Why is it impossible to use the tethering by BT between the Archos Gen 8 and more android phone ?
fortunately on the nexus one i wil be create a hotspot
but for another phones have you a solution ?
Hy with Samsung Galaxy 9000 it works very easy. Build up a Mobile Hotspot on the SGS and Connect with to the Archos, works perfectly.

why it don't work for anothers phones
n1 by eg ?
You can get it to work on N1 too ... but I don't think it is built into the phone though.
I use CyanogenMod 6 on my N1, and there are only options to do Wifi Hotspot (which burns battery power like there is no tomorrow) or USB tehtering.
But if you use the app called Wireless Tether, you can use BT tethering between your Gen8 and your phone.
Rockstar from ArchosFans' forums made a vid on how to do that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CN4hBqIyI-U
i use the same
but for many android phones it is not possible
Yeah, I've been posting this same question all over the place begging for someone to help me tether to my Moto Cliq (rooted with tethering enabled). I even asked Archos and they sent me some generic response that didn't help at all.
I know my Cliq can tether, cause my PC can connect to it. But with my Archos, all I get is the "paired, but not connected" nonsense. No matter what I do. It's the same with my N900 as well. I am starting to think that the Bluetooth module on the Archos is defective. But I don't have any other Bluetooth devices to test it out with.
This thing is almost useless to me without tethering as a possibility.
most phones (including android ones) provides ad-hoc wifi tethering only (via 3rd party software), and archos cannot detect ad hoc wifi network.

Android does not officially support AdHoc Networks. Once we have root we can make this work easily.
I did a walk through for bluetooth pan with a Droid X: http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=43001
I tried the same with my wifes inc and it didn't work.
iPhone 4 and BT Tethering
1. Remove all previous BT pairing between iPhone and Archos 70.
2. Se both BT to active and discoverable.
3. Once you see iPhone under "bluetooth devices" in Archos, get it paired.
4. At this point, you will see that status on Archos is "paired but not connected"
5. In Archos, goto "Cell phone tethering", you should be asked to set up a tethering profile for Bluetooth or USB. Select Bluetooth and a new iPhone PAN profile will be setup.
6. Select checkbox for "Tether"
7. At this point, you will see Archos device in iPhone changed to "Connected", and a blue bar at the top says "Internet Tethering".
Bear in mind if iPhone or Archos goes to sleep, my experience is that the Internet connection is gone, no matter if the connection status remains. Therefore, please do not allow iPhone or Archos to go to sleep while you are using the Internet tethering connection.
Hope this works for you.

WiFi Tethering has been introduced with Froyo for most phones. Before that you needed root and some app doing it.
WiFi Tethering with my Desire works great, but I wasn't able to setup Bluetooth Tethering between them. Like there are profiles missing to establish a network connection.
Try the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack, there is a 30 day free trial and it give you PAN. I have a HTC Eris and bluetooth tethering is not possible, it crashes the phone.
I have an Espresso running CM 6.1 and WiFi Hotspot works... Will I be able to use it with the Archos 70?
HTC Magic with Cyanogenmod 6.1 and the app 'Wifi Tethering' in bluetooth mode works perfectly.
I thought wifi tethering was going to eat the battery too.
Was able to tether from ~90% to ~10% for over 6 hours continuously on an Evo running cm6.1.1 with the built-in mobile hotspot.
I posted a .apk in post #3 that has worked for all the rooded android phones i have tried.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887018
use mifi or similar product, i use a product from ZTE and work well. better don't use your android phone for wifi thetering, it will drain your phone battery much faster
use you phone to search for "google wireless tether" and download the apk this is free and works great for BT tethering between my 101 and moto droid 1.

This does not work for us with Sprint. Sprint uses CDMA not GSM. No APN on my Sprint HTC Hero. Tethering works perfectly with my Laptop and my HTC Hero using Bluetooth. NOT with Archos 70 IT.

2.0.5pre7 wireless tether.
Hello all this question has been raised Countless times!! Well I just Figured something out that has worked FOR ME!!
HOW CAN YOU TETHER IN INFRASTRUCTURE MODE in 4G? No more tethering with 3g only with android ap or 4g in AD-HOC with wifi tether for root users..
What does this mean?
You can now connect to your devices that cannot connect to the AD-HOC (PEER) signal!!
EXAMPLE TABLETS, PS3 and anything else that cannot pick up the peer to peer Signal.
Also Allows Much faster tether speeds Via 4g as compared to AD-HOC
currently us users are only able to connect to 3g via The Native Tether AP you are not able to tether via 4g IN Via Infrastructure!!
My current set up if it matters ICS ROM and Mathkids most recent kernel!! And WIFI Tether v. 3.1 beta 11
MUST FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS Exactly..
1. Assuming Your set up is similar (as i have not verified it works any other way) Install WIFI Tether v. 3.1 beta 11
2. Open up the tether program - select device profile - Chose Galaxy nexus CDMA
3.Change Setup Method - Select Netd (Master)
4. Change Device Profile - Select Samsung Epic 4g
5 - Start to tether as you would normally AND OBSERVE!! MAGIC IT NOW IS TETHERING IN INFRASTRUCTURE!!!
Hopefully Wifi tether for root users can now be updated to allow the NS4g TO TETHER!! This is important and I know the few people that understand what I am talking about will surely appreciate this!!
Thanks a lot i will definitely give this a try.

