Hi there!
As I couldn't find soulution I decided to write a new topic here.
Recently I've bought 7" Navigation/Tablet with android 2.3 on board, as I am owner of Omnia i900 which I used a lot as a internet access form my laptop ( simply plugh in usb, internet sharing - and it worked) I would like to connect my Tablet with Omnia and share internet form it. Tablet has miniUSB (allready bought usb>miniUsb adapter) but I have no idea how to get connection in my tablet.
This is how I would like to connect it:
(internet network) > Omnia> usb cable for omnia > USB to miniUSB> Tablet
anyone know how can I run internet that way? Is this posslible at all?
I will be really greatful if some one know the solution.

Are your rooted? I would recommend hotspot if so....

Becareful, not sure if you carrier can see it or not. I am in no way responsible for what you do with your phone. Just encase! I would not think you would have a problem.

well, need to get program which allows me to make a connection by usb, no wifi, and I want to gwt iinternet from wm phone, on the Omnia site i have right program, I need to get something to accept connection on the Tablet
I have just done some serious searching on this..... i know that certain tablets have an adapter you can buy for like 5 bucks. Do you remember the exact name when you bought ir or was it one that just said "Android 2.3 GPS Table Internet" kind of thing?

it's very same, even look the same, but my is updated to 2.3
I would get a usb to micro/mini depending on what it has, and try it, you can get one for a few bucks on ebay. From what I have seen, it has a chance of working.

Why? It works for my laptop.
Your laptop runs windows and has drivers for it.

FYI - in case anyone is interested, I was able to easily tether my TF700 to my Android phone over bluetooth. It'll even share your phones wifi connection via bluetooth! Extremely easy to setup and it just works...
1. Install FoxFi on your phone
2. Install "PDANet for Tablets" on your TF700 (available for free in Play Store)
3. Select "Activate Bluetooth DUN" in FoxFi on the phone
4. Run PDANet for Tablets on the TF700 and configure it for bluetooth.
5. Simple pair the tablet and phone from within PDANet for Tablets.
6. That's it - you'll be tethered to your phone via bluetooth!
I can't believe how well it works.... Enjoy!
Also - Can do the same thing for wifi tethering as well. The nice thing about bluetooth tethering though is that you can actually share the wifi connection on your phone via bluetooth (something you can't do with normal wifi tethering)... Although, I guess if your phone can connect to wifi, you could just connect your tablet directly to the same wifi! But, it works nonetheless!

Are you saying that you can use your phones mobile broadband connection (3g or 4g) on your tablet with this method?

Is this for those who arnt able to do a mobile hotspot? Trying to understand the advantages. You also mentioned sharing your wifi connect...don't understand the need there either. Not trying to be a smart ass by any means, just trying to understand why BT over hotspot.

Well, if you mean the "paid" hotspot, this method is free. Plus, bluetooth tethering should be easier on the battery as well.
Agreed about with sharing wifi over bluetooth - like I said, it works, but if your phone could connect to wifi, your TF700 should be able to connect directly to the wifi as well. Only purpose for that would be if your TF was not "allowed" to connect to the wifi due to some policy (but your work-supplied phone could) - you could just connect to your phone for wifi access...
But again, the main purpose would be for free tethering (instead of paying a monthly fee).

I paired my phone to my tablet without any of the apps mentioned and was able to get online using the phone's 3G connection. I do have an older phone (DroidX), maybe that makes a difference as far as not needing PDANet, etc.
Forgot not everyone has the ability to do free hotspot. My phone hasn't had a stock ROM since the first handful of stable ROMs were available.

Also, just thought of a use for the share wifi feature. AT&T has alot of free hotspots that are free to ATT devices only, often found at McDonalds. There is often regular free wifi, but the ATT only is less crowded and I usually see faster speeds. I suppose in this scenerio it would be useful too.
It's useful if your traveling with kids and they want to download a new app or something. I have actually found quite a few uses including at work to use it. I just use the hotspot though. The only bad part is that it kills your battery FAST so make sure you have a charger.
I just use Widgetsoid on my Galaxy Nexus to tether.

Am I missing something here? I thought this was a standard feature or is this method required for carriers that ban tethering?
I have a galaxy s2 running Samsung stock 4.03 on Telstra Australia and I tether by Bluetooth all the time to my Tf700t by just enabling it in the phone tethering options, pair devices and connect. Done. No hacks or apps required
you dont need any of those apps just sync phone and tablet via bluetooth and it will ask if you want bluetooth to share internet

Either I'm missing something or this is *not* a "Standard" feature for all carriers. In my case, I'm using a "pre-paid" phone from VIrgin Mobile. It's $35/month for unlimited everything (except phone minutes - you get 300 anytime minutes). I certainly can "pair" my devices via bluetooth, but I don't get an option to share my internet (and even thought the devices did "pair", they will not "connect" to each other).
I do know that "tethering" was an extra monthly option in my case (an extra $15/month option!).
Again, I don't see any way to tether without using these apps. The phone itself is an HTC EVO V 4G (re-badged EVO 3D) - If I try to enable the wifi "portable hotspot mode" I get an error and it just won't work. Cannot find a way to share the internet via blutooth either (without said apps).
So, I do believe that this method will be useful for some as I don't believe that you can tether for free with all carriers.
Again, unless I'm missing something!

