Can anybody help? I've been trying to figure out how to use the wifi tethering app with bluetooth instead since the wireless card on my laptop has been acting up. Bluetooth connects just fine and it only shows that the phone can only do activesync, audio gateway, and object push. It doesn't see the bluetooth tethering.

When I'm in the car I have the TP2 connected using bluetooth:
-with the car as a car kit
-with my laptop to share my internet connection
-with my laptop to synchronize my outlook items
This all works, but not at the same time. So if I get in the car the head set mode is switched on and I can share my internet connection. As soon as I startup ActiveSync to synchronize the bluetooth connection for internet sharing is closed.
If I want to start internet sharing again I get the message that ActiveSync needs to be closed before I can share my internet connection.
At work (obviously I don't have headset mode for the carkit switched on) it is possible to have both ActiveSync and the internet connection over blue tooth at the same time.
Any idea to why this is happening? I would think perhaps 3 bluetooth devices can not be active at the same time.
With sharing internet you mean internet to your phone, or internet from phone to your laptop? Makes a diffrence, because internet to your phone and synching is the same bluetooth connection.
I mean sharing my internet connection off the phone to the laptop. This has been working fine on my mda vario III (Tytn II)
And again something new: if the phone is just lying on my desk it is impossible to have internet shared and Active Sync connected at the same time.
As soon as I connect the device to a mini USB (either another computer or the charger) it is able to have both connections over bluetooth.
With my device I can connect to max 2 connections. one i use for my mbw-150 watch exclusive and the other data connection with my notebook. If i activate a third for example to another phone the connection with my watch is seperated.
Anyone gotten wireless tether to work over bluetooth? My computer never recognizes it as being a PAN capable device. How can I manually tell windows 7 to connect as PAN to it when Im running tether?
HTC used a somewhat non-standard Bluetooth stack on the Evo. I don't think it supports Bluetooth PAN. You'd probably have better luck under CyanogenMod 6 if you can put up with some of its other missing features or going with wifi tethering.
I just have issues with WiFi tendering too. It seems to disconnect every few minutes. Was hoping Bluetooth would work. Poo. May have to end up paying for pdanet instead (i need access to https sites).

I've got an EVO running CM6 stable with android-wireless-tether (pre7). I am able to pair/connect to my home PC by setting up a bluetooth PAN in Windows 7. I right click on my device, choose "Connect > Access Point" and it says "Connection Successful". The only thing I get now is "Identifying..." until I am stuck with the good ol' 169.xx... IP address.
I checked the log for the wireless tether app, and it shows:
Enabling NAT rules... done
Enabling IP forwarding... done
Tethering now running... done
error: SIOCSIFFLAGS (Cannot assign requested address)
I've done a little research on the error and tried a few suggestions (rebuild binary/config files, changing the default LAN IP in awt settings) to no avail.
I also tried disabling WiFi and just attempting to share the 3G connection which still isn't working out (same error). Can anyone help me out with this one? I've also tried awt pre8 with the same results.
I had same setup and problem. Started the supper user app and quit app. Powered down phone restarted phone. After restart WiFi tether worked fine. Don't know why .

Just turn on wireless teather and the go to access conections fine androidap and connect to that. Why do you have to use blue tooth am I missing something? Wireless teather is in the settings with CM6 so you dont need an extra app for teather?
Thanks for the suggestions. I tried opening/closing SU app and rebooting, got the same result.
The reason why I am doing it this way is because I have a PC with only a network card (not WiFi). It's about 30/40 ft. from my router. Rather than buying a wireless card or some cable, I'm connecting via bluetooth and sharing my phones WiFi connection.
I understand if I had a WiFi adapter I could just use the built in Hotspot feature, but if I had WiFi, I would rather connect directly to the router.
I'm definitely interested in this too. At work, we have a no-wireless router policy, and I don't really feel like firing it up and have a guy holding a Fluke wireless network analyzer come and find me.
Bluetooth is alright for what I need. Seems to almost be a kernel issue or something. Worked *perfectly* with my N1, even with pre8. The EVO with CM6 stable isnt working. Just as a note, the wifi portion works correctly.
Actually let me rephrase : The bluetooth section does work, I believe there might be an issue related to the dnsmasq dhcp server not being able to serve IPs. The 'Upload' section of the information panel changes, the Green Download section stays 0.00. The client never receives an IP address, and thats about it.
Logcat didnt really show me much of anything critical error-wise, I'm really hoping that I can downgrade/upgrade a kernel in order to support whatever hardware changes there were between the N1 and the EVO.
I checked the wireless router wifi mode, and it no longer works either. 'Started with errors' is what I get now when in the wifi mode. The built-android wireless tether works fine, but I either wish I could hide the ESSID or have a bluetooth option available.
It *seems* related to the kernel, but logcat doesnt mention anything about not being able to load a module, and the wifi-tether app doesnt have a txt log, or does it?
I have a TP2 with 6.1. I'm trying to connect with a Archos 101 (Froyo) in bluetooth tether. The devices pair but does not tether.
It has made a DUN profile and I put the same APN of the cell.
Strangely it doesn't let me make a PAN connection but i know other guys used it.
I tried also WMWIfirouter trial but it has the bluetooth option disabled...
The device tethers well on usb port connected to xp.
So what can i do to successfully tether the archos with bluetooth?
I have a Evo 4G with CM 7.1 I have used the built in app, but it will not work for my needs. I have looked and used android wifi tether for root users, but I don't think this will work either.
My set up would include a desktop (wired to router), laptop, wireless router, and phone.
What I would like to do is use my phone as a backup connection if my home internet goes down (which happens enough). But since all of my devices are not wireless I have an issue of connecting to the internet though the phone. So I am looking for an app that would allow me to share my phones internet though wifi, but instead of the phone becoming an AP. I would like it to connect to my wireless router. From there I would set up my default gateway to be my phones IP address which would route the packets to my phone. This way all of my pc's and internet enabled devices could have a data connection when my home internet is on the fritz. Now I know alot will say the phone will not have the bandwidth to support that many devices, but I will disagree becuase in my testing I have got 1.7down .7up consistent on my phone which beats my awful home internet at 1.5down and .5up.

I don't see how this will work for me... I want to turn on tethering and connect my phone to a wireless router and then connect my computers to the wireless router also. The router would hand out ip and would set the default gateway to the ip of the phone.
Could you use an app that allows you to tether using USB and connect a usb from the phone to the router?
I was using the barnacle app to wireless tether when I had cm7, but not using a USB.
