[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sk90:
I have an hd2 and i would like to have cyanogenmod 7 on it. I have tried many ways but it has not worked. I have magldr 1.13. when i try to use clockworkmod by hitting boot ad sd, it gets stuck on the 'htc' screen. so i cant install cm7 using zip. also, when i go to usb mass storage on magldr, when i try to put cm7 on my phone, the computer and phone freezes.

But it has not worked. I don't know if it is a problem with my phone.

Can someone explain the easiest way to install it? I've had cyanogenmod 6.1 before by using DAF.exe and that way was easy. I'm a total noob so please, when explaining, pretend you are trying to explain it to your grandma lol.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jdcream123:
Get clockwork mod 3.x.x.x and load cm7 that way. There are many videos on youtube that help explain how to do it
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
Reading the instructions help.

Also when asking for help its common sense to explain which ROM you are trying to flash and how you are trying to do it and what you have tried so far etc. Otherwise you waste time as then you will have to also answer these questions before getting any sort of specific help to your issue.

I have a droidX, and was syncing the two devices to push a file across them when I saw bluetooth tethering... it works flawlessly. I never even heard about this during all the "screw the data plan, I'll wifi tether my tablet" hoo-ha.

Basically: sync up a phone with the tablet so they see each other.

Then go into bluetooth settings on the Xoom: settings > wireless and networks > bluetooth settings > paired devices > (YOUR PHONE)... and click the wrench icon. There's a tether option right there sitting in broad daylight... no need to even have a rooted handset I guess?

works great for me.

baller status.
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
Cool! That's great for those of us with OG Droids who can't use infrastructure mode.

I'm curious though. If I'm tethering via bluetooth, will I simultaneously be able to use my bluetooth headset with the XOOM, or my Droid for that matter?
[Xoom General] rquellet:
Good lord! This actually freaking works! I'm typing this post from my Xoom that is bluetooth tethered to my droidx. Thank you google for this crazy easter egg :-)
[Xoom General] rtc1036:
Ok, I may be dumb and not really familiar with bluetooth, but can I get some help with this? I've got them paired, but how do I get them to connect?
[Xoom General] epik151:
so does this mean anyone with a smartphone data plan should not need the pLAN for xoom?

I dont see a tether option.

Same with me, paired but not connected.

Verizon fascinate.
[Xoom General] Xoomblog:
My Dx pairs but is unable to connect :-(
[Xoom General] Droid4All:
I'm trying to connect to my OG droid and I am having trouble connecting as well. It pairs just fine. To the users having trouble, are you rooted with a custom rom and kernel? I'm trying to narrow this issue since others on the same mobile device are having success.
[Xoom General] fade1d:
This doest work on atrix
[Xoom General] Alpha Axl:
Do you have to be rooted (on the phone side) to be able to successfully do this? I have a Droid X and tried tethering my PSP the other night and no luck, might be a similar situation.
[Xoom General] rtc1036:
Droid Incredible. Which is rooted with a custom ROM.
[Xoom General] blozout:
Why not just use "wireless tether" form the market? Or does it not work on the Droid X? I was using it to tether my Xoom to my Evo running on Sprints 4G....
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
WiFi Tether doesn't work for some of us because Android doesn't connect through ad-hoc. The bluetooth solution sounds like our only option aside from wired tethering.
[Xoom General] Alpha Axl:
My Droid X works fine with my laptop, but not with certain devices. My Xoom is being delivered later today and I'll let you know how it goes. =P

Is Bluetooth as relatively fast as WiFi?
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
Not sure.

Maybe someone who is able to do both could do a speed test.
[Xoom General] BHack:
Pair but can't connect with EVO.

Anyone wanna shed some light here? Is it just the Droid X this works with?
[Xoom General] rquellet:
The DroidX has trouble with data connectivity(3g) with the current release Wireless Tether app. There is a prerelease 2.07 that fixes this. I am now wifi and bluetooth tethering without data disconnects. Download the release from the wireless tether website.
[Xoom General] parrotheadmjb:
I tether my droidx to my Xoom to use its unlimited data. Works fine, most of the time, but I do have to stop/start wifi tether on my droidx occasionally.
[Xoom General] Droid4All:
Update: I downloaded the experimental apk on the wireless tether's site and installed it on my Droid. My Xoom is now able to use my Droid's data via bluetooth option. JACKPOT!
[Xoom General] rquellet:
Ha, your welcome. Enjoy!
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
Cool! Got a link?
[Xoom General] rquellet:
Sorry, last time I checked, i cant post external links. You'll find it.
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
Got it. I was searching wrong. Came right up after I tried again.
[Xoom General] parrotheadmjb:
Which works better wifi or bluetooth
[Xoom General] axc630:
Has anyone tried doing a bluetooth tether to a blackberry?

