Looking for a way to USB tether my Iconia tablet through my android phone..
before anyone gives me the "just use wifi" speech.. I cant due to where I work.. absolutely ZERO wifi allowed.. they have wifi sniffers. 3G is fine.. sooo need a way to tether via USB.
Both my devices are rooted.
I would love this as well. Could always use bluetooth dun though right?

nope.. BT freq's are monitored too.. can really only use USB.
I just can't understand why this is such an obstacle.. figure something like this would be easy to do.
Very interested in finding a way to do this as well.
I haven't test it, but in the Thor ROM 14.2 there is under "Tethering & Mobil Hotspot" > USB-Tethering. Maybe you try that ROM.
Tried this with my DROIDX and the built in 3G hotspot app which has a USB tethering option. No go.
Pdanet is my usb tetherer of choice. Right now I don't think it's supported but they may get that together and it seems something more feasible as android becomes a legit OS.

Search the market for this app.its what your looking for and I can confirm it does work and works well.there is a thread about it on here somewhere.
Out curiosity why not allowed to use wifi or Bluetooth.

What do I put on the tablet side to make this work?? PdaNet only has windows and Mac options for the "computer" side...
Because where I work people are retards and paranoid..
You think adroid to android USB tethering internet would be the easiest think but its not? It should be built into the software I mean cmon google?

You would think right??
I did find this page..
http://www.shadowsplace.net/923/android/tether-android-phone-desire-to-android-tablet-iconia-a500-via-usb-cable/
I tried it and unfortunatly it doesnt seem to work with whatever kernel Taboonay changed to when I loaded that ROM. Guess my only option right now is to do some trial and error on diffent kernels until I find one that works..
Maybe some help here...

Actually, PdaNet does have a beta version for tablets...

Unfortunately for you it is only through bluetooth.

I'm assuming you read this thread:
[Q] USB Tethering between A500 and Android phone
which leads to your quoted link. In that thread he specifically mentions the kernel which worked (Only thing needed (tested with 2.3 version of this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...hp?t=1170319):)
Sorry if you've already seen that and still no luck...
KICK ASS!! that kernel worked!!
I'm in airplane mode and able to surf the internet. only thing im seeing is that the box will pop up saying that there is no internet connection, but I just hit OK and it goes to whatever page I typed in.
Thanks again..

Glad that worked... I may be trying the same thing very soon.
I wish PDAnet would soften up and just do stuff for root. Their iphone app is only available to jailbreakers so you'd they wouldn't be so up tight.
Well after a few days of using tether this way.. Ive figured out that most apps wont recognize USB tethering.. I cant get Google Talk to sign in. Google Market seams to work fine though. Seems like some things will tell you that there is no internet connection but still work.. some just wont.

I have been trying to do it all day, downloading different roms, using there built in tether's but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. My zune nor my laptop pick up a signal :|. Anybody have any idea why it wont work?
on the tether app did you go to like the second option and have your comp connect ot it and click that checkmark that allows it to completly tether?

you need to go into tether settings access control enable it then in your wirless on the pc find your phone connection and connect the go back to access control and youll see your pc then put a check mark there
Yes I'm able to just fine. I am using the "Nothing but Netfilter 1.6" ROM After rooting the phone there was no issue. Didnt even need to add anything else to make it work.. But I did notice it doesnt work if you dont switch Wifi on manually.
Did you ever get your tethering to work?
ok so i got the visionary temp root and i tried to use barnacle wifi tethering but i cant get it to connect with my laptop.. it keeps saying no internet access. so i used the stock tmobile hotspot and it seems to work just fine but i didnt know if it would charge my bill or not? does anyone know if it will? also is there another wifi tethering app i can download that works for maybe one of u guys? thanks

I do not THINK Barnacle is compatible with the Kernel in the Sense ROM, that they are using.
Try using the Google Code Wifi application. http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...etail?name=wireless_tether_2_0_6.apk&can=2&q=
That one should work fairly well for you.
Never posted anything that made it into someones signature before. Thats awesome.
I've used all 3 "Stock", Barnacle and the Google.Code one and they all 3 worked fine. I have stuck with the stock one (TMO not charging me for it either) because I prefer the UI for it and it connects first try every time for me. activate app, power up netbook and by the time my netbook is done powering up it has already connected itself to my phone a ready to go for a romp on the inter-web. I have been using it since day I got the phone and haven't received the text telling me I had to add tethering to my account... but then I never get anywhere near the 5GB "cap", my heaviest month was 1.51GB

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.