I can confirm it causes reboots but only after heavy usage, for instance I have multiple devices connected and I get a phone call while I have an app already open. I notice my battery temperature goes up to around 104 or higher when it happens. Most time its fine though.

I'm getting really slow internet this way. Normally I get about 1.5MB/sec with 4G usb tether, and now I get about 300KB/sec with wifi tether. The 4G icon shows, but I'm just not getting proper speeds. Also, speedtest showed I was getting about 60KB/sec with 4G wifi tether
Oh, and I can't get any ap passwords to work, either. The wifi app accepts them just fine, but windows says it's wrong.
This setup works perfect (FOR ME) FOR 4G in Infrastructure, as far as 3g just use android AP - Native tether - i used it for 5 and a half hours last-night plugged in not 1 reboot - make sure your set up is similar maybe the kernel or something.
IT IS DEFINITELY FASTER as i was averaging 6 Mbps down. I live in a 4g area - so this may only apply to certain individuals!!
IM USING IT AS I POST
ALSO I WAS USING HEAVY NETFLIX VIA PS3 and my computer connected downloading...
I would look into a combination of kernels - ALSO NOTE MY PHONE SETUP -
Nice! Works well with this set up connecting to my tablet in infrastructure with 4g. Battery temp isn't getting that high either.
this is working great, thank you. im currently connected to 3 devices. my pc,tv and tablet. my tv is currently streaming netflix in hd and im surfing the web and typing this message with my pc. getting 4g tether speeds between 7-10 mbs. i am running bigxie rom with latest mathkid kernal. those who are having troubles make sure you follow the instructions and not just install the apk and run it

Also i think im getting better Download performance this set up - Ive never hit 11.5 mbps and i just did..Good looking OUT!!
I finally got this working better. I had to change my rom from CM9 3.0 to aokp 25, then I changed to channel 11...now I get about 1600KB down. I tried streaming some video, but it's choppy. I don't know how some people are doing it, but it's just not smooth enough for me. So if I want to watch TV, I can switch to usb...but at least I can browse, download, etc with wifi and not have to leave my phone all the way across the living room
Thanks for the great guide!!!
oh, btw...setting the app to epic 4g touch works on NS4G, as well

Note the setup above your post seemed to actually have worked better for me. This setup obviously works best for the people who need this in 4g areas who need infrastructure..
Yeah, after I posted yesterday I saw the one above, and I'm running n1 settings now works great!
I have successfully paired my nexus 7 to my evo 3d and my HP laptop. However, it will not connect to either one. There is no connect option visible either. Both the laptop and my evo 3d connect fine to each other and other Bluetooth devices. Is my nexus 7 faulty or am I missing something?
Edit: ok it connects fine to my Bluetooth headphones, so why won't it connect to my phone or my laptop?

Not sure if this helps, but I have Verizon and it seems that they block Bluetooth tethering while on 4G LTE. I could get my phone and nexus 7 to pair, but wouldn't connect. However when I switches my phone to 3G, my tablet and phone connected no problem. Its nice BC when they are connected your tablet automatically uses your phones internet. If I just want to use 3G, I go this route. When I want to connect them while my phone is on 4G LTE, I have to use foxfi/pdanet.
In other words connecting while the phone is on 4G seems to be blocked. Switch to 3G and see if that doesn't work to connect.
Hope this helps.

I have the same issue as you. It may be that our phone don't have the right BT Profile for "Internet Access".
Are there any other options? I've tried FoxFi and that didn't create the "Internet Access" profile either. I'm on a Samsung Stratosphere with 2.3.

I have also been trying to tether my new Nexus 7 with my old Xperia X10 mini. I can pair but not connect. I can't access my Bluetooth settings on my Nexus. I can't pass files vie Bump either. I can't get the wifi tether to the phone working either: My phone doesn't allow me to download Foxfi, my phone says PDAnet doesn't work on my version of Android. I bought the Nexus in the UK but I'm using it in Germany. My phone is with O2 which typically requires an additional €20 charge to tether. Any advice would be appreciated.
I think you folks are missing a setting?
Hi
Aside from pairing, on the device whose connection is being shared (i.e the phone), you need to goto settings-->More-->Tethering And Portable Hotspot, and make sure that 'bluetooth tethering' is selected.
This works on my Galaxy Note. 4.04 ICS
No 3rd party apps are required to do this. Note that Bluetooth PAN only came to android in 3.0. If your phone runs 2.3x or below, you'll need the software discussed elsewhere in this thread to make BT tethering work.
Whatever internet connection the phone has is shared, whether wifi or 3g
NB: Its a bit flakey! OK once connected, but requires BT to be cycled off/on on both ends...

