PDANet

Has anyone tried PDANet for tablets with the 7.7 yet? I could never get it to work with my P1010 but I am hoping it will work with this one.

First of all, of course you couldn't get PDANet to work on your old P1010, it's a WiFi only device, and PDANet is an app designed to share your mobile (3G) connection via WiFi, Bluetooth, or USB. What exactly did you hope to accomplish with PDANet on a WiFi only device?

Finally, assuming you got the 3G 7.7 (P6800) and not the WiFi 7.7 (P6810), you don't need PDANet at all in order to share your 7.7's mobile 3G connection to other devices. It has mobile tethering right out of the box. Just go to Settings ==> Wireless and networks ==> Tethering and portable hotspot.

Done!

I am sorry I did not give enough information. I wanted to use my droidx as a server to get internet access for my p6810. I do this with my phone and tablet PC. I now know that it is extremely limited with honeycomb.

Ok, I understand now.

In this case, you shouldn't really need any additional software for your P6810, assuming the tethering software on your DroidX supports WiFi tethering. You should be able to connect the P6810 to your DroidX just the same as you would connect to any other WiFi AP.

I do need another solution as I don't want to pay Verizon another $20/month to tether.
