i have my eris rooted with wireless tethering. can i connect the galaxy tab to the phone somehow?
i turned on the wifi tethering but it creates an ad hoc network, not a hotspot. So, i went to Best Buy and tried to get the Demo tab to find my phone but it wouldnt. I forgot to try the BT tethering instead of the wifi tho.
any thoughts?
Hey all, I can't seem to get my Xoom to connect to my incredible that is running the wifi hotspot app. I am guessing that is because it is an ad-hoc network. Anybody know of a work around?
I was having the same problem with my Droid. I ended up using the Bluetooth option and connected my Xoom to that. Works great.
i had the same issue with my d2g. i reinstalled from the market and changed the channel to ch. 8. now i'm tethering in high gear.
Dear all,
Figured out how to ad-hoc connect via wifi. I guess it is NOT the Xoom's fault. It is the smartphone's fault.
This is according to my observation:
I had both stock non-rooted XOOM and stock rooted 2.2 froyo ATT Captivate.
I was unable to wifi tether because the ATT mobile AP message kept popping up saying that I needed to purchase a tether packed (No thanks).
I preferred the stock experience but finally went back to a custom rom (firefly) for the captivate. After installing the custom rom I can CONFIRM that I can connect via ad-hoc tether wifi via my captivate and Xoom!
I however, have not been able to bluetooth tether.
Anyways, I am returning my XOOM for the Asus transformer because it has the LED backlit screen and besides the $100 less price tag, it is identical.
Stock xoom here and rooted captivate using stock ROM and eXistz KB1 kernel.
I installed wifi teather found here: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
Had to play around with the settings and set Device Profile to Samsung captivate and setup-method to Softap for Samsung and now i can teather no problems.
Softap for Samsung is actually Infrastructure mode, not Ad-Hoc.
It works fine with wifi tethering on 2.3 roms. No issues on CM7
I have not been able to get this to work.
I have the Wifi Xoom 3.1 Stock ROM
Captivate Rooted with Continuum v4
firmware: 2.2.1
Kernal: 2.6.32.9
buildNumber: FROYO.XWJS8
Any Ideas? Or maybe a step by step guide? I am trying to get the BT Tethering to work.
Thanks,

Yeah I was doing this with my stock Xoom and CM7 Desire HD for ages. The problem was that an unrooted phone sets up an ad-hoc connection whereas in CM7 anyway it behaves as a router AP.
So does that mean I can't get my Xoom to tether to my Captivate via BT?

The Xoom CAN-NOT tether to Ad-hoc without being rooted and changing out the wpa_supplicant file. The Captivate has the ability to tether infrastructure mode (mobile AP isn't ad-hoc.) The wireless tether 3.x (softap) is much more buggy than the 2.x (ad-hoc) on most phones but it might work great on your captivate. If it keeps restarting or getting really hot like it did on mine, you could always root your Xoom and flash the ad-hoc fix in recovery (super easy.)

But that is Wifi Tethering or just setting my Captivate to be a Hot Spot.
I was more specifically asking about the Bluetooth tethering.
Has anyone been able to get this to work? I have seen numerous threads that say they got their Wifi only Xoom to BT tether to Droid X and others.
If I would need to flash my Captivate to another build I would easily. This is the only function I need to for my Xoom and I am completely content.
So I am asking if anyone has got the BT tethering to work... the Wifi Tethering or Hot Spot as you said does heat up the phone quickly, where my friend and his Droid X with BT tethering does not heat up noticeably.
Thanks in advance,

So if I root the Xoom and add the Ad-hoc fix, it would allow me to use the BT Tethering?
So I'm a newb to phones but I have two HTC EVO 4gs and rooted both. The only difference between the two being that my phone has the ChopSuey kernel and my wifi tether works and my wife's does not have a kernel and her wifi tether does not work. The issue at hand is that her phone will open the wifi tether app and will allow computers to connect to it but once you try to use the internet it says no connection exists. Any help?
My phone is an HTC Hero cdma(sprint) that I rooted with z4root and cm7. 1. I tried almost every single version of the wifi tether app on the code Google website and none of them work.
My cm7. 1 has usb tether but not portable wifi hotshot. If anybody knows a way I would be really grateful.
The Hero only has Ad-Hoc wireless tether so your device may not be able to connect to Ad-Hoc networks and only infrastructure networks.

I'm running Wireless Tether v 2.0.7 on my CM6 Hero without problems.
Let me know if you can't find that version.
Doesn't CM7 have the native tether app in the CM config screens? I don't tether with my Hero but I will have to take a look at it when I get home. I know that I used to use wireless tether app routinely so the Hero will def tether just fine.
Cyanogen mod 7.1 has tethering via usb but not portable wifi hotspot. I may have to flash to cm6 see if it becomes available. Thank you for the responses ill post back after my attempt.
