[Q] PdaNet Tablet (beta) android to android with bluetooth

Has anyone else tried this app?
Im on tnt lite 4.4 and when I connect my gtab freezes.
I had the app working for a couple minutes at most.
Ive tried different browsers, but nothing, next I might try a different rom
and see if that works.
I have to try and use this app because I dont have root on my mobile yet.
Edit: i changed my rom to G harmony v2.4.
It connects but force closes on me, better then freezing up my tablet though.
Works for about five minutes, sometimes it doesnt want to connect at first either.
Edit: using cyanogenmod 7.0.3 this app works.
Currently connected to my mobile.
No freezing or force closes.
Here is the market description
This is a tablet version of the extremely popular PdaNet software. It allows you to share the Internet access of an Android device with another Android device through Bluetooth. You should install this application on both the tablet and the phone. Then run client mode on a tablet and server mode on a phone. No rooting required. Connection speed should be very fast if your phone has good data service. PdaNet works by setting the web proxy server on your tablet and route web requests to a Bluetooth DUN service. That means only applications that use web connections will work. On Honeycomb devices PdaNet supports Browser, Gmail and Map. For Android 2.2/2.3 devices PdaNet only supports the Browser app. We understand this solution is not ideal but it is really the only way to tether an Android tablet due to OS restrictions. This application is completely free and we hope it will be useful to you.

Tethered via WiFi is just one option but I think the whole point was to do it via Bluetooth.
I can't say for sure if BT has a better/stronger connection than WiFi, but it's something I've been yearning to find out.

I probably wouldn't use this if I could tether over wifi though.
This app is beta and on froyo and gingerbread you can only get internet on
Your browser app.
But it's free and I need to root my mobile.
I've been traveling and dont have a computer right now.

I saw it in the market on my Evo, but NOT on my Gtablet. How can I get it from my not rooted Evo to my rooted Viewsonic GTablet?

Can you backup your apps on your phone?
should be able to put it on your sdcard, then transfer it to your gtablet and install.

Just tried it, it pairs but does not connect via bluetooth. I'm rooted as well. From my understanding android had widespread issues connecting via bluetooth as a server/client to another android device.
Using an Apple or Windows based phone I have no issues.

I had the same problem, i would try it a couple of times to get it to connect.

I used this app on my gtablet and it worked just fine. running Bright Corners with the Clemnsys kernel.

Hi I have tried to get this pda net tablet to run on my gtab forever, it just wont connect to my unrooted dx runnining gingerbread. The best i can get is paired but no connection. I am running clemsyn kernel and cyanogen 7.1.0 rco.
Can anyone tell me how to get it running or suggest another program that will allow me to us my phones data plan that i am already paying for??
thanks in advance for any help !!

I don't suppose anyone knows if PDANet for iphone supports bluetooth? WIFI takes away WAYYYYY too much battery life.

[BUG] WiFi Portable Hotspot with Ad-Hoc supported ROMs

Hello everyone,
I just received my Asus Transformer (WiFi Only) and wanted to connect it to my Nexus S portable hotspot.
The Transformer found the hotspot network and even connected to it but I wasn't able to open web pages or even sync my google account.
I tested this on 2 Transformer units, Galaxy S II phone and a Nexus One (with CM7 which also can't generate a working hotspot network).
After several tests I've discovered every ROM that has Ad-Hoc support behaves the same - generate hotspot network that you can connect to but can't actually use. Also tested all WiFi tether apps on Market - all beacon ad-hoc networks, which Stock Android 3.1 can't find&connect to.
I tested all Ad Hoc supported ROMs: CM7 latest nightly, CM7.0.3 stable, MIUI latest, Oxygen and SupeAosp8.6. Finally flashed a stock 2.3.4 ROM and the hotspot feature worked perfectly. Also tested it on both Nexus S radios (KB3 and KD1).
Would love if someone can locate and fix this bug...
Probably something in the wpa_supplicant file or with DNS resolving.
Thank you!
EDIT: A solution for my specific issue - Will allow Ad Hoc support on the Transformer.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1093778
Still won't solve the main issue when you have to root and add Ad Hoc support for both devices.

I also encountered this problem.
What I did was download an App called: Wireless Tether for Root Users
I would use it anyway because it tracks data usage and enables security options.

Thanks for replying.
As I wrote in the OP, I've tried every WiFi tether app on the Android Market, including wifi tether for root users. All uses adhoc networks which stock Android devices can't see and connect to.

what solves it for me is adding dns host ip on the client computer
it works fine when you do that

I use PDAnet for tablets with my TF - it works really well. You can download it from the market.

