[Q] Bluetooth Tether With WM6.5

So I have searched high and low and haven't had any luck finding any information about tethering the TF to a WM6.5 device. I am currently using a stock Touch Pro 2. When I pair the two devices together, under the BT settings on the TF there are no profiles listed. When I try to set up a network with the phone using "Share Internet Connection," I get the error message saying "Failed to establish internet sharing connection to remote device as it supports only Network Access Point (NAP) mode."
If anybody could shed some light on how I could actually get the the TF to tether with my phone, that would be greatly appreciated!

I have a Tilt2 running energy rom, normally i'd run wifi-router then all is well.
Apparently the Transformer doesn't accept AD-HOC and idk when it will be supported. The only way i can tether through wifi was to install FRX06 android.
Here's a link

Once you get to run android on your TP2 go to Settings -> Wireless and Networks -> Tethering & portable hotspot -> check the portable wi-fi hotspot box. You may add a passcode if you want but it will be defaulted to Open.
I've tried it and it works! Good luck!

+1 This is the only way you can get it to work on the phone side that I can find. Works flawlessly.
Transformer wont see 6.5 tether unless you root it.

Works fine for me, but slightly counter-intuitive. Firstly I paired the Phone and Transformer:
1. Set Phone to discoverable
2. Scan for devices on TF
Secondly, run Internet Sharing App (its in the tools folder on my WM6.5)
Select Bluetooth PAN instead of USB from the top dropdown and hit Connect
Now on the TF, selecting the Phone from the bluetooth settings should tether you
No rooting or modding of the TF required. Note this is Bluetooth tethering, not WiFi which doesn't work as WM6.5 WiFi tethering is Ad-Hoc, whci TF does not support without root and mod

Hi!
What version of Energy Rom are you using? for some reason i can only see USB on the dropdown, no Bluetooth. This is the internet sharing program.

I tried this method, but for some reason it still doesn't work. On the phone it says the following.
"Failed to establish Internet Sharing connection to remote device as it supports only Network Access Point (NAP) mode"
Also on the TF it still shows no profiles available with the phone. From what I have read in the forum is that the Touch Pro 2 is using the Broadcom Bluetooth stack and it doesn't' play very nice with other devices.

Which phone do you have? I have the same exact problem asthe OP using my Sprint TP2. I dont see Bluetooth PAN option in my TP2.

I was informed that if even our 6.5 devices would have that option to have bluetooth PAN active, our Transformers doesn't support DUN. Basically, it would be pointless to get internet through this bluetooth method Only thing that will happen is that we can share files with our WM 6.5 devices with our Transformer.

I have Omnia 2 running WM 6.5 using wmwifirouter (use trial version first). Launch using 3G BT, then under options - tools - Bluetooth - Swithch mode to PAN, then switch to discoverable.
Connects great - not the fastest, but I'll wait until we can have ad-hoc work or until I learn more about rooting.

i was able to to do blue tooth tether of Treo Pro 6.5 (raiderfan rom) Ill try it again once i get home and post details (in case it helps anyone)
mt TP2 screen broke and currently on my palm centro...(yes,,go ahead and laugh..haha)
might connect my tp2 just to try the tether. that phone is on a ENergy ROm

Not using Energy ROM, running stock HTC WM6.5 on a Touch Diamond 2. If you don't get Bluetooth PAN in your drop-down I guess your ROM does not support it

Aye, Not only the Rom, but the device itself on wmwifirouter
http://support.wmwifirouter.com/devices/
HTC Touch Pro 2
AT&T Tilt 2
HTC Rhodium
Sprint Touch Pro 2
Support from version 1.50. Sharing using Bluetooth not currently supported.
Guess i have to research more for alternatives.

Fellow TP2 owner here, I just pushed the modded file over to the TF (need root of course) and WIFI tethering works like a champ for me. Need to keep the phone screen active from what I can tell but I'm just using the built in HTC WIFI Router, 3rd party apps might have other options.
So while Bluetooth might be nice it seems like a no go for us old school TP2 owners...

I guess it all depends on what rom you use.
I'm using the 1st generation touch pro with NFSFAN's rom. Bluetooth is right there under the internet sharing application and works flawlessly with my TF.

I don't think it's so much ROM specific as it is PHONE specific. Haven't heard of any TP2's that work with bluetooth tethering looking across multiple forums on the subject.

[Q] Any way to tether TF with Android Phone after Carriers' Crackdown on Tethering?

