How to connect the phone to the tablet

Mobile devices have already tightly entered our daily lives. Each successfully performs its tasks, but if several are brought together, then their capabilities will undoubtedly increase. Today we will tell how to synchronize the tablet and the smartphone. This is the ability to transfer data between them, distribute the Internet, control one device from the screen of another.Since the devices on the Android OS, data transfer is implemented at a high level, we will talk about them. There are several ways to "make friends" two mobile devices - wireless, using a cable.

Ways to connect the 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 we activate the Bluetooth module.
3. On the one from which you want to transfer files, enable the search for devices. Highlight the list.
4. Find the second device, click it, thereby activate.
5. Locate the file required for the transfer. Open the window, select the item "Send via Bluetooth", select the recipient.
6. To allow the transfer of data, give permission - click "OK".

Important! To save battery power, when the session is over, do not forget to break the connection, turn off the modules.

The main disadvantage of such a connection is low speed. The transfer of "heavy" files can take quite a long time. Therefore, for such cases, we recommend using cloud storage (Dropbox, Google Drive, Yandex. Disk). After placing the files there, access is possible from all devices with Internet.

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

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

Wi-Fi

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 thing to another.

• The modem is activated in the distributing device.
• 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.

You can also connect the PDA to the Internet via a “friendly” smartphone using this protocol. To do this, it must communicate with the 3G, 4G network, and this is inherent in almost any modern device.

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

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

Additional features

The user can display the image on the tablet screen from the phone. Another interesting feature that opens when the tablet and phone are "friends" is the ability to turn the latter into a remote control or joystick (gamepad). After that, you sit comfortably in a chair, launch a toy on a tablet or broadcast an interesting match, adjust the volume, perform actions — control it with a mobile phone. What do you need to do for this?

You can use the free utility Tablet Remote. Its main advantage is that the control does not require the Internet, cable meters and other devices. Enough only the presence of Bluetooth-module.

The algorithm is as follows:

1. Perform actions described in the section "Methods for connecting a phone and tablet" - Bluetooth.
2. On both devices, install the utility, run it.
3. A menu opens. Go to the "Setup" ("Settings"). Check - both options should not be active. If so, the smartphone is already a remote keyboard.
4. Go to the next tab "Connection" ("Connections"). 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.
