hello everybody. Yesterday i've bought the new A100 without 3G, and I'm trying to connect it trough bluetooth with my Windows mobile phone. Obviously when I run the Sharing connectivity program on windows trough Bt nothing happens on the tab. I know there are some tethering app for android. There's something similar for Wmobile??
I've found the solution:
-installed WMWiFiRouter on Diamond
-rooted and added ad-hoc patch on the A100
i've rooted with this guide
androidforums.com/iconia-tab-a100-all-things-root/401598-rooting-a100.html
and added ad-hoc with this one:
batista70phone.com/2011/05/supporto-per-reti-ad-hoc-su-acer-iconia-a500/ (is in italian, if you need english tell me, I can translate it)
To avoid problems open the page from the tablet and copy/paste the commands, and remeber to SWITCH OFF WIFI AS SOON AS POSSIBLE before playing with the wifi files!!
Everything works. You have only to start WMWiFiRouter on diamond and than looking in the wifi list on tablet for the wireless just created ( Office Lan....etc ).
For convenience activate the "wifi always on" also if "display is off" trough Diamond Tweaks.
I hope this can be useful for someone else ;-)

Hi, im in need of some assistance. I have a new android device, the Archos 5IT. my phone is the Tilt 2. i have been unable to get my tilt 2 tethered to it thru wifi. reason being that the xda wifi router app uses adhoc mode. the archos will only see Infrastructure connections. Someone on the archos forum said the HD2 has built in a wifi tethering app that is infrastructure mode. Can someone plz direct me to that app or another wifi tethering app that uses Infrastructure mode only? also, free apps...lol thnkx in advance i figure if i download that app, ill be good, and wont have to take this device back. plus its giving me probs trying to connect thru bt also. lol FIGURES
If you can't find a free one, I recommend WMWifiRouter (v2 and above). It lets you connect multiple devices via Wifi (infrastructure style) and Bluetooth, as well as work as a USB modem and a USB Wifi dongle.
If you have Omarket installed, just download "Mobile Wi-Fi Router." It works GREAT!
Sorry about reviving an old thread. I've been searching and trying to find this exact solution, but neither of the ones listed here are doing "Infrastructure" mode. I'm currently testing WMWifiRouter (v2.0 - build 1502, downloaded directly from their site today) and when I set up the wifi connection, it only gives an option for Ad-Hoc (or none - which is for connecting to another access-point).
Am I missing something with WMWifiRouter, or is there any other app at all that will do Infrastructure mode? I don't mind having to buy something, I just need it working.
Thanks!

Sorry if I am not clear with your issues above.
But, Winmo 6.5 in HD2, has a native wifi tethering application.
There is an option menu (in Comm Manager) to turn on the Wifi Router.
This will make your HD2 as an Access Point. It can accept 5 devices.
Cheers..
Yes but only in adhoc mode, not in infrastructure mode, which appears to be needed for connecting some devices like psp and my new HTC flyer!
Same problem with GT 10.1 and HTC HD2
I have the wifi router program but it's not working with my galaxy tab 10.1, how can i tell if its adhoc or infrastructure signal?

Hi, I am researching this as well, and here is what I have found so far.
1. Android does not currently support/connect to ad-hoc WiFi, only Infrastructure mode.
2. If your Android tablet device can not see the WiFi from your phone hotspot but a PC Can, then it is probably ad-hoc, as my WinMo HTC HD2 is.
3. I have an Asus Transformer tablet with Android 3.1 and this can not see my WiFi from the WiFi hotspot settings, but my PC can see it and connect to the HD2.
4. If there is an Android ROM for your phone, (XDA Forums) that will run from the SD card, you can boot into that and use the WiFi hotspot (Tethering) from the Android ROM. This seems to work fine on my setup.
Hope this helps
really would rather not root if at all possible
since i live in fear of ending up with a very expensive brick (by messing up rooting my xoom) - has anyone come up with a way to make the winmo htc hd2 send out an infrastructure wifi signal?