i'm new to the android world having been stuck to my crackberry for some time and regularly bluetooth tether my laptop through DUN. i dropped into my local best buy to try the method the OP said, but the tether option did not appear inside the "wrench" when i selected my phone. BB 9700/Tmobile.

Thanks guys/gals.
[Xoom General] mrksbrd:
waiting to give wifi tether a roll, but doesn't bluetooth have slower connection speed? Will be giving it a try via wifi shortly !!!
[Xoom General] lancejt:
I'm sending this from my xoom tethered through bluetooth from an OG droid. Knew wifi wouldn't work due to ad-hoc issue. Glad there is a solution.
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
any difference in battery life performance out of the phone, bluetooth tether vs wifi tether ?
[Xoom General] kaze00:
That's what I'd like to know too.
[Xoom General] agentpower:
When I try to connect to my evo all I get is "paired but not connected"

An suggestions?
[Xoom General] dp92180:
I'm using the built in hotspot in CM7 on my Evo and do not have a problem. I tested it on the store demo before picking the Xoom up.

I haven't tried the bluetooth tethering yet but is there a battery or speed benifit over wifi tethering?
[Xoom General] rquellet:
Bluetooth by definition uses less power than wifi. The Max speed is limited to around 800kbps on my droid x. Wifi tethering brings my Max speed up to 1500kbps(my avg 3g Max speed). Bluetooth tether can also be initiated from the xoom without having to start the tether app on my phone. That is really convienient.

So, I dont know the actual battery life difference other than bluetooth should use less.
[Xoom General] dp92180:
Thanks, I plan on testing later today.
[Xoom General] ixobelle:
Initially, it connected the first time (paired, that is) and then, once paired, the option to tether shows up like I mentioned in the OP. I've had a few occasions where I needed to turn off and on the BT on both devices until they played nicely again.

As for why not use Wi-Fi tether... I actually used to use Barnacle for my DX, but that doesn't work with the Xoom. "Wifi Tether" does, however, so I'll probably just use that for my own purposes.

HOWEVER, having this BT option will be a boon for those with Blackberries or an unrooted android phone... it's just another option. :)
[Xoom General] dwboston:
Same here with my Dell Streak. The Streak's WiFi hotspot functionality works perfectly with Xoom however. On thing that's interesting is when I run a speedtest on the Streak, my upload speeds cap out around 350 kbps. When I connect the Xoom to the Streak's data connection via WiFi, the upload speed on the Xoom reads much higher, about 1.5 kbps.
[Xoom General] lopros:
How are you tethering through bluetooth on the OG droid? I have a rooted OG Droid and the best I can do is pair it with the xoom but can't get them to connect. What app are you using?any help is greatly appreciated. I love my Xoom! Just need to get my tether working with my OG Droid.
[Xoom General] agentpower:
Anyone figure out this problem?
[Xoom General] Nvious1:
I am with lopros. I can get my devices to pair but not connected plus I don't see any kind of profiles to tether. I installed experimental build of wifi tether but nothing seems to be showing. I am running a somewhat recent Nightly of CM7 on an OG Droid.
[Xoom General] jeston:
Did you guys set Wireless Tether for Root to use bluetooth rather than wifi in the settings? Version 2.0.6 is working fine for me on my OG Droid.
[Xoom General] Nvious1:
OK I finally got this working. Here is what I did to spell it out.

1) make sure you have the latest wireless tether app from market. Do not use the experimental like previously stated cause it doesn't have the blue tooth in there

2) configure the wireless tether app to use blue tooth and not wifi

3) turn on bluetooth and discovery on the OG Droid

4) discover the of droid from the xoom and pair both

5) now turn on the wireless tether (bluetooth) on the of droid

6) now back on the xoom, click the wrench on the droid paired line and select the tether profile. It should connect and show a larger bluetooth icon down by battery.

