I was hoping to use pdanet to connect my Flyer to Evo phone for internet access when wifi is not available. I installed it on both devices, followed all directions, and they both said they were paired and connected. But Flyer can't get online.
Has anyone else tried this? Or know what I'm doing wrong?

Why should someone? Both devices have all functions for a direct connection and didn't need old tools like pdanet?!
On the EVO phone:
-> Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Portable Wi-Fi hotspot ...
On the Flyer:
- Connect to the WiFi which you set up above
PS. Some providers didn't aloud to make a WiFi-Hotspot on their 3G connections.

Yes, I know this, but sorry to say I don't want to pay $30 every month for occasional internet access for Flyer to access the very same stuff I could do on the phone. So I don't understand the extra charge. Data is data, and if I go over what I pay for, I am happy to pay for additional. Why should the device matter? Hence, a tethering app.

Right. Not rooted.
I thought pdanet was a wired tether app? Hate to sound like a cliche xda user but root might be your best bet.

Pdanet has a bluetooth connection option, and also now has a beta tablet version. I think Easy Tether is wired only. After following directions to configure, it appears they are connected to each other, bluetooth pairing, etc, but no data will flow through phone to tab.
I've had my Evo for quite a while, and it's exactly the way I want it. I hate the thought of rooting and risking really screwing things up. I'd like to make it work without root.
I wonder if there are any integral differences between Flyer and View that would cause problems in connecting to phone hotspot. Is phone hotspot any different from computer wifi?
Now I have a rooted Wifi Flyer with support for Ad-Hoc networks. Just replace the wpa_supplicant file under system/bin with the one you can download on this forum.
The file is located here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754961
No need to flash the zip. Just open it, copy the wpa_supplicant file to your Flyer and reboot.
Now I can use wireless tether with my rooted D1.

I'm on the verge of buying an archos 70 8GB IT, but I need a critical question answered first.
I'm planning on using this on my car, and would need to grab internet from my phone. I have an ATT captivate running a custom froyo rom. Now, there is an function on my phone to start a mobile AP through wifi (I believe it is the standard froyo feature and not some third party add-on).
Does this wifi hotspot not work with the archos? This would be a major dealbreaker as bluetooth is out of the question due to having to use a GPS to bluetooth adapter.
I've read a couple of forums up and down and no one seems to have answered this question completely. It seems that everyone has come to the conclusion that android does not have support for ad-hoc networks. I guess my questions lies more along the lines of whether the froyo mobile ap is an adhoc network.
Thanks.
You may remove your connection.
Re-connect it with power save disabled
it may OK
I am using a ZTE Blade/San Francisco with a custom Froyo rom and I can wireless tether my Archos 70IT to my wireless hotspot.
I have a rooted HTC Incredible with stock froyo, and tether my A70 using Wireless Tether from the market. Works great. So does my bluetooth gps, by the way.
Not that this should change your plans, but the fact that you need Bluetooth for GPS doesn't necessarily eliminate using Bluetooth for tethering simultaneously.
I've done exactly that with a Blackberry Tour (for tethering) and a cheap-when-I-bought-it TomTom Bluetooth external GPS unit. I used this configuration to get Google Navigation working. FWIW, doing this actually drove me to get CoPilot, as I didn't want to be tethered all the time to do GPS navigation.

That's interesting, I was under the impression that you could only have one device paired at one time. This is good news as I was hoping to perhaps write a program that would allow me to use the archos as a bluetooth headset (to receive calls while in the car), but since I would already have been using it for GPS, I didn't think I could do that.
Regarding my original question, it appears the the froyo mobile AP feature does work in infrastructure mode, I made a hotspot and my friend's nexus one connected to it fine.
Thanks.
I tried to tether to my HTC HD2 with WM 6.5.3, but no success. WiFi hotspot is ad-hoc, Bluetooth and USB tethering simply doesn't work. I'm at a deadlock... Any ideas?
Doesn't the HD2 run android as well? You could switch to that.

Could you link to an .APK file for download? On my rooted myTouch Slide with CM6, it just doesn't show up in the market.
I just got my A70 IT 250 gb, I am not able to use Wifi Tether from my Epic 4G. Rooted with Froyo.
any help will be greatly appreciated..
Using the Mobile AP option is the settings menu? Or using some custom Sprint functionality. The Mobile AP one should work.
By the way, where did you buy your A70, I've been trying to buy one but its sold out everywhere.

Wireless Tether is an app you run on your rooted android phone. It shares the phone's 3G/4G connection, which will show up as an available connection in your A70's wireless settings and allow you to access the internet with your tablet.
An adhoc network is used to allow the devices to communicate and share files with each other. I don't believe the A70 will connect using adhoc wifi.

Once you have Wireless Tether installed and opened on your rooted android phone, open up the settings. Change the SSID to something you will recognize. I would leave the encryption and access control off until you have it working. Then go back to the main screen and press to start tethering. Once it starts, open the wifi settings on your A70 and scan for devices. You should see your phone and be able to connect to it.
Once working, I recommend going back and setting the access control and encryption. You will have to set a passphrase in the phone for the encryption, then edit the connection on you tablet (long press) and add it to the settings. With access control enabled, you have to accept the connection on you phone the first time. Once you start tethering and your tablet tries to connect, hit menu->access control on the phone and accept the connection.
I've red that Android devices could connect to ad-hoc networks if you are able to make changes in config files via adb. Alas I can't do this on my 101
hi...i usually connect my lg optimus 2x to PC with USB and use computer's internet connection (reverse USB teethering). but i want to know if its possible to force telephone that it thinks that it is connected to wi-fi, while using 3g data connection. i want use that especially when games want to download data over the wifi...
If your device is rooted, you could get a wireless hotspot app from the market, start the hotspot on your phone, then connect to it (connect your device to itself ).
I don't think you can connect to your own hotspot.

