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!
Garrett
Neither. It's for PC.

Hi there, Can anybody help me? I have researched making my G1 a wireless tether for my laptop and d/l from code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether. However the youtube clip shows a laptop with bluetooth which I don't have! Any suggestions? Many thanks!
PDA-NET app is a great way to do it if your phone is not rooted, look for it in the marketplace its free
Wireless tether doesn't have to use bluetooth, it can send wi-fi. It's in the settings.
Hi, my phone is rooted! Can you suggest any walkthroughs for wifi setup not bluetooth? Many thanks!
Wifi Tether Walkthrough:
1. Download Wifi Tether for Root Users
2. Run it.
Before i unlocked and flashed my Nexus one, it was enough to connect my Nexus one via USB to my Laptop to use laptop internet connection.
The first time i did it, Windows installed a bridge network.
Now that i am using a customer ROM (CYA 5.5.0.3), it does not work anymore.
Any idea if it is removed from the custom ROM, or if i need any kind of menu to make it to work?
Thanks in advance
Cedric
any taker?
i cannot be the only one that is interested in this basic function?

Have you tried the Wireless tether application? It does the exact same thing as USB tether, but wirelessly:

Reading fail
He wants to share the PC's connection with the phone, USB tether and Wifi tether are for sharing the phones connection with the PC.
i have same requirement. because 3g signal in my N1 is very unstable. wifi as is. so i have only connect to internet via notebook. This is the biggest problem of my N1.
did anyone ever figure out if this is possible?
Anyone here with a cr-48 been successful at connecting with a wireless tether app with the captivate? I am having trouble getting it to work.
I cannot get my CR-48 to connect to my DINC either, I am running Cyanogen 6.1 with the wireless tether. So I would like to know if you have found anything regarding this situation.
lucky bastards.. i'd love one of those..
Anyone have some luck on this?
Yeah, I have a droid eris rooted running a cyanogen mod rom and an unable to get the wireless tether to work on my cr-48 either. It connects to my ipad just fine so I'm assuming it is the computer. Though thinking about it, I had issues connecting it to my other laptop running linux (ubuntu 10.10) so maybe it is something in the linux build.
I think it's because wireless tether uses adhoc. I have read that people can get it to work through usb, but that is no fun. I am trying it on a Droid X. I submitted a bug feedback asking Google if the CR-48 supports adhoc and if that is the issue.
i am currently using my cr48 via the wireless hotspot app on my htc desire - leedroid v2.2f - connects without a problem but i don't have 3G in my area so it's very slow.
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.

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.