haha Connectify continuously made my computer crash. I had to uninstall it in Safe Mode. Make sure that the network sharing adapter is the one with the internet connection and the hosting adapter has Wifi compatibility. I think the settings can be found when right-clicking on the Connectify icon on the Taskbar.
Can u xplain it a bit more for me? Want to conect my phone with my laptop's internet

Have you had this problem in multiple ROMs? You can maybe re-install Connectify and try.
WOOT! 400th post
Actually don't think ROMS are the problems! If no phone gets the signal it cause of something isn't it? I think swift can but IDk
Sent from my LG GT540 using XDA App
I don't use Connectifi cause it was not working well for me (driver problems etc.) so I searched for something similar and found Maryfi. This tool works nicely and is pretty easy to use.
Gonna try it then! Hope it works, u think it gives internet to the phone?
Well, im actually using Pebe's 2.3.7 v5.1 rom, and it detects conetifity and works fine! Cool! thanks anyways!
hey guys this is my first posting so be gentle...
i just wanna share something that might help people that has problems with tethering...
i have a rooted motorola photon 4g and i use it to tether wifi on my asus tf101 because i dont have internet at home... but after ICS ROMS came out, i usually switched roms coz i couldnt tether my wifi...i was using the regular wifi tether in the market at that time... but every time i try to connect to my tether i couldnt, it just says SAVED...and i already tried the fix that you should change the wpasupplicant2 but when im at work i couldnt connect to a normal wifi... ....then after lots and lots of reading and trying to solve my problem i saw an app that works great but its a little bit tricky coz you wont find it in the market that instant...
.... you only need to install this on the phone your gonna use for tethering...
.... for sprint carriers it is blocked on the market but here are the steps to get it....
... for other carriers just search for FOXFI (blue colored wifi tether app)
---------------- OR YOU COULD JUST GO TO FOXFI WEBSITE http://foxfi.com/bin THANKS TO dca09 FOR THE INFO ------------
what i did and you should do is....
1. on your phone go to the market and search for PDANET TABLET...
2. click PDANET TABLET and scroll down up to DEVELOPER
3. click VISIT WEBPAGE (then the browser would open)
4. scroll down and click DOWNLOAD VERSION 3.50
5. after download is done open PDANET and click WIFI TETHER MODE then you will be prompted to install FOXFI
6. install FOXFI and enjoy
- you could even create a wpa2 password for your own protection on this app -
- you could use either WIFI TETHER or BLUETOOTH TETHER -
did anyone already tried what i did? please let me know if it worked for you and what ROM are you using on your tf101
Pdanet Works, but I really prefer native tether that exists in Cm9 and AOKP. Never had an issue with it.
yeah me too...
yeah i liked that too... but did u installed and used foxfi tether??the blue one? i think its better coz i tried it on every rom
I was/will be there for you
FYI
Just to let you know that you can also use your browser to go to the FOXFI web site and download it from there (http://foxfi.com/bin). You'll have to enable install "Unknown sources" to install the .apk file.
It's a little easier and you'll have the .apk file for backup.
I use Wifi Tether for Root on my phone to tether to my transformer. I've never had need to go the other way since my tf101 is wifi only.
thanks man hehehe

I agree. Native tethering with on/off button on power widget in notification tray. Once network is saved, all it takes is one toggle of the button and boom, you are connected.

I just got my tf101 and so far haven't been able to connect wifi or blue tooth to my htc evo.
I can find it and it shows up as a paired device but I can't connect to it.
I installed the pda net and the foxfi and it appears to be working, but still can't get a signal or a menu/connection to my phone.
Any ideas?

what rom are you using?
"i just ...and i already tried the fix that you should change the wpasupplicant2 but when im at work i couldnt connect to a normal wifi."
How do you make the change to wpasupplicant2?
Damn....i was hoping the suplicant2 method would fix the adhoc issue in ics...i just picked up this tablet and havnt been able to get it tethered yet ....i have a tmobile vibrant rooted on froyo rom ... and still no dice.... even foxfi doesnt. So why would the suplicant2 tweak not work with your jobs wifi?...
Starting to look like i should downgrade to hc.... i really dont feel like messing with my phone with different roms...would rather tinker on the transformer
the app says it doesnt work with htc phones as they build some kind of security into it. and some moto phones wont work....
i also have a droid x and it works just not reliably.

thats because you need to undo what you did to the wpasupplicant2 in able to connect to normal wifi..thats my problem before...try FOXFI it wont mess up your wpasupplicant1 and 2 so you wouldnt bother to change anything..just reflash the rom you are using then use FOXFI..

if your using an htc phone thereis a lot of tethering apps out there that you could use.. or if you want to.. you could use PDANET for tethering via bluetooth or usb...
