Just found an awesome APP in the market called Pdanet Tablet you install it on your phone then on your tablet and use bluetooth to get internet to your tablet via your android phone!!!!
It works pretty well on my Epic to my Transformer!
No Root needed (This will be for those of us who have not hacked our phones to send off Wifi already.)
Not working on my tab :\
Edit: I fixed it. reboot helped.
Awesome find, thanks! It's not quite working consistently for me, but I was hoping the PdaNet dev would make a version just like this. I'm sure he'll get it working reliably soon enough...
tethering off my nexus s, 2.3 hotspot w00t.
Anyone get this to work on Droid X, 2.3?
An update: after I installed this app, my TF Internet connectivity was completely hosed. It might be coincidental, although I doubt it. Essentially, I lost the ability to connect to a number of services via wifi, even after I uninstalled the app. Couldn't connect to Google properties, Tapatalk couldn't connect, etc. Absolutely miserable.
Only way to fix it was to do a factory reset. Multiple reboots and reconfigs of wifi settings did nothing.
Moral: be careful with this app.

I have not installed it yet in my tablet.
But I just read it from the market and they said you should remove the proxy setting after using it, otherwise the internet will not work anymore.
Not sure if they meant you will have to remove the proxy setting everytime you finished using it. That will be a hassle if we need to switch between wifi and BT every time.
works for me bluetooth tethering to my Droid Incredible. Havent tried it longer than 30 mins so I havent experienced any disconnects yet.
You do have to reset the proxy every time you use the app (set it to use it, disable it when your done). If you dont, wifi wont connect anymore (at least for me).
It is a little bit of a hassle, but i can live with it. At least the app gives you a shortcut to quickly change the setting.

Are you getting 4G speed off your Epic? I'm using wifi tether right now and only getting 3G speeds even if 4G is enabled, what kind of speeds are you getting?

Not sure why you need an app. I wifi tether with my Nexus S and it works fine. Just have 2gb package from ATT. They don't seem to care.
I got it installed, and everything went smoothly except I have no internet access via browser, or gmail.
Otherwise, this looks like a good app, easy to use.
I tried this PDANet for Tablet. The first beta release was buggy and there was a lot of disconnects with some debugging prompts.
Then I saw they updated it several days ago.
After updating it, its still not a smooth experience.
Got it connected to the phone, launch the browser and I could browse the web, but after 2-3 web pages, then it will stop working.
Email does not seem to work for me. Both GMail client and the native Email client, none works for me. Google Map seems to work.
But again, the connection dropped very frequently.
Hi,
Does anyone know of a solution for the TF101 when the phone you want to tether to is not an android device. I am still using my trusty HTC HD2, and it's WiFi hotspot is "ad hoc" and not seen by the TF, and its bluetooth creates a PAN, and rudely tells me that the TF needs a NAP.
Maybe I can use the "windows mobile version of PdaNet on the phone with the android tablet PdaNet client on the TF??
Wifi hot spot on G2x works perfect and I get 4g speed will post screen shot when I figure out how..

I bought this with the intentions of using the wifi from my phone. Did not know that the fire could not connect to adhoc connections. Is there any way around this? As of now the fire is pretty useless to me if i cannot get this situation sorted out. Thanks for any help.

You have to look up on how your phone does its wifi hotspotting.
I have a galaxy S and when I set up the wifi, kindle fire works perfectly fine from it.
Search around here, someone had mentioned an app that will share it as infrastructure and not adhoc, which I believe is what you would need.
That app would be wifi tether if you are on Android

I am having trouble using the web browser with my Droid RAZR's wifi hotspot on verizon but book downloading, app downloading, and even prime video streaming seems to work fine. Not sure why the web browser doesn't.
Using my gf droidx and wifi tether I can finally get it to connect but then abruptly met with a verizon wallgarden page to sign into mobile hot spot.

Well as someone else mentioned, cyanogenmod on samsung galaxy s has no problems tethering. I still need to mod the Fire to allow adhoc tethering as I need it to be able to access my laptop's adhoc wifi... I think there are some files that need modifying i.e.
/system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini
/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

Hey Guys- So I have the samsung fascinate and have been trying to tether. I did some digging and figured out how too. This was on XDA archive I found:
Google android wifi tether. its on google code, get the latest experimental version under downloads.
set device profile to nexus one and setup method to netd(master) and it'll work with anything.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1002169.html
Here is the download link: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
I downloaded the top "wifi_tether_v3_1-beta7apk" opened it with the "astro File" app, and it works great!!!!
Good job nfrees114, works perfectly with my atrix.
I'm using my AKF on my way to work through my phone without any issues
I'm also able to WiFi tether to my Android phone (Droid 3) using the WiFi Tether App.
I have had no problems tethering using my Droid Incredible (running CM7).

