Hey guys,
So I decided to get the motorola atrix. So far so good. I want to tether my phone to the asus eepad transformer by bluetooth. What program or app do I need from the market which will enable me to pair the two together? Or is there some other method? Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Btw, the phone is not rooted.
The Barnacle app in the Market does pretty good. I think that there are probably better ways, but it's easy, somewhat reliable, and it works for me and my Acer A500 as well as our Nook Color.

The Market won't let these install on my Atrix. Saying that "this item is not available on your carrier".
I use PdaNet to tether my iPad to the Atrix using iBluever, so my iPad can use the Atrix's data.

Turn on airplane mode, then use wifi to access the market

Or use market enabler.
Do the apps mentioned above require root? I cant seem to make them work.

"Wireless Tether" works, its not hard to find that app.
Wired tether works without an app, just go to settings > wireless and networks > tethering.

I'm pretty sure 2.0.5 pre14 should work fine?
http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...name=wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre14.apk&can=2&q=
There is no solution for infer-structure tethering on Froyo yet..unless someone modifies the MobileAP app to make it work with Froyo..the person who made it work for 2.1 will not do updates for leaked builds...
I can confirm that the latest wireless tether (pre14) works fine on DK17
I can also confirm that Wireless Tether for Root Users 2.0.5-pre14 works on my Epic running Epic Experience 2.0.0.01 (DK17) where Wireless Tether for Root Users 2.0.2 (the one available in the app market) did not before.

Wired tether...is that the sprint tether? Like will it go on my bill? or does it bypass sprint
Has anyone had any luck getting Barnacle or Google's wifi-tether going on the i400?
Goods question. I'm curious for the answer.

That works if you root download the latest beta
Easy tether also works without root, but it's not a wireless tether.
Trailblazer101, I'll give the latest beta a shot. Thanks.

Worked fine!
Update (about 3 days late)
After flashing my GPAD to Vegan, I did get ad-hoc to work through the tether app installed on the continuum (for the newbies like myself: Android has adhoc connecting disabled by default, so you have to use -- from what I can tell -- a custom ROM to connect to an adhoc wireless connection).
The Continuum only needed to be rooted so tethering could be installed.
Trying to root my Continuum. Tried the one click but it just locked up my phone. Pulled battery, do I do it again?
I'm totally new on the androids.
suggestions?

Yes that is what I was referring to :-/
As of right now, you cannot root... I was previously rooted, but the update made it go away T_T. Bubby323 is getting a continuum for a little bit and should have it updated soon
I bought my Continuum yesterday, the 22nd. An update was immediately applied. Spent hours trying to root. Z4root (my go-to) wouldn't work after countless attempts. Gave up on an update.zip recovery. SUPERONECLICK is exactly how I was finally able to root...

anyone get wifi tether to work with froyo update?
ive been using wireless tether 3.0 beta without a problem just select sasmsung fascinate then enable softap mode.
works thanks
I'm currently using Open Garden. It seems to be working great so far. I actually paid for the full version of EasyTether, and there's problems with the Continuum and EasyTether. Evidentially, USB debugging times out after a while. It's no biggie though, for me, because using a wifi tether app is so much simpler.
The new beta from Google works the best because you can enable softap mode so linux and playstations will pick it up. Open garden, barnacle, the wireless tether from the market just use adhoc frequincies so not everything will pick it up.

Ahh... I was not aware of that. Thanks for that info!
The Google beta app works, but my primary problem with it is the fact that it turns off BT every time I tether. I'll be using Open Garden until a newer version is released that doesn't affect my BT connection.
I'm still on 2.1, but I rooted my phone using the one click root method. I downloaded the Wireless Tether app from the Marketplace, but I can never get the phone never sets itself up as a hotspot using that app. What am I doing wrong? No, I don't pay the $30 for the hotspot option from Sprint. Is that the problem?
To use Wireless Tether, you may need a custom kernel for it to work (not sure though)... Although, if you are still on the stock rom, I would suggest flashing MobileAP through CWM instead (LINK)
I use Wireless Tether and I'm rooted stock. Is the app giving error messages?