Simple answer is no. Winmo 6.5 will not do infrastructure wifi hotspot, no matter whether native Winmo app or a 3rd party app (i.e., WMWifirouter). You're going to have to do what I'm doing with my HD2. Go thru the learning process of installing an Android build on your SD card, and then boot into Android. You've very little risk of bricking the HD2 if you read carefully and follow the guides. [However, these guides are definitely written by geeks, not editors who write and re-write to be explicitly clear.] Supposedly, the Android Wifi router is infrastructure, but I've not yet gotten to that point in my own process. The first one I tried to install (AmeriCanAndroid) didn't complete booting up successfully, so I tried another Android build (MIUI), but in it I'm not finding a wifi tethering app. And, in it, the Market app is crashing. So, I'm now on the search for a 3rd Android build. The payoff is big (wifi tethering to my Viewpad 7 tablet), so I persevere. Good luck to you on your journey.
I can't seem to get my Tab to recognize the WEP WiFi internet sharing network that is on my Tilt2 (Rhodium) WMPPC. My netbook, my two full-sized notebooks, and my desktop all can simultaneously connect to the WM phone (in fact I am right now on this netbook to post this), but for whatever reason the Galaxy Tab can't even find the WEP network my WM phone is generating much less connect to it.
The entire reason I bought the Tab was to connect to my WM phone like the phone was a mobile wireless router. ???
Anyone had this issue? I'm sure a number of you came from a WM phone and used wifi router feature. And the Tab looks like it supports WEP networks and encryption.
Update: installing a warlogger style applet on the Tab called "Wifi Tracker" finds the WM-generated WEP nework. So is it Samsuing's native wifi setup that blows?
It finds my WM network as [WEP][IBSS].

I know this doesn't help you one iota, but for what it's worth, my Tab can pick up HTC Desire as a mobile Hotspot without issue. I normally use WPA2, but I just tried using WEP and I had no problems either.
So, I don't think there's anything intrinsically "wrong" with the Tab, though I have a Euro Tab running the very latest JMA firmware which may be significant.
If I had an WinMo phone to test with, I'd give it a go, but I don't, so I can't!
I presume that your WinMo phone is created a proper access point, and not an adhoc (point-to-point) network?
EDIT: Ok, just googled and found that IBSS means it is an ad-hoc network, and not an access point which means that "out of the box" Android devices can't attach to it.
This thread may help you.

So I have searched high and low and haven't had any luck finding any information about tethering the TF to a WM6.5 device. I am currently using a stock Touch Pro 2. When I pair the two devices together, under the BT settings on the TF there are no profiles listed. When I try to set up a network with the phone using "Share Internet Connection," I get the error message saying "Failed to establish internet sharing connection to remote device as it supports only Network Access Point (NAP) mode."
If anybody could shed some light on how I could actually get the the TF to tether with my phone, that would be greatly appreciated!
I have a Tilt2 running energy rom, normally i'd run wifi-router then all is well.
Apparently the Transformer doesn't accept AD-HOC and idk when it will be supported. The only way i can tether through wifi was to install FRX06 android.
Here's a link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=951962
Once you get to run android on your TP2 go to Settings -> Wireless and Networks -> Tethering & portable hotspot -> check the portable wi-fi hotspot box. You may add a passcode if you want but it will be defaulted to Open.
I've tried it and it works! Good luck!

+1 This is the only way you can get it to work on the phone side that I can find. Works flawlessly.
Transformer wont see 6.5 tether unless you root it.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
Works fine for me, but slightly counter-intuitive. Firstly I paired the Phone and Transformer:
1. Set Phone to discoverable
2. Scan for devices on TF
Secondly, run Internet Sharing App (its in the tools folder on my WM6.5)
Select Bluetooth PAN instead of USB from the top dropdown and hit Connect
Now on the TF, selecting the Phone from the bluetooth settings should tether you
No rooting or modding of the TF required. Note this is Bluetooth tethering, not WiFi which doesn't work as WM6.5 WiFi tethering is Ad-Hoc, whci TF does not support without root and mod

Hi!
What version of Energy Rom are you using? for some reason i can only see USB on the dropdown, no Bluetooth. This is the internet sharing program.

I tried this method, but for some reason it still doesn't work. On the phone it says the following.
"Failed to establish Internet Sharing connection to remote device as it supports only Network Access Point (NAP) mode"
Also on the TF it still shows no profiles available with the phone. From what I have read in the forum is that the Touch Pro 2 is using the Broadcom Bluetooth stack and it doesn't' play very nice with other devices.

