Here's the situation; I have a Droid 2, on PagePlus, which I enjoy using on wifi when available (at home basically), and the GPS, since PP doesn't give much data. I also have an EnV2, which has verizon service, and I can use for tethering via USB/Bluetooth on PC.
My question to you: Is there a way to tether the Droid to the EnV2 (They've been paired, but Droid only shows 'unpair' option). and use the 3G connection on the EnV2 to give internet (like wifi, not phone capabilities) to the Droid.
I've notice the lack-luster bluetooth capabilities of the droid (unless they be hidden away from me, my precious...)
Basically I want Droid > EnV2 > 3G (via #777 DUN or WAP proxy, whichever way) all via bluetooth. It'd be so much easier if the EnV2 had wifi, but alas, it doesn't.
Serious answers please, this is mainly for times I don't have my laptop (I can EnV2 > ICS Wifi when I have my laptop), just when I have both phones on me and no wifi source for the Droid, wouldn't be much of an issue if the EnV2 actually had a REAL browser with HTML capabilities...
Just for information; the Droid has been rooted.
Why is it impossible to use the tethering by BT between the Archos Gen 8 and more android phone ?
fortunately on the nexus one i wil be create a hotspot
but for another phones have you a solution ?
Hy with Samsung Galaxy 9000 it works very easy. Build up a Mobile Hotspot on the SGS and Connect with to the Archos, works perfectly.

why it don't work for anothers phones
n1 by eg ?
You can get it to work on N1 too ... but I don't think it is built into the phone though.
I use CyanogenMod 6 on my N1, and there are only options to do Wifi Hotspot (which burns battery power like there is no tomorrow) or USB tehtering.
But if you use the app called Wireless Tether, you can use BT tethering between your Gen8 and your phone.
Rockstar from ArchosFans' forums made a vid on how to do that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CN4hBqIyI-U
i use the same
but for many android phones it is not possible
Yeah, I've been posting this same question all over the place begging for someone to help me tether to my Moto Cliq (rooted with tethering enabled). I even asked Archos and they sent me some generic response that didn't help at all.
I know my Cliq can tether, cause my PC can connect to it. But with my Archos, all I get is the "paired, but not connected" nonsense. No matter what I do. It's the same with my N900 as well. I am starting to think that the Bluetooth module on the Archos is defective. But I don't have any other Bluetooth devices to test it out with.
This thing is almost useless to me without tethering as a possibility.
most phones (including android ones) provides ad-hoc wifi tethering only (via 3rd party software), and archos cannot detect ad hoc wifi network.

Android does not officially support AdHoc Networks. Once we have root we can make this work easily.
I did a walk through for bluetooth pan with a Droid X: http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=43001
I tried the same with my wifes inc and it didn't work.
iPhone 4 and BT Tethering
1. Remove all previous BT pairing between iPhone and Archos 70.
2. Se both BT to active and discoverable.
3. Once you see iPhone under "bluetooth devices" in Archos, get it paired.
4. At this point, you will see that status on Archos is "paired but not connected"
5. In Archos, goto "Cell phone tethering", you should be asked to set up a tethering profile for Bluetooth or USB. Select Bluetooth and a new iPhone PAN profile will be setup.
6. Select checkbox for "Tether"
7. At this point, you will see Archos device in iPhone changed to "Connected", and a blue bar at the top says "Internet Tethering".
Bear in mind if iPhone or Archos goes to sleep, my experience is that the Internet connection is gone, no matter if the connection status remains. Therefore, please do not allow iPhone or Archos to go to sleep while you are using the Internet tethering connection.
Hope this works for you.

WiFi Tethering has been introduced with Froyo for most phones. Before that you needed root and some app doing it.
WiFi Tethering with my Desire works great, but I wasn't able to setup Bluetooth Tethering between them. Like there are profiles missing to establish a network connection.
Try the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack, there is a 30 day free trial and it give you PAN. I have a HTC Eris and bluetooth tethering is not possible, it crashes the phone.
I have an Espresso running CM 6.1 and WiFi Hotspot works... Will I be able to use it with the Archos 70?
HTC Magic with Cyanogenmod 6.1 and the app 'Wifi Tethering' in bluetooth mode works perfectly.
I thought wifi tethering was going to eat the battery too.
Was able to tether from ~90% to ~10% for over 6 hours continuously on an Evo running cm6.1.1 with the built-in mobile hotspot.
I posted a .apk in post #3 that has worked for all the rooded android phones i have tried.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887018
use mifi or similar product, i use a product from ZTE and work well. better don't use your android phone for wifi thetering, it will drain your phone battery much faster
use you phone to search for "google wireless tether" and download the apk this is free and works great for BT tethering between my 101 and moto droid 1.

