[Q] Bluetooth PAN with iPhone 3GS

Hi everyone,
This is my first time on this forum and I have looked around to find if someone had done this before.
I have the A7 running the Dexter Mod v 1.3 with the bluetooth fix. So far, it works with my Bluetooth keyboard; but I am unable to pair it with my iPhone 3GS so I can use its 3G connection to surf the net. I am not sure if this can be done with the eLocity or not, but I know my iPad WIFI can not do this so I am hoping my eLocity can.
Thanks in advance.

The best way to do this, without using bluetooth. 1) Install the adhoc fix on your elocity 2) get mywi from cydia.
The combo works great for me.

This assumes that he has jailbroken his iPhone, or even wants to tho. There has to be a way to tether via BT.

That's correct. I do not want to jailbreak my iPhone 3GS. I am hoping that with the new iOS 4.3, WIFI tethering will be included as opposed to the beta that's out there now. I am wondering if the bluetooth option will work with the elocity A7. My iPhone 3GS said it is connected, but the elocity A7 reports that it is paired but not connected.
Anybody else here?

[Q] Bluetooth DUN from Nook Color to BlackBerry

So, I have been playing with the latest CM 7 build on my Nook Color that has Bluetooth enabled. Are there any applications that can Bluetooth tether a android tablet to a BlackBerry? I've got PDANet on my BlackBerry so it is advertising a bluetooth network conenction, but there isn't anyway I know of to connect to it using Bluetooth DUN. I know Ipas has the iBluever....is there anything similar in android world?
On a side note, bluetooth has been working well for copying contacts, video and pics. I don't have anything else to try pairing with (except my laptop) so limited in what I can test. All in all, can't wait for this to get rolled into the honeycomb build (if that is possible).

Now that I got BT working on my NC with CM7 I am also looking to teather my nc to a nokia E52..

Not sure about bumping etiquette around here, so I hope I'm not stepping on any toes, but I'm also interested in tethering a non-Android/iOS phone to my NC over bluetooth. I have a Sony Ericsson W760, which tethers really easily to any PC with SE's PC Suite application. The devices will connect, allowing the phone to act as a remote for the NC (maybe useful if NC is connected to a stereo for music) and allowing one-way file transfer from phone to NC, but that's it. I'd love to tether 3G, GPS, or even the camera and mic/speakers.

I would think it wasn't possible because of BlackBerry limitations (I'm a pretty hardcore BB geek) but as the OP points out, iBluever does it for ipod.
Maybe a dev here would be able to do something like this?
Just spent about 15 minutes googling it and couldn't find any app that would do it.

I was able to set it up per the instructions, attempting to pair my NookColor to a Sony Ericsson W760 (JAVA powered walkman phone), but attempting to connect caused my NC to freeze twice in a row, requiring a hard reset.

Bluetooth devices that work

I thought I would start a thread for what works and does not for bluetooth.
My A500 connects and works perfectly with:
Sony headphones model DR-BT21G
Freedom Pro keyboard set to HID - no special driver needed
Think Outside folding Keyboard - this is no longer on the market

My wii controller using wiimote controller and pce.emu from android market.
Wiimote controller lets me play with all the tiger emus and pce.emu has native wiimote support.

Why no one seems to be annoyed by this bright spot in the right of the screen??
It is only noticeable in bright colored backgrounds (white, light blue etc), but it completely goes away on dark backgrounds and you cant notice it at all.

I ve seen this issue on every device i ever hold in my hands (demo display devices o9n stores), including my own.
I have started a thread about this some days ago : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1077527&highlight=light+bleeding , but there seems to be only few ppl worried about this..
So i wonder, does everyone else suck it up and live with it?? Maybe you havent noticed it yet?? Maybe its not so bad on your device ?? Maybe you dont have it at all ??
As far as i m concerned it really pisses me off when i look at this spot on a white background !!!

Sony DR-BT100CX Bluetooth headphones working great, incl. player controls (pause/play, FF, RW). I haven't tried the headset's microphone, but suspect it might not work yet based the user manual:
user manual said:
Note: Only A2DP stereo headsets (without microphone) are supported.
Please check for updates to the tablet's software which may add support for
additional Bluetooth devices.

The Palm Wireless Keyboard (3245WW) works perfectly. Saw no reason to buy a different one when I had this one laying around collecting dust. You can still find them used and a rare few that are new. I'm pretty sure this is just a Think Outside keyboard with the Palm brand on it.
I have also gotten the Wii Remote working well with a Nintendo 64 emulator. I'm using WiiMote Control and N64oid.
I'll be following this thread because I'm looking to get some wireless headphones.

