Hi Guys,
Little bleak that the eee pad doesn't have cellular access. I was wondering if it is possible to tether a blackberry 9700 to the transformer?
Then at least I can use google maps?
Thanks
Found your answer
Answer found here
lol, great answer there. I am actually not familiar with bluetooth tethering, but I do know that the next Blackberry OS update (6.1) will feature wifi hotspots. If you are running OS6 then the update will allow you to connect to the blackberry hotspot from your transformer and viola, problem solved. Not sure when OS6.1 is coming out though it should be in the next few months. If I get a transformer then I would be looking to tether my Torch to the tablet too.
I don't think the answer is as simple as searching google bud. Blackberry has some inherit problems connecting via bluetooth to android.
I'm one of those who is still struggling to connect my T-Former with my Blackberry 8520. I've visited the Blackberry support sites, done the google, still don't have a good clue. And yes, I've looked for how to enable DUN support on my blackberry.
Any ideas ?
Cheers,

Search this. There's a thread over 10 pages long about general Bluetooth tether, there's also a 4-5 page thread on just Blackberry tethering.
Has anyone got tethering working on Three UK? Been looking for some info for some time now but it seems ppl just get some sort of errors.
I've been searching for the same answer. I setup the tethering on my Omina 7 but can't connect as I don't have the three dial up number which all the guides seem to require.

And you have tryed used the software that comes with 3? I have used my own operator here in Sweden and that works.
hey guys, came across your thread, 3 does not support tethering on their network as they are waiting for the offical windows software to come out to do it, which i am annoyed about as i got this phone on the basis it can tether. however if you still want the number it is *99# to dial to and u do not require a username or password (worked on my blackberry 9700), I am currently downloading the verizon vzaccess software as this supposidly allows the omnia to tether so I shall see what that comes back with
Still not able to connect using this... Anybody had better luck?

This is for USB tethering.
Internet Sharing works perfectly, thankfully!
Has anyone here tethered their Sammy to an Android tablet? My google searches have come up snake-eyes.
Specifically I am looking at picking up the ASUS Transformer and it is WiFi only.
Thanks
Wonderin the same thing since im also on the hunt for a tf101 if the usb tether with the keyboard would work

None of you own a tablet??
The only way to tether those Android tablets is using Wi-Fi HotSpot feature. WP7 currently doesn't support wi-fi hotspot feature.
There is another tethering feature that can be hacked to support on a Focus but that's pretty much limited to dial-up modem type connections and I'm pretty sure Android tablet does not support such DUN type tethering through USB.

I was afraid of that I do use the hack to tether to my laptop using a dial up connection and it works great. Hoping maybe I could use bluetooth to tether with the tablet.
I appreciate the info.
Cheers!
Well... my persistence paid off
Simply refusing to cave to Rogers and spend more on my current plan, or buy another data stick, I tried a few different products and eventually solved my own problem.
Purchased the Aluratek 3G Portable Wireless USB Cellular Router, directly connected my Samsung Focus and popped in the APN settings provided by Aluratek support and BOOM... 3G Hotspot heaven.
The router is very compact and has a rechargeable battery. Packs very nicely in my Targus Netbook bag with the other accessories. Very cool!

Looks good. Where did you pick up the Aluratek in Toronto?

My wife and I are among the early adaptor for WP7. We've waiting for a way to tether since day 1. It's been 7 months, I think we need to move on. We are thinking, instead of getting 2 more phones, maybe we can hack our Focus into Android phones. Is there a project going on?
I just bought the lenovo s10-3t netbook with a touchsceen (windows 7). Ive seen on youtube and done some reading about it being hacked to run android... It'd be awesome if I could just tether the focus to it like I do in windows 7 although as there arent drivers for our phone for windows I dont see how thats possible correct?
Can some one walk me through how to tether to my HTC Thunderbolt? Thanks in advance.

Tether to or from your HTC Thunderbolt? What have you read about it?
Also are you stock or rooted on both devices
Im rooted on the thunderbolt, but not on the xoom. I know i have to do bluetooth tethering, but i dont know how to do that on my xoom or my laptop. I would like to be able to use both at the same time.

ok no problem but why didn't you just google this info... Not trying to be a hard ass but just so you know these forums are helpful but people like to see a little effort made to at least help themselves...
Now with that said what rom are you using on your Thunderbolt since my boy has one and BAMF I believe comes with android tether on it.. If not a quick google search for wifi tether - comes up with this
Now you download and install that to your phone and turn it on and it will act as a hotspot which you then connect your Xoom too.
Now second choice - a quick google search of tablet tethering brought up PDAnet - which is on the market and tells you how to set it up. Now there is a twist with them since bluetooth tethering is tricky and you have to restart your device to get it working after initially connecting and disconnecting.
Ok third choice for you laptop - Download PDAnet from there website for laptops and then download PDANet from Android Market, its different than PDANet Tablet
Hope that all helps and like I said for future reference probably any question you have has been asked already... hit up google first for your answer before posting in here... No disrespect just trying to help
Edit: That version of Wifi tether also uses Bluetooth tethering... but you must turn on bluetooth tether first prior to pairing devices...
i did google it

ok well I hope my answers help you... I have an Evo so its basically the same phone... I have laid out the steps for you too try... Wifi tethering is quite easy... If I may ask I know sometimes you search the wrong thing and its frustrating but what did you enter to find out how to tether you phone to your Xoom...
http://tinyurl.com/3br93db - check out the link and the very first result
Good luck
My laptop will connect to the phone, but the wifi xoom wont find it. Something to do with the xoom wont reconize an ad hoc network? But the link you posted for the android tethering worked. Thanks

Tethering to the Xoom on an ad-hoc requires you to root and then replace some system files on the Xoom.
I have never had a problem connecting to my Thunderbolt (CM7, stock kernel) with my Xoom over WiFi, rooted or when it was stock. If you have CM7 just turn on tethering in the CM settings menu and you're good to go, if not, then this info is probably useless.
Hi everyone,
I'm about to purchase Nexus 7 in a couple of days but I need to confirm if my phone can tether with google tablet.
The phone I'm going to be using is a blackberry device and I was able to tether it with RIM's playbook before. Here is the link to the product page: http://ca.blackberry.com/smartphones/blackberry-bold-9790.html
I never tried to tether blackberry to ipad before.... I don't even know if other devices accommodate blackberry for tethering.
Can somebody please confirm if this is possible with Nexus and my blackberry? Is it going to be easy connectivity or do I need to root and stuff...??? I really need an answer as bestbuy folks in my area weren't very knowledgeable about this.
Thank you in advance for your help.
This isn't a confirmation, since I don't have a Blackberry, but it might still be helpful -- I believe the answer will be "Yes, but you have to download and install PDAnet Tablet on the tablet and use it to connect." It is free, and not the same as the PDAnet for tethering.
The Bold 9790 supports bluetooth DUN, and PDAnet Tablet listed Blackberry as an option when I used it to connect to my Android phone.

If you're talking about blackberry bridge forget about it... if your BlackBerry device supports BlackBerry 7 you can turn on the hotspot feature and then tether via wifi assuming your data plan supports the feature.
