I know this seems almost pointless...But I have both the Diamond 2 on att, with an unlimited data plan, and the Droid Eris through a pre paid. I want to know if it is possible to use the "Wi-Fi Router" on the Diamond 2 to share internet with my Droid Eris?
Ive tried a few times, and I think it might have to do with the Diamond2 showing ps as IBSS ad hoc connection.
Is there another way? or is it even possible to begin with?
The reason is just so that if I run out of data on the prepaid, I can connect to the Diamond2 if i really need to if im not near a wifi spot.
I dunno if this helps but I tethered my xperia to my blackberry by using the blackberry as a "bluetooth modem". I'm not sure if theres such a setting in android (probably)
Take a look, see if it can be done without wifi
thanks, but im trying to connect through my Diamond 2 and unfortunately android doesnt ask me what services I want to use when they are paired.
Android does not connect to ad-hoc connections out of the box. You need to root your Eris. But as far as I can tell, no one has figured out to root it yet.
I'm trying the same thing...
But my setup is attempting to use internet sharing or the WMWiFi application to share internet to the bluetooth of a Samsung Propel Pro to the bluetooth of an older Samsung Blackjack with no sim card. Just to get the older BJ to see the internet, but I can't see to get Bluetooth PAN working on the setup.
Is this possible to do? What am I missing?
anyone got an idea. this would be a cool trick to do. Cheapest VOIP Cheapest VOIP calls
i know that if u can put both connection to ur pc from wifi with both or to wifi with on and usb with the other. in network connections u can "bridge" the connection
This phone doesn't support ad hoc wifi connections? I'm currently on travel overseas and I can't seem to share an Internet connection with my laptop (connected via LAN) or iPhone 3GS (local 3G service). Has anyone been able to detect an ad hoc wifi network with this phone.
I can detect ad hoc networks with 3rd party wifi apps on the marketplace but when I attempt to connect, it directs me to the general wifi settings screen where the network is gone!!
Anyone else with this issue?
Did you ever see that it was an international phone?
WTF?? I'm talkin about a Wifi connection here buddy...lol. The EVO 4G doesn't detect or connect to ad hoc wifi networks. That's the topic...
while i dont know if it does or doesnt...i could believe it...because there is a few phones out there that dont - blackberry is one.
The wireless tether app for Android makes it into an ad hoc device.
But the problem is that it won't DETECT an ad-hoc device. Interesting. So if I had, say a hero with WiFi tether enabled, I wouldn't be able to see the WiFi with my EVO?
I don't connect to ad-hoc networks myself, unless I"m trying to tether something (the only use I can see.) Interesting that the EVO can't see them though, they should still show up..huh.
Seems to be some type of security feature on the device (WiFi Scanner app detects) that prevents it from detecting ad hoc wireless networks. My PS3 also has the same issue. Just wanted to point it out the issue...perhaps we need to root to manually connect?
just to be clear, you're trying to share your laptops internet with your Evo?
Yes, the laptop has Internet access via LAN and I am using the built in ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) Wifi Sharing on Windows Vista. Every other device I've had before had no issue detecting the network...I can see the access point right now on my iPhone and iPod Touch :-/
Found this workaround:
http://www.soligard.com/technology/how-to-connect-htc-hero-to-ad-hoc-wifi-network/
I'll try this later and report back.
I don't know if I'm experiencing the same problem but maybe someone can tell what I'm doing wrong. I rooted my phone by unrevoked and installed the Android-Wifi-Tether program. I've activated the program and it's sending out a signal. I then use my Windows Vista comp. to located it and it shows my phone as an "Ad-Hoc Network" when I connect to it, it says your computer is not configured for this. I'm not sure now what I should do, is there a problem with my EVO, or this something I need to do with the computer.
OP you are absolutely correct. I actually was trying the exact example you stated. I had created an ad-hoc wireless hotspot/network via Wireless Tether App on my Hero and my EVO just plain did not see it. It saw a million other networks that were much farther away, but not my Hero that was right next to it. This is unfortunate. Hopefully a workaround is found soon.
A lot of devices don't connect via an Ad Hoc network... which makes me wonder what its purpose even is :/ One reason I submitted the idea (true wifi hotspot) I did to the WP7 app contest.
This is what made me return my Archos 5 Android tablet and stick to my iPod Touch.
My scenario, i have a Sprint Treo and an iPod Touch (and iPad as well) and usually turn my Treo into a wifi router via wmwifirouter and use iPod Touch this way. Been doing this for years (with other devices too like the Nokia N800/N810), and wanted to test out Android. I got the Archos 5 tablet and was saddened not to be able to use my Treo's ad-hoc wifi. Back it went.
It seems that Android devices do not connect to ad-hoc wifi networks. Shame indeed. Also i think the Zune HD does not connect to ad-hoc as well.
Is it an O.S specific issue?
Why is it impossible to use the tethering by BT between the Archos Gen 8 and more android phone ?
fortunately on the nexus one i wil be create a hotspot
but for another phones have you a solution ?
Hy with Samsung Galaxy 9000 it works very easy. Build up a Mobile Hotspot on the SGS and Connect with to the Archos, works perfectly.