You used it to connect your tablet to a hotspot network generated from your CM7/SupeAosp8.6, Oxygen or MIUI ROM?

Thanks, we did it as well on a Linux machine for testing but you can't set static IP on Honeycomb... at least not on stock version.

Regarding PDA for tablets, reading the app description on the Market I understand it uses Bluetooth sharing and not wifi tether. Also, it clearly says it only works for browser, email and YouTube apps. Hardly a solution.
I'll work with a Linux expert today to see if he can solve this. If so, I'll upload the files here.

Yes, I misread your op, hands up; I'm guilty as charged. However, you should perhaps be a little less dismissive of people trying to help you. Also it may have helped if you had posted your question to the correct thread in the first place (that's hardly difficult is it!).

LOL did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed today?
I REALLY wasn't trying to dismiss you... AT ALL!
Your solution will probably be great for many other people but as I mentioned in the OP, I'm looking for a specific solution for the WiFi tether, which is an option coming with stock Android and doesn't require users of any other apps or system knowledge.
As already mentioned, I'm working with a linux guy to check maybe he can make both things work - Ad-Hoc and stock Android WiFi Tether option.
If the XDA moderators think this should go into Q&A/General they can move it. I believe it should be here as it is relevant for all ROM developers here.

Google's WiFi Tether app

Has anyone been able to get any version (2.0.7 or 3.x beta) of Google's WiFi Tether app working on their rooted Droid Bionic? Link to app
It didn't seem to work for this guy at the end of the video: Link
For me tethering is critical for work and I don't want to activate my Droid Bionic (which is coming tomorrow) until it can be confirmed working. Will keep using Thunderbolt for now... I can also imagine this is a huge issue for many other users.
However, I am aware that Motorola devices need some kind of device profile in the "Change Device-Profile" option in the settings of that app, has anyone played around with that, maybe choosing the Droid X or other Droid?
Any feedback greatly appreciated...

I hope you find a solution soon, I also have the same problem

Don't bother until a custom ROM comes out that can "hide your ass".

Since it is for work, paying for the monthly tether should be a business expense.

I tried some of the work-arounds on the net... barnacle did not work for me... choosing the droid x profile in device setup at least showed my wifi hot spot, but I could not obtain an IP... I had also noticed errors about dhcp in the log.

exactly, in the mean time your going to be stuck using PDAnet and a USB cable.

Got it, rooted it, figured it out. Use version 2.0.7. Change the LAN option to 10.10.1.x
Also it only works in ad-hoc mode but at least its a start. I'm sure updates will fix it.

Woot! I don't own one but I am glad you got it going perhaps a screenie of some data transfer?
Also try this with the 3. beta if you don't mind

Can't get 3 beta to work at all but it doesn't offer anything other than ad-hoc mode also. Also doesn't show data going through on the app. But hey at least it works.

Can anyone confirm the 2.0.7 wireless tether working?

not working
2.07 not working for me even using the 10.1 network. clients fail to obtain an IP address.

Same problem here - wifi tethering not working...

The newest 3.x didn't work for me. Has anyone tried manually setting the client's IP/Gateway/DNS? I don't remember what the dhcp issued on my incredible, otherwise I'd go grab my laptop and mess around with different static settings.

It takes a long time I noticed. Wait for the little blue notification icon to appear that shows the device is connected. Can take as long as 3 minutes sometimes but it works for me I assure you. The key thing is the 10.10.1.x network which is still unblocked because VPN's can use that network, anything other than that won't work.

I can't get wifi tehthering to work but just using the phones built in usb tehering option works and does not send me to a page to subscribe for tethering. Don't know why this works but if I try the built in wireless tethering it says I have to sign up. EDIT Was working on launch day but tried again today and won't work so I guess the system wasn't updated the first day I tried it.

Hi,
I found way to enable Hotspot without Verizon Provisioning. I used SQLLite Editor to modify settings.db for "Settings Storage" application ( com.motorola.android.providers.settings ). Set entitlement_check to 0 and reboot the phone.

I just tried this. It appears to be working. I was able to connect and browse from my laptop. Now the question is, does Verizon still know I'm tethering even though I'm not paying to tether?

I second. Works for me a well, with no warning or pop up. Cudos to you my good man

Just did it and all seems fine so far.
btw, WOW. Ive never poked around the databases like that. Everything from the hdmi overscan to wifi info is in there. That is So cool.

Works for me too! However, only works properly with WPA security. If Hotspot is set to "open", you can connect but get no internet...

[Q] VPN \ OpenVPN connection issues?

