I'm running Flasback 10 and previously Gta_comb 3.3 and I used my Galaxy Ace for tethering with both,without any problems.
Simply configure your phone as a hotspot and then connect your table through wifi.
At least it's quite simple with Android based devices.I'm sure there's a equivalent app for iphones

The problem is with android not supporting ad-hoc networks. All current wifi tethering options appear as ad-hoc. That's android, IOS & BB. For some reason the stock android os will not connect to ad-hoc even though they appear on the available networks list. Don't know if it is kernel related or some sort of software installed but the unofficial honeycomb ROMS will connect fine. Vegantab wont and I've not tried any others. Which is a shame since I want to tether with my n900 but I prefer vegantab over the current honeycomb ROMS.

No one seems to have read your REAL question, and the answer is yes...but you need to jailbreak your iphone and install MyWi, it will then work...

the inbuilt iphone HP has feature to stop android phones doing exactly what your trying...

so, Jailbreak, and instlal MyWi from Cydia.

You need to jailbreak the iPhone (because your on IOS5 it will be a tethered jailbreak for the moment, not going into that here, wrong place).

Then you can either use "MyWi" or PDANet. These are both paid for apps via Cydia (Not the appstore!!).

I use PDAnet on my Iphone, my Ipad (non 3g) and Hannspad both connect and work no problems.

The Hannspad comes up on the iphone as device "Android- "

You can also use "GPSout" to turn your iphone into a bluetooth gps device, Yes I have TOMTOM running on my wifi ipad!!! with google search!!!

Hello there,

since I can't start a new topic, I'll try my luck here.

I got me a HANNSpad 10T130R1653 and I need to use Bluetooth tethering and a cellphone to get it online. Please note that at least in this case
it's safe to assume that I know what I'm saying. I need the Tablet to go online via Bluetooth tethering, using a 3G cellphone for the online access, utilising the BT DUN profile. Once more: HANNSpad client, cellphone server, BT DUN in between, if you will.

I have an Archos 70 IT and this exact functionality is seemlessly integrated into its Android 2.2, and it works like a charm. It's located in the wireless settings directly under Bluetooth Settings, and I have no idea how anybody can live without this (but that's just my perspective, given the scenarios I'm faced with). (Yes I'm aware there's WiFi tethering, but there's no 3G phone out there providing WiFi tethering and meeting my other requirements, which may be a bit specific, at the same time.)

This is where I stand today:

1) There seem to be Android apps providing BT DUN "server" functionality, but not client. In discussion threads, people even state that wouldn't make sense. Well, my mileage varies substantially.

2) Some people even appear to suggest there might be a limitation of the HANNSpad's BT radio. Having had hands on BT radios and their interfaces and protocol stacks myself (although a couple years ago), I highly doubt this.

3) I presume (given the Archos experience) the whole BT DUN client thing is or could be part of Android if it were configured/contained the right modules.

4) I've checked the stock ROM including the latest update from this week; negative.

5) I've checked Flashlight 2.0 with ab_kernelv4Release-2-32-44-04; negative.

6) I've checked GtaCOMB3.3_refresh; negative.

7) I'm not afraid of configuring a pre-built kernel/ROM should that be required. I'm also not afraid of compiling something and having to set compile time switches or whatever is needed, but in these cases, I'd be very much interested in someone providing me with their HANNSpad specific development environment/toolbox/whatever. (Yes I'm new to Android but I've configured and compiled Linux kernels, I have fixed a bug in a Linux driver, I know Java, I have programmed and debugged embedded systems, so it won't be all Greek to me, presumably.)

Let me finally say that from what I saw so far, I like a lot about Android (not the ********** Goolge account we-know-where-you-are-and-who's-in-your-phonebook thingy, but besides...) and some of you do an amazing job in providing alternative ROMs, recovery kernels, background information and all that's needed to get past the limitations of commercial offerings. Keep up the excellent work!

And thank you for your time.

I'm guessing I've fallen prey to the "no ad-hoc" business. I have a '53 and a Nokia C7-00 (AKA Astound in the US, I believe).

Now, I have JoikuSpot on the 'phone which professes to allow connections from the phone to anything capable of picking up a wi-fi signal, seen as Nokia don't have native tethering capabilities on their phones believe it or not. Sure enough, the lappy can see it, but despite changing to various wi-fi bands in JoikuSpot, the tablet refuses to acknowledge it's existance.

I don't suppose anyone else on here has this peculiar Hannspree / Nokia conunundrum do they? If so, could they please let me know if and how they've solved it please? If not, I'll sit in the 'no-ad-hoc' camp I guess. ^^

Much obliged to any helpful types out there!

Similar situation, Hannspad, Nokia N8, joikuspot - and still no tethering!

Did look at a thread on xda about it, and having specific configuration file for when using it, but didn't try it out - looked a quite cumbersome and flaky procedure.
WongSky,

Quick update for you, not sure how you are on the subject of upgrading the ROM on your Hpad, Gtab'd mine last night and voila! I can now tether to my C7 quite happily :)

Might be worth a whirl in your case too?

HTH
Xen :)