Dude! Thanks for ruining my tablet for me! I hadn't notice this white spot at all...!

Targus Bluetooth keyboard for iPad
So far, I'm liking this keyboard. A few of the buttons are marked a bit oddly for Android, but overall, I really just wanted the basics. A few of the specialty keys work well - magnifier bring up search, volume keys work, arrows scroll and pan...
So, yeah..not too bad and pretty low profile as well. Operates off two AAA batteries Paired very easily. Occasionally after a long period of not being used, I have to turn it off and on again, but it reconnects Very Quickly.
Very Happy until the next one that's perfect comes along.

my jaybird bluetooth headphones work great.

Qstarz BT-q818 bluetooth GPS unit.
I use my tab as a moving map in the airplane where the tab doesn't have a clear view of the sky. the BT GPS has a 42 hour rechargeable battery and works quite well. Download the Bluetooth GPS App from the market and enable Mock Locations to get it to work.

other than it being pricey, this works on my tab. I mainly use it for my media center

I got mine at Best Buy - they did not have the "Android" model but the one for iPad is the same product.

bluetooth tether with htc hd2 (winMo). any luck?

has anybody managed to get an internet tether from a stock (winMo) hd2 through blutetooth?
i know it can be achieved via an HD2 droid ROM but i'm specifically asking about stock winMo.

Bluetooth pan works from my g2. What does the hd2 use? Pan or Dun with Bluetooth?

the hd2 supposedly uses PAN also but when i select start/tools/internet sharing/bluetooth pan/ connect (to the TF), i get "checking services", then:
"failed to establish internet sharig connection to remote device as it supports only network access point (NAP) mode".
stumped.

On my gw all I have to do is turn on its Bluetooth then on the Transformer I find my g2 in the Bluetooth devices and select it. Then I get another screen asking to connect to Internet. And that's it. G2 uses Pan.

tried it that way. i just don't get the "connect to Internet?" option on the TF; only "rename device" and "unpair".
i wonder if there is a hack to make the hd2 BT work like your g2?
if so, i haven't found it, alas.

your gonna have to install Cyanogen Mod 7 nightly. They just added the BT PAN function a couple days ago. Be warned though the performance of BT PAn isn't that good. They Highest i could get on a download was 1.5 Mbps and that a limitation of bluetooth. You'll do better using the built-in wifi hotspot in CM7.

quick update: i tried moving sims from my hd2 to my old tytn II and guess what? bluetooth tethering either directly via the OS or via wmwifirouter v1.52 now works perfectly! so something is definitely borked in the hd2.
works pretty fast too. i was impressed but it's really frustrating that my old tytn II can do what my shiny new hd2 cannot!
i have v2 of wmwifirouter in my hd2 which no longer supports bluetooth tethering. might try downgrading it to v1.52 to see if that makes a difference.

another update:
i downgraded to wmwifirouter v1.52 on my hd2 and the bluetooth option was greyed-out just as it is in v 2.00.
then i downgraded further to wmwifirouter v1.25. bluetooth option was now selectable! but ...
alas! while the TF pairs, it doesn't provide an internet option to it.
i tried it every which way: start bluetooth then wmwifirouter and vice-versa but no joy.
looks like the winMo hd2 is well and truly useless for bluetooth pairing to the TF, so unless anybody else has any ideas i'll probably give up at this point.

Solution: ICS Unstable wifi tethering with Macbook air

I encountered unstable Wifi tethering with my macbook air since I started using misc. ICS ROMs. The IP communication is lost and I need to disable and re-enable wifi on the macbook to continue communication.
After fighting this bug for months, I believe I have found the cause and a workaround solution:
I believe the problem is caused by putting the Android phone too close to the macbook air. Apparently the transmit level is too high.
Putting the phone at least 1 meter away from the macbook seems to solve the problem.
I travel 2 hours/day on the train with tethering on. I need to put the phone behind my back to have a stable connections.

Personally, I've never had an issue tethering my Macbook Air to my Note.
Then again, I'm using Bluetooth tethering anyway.....
Why not try that instead?
Regards,
Dave

bluetooth ? alternative ?

Thanks,
I used bluetooth for some time but this had some other disadvantages (I cant remember - slower? interruptions in the music on my bluetooth headset? - more battery use ? )

I've not had a speed issue myself, and I believe that BT tethering should always use less battery than WiFi.
Whilst I do frequently used BT headphones, I never do so whilst tethered.

This is exactly what happens with my Verizon Galaxy S3 with CM10 and my MacBook Air.
I will try your solution and see if it helps...
Thanks for posting your findings!

I also found by setting the MTU size to 1453 seemed to help.