Has anyone had any success using OpenVPN (or even the built in VPN function) with their HTC One? I've tried a couple different providers through both methods, and though I can successfully connect to the VPN, I can't receive data.
I currently have ViperROM\Bulletproof Kernel, so my next step is to flash to stock and see if I still have problems...but before I do that I was hoping to find someone confirm they've successfully used a VPN with their HTC One.
Thanks!

That's interesting...someone in another thread said theirs wouldn't work at all either. I'm getting my OTG cable so I can backup my phone today and wipe it and try from a fresh stock flash to see if that solves my problem.

Did anybody find a solution I am still having problems. I can establish a VPN connection with the vpn of our university it even tells me that packages are beeing sent and received. BUT once i am connected the internet stops working after a 30-60 seconds. I tried even 3rd party apps like vpn root I can't get it to work.
My build is Trickdroid 11.0 with elementalX Kernel 5.2 allthough I tried also installing 4.22 and 4.1 so the issue appears to be somewhere else. The connection is a pptp with encryption enabled. Pretty old fashion but this shouldn't be the problem, right?

(Q) Wifi Tether TrevE Mod problem

Hi guys, running a stock rooted rom and have been using TrevE mod to tether with and everything had been working fine. I decided to play with the different setup methods tonight. Out of curiousity I choose the native framework tether, which attempted to use the built in hot spot, which I kinda figured it would do and it of course failed. The problem now is that Ad-hoc will not work. Tried restarting phone, reinstalling app, even re-flashed my current rom and it still will not work. Its like choosing the native framework tether borked something up. Using the same settings I was using previously. Generic ICS/JB profile, adhoc setup and encryption. The encryption failes now too. So been trying without encryption and tried other profiles, but no luck. Short of installing a different rom, anyone have any ideas?

If it isn't broke, why fix it?

Lol, well it did allow me to figure out how to tether to my PS3, but yea I kinda wish I hadn't played with it as much. Knew it might cause trouble. Oh well, got OMJ's rom downloaded and will install tonight to see what happens.

im glad there was a recent thread with this issue, im currently having issues getting the tether app to work. it connects but it doesnt load any pages at all. have both profiles generic ics/jb waln0/wlan1, havent used all the channels yet but at least half of them, with wifi driver checked and unchecked, changed the IP and still no luck. Any ideas on what settings will work or if theres a new APK, i cant figure out what the problem could be. thanks

Well, I got my problem figured out. I was just an idiot. I ended up wiping everything and returning to stock, but my problem ended up being a wrong setting in wifi tether. I wasn't using auto for my setup-method, I kept manually selecting ad-hoc which was my problem. Oh well, it was a learning experience, now I now how to un-brick my phone if needed.

Are you rooted? Are you using the TrevE mod version of the wi-fi tether app? Here are my settings: Profile = Generic ICS/JB (wlan0), Setup method = Auto for PC use or I use Hostapd when connecting to my PS3 (usually have to reboot phone when changing), Channel = 1 and WiFI- driver reload checked. If you start tethering with these settings and you get a message from WiFi tether stating that it started with errors, you may need to reboot you phone, that always does the trick for me.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I can't get WiFi Tether working at all on my stock, rooted HTC One. I've used pretty much every combination of settings out there, and I've restarted, reinstalled, and tried several versions of the APK (including TrevE mod), but I always get the message that the tethering 'Started with Errors." When I check the log, pretty much everything fails, although the number of failures changes depending on my settings. The most common settings online are as follows, and these are what I've tried most often:
Profile: Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)
Setup Method: Auto
WiFi-driver reload: Unchecked
WiFi-driver reload 2: Checked
MSS Clamping: Checked
Routing Fix: Checked
Anyone have ideas? Much appreciated, as using WiFi Tether is honestly one of my favorite reasons for rooting!

I think I was able to get it working. Download the newest experimental version of wifi tether here (https://code.google.com/p/android-w...v3_4-experimental1.apk&can=2&q=label:Featured) WiFi Tether for Root Users 3.4-experimental1 *** EXPERIMENTAL ***
In settings, change the following:
Change Device Profile = Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)

WiFi-driver reload should be checked

That did it for me. Good luck.

I'm glad to hear you got yours running -- that's awesome! Unfortunately, none of the above worked for me. I had actually already tried that version, but I tried again for the heck of it (already had the APK in my downloads folder, so it was quick). Anyone else had this issue and gotten it resolved? I have software version 1.29xxx in case that's helpful.

I had it stop working for me too. I ended up doing a full factory reset without restoring anything to fix it
