I used Fixsters method to make my non-rooted Atrix into a hotspot. I am wondering if AT&T can see that you have done this since you are using their connection and address in the APN. Any thoughts? If you did a tether via rooted phone is it safer? I have used PDAnet USB to my PC and than shared with my router to create a hotspot, but using the phone itself as a hotspot is so much easier. Thanks
Hello, am wondering if there are anny possibility for Wireless tether in AP Mode
On the DHD?
The htc hospot app is adhoc right? is so i need Wireless Tether for Root on my DHD to be able to share internet with my tablets? but is there a Wireless Tether for Root that workes with DHD?

Why doesn't the HTC Wi-fi Hotspot app do the job? It makes your DHD into a wireless router by sharing your 3G internet connection via wi-fi. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWYIdr41bAo
I agree with the above post. The hotspot feature is painless.
My phone is rooted, Atrix 4G, and I have tried using barnacle tether and wifi tether and I cannot connect to my TF.
How do I do this?
I understand it uses an AD-Hoc connection the tablet can use so maybe bluetooth or a hack?

The TF will need to be rooted for this method.
I have no problem with wifi tether, its a true infrastructure network. Barnacle uses an ad-hoc network and the TF will not connect to that without the work above.
What kind of problem did you have with wifi tether?
I can easily connect to my rooted Nexus One running CM7. I just run the built in tethering and connect.
What ROM are you running? Try the built in tethering if you have it. I didn't have any luck running the market tethering apps.
I have a rooted Droid and am able to wireless tether via Bluetooth with no problem. I also understand that I can't wireless tether via wifi because the TF won't except ad hoc wifi, which is what Droid creates.
What I would like to know is if I can wire tether. I bought a 2.0 USB to micro USB with a 2.0 female to female adapter and using a wired tether app on my Droid. The TF doesn't see anything, doesn't even recognize it's connected to a USB.
Any thoughts?
I just set my HTC Desire to be a wireless hotspot and my TF connects to that just fine !?

I believe this is because your phone creates an infrastructure wifi whereas the Droid is only capable of creating an ad hoc Wifi. That's why I would like to know if wired tether is possible since it would be much faster than the Bluetooth tether.
Wifi Tether 3.0-pre 14 **Experimental**

This was my only solution. I'm using my rooted Cyanogen Nexus S 4g with my unrooted TF
Wondering if BT Tether will work?
I have an original Droid as well, rooted, using wifi tether. It creates an ad-hoc wifi connection. To enable the TF to connect to ad-hoc you have to follow the instructions in the thread I linked to above, this will allow the TF to connect to an ad-hoc wifi connection. The TF will need to be rooted to accomplish this.
If your TF is not rooted, you will have to install Wifi Tether 3.0 pre-14 (http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list) on your rooted phone and enable Bluetooth tether. Then go into your Bluetooth settings on the TF and Pair to your phone.
I can do it over wi-fi with samba or DLNA but I'm wondering if doing it via hotspot will consume data. I doubt it but I'm not sure. With the Inspire I could turn off mobile internet and still use hotspot, with the sgs4 I must connect to the Internet to use the hotspot.
I am with stock Samsung Lollipop from Rogers. I need to use reverse bluetooth tethering so that my phone can share the internet with my laptop.
However I don't see bluetooth tethering in Tethering and Mobile hot spot.
How can I enable it?
I don't want to use wifi or USB for some reasons, I have to use bluetooth.
Thanks
