Hi All,
First of all Wirless Tethering, I have One click Rooted my epic, and installed the wifi tether app but am not able to transmit signal (other devices cannot detect my wifi transition). In other words it’s not working. Do I have to install a specific kernel for this to work? and if so where would I get it?
Secondly, CyanogenMod and Froyo. Are they available for the Epic yet?, where, if not when?
Finally, Rooting, is there any way to tell that my device is perm-rooted? I want to make sure the rooting was successful even though it should be because my phone restarted like the directions said it would.
Thanks Much, p.s. I just left apple/att for epic/sprint so I don’t know all the terminology, please explain in detail Thanks!!
No cyangen mod 6 yet, or any roms yet, however roms will be coming real soon.
As for checking root try using an app that requires root like titanium backup.
For wifi tether, what version are u using?

for the Tether im using 2.0.5-pre8 istalled via tAttachAPkInstaller. I found this in the forums and people claimed to have success with it. The tether app in the marketplace said it needed a special kernel for it to work, any idea on where to get that and how to install new kernels?
To check root just type "su" in terminal and you should get "#" prompt.

Ur using the right wifi tether app, I use the same and it works fine for me. Idk why its not working for u.

Wifitether is probably working, it only broadcasts AD_HOC mode, which a lot of devices won't pick up. Make sure your Wifi drivers are updated and you are using a computer (not a p2p or DS).
I checked the root by installing titanium backup and it wen smoothly, but this damn tether app is driving me craZY! i have uninstalled and reinstalled the whole proccess and nothing works.... when i first start the tether app the download goes from 0 to .4 kb and the upload goes from 0 to .1 and then bot go back to 0 and thats it...... no other phones or computers have been able to see my signal... anything in the settings might be messing me up?? maybe diff chann?? im currently broadcasting on Chan 11.... even when i use bluetooth to connect it said paired but not connected....WHAT IN THE HELL BOBBY !!!!! i needs some helps
I had the same problem with wifi tether until I updated the wifi drivers on my PC. In my case I could see the network "androidtether" but attempting to connect caused the NIC to timeout requiring a disable/enable to get going again.
Still waiting for someone to get wifi tether working in access point mode. That's one thing I'm really going to miss from my Evo when I switch tonight.
I know its not wifi, but the pdanet tether application has been working great for me on the Epic. Its in the marketplace and can be installed without root. It does USB/Bluetooth, but not wifi.
OK i tried the PDAnet app but i cant seem to pair a friends iphone 4 with my device... i turn on blue tooth then pair then turn on the app and try to connect/repair but it keeps saying "paired but not connected" any settings i have to mess with on this app or the iphone 4 to make this work?
Thanks much for the helps.

I don't think the iPhone's bluetooth supports bluetooth DUN profile, that's why it didn't connect. iPhone's wifi supports ad-hoc wifi though.
Does anyone have wifi tether working on windows 7x64? I have tried that and barnacle and my comp can see them both but times out while trying to connect. Sits there for several minutes and says it can't connect.

I had an problem connecting once, but realized that when i was doing some work with vpn's and ports i decided to disable adhoc on my personal wireless card.
To see if it may be disabled on your machine click on start menu, right click computer and go to manage, then click device manager, under network adapters find your wireless adapter and right click and go to properties. Now go to the advanced tab to see if there is anything in there that says adhoc and if it is possible to enable it....
Like I said, I managed to disable mine and all it took was a re-enable to get it back working correctly.
Good luck either way.
Mine works fine too...make sure you are running the latest version of Android Wifi Tether (pre9 - pre13 generally work)..also try running the Internet browser on the phone after you connect.
Also if you are not on Froyo there is the Mobile AP option for Infer-structure tethering.
Working here too. I'm using the SyndicateROM 1.02. It comes with wifi tethering pre11.
The steps I took:
1) Renamed my wifi SSID
2) Added a security key, 13 characters exactly
3) In Win7x64, I manually added the wifi and for the security key, I chose WEP and entered the key.
I could be on 3G or 4G and wifi tethering works without a hitch.