This does not work for us with Sprint. Sprint uses CDMA not GSM. No APN on my Sprint HTC Hero. Tethering works perfectly with my Laptop and my HTC Hero using Bluetooth. NOT with Archos 70 IT.

Uhh... I'm not having problems tethering with BT, Archos 101 and Sprint (HTC) Hero. Not at all sure what makes you think CDMA vs GSM has to do with this.
2.0.5pre7 wireless tether.
I have a droidX, and was syncing the two devices to push a file across them when I saw bluetooth tethering... it works flawlessly. I never even heard about this during all the "screw the data plan, I'll wifi tether my tablet" hoo-ha.
Basically: sync up a phone with the tablet so they see each other.
Then go into bluetooth settings on the Xoom: settings > wireless and networks > bluetooth settings > paired devices > (YOUR PHONE)... and click the wrench icon. There's a tether option right there sitting in broad daylight... no need to even have a rooted handset I guess?
works great for me.
baller status.
Cool! That's great for those of us with OG Droids who can't use infrastructure mode.
I'm curious though. If I'm tethering via bluetooth, will I simultaneously be able to use my bluetooth headset with the XOOM, or my Droid for that matter?

Good lord! This actually freaking works! I'm typing this post from my Xoom that is bluetooth tethered to my droidx. Thank you google for this crazy easter egg
Ok, I may be dumb and not really familiar with bluetooth, but can I get some help with this? I've got them paired, but how do I get them to connect?
so does this mean anyone with a smartphone data plan should not need the pLAN for xoom?
I dont see a tether option.
Same with me, paired but not connected.
Verizon fascinate.
My Dx pairs but is unable to connect :-(
I'm trying to connect to my OG droid and I am having trouble connecting as well. It pairs just fine. To the users having trouble, are you rooted with a custom rom and kernel? I'm trying to narrow this issue since others on the same mobile device are having success.
This doest work on atrix

Do you have to be rooted (on the phone side) to be able to successfully do this? I have a Droid X and tried tethering my PSP the other night and no luck, might be a similar situation.
Droid Incredible. Which is rooted with a custom ROM.
Why not just use "wireless tether" form the market? Or does it not work on the Droid X? I was using it to tether my Xoom to my Evo running on Sprints 4G....
WiFi Tether doesn't work for some of us because Android doesn't connect through ad-hoc. The bluetooth solution sounds like our only option aside from wired tethering.

Is Bluetooth as relatively fast as WiFi?
Not sure.
Maybe someone who is able to do both could do a speed test.
Pair but can't connect with EVO.
Anyone wanna shed some light here? Is it just the Droid X this works with?
The DroidX has trouble with data connectivity(3g) with the current release Wireless Tether app. There is a prerelease 2.07 that fixes this. I am now wifi and bluetooth tethering without data disconnects. Download the release from the wireless tether website.

I tether my droidx to my Xoom to use its unlimited data. Works fine, most of the time, but I do have to stop/start wifi tether on my droidx occasionally.
Update: I downloaded the experimental apk on the wireless tether's site and installed it on my Droid. My Xoom is now able to use my Droid's data via bluetooth option. JACKPOT!

Has anyone got this working yet, I am having problems with bluetooth connection with my iphone 4. it has a hard time seeing the xoom, but the xoom sees the iphone fine. When i finally get it to pair it says "Connection Unsuccessful Xoom is not supported" is there any way around this, also i am using my wii without the on demand service.
I'll definitely watch this thread. I have an iPhone 3Gs and for now only the PDAnet free version. It works nicely to create a WiFi hotspot for my Nook Color but the verdict for the Xoom is still out. I wouldn't be surprised if Apple makes it harder to tether non-Apple products.
I don't think the iPhone supports Bluetooth DUN profile (dial up networking) natively or by default.
Why not use any of the wifi tether apps? You might need to jailbreak.

