I have a Samsung vibrant with andriod 2.1 that i have rooted. I used to use barnacle to tether it to my laptop. Now, i know that asus can't connect with ad-hoc networks so i was wondering what Bluetooth tethering app people were using.
pdanet tablet version works.
I use an older version of wireless tether that still has bluetooth tethering on it, works great.
If you prefer wifi ad-hoc:
If you're rooted you can always follow this thread:

If not, you can root it with Prime 1.5 ROM that comes with the wpa_supplicant file needed for wifi ad-hoc.

is there any way to get my evo to tether to my Zune HD, I'm currently fully rooted and running baked snack v .8, planning on upgrading to v .9 when I get time. I just want to download songs on the go with my Zune, but when I use wirelesstether, no wifi hotspot is detected from my zune, yet it works with my laptop? Is this because the evo is being an ad-hoc network or something? or is it in AP-mode? Idk how to get my zune to see the evo at all...
Yeah i would like that too
Have you tried using the latest beta of Wireless Tether? It works differently than the one on the stable version
how/where do I get the beta version?

Also just checked it with my Zune HD and seems to work fine.
Yup, works here too! Thanks!
Zune marketplace mobile FTW!
Requires root I suppose.
Glad I could help And yeah, root required for Wireless Tether
Did not work for me
I ran into this same problem, part of the problem is the way wireless tether works (stable) and the way the Zune Works. Zunes do not connect to Ad-hoc networks, which is created when you use Wireless tether. Since im paying for wireless tether through sprint hotspot, i use that tool it creates a AP Network which the Zune will connect to. I did read that Wireless Tether will now have the ability to create an AP network, which will fix those issues.
The newest Wireless Tether works in infrastructure mode. My zune paired with my EVO just fine. I'm not rooted now though.
Also Wireless Tether is available in the market now too.
Updated my stock 2.1 DX today with new 2.2, rooted, loaded titanium backup, cleaned up some bloat and loaded wireless tether. All is good, the phone works great! Went to use wifi tether and hooks up great to laptop with full signal, but here the kicker, tether doesnt connect to 3g, so no internet. Any idea's?
Are you using the 3G mobile hotspot or a Tethering App from the market or something
I'm running Wireless Tether for Root Users 2.0.5-pre9.
I'm having the same problem. running the same version of wireless tether. I didn't remove any bloatware or anything, I just have the apps hidden using launcher pro, so basically stock. Worked fine before update.

I didn't know they had a DX working version, it doesn't show in their website. Is it ad-hoc or real wifi hotspot?
2.2 messes withe the settings. Try Barnacle. There is a extra setting it has for 2.2.

do you have access control enabled?
Yep I changed the access setting and no go. Then I removed it and loaded barnacle and had the same issue.
Barnacle worked for me on 2.1 but not on 2.2. What is this "setting for 2.2" that makes barnacle work?
Wireless Tether for Root (by Muller) works for me on 2.2. But the connection is very much hit and miss. I end up using Easy Tether (usb) 90% of the time. I wish I could find a way to keep the connection more stable. Bc wireless is just easier.
I seem to remember having to do something with my connection settings on my computer a long time ago to enable ad-hoc connections when I first started tethering on WinMo with the HTC tether. Sorry I can't remember now.
Having the same issue here with Barnacle after 2.2 update. =(
I just rooted my DX 2.2 and I'm using Wireless tether version 2.0.2 I downloaded this morning from the market and I'm using my iPad and laptop off of it right now. But barnacle isn't working for me tho.
I notice a lot of people are having issues. I'm not (on leaked 2.3.15) but I am on an older version... 2.0.2
I should be more clear, I'm on the ota release of 2.2 with the 2.0.2 version of wireless tether.
DL OTA, rooted with Droid 2, installed Koush Clockwork and Recovery, then installed Free Wifi Tether. Ran Speedtest at 1.1 M download. I'd say NPs here. Just my 2 cents
Used Barnacle with 2.1... up'd to the leaked 2.2 and Barnacle stopped working. Wireless Tether (from the market) works fine, but not if I'm using Access Controls (which seems to be the general state of that app right now).
I know I'm awfully late to the game, but if I root and tether like you guys are, Verizon can't tell? I won't get the extra charge for tether service? Sorry for the noob question.
Dear all,
Figured out how to ad-hoc connect via wifi. I guess it is NOT the Xoom's fault. It is the smartphone's fault.
This is according to my observation:
I had both stock non-rooted XOOM and stock rooted 2.2 froyo ATT Captivate.
I was unable to wifi tether because the ATT mobile AP message kept popping up saying that I needed to purchase a tether packed (No thanks).
I preferred the stock experience but finally went back to a custom rom (firefly) for the captivate. After installing the custom rom I can CONFIRM that I can connect via ad-hoc tether wifi via my captivate and Xoom!
I however, have not been able to bluetooth tether.
Anyways, I am returning my XOOM for the Asus transformer because it has the LED backlit screen and besides the $100 less price tag, it is identical.
Stock xoom here and rooted captivate using stock ROM and eXistz KB1 kernel.
I installed wifi teather found here: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
Had to play around with the settings and set Device Profile to Samsung captivate and setup-method to Softap for Samsung and now i can teather no problems.
Softap for Samsung is actually Infrastructure mode, not Ad-Hoc.
It works fine with wifi tethering on 2.3 roms. No issues on CM7
I have not been able to get this to work.
I have the Wifi Xoom 3.1 Stock ROM
Captivate Rooted with Continuum v4
firmware: 2.2.1
Kernal: 2.6.32.9
buildNumber: FROYO.XWJS8
Any Ideas? Or maybe a step by step guide? I am trying to get the BT Tethering to work.
Thanks,