I tried to tether my iPhone with optus prepaid and got an error saying it was not activated by the carrier so I am sure android must have this carrier dependant feature in place. I had to install a hack on my iPhone to get around it so I can why you may need apps to get around it for Android as well. Just thankful my carrier allows free tethering a stupid idea IMO to not allow it
Sorry a bit OT, but how does one enter the pin code for BT pairing the Asus? (I have a GNote)...I get them to pair but not to connect...I type the number keys on the asus dock and nothing happens...

As I mentioned, I use wifi tethering. I also have the GNote (ATT Version, I717) running King Kang AOKP rom and never have an issue. If you flash ROMs you may be better off just using wifi as it'll autoconnect when you pop the wifi from your phone and no pairing and connecting and pin code mess. Just a thought.
Having no problems with built in bt tether....to my sensation

Widgetsoid is probably a little better. You just create a widget for portable wifi htspot and turn it on. I use it on my galaxy nexus.

I find it pretty much useless.
It doesn't support my system (I use Windows Media Center and its remote). It doesn't offer a TV Grid. It tries too hard to guess what I want to watch when my viewing patterns are kind of unpredictable.
I tried it on my father's system and it didn't know his TV either. (He also has Media Center - but uses a real TV, so double fail - I watch TV on my computer montor, so I don't have a TV).
Peel doesn't seem to have any way to learn a new remote - and repeated emails to the company that makes it has resulted in no replies at all.
The IR remote capability was one thing that excited me about the Note - now I'm feeling a bit disappointed by the weak software they included.

I have samsung TV's and Direct TV and it works very well. Do not use it all the time but every time I have gone to use it I have had no problems. I have two rooms set up on it for two different systems.
I happen to have a Samsung LED TV that it works on..
So along with the Samsung Remote, and Unified Remote apps the Note 10.1 its my new remote for my home theater!
Works for me too for our living room system and mancave system. Although, it isn't necessarily a replacement for the Logitech Universal remotes I have.
I didn't think I'd use it (I have Google TV boxes) but I've started using it for the programming guide. I have a couple different TV brands and it works with all of them. It also works with my Yamaha, Denon, and Onkyo receivers and multiple different Motorola cable boxes. It's not very intuitive but it's pretty cool once you figure it out. And you can set what categories it displays to minimize selection clutter.
I was really disappointed with this app as it first will with a sky satellite box in the UK. I emailed the developer who replied after a couple of weeks to say that it is for American and Canadian users only at present and they are working hard on an international version....thanks Samsung for marketing this somewhat useless app for most of the world.

works just fine with my home theater setup... Mitsubishi HDTV, Onkyo receiver, Panasonic BD player, Comcast box.
The original version of Peel was kind of basic, but they upgraded it recently to include channel controls and whatnot, so it's a bit more useful than it was.
Do I use it? No, not really. I know when and what I want to watch, so it's more of a "look at what my tablet does!" feature more than anything. It's neat and all, but yeah, just no real need for it.
I tried using it but it will not work with my Dish Network sat box VIP 722. sent email to developer but got no useful help.
I love it. On time warner with a Mitsubishi TV and Yamaha surround sound. Use it about 75% of the time I'm watching TV

That is because that box works with uhf signals for the remote if im not mistaken. If that is the box for dual rooms. It should work with the primary tuner however.

Well, I'd be pretty surprised if it didn't support Samsung TVs and components since it's included on - you know - a Samsung tablet.
That being said, I guess what's bothering me is the lack of any way to 'train' the remote. There are very few other remote TV apps out there.
It's one of those cases where if you have a TV or system they support, live in the right country and find their approach to TV good, it's a good app. If any of those are false, it's pretty much useless. I'm also kind of disappointed by the terrible customer support Peel seems to offer.
Ah well, time to dig into the kernel code and see if I can write something a bit more generic and easier to use - with remote training capability.

Sounds interesting. I originally thought I could clone other remotes or whatever. But peel just scans through its own data base of codes. Which seems to be limited.
Have you tried mentioning the limitation on the playstore review? I see alot of developers quick to respond up there.

yes it is the box for dual rooms and I set the primary receiver to use IR but it didn't work. I have read about the problem on other websites also. Not sure why the developer hasn't updated the software to fix the problem yet.
I find it pretty useful. Works on my TV (vizio) & with my cable box (cable vision/io, scientific Atlanta is the brand).

