Re: Tethering N9 to Nexus 7

Having that said, it's not all roses, the connection is not very fast, not because of the 3g, but because of the bluetooth linkage between devices that is just not as fast as wi-fi. So, has anyone come up with a different solution besides BlueVPN for the Nx7 with the N9? |
Re: Tethering N9 to Nexus 7
Last I saw, Android users were in the same boat:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1787680 Although I can only assume that recompiling wpa_supplicant from AOSP with the patch on this page (assuming things haven't changed drastically enough since 2010 to break that patch) would work, but certainly that's outside of my own level of expertise. |
Re: Tethering N9 to Nexus 7
There was this guy arend who made an app for gingerbread that made ad hoc possible on android devices. He pulled it of google play and just updated he wont be dev'ing on it anymore. Read link below and the last answer in the postings/answers.
http://www.arenddeboer.com/wifi-ad-h...r-for-android/ I tried it on my N900 -> nitdroid but couldn't get it to work cause it couldn't mount a certain partition. Just did a check on the above site to if he (arend) had updated his site/app and found the above mentioned. Dousan... |

Re: Tethering N9 to Nexus 7
Been using it myself, Nexus7 and N9 together, through BlueVPN for the last 4 days. Not an ideal solution, but a workable one for the brief time.

Re: Tethering N9 to Nexus 7
Ok, I got Bluetooth pan working on the n9.
Just remove network from the DisabledPlugins section in /etc/bluetooth/main.conf . After that I got pan working with the test-nap.py script from the bluez repo and the tether.sh script from another thread on maemo.org. I have put all the files into this gist: https://gist.github.com/4133214 The last missing bit is ipt_MASQUARADE but as workaround we can use BlueVPN in conjunction with pan networking to workaround the Android online checks and the missing ipt_MASQUARADE on the N9. Fully working Tether Nexus 7 <--> N9 |

Wonder if the lovely fellows who do the QUicktweak or something along those lines would consider making this a bit easier for the likes of me? I'd give my third born child (havent got one yet) to have a properly working tether between Nexus7 and N9... Over BlueVPN it will not let the Play store download, for example, or Gmail to sync. |

Yes, the ipt_MASQUERADE is missing. I have been trying to compile the modules on my N950 for the past day. The modules compile, but they don't load (not sure why). My goal would be to take the exact kernel config from a stock N950 PR 1.2 or N9 PR 1.3 and be able to load the modules. I don't really want to screw with open mode. I've played with inception and it seems less intrusive. I'm going to try the inception + a new modules package that maybe would install/load with inception (I hope). I'm not sure how aegis treats module files, but I hope this is doable. |
Re: Tethering N9 to Nexus 7
I got this to work using PPP Widget. It requires a rooted nexus 7 and a usb otg cable. Unlike BlueVPN, it's not wireless, but it gives full internet access on the tablet and it does so at very good speeds.
Steps: Download PPP Widget from the play store and add the widget to a homescreen (grant superuser access when prompted). Select "Configure" on the widget. - Fill in Access Point Name (I just entered a blank space here). - Disable automatic device detection. Connect N9 with usb otg cable. - Choose "Sync and connect" option on N9. Select the PPP icon and choose your N9 from the list. Hit Connect. The widget manages the wifi connection so I didn't have to turn off wifi on the nexus to get this to work. I have yet to find an internet enabled app that can't connect to the net. Bonus: not only does the n9 charge while connected to the nexus 7, the wifi hotspot app can be used simultaneously for other devices. |
Re: Tethering N9 to Nexus 7
Thank you coomac,
I'm using your method: Nexus 7 + PPP Widget + USB OTG + Nokia N9. Works perfectly! |
