I am with stock Samsung Lollipop from Rogers. I need to use reverse bluetooth tethering so that my phone can share the internet with my laptop.
However I don't see bluetooth tethering in Tethering and Mobile hot spot.
How can I enable it?
I don't want to use wifi or USB for some reasons, I have to use bluetooth.
Thanks

Check out this application I put together. It is a simple stand alone app for true tethering over bluetooth...

You must have a rooted phone for this app to work.
What does tethering mean?
Tethering means use your phone's network connection from your PC or laptop. E.g. if you are travelling on train you can connect to internet from your laptop using your phone as 3G/EDGE modem.
Hi,
I often used to connect my laptop to my Windows Mobile via Bluetooth PAN in order that I could get internet access on the laptop whilst in a remote location. Is there anyway to do this on an Android HTC Desire, or any other kind of wireless tethering?
Sorry, just seen the Portable WiFi Hotspot feature in the Wireless and Network settings. I'm guessing I can achieve the same thing ia this method rather than bluetooth
Hi Folks,
Probably unusual what I'm trying to do, but I use my galaxy nexus as a portable wifi hotspot when out of wifi range so i have a data connection on my nexus 7. The nexus 7 usually connects no problem to the phone but it wont connect if i have a the phone paired with the tablet using bluetooth. I use the bluetooh pairing to run tablet talk when not running both on the same wifi. Disabling bluetooth allows the tablet to connect to the phone via wifi. Im on stock jellybean on both devices. The 7 is rooted. The other option is to use a bluetooth tether for internet and not bother with the wifi but that doesnt seem to work all the time either. The tablet looses internet connection when tethered via bluetooth
Anyone else have same issues?
Hi,
I got the Asus N56 router and would like to extend the wireless range of my Note 3 by having it connected via USB.
I am using the app WiFi Tether Router to generally tether, but it seems I need to enable USB Tethering in system options to have it work with the router. However, this is the official option from T-Mobile so if I enable it, it will use my tether/hotspot limit for the month.
Is there any way I can hide that for USB tethering? Or has the WiFi Tether router any option I miss for that?
Also, I do not need to set the router into AP mode for that, right?
Thanks
I own a Samsung S4 branded on Vodafone ES. I used to tether my internet connection both on my PC, via an USB cable and on the laptop via WiFi Hotspot.
A couple of weeks ago I updated to 4.4.2 and since then I'm having trouble using tethering. If I create a WiFi hotspot my laptop connects but I get limited connectivity and if I use the USB cable I get internet for about 5 minutes and then I don't have any traffic between the phone and the PC. All this while the internet on the phone works fine.
I`m sure Vodafone isn't blocking my tethering because my girlfriend has an S3, also on Vodafone, and the tethering works fine on hers.
I guess the problem came with the 4.4.2 install. I tried various programs like PDANet and a couple of others but I get the same results