Theres a wee bug in android where after a new pair, restart, or occasionally on bluetooth disconnections bluetooth tethering will become disabled on the host device.
Go to the device with the Internet Connection and (on ICS / JB) hit Settings -> More -> Tethering & portable hotspot -> Bluetooth tething and check it.
You'll have to redo this regularly but combined with an occasional bluetooth off/on unpair / repair this will work.
(Nexus 7 / Galaxy Nexus - both rooted stock)
Hi
If you don't have the screen below (or equiv) mentioned in my previous post, then you wont be able to tether without using 3rd party apps. I guess the BT PAN profile is missing where this option is not available.

Thanks for this. All was working fine between my UK (stock European with a few Vodafone apps) Samsung Galaxy S3 (SIII) and Note 10.1 until I upgraded to 4.1.1 on my S3. It seems this option was added then or disabled by default. All working splendidly now, cheers.
Droid Razr Nexus 7 connection
All,
You can tether the 4G LTE on a nexus 7 you just have to enable bluetooth tetheriing in Setting > Tethering & Mobile Hotspot > Bluetooth tethering
Without doing this, it won't link via bluetooth tethering.As for laptop, you have to allow access point in your laptop in order to allow the Nexus 7 to fully connect to your laptop to share files.
Cheers!
This thread has the most similar problems that I have. By me the problem is opposite. I need to get internet connection on my phone (xperia U) and the only way is through tethering through my iphones hotspot. Bluetooth says paired but not connected and wifi hotspot isn't found in the list of wifi networks.
Bluetooth tethering worked fine on ICS but I downgraded to GB and now nothing. I can't install 3rd party apps yet because no internet on phone.
Is there no other option? Is it either GB, lag free phone but no tethering option or laggy ICS phone with tethering??
EDIT: As of May 25th, 2013, I have still NOT fixed this issue.
---------------------------
I have a major issue about tethering (USB and wifi) from my N4.
Here's my info that's hopefully sufficient.
Carrier: T-Mobile
Plan: 30 dollars (unlimited data [throttled at 5GB]/unlimited text/100 min)
ROM: CM 10.1 nightlies (5/1/2013 nightly)
Kernel: franco Kernel (Milestone 2)
Rooted: Yes
Unlocked: Yes
What I want: I want to tether (extremely prefer for it to be wirelessly) to my laptop/iPad with ease.
Devices I'm trying to tether:
1. Windows 7 64-bit desktop with wireless USB adapter.
2. Another Nexus 4 from my girlfriend (on Paranoid Android)
3. iPad running iOS 5, jailbroken
Attempts:
1. Tried using built-in wireless. It has a connection to connect to, but it says "limited connectivity". Cannot use internet.
1a. I've tried using Wifi Tether (https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/).
It doesn't work on "Auto" device profile.
It doesn't work with "Generic ICS/JB (wlan0 OR wlan1)". It worked with "Generic". I haven't tried the rest.
Result is that it is able to set-up the tether and have nothing failing in the "Show Log". However, my two laptops cannot detect them. My iPad sees it but cannot connect. It just says "cannot connect" and doesn't even ask me to input the password.
1b. I've used Barnacle Tether. Doesn't even work.
1c. I'm willing to try FoxFi and others I see, but I really do want Wifi Tether to work.
2. Tried using built-in USB tether. Doesn't work. It says "no connection" when done on my computer. Cannot use internet.
3. Tried using Wifi Tether. I cannot connect to it via iPad nor computer.
4. Tried using Clockwork USB tether. IT WORKS! HOWEVER, why only that method? Built-in USB doesn't work, nor do the other methods I tried. It's also annoying with the USB.
EDIT: T-Mobile finally figured out I was tethering. I was NOT using a user agent changer.
I have tried to search the general troubleshoot forum and also the franco Kernel and CM 10.1 threads about tethering issues, but it seems as if other people with my plan/kernel/ROM are getting tethering to work properly.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Tried using AOKP w/ faux kernel, still the same result.
I am thinking it is less due to the ROM, but I'm still not sure.

