Is there an app such as tasker to make it so that if I tap my galaxy S3 to a nexus 7 it'll start WiFi tether on my phone and connect the nexus 7 to it? I'm gonna get a nexus 7 for Christmas and want to figure this out before hand.

i would think that you would manually have to connect the Nexus 7 to your phone's Wi-Fi tether manually first. and at that point, the configuration is saved.
then setup a Tasker or an NFC tag to toggle your Wi-Fi tether of your phone. when it broadcasts a signal, your Nexus 7 would automatically pick it up and connect.
that is, unless your Nexus 7 is not already connected to another Wi-Fi.

Good question. I have an S2, an N7 and tasker so I'll give it a shot and see if it works.
Edit: couldn't get it to work, neither the phone or the tablet could see each other, but I'm not sure if it's just that it is not supported or there is something wrong with my setup. I tried reading an rfid card but that didn't work either.

I'm basically working with the same exact stuff... Verizon GS3 and a Nexus 7. My N7 is running Team EOS 3 Nightly build 37 (which is still 4.1.2), Timur's kernel (from Rootzwiki) which allows USB audio and forces charging while in OTG mode, and a car setup.
There's an app called AutoTether which is the closest thing I've found to getting the N7 to initiate a Wifi Tether connection on the phone. It has a widget you can place on the home screen of the N7, and when you press Enable, it sends out the command via Bluetooth to the phone. The phone receives this signal, and begins whichever wifi tether app you choose (I personally use the TrevE Wifi Tether variant).
I've played around with automating wifi tethering and Tasker, and just can't seem to get it to work properly/reliably. At one point the creator of AutoTether mentioned he would integrate it into Tasker, but he hasn't, and he didn't respond to my email when I asked that question. If it were integrated into Tasker then this would be the ultimate solution IMO.

There's an app in the market specifically designed for exactly what you're talking about - I bought it and it works exactly as described.
However, the reason I do not use it is 2-fold:
1. In order for NFC to operate, both devices must have the screen on and be unlocked (this is due to NFC security protocol) which means I have to unlock my phone, unlock my tablet, then touch them together.
2. It's wayyy faster to just unlock my phone, click on the Wifi tether setting shortcut I placed on my home screen, activate the hotspot, and my Nexus 7 connects automatically as soon as it sees the open (saved) connection.
So I found the "neatness" of the NFC magic irrelevant as it is slower and more cumbersome (can you imagine dropping one or both devices because you wanted to look cool holding them up to each other?)
**** THAT lol
To make things even more complicated there's mods we can install to make NFC work without unlocking screens haha

Did you ever get an answer to the tethering issue??? I can't tether my Xoom either. wifi works fine, But i'd rather use the BT.... Rooted 1.8.3 GB 3.1
I have successfully enabled Bluetooth tethering on my atrix 4g from my windows 7 x64 computer. Basically i did the following.
1) Install wireless tethering application 2.0.7
2) Under settings in wireless tether, navigate to Bluetooth, then make sure use Bluetooth is checked. Also check don't disable Wi-Fi. Also if you haven't paired check make discoverable.
3) click on the wireless icon to enable tethering.
4) from your computers Bluetooth software, enable Bluetooth Dun.
5) add new connection from Bluetooth software, pair with atrix, it should connect, and you will see a yellow shield pop up on the Atrix with the computers ip address, which means the connection is made. After 30 seconds or so, internet should be enabled on the windows 7 computer.
I hope this helps!

Unfortunately, this did not work for me. When I loaded the wireless tethering app it said that my kernel does not allow me access control or something along those lines. Yes, I'm rooted so I guess that's not the issue. Also, when I paired my phone with my computer, the only option it gave me was for bluetooth file transfer and not DUN. Any ideas? Oh yeah, I'm running Mac OSX but that shouldn't make a difference. (?)
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".

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.

