ok so im getting the nook this afternoon (if ups comes through) and ive been thinking one big compromise i made over the galaxy tab was 3g. I would love to use this in places other than the ones with wifi. I have an HTC heroC and the wireless card does not support being a wireless hotspot, so i am forced to use apps like barnacle wifi teather but the speeds are horrible. Now that we have BT working on the nook (thx devs!) could i use PDA net's "Bluetooth teather" option to tie my nook to my phones 3g?
The bluetooth isn't working on the nook. (the hacked roms have it barely working)
The only thing you can do is connect it thru wifi. I've got a Motorola Cliq and can turn my phone into a wifi hot spot that my nook can access.

Actually this is completely incorrect. CM7 roms have it working relatively well. I cann get about 6 feet of distance with it now so if your holding your nook and your phones in your pocket I dont see why it wouldn't work.

HI,
Sounds like some people have a non-user friendly method of getting Bluetooth
tethering running from Nook Color running CM7 to cell phone via bluetooth.
Haven't tried it myself yet. See these threads in developer section:

Not to mention that the absolute last way CyanogenMod should be referred to is "hacked."
I'm still on CM7 19 and bluetooth is working well! However, I have not gotten BT tethering working at all (haven't tried much, bcuz wifi works well for me). Wondering why you get such bad speeds via WiFi tether? I have an OG Droid and I get good speeds.
I suggest trying out Wifi tether first and see how it works.
I'm hoping someone can answer my related question here about my phone.
I currently have the Samsung Moment, and no matter what ROM I use for my NC, I can't get it to see my tethered connection in the Available Networks.
My NC can see my friend's tethered connection on his HTC Touch Pro 2, and Nexus One, so I have a feeling it's got something to do with my phone.
Anyone with experience with the Samsung Moment--do you have any input as to a ROM that might make this work?
Thanks in advance.

Most of the NC ROMS do not support Ad-hoc wifi networks right off the bat. If you're not sure if you have an ad-hoc network or not, try and tether your phone to your computer and you should be able to tell on there. If it is an ad-hoc issue, follow the instructions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868354
I too have a HTC HeroC and both it and my Nook are running CM7, AOSP build for the phone and Phiremods build for the nook. I have no problem using Wireless Tether to use my phone as a hotspot, I do so just about every day at work to brows the internet on lunch, speeds have been fine, can watch Youtube stuff and listen to internet radio just fine.
I use Wifi Tethering for Root Users on my Epic and it works great with my NC.

Hi I was wondering if there is an app or a program for my phone or computer or maybe some settings that will make barnacle faster or speed up my 3g connection. I am using my moto dx to provide wifi to my laptop then networked the connection to a wireless router to provide internet to my wii and stream netflix.....needless to say it buffers alot and if I try to play games it boots me out of the game and I have to start over. So if there is something that can at least stabilize my connection so it is dancing arourn from 0kb/s to 1100 that would be bad ass!!!!!!! Kind of a newb here so lamance terms are good. lol using barnacle and wifi tether
A g1 isn't exactly the faster running of phones, id make sure everything I can turn off is off. You can try another app too. And if all else fails the g2 can be perma root and run a wifi tether

Um.....my phone is a Motorola droid x rooted running barnacle and wifi tetherjust looking to make the net go faster the phone is plenty fast and capable of 3-4 megabytes per second but the speed is no where near stable I just want to keep the speed stable
oohhh i assumed you had a g1 since your in the g1 forum lol my bad. ive used wireless tether and have had no issues on all my androids so far. pandora plays great, no breaks
heres the link http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Yeah I goofed up and put it in the g1 forum. Anyway I have used wifi tether also and pandora works fine for me too.......I was just currious if any one knew of an app to make things go faster for streaming movies
Would anyone know why the NC won't browse web over wi-fi via Sprint 4G? [Edit to add: This appears to be an Evo-specific issue.] NC over 3G works fine with both Wireless Tether and the Sprint Hotspot feature on the Evo. You would think wi-fi is wi-fi and it wouldn't make any difference whether it was 3G or 4G, but it does--the 4G radio won't let the NC browse web.
It's not just my setup, because I'm aware of at least one other report of this issue--in another forum.
I have tried Nooky Froyo and stock 1.01 and 1.1 NC's I have also eliminated my local Sprint Wimax antenna and environmental RF interference as the cause by trying to browse in more than one location in my city. Also tried more than one NC. I'm running EVO's 3.70.651.1 from December.
Thanks for any pointers.
Works fine for me, but I'm using an Epic, not an Evo. Have you tried using another device to make sure that your 4G connection is actually being shared properly? Keep in mind that you have to enable 4G, then turn on Wifi Tether.

