I have the HTC one X tegra 3 with IceColdJelly421 V1.6 - 31-01-2013 rom installed.
I also have another android phone with a 3g connection.
My aim was to give this connection to the HTC one X through bluetooth tethering. I know phone to phone tethering is weird but I wanted to try it out.
It did not work! I didn't know if it was my HTC or my other android phone running gingerbread.
So to test this I tried tethering my android phones 3g connection to my nexus 7 following the exact same instructions and it worked fine.
Both the HTC and Nexus 7 are running 4.2.1 so not sure what is wrong here.
There only difference I noticed was for the HTC it was recognized as a phone by the bluetooth on my 3g android whereas the nexus 7 was shown as a laptop, I am talking about the icons inside the bluetooth settings of the 3g android phone.
Any ideas?
Wifi tethering works fine.
Maybe related, maybe not.
I had an issue last night pairing a couple of android devices. My 2 rooted phones (Desire and One X) could see each other and pair easily, but neither of the rooted phones could see my non-rooted tablet (Tab 2 7). Before rooting the One X I had often paired it with the tablet.
Are both your phones rooted?
Could there be a relation between pairing/seeing and rooted/non-rooted or was this just a coincidence?
FYI, worked around the problem with "bluetooth file transfer app" - but dont think it will help with tethering

I’d like to tether a spare Moto Milestone android to another Moto (or HTC) android. I’d mainly like to sem-permanently mount one in my car and able to receive calls on it through one in my pocket (with a sim card). Id’ also like to be able to use GPS-google maps and Nav. on it.
I’d basically be sharing a sim card through blue tooth. Any on have any thoughts?
Thanks, PK
Well for starters I've tried tethering android to android a few times in the past just to sync a phone with no sim and for some odd reason it didn't work. At the time I was rooted using one of the tethering apps from the code.google.com site. But I did find later on that it worked only when I used the built in tether feature in Froyo as opposed to the wifi-tether app I got from the above mentioned site which required root access. Hope that helps. (...I also remember one time being able to tether A to A using one similar to the one I said didn't work for me but it was a newer version so maybe that was just a new improved release)
Well
You will have to tether via Bluetooth. The Motorola Milestone isn't capable of AP tethering and can only create Adhoc networks. There are patches for Android that can make your phone recognize Adhoc though, look into it...
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:

(I improved the script for my needs, but now you have the idea
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...
Anyone using an Andriod phone with their Note 8.0 utilizing tablet talk and all share app? I have an iphone 5 jailbroken which I use for free tethering however I was thinking of getting an andriod phone to take advantage of tablet talk and all share apps. I had a BB torch with the BB Playbook utilizing the bridging functionality and it was great! Wondering if I will have the same experience if I went all Andriod or Samsung. Any feedback would be greatly aprreciated. THANKS in advance!
I use TabletTalk all the time between my Note 8.0 and DROID Bionic. Unfortunately, in comparison to my Nexus 7,there seems to be more issues. The biggest one are the Bluetooth connection of one of the devices (not sure which one might be both) just kinda stupid working between the two devices. The device need a full reboot to connect. This is less frequent between a WiFi connection but still prevalent none the less.
It really probably had something to do with my phone or ROM though. Even when I Bluetooth tether, the device just craps out eventually.

I find after X amount of time Bluetooth has to be turned OFF and then ON again for it to actually work. Otherwise e.g. Tablet Talk connection to my S3 will fail, my keyboard won't be able to connect, etc. Don't ya just love Android and Samsung's Bluetooth capabilities? >_<.
Past that I've had no issues, haven't tried audio or tether yet.
AllShare Play / Link works fairly well and unlike the version on my phone, is still able to see regular DLNA devices (without making me go straight to e.g. Video Player or Gallery). Using it with MiniDLNA on Debian stable, it can be confused and refuse to playback some files with a Foo.jpg cover art file assocaited with Foo.m4v, etc. Third party solutions for DLNA are widely available on Google Play.
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...
I've found a lot of references to non-working bluetooth tethering issues all over the web, but none seem to be like my current issue.
Here's my procedure:
- turn on bluetooth tethering on my HTC One M8
- pair my Nexus 7 2013 to my HTC One M8
- tell the Nexus 7 2013 to use the HTC One M8's Internet connection
Everything appears to work fine. I get a notification on my phone that says "Tethering or hotspot active", and my tablet says it's "Connected to device for Internet access". There's a bluetooth icon in the status bar of each device. So far, this is exactly how I expect things to go...
...except it doesn't work. If I open up Chrome on my tablet and try to browse, it tells me "You are offline". Clicking on the More button gives me the text: "Wi-Fi and mobile data are turned off". Same if I try to use the Play Store, "No connection".
I've been trying to get this to work for weeks now. It completely befuddles me. Using my phone as a WiFi hotspot work fine, but not bluetooth tethering. Why?

Same story with my HTC One, shame. It's actually a sad flashback, my HTC Glacier acted the same way. I had to root the darn thing and change to Cyanogenmod to get bluetooth tethering working, despite being a supposedly supported feature. It appears HTC has a practice of keeping the checkbox active, but does not actually support bluetooth tethering. Sigh, it is a disappointment as I was hoping to finally have a phone where I could use the advertised features without having to install after-market firmware. Yet another letdown from Android. At least Samsung was honest about screwing its customers by disabling features. =-)
erm... I am rooted and running aftermarket ROM (Android Revolution HD). With the stock ROM, trying to enable the feature would pop up a window telling me I have to pay for the feature through AT&T. This is one of the reasons I went to a different ROM in the first place.
So why isn't it working? And why is it pretending to work?
