I am trying to connect my rooted CDMA Hero (Fresh ROM v1.0) with Win7 over bluetooth, and I just can't get it to work. The Hero will "pair" but remain "not connected" and Win7 the "HERO200" will show up as a bluetooth device but be greyed-out with nothing listed under the bluetooth Services and Hardware.
I am trying to get this setup to tether using Bluetooth PAN, but until I get this sorted out, I don;'t think I can move ahead with that (tether over WiFi works great).
Thanks,
Aaron
I have the same issue with the PS3 keyboard with a mini bluetooth dongle... Only issue I see Win7 having.
I had originally paired my Nexus 7 with my DHD such that they were paired with BT, and at any time I can connect to the DHD from the Nexus and I would have internet access on the tablet.
On the DHD, in addition to the blue BT icon, I would also have a BT tethering notification on the top left of the status bar.
This morning, all that changed – for seemingly no reason.
I could connect fine, but the BT tethering icon was not there on the DHD. The tablet would connect, but it reported that the internet connection was not available.
I tried unpairing and pairing, and rebooting both devices.
Since then, the problem has significantly worsened.
I can still see and pair both devices fine. The pairing code comes up on both devices and I am able to confirm that the codes match and the pairing appears to work. That's where my success ends. I tap on the device to connect, and it says "connecting..." for a few seconds, and then returns to the original, unconnected state. If I touch the device again to connect, it will not only flash up for a fraction of a second "connecting..." and revert back.
This happens regardless if I try to connect to the tablet from the phone, or vice versa.
I figured the BT stack must have been corrupted somehow on one of the 2 devices, so I tried pairing the tablet and phone to my dad's Galaxy Nexus and also his Nexus 7. I can pair anything to anything, but can't connect from anything to anything.
I am rooted on both my devices, but neither of his.
I tried the program "Bluetooth fix repair" from play store, which requires root access, which claims to fix some bluetooth problems. I tried it on both the tablet and phone. After a restart, I notice it has reset my bluetooth settings like the device name, etc. It didn't fix the problem. I can still pair the tablet to the phone, but can't connect.
Any ideas what may have happened and how I can fix it?
Tablet is running stock jellybean with root, and phone is running AOSPx BR3 from XDA.
I've run into the same issues! Trying to connect my GN to my N7 over BT shows that they pair, showing the same PIN, but won't connect. Previously, I could connect my GN to my Xoom but no longer.
I've flashed back to stock on both devices (I'll do so later on the Xoom) to eliminate as many variables as possible, and I'm still getting a connection. GN is now back to IMM76K and N7 is running JRO03D, only change is supersu on both. They connect perfectly fine to my laptop but will not connect to each other. I noticed that some people got good results by turning off WiFi but that didn't help me at all. I know BT worked on my GN because I could connect to 2 different BT units in 2 different cars.
Some people are going to ask why not use Wifi. Well, I have poor reception at home and I'd like to retain internet connection on both while using Tablet Talk (which I have yet to be able to use...).
I'm tethering via bluetooth as well. Its frustrating that when I walk away with my phone, the tablet will not auto-connect via bluetooth. I have to go back and connect the two.

I can confirm I'm having the same issue. Only way to repair is to do a full device wipe. Power on / off doesnt seem to correct.
Confirmed this is the case iwth my N7 and Galaxy Nexus Stock Rooted and CM9 Galaxy Note.
BTW reason people want to do this is because BT tethering has very low battery life cost particularly compared to wifi tethering which will flatten a galaxy nexus in ~3 hrs.
Love to hear if anyone else found a fix for this!

I had the same issue. I went into the more settings on my phone for Wireless & Networks/Tethering & portable hotspots. Make sure the bluetooth tethering is checked. After i did this i had no issues using my phone internet through BT. I have a T989 running CM9 RC2. My N7 is rooted running the stock rom. Hope this helps.

I can confirm I was having the exact same problem as everyone else and this fixed it for me. The only other thing I had to do was connect FROM the Nexus, not the phone (an HTC Sensation). Trying to connect from the phone was a no-go. Thanks!
I cant pair my Nexus 7 with my Sony Ericsson MW600 bluetooth headset.

I forgot to add the part about paring through the N7 instead of the phone. Sorry

So I have the Logitech Android bluetooth keyboard and a microsoft bluetooth mouse. Both of these devices work perfectly when connected alone, but when trying to connect these two devices to my Nexus 7 at the same time, the Logitech keyboard cuts out and I have to disconnect the bluetooth mouse in order to pair it again. Has anyone else had any of these issues or know of a way to solve it? There was a time in which they both worked correctly, but I am not sure if that was 4.2.1 or something earlier like 4.1.2. I have my device multibooted and the multiple devices work with bluetooth on the Ubuntu desktop version for our Nexus 7.
ROMs tried: CM10.1 (current), PA3.1, and AOKP
Kernels tried: Franco (current) and M-Kernel

I have a 16GB Nexus 7 with XenonHD 4.2.2 Rom, and I cannot pair it with my Windows 7 (x64) desktop, either with the desktop looking for it and pairing or from the N7 finding the Desktop and Pairing.
But I can pair with my Macbook running OSX Lion and send a file from the Macbook to the N7.
And I can also pair the N7 to my T-Mobile G2 (HTC Desire-Z) running ILWT CM7 to use for Bluetooth Internet Tethering.
And I can successfully pair with my iPad (it'll pair, but it doesn't support any actual functions)
But alas, I cannot pair with my Windows 7 Desktop, any advice on where to look to solve the problem?
I got it to pair by moving the BT adapter to a different USB port, but even with it paired, there are no services listed under the services tab. There's a direct connect option but it does nothing other than show it connected, and then disconnects. So there appears to be no bluetooth functionality between the N7 and windows (such as file sharing, etc).
[Q] ［HELP］ Nexus 7 3g bluetooth tethering (as a host) to another android device
Dear all
I have got two devices:
Nexus 7 3g (2012), system 4.4 KRT16S, and it is rooted and as taughted by a post in this forum, I flashed a zip file to enable WIFI and bluetooth tethering.
Another device is Nexus 5
I want to make N7 as a host or say modem to share its internet connection to N5.
I want to use bluetooth tethering because it saves battery. What I did is paired N7 and N5, and on N7 in "settings"-"Tethering and hotspot", I enabled bluetooth tethering.
But on N5, in bluetooth, I click paired Nesus 7 icon, there is no profile icon, and no use for internet access check box.
Does any one how to make it work?
I know how to use a phone as host and let N7 to access internet via phone. It works well. But I really need to make N7 as a host and use bluetooth tethering.
Thank you very much!
Please help.
Has anyone successfully did this? Thanks a lot!
I also tried with another device, after paired with nexus 7, it also cannot see bluetooth profile where we can enable internet sharing.