Yeah I was doing this with my stock Xoom and CM7 Desire HD for ages. The problem was that an unrooted phone sets up an ad-hoc connection whereas in CM7 anyway it behaves as a router AP.
So does that mean I can't get my Xoom to tether to my Captivate via BT?

The Xoom CAN-NOT tether to Ad-hoc without being rooted and changing out the wpa_supplicant file. The Captivate has the ability to tether infrastructure mode (mobile AP isn't ad-hoc.) The wireless tether 3.x (softap) is much more buggy than the 2.x (ad-hoc) on most phones but it might work great on your captivate. If it keeps restarting or getting really hot like it did on mine, you could always root your Xoom and flash the ad-hoc fix in recovery (super easy.)
Here's the link
But that is Wifi Tethering or just setting my Captivate to be a Hot Spot.
I was more specifically asking about the Bluetooth tethering.
Has anyone been able to get this to work? I have seen numerous threads that say they got their Wifi only Xoom to BT tether to Droid X and others.
If I would need to flash my Captivate to another build I would easily. This is the only function I need to for my Xoom and I am completely content.
So I am asking if anyone has got the BT tethering to work... the Wifi Tethering or Hot Spot as you said does heat up the phone quickly, where my friend and his Droid X with BT tethering does not heat up noticeably.
Thanks in advance,
-Drokare
So if I root the Xoom and add the Ad-hoc fix, it would allow me to use the BT Tethering?
My phone is an HTC Hero cdma(sprint) that I rooted with z4root and cm7. 1. I tried almost every single version of the wifi tether app on the code Google website and none of them work.
My cm7. 1 has usb tether but not portable wifi hotshot. If anybody knows a way I would be really grateful.
The Hero only has Ad-Hoc wireless tether so your device may not be able to connect to Ad-Hoc networks and only infrastructure networks.

I'm running Wireless Tether v 2.0.7 on my CM6 Hero without problems.
Let me know if you can't find that version.
Doesn't CM7 have the native tether app in the CM config screens? I don't tether with my Hero but I will have to take a look at it when I get home. I know that I used to use wireless tether app routinely so the Hero will def tether just fine.
Cyanogen mod 7.1 has tethering via usb but not portable wifi hotspot. I may have to flash to cm6 see if it becomes available. Thank you for the responses ill post back after my attempt.
How can I enable WIFI hotspot on GingerDX? I run version 022. I tried to enable it using the quicksettings app, but that gives an error.
Barnacle Wifi Tether
Barnacle Wifi Tether works awesome for me. It's available for free in the market.
Xperia X8
Ginder Dx V022
Stock Kernel
With Barnacle, unfortunately, you can do only adhoc connetions and not wifi hotspot...
Thanks. I already knew about barnacle. But I read on the android changelog that wifi hotspot was included in android 2.2.
yeah, but in GingerDX only USB tether is available.
However, my collegue have Samsung S2 with Cyanogen 7.2 and je have WiFi tether perfectly working how adhoc and actual hotspot point for devices not adhoc ready.
