Tether 2 phones together?

I know this seems almost pointless...But I have both the Diamond 2 on att, with an unlimited data plan, and the Droid Eris through a pre paid. I want to know if it is possible to use the "Wi-Fi Router" on the Diamond 2 to share internet with my Droid Eris?
Ive tried a few times, and I think it might have to do with the Diamond2 showing ps as IBSS ad hoc connection.
Is there another way? or is it even possible to begin with?
The reason is just so that if I run out of data on the prepaid, I can connect to the Diamond2 if i really need to if im not near a wifi spot.

I dunno if this helps but I tethered my xperia to my blackberry by using the blackberry as a "bluetooth modem". I'm not sure if theres such a setting in android (probably)
Take a look, see if it can be done without wifi

thanks, but im trying to connect through my Diamond 2 and unfortunately android doesnt ask me what services I want to use when they are paired.

Android does not connect to ad-hoc connections out of the box. You need to root your Eris. But as far as I can tell, no one has figured out to root it yet.

I'm trying the same thing...
But my setup is attempting to use internet sharing or the WMWiFi application to share internet to the bluetooth of a Samsung Propel Pro to the bluetooth of an older Samsung Blackjack with no sim card. Just to get the older BJ to see the internet, but I can't see to get Bluetooth PAN working on the setup.
Is this possible to do? What am I missing?

anyone got an idea. this would be a cool trick to do. Cheapest VOIP Cheapest VOIP calls

i know that if u can put both connection to ur pc from wifi with both or to wifi with on and usb with the other. in network connections u can "bridge" the connection

Easy tether to a transformer?

can it be done? I have the paid app, but it doesnt seem to be recognizing my droid x. Even when easy tether is activated.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium

You can't usb tether from android to android

if you have a rom that supports wifi hotspot you can u use that to tether to your transformer. I do it with my g2x all the time.

im using barnacle on my tbolt to connect to wifi on my TF right now...

Easytether is for usb tethering. The OP is trying to tether from 1 Android device to another Android device with a usb cable not wifi. At this time it is not possible.

No, I don't think so. I had one app which had to be installed on phone and tab and was able to tether over bluetooth but it was very very unstable and never worked longer than 10 seconds.
Here is my setup:
SGS (i9000) with darkyrom and build in wifi tether + tasker app for automatically switch on and off wifi tether when a specific bluetooth device is connected.
I use my tab in the car and when i start it, the bluetooth connection from phone to the hands-free is established and wifi tethering enabled with tasker automatically. this takes less power and has the full internet speed. works great for me!

I think that is exactly what I am looking for. I want use TF with internet connection when there is no wifi around. So phone provide internet connection to TF. Understood true?

I teathered my TF to my friends Droid X thru bluetooth and I was able to surf the inet using his Verizon account.

You can tether over bluetooth (The instructions are around here somewhere)

I use PDA Net connected over bluetooth to my Droid Incredible. I have the paid for version, but the free version should work too. Paid version lets you get into https sites and VPN's. I don't use a lot now since through work I have a MiFi from AT&T, but sometimes I get into GSM deadspots where my CDMA (Verizon) phone works just fine.

You can also use Wireless tether which is free :

Support bluetooth and Wifi. Works great !

PDAnet for tablet works if all you do is use browser

Tethering via bluetooth

hello,
im having problem tethering my gtab connection to phone using bluetooth. pairing works as expected, but when i see on phone, gtab dont have tethering capability in bluetooth
do you guys have same problem?

No, It is the other way around. I've used my GTab tethered over BT from my old WM phone without problem. What phone do you have? Most Samsung Android phones don't have BT PAN service (the service required for BT tethering).
EDIT: are you try to use cell connection from phone or you try to use cell connection from GTab. What I have done is to connect my wi-fi GTab to my phone's 3G connection. Not sure the other way around.

Most HTC phones also do not have it - motorola phones seem to have it (droid X for sure)

Lg optimus v and acer iconia wifi tethering

Hello XDA Forum Members,
First of thanks to all you guys that take their time and help us to fix problems or let us understand things clearly about Android.
My question is that I just bought Acer Iconia A500 and love it and I was expecting to use my LG Optimus V wifi tethering (I can use the wifi tethering easily to my laptop using wireless tether app). I cannot seem to connect it to my Acer tablet. I used PDA Net app for tablets and others wifi tethering app using Bluetooth but the problem comes to only one thing. When I try to connect bluetooth to my Acer tablet, I seem to pair it easily but on both end i.e. on my phone as well as Acer tablet I get a message "Paired but not connected". I also cannot seem to see any proxy settings in Acer tablet settings so that I can tweak it plus after pairing I cannot seem to see Internet Connection in Bluetooth Profile section to connect to internet. But on the other hand I can flawlessly (with out any problem) use my Virgin Mobile LG Optimus internet to my laptop.
I tried everything but unsuccessful and here I am asking you guys to help me.
I am pretty sure you guys out there smarter than me to give me a simple solution.
Thanks
Nick

I have no idea about using bluetooth to tether so I cant help you there. But what happens when you try and tether over wifi?

I've got an Optimus V running CM7 and I'm able to wirelessly tether perfectly via wifi using QuickSettings off the marketplace. I've been doing it with my A500 or my old CM7 Nook Color for a good 4 or 5 months now.
Once you get your mobile hotspot set up, you literally open the app and hit a button to turn on the tethering. It's really easy.

Wireless Bluetooth Tethring to Nexus 7. How ?

I bought the nexus 7 and still waiting for it to arrive. Sold my NOTE to get this. The reasons were 1) Pure Google Exerience 2) Quad-Core Tegra 3/Bigger screen. I am not much into voice calling (typical nerd) and prefer to communicate over the web.
Although I do have wifi at home for primary usage, I am just wondering can I use wireless Bluetooth tethring to access the web on N7 on secondary basis?
I currently have nokia X2-02 with unlimited internet access and not sure if its good enough for the purpose. Do not want to spend on another phone, just to get wifi tethering.

I don't know about the Nokia and its tethering capabilities. But I tether my HOX to my N7 and I have to say, tethering it to the N7 makes browsing much faster than browsing directly from the HOX (If you get that) I don't know how, but this N7 is epic.
Plus its like 3 clicks and your tethered and on the internet.
So yes, tethering to the N7 is simple and brilliant, as long as you have a device capable of outputting it to the N7.
To answer the HOW - Find your tethering on your phone/device your using the connection from, do anything necessary to set it up, such as the WPA password etc once you've created the hotspot their, your N7 will see it as a wireless connection (wifi) connect it and your all set.

Errr...Thanks for the reply bro but I know how wifi tethring works but right now I don't have any device capable of wifi tethring and just wondering if I can get the bluetooth tethring to work somehow. So its like I want to use my phone data connection on my N7, wirelessly via bluetooth.

I have Bluetooth tethering working with my Sony Xperia S.
The Nexus 7 is capable, it's really just the question whether your phone is.
The good thing about BT tethering is that it uses much less power than a WiFi hotspot.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Ok just to update everyone who is interested, as long as the mobile device supports DUN Bluetooth profile, the N7 can connect to the device and thus you can use the internet. I was able to use my nokia phone to tether my 3G connection via bluetooth. Just pair the devices and check the option on the N7 to use the other device as internet source.