You should now be working. Cheers!
[Xoom General] firepacket:
+1 this worked perfectly on my Droid.

One thing though - you have to keep the Wireless Tether app running on Bluetooth mode on your Droid or you wont be able to connect.

Someone earlier said they were able to bluetooth-tether from the Xoom without touching their phone. Not sure how that was done...
[Xoom General] tayhall86:
I am rooted on my droid. When I pair the phone and xoom it says paired but not connected.... any ideas what's going on here?
[Xoom General] agentpower:
I must be doing something wrong. :-(

Still not connecting for me.
[Xoom General] jrfree:
Once the devices are paired, using the native bluetooth Tethering profile on the Xoom it will auto connect to my DroidX when you press Tethering

Here is a video showing the steps to tether via the native bluetooth from Xoom to DroidX

[YOUTUBE]htZ6uoPYtqk[/YOUTUBE]
[Xoom General] agentpower:
Wifi tether works fine for me, I just can't get my evo and the zoom to connect via Bluetooth.
[Xoom General] tayhall86:
OK i finally figured it out. I had wireless tether running and then I paired the devices. That is the only way that I could see the bluetooth profile on the xoom. Anyways it works and it is awesome. Anyways thanks for all the tips, now I wish the guy at costco didn't lie to me and require me to activate the data.....
[Xoom General] agentpower:
Ughhh I tried that andit still didn't work :-\
[Xoom General] Rich W:
OK, when I go to the market and put in 'wireless tether' there are several pages of listings. Which one is it??

Thanks
[Xoom General] jrfree:
While you can try the Wireless tether app, if you are using a Droid X you shouldn't need that app, just use the built in bluetooth tethering in the Xoom, this way you don't need to have the app running on your Droid X to make it work :)
[Xoom General] Rich W:
I have seen and tried that and it seems to work but the 3G icon is still present. So, I'm not sure it is actually using the Droid X or xoom 3G data plan? When I use WiFi the 3G disappears.
[Xoom General] jrfree:
I am not sure, but I always turn off the 3G data when not actively using it, that way you don't get zapped with data being used from updates and such. With 3G and Wifi off, if you are tethered and using the internet, then it is definitely coming from the bluetooth tether ;)
[Xoom General] agentpower:
Lol. I can't get the Bluetooth profile because I contact connect, only pair
[Xoom General] svghost:
PAN

Seems like the Bluetooth tether is picky about what type, I find that it does not work on my HTC Hero (2.3) using PDAnet and DUN but does work if I use the app titled " Wireless Tether " with PAN tethering.

Hope this helps some people!

First post by the way! A very excited Xoom owner and android fanatic joins the ranks!
[Xoom General] Rich W:
OK, but where are you turning off the 3G? Looked but cant find it.
[Xoom General] madpoet:
So I have to ask... I've got an iPhone (I know, boo hiss) JB running MyWi 4.0. If I create the wireless hotspot the Xoom doesn't see it so I assume I would need to root and add the tether app. Not sure I'm keeping this yet, so we'll see if that happens. I tried BT tethering but that seemed to not be working. The devices would pair but stay at not connected. I set it to use the BT connection to tether and I enabled tethering in MyWi on BT but it didn't seem to matter. No dice. Anyone else try this combo?
[Xoom General] reezy23:
Have you found a solution on how to hook up your xoom to your atrix? If you have please help.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
The wifi issue is because the Xoom will not connect (yet, maybe with a hack) to ad-hoc wifi. Seems like BT should work tho.
[Xoom General] th0r615:
edit: nevermind
[Xoom General] jrfree:
To turn off 3G, goto Settings>Wireless & networks>Mobile Networks> uncheck Data enabled :)
[Xoom General] Synner-Sam:
I can confirm too that the bluetooth tethering works! Tethered to my droid x with no problem at all. Thx for the info man!
[Xoom General] n9zez:
Has anyone had any luck pairing with an EVO via bluetooth? I know that Agentpower has been trying to no avail.
[Xoom General] Wolfeman0101:
I followed all the instructions but on my XOOM I don't have the "Tethering" option once they are paired but not connected.
[Xoom General] lopros:
I followed the directions to a "T". Best I can get after pairing is on my Xoom under profiles it Says Tethering and Use for Internet Access and when I tap it, it does nothing. Any suggestions?
[Xoom General] jrfree:
On my Droid X when I click on the config wrench icon next to it under the Paired devices section in Wireless & networks, and click on the Tethering option it says connecting, then it will say Tethered and I can use the Droid X's connection (one note: I have noticed that every once in a while when I attempt to do this it will connect for a brief second then disconnect, turning bluetooth off and on again on both devices seems to fix this easily)
[Xoom General] tampabuc2004:
I am having problems with bluetooth connection with my iphone 4. it has a hard time seeing the xoom, but the xoom sees the iphone fine. When i finally get it to pair it says "Connection Unsuccessful Xoom is not supported" is there any way around this, also i am using my wii without the on demand service.
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
This is sick. I can't believe how well it works. It's faster than I thought.

