Is there a way to bluetooth the TP and my PC so that I can get internet on the TP from the PC?

Not that I know of but if your PC is connected to the internet via Ethernet and has wireless capabilities there is an app called connectify that can turn your PC into a wireless hot spot .

I haven't played with it, but if bluetooth is fully functional and you have bluetooth on your PC, it should be doable. I have done the reverse with my Droid3. Maybe the mobile devices don't have the "host" piece and unfortunately I can't say for certain, but hopefully someone else can chime in and confirm or deny my thoughts. If nobody else can provide info, I'll play tomorrow and see what I can come up with.
Edit: I may be wrong. Based on the screenshots from this thread, it doesn't look like the networking profile is an option.

Had read the post, think the guy wanted to stream music from his PC to his Tablet.

That's a shame does that mean that you would not be able to turn on wi-fi hotspot with an android phone also , don't forget the range would be relatively limited .

Use Bluetooth tethering... there is an option for internet sharing via Bluetooth

Yes that is correct

how to dlna in the tab

Just don't know how to enable it with my htc sensation? Thanks.
anyone has the answer? Thanks.
You need to put more information into the OP. What exactly would you like to do? What have you tried so far that hasn't worked?

skifta (beta) will act as a server and client. Both devices must be connected to a wifi network and it will not work if you are using the phone itself as the wifi access point.

seems like DLNA is really a software related.
For any device support wifi, it should be possible to support dlna by adding a protocol layer?

DLNA not working?

I am new to the DLNA. I have a PS3, a Google Revue, and a Samsung DLNA-compliant TV. However, I'm not sure how to stream media to those devices. I have used the Connected Media app, but nothing shows up on the EVO 3D nor the other devices. I read that other people talked about the Share Media app, but I couldn't find it on my phone. Did I do anything wrong?
UPDATE: Finally got it to work. It's really the problem of the wireless bridge. If I have the devices on the same router/access point, it works! Thanks for the tip.
I am having the same problem. The only way I can make my homenetwork connect to eachother is to reset my router. But after a day or two the connection is gone unless I reset my router again. So I am guess the automatic IP assining conflicts causing the problem.
can you give me more information about your setup, like which devices are you using?
I have a ASUS RT-N13U router with WPA2 security.
The app is called media share and it is a default program on stock. You just have to start it, select what you want to share and go to the other device and it should automatically see it.

I don't have Media Share on my stock Rogers ROM, not sure why they removed it. I read everywhere that people were talking about this Media Share app, but I don't know if there is any way to download it elsewhere. Is it an Android stock or HTC stock app?

I think it is HTC stock. I will see if I can extract the apk.

Stupid question, but you do have you phone connected to the same Wireless router as the devices you are trying to send the media to? My Sony just shows up in the Connected Media app. And I click on it and it streams right away, never had to do anything. If so, maybe it is a DCHP issue on your router. Try enabling DCHP.
Also, I do not think it is compatitable with PS3. I cannot do it that way, just my TV over WIFI.

The phone and the TV is technically on the same network, but not on the same router, since I am using a wireless bridge to bridge the 2 routers together. Not sure if that caused the problem? I'll try to connect them on the same router and restart the router to see if that helps.

Is there an app for android like connectify?

I need to do the same thing i do with connectify but in my phone, i connect to the web with my wifi and share internet with the same wifi adapter.
i been looking into it for a while and people keep on say that i need 2 widi adapter for it but is SO no true coz i have and use only 1... I don't wanna use bluetooth at all or connect it with usb.
If anybody knows of an app that does this magic please let me know.
Thanks.
Have you tried wifi tether?

@ Luculuc
Thanks for the reply.
I havent find a tethering app that let me share my wifi connection over the same wifi adapter.
I am not looking to share my data plan by the way, Connectify work as a wifi repeater, so you log in to a wifi and the software let you share that same connection any way you like even simultaneously over the same wifi adapter.
I'm sure you have good reasoning, but why don't you connect the other device directly to the same wifi your phone is connecting to? are you trying to use your phone as a range extender?
If that is all you are doing, seems to me to be a waste of a good device.
You could go to dd-wrt.com, find the list of supported routers, then buy a cheap router that is supported and then flash that firmware. Then set up as needed.
I have been using that for years, except in wireless bridge mode.