What about using a service like Dropbox? Upload a file from one device, and download it to another. If we are talking about video files however, that might not be practical, and then I'd suggest doing it via a PC (if available). I'm not aware of any apps at the moment that allow sharing of filesystems across devices. I'm sure there are possibly ways with things like SSH, but that might be annoying to setup for the average user.

If you have Internet it should not be a problem you can use Amazon cloud, but I think to use phone like storage device, for example on flights or places you could not use Internet

So, without internet, it's highly likely you wouldn't have WiFi on either tablet, how would you network the tablets together without a network?! One of your tablets would have to be a Hotspot to provide the IP address to the other (and I'm not sure about the software available to do this). Even then, you'd need some underlying software that was able to mount/read the sdcard from the other device.
If you did have WiFi, then it's likely you have Internet, in which case you've just answered your own question!
Not saying it can't be done, I'm just saying it seems to be a little impractical for the times you don't have internet, in which case be organized enough to transfer files in advance.

So the Nexus 7 has some super sweet specs for that price point, but the one thing holding me back is the lack of an SD card slot. No, no, no, Google!!!
So I'm wondering if it's possible to work around this by streaming media from my phone (Galaxy S2, ICS + Touchwiz) directly to the tablet via wifi or bluetooth? I.e. the tablet connects directly to the phone, and not via a wifi network.
If not then I might have to pass on this tab, which is a damn shame because it looks so nice...

I was wondering the same thing. If this had a microSD slot I would have ordered one already.
The other thing holding me back is no HDMI output. Other than the “Q”, how could you stream video to a TV? Is that even an option??? I currently use my ipad to stream MLB.tv to my TV and this is a must for any tablet I own. I want to get rid of my ipad for the Nexus 7 but these two issues are holding me back.
no microsd card makes me glad i bought the tab2 7.0 when it came out 2-3 months ago.
i was planning on selling and buying this if it had it (due to nexus dev community), but that is downright silly not to have the slot.
I suspect you can set up a local ad hoc wifi network between the two.

Probably, but even if not, use wifi tether on your phone, give the tablet internet. then use the cloud.
Also, as I posted in general, use micro USB to USB for more storage
you can use wifi direct or you could set up ftp on phone then mount it on tablet

The cloud isn't an option for me as I travel on the London Underground a lot. No clouds to be seen down there, that's for sure.
Perhaps use the storage on your phone with WiFi hotspot and XLink to transfer files? I think that would work just fine.
I kind of wish it had more to offer, but then it would certainly cost way more too. So I think the options and alternatives will come, given the mass of people who will get this .

Yeah, I hate it that they didn't at least offer higher capacities. I'd gladly would have paid for a 64GB version. I wasn't going to get one, but then I figured that I may simply use it to read on or play games instead of store all my media. I think it would have been better if they had an microSD slot and included 2GB of system storage and 8GB card for data. That way people could put whatever sized card they wanted to on there. :\
I guess Google wants people to expand their imaginations.... Imagine how awesome your device would be if you had access to wi-fi on your commute.
Wifi Direct Might be an option as stated earlier. I haven't played with it yet though. Also don't forget the NFC Android Beam that was upgraded in 4.1 and also Bluetooth could also be an option. I'm going to head home and test some stuff on my Acer A500 tonight and see if some of this works.

Ok here's how i managed to transfer files from my phone to my tablet without needing to be connected to wifi/mobile data connection - and it's much faster than bluetooth (bout 3-4 min for a 500mb file. I wasn't able to properly stream video, but you can play the file as you download, so it's kind of like streaming only you have to delete the file afterwards.
1. Download FTPserver (free app) from Play onto your phone.
2.Turn off your mobile data connection and then switch on wifi hotspot.
3. Setup FTPserver (user, password, port etc) and make sure you check all the boxes for accepting connections.
4. Connect tablet to the wifi hotspot. Open up an FTP client (es file exporer or whatever) and connect to your phones FTP server. Voila; access away.
If you've already got plenty of space on your phone, it's bypasses the need for wi-drives and the need to carry around an extra gadget.
[update] Using Samba Filesharing (similar setup to above) app on my phone i was able to stream video over the hotspot, only bout 5 secs buffering before it started to play. So pretty good.
[update 2] The built in server on FileExpert allows you to stream - works better than the samba app which was a bit crashy when starting it up.
Bubbleupnp works for me.

