Re: Unbelievable : Android doesn't "tether" ?...
 

egg-zaktly ! :-)

Ooooh, a riddle, I love riddles ! :-)
Of course I'm willing, first thing I did on that Tab was to install a sorry excuse for an xterm... and learn to use adb. I'll follow up on your clues and see where that takes me, thanks !

Re: Unbelievable : Android doesn't "tether" ?...
 

Thanks in advance, but I'm afraid it's almost certain to not work... :-)

I suppose if you wanted to you could edit the title or, failing that, the original post and add some clarity.

Re: Unbelievable : Android doesn't "tether" ?...
 

There was no beef, promise. And I appreciate you stating it in a way where it was entirely open-ended as to my intent; however as it stands you're 100% correct.

Android does indeed tether; however I was quite unaware about the Samsung stack being crippled. I had used a different ROM for my Captivate, the AT&T variant of the Galaxy S and can't say that I ran into this issue. My time with the Galaxy Tab in the office was limited, so I hadn't run into your situation there either.

I now have a Xoom, an Atrix and no probs other than a friggin' encrypted bootloader.

Yeah, the tethering option didn't come up. I didn't play with it very long though. Definitely works with Honeycomb--I tried a couple of android 3.0 tablets.

There, fixed it :-)
Thanks to all...

Re: Unbelievable : Android doesn't "tether" ?...
 

9K, your riddle is a really elusive one :-)

Googling for "bnep.ko pand froyo" brings up only two pages of links, quite a few of them pointing to this very thread :-)

Others are about the same question I'm after, but are mostly pleas (duplicated on several boards) for someone to compile the above binaries, with no answers.

The rest seem irrelevant. I don't see any available bnep.ko and pand for Froyo, or building instructions.

Am I missing something, or looking in the wrong places ?...

Re: Unbelievable : Android (Froyo) on the Samsung Galaxy Tab doesn't "tether" ?...
 

Lessen your search by looking for "adb bnep.ko" - I've used adb push bnep.ko before to avoid some limitation when I was changing kernels before. Same for a few other drivers - mostly wi-fi with the Xoom.

Good luck with your search. Not sure if he's talking full recompile or just a simple adb push to replace your bluetooth stack.

Re: Unbelievable : Android (Froyo) on the Samsung Galaxy Tab doesn't "tether" ?...
 

Thanks for the hint, it does get more hits, but also a lot of duplicates, and not much more...

Well, if it's the latter, I certainly don't see how. The only really relevant post, replicated on a dozen different sites, is by this "Disconnect" or "Disconn3ct" character :
http://www.gotontheinter.net/content...kernel-modules
But the files aren't available any more, and they're probably outdated anyway as the post is from 2008.

And if it's the former, I'm certainly not going to all that trouble, even if I had the know-how :-)

Re: Unbelievable : Android doesn't "tether" ?...
 

Hi there. I didn't mean to give you riddle that would eventually waste your time. I only gave you the direction as that method requires you to spend considerable amount of time to research, especially on the rooting and kernel part. If you're not going for this direction, probably you don't need it. That was what I thought when giving you instructions so brief. ;)

Besides, there is in fact a pretty good paid-app PDANet that could make your Android a decent tethering hub without rooting it. You'd like to get a trial version to test. Hope this helps.