One thing I'm wondering is if there is a way to turn this into a two or three step process. On the Droid side, it's as simple as opening up the tether app and pushing the big green button. However, on the Droid side, you have to open up settings and connect them. How do I set it where it connects to my Droid whenever I enable Bluetooth on the XOOM?
[Xoom General] myagi:
Droid X, got it to work

I paired the 2 devices with bluetooth. It did say that it was paired but not connected.

I turned off wifi on both the xoom and the Droid X.

I went into the bluetooth settings on the xoom clicked the wrench next to my paired entry for my Droid X

Hit the tether button, said it was connecting and then it was tethered.

My Xoom has a blue box in the notification bar with the bluetooth symbol in it in addition to the normal bluetooth symbol.

Voila.

I am running a rooted Droid X and have the android-wifi-tether app but am not using it for this at all. Once I paired the two devices I do not have to touch the droid x as long as wifi is off and bluetooth is on.

This is what worked for me

Atrix and Xoom hook up

Reezy23 asked for a specific solution on hooking up the Atrix and Xoom. This may be old news, but I finally got my Atrix and Xoom tethered last night and checked it again this morning and it hooks right up. The following sequence is what initially enabled the tether connection, however, today, I find I can cut out many steps which I will summarize at the end.

First, getting the Atrix and Xoom to pair was not an issue, however, getting them to "connect" was the problem. After they have beeen paired but not connected, I shut off both the wi-fi and bluetooth on both the Atrix and Xoom and then started the Wireless Tether App (version 2.07) on the Atrix. The only boxes I activated in the Wireless Bluetooth app menu was the "Use Bluetooth" and "Discoverable" boxes. Start the Wireless Tether app and touch "Yes" to turn on the "Bluetooth permission request" box that pops up on the Atrix. Then, go to the Xoom and make certain the "Bluetooth tethering" box is checked under the "Tethering and portable hotspot" setting on the Xoom. Then, turn on "Bluetooth" on the Xoom and select "Bluetooth settings." Touch (hold for a moment) the "wrench" by your "Atrix paired device but still not connected" and another box should appear that says "Tethering." Touch the "Tethering" and it should say it is connecting and then it will change to "Tethered", and a blue Bluetooth symbol will appear in the notification area. At that point you are good to go. If you check the "Paired devices" on your Xoom, it will now say it is paired with the Atrix. However, on the Atrix, it never does say it is paired.

Today I find that if I have Bluetooth on both the Xoom and Atrix and the Bluetooth tethering enabled on the Xoom, all I have to do is start the Wireless Tether app on the Atrix, touch the "yes" button to the Bluetooth pemission request that come up, go to the Xoom and press the wrench on the Atix pairing, touch Tether, and it hooks up. For all the trial and error to get it going, it sure is a breeze once it makes the first connect.
[Xoom General] nswenson:
Iphone4 with TetherMe application works flawlessly with Xoom using bluetooth connection. Just $1.99. I'm not sure why anyone would spring for the MyWi for $19.99. The TetherMe integrates into the Settings menus and gives great speeds. I checked the speetest app and I'm seeing over 1.2MB/sec on 3G which is great at my location with a ping of around 116ms.
[Xoom General] Ed Venture:
Wayne710 -Thanks for the Atrix tip. I was getting pretty frustrated, but I followed your directiond and now I am all set. As you said, subsequent connections are a lot easier after I got it set up and running the first time.
[Xoom General] 760hacker:
I am using an Incredible with CM6.1 Stable and Wifi-Tether from the market 2.7 and this will not work. Anyone with an Incredible get this working. Also if you did is your Xoom rooted? Does your zoom have the stock kernel?
[Xoom General] nswenson:
Don't use the tether app from the market. CM6.1 has wifi tether built in already which should work with the xoom. You can enable it under the settings menu.
[Xoom General] 760hacker:
Tried it won't work. My xoom doesn't see it this is killing me.
[Xoom General] kevinh52:
Thanks. Nvious1.

