I've read a heaps of posts asking similar Q's but I've not read a definitive answer.
When I try to use Bluetooth PAN from my HD2 (Dutty ROM) to the T1000 Tab (brand new un modded Telstra Version) it says the Tab does not support it. Has anyone got this working?
Thanks
Nathan
I want to share my HD2's internet connection with the TAB and have read the threads on how to root the Tab to get WiFi AdHock working, but would prefer to use Bluetooth PAN if possible.
BT is not for internet connection sharing.
What is your objection to making a wifi hotspot with either device?
I use BT to share the internet from my HD2 to a Laptop just fine and expected that the Tab would do the same.
FYI - I've rooted the Tab and got WiFi AdHock working but as expected it sucks the battery dry on my HD2 very quickly.
Thanks

Hi Guys,
I've used the Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) before on the AT&T 8525 with Schapp's WM6 ROM. I am trying to do it on my Mac using my AT&T Tilt running HTC stock ROM. It shows that the connection works, paired, and is "connected" on my TILT via Bluetooth, but when I try opening a webpage on my Mac, the browser isn't connected to the net.
Is anyone else having the same problem or can offer a fix?
By the way, running OS 10.4.10 and am on an Intel processor.
In "Systems Settings/Network" you got to arrange the different inteface in right order, with "the most wanted" highest on list. I have my bluetooth PAN above Ethernet and Airport. I'm on a MBP 2.4 and Leopard, and for me it works absolutly great!!!

Thanks so much!!! That works. I moved the BT and BT PAN up above ethernet and airport like you said and it works like a beautiful charm!
You might also want to consider sharing your internet connection via WiFi instead. It's much faster.
There is a thread floating around here somewhere with an all-in-one wifi router program that will do this without you having to perform the registry tweaks.
edit: and it works great on my mac
Is sharing the internet over WiFi a bigger battery drain than the USB ICS?
Sharing Internet over wifi = More battery drain on Pocket PC
Sharing Internet over USB = More battery drain of Laptop PC as your phone will also be charged by this time.

i know there was talk on here a while ago about sharing internet connections over USB or about getting wifi onto the touch, here is my question is it possible to share my data connection from my active hero to my touch, i know devices like the ARCHOs 5 tablets use a BT DUN to share a connection from a phone, so how hard would it be to implement?
Hey,
sorry if this has been discussed already. I searched but couldn't find an answer.
I am wondering if I can tether the Galaxy tab from my blackberry Storm. ie. share the data from the Storm with the Tab.
I know about rooting the phone and changing the setting to allow wifi tethering. It seems to me that this only applies when tethering an Android device to the Tab via wifi. This wouldn't work with my phone because it doesn't have bluetooth.
So is there a way to provide internet to the tab via bluetooth from the Storm?
I tried blutooth thethering to my rooted droid eris and never got it to work. I went wifi a few day ago and it works well.

Id like some info too. Blackberry bold 9700 here.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
hope it works. I don't want to buy a new phone, atleast not yet!
can anyone help?
I tried Bluetooth tethering with my iphone 4 and was able to pair to recognize the iphone 4 and also on the iphone the galaxy pad was recognized however if you try to connect - the iphone 4 does not connect even though the Galaxy tab says it is paired.
Not sure what is the issue here. I read in the other issues with Bluetooth keyboard that they also have issues pairing certain keyboards.
I too want to use my iphone 4 data plan on the galaxy tab for data usage.
Anyone tried this or experience same problem?
Thanks
I m using the application "bluetooth file transfer" on my htc hero and it works just fine. And no need to root.
Didn't try on my tab though
Edit: sorry didn't read your post well thought you wanted to share files..
It disheartens me to see no activity in this thread. I'm really hoping for a bluetooth tethering option for my Blackberry (company won't give us any other option). Can't BB and Android just get along?!
Can anyone explain what the issue is with the Galaxy Tab and Bluetooth tethering?
They apparently have it working fine on the Xoom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968801
Why would it work there and not with Galaxy Tabs?
Not sure why this had to be done by Google in Xoom stock rom. Archos had has this feature. At first it would not work with BB. Then a forum member discovered the issue was the compression parameter. Recently archos incorporated this fix in the newest firmware and BB are tethering fine now.
Ordered a Galaxy Tab today. I will see if I can figure this out once it's here...
I've played with this issue on Archos Tab.
If someobody wants to play with this, here's some info on how we got it to work see here:

