Hey guys, I know that this might be a stupid question, but I need help connecting bluetooth to my computer. Im really good with Android, but I never use bluetooth. I am using a computer running Ubuntu, and on my Glacier, I am using CyanogenMod 7.1. I paired my phone with the computer and am trying to figure out how to send a file from my computer to my phone via bluetooth. On my phone, it says,"Paired but not connected". Im pretty sure that this is what is wrong, but how do i connect it? Thanks guys
Tap the pair listing in the settings and it should try to connect. You may have to turn on additional functions by long pressing the pair listing.

Nothing happens when I tap it, and when i long-press it, it just comes up with the option,"Unpair"
What ROM are you on? Also, have you flashed Creamed Glacier before?
I ask if you flashed CG because I am having some issues with Bluetooth connecting or pairing to anything since I flashed 6.2. I used to just drop connection and it would auto reconnect. Now, I can see another device, but it will not pair or connect. I get an error about cannot establish communication.
I am working on figuring out what needs to be done to get it fixed. I have done almost everything shy of RUU.
Check to make sure your computer is able to be connected to in its settings.
Oops, forgot to mention that the Bluetooth issue is happening on VU 2.3.9 after using Creamed Glacier. Did a full wipe, restored NAND to switch back. Tried other ROMs and reflashed VU from zip. Also flashed the radio. None of that has worked. Might have to unroot and re-root to solve my problem. Will post results.

Hi All,
First of all Wirless Tethering, I have One click Rooted my epic, and installed the wifi tether app but am not able to transmit signal (other devices cannot detect my wifi transition). In other words it’s not working. Do I have to install a specific kernel for this to work? and if so where would I get it?
Secondly, CyanogenMod and Froyo. Are they available for the Epic yet?, where, if not when?
Finally, Rooting, is there any way to tell that my device is perm-rooted? I want to make sure the rooting was successful even though it should be because my phone restarted like the directions said it would.
Thanks Much, p.s. I just left apple/att for epic/sprint so I don’t know all the terminology, please explain in detail Thanks!!
No cyangen mod 6 yet, or any roms yet, however roms will be coming real soon.
As for checking root try using an app that requires root like titanium backup.
For wifi tether, what version are u using?
Sent from my Epic 4G
for the Tether im using 2.0.5-pre8 istalled via tAttachAPkInstaller. I found this in the forums and people claimed to have success with it. The tether app in the marketplace said it needed a special kernel for it to work, any idea on where to get that and how to install new kernels?
To check root just type "su" in terminal and you should get "#" prompt.

Ur using the right wifi tether app, I use the same and it works fine for me. Idk why its not working for u.

Wifitether is probably working, it only broadcasts AD_HOC mode, which a lot of devices won't pick up. Make sure your Wifi drivers are updated and you are using a computer (not a p2p or DS).
I checked the root by installing titanium backup and it wen smoothly, but this damn tether app is driving me craZY! i have uninstalled and reinstalled the whole proccess and nothing works.... when i first start the tether app the download goes from 0 to .4 kb and the upload goes from 0 to .1 and then bot go back to 0 and thats it...... no other phones or computers have been able to see my signal... anything in the settings might be messing me up?? maybe diff chann?? im currently broadcasting on Chan 11.... even when i use bluetooth to connect it said paired but not connected....WHAT IN THE HELL BOBBY !!!!! i needs some helps
I had the same problem with wifi tether until I updated the wifi drivers on my PC. In my case I could see the network "androidtether" but attempting to connect caused the NIC to timeout requiring a disable/enable to get going again.
Still waiting for someone to get wifi tether working in access point mode. That's one thing I'm really going to miss from my Evo when I switch tonight.
I know its not wifi, but the pdanet tether application has been working great for me on the Epic. Its in the marketplace and can be installed without root. It does USB/Bluetooth, but not wifi.
OK i tried the PDAnet app but i cant seem to pair a friends iphone 4 with my device... i turn on blue tooth then pair then turn on the app and try to connect/repair but it keeps saying "paired but not connected" any settings i have to mess with on this app or the iphone 4 to make this work?
Thanks much for the helps.

I don't think the iPhone's bluetooth supports bluetooth DUN profile, that's why it didn't connect. iPhone's wifi supports ad-hoc wifi though.
I was wondering if anybody else has a problem connecting bluetooth to another device. I was trying to connect to my ipod touch 4g, it pairs but wont connect. Any ideas?

What are you trying to get it to do? There are only so many BT profiles, and you need to have client AND server support on the respective devices in order to get something going. For example, you would need to have FTP service enabled on the mT4G AND have an Bluetooth FTP client on the iPhone in order for that to work. If trying to send contact data, you might need to be in the contact application on one phone to send data to the other. So, it depends on what you're trying to do.
I've read all over the internet of people with MT4G phones being able to connect via the wi-fi hotspot.
I cannot. My computer picks up the hotspot, gets and IP address, and then tells me it cannot connect to the internet. All this in the network control panel. I'm on a MAC.
Worst case I can call and add the 15.00 package and get some trouble shooting then cancel later but I'd rather not have to do that.
Any ideas??
FYI- This happend when stock unrooted and still happening rooted with gorilla sense rom installed.
Thanks in advance....

I am rooted and running Iced Glacier
Didn't the myTouch 4G come out in November?

Anybody have any advice?
I need a little bit more information on your situation.
Does every computer have trouble connecting to the hotspot, or is it just one computer? Can you test it with a few different devices?
On the computer that you have trouble with, try this:
Run --> CMD. When you are in the dos screen, type ipconfig /flushdns
Let me know if that works. If not, answer the question that I posted.
I have also noticed that running some ad blockers will block certain websites from being able to connect when you are using the wireless hot spot. Removing them fixed any problems I had with it.
I had this problem as well. I even.called tmo and added the service for the support, and the did not help.
I wiped and pit a fresh flash of my Rom and it worked fine. Then I restored all my apps w data and it still worked fine.
Then I restored system data and I got the same problem.
So I reflashed and did not restore system data and all is now working..

Dns flush?
Did the dns flush and it still won't connect. Don't think it has anything to do with it. Any other suggestions?

are you rooted?
wireless tether works fine. Try disabling encryption and/or access control and see if it works that way
Yes I am rooted but I haven't tried what you suggested. Thanks and I will give that a go.
Sent from my Evolution
OK, so I tried everything you told me about but it still doesn't seem to work. Here is my situation, I recently got an iPad and want to use my phone as a hot spot so I can connect on the go. The wireless tether turns on but neither my mothers eve or my iPad seems to connect to it properly. They do connect but it doesn't let me do any kind of web browsing. Thanks again for any help.
Which app and version are you using?

Works fine for me... Not sure what the problem would be. Sure access control is off? When you connect your pc, what color is the shield that pops up in your notification bar?

This seems to be the problems on a number of roms. They only way I've been able to get my wifi tether to work is when I've been bone stock. I don't know what might be broken in the process of cooking up the roms for us but something is breaking it. I get the same issue. It connects to my phone but I get no internet signal. Access control and encryption off. Tried changing the ssid and that hasn't worked. They've been tryin to figure out what the problem is on the IRC channel

Not why it doesn't work but now I am on a bare stock rom and still a no go. I have tried connecting my moms evo and it just sits trying to obtain the ip address but for some reason it just never connects.
