How to connect a phone to a tablet: additional features

Mobile devices are already firmly embedded in our daily lives. Each successfully fulfills its tasks, but if a few "bring it together", then their capabilities will undoubtedly increase. Today we’ll show you how to synchronize your tablet and smartphone. This is the ability to transfer data between them, distribute the Internet, control one device from the screen of another. Since in devices on the Android OS, data transfer is implemented at a high level, then let's talk about them. There are several ways to “make friends” two mobile devices - wireless, using a cable.

Ways to connect your phone and tablet

Consider wireless technology.

Bluetooth

To transfer files from one mobile device to another, bluetooth technology is often used, which is present on almost any modern gadget. The algorithm is as follows:

1. Make sure that this technology is available for both devices. Versions are compatible.

2. On both devices, activate the Bluetooth module.
3. On the one from which you want to transfer files, enable device search. The list is displayed.
4. Find the second device, click it, thereby activate.
5. Find the file you want to transfer. Open the window, select "Send via Bluetooth", select the recipient.
6. To allow data transfer, give permission - click "OK".

Important! To save battery power, when the session ends, do not forget to disconnect, turn off the modules.

The main disadvantage of this connection is the low speed. Transferring “heavy” files can take quite a while. Therefore, for such cases, we recommend using cloud storage (Dropbox, Google Drive, Yandex. Disk). After placing files there, access is possible from all devices that have Internet access.

In addition, through this technology it is possible to create a VPN connection.

• To do this, find, download the program BlueVPN.
• We launch, open the list of devices and find a smartphone.
• Click on it, make a connection.

Wifi

You can make friends with your smartphone and tablet using Wi-Fi, but this will no longer be a file transfer, as it was with a Bluetooth connection. Here it will be the reception and distribution of the Internet from one to another.

• The modem mode is activated in the distributor.
• The host starts a search for valid Wi-Fi networks.
• After detecting the network, it is activated by pressing. If necessary, enter the password that is specified in the settings of the distributing device.

Using this protocol, you can connect the handheld to the Internet through a “friendly” smartphone. To do this, he must keep in touch with 3G, 4G network, and this is embedded in almost any modern device.

Important! For such an action, no additional software needs to be installed on the device. All parameters are set by settings.

1. Mobile gadget settings - go to "Wireless Networks" - "More" section (More)
2. Activate "Modem Mode", switch the "Access Point" switch to the "On" position
3. Everything, an access point has been created on the smartphone. It is possible to connect to it from any device that supports the protocol. About the parameters - network name, password for access, encryption method - information in the settings.
4. On the handheld, we start the search for available networks, find, connect. If necessary, enter the password.

Additional features

The user can display the image on the screen of the tablet from the phone. Another interesting feature that opens when the “friendship” of the tablet and phone is the ability to turn the latter into a remote control or joystick (gamepad). After that, you sit comfortably in an armchair, launch a toy or broadcast an interesting match on a tablet, adjust the volume, perform actions - control it using a mobile phone. What needs to be done for this?

The free Tablet Remote utility will help you. Its main advantage is that the control does not require the Internet, cable meters and other devices. All you need is a Bluetooth module.

The algorithm is as follows:

1. Follow the steps described in "Methods for connecting the phone and tablet" - Bluetooth.
2. We install the utility on both devices, run it.
3. A menu opens. We go to the "Setup" section. Check - both options should be inactive. If so, then the smartphone is already a remote keyboard.
4. Go to the next tab “Connection”. We start the search for active devices. Check that the phone is turned on, otherwise the tablet will be able to detect it and, accordingly, make a connection.
5. After finding the device, click on it to establish a connection. This is done only the first time, then the process will occur automatically.