why it don't work for anothers phones
n1 by eg ?
You can get it to work on N1 too ... but I don't think it is built into the phone though.
I use CyanogenMod 6 on my N1, and there are only options to do Wifi Hotspot (which burns battery power like there is no tomorrow) or USB tehtering.
But if you use the app called Wireless Tether, you can use BT tethering between your Gen8 and your phone.
Rockstar from ArchosFans' forums made a vid on how to do that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CN4hBqIyI-U
i use the same
but for many android phones it is not possible
Yeah, I've been posting this same question all over the place begging for someone to help me tether to my Moto Cliq (rooted with tethering enabled). I even asked Archos and they sent me some generic response that didn't help at all.
I know my Cliq can tether, cause my PC can connect to it. But with my Archos, all I get is the "paired, but not connected" nonsense. No matter what I do. It's the same with my N900 as well. I am starting to think that the Bluetooth module on the Archos is defective. But I don't have any other Bluetooth devices to test it out with.
This thing is almost useless to me without tethering as a possibility.
most phones (including android ones) provides ad-hoc wifi tethering only (via 3rd party software), and archos cannot detect ad hoc wifi network.

Android does not officially support AdHoc Networks. Once we have root we can make this work easily.
I did a walk through for bluetooth pan with a Droid X: http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=43001
I tried the same with my wifes inc and it didn't work.
iPhone 4 and BT Tethering
1. Remove all previous BT pairing between iPhone and Archos 70.
2. Se both BT to active and discoverable.
3. Once you see iPhone under "bluetooth devices" in Archos, get it paired.
4. At this point, you will see that status on Archos is "paired but not connected"
5. In Archos, goto "Cell phone tethering", you should be asked to set up a tethering profile for Bluetooth or USB. Select Bluetooth and a new iPhone PAN profile will be setup.
6. Select checkbox for "Tether"
7. At this point, you will see Archos device in iPhone changed to "Connected", and a blue bar at the top says "Internet Tethering".
Bear in mind if iPhone or Archos goes to sleep, my experience is that the Internet connection is gone, no matter if the connection status remains. Therefore, please do not allow iPhone or Archos to go to sleep while you are using the Internet tethering connection.
Hope this works for you.

WiFi Tethering has been introduced with Froyo for most phones. Before that you needed root and some app doing it.
WiFi Tethering with my Desire works great, but I wasn't able to setup Bluetooth Tethering between them. Like there are profiles missing to establish a network connection.
Try the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack, there is a 30 day free trial and it give you PAN. I have a HTC Eris and bluetooth tethering is not possible, it crashes the phone.
I have an Espresso running CM 6.1 and WiFi Hotspot works... Will I be able to use it with the Archos 70?
HTC Magic with Cyanogenmod 6.1 and the app 'Wifi Tethering' in bluetooth mode works perfectly.
I thought wifi tethering was going to eat the battery too.
Was able to tether from ~90% to ~10% for over 6 hours continuously on an Evo running cm6.1.1 with the built-in mobile hotspot.
I posted a .apk in post #3 that has worked for all the rooded android phones i have tried.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887018
use mifi or similar product, i use a product from ZTE and work well. better don't use your android phone for wifi thetering, it will drain your phone battery much faster
use you phone to search for "google wireless tether" and download the apk this is free and works great for BT tethering between my 101 and moto droid 1.

