Share phone connection with TF101 via bluetooth - Eee Pad Transformer General

Hi, as the title said, I’d like to know what app are you using to share your phone’s 3G connection with the TF101 using bluetooth.
I tried everything but none works. Pdanet, etc.
And every single app does only wifi theter, not bluetooth.
Simply, i don’t know what to install on my Galaxy S2; I’d buy anything if sure that it’d work.

Does your phone model not support wireless hotspot??
Just saw that it is a galaxy s2, which means it should support wireless hotspot..you should root your galaxy and flash a rom with wireless hotspot hack enabled, no app needed.

First you'll have to root your Galaxy SII, if you're not ready/able to do that you can't really use bluetooth for tethering (I haven't found one that works WITHOUT root)

Thanks guy, buy my galaxy s2 is rooted since the first day I got it, and by the way here where I live the wireless hotspot is not disabled, it works also without root.
I don’t want to make my phone become an Hotspot, because it waste a lot of battery. I’d like to share connection via bluetooth so I can keep it always on without enormous battery drains. Which one do you use, No_u?

Here's the steps I performed to use Bluetooth internet sharing with my Motorola Milestone 2. I learnt that from a friend who paired an Asus Slider with his iPhone, so I'm pretty sure Samsung Galaxy S2 will be able to support Bluetooth internet sharing without root..
One-time set up (configure Bluetooth pairing)
- Turn on Bluetooth on both devices
- On Galaxy S2 (or other smartphone which support Bluetooth internet sharing profile), activate "Discoverable" mode.
- On Asus TF101, (under Bluetooth settings menu ya?), search for the smartphone and select to pair.
Every time when you want to activate internet sharing via Bluetooth
- Turn on Bluetooth on both devices,
- On Asus tF101, under Bluetooth settings -> Paired devices, press on the smartphone to 'connect
Done! Enjoy internet via smartphone Bluetooth.

TF101 support Bluetooth Tether (use phone as modem) with bluetooth PAN profile.
When pair with a phone has bluetooth PAN profile (it has 1 more icon in device list, just like A2DP profile has a headphone icon), just click on it to connect.
Many phone have bluetooth DUN profile (Dial-up Networking) but just a few have bluetooth PAN profile (personal area networks). I bought a SonyEricsson Cedar J108i for this function
You have to search in user manual, phone wiki page, ... to know what Bluetooth profile is supported.

BlueTooth WLAN?

Is there any BlueTooth WLAN?
Something like BlueTooth GPS.
If I have this BlueTooth WLAN, it will be so greeaatt!!!
Best regards,
Arto
I did see such a device but can't remember what it was called. Pocket Bridge or something. Mind you there was also meant to be a bluetooth hard drive haven't seen thouse mentioned for a while either.
There are two ways to connect to a LAN using BT, and only one of them is currently working with the BT implementation on the Magician.
The first, and best, way would be to get yourself a BT access point and connect it to your LAN. Need I say that this is the method that will not work with the Magician?
The second way, which will work on the magician, is to get a bluetooth dongle/card for your pc, create a wireless Activesync connection and use network passthrough.
Here is a device that will bridge bluetooth to wifi but it doesn't look very small:-

This is the first option I wrote about. It will not work with the Magician.
And if it did work with the Magician, why would you worry about the size? It is not something you carry around! It is like a WLAN access point but for bluetooth, you plug it in to your network and then you can connect the bluetooth device within a certain distance.
Need I tell you again, this will NOT, i repeat NOT work with the Magician. At least not with the current BT stack.
That's a shame it wont work. The reason I would want to carry it is because it can act as a bluetooth access point from a Wifi network. This would let you just public wi-fi hotspots without having a wi-fi card poking out of your magician and even have a 2GB SD card in there at the same time.

[Q] Bluetooth dialing via Tab

I have both SGS and SGT.
SGS is used as a phone, has a sim in it. Tab does not have a sim and doesnt need one since its used as WiFi only.
My question is can i use Tab as a dialling/speakerphone device via bluetooth ? Curiosity mostly, but i would use the feature if its possible.
I used my Garmin Nuvi 765 as a handsfree device in my car hooked to my old HTC Touch Pro.Can i do something similar with tab being handsfree part ?
I would like to know as well. It would be great to be able to answer calls on the tab via Bluetooth from my phone.

[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.

2.1 Bluetooth DUN

Has anyone actually got Bluetooth DUN working under 2.1 ?
I've tried multiple computers, multiple bluetooth adapters and none of them see my X10 as offering the Dial-Up service. What the hell? I thought 2.1 was supposed to get Bluetooth DUN.
Bluetooth on Android is bloody terrible.
it has to be implemented from the kernel side, I have played before with some chinese android tablets and I could make a DUN connection to my nokia.
Also some archos tablets comes with this functionality on by default, even has a nice menu on wireless settings to set it up

Send notifications to another device via bluetooth (android radio)

Hello:
I have an android bluetooth radio in the car and I would like to know if there is any application, how are you for smarthwatchs, which sends notifications via bluetooth without internet
since I have found some that synchronize notifications but over the internet, and I only give the internet to the radio when I'm interested
Cheers

Unfortunately AFAIK there are no Bluetooth-only apps for this job, but there is one free/no-ads app that works via WiFi, so the head unit has to be connected to the same wireless network as the smartphone (hotspot usually, or a usb wifi dongle). No internet required.
The app is EasyJoin Essential
https://easyjoin.net/android.html
You can get it also on XDA.
I've tested it, a received notification can be shown on the HU in 3 ways: as a standard notification, as a popup, or as a toast.
Due to the small text visibility problems and to the short time when the notification remains on screen I prefer the popup way which remains on screen until you click on the X in the window's upper right corner.

Thank you very much, but every time I get in the car do I have to make an access point?
Or can I make my phone connect to the wifi of the automatic car?
On the other hand I have tried https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lumatjiang.watchdroidassistant&hl=es and it works on two mobile phones
but in the android head unit you never get to connect, not even with QR
I have set a Tasker task to start the smartphone hotspot as soon as the smartphone bluetooth is connected to the head unit.
Then the HU wifi automatically finds the smartphone hotspot and connects to it.
Then you can set another tasks to start the EasyJoin app, or manually start the app on both devices.
It's not very easy to setup, but can be done with a little effort.
Other similar apps (free and simpler)) can be used instead of Tasker.
I will try to see if I can share the connection by bluetooth
The bluetooth stack of the android head units has apparently reduced functionalities compared to the smartphone and smartwatch bluetooth stacks, so even bluetooth tethering is generally not available.
it's true, it doesn't connect to the internet with bluethoot