Is there Any way to tether TF with Android Phone after Carriers' Crackdown on Tethering?
I have all the apps i could possibly need installed on my phone, yet even after paired with my transformer via BT, and the transformer showing it being connected to the internet. I get 0 data going from my phone to transformer.
I've tried PDAnet 3.0, Barnacle and WIFI Tether. No dice.
And you can rule out not knowing how to do it, I've been tethering for the past year only started being an issue after the crackdown.

Not sure what you mean by 3g Hack... but i found something that works. Freezing data manager service with Titanium made everything work again. How exciting! Though, i think data transfer is super slow...

Have I missed something? Crackdown on tethering?
Edit : looks like its US only at the mo.
Can a carrier tell if data is from the phone or via tethering????

I tether just fine on my mytouch 4g running cyanogen mod 7. I dont think carriers notice if you tether another android device because on their end it just looks like an android device accessing it, not a laptop or such. I think they check user agent strings. I've honestly never had a problem tethering on TMO and never got any text or anything about it being blocked. I do keep an eye on my data usage just to make sure I dont raise any red flags in their system. I havent tried tethering my laptop since the crackdown but I did install a plug in for firefox that allows you to change the user agent string so the servers think it's an android device accessing the network

Hey Guys, been following this thread since I ordered from Best Buy, finally decided to join and post. I have mine coming on the 12th hopefully.
I read about the crackdown on tethering but from what I understand they are just making the tethering apps not show up in the market, they are not necessarily doing anything to prevent tethering.
I am currently using wireless tethering on my droid 2 with the Ipad 1 and have been for quite some time without a problem. Hope that helps and love this forum, thanks guys...

One thing to note is that Honeycomb doesn't recognize Ad-Hoc networks. You may be having problems if you're trying to set up your phone as a wi-fi hotspot. Trying using the bluetooth tethering options.

Hi, i've just found out how to connect my phone (xperia x10) to my just arrived transformer.
I've been looking all through the forum to find out how to share my phone's connection but i didn't find any solution so, i hope, my reply will help at least you not to waste time any further
Simply install "PdaNet Tablet" both on your tablet and your phone (yes, PdaNet TABLET also on your phone).
This is how it worked for me:
1) Start "pdanet tablet" on your transformer and set the proxy hostname and port as stated in the program (127.0.0.1 and 1234)
2) Start "pdanet for tablet" on your phone and click "enable pda server"
3) Wait a few seconds
4) Allow your phone to open bluetooth and be visible
5) On your tablet, on the "pdanet tablet" screen click "tap to discover new phones"
6) On your tablet click on your phone's name
7) DONE!
I hope this helped

Crazy idea, wait for it....pay.

Then the connection will drop after browsing 2-3 web pages.
At least that's my experience with the PDANet Tablet.
Email client and GMail client do not seem to work either.
I hope they will fix it and make it stable, its a good solution for people with stock ROM (both phone and tablet).

[Guide] Bluetooth Tether and File Transfer

There multiple threads dealing with how to get Bluetooth tether to work here is how.
First you need a rooted Android phone.
You must have a phone that running a kernel that has "CONFIG_BT_BNEP" compiled into the kernel you are using.
Otherwise it won't work.
1. Download Android Wifi Tether App version 2.0.7 (do not download higher versions because bluetooth option is not there.
2. Go to your phone turn on bluetooth.
3. Go to your TF -> Settings -> Wireless & Network -> Enable Bluetooth.
Then in TF make Discoverable under Bluetooth Settings.
4. Now you can pair the phone with the TF by scanning for device under your phone.
Hit confirm to pair on both devices. You will notice that both devices will show the other device as "paired but not connected."
5. You need to now go to Wireless & networks settings under the TF -> Tethering & portable hotspot -> enable Bluetooth tethering.
6. Now go to the Wireless Tethering app on your phone. Menu -> Settings -> Enable Use Bluetooth, Enable Discoverable, Enable Access-Control
7. Exit out of the Settings in the Wireless Tethering app. Enable Bluetooth Tether.
8. Go back to the TF under Bluetooth Settings you should be able to tap the your phone device and get the tethering option.
9. You may need to allow the TF on your phone's Wireless Tethering app.
To get Bluetooth File Transfer to work download the Bluetooth File Transfer app from Market to both devices then you are done. No rooted device needed.

Bumping this so people who need to see it, see it. Also added to ultimate thread. Good job.

