[Q] Tethering an X10 to the tablet?

---

Hi,

Just wondering if I am going to be able to tether my Xperia x10 to the tablet so I can get 3g? Or is this not possible?

Yeah, you could connect by bluetooth and transmit the internet over, you'll probably need a special app as the x10 is still on eclair?

Do you have CM7 on your phone? You can setup a (secure) wireless hotspot on your phone and tether the Transformer that way can't you, to share the phones internet? Or use PDAnet from the market if memory serves?

The phone is on standard 2.1 with no CM7 so would like an app that could do this if possible?

I use barnicle wifi tearjerker to give 3g to laptop ...should work

When I was having a quick look at that app it says it needs Root access?

Don't you need 2.2 to tether 3g?

I think barnacle wifi should work just fine on 2.1.

Still, I would recommend to try one of the great custom builds of 2.2 / 2.3.3 or CM7 on the X10 (Look for TripNMIUI, FreeX10 CM7 and Wolfbreak's ROM if you need an every-day stable ROM with custom performance kernels)

And if you can wait for thethering until around june/july, there'll be official gingerbread on the X10 where tethering is native anyway

Yes, you'll definitely need root, but why don't root your phone? You can always reflash unrooted ROMs and there'll be no hint that you rooted and warranty won't be lost.

I used to use PDAnet off the market for a tethered connection. I didn't have root at the time either. You install an app on your laptop and one on your phone and can use bluetooth or usb cable. Sure I did this when my N1 was on 2.2 though, so not sure about 2.1.
