Hello everyone!
I have my gtablet running the latest installment of Vegan and I love it. I'm always trying to make improvements on it somehow, and now I'm trying to tether it to my droid 2 so I can "borrow" its 3g. I've looked in the the Barnacle method, wireless tether for root users, and pdanet tablet. None of those really worked for me. I wish pdanet tablet was more stable otherwise it would be the perfect solution. Has anyone found out a stable tethering solution?
My tablet has the latest Vegan-Tab, and my D2 has gb 2.3 rooted on it, if that helps. Thanks!

I'm running VEGAn 5.1.1 on one of my gTabs and I don't have any problems tethering using either of my rooted Motorola phones (Droid X on Verizon and Atrix on AT&T) phones using Barnacle. I do have some intermittent connectivity issues with the lated released Wireless Tether for Root Users but after I started to use the unreleased version 3 beta it doesn't have that problem anymore.
On the other gTab I'm running CyanogenMod 7.0.3 and it doesn't have connectivity issues either.
Barnacle seems to want to work, but the gtablet keeps saying that its obtaining the ip adress and then itll eventually give up. also, the 3g signal indicator turns from blue to black. im not quite sure what that means.

Hey guys I am trying to get the gtablet to see my rooted droid x. The color nook rooted works perfectly, but for some reason the gtablet with vegan gingerbread does not see it at all. Anyone have any ideas?
Wifi Tether works perfect on my droid X. What are you using on the phone?
I am using the tether that came with Apex rom on rooted droid x. Seems the gtablet can not see an adhoc network.
Hey all,
Just moved for work to a new locale that has no internets... really annoying. I have been attempting to use my Thunderbolt to tether, but it frequently drops out on me and I was wondering if anyone had success with a rom/ app combo for prolonged moderate to heavy internet use. Currently I am using:
-CM7 test 6
-usb tether included on CM7
any suggestions/ ideas are appreciated. If I can't get this to work I'll be building some ridiculous cardboard/ tinfoil contraption in an attempt to connect to my works wifi down the road. Thanks
I have been using Wireless Tether from the market on various BAMF roms with zero issues. No USB needed!
You'll likely need to swith to airlpane mode and connect to wfi on your bolt to find this app. VZW doesn't want you to find it.
I have used Wifi Tether and Barnacle on many Froyo and GB roms, mostly BAMF versions, and I have not had any issues w/ them running.
I've been having good luck using the easytether program off the market on bamf and gingeritis.
i couldnt get barnacle to work with 4g. does anyone know an app that does? id prefer wireless tether but usb would be fine
I'm a heavy "tetherer" (if that's a word...) and I found that the gingerbread radio is the fastest radio, for the phone and for tethering, which means you'll obviously have to be on a gb rom (I'd personally recommend the new bamf 2.1), and I always use the 'wireless tether' app which works the best without any issues (unlike barnacle and others), and i use it for heavy streaming like netflix on pc and ipad, and it works flawless. (You better have it charging though or else your battery will die in no time) cm7 is still pretty unstable (on the thunderbolt) so i don't know why anyone would use it day to day (again only tb, it's my favorite on my evo though!)
hope this helps
I currently have the android wifi-tether v 3.1 beta 7 in my RAZR. I am happy with it but there are times when my phone will just freeze up and would not let me turn off the wifi tether resulting of me rebooting phone. Will there be an advantage to update to the latest, which is 3.1 beta 11? What are the advantage, if any? I ask this because I could not get the info from the website itself.
I am using Beta 10 and haven't had any of those issues.
Im running Beta 9 and it works fine as well
So is it pretty easy to set up free wifi tethering on the Razr once you've rooted the phone? Probably getting it today and just wanted to make sure I'd be able to make that happen.
Something in the 'unlock bootloader' petition thread seemed to indicate that we couldn't do free wifi tethering without having the bootloader unlocked, which didn't seem right.
I know it is possible to tether android tablet to an android phone via bluetooth so the tablet can use phone internet. Is it possible to do the same with two android phones? I know it's doable over wi-fi, but bluetooth uses less battery.
in this specific case two phones in question are thunderbold and incredible. thunderbolt is rooted, incredible is not but I can root it if needed to make this work.
thank you

Thank you.
Finally I installed ICS on my incredible and paired both phones but still can't tether. any ideas?
I still need help with this.
I rooted my incredible, flashed ICS ROM and installed wifi tether 2.7, there is a bluetooth tether option there.
my thunderbolt has BAMF SoaB and bluetooth tether is greyed out in wifi tether app.
according to my research, it's a kernel issue, I need kernel that has "CONFIG_BT_BNEP". I tried flashing several different kernels with no success.
if anybody is successfully running bluetooth tether on their thunderbolt, please let me know which kernel you have installed.
thank you
on galaxy ace doesn't work :-??
This would be very nice if anyone could get this working.
I've had my Moto Xoom paired and using my phones internet via bluetooth many times, but I think it would be convenient to share by Droid 4's internet with my old D2 as well.
Has anyone had any luck with this besides using a WiFi hot spot and draining your battery in a couple hours?
So i wanted to tether my G Tab to my Epic 4g phone. I installed Wifi Tether on my phone and it works great with other wireless connections like my computer. But it doesn't seem to work with this ROM... Did some general searches and it seems that AdHoc is not supported?? That there might be files that i can install that would fix this? Could someone help me out as to where i could find these file or whether it will work at all?
Thanks Guys and Gals...

I had an Epic Touch and had some issues with certain ROMs tethering. I just used my gTablet with my Motorola Photon yesterday and it worked fine. I'm using TeamDRH's JellyBean ROM and it works really well. You might want to consider giving it a shot.
I'm not 100% on which was to blame, the phone or the tablet, but here's their latest Jelly Bean ROM:

Maybe this will help. Might not be baked in to the Rom.
I'm running Gharmony 1.6.2 and it tethers perfectly with my EVO LTE, which is of course infrastructure tethering.
I had an epic 4g touch before my current phone and I recall that being adhoc tether. The fix might be baked in to Team DRH already.
Hope this helps.
