Does anyone know how to get the x10 WiFi or Bluetooth connection working on a playbook? I am currently on CM7 rom.
Please help
What do you mean? Tethering to it and pairing? Should work just fine. I dont have any problems. Not running CM 7 at the moment but if your wifi and bluetooth work then should be good.
I tried BT tether as well as WiFi tether and they don't work. On CM7 roms the WiFi tether only works in ad-hoc mode which the playbook does not support. maybe i will try a different rom.
pairing works but not tethering
Rom's based on stock seem to work, I can tether my data connection to the playbook. As for the bluetooth, it pairs but I am unable to actually send any files back and forth (not sure if this option is actually available to non-bridged devices), it runs as a audio/video remote, currently using OS2 Beta, so maybe thats an issue, not sure, didn't check on OS 1.08
Wifi tethering working Blackberry Playbook
Hi,
i´ve had the same issues, beeing not able to wifi tether, with my playbook and Samsung Galaxy S2. Wifi tethering worked with every other device but not with my playbook.
Bluetooth tethering seems to be working with every BB and only some other devices.
So the problem must be in the wifi from bbpb.
Since yesterday there is 2.0.0.7111 beta for Playbook.
I installed the beta and now wifi tether works. I don`t get disconnected anymore.
hope that will work 4 you too.
Register here to be able to get 2.0.0.7111
Sorry, i`m not able to post Links =( ... just google 2.0.0.7111

Have bought Archos device to use my HD2 as a source of internet, but till now there is no chance to make A70 see HD2 as Wi-Fi router (have tested Galaxy Tab - the same result, device do not see HD2). Tethering via BT is also failed - Archos is paired with HD2 but not connected.
Is there any solutions how to make Archos working through HD2 connection to Internet?
Works for me running froyo on my hd2
Yes, I know that it is possible while running Android, but I wanted to have one device with WP and another one with Android.
Have received info from WiFi Analizer app that HD2 is using Ad Hoc that is not supported by Android yet , so no chance for me. So will try to use BT thethering which is also not simple with Leo.
Is there anybody who succed to make work internet through BT thethering - have paired and once I succed to connect both devices, but even then browser failed to load pages
Make sure you're not trying to connect in the bluetooth setting - once its paired click on the 'tether' tab and assuming the apn details that you entered are correct it should just work
Bluetooth tethering works fine for me. I have Htc Hd2 on wm6.5 just put tmobile in apn settings should work was able to use it the other day to watch nfl on slingplayer. if i recall correctly i just paired it via bluetooth first then i went to the bluetooth tether and checked it on. try that.

I'm doing right the same, but tethering fails everytime
already updated to 2.2? my A101 didn't connect with tethering first.
Is anyone else having problems tethering to a rooted Thunderbolt? I have tried PDANet Tablet. The phone and tablet see each other on bluetooth. PDAnet running on both units and say connected but no data transfers.
I have also tried the built in WIFI tethering with the "Infected" rom that I am using. Again it shows connected on both sides but no data is transferring.
The WIFI at my house is working fine on the Prime.
Ad-Hoc tethering to the Prime is a known problem w/ the ICS update.

