I imagined Wireless Tether would function a particular way but I had no luck.
I launched the app and the attempted to scan for wireless access points with my device, a PS3. The PS3 will not detect the phone as a wireless access point. Is this just the way it is or is it a limitation with wireless tether and/or the ps3?
thank you thank you
Since I don't know what the PS3 can actually connect to I will just say this. The wireless tether app runs ad-hoc. If your device can connect to ad-hoc networks then you can connect to it.
ive got the ad-hoc party on ps3, ima try that...thanks
edit: also, the wireless tether for root doesnt connect to wifi networks, only 3g data?
Thanks in advance.
There are detailed posts and instructions here for connectivity for my NC via tethering.
I thought I'd ask the opinions from users who've tried both techniques for connectivity via their cell phone.
I'm using a rooted Droid X, running Barnacle to create an adhoc wifi hotspot for use with my laptop already.
I'd like to be able to use my NC (CM7) by connecting through my phone as well.
The adhoc technique looks good, but the sleep issues and others make it appear a bit tricky.
BT sounds easier, but it looks like a very short connection range.
Opinions as to which you prefer?

Use this one __connectify.me (sorry i cant post link yet)
It make a vitural wifi with wpa2 network (not ad-hoc). It works so good that even my kindle can connect to internet through it.
Is this an app for my Droid X, or the NC?
Thanks!

Neither. It's for PC.
Hi folks, I write here because I have a problem with wireless tether and SenseDroid. The only way I've found to tether is via bluetooth but I can't us wifi to create an access point.
Could you recommend me a rom and a kernet where wireless tether works in my xperia?.
Thanks in advance.
Can anyone help me figure out how to enable internet sharing via bluetooth? I'm running a rooted phone. Wifi tether works fine now after rooting, but I still get the message stating I have to purchase a package if I want to use the bluetooth connection. Any ideas? Is there a rooted app that might bypass this? I'm trying to connect to the Parrot Asteroid car stereo using a bluetooth tether by using a rooted connection. I saw Open Garden, but it looks like both units need to connect to each other in order to work. I'm not sure if the Parrot can get Open Garden installed on it.
Hey folks seeing Verizon is screwing us with wifi tethering I need to find some kind of temp work around. My daughters school uses ipads for all their school books and work. With my S3 i would allow her to tether when we were in the truck to do her school work. I am trying to see if maybe bluetooth will work...i have tried a bunch of different apps without luck. I understand the limits of bluetooth but I need to find something...I appreciate any assistance.

I'm unable to get it to work either, at this point the paid version of FoxFi/PdaNet+ is fairly worthless. If you go to PdaNet website they give you instructions like it's going to work...not for me.
I haven't tried on an iPad, but I do use pdanet to Bluetooth to my desktop PC and then use the share internet connection to broadcast WiFi. It's definitely slower than straight WiFi tether, but it's a work around... So I can vouch that Bluetooth tether with pdanet does work, just remember you have to use pdanets client on your other device to connect. I also use the USB tether and it is by far the fastest connection, and again on the desktop I share the connection with Wi-Fi. And my desktop becomes the router.
Best of luck, and happy holidays.

Can you establish a BT Tether between your phone and a Tablet and then your tablet can connect to the internet?

I only have a galaxy tab 3 and it's running kit Kat, so unfortunately Bluetooth doesn't work with it, I can get it to work by enabling Wi-Fi tether on my old RAZR maxx HD, not in service, and connecting to the Wi-Fi, then use Bluetooth to tether to the tablet, unfortunately it's not that simple and a pain in the butt. That's why I just connect to my computer via Bluetooth and share its Wi-Fi connection.
Hope that answers your question.
