Tethering Tablet to Phone - Eee Pad Transformer General

My phone is rooted, Atrix 4G, and I have tried using barnacle tether and wifi tether and I cannot connect to my TF.
How do I do this?
I understand it uses an AD-Hoc connection the tablet can use so maybe bluetooth or a hack?

The TF will need to be rooted for this method.

I have no problem with wifi tether, its a true infrastructure network. Barnacle uses an ad-hoc network and the TF will not connect to that without the work above.
What kind of problem did you have with wifi tether?

I can easily connect to my rooted Nexus One running CM7. I just run the built in tethering and connect.
What ROM are you running? Try the built in tethering if you have it. I didn't have any luck running the market tethering apps.

I have a rooted Droid and am able to wireless tether via Bluetooth with no problem. I also understand that I can't wireless tether via wifi because the TF won't except ad hoc wifi, which is what Droid creates.
What I would like to know is if I can wire tether. I bought a 2.0 USB to micro USB with a 2.0 female to female adapter and using a wired tether app on my Droid. The TF doesn't see anything, doesn't even recognize it's connected to a USB.
Any thoughts?

I just set my HTC Desire to be a wireless hotspot and my TF connects to that just fine !?

I believe this is because your phone creates an infrastructure wifi whereas the Droid is only capable of creating an ad hoc Wifi. That's why I would like to know if wired tether is possible since it would be much faster than the Bluetooth tether.

Wifi Tether 3.0-pre 14 **Experimental**

This was my only solution. I'm using my rooted Cyanogen Nexus S 4g with my unrooted TF

Wondering if BT Tether will work?

I have an original Droid as well, rooted, using wifi tether. It creates an ad-hoc wifi connection. To enable the TF to connect to ad-hoc you have to follow the instructions in the thread I linked to above, this will allow the TF to connect to an ad-hoc wifi connection. The TF will need to be rooted to accomplish this.
If your TF is not rooted, you will have to install Wifi Tether 3.0 pre-14 (http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list) on your rooted phone and enable Bluetooth tether. Then go into your Bluetooth settings on the TF and Pair to your phone.

PS3 and wifi to Sprint Hero

hi.....
I have been trying to establish a wireless connection with my PS3 Slim
I had a HTC Diamond with wifi tether...before my Sprint Hero..
I have rooted my hero.. and now running tether wifi.
they both act the same....
my laptop can see and use wifi
my Tivo can see and use wifi
But my PS3 Slim (purchased in November 2009)
The PS3 can see other wifi in the area... but not the cell phone tethers
does anyone know.. why or can give me a guess?
thanks...
PS3 needs to connect to an Access Point, Wifi Tether only creates an ad-hoc network as far as I can see.....

I did ot think that it made a difference to the device.. because.. it sees it as a connection point..
you can only connect with a local wifi network or via ethernet

Wireless tether in AP Mode?

Hello, am wondering if there are anny possibility for Wireless tether in AP Mode
On the DHD?
The htc hospot app is adhoc right? is so i need Wireless Tether for Root on my DHD to be able to share internet with my tablets? but is there a Wireless Tether for Root that workes with DHD?
//Thsnk
Why doesn't the HTC Wi-fi Hotspot app do the job? It makes your DHD into a wireless router by sharing your 3G internet connection via wi-fi. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWYIdr41bAo
I agree with the above post. The hotspot feature is painless.

[Q] Infrastructure wifi connection sharing or bluetooth?

I have an Asus Transformer Android tablet, and expected to be able to use WMWiFiRouter to connect to the Internet until I get an Android phone in the next few months.
Only the Transformer can't see or use ad-hoc connection sharing from a phone or anything else for that matter. Bluetooth is greyed out on WMWiFiRouter and isn't even an option on ICS. Android phones share through infrastructure WiFi, not ad-hoc.
There is no host USB port at this time, so those two methods are my only way of getting Internet to the tablet.
Anyone know of a way to get infrastructure WiFi from an Imagio, or turn on the bluetooth connection sharing? PDANet also doesn't have the bluetooth option on this phone.

Sadly our tattoo can't tether over WiFi in infrastructure mode (the "normal" wireless mode which is used by WiFi routers and access points). I've been told it's because of limitations with tatto's wireless adapter firmware. This means that you can only tether over WiFi in adhoc mode, that is a mode created for wireless networks that don't have a central access point or a router. This kind of network is normally NOT seen from PCs, tablets and most WiFi devices out there. There are some ways to make PCs "see" the adhoc network, but there's no chances with tablets and other "dumber" devices. Instead it's possible to use adhoc networks with most rooted android devices. If you want to use tatto to tether the connection with an unrooted android tablet it's better for you to use the bluetooth option from wireless tether (but I bet that barnacle have it too). It seems to work seamlessly (at least on Motorola Xoom and Asus Transformer).

However, to tether with a PC, the most reliable way is to plug the USB cable both into the phone and into the PC, and finally start USB tether from the "Wireless & Networks" section in the main menu. This way the PC sees the tattoo just like an usb ethernet adapter. It works perfectly on both windows and linux.

I have a rooted tattoo with nFinityGB 1.11. I also use Wireless Tether. I just can't see the network when I do wifi tether on both PC and tablet. Instead it works good with tablet via bluetooth. I've never heard about someone being able to create an infrastructure network for tethering on tattoo. How do you do?