I know this thread is super old...
one reason i have is open routers that need a login after connection. I have yet to get a repeater to work with one of these networks but connectify works as you connect your computer say yes i accept and then start sharing it.

You mentioned that the WIFI Repeaters donot work with Open Networks. Are you talking about "Wireless Repeaters and Range Extenders"? such as this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SQvaGEKOxc
fqrouter2 is the solution
Use fqrouter2 for rooted Android devices and you have a perfectly working WiFi Repeater (available free in Google Play Store)

Hello npg500, I installed the app you suggested but i am not satisfoed with it.
fqrouter doesnot "externds the range" of the WIFI. it just routes the internet connection though the Android phone it runs on (possibly by the MITM), keeping the routed device on the same network as it was before. i installed fqrouter to increase the signal strength from my Basement wifi. but no success. it shows my PC in the Scan area. but as mentioned it doesn't extends the Range.
Anynody having any idea what App can serve that functionality? Or Am I doing something wrong somewhere?
Anyone can suggest how to work this wifi repeater or extender mode on S5?
fqrouter is saying wifi is not supported on S5 but it does have MITM
Hi guys i see you know sometging about this...basically my neighbours gave my wifi password i typed it on android and i taught to share the connection from phne to laptop..is that possible?

You can simply view the password from your phone and input it in your laptop. Or, except you are experimenting something.
Am I missing out something?

[Q] Internet Tethering PC->Phone via USB

Yup, you got it right. Due to slow 3G connection, it takes a long time to downloading anything at less than 5kb/s.
I know most people use Phone->PC, but I want the reverse. Transfer PC internet to Phone via USB, because I do not have a router.

It's possible but not by using USB....but using this program you can create an hot-spot and share your PC's line....

do you want to share your pc line with your phone?
Either via USB or Bluetooth, yes. I could also walk around and find a good wi-fi spot where I could download X apps at X speed, but if there is a way to do it home, even better.

so you can use this program: http://www.connectify.me/features/?refid=...
with it you can create easily a connection wich uses your LAN CABLE to connect your GS2 without bluethoot or USB!!! After you set the program in your PC go to your phone, turn on your wifi and the magic is made!!! you will find a new connection(the one you create with connectify program)!!:good:
TNX if i help you!!:laugh:

Dude. He said he doesn't have wifi on his PC. Connectify NEEDS some sort of wifi to create a hotspot.
OP, look up "reverse tether".

Perhaps your extensive technical experience can explain how a computer or network that does NOT have wifi can possibly create a hotspot while missing the requisite hardware to transmit a wifi signal.
Just use reverse tether. Simple

AirDroid = Wireless Web access and remote view

Have you tested AirDroid? I am in disbelief of what it can do. I think seeing is believing and suggest everyone have a look.

It's one of my must-have apps. Along with Unified Remote & TeamViewer. You might also want to check them out.
Tried it. It's a really cool idea, but ultimatively not useful to me. I realized that after I had it installed for a few days and, apart from the initial setup and testing, never reached for it.

Very nice app but it needs WiFi.
I'm usual to leave my Atrix in charge (via USB cable) during work but AirDroid needs always WiFi connection even if I'm already connected with cable.
I've used ADB.EXE (from Android SDK) to forward connection from PC-Host and Atrix-Android...in this way I can connect to AirDroid via "127.0.0.1ort" but if I shutdown WiFi the app closes all inbound connection EVEN localhost via USB cable!!! So I must leave WiFi connected all the day to use AirDroid.
Bad thing....
This is a network app, and it works exactly as intended. No point in complaining about something the app was never intended to do.

Well, if it didn't need WiFi, it wouldn't be called AirDroid now, would it? CableDroid, perhaps? Or maybe TetherDroid?

Even our Atrix was released with Froyo and after this with Gingerbread, but most of ppl wants to have ICS on a custom ROM.
So your argument is superfluous: most of ppl uses something in a way it wasn't intended to one similar use.

If you can make something work in a way it was not intended to work, that's cool, good for you. But don't expect it and don't complain if it doesn't happen. That is all.
