I have a Note 3 running Kitkat 4.4.4 and a Nook Color running CyanogenMod 11-20140126-N2Aos-release-encore.
I'm trying to tether the Nook to share internet connection. Sharing is turned on on the phone, they are paired, and everything looks as it should, but no connection. What am I missing?

I have rooted a NC with CM7 build 87. Very happy to learn that there is some Bluetooth functionality. Question - If wifi is not available (banned in dorms), can my son somehow use his Droid Incredible and share the 3G internet access with the Nook Color? Alternative would be somehow linking NC with a hardwire e-net, which sounds even harder to me. Otherwise his NC (grad gift) won't have any internet access in any of the dorms at college this fall.
Thanks!

This thread is about bluetooth PAN tethering, though from what I hear, bluetooth on the Nook might not be ready for primetime. If battery isn't a huge concern, get Wireless Tether for the Droid and then just connect the Nook to the wifi from the Droid. You might need to jump through some hoops to get the Nook to connect to adhoc networks. I was having trouble until I loaded Phiremod, and it just works like a champ.
Yes your son will be able to tether the nook wirelessly to the droid and share the 3G connection.
I just took the plunge in to sd android on my TMOUSA HTC HD2.
I am using AmeriCanAndroid all stock HD2.
Previously I was able to tether to a vista laptop with wm6.5 fine. I am trying to use the wifi tether on the the android side now.
My goal is to tether to a unrooted Acer A500 Iconia. I am not sure if it is possible. I have read a ton and can't seem to find a clear answer to this problem. Several people talk about rooting the A500 so it can see a ad-hoc wifi tether. Unless I misunderstood I also read that a rooted android phone could be a real wifi hotspot not just an ad-hoc connection. I am not sure if I am mistaken or not. If someone could clear this up it would be great.
I am not sure if I am doing the tethering correctly on android. I setup the tethering with a SSID, encryption and the like. the A500 sees the wifi SSID but can't seem to obtain a IP address.
The odd thing is that when I start the wifi tether the yellow wifi icon starts in the top right corner of the phone. Then another wifi looking icon starts next to it. it says tethering and wifi hot spot. I have tried using it also but the system locks and reboots. if I don't mess with the second tethering and wife hotspot it doesn't reboot, but i still can't connect.
The strange thing is that the main tethering lets me setup SSID and the like but the tethering and wife hotspot will let me setup a different SSID. I am not sure why they aren't connected.
I thought this all had to do with the unrooted A500 but I tried the same windows laptop that I had tethered to with wm6.5 and it can see the wifi on the phone but can't connect.
Thanks for any ideas.
Greetings,
I have a rooted Htc Thunderbolt running Cyanogen.
I also have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 that I cannot connect to the wireless tether program or Barnacle wifi.
It sees the SSID from wireless tether but is stuck "obtaining IP address."
In Barnacle it doesn't even see the network created.
My Ipad connects to the wifi tether feature of either program without significant trouble.
Any thoughts on how to remedy this problem?
Thanks in advance.
I finally got it working on my rooted Thunderbolt (running latest HTC GB release).
Download the latest wifi tether at (code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list).
I changed two settings: Setup-Method:"Softap (master)" and check "Routing Fix."
After that, I was able to connect my non-rooted Tab 10.1 to my Thunderbolt.
Greetings! I'm having trouble getting Bluetooth tethering to work with my E4GT and would like some help from others on doing a bit of testing to confirm where the issue lies.
My setup....
NEXUS 10:
CM10.1 RC5
KTmanta kernel (latest)
Epic 4G Touch:
CM10.1 (dastin's wild for the night) 20130611
No kernel changes
Behavior:
Bluetooth connects properly and tethering shows as "connected" on both devices (nexus10 "use for Internet" succeeds)
Nexus 10 thinks it has no Internet connection. Chrome complains that Wifi and Mobile Data are disconnected. Play Store says "no connection"
I would appreciate if others could post their Bluetooth tethering results along with their hardware and firmware specs. AOSP only, please.
fwiw wifi tethering works fine.
Hello,
To start off, I have a USCellular S4 w/ CM10.1, currently the 7/9 nightly. I am running baseband version R970VXUAMDL and have not modified the kernel.
I have been having issues with wifi tethering both on full stock and with CM10.1. In both scenarios, I'll be able to speed test very highly from my phone (22MBit down and 5-10MBit up with low ping) but devices connected to the wifi hotspot constantly drop packets.
Usually I can connect my tablet to the hotspot and then it'll have about a 50% packet loss for a while and eventually drop to a limited connection and every packet form a ping will either time out or return 'destination host unreachable'. I've tried using the CM10.1 framework tether and the Wifi Router app on CM10.1 and stock. They've both had the same issue.
While connected, my tablet will report excellent wifi signal strength.
Any suggestions? Where should I start looking to get this resolved?
As an update. USB tether is working quite well. This is purely a WiFi tether issue.