This does not work for us with Sprint. Sprint uses CDMA not GSM. No APN on my Sprint HTC Hero. Tethering works perfectly with my Laptop and my HTC Hero using Bluetooth. NOT with Archos 70 IT.

Uhh... I'm not having problems tethering with BT, Archos 101 and Sprint (HTC) Hero. Not at all sure what makes you think CDMA vs GSM has to do with this.
2.0.5pre7 wireless tether.
I seem to be having problems tethering my A101 to my HTC Touch HD.
Bluetooth seems hit and miss. Any suggestions on correct procedure.
I also have a little app on my phone for establishing it as a wifi router. The app is wmwifirouter. While my lap top see's it fine the A101 just doesnt see it. Anyone managed to ge their A101 to tether to a wifi type connection their WM phone?
i'm having problem with it as well ... the A101 to my SE x10i ... the bluetooth can "see" the mobile but when it cannot pair ... this is plain stupid!!
i've tried to contact the Archos Support but no solutions as yet.
I tether my HTC Evo to my Archos 70 IT with zero issues. My Evo is rooted and I run the "Wireless Tether" app in the market (their website). It starts an ad-hoc WiFi access point that the tablet can connect to. I've never had any issues. The app supposedly works over bluetooth as well but I've never tried it.
I'm in the exact same boat as you airnike, except the issue is tether to my BlackBerry Bold 9780. I found a thread (listed below) that seems to offer me the possibility of getting my connection up and running - since it seems that it was a problem in the Archos firmware in the first place, maybe you can solve it by following the thread.
Because I am so new I cannot just post the URL, so here it is in a conveluted fashion.
h t t p ://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=46116
Stock Archos devices don't support ad-hoc networking, only infrastructure. Wireless Tether from the market supports ad-hoc and infrastructure mode. Some phones support infrastructure mode and some do not. If your phone does, you are lucky and it may work. There is a list of supported devices on the Wireless Tether website. There are also several threads on here about tethering and ad-hoc networking.
Tethering Blackberry is another problem, I think I read somewhere it was resolved now, but you need to type in a script in terminal.
Tethering Windows Mobile should be very easy. I always tether bluetooth from my Samsung i8000 to my 101. I never used wifi though as I reckon bluetooth is more battery friendly and speed is acceptable. What exactly is your tethering problem? what do you mean hit or miss? I've been consistently able to tether via bluetooth on my WM phone.
I have had some trouble tethering my Touch HD to my "101" as well - but finally this seems solved.
After pairing both devices, I found that I need to activate Bluetooth on both, then establish internet connection on the "HD" - and after that my "101" will tether fine.
The only strange thing I am a little unhappy with, is the fact that the tethering seems to break down when I turn off the screen of the mobile. When it switches off by itself, the connection appears to be stable.
i have a htc ozone wm phone how did u connect to your a101
What are the pro and cons of tethering via Bluetooth? I have Wi-Fi hotspot on my phone, and it worked perfectly right away. Could the Bluetooth use less battery?
Sent from my SilverBullet "HTCDesireZ running CM7"
This thread went a bit off topic eh?
Pete, did you ever get this working? I have a A101 16GB and a Touch HD. They tethered via bluetooth off the bat for me.
Running:
A101 16GB - UrukDrod 0.7
Touch HD - EnergyRom
If you want me to post steps, let me know.
Hello.
I'm having trouble tethering an Asus Transformer (stock) to my Touch HD (also stock).
I can pair them but they don't connect.
Tried the establish data connection/turn BT on/tether suggestion but no luck.
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
E

No clue. Wouldn't they know more in the Asus Transformer forums?

Could someone please either tell me how to tether to iphone or point me at the right direction? All my search results turn up peep patting each other on the back for doing this but no real instructions.
Use nook color blue tooth tether, it works great·
Pair bluetooth first, install widget and connect, some apps cant see the internet with bluetooth internet. In thar case just use wifi. But perfect for browsing, use tether me on you iphone by the way, in case you are in US