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??
Alright,
that might be very tricky but it would be awesome! Following situation: Me sitting in a sub, galaxy nexus in my pocket and the nexus 7 in my hands. Now, I would like to activate Tethering via the tablet on my galaxy nexus and be online 5-6 seconds later. Anyone an idea?
Thanks for your input!
Found myself in the same situation yesterday in the coach on the way home from work. Had a lap full of nexus 7 and earphones whilst trying to pull out my GNex out of my pocket hoping that the driver doesn't slam on the breaks!
Have just decided to leave tethering turned on on my GNex and when I pull out my tab, just flick on the wifi so it connects. Not ideal on battery for the GNex but it works.
I use bluetooth tether on my vision.
Find it saves a lot of battery power.
I leave the 2 devices connected constantly, for tablet talk, and just leave the option to allow bluetooth tethering turned on on my vision.
So when I don't have wifi, I just tap 'connect' on my n7 and I'm good to go

I stopped using bluetooth tethering because it would autodisconnect whenever a wifi signal was around and then doesnt reconnect. As for wifi it will stay connected and maintain positive connection longer.

I leave the Bluetooth Tethering option ticked on my Galaxy Nexus and connect with my Nexus 7 (via Settings > Bluetooth > tap on Galaxy Nexus) when I need to (or just place a shortcut on your homescreen).
The problem is that Bluetooth Tethering cuts out after a few minutes (known bug) and I have to repeat. But since it cuts out, it doesn't drain the battery at all (unless I am actively using the data connection, of course).
I suggest using foxfii and PDAtablet for Bluetooth tethering. A few apps won't recognize the internet, however you don't have to worry about it cutting out. And it still uses Bluetooth so there is less battery drain than WiFi.
Just always remember while Bluetooth tethering with whichever option to turn OFF your WiFi on the tablet. If not it will keep searching for WiFi even though your BT tethered, and cause data drop.

You could probably use Tasker to kick WiFi Tethering on on your phone when it detects your tablet neaby (via bluetooth), so when you want to connect, you turn wifi and bluetooth on on the tablet.
EDIT: Of course, you can also use Tasker to turn WiFi Tether on on your phone based on your location, the absense of your work/home wifi, the time of day, and many other options or combinations of options. It's a really useful app, IMO.

I'm trying a slightly different scenario. I don't want Bluetooth tethering, I want WiFi tethering but with Bluetooth connected so I can use Tablet Talk. It almost works. For a short while it'll work that way and then the WiFi drops on my Galaxy Nexus and won't reconnect until I disconnect BT again.
I'm probably posting this in the wrong forum since I've since determined the problem is with my GNex and not my N7.
I'm curious as to how people are using BT tethering though. In my experience there are too many applications that don't work over the BT tether. Are those of you tethering over BT just using the browser? Seems far more limiting than using WiFi tether... unless of course I'm also trying to connect over BT at the same time.

So straight forward but such a revelation for me!! I always hated tethering w/ my phone cuz it sucks the battery and it gets so warm, but the BT tethering is a great alternative. Now my tablet is relevant wherever I go w/ my phone.
+1 on blue tooth.
Whenever I use wifi hotspot for any length of time, my phone will eventually time out and cut the connection. Using bt it will stay tethered for hours on end.

Is basic Bluetooth tethering simply pairing the phone and tablet and that's it (no third party apps)? I tried to do that and even though the use internet connection box was checked for both devices (they won't uncheck for some reason either), I couldn't get internet working, which is why I resorted to FoxFi/PdaNet.

The built in one doesn't work because it tags all packets with a "hotspot" data tag which is then being denied by your carrier because it's hotspot data which you didn't pay for. Either the internal program needs to be modified to not tag the data, or another app which doesn't tag data should be used to get a free wireless hotspot.

Exactly - this is true for ALL Android handsets running Android 4.3 and above.
Previously, we've been able to get away with it unless your phone was running a carrier-specific ROM with the packet tagging enabled - but now it's part of the Android subsystem.
If your carrier is setup to track this, they now can.
I'm lucky with mine - they seem to only care if I tether a laptop to my phone. If I tether a tablet or another phone, it's fine.. Different traffic I guess! So I just use a VPN on my laptop, and it goes undetected.
Here's a workaround for the uninitiated ones.... Should work on most mobile devices. You'll probably need a VPN if you want to tether a laptop.

Edit settings.db by adding a line "tether_dun_required" and set the value to "0".
Also make sure your APN settings use IPV4.