Which phone do you have? I have the same exact problem asthe OP using my Sprint TP2. I dont see Bluetooth PAN option in my TP2.
I was informed that if even our 6.5 devices would have that option to have bluetooth PAN active, our Transformers doesn't support DUN. Basically, it would be pointless to get internet through this bluetooth method Only thing that will happen is that we can share files with our WM 6.5 devices with our Transformer.
I have Omnia 2 running WM 6.5 using wmwifirouter (use trial version first). Launch using 3G BT, then under options - tools - Bluetooth - Swithch mode to PAN, then switch to discoverable.
Connects great - not the fastest, but I'll wait until we can have ad-hoc work or until I learn more about rooting.
i was able to to do blue tooth tether of Treo Pro 6.5 (raiderfan rom) Ill try it again once i get home and post details (in case it helps anyone)
mt TP2 screen broke and currently on my palm centro...(yes,,go ahead and laugh..haha)
might connect my tp2 just to try the tether. that phone is on a ENergy ROm

Not using Energy ROM, running stock HTC WM6.5 on a Touch Diamond 2. If you don't get Bluetooth PAN in your drop-down I guess your ROM does not support it
Aye, Not only the Rom, but the device itself on wmwifirouter
http://support.wmwifirouter.com/devices/
HTC Touch Pro 2
AT&T Tilt 2
HTC Rhodium
Sprint Touch Pro 2
Support from version 1.50. Sharing using Bluetooth not currently supported.
Guess i have to research more for alternatives.
Fellow TP2 owner here, I just pushed the modded file over to the TF (need root of course) and WIFI tethering works like a champ for me. Need to keep the phone screen active from what I can tell but I'm just using the built in HTC WIFI Router, 3rd party apps might have other options.
So while Bluetooth might be nice it seems like a no go for us old school TP2 owners...

I guess it all depends on what rom you use.
I'm using the 1st generation touch pro with NFSFAN's rom. Bluetooth is right there under the internet sharing application and works flawlessly with my TF.

I don't think it's so much ROM specific as it is PHONE specific. Haven't heard of any TP2's that work with bluetooth tethering looking across multiple forums on the subject.
Problem with hotspot
In some rom connects seamlessly with my Iconia Tab via tethering, but in most hotspot Tab detects but does not connect.
In the last Sense that is that I like does not operate outside apk using the rom.
Would greatly appreciate help on this topic.
I answered myself.
Seeking the net I found PdaNet Tablet, if you install the apk on both ends (server and mobile as the tablet as a client) and follow the instructions easily connect BT and fixed the problem, I've also noticed that the consumption is less than when making wifi hotspot.
Hello I have in my rom Iconia A500 THOR V14.2 ANDROID ROM 3.2.1 works fine, I used wifi tethering with my tel. rom htc hd2 and HD2_NDT_GINGER_2.3.7_CM7.2_BASED_V35.0_MAGLDR and earlier and this too well, but with great battery consumption at tel. So PdaNet tablet discovered by BT to connect both perfect and very good speed and low power consumption.
The problem is that I tried to do the same with other rom in the Tel and nofunciona with any other, in some Wifi if I managed to connect but bt nowhere.
I can not access this configuration to the proxy and the true sense of megustan the HTC rom and now I can not use them for this.
I have read also in San Google and forums and I think it has something to do DHCP choking in Iconium.
Would greatly appreciate help in resolving this problem.
I'm not completely sure I understood you correctly, but here's what I think might help you:
Bluetooth is somewhat broken on this tab. I don't know if BT tethering works on any ROM... I never actually searched for it and it's not in the settings.
WiFi Tethering works just fine with most ROMs; Acer removed the menu entry, but not the necessary software, i. e. any "WiFi tethering widget" will work if you've got root. I'm not sure about non-rooted devices, though, as I rooted mine like 10 minutes after I got it... Also, most custom ROMs (even almost-stock ones) restore the menu entry, so you don't even need that.
EDIT: After re-reading your post I think the problem might just as well be with the kernel you use... Its source is (in violation of the GPL) not available, so I can't be sure of that.
