Say it ain't so. I will try tomorrow. Is there any way to block my Droid x from updating?

No Bluetooth tether? Works pretty good.

Not trying to be a douche here - but what does this have to do with the Xoom? Wrong forum post maybe?

The easy fix is to either pay for the data plan on your Xoom or pay for WiFi Hotspot on your DroidX.

Save me the whole "Its unlimited data, I can do anything I want with it" argument. Frankly, its about time VZW started to crack down on people who violate their TOS.

Because this was one of the reasons I bought the xoom instead of the ipad2. I could not get my ipad to teather with my Droid x.

I just tried the bluetooth tether to my Droid X and it still works.

I find that Blue Tooth tether works flawlessly w/ DX on xoom. I had it going w/ root and now on stock non rooted GB. No problems here

Do you have the wi-fi only Xoom or the 3G? My wi-fi only works fine on the DX. Maybe there is a difference if you have the 3G version.... ?

My wifi only Xoom works fine with BT tether to DX. I thought it didn't work at first but I discovered that the wifi on the DX must be off. It only works if the DX is using 3G, not wifi.

Yes, use the bluetooth method and turn the WIFI off.

Thanks guys. Does your Droid X have the new update installed? If so, does the tether still work after the update?

 

[jrhodes973]

Yes, Gingerbread on the Droid X and wireless tether (Bluetooth) works if the DX is using 3G, not wifi.

Is there a resource out there on doing the bluetooth method. Im just not getting it I guess. I am still getting the page for to buy data package. Ive got the laptop on a bluetooth dongle I had laying around, connected to it fine
