Just found an awesome APP in the market called Pdanet Tablet you install it on your phone then on your tablet and use bluetooth to get internet to your tablet via your android phone!!!!
It works pretty well on my Epic to my Transformer!
No Root needed (This will be for those of us who have not hacked our phones to send off Wifi already.)
Not working on my tab :\
Edit: I fixed it. reboot helped.
Awesome find, thanks! It's not quite working consistently for me, but I was hoping the PdaNet dev would make a version just like this. I'm sure he'll get it working reliably soon enough...
tethering off my nexus s, 2.3 hotspot w00t.
Anyone get this to work on Droid X, 2.3?
An update: after I installed this app, my TF Internet connectivity was completely hosed. It might be coincidental, although I doubt it. Essentially, I lost the ability to connect to a number of services via wifi, even after I uninstalled the app. Couldn't connect to Google properties, Tapatalk couldn't connect, etc. Absolutely miserable.
Only way to fix it was to do a factory reset. Multiple reboots and reconfigs of wifi settings did nothing.
Moral: be careful with this app.

I have not installed it yet in my tablet.
But I just read it from the market and they said you should remove the proxy setting after using it, otherwise the internet will not work anymore.
Not sure if they meant you will have to remove the proxy setting everytime you finished using it. That will be a hassle if we need to switch between wifi and BT every time.
works for me bluetooth tethering to my Droid Incredible. Havent tried it longer than 30 mins so I havent experienced any disconnects yet.
You do have to reset the proxy every time you use the app (set it to use it, disable it when your done). If you dont, wifi wont connect anymore (at least for me).
It is a little bit of a hassle, but i can live with it. At least the app gives you a shortcut to quickly change the setting.

Are you getting 4G speed off your Epic? I'm using wifi tether right now and only getting 3G speeds even if 4G is enabled, what kind of speeds are you getting?

That was probably my problem, thanks for pointing it out. Wish I'd seen this before doing the factory reset...

It's. Giving me a bad signal error
I'm on 3.1 and my phone(Droid 2) runs leaked gingerbread
Not sure why you need an app. I wifi tether with my Nexus S and it works fine. Just have 2gb package from ATT. They don't seem to care.
I got it installed, and everything went smoothly except I have no internet access via browser, or gmail.
Otherwise, this looks like a good app, easy to use.
I tried this PDANet for Tablet. The first beta release was buggy and there was a lot of disconnects with some debugging prompts.
Then I saw they updated it several days ago.
After updating it, its still not a smooth experience.
Got it connected to the phone, launch the browser and I could browse the web, but after 2-3 web pages, then it will stop working.
Email does not seem to work for me. Both GMail client and the native Email client, none works for me. Google Map seems to work.
But again, the connection dropped very frequently.
Hi,
Does anyone know of a solution for the TF101 when the phone you want to tether to is not an android device. I am still using my trusty HTC HD2, and it's WiFi hotspot is "ad hoc" and not seen by the TF, and its bluetooth creates a PAN, and rudely tells me that the TF needs a NAP.
Maybe I can use the "windows mobile version of PdaNet on the phone with the android tablet PdaNet client on the TF??
Wifi hot spot on G2x works perfect and I get 4g speed will post screen shot when I figure out how..
G2x power

Any way with stock ROM??
i tried this last night and couldnt get it to work with my rooted samsung galaxy s, so I just ended up doing the wpa method. Plus Prime 1.5 includes it now
im having really weird problems accessing and downloading from android market. when i am using my phone network i dont have any issues at all, but whenever i try to access it using wifi all my downloads fail.
it's only the market i have a problem with, otherwise i can browse the net and download as normal using wifi.
any idea what the problem can be? remember, its specific ONLY to the market place
*apologies, this should be in the S2 thread
Once got the same problem on Galaxy S. It disappeared automagically after one day.
ok, i managed to get it working, but only by making my wifi connection open. if i have any encryption on my router i cant access the market.
judging by the lack of replies, i guess no-one has a clue?
try it on someone else's router
Happened to me all the time using the old market. I installed the newer version and the problem went away.
Also the encryption on your router should make no difference, this is transparent to the app.

