I running stock rooted EL29 Gingerbread and can't seem to be able to tether my new Asus TF300 to it. I tried the "Wireless Tether" application that was included along with the newer version but no joy. Looked for other tethering apps on the market but Sprint has them blocked. I do not seen an Ad-hoc option on the TF300 and the bluetooth option would pair but the tablet wouldn't connect to the internet.
Any suggestions? I'd prefer to tether through bluetooth if possible for battery life reasons.
Here's what worked for me
I had the same issue, and this combination of apps got Bluetooth tethering working for my TF300 (tethering to my Verizon GNex)
1) Install PDANet Tablet on your TF300
2) Install FoxFi on your phone
3) Go back to your tablet, open PDANet, choose Configure, then follow the prompts
That's all she wrote, worked first try for me and haven't had any problems since. Can't say the same about the tablet itself unfortunately, but that's a whole other thread
Hope this helps out!
If Sprint is blocking tethering apps, you can download both through Blackmart Alpha, just Google around a bit (both apps are free so theres no piracy involved)

That worked great, thanks!
I'm running Bugless Beast ROM on my Nexus S 4G (Sprint). I have not been able to get the tether to work with any instructions I've found, including the above, or with any other number of apps I've tried. I either get connected but no data transfer or the tablet will show "saved" under the SSID that I gave my phone and never connect. This true for both wifi and Bluetooth tethering. I've tethered iPhones and laptops to my phone successfully so I know it isn't my phone. Anyone out there have any other ideas?
I can't seem to find any answers on any forum...

unless you're paying for it, not applicable until we get root.
hang in there, we'll get it
You could use a no-root tether that requires drivers like EasyTether, which is incidentally on sale at Amazon today for 4.99:

I'm just planning on waiting for root, though.

it works on windows PC, Create a dial up connection, pick bluetooth DUN as the modem. start buetooth DUN in PDA net on your phone and have your PC dial #777. unfortunately if you are trying to send to a tablet your SOL.
OK... I want to use the option to use my phone's internet (via Bluetooth) with my Acer Iconia Tab A100. My phone is a Nokia Asha 302, and yes it has BT PAN... When I pair my phone with my Iconia tab it actually has the option to connect and use phones internet, but when I try it connects and nothing else happens... However when I try to disconnect, my phone disconnects and tablet hangs. My computer has no problems connecting to my phone. I'm at my wits end. Any Ideas? File swap Ideas? Config Mods? I'm open to anything.
Thanks
BTW... My tab is sporting the ICS leak with root, unlocked BL, and thor recovery installed.
ok...
So I did more playing around and found out that when I choose to use my phone's internet and don't get any net. But when I do a pand --show --list it shows "bnep0 B4:395:09:8E:F4 PANU" which is a problem when my bt address is really F4:8E:095:39:B4... Not really sure what the deal is...
I also use BT to tether. Latest version of PDANet on the A100 and Foxfi on the phone. They work seamlessly together.
I couldn't get it to work before the ICS leak, but since then both PDANet and Foxfi have updated. It worked fine when I was on ICS leak, it still works now that I have gone back to HC 3.2.1.
Still can't seem to figure this out... I waited for the official release hoping to have this issue resolved, but still have the same problem. It really seems like some sort of Android bluetooth bug. I mean... All I have to do is pair my tablet with my phone and it natively gives me the option to use my phones internet via BT and when I select it, it connects to the phone only to not actually get any internet connectivity at all (even though my PC has no problems doing this). When I try to disable the connection my tablet locks up forcing me to power it down and boot it back up... I'm not sure, but could the problem be due to the fact that this BT PAN connection is a sort of AD HOC protocol? There was a resolution to this with the AD HOC Wifi issue so could there be a similar step to take for this BT PAN issue?
As I said in the post above you, latest version of PDANet Tablet on the A100 and Foxfi on the phone works. It works after the OTA update, too.
Thanks for your reiteration, however... As I posted in the very beginning, my phone is a Nokia... I noted this mostly because Nokia in the past hadn't provided their phones with the bluetooth PAN profile... I bought this phone specifically for this profile and that it had a much faster processor... And as explained above, everything appears as it should even to the point of seeing the available feature of my phone... Android seems to still have some bugs to work out so it looks as if I'll have to wait some more till it's resolved...
a script
I have the same need and same problems. One of my phones has PAN, the other not.
What it worked for me is this:

