Hi guys, the Transformer Prime does not have 3g (yet), so when I'm on the go I have to use tethered internet from my phone. I am going to use wifi tethering as soon as my prime arrives, but I have one question:
Is it possible to share the internet connection via cable (HTC Sensation plugged into the keyboard dock)? I think this would use by far less battery...

Hi guys,
I have a rooted cynogen mod Lg P500.
I can connect my xbox360 to my laptop for bridging a connection. but have recently moved to ubuntu so the bridging is a mission and a half.
So I was wondering if it was possible to use an android phone as an xbox360 wireless adapter.
By this I mean:
My android is connected to my networks wifi.
I want to connect my xbox360 to the android and connect to xbox live.
Is this possible?
no your internet source need to be 3g or 2g to enable wifi hot spot on your phone.
the phone cannot work like a switch
It wouldn't be a wifi hot spot since we need the phone as an adapter.
I'm thinking this is closer to wired tethering.
Is this too late or is there some way to it. I'm not ready to buy a new router and if an android can do this with PDAnet, could it also work with the xbox?
Is there a way to tether the Thunderbolt with the MBR1200 or any type of Cradlepoint router? I saw on Cradlepoint's forums the Incredible and Blackberries were not officially supported but would work and that almost all Android devices should work as well.
Why not root and use a wireless tether app? That way you don't need a router
I am rooted and have the wireless tether app. I was hoping to be able to use my TB to connect my xbox to live without having to use internet connection sharing on my pc.
Another option would be to get a WiFi antenna for your xbox.

Trying to hook up to evo here as well.
I know it's ndis device just like the mogul and ps2 were. I don't know why they are able to but the evo and the sister models aren't working on it. Specially since evo has been out a year. if they need a ata diagnostic to see the activation lines I'd be more then willling to do one and copy the info to them.
HTC Thunderbolt w/ Cradlepoint MBR1200
I own a Cradlepoint MBR 1200 and was thinking about purchasing an HTC Thunderbolt to connect to this router so I could have unlimited 4G data. Is it possible to do this. I have not been able to get a clear answer.
I don't have 4G, but I will try to hook my T-bolt up to my MBR1000 later today and let you know what happens.
Subscribed. I have one of these at work that I have been working with. When connected to USB it cannot obtain an connection. It's like you need to edit modem settings or something. Of course if you back fed it into a PC in the WAN port you might be able to set up an outgoing connection.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I used Internet connection sharing on a pc and plugged the Ethernet cable into the wan port and it worked that way. I also bought a cheap wireless bridge and connected my Thunderbolt to it using the rooted wireless tether app so that I wouldn't have to have a computer always on to use the Thunderbolt's connection. It does seem that the problem with connecting it does have to do with the MBR not recognizing it but the MBR doesn't seem to recognize it is even plugged in, I read on Cradlepoint's site how to connect a Incredible to the router, but the Thunderbolt does not have the same connection choice as the Incredible does. If someone could figure out the difference between the connection types it doesn't seem like it would be that hard to make a app for this http://blog.cradlepoint.com/an-android-powered-cradlepoint-router.
I used the built-in wired tethering and it didn't work...yet...
When i get some more free time I'll try something like Easy Tether.
I'll see if I can find anything about modem settings as well...
i really hope the title made since but if it didnt hear is what im wondering is possible to do in any way with any app. i know how to use my G2 as a wifi and usb hotspot via tmobiles blazing fast 2meg service here in louisiana but what i actually would like to be able to do is have my home charter internet from my wifi router to my G2 and from the G2 to my new desktop via usb cable (doesnt have wifi and im out of usb wifi adapters). So basically .....Netgear wifi router>HTC G2>Usb cable>Desktop. Is this even a remote possibilty or am i stuck using the 2meg (5gig limit) tmobile connection? thanks for any help that can be offered, veritasaequita
So you're essentially attempting to utilize the phone as a WiFi adapter, correct? If that is the case, I'm pretty sure you can connect to WiFi and then connect the phone to your PC in internet tethering mode.
that is exactly what im wanting to do, im gonna try it real quick. i hadnt tried it because as i recalled when wifi connects usb greys out but i could be thinking of wifi tethering doing that. ima give it a quick try and post back. thanks for lending a hand
You're very welcome
I have just received my transformer prime and I am having trouble tethering my GSM galaxy nexus. The firmware has been upgraded to the latest build of ICS for both devices. I get a notification telling me that the connection via bluetooth tethering has been successful but I am unable to use it. I have also tried pdanet tablet with no luck. Is it possible to tether the phone with the tablet via bluetooth at all? Should I just bite the bullet and use wifi instead?
i know your talking about bluetooth, but if you mean ad-hoc... its been removed from ICS ... sorry
What do you mean by ad-hoc tethering? I have seen this term around the forums but not sure what it refers to.
I am able to do do wifi tethering just fine on my prime. The reason I would like to try it over bluetooth is to save battery on my phone.
You're in for some trouble. I have a Gnex and a Android Tablet. There's an issue with the Gnex dating back to last year where the BT connection will drop after a few minutes. Its a gigantic pain in the ass and to date I haven't found a fix.

Hi to all.
Did anyone tried ethernet tethering maybe?
If someone can, could you please try:
1. Ethernet tethering via adapter
2. Ethernet tethering with power delivery (charging).
I have an option to buy used with damages for low money and i need a good SIM "router". I dont bother with battery ATM, there is a solution to remove battery.
Thank you all
A little late but here's my experience. You can Ethernet tether internet from your phone to your pc using usb (whether it's from wifi or 4G) but I was only able to do this from the official MIUI ROM. Any other custom ROM failed this for me.