That's a bummer! I wish that software wouldn't always limit or cripple hardware capabilities...
FWI - Using MyWi implies the jailbreak
im using an iphone4 jailbroken with Mywi 3g and my xoom doesn't seem to see the wifi network that it creates. My only conclusion is that the xoom doesnt see ad hoc networks. can anyone confirm this.
P.s. i cant get Mywi 3g bluetooth tethering working either
Android by default doesn't support ad-hoc networks. The only phone I have seen that does is the droid x and that's because motorola added it in
I can confirm the Xoom (and most android devices) don't work with Ad Hoc networks.
I can also confirm that using a jailbroken iPhone4 with MyWi you CAN tether using bluetooth.
I followed these directions to get bluetooth tethering to work:
1: on XOOM, go to settings>wireless & networks>tethering and portable hotspot and make sure that "Bluetooth Tethering" is UNCHECKED, this is NOT what we want
2: on XOOM, go to settings>wireless & networks> enable airplane mode
3: on XOOM, go to settings>wireless & networks> enable bluetooth
4: on your android phone, go to settings>wireless & networks (or equivalent)> enable bluetooth
5: Make sure that both devices are discoverable, so that they can see one another, should be in settings>wireless & networks>bluetooth settings
6: on XOOM, go to settings>wireless & networks>bluetooth settings>select your phone in order to pair it with your XOOM
7: a box should pop up on both devices, select Pair on both devices
8: on XOOM, once the pairing is complete (still inside bluetooth settings), select the phone, it should say paired but not connected underneath it
9: The two devices should connect, and if it works then the bottom right hand corner of your XOOM should have two bluetooth icons, one should indicated that your bluetooth is turned on and the other should say bluetooth tethered.
Note: That I had to use MyWi to setup Bluetooth laptop tethering NOT the Bluetooth on demand option.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the attempt, but still no luck. my iphone 4 doesn't see the xoom under bluetooth.
It took me several tries but it DOES work.
Are you using a "registered" version of MyWi?
Did you setup "Laptop Tethering" in MyWi?
At step 8, you have to tap once on the phone in the list and then it connects.
Where, exactly, are things going wrong?

Im not using a registered version of MyWi. I dont want to buy it if its not going to work. I don't think this is an issue, since i cant even get the xoom and iphone4 to pair
i have set up laptop tether in MyWi
My main issue is that my iphone does not see the xoom in bluetooth settings.
My Xoom sees my iphone and when i hit pair, it cycles through but doesn't pair with it. i have both set to be discoverable.
any suggestions
look for "tetherme" on Cydia, 2 bucks gets you hotspot and an infrastructure network, no additional carrier fees
Ok,
I had this same issue - more than once. It's a two way pairing and it took me several tries to get it right. You WILL get prompted on each device, and must accept the pairing on each device for it to work.
Try restarting the iPhone and the Xoom.
Make sure the devices are in close proximity.
Then make the iPhone and Xoom discoverable.
Initiate the pairing from the Xoom - if it's working then you will see the pairing message on both devices... takes about 30 seconds for the dialogs to pop up if I am remembering correctly.
Let me know.

On the Bluetooth "screen" in MyWi, there are two sections... the one at the top is for OnDemand tethering of iOS Devices. If you scroll down (working from memory here - I am at work and don't have my iPhone in hand as a reference) you will see a section for setting up laptop tethering.

Hey man, I followed your directions exactly and i can't seem to get the Xoom to get the tether.
I am using a new xoom obviously, and an Iphone 3gs with a paid version of miwi.
I have the bluetooth connection status on my bottom screen, but no others dealing with bluetooth.
They paired fine, and i understand what you meant about the laptop bluetooth and not on demand, and followed the directions perfectly..
The last few steps confused me slightly, is it suppose to say "Connected" or Paired but not connected? I've tried both and neither seem to work.
Please help, I payed 800 for the xoom so i wouldn't have to have a 2 year contract only to find out i cant connect to the miwi ad hoc connection, so if you can help me you will be saving me 35 a month, and i will be able to tether to my unlimited data package iphone.
i will love you
and thank you all up and down this forum.
I am at work right now, and it's a "no cell phone or tablet" zone. Later this afternoon I will see if I can nail down the specifics so others can duplicate what I did.

GOT IT FINALLY
First of all i uninstalled MyWi but im sure this would have worked with it. I only uninstalled it because i like how tether me enables native tethering.
I installed Tetherme Cracked version on iphone 4.. once done reset phone
In order to get them paired but not connected( theres a difference)
make sure your Xoom's Bluetooth is on
turn on bluetooth tethering under Tethering and portable hotspot on your Xoom
make sure your iphone and xoom are discoverable
find your iphone on you xoom and click it
you should get a message on both of your devices to pair hit Okay
then you will see your iphone is paired but not connected
go back and unselect bluetooth tethering under tethering and portable hotspot
mine connected automatically after that and tethering was a go
Let me know if it works for you
Ok!
Both my devices say they are connected, but mywi says there is no active connections, and my xoom doesn't have any other icon besides the bluetooth one.
I've tried a few time, rebooting both devices, and just messing around with the connections.
My Xoom is telling me as far as tethering goes for the bluetooth to my iphone that it's tethered. but it just won't. It will show that its tethered whether i have mywi up or not.