Does your laptop have an Intel card? I am unable to connect with my Intel 6200-based WiFi adapter on my Sony Z. It worked ONCE a while back, but updates seem to have messed this up rather permanently. Other machines that aren't based on Intel seem to work quite peachily.
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.

Clicking on the other device in bluetooth settings usually gets it to connect for me. If I walk away from my tablet with my phone I have to redo the process.

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??
I finally got a Bluetooth PAN app to work. I have a rooted Motoactv and have been searching for a way to connect the watch without the battery dain of having the wifi radio running for extended period of time. With bluetooth tethering, I can run it all day and have my watch connected whenever I want to do sonething requiring internet access.
The apps name is Bluetooth PAN Client by SilentLexx, just do a search in tbe Android Market. It requires superuser permission so make sure you have "accept" automatically selected in your superuser settings, so you dont get the prompt without the pop up window to accept it.
Works great!
Not sure how much of a difference it would make since my actv has good battery life. I would still try it. Thanks for the info
What kind of battery life you talking about
Well, when wifi is connected, I get 4hrs. With Bluetooth PAN, triple that.
Note that this method has all kinds of issues with apps that check connectivity using the normal java system calls, which are basically buggy (they only report connectivity for wifi or mobile network, not for PAN or VPNs). Unfortunately this is a large number of apps, including google's own. Therefore when using PAN, most email won't sync, apps won't update etc etc.
Oh wow, thanks for that info. I was wondering why I couldn't get Google Voice to work like usual.
I just use it to do quick on demand web surfing/Google searches, eBay, Craigslist, Slacker radio, weather, and email. I just manually refresh my email accounts as I see the need.
Navigation works great with BT PAN and since it has a huge power savings, I use it all the time for turn-by-turn nav.
Hi I've been using the Motoactv for a couple weeks and have gotten it rooted. I am really interested in tethering through bluetooth. I read about you downloading Bluetooth Pan and getting it to work. I tried this today but I have not gotten it to work. Can you give a detailed description of what you did? I tried downloading Bluetooth Pan on both phone (Samsung S3) and Motoactv but I wasn't able to get it to work. Thank you in advance!
To date, I dont think your S3 has bluetooth tethering until it updates to 4.3 which should be very soon, matter of days. You only need the app. on the Actv, launch it and select your phone as the device and select connect. Let me know what errors your getting we can troubleshoot.

I am able to BT tether my motoACTV to my VZW S3 running a 4.1.2 ROM. 4.3 is not a requirement.
The main issue I had was that I could not access the "Tap to connect" button in the Bluetooth PAN for root app on my motoACTV in order to initiate the connection with my phone as the stock dpi (120) would not show the button. I am using the Xposed framework and App Settings apk for Gingerbread to allow per-app DPI and had to set the DPI of the BT PAN for root app to 90dpi in order to access the "Tap to Connect" button on the actv.
On the S3, be sure that bluetooth tethering is enabled by going into Settings -> More Settings (Wireless and Networks) -> Tethering -> Bluetooth Tethering.
Hope this helps.
Thats a simple fix. Go into the PAN app. setting and select the Auto Switch and Auto Connect by checking the boxes. Should work fine.

That's interesting, I think the problem is that my phone is AT&T S3 and in the stock 4.1.2 there's no option for "bluetooth tethering" under tethering and portable hotspot menu. I'm guessing like OP said maybe have to wait for 4.3.
I also had a hard time with the "Tap to connect" button too because I can't see. Eventually when I am able to get it to bluetooth tether I will revisit the Xposed framework.
Thanks for your help!!

You can leave it running as it doen't run your battery down or inhibit you from connecting other BT items to the Actv. Or just turn off your BT tethering from your phone.

