[Q] internet sharing from a WM6.5 phone to Android tablet?

I have an HTC touch 2 running WM6.5 with a custom rom. I use internet sharing all the time with my laptop (running XP) while at work. Much cheaper than the stupid dongles
I am looking at getting an ePad tablet pc running android 2.1 or 2.2 for Christmas.
My question is: can I simply turn on the internet sharing on my phone and plug the usb into the new android tablet; and will android pick it up as a generic internet sharing device like my laptop?
If not is there an app that will allow this?
I prefer to use the usb cable while sharing the connection as it keeps my phone charged up at the same time. If this is not possible will I be able to share the connection over blue-tooth, or will I have to resort to running a mobile WiFi router app on my phone?
Thanks

I'm really surprised that I have no replys to this?
Hasn't anyone tryed it yet??

Quick google search turned up a few ways to make this happen. I for one always used MyWY for my IPhone and used it as a wifi hotspot for my ipad when i had both of them. I'm seeing that you can of course do this with your phone and an android tablet also. If you do not want to use the "hotspot" option and just use the wifi on your tablet to connect to your cellphone to use the internet connection, you can do one of the following instead:
bluetooth using PDAnet (from what I've read) and you can also use the USB connection to tether the two for use of your cellphones internet. I've found nothing that states this is the case for ALL tablets though. From what I see, a lot of the tethering options out there that people are using require you to install a driver to use your cellphones internet connection with a PC/laptop with an USB cord. So using the USB might be hit and miss in this case.
I would look into the wifi hot spot option or using bluetooth. The only drawback to this is the battery usage on your cellphone is going to be HIGH.
I'm not sure if that is of any help to you at all man. It's the best I can come up with right now though, sorry. I hope you get it figured out

I'm using Archos 101 and HTC tytn WM 6.1
I had the same concern for my new bought Archos tablet. It can't pair up with my WM 6.1 and therefore I'm seeking other ways to solve it. such as finding software to let my WM6.1 act as a Wireless router so that my Archos device can connect to it as normal Wifi connection. Hope someone can give advice to this post. thanks.

WMwifirouter should get you guys going. I guess if your phone will connect via usb to the tablet that it will get it's power via that but I can't imagine that the output USB power is enough to charge the phone over it's discharge rate. I guess I mean to say that you will extend your phone's battery life but it will still drain while connected.
That's all I can offer.
Oh HTC has a wifi router app that was free on my last phone...well free in the NRG romz.

I'm still using my WM6.1 Smartphone but carry an Nexus 7 Android Tablet around, too. So I decided to couple them!
Setup was easy:
1. Connect devices via BT
2. Share Internet Connection (WM Smartphone)
3. Use Internet Connection (Android Tablet)
4. Enjoy!
It's similar to using the connection on Ubuntu: http://www.serkey.com/ubuntu-intern...-between-windows-mobile-and-linux-bejgbv.html

[Q] Tethering/Reverse-Tethering Not Working on rooted Motorola Fire XT 530!

I don't have a WiFi connection at home, but the PC's net connection is pretty fast. My mobile data plan is a limited one, so I can't download large apps and games using it. For that reason I wanted to reverse-tether. But till now, I couldn't even manage to just 'simple' tether the phone. When I enable tethering, NO NEW CONNECTION or whatever comes. I'm using Win7 Ultimate x64. Any idea? I tried un-rooting and that to doesn't solve the problem. The drivers are already installed, without them, I wouldn't have successfully patched the phone's ROM earlier.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Any help anyone?

Install connectify on your laptop having wifi or buy a router but remember android does not support adhoc connectivity on most of the devices so do this only on windows 7.
PM me if you need more info because i have already faced and resolved such situation.

[Completed] Latest Android phones not connecting to WiFi router

At work we installed a new WiFi router a few months back. The connection is open and no one needs a password to connect to it. But many who bought android phones recently arent able to connect to it. I have a OnePlus One with android 4.4.4 which doesnt connect to the WiFi. My colleagues own Xiaomi, Motorola phones which they bought recently, which also doesnt connect to the internet.
The phones detect the WiFi signal, says the network is saved but fails to connect to it no matter what. The temporary solution is to make our laptop into a WiFi router and use it but this is seriously annoying. The router is from HP and I dont know the exam model number for it at the moment
I will be grateful if someone can find any solution for this problem. Also, I am a novice when it comes to gadgets so, if your suggestion is to manually set up my WiFi settings please do so with clear instructions or a video of some sort. However I will be happy if this problem gets solved in a straightforward manner.
Please help!

No need to configure wifi on your device IMO.
Sounds like an issue with the wifi router.
To check an fix the internet settings of the wifi router, you will need the adminstrative access/console/password for the router.
Then you can check that all new devices afre allowed to connect. On some routers you can restrict the access to a list of known devices or by enabling a MAC address filtering.
If you find such options on the HP wifi router, disable it and restart the wifi.
And make sure that the SSID of the wifi network is visible (= not hidden). Some Android devices have issue connecting to hidden networks.

Thread closed. Thank you.

Sharing internet connection with android if Win10 Laptop is unable to create hotspot

Hello,
This may sound weird but I'm sure I'm not the only one facing this problem. I don't want to invest on a wifi router just yet. It was pretty easy to share my laptop's internet connection with my phone when I was on Windows 7. But ever since I upgraded to Windows 10, some of my device drivers are messed up. I've tried installing multiple drivers (one at a time of course) to get my laptop to create a WiFi hotspot. Haven't succeeded yet.
But what I can do is connect my laptop to other WiFi networks.
I wonder if there is a way in which I can share my broadband connection from my laptop to my phone. Can the Android community help?

Windows 10 laptop tethering problem

Hi,
I am totally new here and just joined to ask this question. I am hoping someone can help me please.
I have a 9 month old Lenovo Windows 10 laptop. I use my phone's hotspot to access the internet on my laptop. I have always had a trouble free experience and the connection has always been super fast.
As of yesterday, when using the internet on my laptop via phone hotspot, pages are taking forever to load or don't load at all. The laptop itself is working fine and as normal, it's just anything internet related that isn't working. The laptop in-built troubleshooter isn't throwing up any issues.
I tried:
• Restoring the laptop to an earlier restore point.
• Using another network sim card in my phone.
• Using someone else's mobile hotspot.
• Factory resetting my phone.
The issue still persists.
The only thing I haven't tried is connecting my laptop to someone's home broadband. That would help determine whether the issue is with the laptop or with the phone / hotspot connection.
I am at a total loss and would be deeply grateful if someone could help me through this.
Many thanks.