Have attempted to search forums for this and have not found anything... I understand this might be a limited use case...
The ability to create a wifi hotspot is gone from the build of android running on the N7. Is there a way to add it back in?
At first this might seem bizarre since the N7 doesn't have any 3G to share. I would like to be able to transfer files to the N7 using wifi but without relying on another device. I can use AirDroid to transfer files, however without the wifi hotspot feature this is a moot point. Sadly the play store seems to only offer apps that create a shortcut to the built in hotspot features and don't work.
That sounds bizarre.
Tell us what it is you want to accomplish in detail.

As it stands, for me to transfer files wirelessly between my laptop and N7, I would need a wireless network. I don't currently have a wireless network to connect to. Instead, I want to use the hotspot on the N7, connect with my laptop and then use AirDroid or similar to transfer files.
I suppose a similar way to accomplish this would be with an AdHoc network, although I believe Android will not connect to these with it's default configuration.
Because Bluetooth doesn't exist? I'm a little confused on what you're really asking. =.3
Sure, I guess the end result is a little like sharing files over Bluetooth. Except without Bluetooth, obviously.
Not sure how I can make this any clearer. :/

I would suggest to try free variants like Swift FTP server. Have been using it from the beginning of my android adventure, works flawlessly
Use a FTP client like FileZilla to configure the device. Assign manual IPs for each of your android devices in your router and save as different devices in FileZilla, click and connect over WiFi.
The transfer speed is limited only by your WiFi connection speed.
This is one of the free software alternatives

That won't work while i'm on the go and don't have access to WiFi. Was in the car with both tablets and needed to transfer a file from my phone to the tablets and with WiFi-Direct and WiFi Shoot it was a snap and the file was transferred within a minute on the Nexus 7, I have yet to do this on the Transformer do to the lack of WiFi Direct.
Why in the world would Asus REMOVE WiFi Direct in the JB update?
I don't want to start FTP server on the phone and share a hotspot etc WiFi Direct with WiFi Shoot was so simple and effective.
Anyway to add it back without flashing CM9/10?

sorry but it won't work, because you still need a wifi hotspot to make it work, and you said you're in a car you don't have wifi hotspot,
basically either FTP or Wifi transfer pro or any WiFi transfer method still requires you to have a wifi hotspot to work, this wifi hotspot is where the 2 devices can transfer files, this wifi hotspot does NOT need internet connection, so even if your wifi hotspot can't go to internet, you can still use it to transfer files.
so what's the solution? use your android to create a virtual wifi hotspot? how? i don't know . on computer i usually use connectify. i believe on android there should be a way to do it.
hopefully you understood what i meant, 'cause i'm not good at explaining

that is the most likely app that works similar to wifi direct and wifi shoot.
@Others
I can create a wifi hotspot with the s3 and did that while in the car for internet on the tablet. Its just I don't want to create a hotspot then start a FTP server every time i need to transfer a file on the go or carry cables. If i ever take my tablet on the go its mainly to watch videos or play games but not for browsing the web so it that sense wifi direct was such a simple way to transfer files.
Bluetooth file transfer might have to do until the JB bootloaders security are beaten and i can install CM9/10.
EDIT:
Using bluetooth file transfer and trying to transfer a 300MB avi will take at least 15 minutes which is extremely slow, god i hate why they removed features. I wish i could install CM, anyone have any idea if that will be possible in the near future or are we in for a long wait?

in case you are still interested in options of sharing thru wi-fi or wi-fi direct, please check out my app "PeerDeviceNet" which does exactly that and more. it supports android2.2+, allowing sharing web pages, contacts, photos videos and other docs. in my own tests, i tried to send 2G file successfully. it has been on google market for a while. unfortunately i cannot post the link here (too new to post external links). you can find the links at my web site: peerdevicenet.net , or search for it at google play.
hope it helps.

Have you tried the app X-Link? Does what you need (File transfers via wifi network across devices).
these are all great suggestions but all require the devices to be on the same network. So this will not work if i'm sitting on train or something which is why wifi direct was so easy and did not require devices to be connected to a wifi network.
I know i can still do this and use any of the above apps using wifi hotspot and will try them out.
