Has anyone been able to bluetooth tether their Xoom with an EVO. I am trying to figure this out without rooting my EVO.

I don't think its gonna work without you rooting it.
You can use the sprint mobile hotspot if you don't want to root or
get the wireless tether, if you do root.
My EVO's rooted and so I am tethering via WiFi.

so ive got an evo. and i use my wireless tethering quite often. and when the galaxy tab came out, i tried to tether it to my phone, and i couldnt get it to work. i have no interest in a 3g or 4g connection for a tablet, atleast not now. so does anyone have any idea if i will be able to piggyback the xoom off of my phone?

It should work the same as any other wireless device. My wife uses her IPAD off my evo all the time.
have you tried tethering a android device to another android tablet? i tried it with a hero and an evo. couldnt get either to work.

I have done it with other android phones ( ie someone sharing my internet) but never an android tablet.

Which did you tether to what. HTC EVO, being designed for tethering has the proper wifi drivers to offer full infrastructure mode tethering. Some other devices, maybe the Hero, originally not being designed for wifi-tethering, only offered a certain kind of tethering that didn't work with some devices. IIRC this was fixed in the freely available Android Wifi Tether app. So if you tried to share your EVO's connection with the Hero, that should have worked. The reverse maybe not so much.
I tethered my HTC EVO to a Viewsonic G-Tablet with no problem so I don't foresee a issue with the xoom.
i was using wifi tether on my evo to provide the galaxy tab with internet. couldnt get it to work. so we tried the wifi tether on my brothers hero, and that would not support it either. im crossing my fingers that the xoom will be able to.
Your wifi tether program might not be working, I had the htc evo 4g and tether to the ipad, laptop, galaxy tab without a problem.

are you using an app or the native tethering btw? theres a few apps that only offer ad hoc wifi which isnt really "meant" for internet. It more of a device to device type thing. while infrastructure is internet to device and thats what you want from your evo. i think i explained that right, i havent slept for like a day. i got too freakin excited about preorder i couldnt fall asleep lol
I had that problem initially with the Viewsonic G-Tablet and with my Kindle. Change the wifi channel in the tethering app to anything but what it is, and try again.
Wireless tether, I've been able to have other android phones and an iPhone see it. For some strange reason barnacle won't show up on a scan with other wifi phones. It's probably going into a different mode that laptops can see but some phones can't.

I think you are right. Android devices can't wifi connect to ad-hoc connections, thus tethering doesn't work. However, if you have hotspot capability on your phone it might be different. Or even different tethering programs that don't do ad hoc. Do these exist?
I could wireless tether the Viewsonic Gtab (pre and post root) to my Evo using Fresh Rom and the included wireless tether. Fast and stable
I'm using the wifi tether app for root users from the android market. And yes it works great with my netbook, work desktop, home desktop, and even my ps3. As well as supplying a connection for a buddies iPhone. But when trying to connect the galaxy tab... nothing. It didnt even recognize it. I guess we will see in a few days. Cause this "will be a dealbreaker ladies" (for those that watch 30 rock)

Hello, im trying to tether my galaxy tab running 3.1 using my Charge. My tab doesn't seem to find it? Works fine with my macbook though. I've tried with wireless tether and barnicle. Any help would be great!
I use pdanet tablet. It's specially made to tether your phone with your tab. Do some searches in the market.

Is you Charge rooted? My guess is probably, but Android does not support ad-hoc networks, so you have to change the wpa_supplicant file to have it be able to work becuase wireless tether broadcasts ad-hoc.

How is that done?
Not to rub salt into anyones wound, but my rooted Evo 4G with CyanogenMod works perfectly as a wifi hotspot for my Tab.
This alone makes rooting your Android phone so worth it.

Without root, you'll have no choice but to pay verizon $20 a month for it... even wireless tether apps from market require you to be rooted.

Get rooted. Don't pay more for something you already pay for

Before I installed CM7 I had the tether working on GB, but I had SBFed to froyo, rooted that and then installed a rooted GB, then I installed the TBH tether patch and presto! Working wifi tether... I'm on CM7 now so I have to use open garden from market, which works for me because my devices can connect to ad-hoc networks

Is there any good app to get wifi tether on the droid incredible without paying VZW a monthly fee? I installed any cut on a lg thrill and was able to get it working there, but tht doesnt seem to work for the incredible.. Im open to suggestions..

1. This should be in Q&A
2. Before you post, PLEASE use the search. There are many other threads like this
That said, try this. WIFI Tether for Root Users
Open Garden WiFi tether from the market also works nicely.

There's always the option of running a rom that has it preinstalled, such as CommunityRom, which has a hacked default hotspot, or CM7/MIUI, which have their own.
What OS are you on for your PC?

+1 on the WIFI Tether for Root Users as it supports infastructure mode instead of just adhoc.

Running Win7. Was finally able to connect after flashing a fresh CM7 nightly and using built in tethering. Though it took a few minutes to actually get internet access. I would prefer to use wifi tether, but just can't connect to it in infrastructure, only ad-hoc, even after I snagged an AP module from EVO system dump. It seems infrastructure mode on DInc is really hit or miss.

Have you tried PdaNET. That is what I use. It works great for me. I just used it on my trip I just took.
Just moved from an HTC Rezound to the EVO 4G. My Nexus 7 and Rezound are rooted running custom ROM's, the Rezound was S-Off.
New EVO 4G though, I would like to keep close to stock for warranty purposes. All I really need is wifi tether to work so I can give occasional internet access to my tablet. With VZW, I averaged 2-3gb a month max, between the phone and tablet combined. So my data usage is not heavy, but I do need to tether from time to time.
I searched and found several apps for tethering a laptop through a USB cable, but that won't work for the tablet.
So is there a simple and effective wifi tether app that I can sideload to the phone, even if there is a cost for the app? Or do I have to root to get the standard Google Wifi Tether app? If I have to root, I don't think I need S-Off and all sorts of stuff that could cause a warranty issue in the future. Whatever the absolute minimum required to get Wifi Tether will suffice.
Thanks!

I've heard you can tether via bluetooth with FoxFi, but I've never tried it myself. If all you want is to surf the web on your tablet that may be enough for you.
If you try it do let me know how it went.

The latest ota breaks foxfi. I think that root is my only option. What's the simplest method? I don't need s-off or custom Roms, just root for tethering.
Here you go. It's the HTCdev method (assuming you're on Hboot 2.18) which will give you an unlocked bootloader and root.

I'm still on 2.2. I had a bad experience rooting the first time, so I've been hesitant to flash a newer ROM. At some point I'll work up the courage and flash a 2.3 ROM. So the long and the short of it is: I won't be of much help. But look around the forum. Plenty of folks can help you.