I have a stock Nexus 4 and have a similar issue with Wifi tethering.
Once I enable it other devices (a Galaxy Tab2 and an iPhone 3GS) can see the tether and connect to it successfully. Unfortunately, there is no transmission of data (through the browser or email client on either device).
I'm in the UK on Orange monthly tariff.
Any thoughts?

i've had exactly the same exerience as yours trying to tether a blackberry playbook to my N4. i was hoping it was the playbook!
i'm also on Orange.
i used to tether my previous android Hd2 using its wifi hotspot no problem.
Try different cable
I had the same problem and it was driving me crazy. I reloaded windows and tried all kinds of drivers. As it turns out the problem was the usb cable. After using a different cable everything started to work. I don't know if this helps but that was my experience
hi OP,
did you ever get the wifi hotspot working?

My hotspot works with PDAnet but not just using the android system.
Success! :good:
i fixed my tethering problems with Orange (EE) by simply phoning up customer support and asking them to switch on tethering. this was no problem for them. it apparently needs to be enabled at base. there is no charge for this and i was given a "1GB cap" which presumably comes off my 1GB data bundle.
i didn't have to make any changes in my phone settings.
a "service update" text came soon thereafter and following a restart the phone has since been tethering perfectly to my laptop and BB playbook.

I have a major issue about tethering (USB and wifi) from my N4.
Here's my info that's hopefully sufficient.
Carrier: T-Mobile
Plan: 30 dollars (unlimited data [throttled at 5GB]/unlimited text/100 min)
ROM: CM 10.1 nightlies
Kernel: franco Kernel (r32 as of now)
Rooted: Yes
Unlocked: Yes
Devices I'm trying to tether:
1. Windows 7 64-bit desktop with wireless USB adapter.
2. Another Nexus 4 from my girlfriend (on Paranoid Android)
3. iPad running iOS 5
Attempts:
1. Tried using built-in wireless. It has a connection to connect to, but it says "limited connectivity". Cannot use internet.
2. Tried using built-in USB tether. Doesn't work. It says "no connection" when done on my computer. Cannot use internet.
3. Tried using Barnacle (says "could not connect to NAT" and fails).
4. Tried using Wifi Tether. I cannot connect to it via iPad nor computer.
5. Tried using Clockwork USB tether. IT WORKS! HOWEVER, why only that method? Built-in USB doesn't work, nor do the other methods I tried.
I have tried to search the general troubleshoot forum and also the franco Kernel and CM 10.1 threads about tethering issues, but it seems as if other people with my plan/kernel/ROM are getting tethering to work properly.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

I'm on stock android 4.2 and my native tether works fine. Maybe it is a cm issue

Using stock here and works fine. You are turning WiFi off, right?
I succesfully connected my Nexus 4 to my PC using USB tethering by installing the "Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device" driver manually:
open the Device Manager
select "Nexus 4" and choose "Update Driver Software..."
choose "Browse my computer for driver software"
choose "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
select "Microsoft Corporation" in the left column
choose "Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device" in the right column
I still haven't found a solution and I've searched the N4 forums thoroughly. I've tried the VPN + Wifi Tether tweaked app. No luck.

That seems do-able, but really quite annoying. I have already found a USB tethering method that works but I will try this out when I have time.
Thanks. I'm still looking for a wireless method though.
It was dirt easy to tether on Virgin Mobile... Then again it was a different phone/ROM/plan.
For me what fixed the problem (partially) is enabling USB Debugging. That way I can tether via usb. Using the phone as a hotspot is still a no go. My Windows 8 laptop connects to the network however there's no internet access.
never had any issues tethering wirelessly or wired with tmobile, 5 years going strong(started with the g1). what kind of security settings are you using with the wireless tether built into the n4? im currently using wpa psk for security in the tether settings.
the problem is franco kernel. I had the same issue and basically flashed every other kernel and tethering started working.
EDIT: I flashed back to stock kernel and back. now franco kernel works.

I too had this exact problem. The 'stable' version 'Milestone 3' of the franco kernel would not connect correctly for USB tethering. My Windows 7 box would see the connection, but there was no internet. Flashing back to stock and faux kernels worked, and also the lasted nightly #163 franco kernel works (for me).
Hopefully this info helps someone else.

Stock Android does not support WiFi direct. It uses bluetooth to transfer. I would try the Superbeam app (You have to install it on both phones). Are your other phones working on the 5GHz WiFi band? If so, what channel is your router broadcasting at? Some people have issues with the Nexus 4 not connecting to bands 12 and 13 (if my memory is correct), but not all (My 211k Nexus is fine). Are you running stock? If not, what ROM and kernel are you running? Have you tried to disable WiFi optimization (Settings>WiFi>Menu button>Advanced>WiFi Optimization)?

I recently moved to another location and found out Nexus having hard time to connect to Google through Wifi(grey wifi bar appears often). Surfing internet is also dramatically slower than before. I do not know if it is Google I/O related issue (namely software issue) or router (namely hardware issue)?
All my PCs and another Samsung Android phone work fine with the new router. What's happening?
