Hey everyone.
I want to use my Droid Charge to bluetooth tether to my transformer. I use pdanet tablet now which works, but has a few downfalls that I would like to go around.
My charge is rooted, and the kernel has "CONFIG_BT_BNEP" in it, which as I understand should make the internet connect option available in a regular bluetooth link. Unfortunately, it does not have the connect option. Any ideas why or what else is needed?

I was wondering if this is possible. I've heard of people using ICS Control to turn it into a hotspot, but I no longer have a working WiFi card. I just got a new computer with Windows 7 and all I can do is use the built-in Internet Connection Sharing that comes with WinMo until I get a long ethernet cable to wire from my router to my room.
So I was wondering if it's possible to use the phone's ability to receive WiFi to share that connection with the computer. I'm sure there's some way for it to be done. Any suggestions?
I have the same question
same situation here.
After some searching, I've found a program called "Serialtunnel" and "wmtunnel" that is supposed to do just that, however I cannot find any working download link...
Let me know if you find anything.

Will work as wifi to usb, making your phone a WIFI usb adapter. I use it with my desktop when hooked to my TV in the livingroom, rather than a 35 foot cord.
Its as simple as= plug in phone, start Wmwifirouter , touch wifi to usb button.
Battery charges while working so it doesn't kill it.
phone's ability to receive WiFi to share that connection with the computer can only be obtained if your phone allows to do so. check out the official site of your phone developrs. there will definitly be some considerations about this
Two solutions
Found two programs that do just this, both work on Windows Mobile (and unfortunately not on Symbian), but are supposed to do just what you're looking for.
ICS Control
Serial Tunnel
IF anyone figures out how to get this (converted) to run on a Symbian device... Thanks.
Anyone?
Bumping to re-ask question.

I'm looking for a program that can "Wifi to USB" on a symbian (Nokia) phone.
In other words, I want to use my phone as a wireless adapter for an old pc without wifi.
would prob get more luck asking in a symbian forum
So I have to pick between the Sprint HTC EVO and the Verizon Droid X. I love ROMs and all, but the only thing I NEED is to be able to USB teether without installing anything else on the computer I am using. They are generally locked down and do not allow installs to run. This being said, Which would you choose? I do not need the teether ability right away, but would need it sooner than later. Go with the DX or the Evo? Seeing as the DX is getting Froyo this month, I am leaning towards it, but how far away is USB teethering?
use pdanet and any android phone can usb tether out of the box. without root.
The only problem with that is there are quite a few of the PC's I work on that are locked down and I can not install PDAnet on the PC end. With built in USB teether, I just have to make a setting on the phone, then hook it up and the PC sees it as a WAN. Shane.
Have you checked out the bluetooth tethering options? They sell a tiny little USB gadget at Staples or Best Buy that will give the PC bluetooth, then there is some hack or something on these forums that will enable you to bluetooth tether the interwebz.
I'd love to be able to post the links I have for you but the mods won't let me....sorry... but it is possible.
Search this same forum for bluetooth tethering, then Google targus bluetooth USB

The OP said that he can't install anything on his computer, which is required to be able to use PDAnet.
It is likely that the OP knows this already, but tethering without downloading anything onto a computer is possible now that the X has been rooted.
I sure do Now...can it USB teether? Or only through BlueTooth? or is that only in FroYo.
Wireless Tether for root users. It's an app you can use once you root your X to creat a wifi hotspot, without being charge by Verizon.
I was wondering if anyone has successfully been able to get their Honeycomb and/or Acer A500 to connect online with either a usb connection or with bluetooth?
I have a blackberry 8520 which i've installed pdanet on and as far as i know got it successfully running.
I was able to then pair the A500 up with the BB, but it said that it wasn't connected to the BB.
Is there an app that i should download and install on the tablet? I do have gingerbreak installed on here and this is rooted.
Thanks
Did you google that to see if usb is even possible.
PS - A5000 yours must be the model up from mine
I have been trying to Google it. From what I've seen, people have been able to connect via USB through their Android phones, by setting up an ad-hoc.
I've tried using the mini usb, but had no luck. And bluetooth pairs but doesn't connect.
I have been able to tether mine to my Samsung Galaxy and get the internet that way. I take it you can't do this with your BlackBerry. With regards to Bluetooth, I had a similar problem where it was paired with my phone but not connected. I noticed that if I sent a file from one to another it would then ask to connect and you had to give permission.
EDIT:
I don't know if this helps.

Happy new owner of TF and dock...Got bluetooth tether working, but knowing how fast BT drains a Droid X battery, and thinking bluetooth might be slower than usb, wondered if I could tether using the dock usb? Can it be done, and are there real advantages?
Sorry if I missed where this has been discussed before..
Also, seem like the TF is running a little slow, and there is quite a dock keyboard lag...Any suggestions? Thanks

well connecting the traditional way via USB doesn't work so someone would have to give us a pointer about how to take the next step I would rather tether via USB as well.
I can't seem to connect to my stock my PC (via PDANet using bluetooth DUN) or my Lenovo K1 tablet (when I click on the wrench there are no profiles) to my stock Fascinate. Does the phone lack the right profile to allow tethering via bluetooth?
USB tethering seems to work well using a modified version of Azilink, which is what I've been using to tether my PC, but I'd like to find a way to tether from my tablet...
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Hi... I manage to connect my K1 to my Nokia C2-01 bluetooth and using its 3G network for internet access...
but you will have to root your android...
1. root your android from here: rootzwiki.com/topic/13407-romhc321-ideapad-k1-rooted-cwm-14-14-120109-us-build
2. go to market and install nc color bluetooth tether here: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=earlmagnus.nctether&hl=en
3. pair your phone to your tablet...it will show in setting pair but not connected, ignore it.
reboot your tablet and click on the nc color widget, it will request for superuser access, grant it and you are good to go, if still cannot, reboot your tablet again.
it works on my configuration, I hope it works on yours... try it.
