Hi all,
I'm currently having some trouble getting my iPhone 3GS and Nexus 7 to play nice with sharing the internet connection from the 3GS to the N7.
The devices seem to pair up ok, and the 3GS is showing that the Personal Hotspot is being shared with 1 Connection, but there isn't any internet activity going through to the N7.
I thought it might have been related to the bluetooth issues in 4.2, but 4.2.2 hasn't made a difference. I've tried any number of tutorials/forums saying to connect things in a particular order or force stopping a service and clearing the cache, but nothing seems to work.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Nexus 7 Settings:
Stock 4.2.2 Unrooted
Connected to device for internet access - checked
Wifi Off
Bluetooth On
iPhone Settings:
iOS 6.1 Not JB
Personal Hotspot turned on
Wifi Off
Bluetooth On
Cheers.
I know what the problem is.
Your using an iPhone.

Are you sure that you can tether from 3gs to n7 with bluetooth. I think it only works with iphone and ipad. So jb your phone and download mywi to tether.

Have given the JB and MyWi route a go. Same story unfortunately.
The N7 and 3GS pair fine and MyWi reports that there is one client connected, but then there's no throughput to the N7 :crying:
Dropped mywi, now using either pdanet or tetherme .
They are both a lot cheaper than mywi and work perfectly, especially setting pdanet to wifitether then as soon as your nexus leaves your main home WiFi it instantly switches to the I phones tether via WiFi not Bluetooth.
Must admit though my 3g usage is getting hammered, luckily I have lots

Trying to tether via Bluetooth, with a DROID RAZR Maxx and the Nexus 7. I have root access on the Maxx, I don't think I'll need it on the Nexus but will if need be. The only successful thing I found that works part of the time is PDAnet+ and the receiving version on my tablet. I don't know if I trust that set up enough to pay to use it though. Free options? I've tried Wireless Tether for root users but haven't found Bluetooth tether access for tablets.

Hey guys. I use my galaxy note as a hotspot for my nexus 7. But after about 10 minutes it disconnect from my note, anyone know why this happens?

What app are you using on the note to tether?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Just going into setting and turning it on then finding it on my nexus 7 then connecting.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Sure it's not a problem with the Note and not with the Nexus 7? If it's a problem with the Nexus 7 you'd notice it dropping on your home WiFi too.
Yeah true that didn't think of that. Don't know where to start on my note either.

My razr was doing this. I used tasker to make a task that enables tethering and disable wifi sleep policy which worked.
Couldn't find wifi sleep settings anywhere else in settings.

Try tethering with Bluetooth instead of through WiFi? Not a fix, but it's a simple workaround.
I stopped using my Xperia S as a WiFi hotspot and just tether with Bluetooth. It's quicker (for me), I'm not broadcasting an SSID, and I don't have to worry about Chrome's preloading sucking up all my data because it's set to WiFi Only.

How do I get internet via Bluetooth ?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
On my Xperia S it's Settings > Wireless & Networks > More... > Tethering & portable hotspot.
Pair the two devices, enable Bluetooth tethering under "Tethering & portable hotspot", then connect from the Nexus 7 to the Note. You'll know you've done it right if the network in the Notifications on the Nexus 7 says "Bluetooth Tethered".
So when out of WiFi area I've previously just tethered my old tablet to my phone and used the phones data connection via the dial up networking profile. I can't for the life of me figure how to do this on the N10. Any ideas?

I can't answer your question, but why not just use the wifi hotspot?
Unless of course you are using a phone that does not have that feature ...

Fair question. Two reasons really, 1) some Telco providers and/or devices don't support it, and 2) it usually doesn't work internationally whereas tethering using DUN does.

Hi everyone, I'm looking for an app or a way that I can use my vzw galaxy Nexus to tether my nexus 10. I've used my gnex to tether a Xoom and other phones but can't get it to work with the 10. Btw, both are rooted.
Any one have any suggestions?
Have you tried wifi tether? What are you using to tether atm thats not working on N10?

I use both wifi tether and foxi fi neither one are working. They work with my lap top and foxifi used to work with the xoom.
Two thoughts
1. Make sure you Nexus in not set to 5gh WiFi only and see if that helps.
2. Isn't Verizon tethering now free? I don't use Verizon so I am not 100 percent sure. If I am right check and see if it works with their app.
Good luck.

I switched it to 2.4 and now it works fine
USB teher- doesn't function at all. No data ever transferred
Wifi- connects but doesn't transfer any data like USB
Bt- works but, data is slow ~20KB/sec
This is disappointing since I got MB regularly on my g1 despite the older radio... I'm going you guys have done experience with jelly bean and tethering.

Same here. I have problems with WiFi tethering using the stock option. I didn't try apps cause, last time I tried them (other android), they killed the battery.
Not a fan of Bluetooth, I expect it to have a bandwidth limitation, which would answer your question.
But we both share the need for wifi-based help
So I'd love some help too
TIA

Now BT tether has reached 170KB/sec which seems like the max. Though I would prefer at least 1MB.

Using an un-rooted N4 on AT&T using the stock wi-fi tether setup. I get great speeds on my laptop and desktop (6-9 mbps) over wi-fi tether, but my iPad 3 and iPad mini can connect to the network but have just a trickle of data flow at best and usually no data at all. For good measure, my wife's iPhone 5 has the same behavior, just to throw a third Apple device into the mix.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to what I can try to make this work?
Thanks in advance.

I am running paranoid android and wireless tethering is working fine with my iPad. I had trouble before with a different phone and I downloaded the wireless tether app from Google, messed with the settings in the app and got it to work. I can't remember the settings though. I would try that app and in the app's settings there is a menu to choose your device, try generic jellybean and see if that works.
Edit:
This is where I always went for the tethering app... http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
Wait a minute, your not rooted. It might be time to root buddy.

I just got the N4 yesterday and have not yet tried rooting. I will definitely give it a try when I get to that point.

Its really easy and worth it. You can always return to stock if you want.

I did manage to find a solution that works without rooting and wanted to share it.
Although certainly not optimal, leaving the hotspot as OPEN with no encryption will allow the iPad to connect via WiFi tether. I still plan to look into whether rooting is beneficial for me personally, but I was happy to find this method as a viable option.

Sounds like you need to check what security settings you had on the N4, when stock I had no issues acting as a hotspot for my ipad or macbook, I had it set as wpa2 psk.

Thanks for the suggestion. Wpa2 psk, which I had been trying, still did not work for whatever reason. But I realized that I had hadn't tried wpa psk and that worked perfectly so now I have some security!

I wonder why wpa2 isn't working for you, glad something is working for you and in a hotspot situation I don't think anybody is going to bother trying to hack your connection.

I don't understand either. This is an iPad 3, iPad mini, and iPhone that all don't work with wpa2, yet so many others have no problem at all.