No problem. Alternatively, you can try an app for your phone like FoxFi or an older Wifi Tethering by TrevE apk (supports BT tether). Just throwing out options while waiting for the official update.

The issue I've had with BT tether is that certain apps don't recognize it as a valid connection (has been discussed before). For example, with the market, I can browse apps but when it comes time to actually download or update an app, the process will hang when tethering. Need to switch to wifi to do it which requires disabling BT tether first (or there are conflicts). I suppose I could do it from the phone but I like controlling it for the ACTV.
Good to know the options are there though. Thanks.

I have an AT&T S4 with 4.3. Still no bt tether. I can't even get foxfi to work. It starts and enables the bt tether, but no devices can use it. Does it need root maybe?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
No, make sure that you have connected it to the Motoactv sync at least once, so the Actv. has your devise in the BT registry. Once listed on the BT Pan app. you should be able to initiate the connection via the Actv.
I'm curious, what apps are people successfully using with BT PAN, and with which ROM (dprom or ClearD)? I can connect to my Droid 4 using SilentLexx's Bluetooth PAN for Root Users, but nothing seems to work including Boat Browser, which I thought others had reported as working.
Using CleatD and SilentLexx: Boat Browser, Navigation, Google Maps, News Republic, News and Weather widget.

If you can install xposed framework, GravityBox has a `network spoofer' that tricks the system into thinking wifi is active instead of BT PAN. I tried it on my Galaxy Gear, have not made the time to do so on my Moto. The thread that talks aboot it is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48324006
If that method isn't viable, then perhaps there is another spoofer on the market to achieve the same goal....

Did you happen to try FoxFi to see if it would work? Also I think there is a direct WiFi way to connect with FoxFi that's new. You might try that. Let us know. I'm holding off until I know I can use the hotspot. I'm not sure if you can upgrade to Oreo unlocked version and get around Verizon's hotspot limitation.
Pdanet+ has wifi direct and it does work! I can confirm wifi direct works on mac.
Yea I updated also not thinking ab it and now I'm screwed.
Use pdanet+ and use wifi direct, it works fine, just have to change settings that's all. Hopefully something will come up coz I don't see any other android update coming anytime soon to note 8.
Another +1 for pdanet+ and wifi direct. requires the windows app but works like a charm - happy to have it back.
I tried bt I don't see how it works I guess. U have to have pdanet installed on wutever ur trying to connect to smart TV laptop etc. Maybe if I could sideload the apk on my smart TV bt other than that looks like it's only for computers and tablets

What is the SIM popping trick because, I am trying to avoid using Odin to revert back to Nougat OS?
Start with wifi off. Eject your SIM card (you don’t have to pull the tray all the way out). This should take you to your lock screen. Unlock your phone. Go to settings > Connections > Mobile Hotspot & Tethering.
Here’s the tricky part... You have to pop the SIM back in and click the hotspot button quickly. You might get a message that pops up telling you “insert a SIM to turn on tethering” or something. If you get that, click “OK” to make it go away and click the hotspot button again.
Last thing, have a device ready to connect to your hotspot because it will time out and automatically turn the hotspot off.

If you use pdanet+ and wifi direct, do you need to check the box that says "Hide Tether Usage"? I assume that let's you tether without VZW knowing it's tethered data and thinking it's just normal cell data usage? Does it actually work? Would be useful when I'm nearing close to my 15 GB tethering limit.

I have been using Foxfi. 1st, I enable my native hotspot then turn it on in Foxfi and configure the password and name to the same as the phone and set the proxy. Next go to pdanet+ and tick hide tethering. Then I update the apn settings and add dun to the configuration. I have the SM-N950U cre1 baseband on metro pcs. Unlimited plan with a cycle from the 8th-7th. According to the my metro app I've used 3.4G of data and 165mb out of 10G hotspot since the 8th. The phone says I've use 5G of data but doesn't tell me the usage on mobile hotspot. I can say I usually have 2-3 devices and a laptop using the hotspot.