Whatever!
Got rid of the Acer Iconia Tab A100 and upgraded to the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0... It had all of these features available out of the box... I didn't actually get rid of it, just gave it to my wife... Same thing...
Just was wondering if anyone found a way to get Bluetooth tethering working on this device yet.
Tried foxfi to both a galaxy tab 7 plus and a transformer prime and didn't work for me.
On one occasion it worked briefly but only in Web browser not google play or any apps.
any ideas?

Any ideas at all?
Been racking my head over this for a few days.
So far the other apps haven't updated yet to test for work arround.
No one else tried this?
I tethered to a Nexus 7 and it worked. Foxfi app on S3, pdaNet tablet app on the Nexus 7. The only issue that I noticed is bluetooth DUN on the S3 turn off by itself occasionally so I have to turn it back on and reconnect.
Hi there... struggling a bit with this bluetooth tethering.
So I've done the bluetooth tethering thing before with other devices including my current Razr HD which I sometimes bluetooth tether to my ipad2. There it's a pretty straightforward process.
On the Nexus... not so much. I can get it working, but it's something that takes a little finagling; I have to re-pair the devices if I disconnect.
So after unpairing on my N7, I do the following to make BT tethering work.
1) Select the available device (my RAZR HD for BT tethering) to pair and connect
2) It'll show the pairing code on both devices... I hit pair on them relatively quickly... and then
3) Quickly hit the settings button for the RAZR HD on my N7 screen and select the internet access check mark option. This step has to happen within a few seconds.
If I wait longer than a few seconds after pairing, then if I try to do the internet access check mark... well, it won't work. It refuses to be check marked.
And, as I mentioned before... after disconnecting, I can't just reselect the device to retether; I have to unpair and go through the process again.
Maybe I'll do a video showing success or failure of this if this isn't too clear but... maybe someone can shed some light on this?
Okay... I just did a video of this, showing this thing both not working (by not selecting internet access quickly enough after pairing) as well as working at the end.

I'm having a similar issue with my S4...the Nexus doesn't even see the internet tethering profile and when I try to initiate it from the S4 side, it just goes to "connecting" and then stops.
Bluetooth tethering is working perfectly for me between the Nexus 7 (2013) and my Galaxy Nexus, both running 4.3.

Maybe it's a 4.3 -> 4.2 thing then. I wonder if this RAZR HD will get a 4.3 update anytime soon...
Still really disappointed that my ipad2 just works while the N7 doesn't...
Hey guys so I tether once and a while when needed with my verizon gnex which works just fine with multiple devices like my laptop and nexus 7. I figured this was a piece of cake easy thing for my chromecast as well, but it appears I was wrong. I am currently on the kevdliu 4.3 rom which continues to allow my tethering ability but for some reason my chromecast cannot seem to work with it. Even if I do manage to connect to it which is rare, I cannot then access it from another device*nexus 7*. The cast button doesnt appear and when I then run the chromecast app it states that my chromecast isnt connected and tries to go through the connection process again.
So I know you are all about to say things like "maybe it wont work on the phone" or "this should go in the chromecast threads section" which for the second I almost did, but the interesting thing is my coworker with his galaxy s4 tethered just fine between my tablet and chromecast. He has tmobile and uses the official free one through them as he isnt rooted.
any suggestions?
edit, I am now seeing something interesting. It seems that although both my laptop and tablet appear to be connected to the tethering, if I started using my laptop first then the moment I picked up my tablet it then disconnects me from the internet on my laptop.
Have you figured anything out?
I currently am in the same situation too. I don't have a home wifi yet and use tethering for most of the things I do online.
I can't get anything to work whether trying to set it up from the phone or laptop.
