What is the differences between aNetShare and Wireless Tether for root users?
Which i better and why?
None, both as good as eachother.

Well i use wireless tether for root, simply because i want to use bluetooth tether,
Notice: Bluetooth tether only works on 2.2 roms.
Always its online,
only using battery when im connected,
awesomeness, i think
And if you want to use the wifi part of it, the big plus of WTFRU over ANetShare, is the access controll, set it up once, and thats it, on ANetShare you need to accept the client every time you use it. With WTFRU thats not the case.

I have a pc installed in my car, and rather than use usb tether i wanted to tether via bluetooth. Its not like the 1mbps BT connection is gonna bottleneck my data connection.
Anyway the only kernel that iv found to support this is the one posted by google with the wireless tether app.
Is there a better kernel that supports this?
With only 3 days using other kernel and bluetooth tether i simply cannot cope with the speed difference compared to Cyano
BUMP
Is there any way to add this feature to a current Kernel or does it require a certain amount of coding knowledge
I'm looking to understand what options exist for tethering the NC to a phone for data. I believe the only method currently supported is by creating an ad-hoc wifi network using software on the phone, and joining this network from the NC.
I have a Blackberry 9700, which cannot be setup as a wifi hotspot. With the release of CM7 build 17, it sounds like Bluetooth works (with limited range). My phone supports Bluetooth tethering because I've set it up with my Windows 7 laptop. I'm curious to find out whether this will be possible with the NC as well.. if not, what other options are there for getting online with my NC (besides having to purchase a phone that has hotspot capability). I used to use PDANet with a Palm Treo back in the day.. I'm also not opposed to physical cable-tethering if this is a possibility.
Thanks in advance.
I would like to know this as well. My Evo is not rooted and I'd like to keep it that way for now, so my only options are PDAnet via physical cable and bluetooth (which I can utilize on CM7 but it breaks wifi) or Easytether (physical).

So are you confirming that you've got Bluetooth tethering working with your phone using CM7? Does the build break wifi permanently, or is it only during BT tethering?
Haven't tried it yet but now that you mention it.. I'm going to try it!
Excellent, can't wait to hear the results..
Will pair, won't connect
Well, that takes that option out of the running. I really prefer a physical connection though, and so far, I haven't seen any micro-micro (assuming this is because of power requirements anyway).
Even with the phone right next to the NC? That's disappointing.. by micro-micro, are you referring to the type of USB cable needed? I don't have the device yet, so I'm not sure what kind of connections it has available. Tethering over BT is the last feature I'm waiting for before pulling the trigger on this bad boy. I plan to use it as a removable CarPC (using my phone for data and an external Bluetooth receiver for GPS).
Yup right next to it. Now, I've seen some guys report that GPS works though via bluetooth and I plan on trying that next (need to charge my BT receiver.. hope the battery still works!). They said you needed a GPS app to fix your location though.
As for micro-micro, yep USB. But then we would probably need a client side app to be able to recognize that kind of connection.
And wifi seems broken with BT ENABLED (not on, just enabled).. going to revert.
Thanks for doing all that testing. Let me know how the pairing goes with your GPS receiver.. if you get that working, you would need GPS software that has all of the maps built-in (since Google Maps, etc, requires a data connection).
My primary use for the NC will be as a car PC, so the only thing holding me back is the Bluetooth tethering with my Blackberry (uses the Dial-Up Networking feature set).
I've been hoping to BT DUN working for my BB 9700 also. At the moment it appears that ppp needs to be enabled in the kernel for this to work. When I run pppd from the comand line it complains about ppp missing from the kernel.
It looks like the pppd program is being compiled with the CM7 build and that the ppp modules can be found in the kernel sources so there is hope. We could ask to have it added as a dynamic module but I not sure how to go about making the request. (I am a noob to the forums and not allowed post in Dev and there may be a another way to make requested that is preferred in any case. )
I also found this program that claims to set up a BT DUN connection via ppp and it does run without faulting on my NC:

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I found a post in the developers forum where someone asked how to do the same thing. The link in the response discusses how to get Bluetooth GPS and WiFi tethering to work, but it does not mention Bluetooth tethering to a phone. Unfortunately, I don't have enough posts under my name to respond to that thread, but I've subscribed to it in the hopes that someone else will point it out..

Same same same same.
Unrooted Evo and although I am having fun with all the great things we can do to our NC's I am really not ready to root my Evo just yet. Having that phone with me is the only reason I am able to walk away from my keyboard at all and just because you can doesn't mean you should.
I run Fedora on my laptop and can tether to my Evo using Azilink and USB cable without a problem but if I wanted to drag my lappie everywhere then the NC wouldn't be any fun atall!
Weird is when we can pair the Evo and the NC via Bluetooth (yes a few inches apart right now) but neither one wants to do the actual connection. The message pops up on both Evo and NC asking to acknowledge the "secret" code and what else to do but say yes to them both. Then they both try and fail to connect.
I guess there is a fix for AdHoc on CM7 but I am not sure how to get the unrooted Evo to create an AdHoc network for the NC to connect to. If anyone has that answer can you let us know? I will keep searching as well.