No, no error messages. I try to tether my iPad to my phone, but the hotspot never shows up. No data is ever transferred or uploaded.
As I don't know, does the iPad support connecting to ad hoc networks? If not, try installing MobileAP, which supports infrastructure mode (link in previous post).
Try downloading the wireless tether app from the google code page instead of the one from the market. There is a specific version for the Epic. Don't think the market one works correctly.

+1 to this, you may want to try searching "wireless tether" in the Epic forums. I recall in a few threads this was mentioned with specific version #s.

I have tried multiple roms on my phone, both if tiamats kernals on the XOOM and can't for the life of me get the xoom to see my wifi connection being broadcast by my droid incredible. I have verified that it is working by connecting my laptop to my d-inc so for some reason the Xoom won't see it. Anyone get this working, how? I ahve also tried BT pan and that won't work either.
Cyanogen 6.1 stable with my Inc and I have tethered WiFi fine. I set up with WPA2 security. Nothing special.
RE:
I have used tethering with IHFTP69's Skyraider rom and it works just fine.
Thats the main reason that I didn't get a data plan with my xoom is cuz I got the D-INC.
LOVE IT =D
Thanks for the feedback. I guess I'll change roms and give it a shot. Are you using the Wifi-Tether app pre11?
i have been able to use the wifi tether, however, I have not been able to get a Bluetooth tether going. My work shouts down rogue APs, so indeed to be able to use the Bluetooth coonection... anyone been able get this going as well?

Your issue is the Wireless Tether App, not your ROM. The Wireless Tether App from the Market uses Ad-Hoc mode, not infrastructure mode. Use the built in android tether or the newest Wireless Tether Beta, which I think uses the proper WiFi mode.
Cyanogen 7 stable stock tether works great. Bluetooth is another story, I would also love to get BT tether working with the dinc
the latest wireless tether has infrastructure so give it a try

So you are saying that Pre11 works with your Incredible and CM7? Is your Xoom rooted? Does it have the stock kernel?
I am using 3.0 -pre4 experimental. It works great with xoom.

What phone do you have and what rom. Also is your XOOM rooted? If so what kernel is it running, stock, tiamet, brushdog?
I am using my unrooted Dinc to wifi-tether my Xoom just fine, and I am not paying for the tethering fee. I am using the stock tethering app that came out with froyo.
Is there a way to have our Xoom connect to the wireless tether ad-hoc instead of having to uses native 3G mobile hot spot app on fascinate. I know when I had the galaxy tab someone made a wpa.supplicant (think that's how it was spelled) file to put somewhere in /system/? So it could connect to phones using wireless tether.

Only if your Xoom is Rooted can you connect to Ad Hoc after a minor hack.
Root your phone and use wireless tether 3.0

As everyone else as said before, the only way right now is through rooting.
Root your phone. It's easier and you can share with things other than your xoom then.

Have any of you been able to connect to an ad-hoc connection with a xoom? Most of the connections have been made through handsets that do not use ad hoc mode.

What "minor hack"?????
His phone is rooted already if hes already using the Wireless Tether App from the market.
He just needs to install the newest beta which has infrastructure mode instead of Ad-Hoc, and the Xoom will identify it without any hacks on the Xoom.

Thanks for the input, but these apps are phone specific. I'm well aware of the wireless tether apps, both for root and the experimental 3.0. I've tried just about everything out there and can't get the Xoom to see my CDMA Hero running AOSP 2.3.3. Even the bluetooth tether will not connect. My laptop sees it fine, my Xoom sees an EVO that uses wireless tether. I'm afraid I may have to ditch the old Hero...
You have used 3.0 pre 4¿ that's what works for me
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
Thanks again, pre 4 errors out. It does not support cdma hero. I'll b looking into settings on the Xoom now.
