Tethering to Android Phone

---

Has anyone had any luck connecting the the "mobile AP" feature on their android phone with their nook color?

Using my Nexus over the weekend it connected fine to the ap. Basic settings

Worked fine on my cyanogen'd G2.

I have read that tethering only works on certain phones.

Found the solution for Tethering Droid 2 & X here

I can confirm that this solution works on my Droid 2

Working fine on my Froyo-ified HTC HD2.

No go with G1

Doesn't work (as expected) with my G1 (ad-hoc only). Tried forcing the Nook to reconize ad-hocs with a few hacks I found online. On the Nook, I tried a modified wpa_supplicant deamon and editing both /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini and /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf files as suggested. None of these combinations worked.

fyi if you need to mess with the /system directory:

in the adb shell

# mount -o rw,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system

enables editing the partition and

# mount -o ro,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system

sets it back to read only.

Tether works great

Mine worked 'out of the box' with my Froyo'd CM6 Aria.

Good luck

Works fine with stock Nexus One, and also with Galaxy Tab on Verizon.

Does not seem to work with rooted droid eris running cyanogen

Works with a rooted Nexus one running the latest Cyanogen.

It only worked with the portable hotspot feature of 2.2 though, pre 2.2 I had to use the wireless tether (ad-hoc), which didn't work for original nook.