Definitely worth a try...
I see a lot of people are using this, but I got nowhere with it. The first thing it tried to do was turn on my TV. It's a Toshiba flatscreen (only a couple of years old) and didn't work. It prompted me to send a message to the developers. Okay, great. But then it didn't prompt me to do anything else, and I can't figure out how to get it to do anything else. I'd like to try to get it to turn on my receiver or Time Warner cable box. Or use the guides everyone's talking about. But I can't get past the "turning on the TV part."
What am I missing?
i have an Olevia 537H that it was giving me some problems with. the first code it sent worked, or so i thought, but then i couldn't change the source, up/down onthe channels, so i reset it. this time i skipped the first one that turned the tv on, and the next code that worked i went with it. works flawless now, source, etc. i don't necessarily like the scrolling through the shows on because it seems to "grip" the screen past the show i want, or go back one, but it works pretty decently. my remote for the tv sucks so this gives me what i need.

I use WMC as well. Try using this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.MarkusGehlhaar.MCC&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImRlLk1hcmt1c0dlaGxoYWFyLk1DQyJd
it frigging rules on Android for controlling WMC!
Yup. I love messing with people in our house... LOL
TIP:
1. Turn on TV and set it to a channel with no signal, i.e. grey screen.
2. Turn it off.
3. Place the remote on the table or anywhere someone can see it.
4. Hide somewhere.
5. Turn on the TV using your amazing Samsug GALAXY Note 10.1.
6. ???
7. Profit!
So I searched through forums trying to find an answer before posting this. I didn't see a similar post, unless it was embedded pages deep into a post somewhere i didn't see.
One of my relatives has a galaxy tab 2 7". They don't have any internet access at their home for their desktop pc ( like 5 year old hp running win xp, but they do pay for the 4g on the tablet ). Their work went paperless and they want to print off their check stubs at home ( don't ask me why, I"m not going to argue with them ). So they bought a Kodak wireless printer, I'm trying to figure out how I can print from the tablet to the printer. I had them get a router so I can get the printer on a wireless network, but I'm not sure how to print from the tablet once i get that setup. I'm fairly comfortable with networking stuff, just not so much printing with no internet connection ( if they had internet, i would just have them use cloudprint and chrome, or something similar ).
I know as a last resort I can get a microsd to sd adapter and have them save their paycheck file ( pdf i believe ). then take out the microsd, put in adapter and plug into printer directly and print, or plug the tablet into the printer with usb cable and go through that, but I would like to keep this as simple as possible ( pull up check, click print, done ) if that can be done. ( relatives aren't tech savvy, as you should tell not having any internet at their house )
Any ideas/thoughts/suggestions?
I think the only way to print from a tablet at the moment is with an app. The only way I can print from my tablet his with the hp printing app to print to the hp printer. Hope this helps.

I would search if they have a adapter for the tab2 to be able to plug in a usb adapter. For my Nexus 7 I use a otg cable and I can plug in usb devices but this is only allowed if the kernel supports it. That's the only other thing I can think of at the moment . Hopefully this is useful.

Take note it's not free, I think it costs around US$12. However you can try the free version to see if it can connect to your wireless printer (check compatibility) if I am not wrong.
From what I see, printing is not exactly a simple or easy task on Android as it's not a feature Google planned for?

I just installed a new Android-based head unit into my BMW, and it's supposed to rely on your phone for internet access. Since I have a mobile share plan with AT&T and have been able to tether all sorts of things to my One X (including my N7), I didn't figure to have any problems.
Well, I have. The head unit sees the phone just fine, and will connect most of the time, but it either stalls on "Acquiring IP address" or appears to connect but gets no internet access.
I've played around with the settings to no avail. I tried setting a static IP address on the head unit, and though that got me past the acquiring address issue, it still can't get an internet connection.
This unit has a reputation for being finicky about tethering, but every other discussion of this issue I've seen is about problems seeing the phone or connecting at all. So I'm thinking this is related to the connection setting, not a hardware conflict.
Any ideas?
If you have wireless at your home see if the radio will connect to your home router if it has enough range. That will eliminate a problem with the radio. Other than that I don't know it should connect?

Ya HTC phones have these issues for some reason, you prob already installed WiFi fix from op in viper thread? Also broadcast ssid first time then you can shut off broadcast . Android in general hates hidden ssid. Check what band and make sure its same . (Wireless n &g). There may be some issue with accepting connection. When I set up hotspot on phone it would ask permission on phone and on device trying to connect. Also if you have es file manager you can set up server on phone through that program . I would say it will all sudden connect and you will be good. Also try messing with static and dynamic settings . But def make sure you have WiFi partitions installed found on op in viperxl thread

Nothing worked. I finally gave up and went and got a portable hotspot at the AT&T store. Of course it connected immediately with no issues. Fortunately I'm on a mobile share plan so it's all the same data.