Just tried your order of events. Still fails. It works as soon as you turn the 4G radio off and go back to 3G. I'm aware of one other Evo with the same problem. Your success with another device leads me to believe you're right it's an issue with the way the Evo is handling the requests.
Does anyone know what the difference is between WiMax 4G and EVDO 3g in an IP sense? Where could it hiccup?

Do you mean like a laptop on the same software/hardware wi-fi connection? If so, yes laptops work fine. It's just the Nook Color that doesn't.
Try updating wifi tether to the latest version if you haven't.
3g and 4g uses different IP addresses and interfaces (while 2g and 3g use the same radio interface and IP, which is why you can go back and forth and your file transfers won't get interrupted), this is probably the real cause of your problem. You may have an old version of Wifi Tether that doesn't enable IP masquerade on the 4g interface.
Same problem here. My PC connects fine via WiFi tether on 4G to my EVO and at good speed. My NC stalls when connected to my EVO via wifi tether on 4G. Also speedtest app is slow on dl.
I have the latest version 2.0.6.

I'm running 2.06 which is the latest I believe. This issue also exists using the Evo's Hotspot feature with a paid Sprint account add-on. I'm able to establish now that this is Evo only.
I tested this after reading your post. I am using CM6 w/o WIMAX, so had to nandroid restore Warm. I started 4G, then wireless tether. I tethered the NC to my Evo on 4G for about 15 minutes and it worked fine. Web pages loaded fully. Perhaps this short test is not too helpful, but I get crappy 4G service in my house.
When I was using the VaelPak ROM about a month ago, whenever I used 4G the browser (Dolphin HD and stock) on my phone would only load part of the web pages. This sounds similar to the issue that you are experiencing on the NC. Vael didn't have access to 4G, so couldn't isolate the problem (other VaelPak users had apparently reported similar issues).

Thanks for testing and reporting. 15 minutes is plenty of time for 4G to freeze the browser, so that test indicated a successful session. What is Warm? Is it a ROM? Your second test with VaelPak ROM echos other tests where 4G/NC won't work. The Evo stock ROM doesn't work, for example.
Using Shinzul & Toast's Gingerbread 4g alpha 3 rom for the EVO, I can tether and browse on the Nook over 4g just fine.

Yes, Warm is a popular Sense-based ROM. See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793471
Just to be clear, I did not test tethering the NC with the VaelPak ROM. I was just noting that I had experiences similar to the one you are describing while using that ROM on my phone -- the browser on my Evo would stop halfway through webpages when using 4G with that ROM.
It seems somewhat logical that the issue is ROM (or kernel?)-related, but it seems odd that you have success tethering everything other than the NC on 4G.
My nc connects perfectly to my evo on 4g using evio 1.8 rom from calkulin. I'm also using wireless tether, but i have had no issues.

Thanks, I can see I am going to have to try a different ROM on the EVO. However, I wonder how the NC treats internet that's different to how a laptop does? Why does everything else browse web OK on all the ROMS but not the NC?

Do you by chance have the AdFree app installed (root only) or a hosts file on your Evo that blocks ads? After trying to use 4G on various ROMs recently, I realized that AdFree was causing my web pages to to load only part way. I looked around the web and found that at least a few people were having similar issues, and they isolated the problem to AdFree. After reverting the hosts file and uninstalling AdFree, my 4G web surfing was noticeably better.
I like not seeing ads, but would rather have a functional 4G. Just thought I would share in case this might be your issue.

