Will the Asus Transformer support bluetooth DUN to tether to an android phone (I have a Droid Incredible) with pdanet/similar? I'd prefer bluetooth vastly to using a wifi setup due to battery drain. Has anyone poked around and seen if it can be done? Thanks!
I'm pretty sure it will to a point. On the xoom, bluetooth tethering is built right into honeycomb.
But the one problem is the only program I've got it to work with it the bluetooth tethering with the Wireless Tethering app. PDAnet won't work. I tried it with several phones.
Just fire up one of the older versions of wireless tether with bluetooth still included, and fire up bluetooth tehtering then it should show up as an option under the phone after you've paired the tablet with it.
Works great on my (much older) HTC hero so shouldn't have any problems on the Droid incredible.
Bluetooth Tether to Transformer?
I just want to clarify the original question... I would assume that you mean you want to tether your 3G connection from your phone to your ASUS Transformer?
I would like to know if it works from my Droid 1 to the Asus Transformer, just like the Xoom does. I tested this function at a store with the Xoom and it was easy and flawless. Just hoping it works on the Transformer.
Rooted Droid 1 (Wireless Tether App) -Stock rooted Froyo 2.2.2 (FRG83G)
Wireless Tether App in is Bluetooth mode.

Yup, that's what I meant: Take the 3g connection from my phone, and give it to the Transformer (by tethering the Transformer to the phone).
I have the same question regarding BT DUN tethering. I think the default BT tethering in the Android Honeycomb is BT PAN (not DUN). If anybody can confirm that Honeycomb does have a BT DUN profile, that will be great.
I'm currently using PDANet as well to tether my Evo to my netbook. It works great.
If the honeycomb does not support BT DUN, then most likely I would have to root my Evo and install another custom ROM just to enable the BT tethering.
I have my rooted Motorola Atrix tethered via Bluetooth to share my 3g connection on my transformer. Works a treat and the speed us very good.

Sounds like this will probably work for my rooted Droid 1 then. Maybe this is a feature of honeycomb, the processor or something. At first I was thinking the Xoom worked because both devices were made by Motorola.
My Transformer isnt showing the PAN service from my Samsung Galaxy running Wireless tether
Root in bluetooth mode.
Yes i have allowed the program access in superuser.

Bluetooth tetherng
Does this mean my phone has to be rooted before I can tether it to my TF? I really don't want to root my droid if at all possible. I've seen what has happened to my sons iPad. It was a mess! Also, what app am I installing on my Droid? There are no mention of any apps I need to install.
Thanks!

Did you tether your atrix to transformer using the app pdanet Bluetooth (DUN)? Can you tell us exactly how you set this up? I'm in the midst of getting an atrix and I'm just wondering beforehand. Thanks a lot.
I use wireless tether using bluetooth on my incredible just fine. I am, however, rooted and using CM7, but it can be done. You have to pair the wo together of course.
I was having difficulty connecting my Magic running CM6 to my Transformer via Bluetooth until I was told to install the Bluetooth File Transfer app first. Did that and it connected just fine after.
bluetooth tethering
Eeepad and htc hero.
Htc hero is rooted and the froydvillian 1.7.2-r2 rom and android version 2.2.1.
Installed wireless tether from the market (free).
Eeepad transformer has android honeycomb 3.1 newest update from asus website.
Paired thru bluetooth then start up wireless tether on the phone and there is the extra function under the wrench at the bluetooth menu from the eeepad.
I also enabled bluetooth tethering on the eeepad.
Works great and fast......

Hello, I'm running KFv23 and I can't use either wired tether for root users or built in froyo wired tethering. In the Evil Eris roms, wired tether was built in and worked perfectly. In kaos froyo, I am unable to get wired tether working without any extra software (such as pay-for software for non root). Wireless tether works perfectly, but my phone gets extremely hot when I use it and if I am in a car, wired tether is the most sensible choice. Has anyone been able to get wired tether working in froyo, and if so, share
I don't know specifically but KF is a very new ROM and it's Froyo so don't expect everything to work perfectly.
Not sure about it in KaosFroyo, But i know in the CM6(froyo) test build by tazzpatriot, wired tether worked fine for me..

My Eris fits perfectly snug in the fins of an air conditioning vent in my truck. Even with the fan-only on it stays nice and cool. I just pull it out to use it and pop it right back in.
I just hooked up via USB using Fresh 3.0 to get online and edit this note. Fresh 3.0 is has been a super solid ROM for me too. Flawless a2sd. I have 93 apps and 130M free. All the Froyo ROMs are too inconsistent for me and none of the wired internet works.
*Shrug* I just use PDANet and don't have any problems going that route. EasyTether works too, but you do have to shell out a few bucks for the Pro version (for both PDA and Easy) to visit secure sites which kind of sucks, but where there's a will, there's a way...
I try to pair my phone but It says " paired but not connected " and no option to connect
I get the same thing. It looks like it doesn't have any usable profiles i.e. my headphones shows phone audio and media audio profiles. My BT Keyboard (obviously) shows a keyboard profile. There are no profiles showing for the EVO tho.
The only way I can get my MT4G running CM7 to connect is using wifi tether in bluetooth mode. They coonect easily then. Without it I can get them to pair but not connect.

Unpair the phone from the xoom.
Open wireless tether
turn on bluetooth tethering
open settings
make device discoverable
re-pair devices
then the correct profile will appear.

Well i am not trying to connect for that, im trying to use the xoom as speakers or transfer files or something else.
do i need to run a external app to have them connect after being paired?
When im running a SENSE based rom and not cm7 and i connect via bluetooth on my laptop for instance it will let me play music via my evo to my laptop lol
maybe i should try using a sense based rom and try pairing
i've gotten it to work for a file transfer once. Mikfroyo has no trouble with this though.

You should be able to transfer files after that. Sense roms wouldn't connect for me.

Is there any way to get bluetooth tethering working on Acer based roms?
With Virtuous Galaxy I can tether to my iPhone 4 no problems, but when I use the latest Acer rom I can pair but I always get "Paired but not connected". When I choose the device it shows nothing under profiles. I was really hoping they would have sorted this out in the 3.1 update
Is there a file I can copy from Virtuous Galaxy to make this work?

PDANET in the market. Put on your phone and on your tablet and follow the instructions. Do not seem to work for Verizon phones with Gingerbread at the moment.
Guys,
I have HTC Evo 4g and samsung galaxy tab 10.1 and i can get the two units to pair but i cant share the internet from the evo 4g on bluetooth. The only reason i want to use bluetooth is to save the battery life on the phone. Did anyone was successful and if yes how? Both units are rooted.
I run the evo deck 1.3 rom and it works without issue.

sending internet via bluetooth?
@OP: you cant send it via bluetooth you need to enable wireless tether and tether the two devices...
All I had to do was enable the Bluetooth on both, pair them and hit configure on the device from the tablet and enable tethering.
I am running tiamat kernel on the evo and the 1.4oc kernel on the tab (stock rom), both are rooted. Enabling the connection automatically turns on wireless tether in Bluetooth mode on the evo.
any paid tethering app works for sprints lg g2?
Depends. Wireless no. Wired and bluetooth yes. Easy tether and clockwork seem to work. I've used easy tether bluetooth to my HP Touch pad. Need an app on the pc or tablet for easy tether.
