I use my Mediapad M3 at the gym and I watch videos with my Bluetooth headphones. I know that the Bluetooth slows the wifi and I am wondering if it is worth rooting To open up the 5ghz Wi-Fi channel. Is There a downside and if you Think I should do it, what's the easiest way?

updating ROM after rooting is a NIGHTMARE
also, very little support on XDA forums
in short, not worth the hassle
Thanks for saving me the hassle

OK I'm about to go away on hoilday and will not have any wifi access! I have ICS phone and I was having a look at the tethering setting and noticed a Bluetooth option. I have had a play and can pair my HTC desire HD to my TF101 but no joy connecting to the web. Is this possible over 3g? Or is their an other way of achieving this.. Cheers
You could try this, I use it all the time at work....

Yesterday I bought a used Galaxy Note from a guy on Craigslist. Everything works great except Bluetooth. I usually pair my phone with 3 different devices. Rocketfish headphones, Creative D200 speaker, and a Belkin bluetooth receiver connected to my home theater. All of my previous and other current devices have no problems streaming to these devices. my new Note pairs with each of these devices and connects, then starts streaming, then no music or sounds can be heard after a few seconds. It still shows connected. I have tried everything unpairing, repairing, rebooting. i even upgraded to ICS and get the same problem except after it streams for a few secs it disconnects now and shows paired and will not connect again until I reboot. Has anyone else had problems like this? By the way im tring to stream Iheartradio using a wifi connection. Any help you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated
Thanks.

Do you think AT&T would replace my phone under the one year warranty?

After further testing I have had limited success streaming music that is stored on my phone to the bluetooth devices. they stream for at least 45 minutes. Its just when I try to stream Iheart, tunein,winamp shoutcast,ect through wifi or 4G I have this problem. this is strange. I wish I could find some other people that claim they stream online media to bluetooth.
@OP
any chance using or flashing a custom kernel would do the trick on your current issue?
Whatever you do never factory reset or data wipe on stock ICS.

Either you are in the wrong forum, or no. The ATT Note is a completely different device.

Yes I do believe i am in the wrong forum. I should have posted in the AT&T version of the Galaxy Note forum. One last question. Do any of you stream online media through your galaxy note to bluetooth devices?
So I have my nice new GN2 and my nice couple month old Nexus 7 both sporting awesome NFC tech, but what to do with it? My first though was pairing them via bt and using the lte from my Note 2 over my college's sad excuse for a wifi system to power my N7 during the day. Then I though maybe auto establishing a tablettalk connection as well. Does anyone know of a way to program the two devices to automatically connect in such a way?

I know it is possible. I was talking to someone who uses Tasker and an NFC tag to automatically tether his N7 to his phone, but I've never studied the recipe.
I'm not sure why the tag, but maybe so he doesn't have to remove the phone from his belt... it's attached to his holster case. He said he has another one attached to his car seatbelt clasp to set the phone into his driving mode.
Wish I could give you more details.
Yeah that's essentially what I want to accomplish, but I'm not crazy about sticking one of those tags to my device. I was just hoping there was a way (with or without root) to make it read the NFC connection as a tag and start the connection.

I suspect that you would be able to, since NFC handles touch and go and touch and connect. I think the problem for some people would be in how strong the NFC connection is on their phone (some of them are weak) and how close together you need to get the two unitsto trigger it, especially if they are both in thick cases.
Putting them back to back could be as much work as just creating a widget to trigger a Tasker recipe that would do the same thing.
I've been thinking about doing this, too, but haven't, so I might start playing with Tasker to see whether I can set it up.
I'm going to do the same. Let me know if you discover anything

I own Blade II and I am not currently using it so I thought I could use it as Wifi HotSpot for my Gnex and nexus 7. I live in Poland and we have here carrier Aero2 which is providing free internet access, you are paying only for sim card around 6$ and you can use free 512Kbps internet, it only works on 900Mhz 3G towers but blade is supporting this frequency. I would like to use my Blade strictly as Wifi Modem only and I am wondering which is best ROM and Wifi Tethering software for such a use. I would like to have decent battery life and true wifi connection, not AD-HOC which is provided by play store apps. I tried to underclock CPU to around 300Mhz and I was ok with tether speed, but native wifi tethering in GingerBread is still battery hog. Is there any 3rd party software with non Ad-hoc hotspot and good battery consumption? Which is best rom for saving battery? Best thing would be modded android with modem feature only but i don't think there is anything like that. Thanks for help and greetings from Poland
Was wondering the same myself. Am planning to do the same at Christmas. Anyone got any tips?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
I'm gonna answer in two parts
1. For good battery life and memorable performance but lacking in eye candy, Swedish Snow is a clear favorite
2. There's an app called Wifi Tether for root users. The default setup method is ad-hoc but can be switched to master from preferences
ZTE Blade | Asus Transformer TF300T
Just a quick update if anyone is interested.
This Christmas I spent almost 3 weeks using the ZTE blade as a wifi hotspot for two mobile phones and a Windows 7 laptop.
I used cyanogen 10 and wifi tether for root users.
I had it plugged into an 11,000 mAh external battery pack so we could use it when out and about.
It ran a bit hot occasionally and on a couple of days the phones kept disconnecting (solved by reboot).
Upload speeds seemed a bit slow but apart from that it worked a charm.
AW: [Q] Best ROM for Blade as Wifi Hotspot only?
I planned to do the same. I would prefer cm 7 underlocked and the wifi tethering oft cm7.

How low would you underclock it to?

I think 320 is enough for tethering. What do you think?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I really haven't a clue, so any advice is appreciated. In any case, I find an external battery back more than adequate (when I do need to tether it is abroad in a cold climate, so I can keep it in a jacket).

I hope you can help me.