Hello everybody..I have weirdest question, weirdest because it seems nobody asked it before, which means I'm blind or dumb or both not to know. I just gave away new Archos 70 after ten days, not being happy with speed and such and exchange it for Galaxy Tab. So my only experience with Android comes from those 10 day with Archos, still it seems so intuitive. How do I get the Tab online?
I mean, I have one of those without 3G module and public wifi sux so it's obvious to have your tablet/PDA connected to your mobile phone over bluetooth, isn't it? Where is this tethering option which I used on Archos?
Nothing, really? Do you all have a 3G module equiped model..? Maybe I should exchange it one more time.:-/
Not sure why ppl get the wifi version, when it is so much fun to use the SGT as a phone and tab.
The only option you have with current tab is to run with wifi thru AP's or hotspots.
I would exchange for the 3G version if you have the banana's
Thanks, StarLog. Well, honestly, wifi version is way cheaper here, but that's not the only reason. I definitely do not plan to use it as a phone, I have my phone already and this is tablet. I am not going to carry it with me on every step as I do with my phone. Also, I already have data plan with my provider, why should I buy a second one especially when providers here do not mind at all? And bluetooth data connection is very common thing, I just can't believe it is not available with Galaxy.
Why bluetooth and not wifi ? Tethering is working fine. All you have to do is activate the mobile hotspot on your phone then connect the tab to it. I tried with a gsm gtab and a htc hd2 with android.

Actually, I don't use my tab as a phone, bt I do want the always on experience, opting me to go after the 3G one. For the hotspot, you can root your tab, and then grab the wifi tether app.

I have a very strange problem with my Droid 3 XT862. I've owned it for about a month and right after purchase I rooted and did the TBH radio hack, which worked like a charm. As of last week, though, my wireless tether no longer works. I have tried the built in Mobile Hotspot, Wireless Tether for Root Users, and Barnacle. The only thing that happens is that my computer connects to an unidentified network and will not truly connect to the internet. After this began to happen, I reapplied the TBH hack, but it is still not working. I read around the forums a little bit and heard about CM7 not requiring the hack, so I safestrapped and flashed to it, but the wireless tether still does the same thing. Is there anything I can do to fix this? PDANet still works, but it drains my battery insanely fast.
My XT862's cdma network is not working.
3g and 1x are all wrong.
I can't use them.
but the wifi works correctly.
I flash some roms which downloaded from internet, but 3g and 1x still not work
Is there anything I can do to fix this?

it worked. read below.
did you did something? like trying androidtether?
well i dont know how tethering works. but usually i have seen that tether shares a adhoc network. in the case of the droid 3, it makes an infraestructure network, like having a router.
well while trying the androidtether app in Gingerbread, (which i imported from ICS build, dumb me i know) (in ICS creates i think an adhoc because kerner dont allow native tether) well when i tried that it BROKE my tethering capabilities. i think it switched an internal chip and is not solved by reloading the software software.
summarizing. after 2 SBF and seeing it didint corrected the issue, i installed varios market alternatives including the official ANDROIDTETHER en market, setup and loaded each one of them (barnacle too). the last one was ANDROIDtether. i think this one did the trick, as after not working i uninstalled everything and retried the native one. and it worked.
now i can tether
hope it helps.
I recently picked up a Nook HD+ and I put verygreen's native emmc CM 10.1 on it and it runs absolutely awesome. I have this build cm-10.1-20130801-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-emmc.zip on it.
Last night I was at work and I was trying to tether it to my stock (rooted) Motorola Photon. I usually run android-wifi-tether to hook up my laptop for some wifi but the nook would not even see the wifi signal.
So I decided to give the bluetooth tether a try and aftr I paired them and ticked the check box on the nook to use it for an internet connection I was surfing away on 3G with no issues.
Well 4G is limited in my area (Sprint) but I only get it at work. So I sync up my nook to my phone and turn on 4G on my phone and while everything looks good I cannot get an internet connection on the Nook. Internet works just fine on my phone in 4G but nothing on the nook. If I turn 4G off the Nook connects to the internet just fine.
So odd...... does anyone have any ideas that can help?
Anyone have any ideas? I have searched and searched and come up blank.....

After I first run cm11, I come across this bluetooth problem the same as you. But when I reboot my HD+, ths tether return to normal.
I don't mean to introduce any more trouble, but why not upgrade your version of CyanogenMod to CM 10.1.3 stable from: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=ovation&type=stable
The stable version should be capable of pairing bluetooth seamlessly; just ensure you install CM10.1.3 and NOT CM 10.2. If you install CM10.1.3, you'll be on the same version of Android, and you won't need to reinstall Gapps. Plus a few users stated that they ran into bluetooth pairing issues with CM10.2.1.
Of course, if you want to upgrade to CM10.2.1 you can do; it's your choice. If you do, make sure you install the correct Gapps version.
All the best. Please let us know if installing a stable build solves your problem.