Hi
I have no problem on my blackberry 9780. I can tether this devices internet connection via bluetooth. the app name is PdaNet. Along with this app you can tether blackberry's connection to any device via bluetooth. It was successfull with my ex tablet.
however I couldnt manage to connect my galaxy tab. the issue to solve is the tab.
if we can find to connect this table via bluetooth (for internet sharing), the problem would be solved.
anyone has a solution?
thnx
Has anyone been able to run Bluetooth PAN Tethering from Samsung Galaxy S?
I'm running Wireless Tether Root app on Bluetooth mode, but the PAN service doesn't show up on the other computer trying to tether.
Yes i have allowed the program access in superuser.
Can get Bluetooth PAN tethering working?
Bluetooth tether uses far less power than wifi so it's worth it. Even Motorolla Droid can do it, why not Galaxy S?
HI,
i know it is an old thread, but I want to as the same.
I could use USB to tether or enable the mobile AP Hotspot via WLAN.
But how do I tether over Bluetooth??
I'm resurrecting this old thread as I would also like to have this possibility as well. I know Cyanogenmod has been able to implement PAN but the question is, is it possible to get PAN support on Samsung ROMs?
Since CM7 now let me "sleep in" two times in one week now due to beeing frozen, I'd like to go back to a Samsung ROM.
Any chance to get PAN working with a Samsung ROM?
Here's the situation.
Phone: LG Rumor Touch.
Yes, it's a complete crap phone with J2ME. It however, has pretty awesome Bluetooth. Unlimited Data.
Tablet: Streak 7 ofcourse.
Can't do anything with above phone unless an app is designed for that purpose. Plenty of file transfer apps, but, alas...
I want to leech internet off my phone so I can browse the web when on the road. I'm only ever without a hotspot when I'm stuck at Rite Aid for three hours while my mom is shopping (the perks of being the only unlicensed 18 year old). It'd also help so I could use the tablet as a replacement for my sister's tomtom when we go long distance (2 inch resistive screen? I might as well use my Rumor!).
Any tips or app recommendations?
Does the rumor have wifi?
It does not. It has Bluetooth and USB, and when usb connected to my PC, I can use it as a modem, but without buying a dock for the streak, that wouldn't be a viable solution.

If your phone's rooted, install this:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
It'll let you tether over bluetooth.
So far as I know, you can't root a Java phone, but thank you.

Thought it was a MyTouch Android phone; reading comprehension fail on my part.
I don't know if the LG Rumor Touch provides Bluetooth data access via DUN (Dial Up Networking) or PAN (Personal Area Network) profiles, but there is an app on the Market Place (Nook Color Bluetooth Tether) that will enable a PAN Bluetooth profile on some Android devices. It is intended for the Nook Color, but it may work on the Streak7 also. You will need to root your Streak in order to try it out.
Streak's already rooted, I'll give that a go.
bluetooth tethering
I'm curious too.
Running stock 2.2.2 rom (rooted) on DS7 (wifi only), I tried tethering with htc vogue running winmo 6.1 and htc vogue running cm7, no go. I tried using pdanet (both on ds7 and htc vogue cm7) nook color tether, and android wifi thing. No go.
Any solutions would be awesome.
Wifi is a battery drainer. Bluetooth much better as far as battery conservation.
thanks.

I might give this a try... but
1) This tethering program seems to be over WiFi not Bluetooth?
2) What build are you all using with a good Bluetooth stack?
but on my DS7 w/Honeycomb just power cycles on off...
when I click
Bluetooth
Turn on Bluetooth
it says "Turning On..." (grayed out) & then just cycle's back like it's off.
I might have to wait for a new build of HC

The app does bluetooth and WiFi (it's in the settings). If you want a stable ROM, either stay stock or use something like this (I use it pretty much just to have the black notification bar). DJ_Steve's HC port is an amazing feat, but it's still really buggy (mainly due to it coming from devices completely different than the S7).
Has anyone found a solution to data tethering the Streak 7 to another device via bluetooth?
I've got a Blackberry that will allow tethering over bluetooth, but the Streak 7 (T-mobile 4 G with stock ROM) doesn't have the proper bluetooth stack to do DUN. And it doesn't "connect" to the BB anyhow (although it pairs, and when paired I can send contacts to the Streak from the BB just fine).