Try Open Garden (should be available on Android Market)
I have a thunderbolt as well and the only tethering app I could get to work with the Prime was 'Open Garden'. I tried Barnacle, WIFI Tether and one other one, but none of them worked. Not sure what is different about Open Garden but it seems to do the trick.
I tether my phone to my prime every day at work without issue......phone specs in sig. Just using the in-built wifi tethering from cm
There is already many threads about tethering. Couldn't people read and search before starting a new thread? All that have been said above have already been said many times.
I tether with my thunderbolt running built in app. Running Gingeritis 3D and SHIFTSENSE roms.
Hi,
I have read all the posts regarding the inability of ICS on the prime to access ad-hoc networks. I have tried all those 3rd party software (Barnacle, Wifi Tether beta 3.11 - tried to select different phones, pdanet on my Moto Atrix and mywi on a jailbroken Iphone 3GS) and my TP just does not see the ad-hoc network. There is a work around to modify wpa_supplicant (in one of the posts), but don't want my TP to be rooted. I think all these is happening due to ICS since on Honeycomb there was no problem. One of the posts indicated that ICS disables ad-hoc network since they are using WIFI Direct and don't know how that is implemented or used with the TP and able to connect to wifi devices (maybe like phone running a wifi tethering software, don't know)
Other people got it to work and for me, for whatever reason just does not connect my TP.
Another problem I have, is when I use bluetooth with my Atrix, it is indicated paired but not connected and whatever I do, when I click on the phone, the only option I have is rename or unpair, and my suspicion is, my bluetooth never connects to my phone. I tried my bluetooth headset and is connected properly (indicates media and phone connected) and I can hear my music play on my TP. Never works between my phone and TP.
If anybody is kind enough to share their thoughts or even a fix for this, would gladly appreciate it.
Thank you.
I fixed mine by using a custom ROM for my phone with a baked in Wi-Fi tether ie Sprint hotspot or Verizon's hotspots as these work just fine with tether.
I had success with the Open Garden Wifi Tethering app (available on the Android Market).
I have a Thunderbolt and have used Barnacle and Wifi Tether in the past for tethering to my laptop, but neither of these Apps worked with the Prime.
Tether
I also have the TP and a Samsung Intercept vm rooted,wifi tether and Barnacle both don't show up.
Why is this so difficult?
Just installed Open Garden, willsee when my TP gets back from repair (waiting on part! Hope itz a new radio!) Sent it in for weak wifi
theres already been a 20some page thread about this. ICS doesnt have a method to see ad hoc networks. some phones can broadcast in infrastructure, some cannot. Me personally, upgrading to ICS on my Verizon Rezound seems to have fixed its ability to broadcast in infrastructure, and where i was screwed before I am no longer.
I haven't tried adhoc, but it works fine if I turn the wifi hotspot on.
I'm using a custom ICS rom on a T mobile HTC Sensation.
If you have read all those threads - then there is no need to start another one.
with my Huawei u8800 with aurora ics, I can use wifi tethering and share my 3g with every device I tried. All except touchpad.!!! with touchpad I cant see the tethering network of my phone. I used all wifi fixes but no good....
I don't have wifi problem, with my pad I connect to my home s. wireless router quickly and steady as ever. My only problem is that I can't see my phone's wifi tethering network.
My tethering problem is very complex and bizzare....i am trying to tether 3g from my u8800 to my HP touchpad running cm9 alpha2.All effords to make it work with u8800 aurora 2.0 shows that HP touchPAD cannot see the tethering network of the phone.
Other devices i hav tried with u8800 aurora 2.0 (laptops,pcs etc) see the network and connecting to it.
So u thing logically that the problem is not the u8800 aurora 2.0 but the Hp Touchpad.....Here is the good part
If i go back u8800 to official 2.3.5 the tethering WORKS like a charm with Hp Touchpad.
pffft go figure !!!
edit:Hp touchpad cant see tether network of u8800's (aurora2.0) booting in webos also.if u8800 has official 2.3.5 tethering works fine in webos too...
Tether
I can currently tether my 3G Verizon Wireless connection to my Touchpad using PDANet Tablet and Foxifi (both free on market.)
This is via bluetooth, however it works fairly well and I can access most apps, etc (Market, Browsers, Youtube, etc.)
Hope this helps
thanks for your answer, i tried your way too but no good either...
honestly, keep trying it. it doesn't work together every time. It does take me a few tries to get it configured/ connected fully
Ok somewhat an obscure issue, and the fix that lets a VPN work over tether does not seem to fix it.
I first encountered this on I think 4.3 or 4.2 with my Galaxy Nexus prime. I would use a wifi hotspot, and all connections work fine except for when connecting my playstation Vita. It would say it could not login. So I do a connection test and everything is okay except the attempt to sign into playstation network.
I found maybe 2 other people with the same problem on different devices. I now own a rooted fire phone on 4.6.1. It too has this same problem. And it's believed by some that after 2.1 or 2.2 all native versions of wifi hotspot have this issue. I've tried treve mod, the vpn fix, and a handful of wifi hotspot apps with no luck. I don't know if these apps work as I could not establish even a normal connection through them.
I believe what I need is a kitkat compatible wifi app that doesn't rely on the native hotspot, or some way to modify it if anyone knows what's causing the blockage.
edit: To solve it on my old phone, I actually had to downgrade android to jellybean. I can't do that with this phone though.
Thanks for any help with this.