Actually you can. I've said that before to other people who wanted to download gameloft data and for some other purposes which require wifi, and it worked.
I want to do this too.... but the Mobile Hotspot app on my phone turns off WiFi if it is one, and if I turn on Wifi while Mobile Hotpsot is on, it disables the Hotspot.
Any other solution ? An app maybe ? A tweak ?

How? I've been searching for a workaround to this for some time now.
Please tell me how...
I have a rooted Bionic, Eclipse ICS 4.0.4. I use FoxFi Full version for my hotspot. I need my phone to connect to the mobile hotspot it's currently transmitting. (I think that's what I need)
Why? I want an advanced ability to monitor who is using my mobile hotspot, using DroidSheep to monitor what they're using the connection for. Trouble is, DroidSheep (And al similar programs) only work if the phone (with the app) is actually connected to the wifi network. It won't work if it's the one transmitting the signal.

You just have one wifi Modul it can be a hot spot or it can be connected to a Router.
Both together isn't possible.

Paired my galaxy s II to my tablet through bluetooth. I enabled bluetooth tethering but still can't get an internet connection. Under bluetooth settings it says next to the galaxy s II - Paired but not connected

hmm the wrench gives me -
xxxxx options
Rename Device
Unpair

xxxxx being the name of my phone and nothing underneath profiles
if able to, use wifi tethering instead. BT slowestof tethering methods. but if wifi won't work, BT is better than no connection at all. Barnacle or Wifi Tether are good apps to use. phone with internet connection needs root for it to work. so o guess if your phone not rooted and BT tether works, its better than nothing. lol

You have to be rooted and have a kernel that supports wifi tether. Thenn you have to run a .zip patch through the recovery screen just Google your device and include wifi tether and/or patch. There are hundreds of how to writeups.

easy solution then. if u rooted already, just Google the wireless tethering apk and Barnacle apk. and you should be able to tether over wifi without having to pay for the plan. as long as you have a data connection and don't go overboard on the tethering like doing huge downloads n such.
Yeah I know I can install the apk's and make it work but I am a little afraid of getting caught and losing my grandfathered unlimited data plan. I read once where they can see that you are tethering since the MAC address of the device using the data is embedded in the transmission or something like that.
Any Verizon phones successfully connected?
If you have a Verizon phone and can bluetooth tether please say which model you have. I unfortunately bricked my HTC Incredible trying to follow some convoluted process for downgrading and then rooting.
So, yeah, I have to get a new phone and would like to know which one I should get that will allow me to bluetooth tether without rooting.
BTW, I am getting really frustrated with Android and the tweaking, hacking, and manipulating just to get functions to work. I don't have an Apple bone in my body, but I envy them for ease of use.
I used wireless tether without any problem on my old droid X, but now I'm having connection issues. My Asus transformer can see my Rezound just fine and connect, but my in dashoard Galaxy Tab doesn't see it at all.
I've tried the current beta of Wireless Tether, 2.0.7, Barnacle, and Open Garden, all with the same results.
We need to nail down what specific settings those successfully tethering are using.
Please list the following.
1. What app you are using.
2. What settings you are using (device presets, clamping, ect.).
3. What you are successful in tethering wirelessly to.
I'm going to run a few more tests, and post mine.
I don't mean to ask a dumb question but these apps just allow you to use your phones 4g on a laptop, etc. ? Are they free if you have unlimited data?
Why aren't people using Mobile hotspot to tether or am I getting confused?

Thanks for the post. I really need to know this too. I've tried everything but still a no go.
According to wiki ad hoc needs the same channels to work. For the people that do have it working what channels are you using in ad hoc mode.
Definition
To set up an ad-hoc wireless network, each wireless adapter must be configured for ad-hoc mode versus the alternative infrastructure mode. In addition, all wireless adapters on the ad-hoc network must use the same SSID and the same channel number.

The problem is what devices you try to use to connect to your phone's mobile connection. I tried connecting with my Asus laptop (Windows 7) and it wouldn't connect correctly. I tried connecting with my gf's windows xp laptop and it works perfectly fine!
If you have questions about wireless tethering, please go do a bit of searching and reading, there are hundreds if threads that describe what it is.
This is a thread so we can get it working right.

I fought for days over this before this release and from my trial and endless errors Ive come to realize (very very long story short) for the time being the best work through is using "OpenGarden" from the market.

I've successfully tethered my IPad2 to my Rezound with Wireless Tether 2.0.7.
I also tether my Ipad2 without any problems. I'm using Open Garden.
I have an HTC Legend that I don't use anymore, an SGS+ and an Acer A501. All three are rooted and have CM9. I don't get wireless in a certain part of the house, and I was wondering if I could transform the Legend in a wireless repeater of sorts. Now, I think that's really possible just by connecting via wireless to the main network and then just running as a wireless hotspot, but I can't really place it somewhere decent enough to repeat my signal (it's complicated).
So, trying to get my tablet's wifi to connect to the computer's LAN via the HTC cell phone, I tried all last night with all sorts of variations, ending up with an app called Reverse Tether, which connects to the computer's internet via USB, and another called Foxfi / PDANet Tablet, which communicates (poorly) via bluetooth. The problem seems to be that most wireless tethers expect 3g/4g to be connected and don't work with anything else.
Now, is there a solution to my little conundrum? Am I doing something horribly wrong or is there no "app for that"?
Thanks!