router isnt the problem.
just noticed that my version of the market is 2.3.6, so looks like there's been quite a few updates that i have been missing out on, downloading now and ill let you know if it solves the problem

Hi all, my Note cannot connect to Kies....which after I checked with the internet is a very conman problem for Galaxy. I still want to make it works and I have some questions if anyone can help....Thanks in advance!
1) I checked some web site that to connect with Kies in computer (mine is Win7 64 bits) that we should first go to the phone's Setting-->About phone-->USB connect-->connect with Kies....... However in my Note there is no such setting in About Phone and I checked all areas in Setting but there is no USB connect-->Kies....... where is it?
2) Although I cannot connect with Kies at my computer but I can still use MTP connection is that all with Note?
3) If I cannot connect with Kies do I still get update from Samsung? I noticed that in my phone setting--> about phone section, there is one are that can click in to check updates, so what should I do?
Thanks again everyone....
Kies will not connect to 7" Tab, Galaxy S or Galaxy Note on my 64bit Windows 7 Ultimate system. Have tried older versions, latest version, Repairing and numerous drivers as there are posts elsewhere of 64bit driver issues. Works fine in MTP mode and Kies Air.
Have no such problems on XP professional.
Glad I am not the only one but it seems to be a Kies problem rather than the phones/tablets.
Any help would be appreciated by those of us suffering!

The USB connection utilities are under Wireless and Networking, however chances are your Kies issue is because you have USB Debugging turned on.

No - it's off - as I said, it works fine with all three Samsungs on my XP Pro machine but not on Win7 64bit machine. However, ADB works fine on both machines so I'm pretty sure that it's a problem Kies has with a driver.

ah good to know win7 ult 64 doesn't support it, that explains a few things. But why isn't total commander copying and pasting to it. ?
My 7" tab can connect to kies running on a 64 bit win 7 ultimate and home basic without any issues.

My SGS connect on my 64bit Win7, not ultimate though. I can remember that it couldn't connect at first, I think I had to change the USB Settings. Give it a try

Am from Hong Kong....may be is the WIN 64 bit problem, I am using Win 7 professional not ultimate, and will continue test it, may be DL Kies from UK....
BTW what funny is that I send this problem to Samsung all they said is to reset the machine to factory default and try..... guess not much help....
Connected fine on my win7 64bit ultimate. Must be some other issue. Impressed with the functionality

I agree with post #8, had same problem, phone unlocked from UK, downloaded Kies from UK samsung site and no problems on Windows 7, 64 bit. Try download from different Samsung site.
are you using any other launcher? Tried on my wife's phone the other day (different phone). It only connects when the phone is in the Samsung Launcher with every apps closed.
64 bit fine. I had a similar issue until I saw one blog article that said "once USB debugging is off *kill all tasks*" - did that and it worked fine.
Have to say, the concept of Kies for firmware upgrades works really well (as a piece of consumer software) though, as a colleague said, you can see why they are in hot water with Apple - it's a direct rip of iTunes!

Yep, I hate both with a passion
Won't run at all !
Kies UK won't run at all. I immediately get "Kies has stopped working" The phone shows up fine in Explorer. I'm Windows 7 64 bit.
I tried :
Uninstall from Device Manager then reinstall.
Install as Administrator.
Uninstalled Windows Mobile Device Manage
I tired every Kies thread Google showed. 5 hours so far.

I got likewise. Think it was related to the USB drivers. Worth making sure USB debugging is off and the phone pops "MTP connection"* in the title bar prior to trying to run Kies.
My anti-virus also affected it. If you run, turn it off prior to installation - if you've already installed, turn it off and to a Repair (Change) from Add/Remove programs.
Win 7 Home Premium X64 plus UK Kies plus German Note = success for me. No drama, no hoops, no fiddling with antivirus or firewall settings. Easy peasy.
The only issue was needing to disable USB debugging on the phone, which was not made at all clear in the message issued by Kies.
Windows 7 64-bit home premium, no problems with this or the sgsii....