I am unable to get the Wireless Tether to work, maybe something with my wireless card, but are there any working USB tethering apps?

In the settings of the WiFi tether app, enable "Routing fix" and it should work. It's necessary for HTC devices.
I can connect to it but Windows 7 is constantly sitting there saying 'Identifying' but I can never get internet.
I tried it on my Lenovo, as well as a Sony Viao.
I enabled Routing Fix as well.
Any ideas?
What version of the wireless tether app are you using. Try using different versions.

I've had this issue too but mostly with AOSP roms with built in wireless tether apps. I see you asked for a wired tether app so heres one http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/downloads/list I know this works with CM7 cause I use it from time to time
A wireless tether app that worked for me is called "A Wifi Tether AP Mesh Client" made by Open Garden, Open Source. Worked every time for me.
I'm running the most recent stock rooted, that wired tether app does not work for me.
I would also like an app that works
Yes, I use an app called easytether (well I used to, before I rooted), its easy to set up and works great. Unfortunately I think it was removed from the app store as were the other usb tethering apps, but you can just go on 4shared and download it, and the app will tell you what to do from there

I have used both wireless and wired tether that is built in to CM7 with success, every time I have used them. You should give them a try.

I like PDANet, its free unless you need to use it for secured logins, vpn, ect.
Just Google wired tether made by the same people as wireless tether and if u can't find it there look on 4shared.com

Rooted, runny SynergyMod (Android 2.3.4), I was able to get Open Garden to work. Free in the market.
I'm using pda net without an issue.
For wired tether I use easytether pro
For those having problems with wifi tether....There is a trick to getting wifi tether to work. Turn wifi tether on and wait 5 seconds. Then turn wifi tether off. Once it stops, immediately turn it back on. Then connect to "androidtether" in your PC's wireless manager.
Enjoy
I ran across this thread looking for wireless apps, so I'll just say that barnacle works just fine (rooted Thunderstick GB 1.5)

The OP was asking for wired ones though
That being said, the wired tether app with cm7 works just fine for me.
Here's the situation.
Phone: LG Rumor Touch.
Yes, it's a complete crap phone with J2ME. It however, has pretty awesome Bluetooth. Unlimited Data.
Tablet: Streak 7 ofcourse.
Can't do anything with above phone unless an app is designed for that purpose. Plenty of file transfer apps, but, alas...
I want to leech internet off my phone so I can browse the web when on the road. I'm only ever without a hotspot when I'm stuck at Rite Aid for three hours while my mom is shopping (the perks of being the only unlicensed 18 year old). It'd also help so I could use the tablet as a replacement for my sister's tomtom when we go long distance (2 inch resistive screen? I might as well use my Rumor!).
Any tips or app recommendations?
Does the rumor have wifi?
It does not. It has Bluetooth and USB, and when usb connected to my PC, I can use it as a modem, but without buying a dock for the streak, that wouldn't be a viable solution.

If your phone's rooted, install this:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
It'll let you tether over bluetooth.
So far as I know, you can't root a Java phone, but thank you.

Thought it was a MyTouch Android phone; reading comprehension fail on my part.
I don't know if the LG Rumor Touch provides Bluetooth data access via DUN (Dial Up Networking) or PAN (Personal Area Network) profiles, but there is an app on the Market Place (Nook Color Bluetooth Tether) that will enable a PAN Bluetooth profile on some Android devices. It is intended for the Nook Color, but it may work on the Streak7 also. You will need to root your Streak in order to try it out.
Streak's already rooted, I'll give that a go.
bluetooth tethering
I'm curious too.
Running stock 2.2.2 rom (rooted) on DS7 (wifi only), I tried tethering with htc vogue running winmo 6.1 and htc vogue running cm7, no go. I tried using pdanet (both on ds7 and htc vogue cm7) nook color tether, and android wifi thing. No go.
Any solutions would be awesome.
Wifi is a battery drainer. Bluetooth much better as far as battery conservation.
thanks.

I might give this a try... but
1) This tethering program seems to be over WiFi not Bluetooth?
2) What build are you all using with a good Bluetooth stack?
but on my DS7 w/Honeycomb just power cycles on off...
when I click
Bluetooth
Turn on Bluetooth
it says "Turning On..." (grayed out) & then just cycle's back like it's off.
I might have to wait for a new build of HC

The app does bluetooth and WiFi (it's in the settings). If you want a stable ROM, either stay stock or use something like this (I use it pretty much just to have the black notification bar). DJ_Steve's HC port is an amazing feat, but it's still really buggy (mainly due to it coming from devices completely different than the S7).
Has anyone found a solution to data tethering the Streak 7 to another device via bluetooth?
I've got a Blackberry that will allow tethering over bluetooth, but the Streak 7 (T-mobile 4 G with stock ROM) doesn't have the proper bluetooth stack to do DUN. And it doesn't "connect" to the BB anyhow (although it pairs, and when paired I can send contacts to the Streak from the BB just fine).
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.

Thx for the replies...i got the pdanet work around to work. Just gonna be a pita to use the laptop....argh! But it does work with pads and my nexus 7...i just keep saying it is only temp because the devs are working hard to exploit this.
