So, I'm running on the latest nightly of cm7 on my vibrant with a glitch kernel. What I want to do is share my wired connection with my laptop, phone, and ps3 without having a wireless router. The thought is to use reverse USB tethering to put the connection to my phone then use the wifi hotspot ability to share the connection with my ps3. I know the ps3 won't recognize Adhoc being produced by the computer, also it's impossible to receive wifi and broadcast it at the same time. So is it possible to do what I propose?

I have Parrot Asteroid in my car as of last night and i am looking for a way to share internet with it. Apparently it supports bluetooth DUN via cell phones but as far as i know the SGS2 doesn't support DUN. I have tried wifi tether for root to test but i get an error on the device. Ideally i would like to have Native DUN support for the SGS2 so when it connects via bluetooth for the voice and media it will start sharing internet without any application startup.
Also an alternative method would be USB internet sharing between the android device. This will be beneficial as it would charge the phone too. I know this is supported to a windows machine but another android device?
When using MobilAP, or USB tether, on my Captivate, I could not play a video, or watch a slide presentation at FoxNews. Before applying a stock rooted rom to my AT&T SGS2, I was using PDANet to tether my phone and I could watch both. Now that I have the stock MobilAP(Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot) and USB tethering working on my SGS2, it acts the same as my Captivate. I did find that by enabling USB Debugging, as PDANet instructs you to do, the stock USB tethering will play the videos and the slide shows; however, Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot will not play them.
anyone got bluetooth tethering to work?
I have an Atrix on Cyanogen Mod 7 which allows my laptop to bluetooth tether to it, so I know it can do it. However when I pair my Sony Tablet to it, I don't get any options to do anything, let alone tether.
e.g. when I pair to headphones I get option to use as audio etc. but with my phone, i can only pair, I can't do anything else and no options / uses are presented.
what are you trying to do with your phone/tablet via bluetooth? Seems like it would be easier over wifi. If you're trying to tether via bluetooth that won't work, and beside bluetooth data transfers are super slow.
the advantage is that I don't have to manually toggle wifi hotspot on and off on my phone. I can just leave bluetooth on (on my phone, I also use BT headset so I leave it on anyway) and connect at will.
I do not have a permanent Internet connection at my home. I live by myself, so there's no point in having a connection when I'm not there. I have a laptop, a desktop, a Blu-Ray player, an Xbox 360, a WiFi printer and an older WiFi receiver that connects to a printer with an Ethernet connection.
I have the T-Mobile unlimited Monthly4G plan, and what I would like to do is create a permanent WiFi network at home that will automatically connect to my phone for an Internet connection when I turn on the tethering. This way all the devices can communicate with one another and the IPs will remain the same even when the phone is not in range.
Has anyone ever tried this? Can I do it with a wireless repeater?
OK so I have two android devices, a phone and a tablet. My tablet is the new NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet. I have a horrible old slow router, so gamestream doesn't work well. I was wondering if there was some way to use my phone as a router of sorts. My pc doesn't have wifi so I have to use USB tethering. Is there any way to use USB tethering on my phone, and connect to a LAN network via wifi on my table typo to my pc for game streaming, just like through a regular wifi modem? My phone is a Galaxy s4 on AT&T. Both android devices are rooted with stock roms.
