Guest pauldarken Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Hi. Sorry if this is a bit basic but I'm a newbie to Android. I Just got my Transformer and was wondering if anyone has managed to tether theirs yet via bluetooth? I want to use the plan on my Blackberry but in all the internet trawling I have done I can only find software for a PC to blackberry or android phone. I can get them to see one another and transfer files but it says it's not connected (common issue I believe, hence needing specific software on the transformer and on the phone). Any help appreciated! Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help appreciated! Paul. I'm able to tether to my ZTE Blade android phone using the Wireless Tether app. AIUI the Transformer support the Bluetooth PAN (Personal Area Network) protocol but not the Bluetooth DUN (Dial-Up Networking) protocol so you need to ensure that whatever you are trying to connect to uses PAN.

Thanks Matchstick! I'll do a bit more research with that in mind. Nice to have a bit of direction :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bisto321 Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 (edited) Thanks Matchstick! I'll do a bit more research with that in mind. Nice to have a bit of direction :unsure: You will need to have a device that generates an 'Infrastructure Mode' hot spot. If it can do that (and not ad hoc) then you should be fine. Android has issues with ad hoc and I believe it requires a modified wpa_supplicant to be able to see them - My galaxy tab does. Android 2.2+ allows for the generation of 'Infrastructure' wifi points Bluetooth tether is not supported by all hardware the - app warns of this Reading your op again (Properly this time!) not sure about Blackberry tether!

Yep, Blackberry tether won't work! Thanks for all your help though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