I was able to tether with the OG droid running stock 2.2.1 rooted, but after installing peter alfonso's 2.2.3 gingerbread rom, it would see the option to tether but never connect to it. ??
[Xoom General] kevinh52:
When back to backup of 2.2.1 and it works like charm. Too bad it is not gingerbread , but I guess that will work for now.
[Xoom General] veroson:
bluetooth tether with Droid Incredible (unrooted)

I am debating if I should get the 3G or wi fi version. I have an unlimited data plan on my DInc. Can anyone confirm that BT tether will work with an unrooted Droid Incredible and the Xoom (unrooted)?

thank you
[Xoom General] NorCalDroid:
Wow I got it to work on my Droid X. If your device says paired but not connected then have the phone forget the Xoom connection and repair it up again. Click the wrench and tether it. I love Google for giving the Xoom this profile. A big f u to all U.S carriers! Love it.
[Xoom General] ted911:
Still not working

I have a rooted original Droid and a rooted wifi only xoom. I have followed these directions exactly and it will not work. I've tried all the tips like downloading an experimental version of the wireless tether app and nothing seems to work. Any ideas ? Thanks
[Xoom General] ted911:
Figured it out

I did some more research and found out that it was GPA14that was causing the problem. I switched to the Ultimate Droid rom and everything works great !
[Xoom General] wase4711:
anyone figured out how to tether to a non rooted evo via blutooth?
[Xoom General] texasez:
I cannot tether a rooted evo. It shows paired but not connected.
[Xoom General] wase4711:
yeah, same problem here
[Xoom General] Kcarpenter:
2 questions:

1)Anyone able to get this to work with the Epic? I can't get anything blue tooth to work with it.

2) is Battery life tethering over BT longer than Wifi? I would imagine so.
[Xoom General] fauxreal:
Same here, was running Gingerbread on mine since he put it out basically. But I couldn't get the tether to work and figured it had to be the ROM that was the problem. I highly recommend the ProjectElite ROM with the Honeycomb theme over on Droidforums.net Works perfectly with this tether method and looks awesome.
[Xoom General] patass:
i'll try it with my Evo on CM7 later today. I cant imagine it working better than the wifi tether though...
[Xoom General] Holsum:
bluetooth tether is slower and uses more battery.
[Xoom General] Sparticuz:
uh...bluetooth by definition is slower, and uses LESS battery...

also...

the people that show paired but not connected, try removing the pair. then turning on Discoverable INSIDE wireless tether, then re-pairing them. This successfully added the correct tether profile on my xoom.
[Xoom General] wase4711:
wireless tether never shows up as an option on my wifi xoom...
[Xoom General] DJPrescher:
I am in the same boat. I have an Epic and the xoom. i can get them paired but not connected.
[Xoom General] patass:
thats because you just connect to your phone the same way you would a router.
[Xoom General] jeffjaslow:
Which rom are you using? I am currently using NFX Sense Rom 2.1 and I am able use the Wireless Tether with Bluetooth, but Xoom Wifi only version will not recognize it.

Are you using the Xoom 3g/wifi or only the Xoom wifi version.

Thanks for your help.
[Xoom General] yoshitweaky:
Nor on mine, is there a reason for this anyone know?
[Xoom General] Crimton:
I am able to WiFi tether from my thunderbolt fine. Slightly off topic but I can't pair with media audio via bluetooth to my MOTO headphones, haven't tried Bluetooth tethering.
[Xoom General] bobotus:
GSM HTC Hero with FroydVillain 1.7.2 works!

Just installed Wireless Tether for Root Users 2.0.8-pre1 *** EXPERIMENTAL *** on My GSM HTC Hero with FroydVillain 1.7.2 to replace the one from market and now the bluetooth tether works!

I got around 1Mbps up/down, but it might go higher (bad 3G reception in my house).

ps. Remeber to repair your devices after installing the experimental apk!