Heres a how to for you android phone users to get mobile data from your phone through bluetooth. We know honeycomb wont play nice with ad-hoc wireless but it will allow you to connect using bluetooth.
I have a an OG droid running Bugless GPA15 2.3.3 build @ 1GHZ.
First download 'wireless tether for root users' from here and install it on your mobile device:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
You MUST have a rooted handset for this wifi tether apk to work. The TF however does NOT need root access.
Step 1: on TF, go to settings>wireless & networks>tethering and portable hotspot and make sure that "Bluetooth Tethering" is UNCHECKED, this is NOT what we want
Step 2: on TF, go to settings>wireless & networks> enable airplane mode
Step 3: on TF, go to settings>wireless & networks> enable bluetooth
Step 4: on your android phone, go to settings>wireless & networks (or equivalent)> enable bluetooth
Step 5: Make sure that both devices are discoverable, so that they can see one another, should be in settings>wireless & networks>bluetooth settings
Step 6: on your android phone, open Wireless tether and go to MENU>settings>and check the "use bluetooth", then back to application homescreen & click the middle of the screen to start tethering.
Step 7: on TF, go to settings>wireless & networks>bluetooth settings>select your phone in order to pair it with your TF
Step 7a: a box should pop up on both devices, select Pair on both devices
Step 8: If done correctly your phone will appear under 'paired devices' in the TF menu, and yellow exclamation point (with the device name) will be displayed on your android handset in wireless tether showing that you have a user connected to your network.
Step 8a: If you have issues click the wrench next to the device name in your TF bluetooth settings menu and make sure in profiles it it says 'Tethering'.
Step 9: TA-DA, if it worked then in the bottom right hand corner of your TF should have two bluetooth icons, one should indicated that your bluetooth is turned on and the other should say bluetooth tethered, you are now using your phones internet data plan on your TF.

I've got a Captivate on AT&T running Cognition rom, and the Transformer connects to its Wifi Access Point feature with no issues.
My Xperia X10 is not supported (not on the list) and I didn't see a generic one..
Any suggestions as to what I could use (or even another app to accomplish the same thing?)

your captivate is probably broadcasting a REAL wifi signal and not a ad-hoc wifi connection like us with our archaic cellphones have to deal with

you shouldnt have any issues running a build for a different device. try downloading and installing one of the apk's and give it a whirl.
Something that I noticed with just a rooted D1 was that although I was able to technically bluetooth tether (TF showed bluetooth tether) I was not able to access the internet. Issue was solved installing a ROM (I went with Cyanogen 7.0.3)
Should there be a noticeable difference between wi fi and BT tethering? I tried to tether via bluetooth and it was terribly slow and I wasn't sure if that is to be expected.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
Thank you very much. Very cool, sent from my tf tethered to my d1 running cm7
does this use less battery than wireless tether?
Why is this better than the wireless hotspot? Bluetooth isn't all that fast generally.
My friend has a droid 1 and I have a Nexus One, we broadcast all the time to tablets, notebooks, etc. I'm ATT and he's VZW.
Most phones cannot broadcast a true wifi connection only adhoc wireless, which honeycomb wont recognize, hence the bluetooth
Hmm, seems odd that honeycomb would have such a limitation. I'm assuming this will be solved in the future with custom roms?

TF Bluetooth Tethered to iPhone
I tried doing wi-fi tethering but it doesn't work with the iphone since MyWi creates an ad-hoc hotspot. The Tf101 is not able to see it.
But Bluetooth tethering works just fine, with my jailbroken iphone 4.
Hmm, I tried this exactly as described but can't get the TF and Droid to connect. It just says "paired but not conneted" and nothing happens.
make sure that wireless tether is set for bluetooth mode and that you clicked start tether before you connect the tf and the droid. Also clcik the wrench to the side of the droid in the bluetooth menu on the tf and make sure it says tethering if not click it.

Yup, did all that in that order and still nothing. Clicking the wrench does show "Tethering" with "Use for internet access" as the sub-text, but clicking that just makes it show "Connecting..." for a few seconds and then back to "Use for internet access"
I guess I should have read more closely, I don't have the right kernel, it was right there in the FAQ's...
I just wanted to note, that "Wireless Tether for Root Users" from the Market is actually totally unnecessary. You can do all of this with an unrooted phone and unrooted tablet if you just skip "Step 6". It is completely unnecessary, at least for my Droid X and other phones that I've tried.