NO luck on my iMac
So i tried my laptop with windows 7, when i connected the Note it had to update several things. That took a while, and i ahd an update from Kies. After all that it said immediately that there was an update for my Note with a few improvements. I bought mine in The Hague in The Netherlands, but it is a German version. He is stil busy as we speak, at 99%
It started working for me on win7 64bit after I unchecked USB debugging under applications-->USB debugging. If memory serves I had the same problem on SGS.
So I just got this tab for my mother and did the OTA update to 3.2 (heard ICS in July/August). I've been having issues with the Kies recognizing the tablet. I've enabled USB Debugging, but can't seem to find the option to connect as USB device (instead of MTB). I'm running Windows 7 Pro (32 Bit) and I'm wondering is it worth trying to get Kies to work?
My mother isn't really going to bother with transferring photos/music etc so i'm not worried about that. just curious if there was any additional benefit. I plan on rooting the device for her after ICS comes out and then I can just initiate backups that way.
I had the same problems with Kies for some reason, neither the tab or S2 would be recognized but after some update to kies it works fine now. But I don't really use it to be honest and connect via KiesAir via wifi.
no don't bother just use airdroid, check the store. :laugh:

WELL, WHEN I BOUGHT MY P 6800, FOR 1 MONTHI COULDNT NEVER CONNECT TO KIES AND @ THAT TIME I THOUGHT IT WAS THE ONLY WAY TO SYNC W OUTLOOK.
AFTER SEARCHING EVERYWHERE, XDA INCLUDED, REALLY WORKING SOLUTIONS WERE NOT ON THE HORIZON. FINALLY I TRIED THE FREE APP MY PHONE EXPLORER AND ALL WORKED JUST FINE. 3 WEEKS AGO I UPDATED KIES FOR MY I9100 AND WONDER OVER WONDER: KIES CONNECTED TO MY P 6800 AS WELL. SO, WHAT I DONT GET: WHY A GIANT LIKE SAMSUNG IS NOT ABLE TO RELEASE A SIMPLE TOOL LIKE ITUNES?? WE GALAXY USER ALWAYS MUST WAIT, BOTHER OR STRUGGLE WITH OUR HIGHEND DEVICES...
Has anyone found or established and working wifi or usb tether on stock rooted rom? This is single handly the most important function that I require on my phone. I will probably be trading it in on the Nexus 5 this week, it doesn't look like we will see working hotspot anytime soon. If anyone has a working tether please share.

Are there any devs working on this?
Would be much appreciated!
I don't want to hijack your thread, but I was going to make a thread and I wondered if this was better suited to go with your post. Maybe you guys have encountered this and figured it out. Part of our problem is that no one really wants usb usally. They want wifi. But right now I'd be thrilled to have a good, stable usb tether for when I need it. The only way I've been able to keep it stable is by constant download, like setting something going in the background on Netflix, but that's not a real solution!
I have a few issues. This is USB tether and not WiFi.
I need to set up for occasional tethering and just planned on using USB tethering. I went to clockworkmod tethering and installed it on a Sprint variant LG G2(LS980). I am trying to get that working on two different computers. Computer 1 is an older laptop running Vista. Computer 2 is a new laptop running win8.
Computer 1 has the app installed and works. The issue is, if I stop downloading anything for just a few moments, it quits working. I then have to close out the app on the phone and then reopen it and it takes off just fine. I’d like to know how to make that a stable connection.
Computer 2 is more of the issue. First, the Win8 driver signature enforcement setting was disabled. The app was installed on the computer and there was tethering for a little bit. Long enough to try a page or two and then point the computer to speedtest, which was 16mbps down, which is great for where we are in the country. After the test there was a gap in downloading any information. It quit tethering and would never work again. It was believed it might be due to the wrong driver. The first one was taken directly from the LG page a week or two ago, LGMobileDriver_S50xxxx, so the app was relaunched and attempted to use the driver found on triple double u clockworkmod dot com/tether/drivers and is LGMobileDriver_S498xxx and that didn’t work.
In short, what do I do to get this to work? I’m at a bit of a loss. It should be easy.
Thanks.