I did this just last night and tethered to my DX. I didn't have the Wireless Tether app, so I had to go find it - not on the market since the carriers are *****ing about tethering, but I was able to find it from the developer.
Set it to BT tethering, paired the devices and hit the wrench icon on the TF, and BAM! Tethered!
I won't use it very much at all, but I'm taking a couple weeks off and will likely do a 4 day road trip with a friend, so having a connection out on the road will be nice.

Just a heads up.. running a rooted D1 I was able to get my TF to bluetooth tether but not to share the 3G. Installed a ROM (CM7) and was good to go with 3G bluetooth tether working like a charm.

Saves way more battery than wifi tether and also better speed.

Bluetooth options are disabled under wifi tether. I have enabled bluetooth on my rooted thunderbolt and the TF and both see each other. But I cant proceed further.

I tried this and the wifi apk said I didn't have the correct kernel and so this didn't work...and some of the options were greyed out.
I have an X10 with cobrato's MIUI installed and the stock kernel.

Mine worked great the last time I used it (a couple of weeks ago) but now it won't connect to my phone.. No idea why

You shouldn't have to use a tethering app to use the bluetooth tethering on the droid x. You can set up the tethering through the stock wieless and network menus on the DX and transformer.

[HOW TO] FINALLY got my DROID 1 paired with TF for 3G access

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.

[Q] Pairing with TF101 tablet

I have looked but can't find a solution. I have the transformer 101 tablet and can't get it to connect to my tmobile mytouch 4g. I'm posting in this forum because I can get the tablet to connect to my computer so I figure it has something to do with the phone. I'm trying to get a bluetooth connection so I can tether. I don't use much data but I'd like to know I could do it with the tablet and make a connection if wifi not around. I have rooted and installed stock Android 2.3.4. I don't know much about Bluetooth or WIFi but from my readings I'm think it might have something to do with PAN BT profile. If this is the case, is this a software thing? Is their a ROM that has the PAN BT profile? I like some of the Sense Apps so I'd like to stay with a stable Sense ROM. I'd like to be able to stream Navigator when I need it or brows the internet while waiting in the parking lot for my husband. Yes I can do it on the phone but my eyes are bad and a larger screen is so nice. I don't come anywhere near a GB of data each month...just want to be able to connect when sitting in my car and give myself a bigger screen.

I must be missing something here. Why not install wifi tether or one of the myriad sense 3.5 ROMS in the dev section that ALL have a working wifi hotspot?

Well my thinking may be wrong on how Bluetooth and wifi work but I was thinking there isn't always a wifi connection, but there would always be a signal with bluetooth connecting the tablet to the phones 3G and 4G. I was hoping that, if tablet paired to phone when traveling, I could use the bigger screen on the tablet and navigation would run like on the phone. I'd like to use the tablet as much as possible and I'm thinking that in the country there wouldn't be any wifi hotspots. Sorry if I've got this all wrong. Most of the time I would use wifi and I've only used that at home or work....never hotspots.
As far as ROM's go, I was thinking of the Virtuous Affinity or Unity ROM's but didn't know if they were going to give me the bluetooth connection I was looking for. I can't remember but thought I read that you couldn't do some things in 3.5 that you could do with ealier versions. Do you know why the tablet can't connect with the MyTouch? Is it the PAN BT profile. I know the tablet doesn't do adhoc. Sorry but I did try to read up on it. I was just thinking of the message I see. They are paired but they wont connect. I click on the bluetooth device but it doesn't connect

I've tried to understand what your asking but I'm still confused. Are you trying to make a wifi hotspot off your phone, then connect your transformer to the hotspot, to use the internet?
If I helped, give thanks, if you please.

There a couple things wrong with this post 1) the tablet does support and use AD-HOC tethering. I know that for a fact because I've had people connect to my home network via my tablet just to show off. Pretty embarrassing making them use my Android Tablet to connect their iPad to my home network. 2) If you are just wanting to use your tablet as a navigation unit, use the Google maps while you are connected to WiFi to find directions to where you want to go, then press the navigate button. It'll work w/o a data signal. I've done it several times. 3) you don't need blue-tooth to bridge the Tablet to the phone. This doesn't work like Blackberries and the playbook. You can use the Wi-Fi Tether .apk from Google's source code to do just that. [http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list] 4) There has to be a blue tooth stack installed on the Phone, and on the Tablet that will allow them to share blue tooth connections for Internet.
