Has anyone managed to get this working on their note?
I want to use my notes internet connection to tether to my galaxy tab using bluetooth.
first, on the tab i put it in airplane mode and then turn on the bluetooth and pair up the devices.
on the note there is then an option for bluetooth tethering, which ive selected, and it is set to share the phones internet connection. the tab is then set to use this connection, however, i have no internet throughput.
any suggestions?
I can't help with your issue, beyond suggesting turning off airplane mode, but I can confirm that I bluetooth tether my Note to both my Transformer Prime and my MacBook Air, all the time.

Dave

Thanks, i did get a little bit further, but still no cigar... i took the tab out of airplane mode, but disabled wifi, and this actually resulted in a confirmation message on the note that it was connected to one device and sharing the internet connection. The little bluetooth symbol on both devices then goes from grey to blue, however, the tab still cant get any internet data.
my note is running paranoidandroid v. 02, and tab is on cm9
Well, I'm running rooted stock on my Transformer Prime, and Criskelo's V5 with Franco R6 kernel on the Note.
I'd suggest trying a Touchwiz based ICS ROM on the Note, to see if it is Paranoid related.

Hello everybody..I have weirdest question, weirdest because it seems nobody asked it before, which means I'm blind or dumb or both not to know. I just gave away new Archos 70 after ten days, not being happy with speed and such and exchange it for Galaxy Tab. So my only experience with Android comes from those 10 day with Archos, still it seems so intuitive. How do I get the Tab online?
I mean, I have one of those without 3G module and public wifi sux so it's obvious to have your tablet/PDA connected to your mobile phone over bluetooth, isn't it? Where is this tethering option which I used on Archos?
Nothing, really? Do you all have a 3G module equiped model..? Maybe I should exchange it one more time.:-/
Not sure why ppl get the wifi version, when it is so much fun to use the SGT as a phone and tab.
The only option you have with current tab is to run with wifi thru AP's or hotspots.
I would exchange for the 3G version if you have the banana's
Thanks, StarLog. Well, honestly, wifi version is way cheaper here, but that's not the only reason. I definitely do not plan to use it as a phone, I have my phone already and this is tablet. I am not going to carry it with me on every step as I do with my phone. Also, I already have data plan with my provider, why should I buy a second one especially when providers here do not mind at all? And bluetooth data connection is very common thing, I just can't believe it is not available with Galaxy.
Why bluetooth and not wifi ? Tethering is working fine. All you have to do is activate the mobile hotspot on your phone then connect the tab to it. I tried with a gsm gtab and a htc hd2 with android.

Actually, I don't use my tab as a phone, bt I do want the always on experience, opting me to go after the 3G one. For the hotspot, you can root your tab, and then grab the wifi tether app.

Doesn't your Tab have the standard WiFi Hotspot?

I just got a Tmobile galaxy tab refurb, and when ever the tab is in sleep mode for over an hour and I turn it on the tab won't connect to my router. I wold have to turn off my wifi and then turn it back on for it to connect. Any works around this?
Go ti settings and tell ur tab to never turn off wifi wile sleeping

Are you having reconnection issues with other WiFi devices on your network? Because this is usually a Wifi/router problem. I don't think it has anything to do with your galaxy tab.

I have the same problem and extremely unstable wifi performance and it looses connection even with very good reception. I havea netgear 3300 router with both 2.4 and 5 kHz networks and the only device that works badly is the tab. I have 20+ other devices with no problems at all of which 4 are other android devices.
I live in an area with 15-20 other wifi networks and perhaps it would help to disable all other networks but the settings for wifi is very basic and not many options exist. I have a DBT device with stock JMG FW.
JMG/JMF problem. I had none of this issue while my firmware was JK5. Now it sucks and still waiting for Gingerbread to come to Kies.
SAME PROBLEM WE HOPE IN GINGERBREAD
Hello ive had my note for 3 days now im on criskelo v11.
Wifi at home connects and when i go iut it switches to 3G automatically.
However when im back home my GM does not reconnect to wifi automatically (ofc i leave wifi on all the time). Is this a bug somewhere or is this feature simply not available on android devices? I just switched from iphone to android
thanks all.
By the way i have an app called Wifi manager maybe this is interfering?
It should connect automaticlau mine does i was usinh criskelo till yesterday
Do not use any kind of managers.. Use native features.. And update your router firmware

msedek is correct. Use the stock setting built into the rom. Your wifi will kick on shortly after getting within the range of your router.
Hi all. i have a problem with my note. on some instances if i try downloading large files(for games or navigon maps, or just browsing on some sites, etc) after 10 15 seconds the wifi adapter shuts down/resets and the connection is lost. the adapter restarts and connects to the wifi in 2 3 seconds but is very frustrating to try downloading something many times before succeeding. anyone else has this problem? i searched the forum but didnt find anyone else with this problem. any ideas as to what is causing this problem?

Re: note wifi disconnecting
Hmm. Try changing the router wifi settings to transmit only b/g and retest.
Had the same issue, please tell us what version and kernel rom you are using?
->I had only when using CM, on stock GB and the XXLSC roms, I did not encounter this problem (also with cm 10.1 I seem to have a stable connection again)
**I do want to note, that it can't be possible to have a worse connection when on CM vs TW, but I have experienced it this way. So I can onlyh draw my conclusions from that...(I don't have any developer knowledge whatsoever)
Re: note wifi disconnecting
I would start by un plugging the router and plug it back in.

Try this:
Dial *#0011#*
Press the menu button on service mode screen
Select wifi
Turn "wifi power save mode" off
It seems like this is only working on samsung roms. I'm on CM10.1 and I have to dial *#*#0011#*#* to access the service mode.
Also there is no wifi entry in the menu.
Re: note wifi disconnecting
just downloaded a 700 +mb file with no problem. i set the router to b and g only. seems it was the frickin router. tx a lot to all 4 ur support.

CHanging to b/g works
Hi,
I have router DIR 855 and had the same issue with my note. Wifi kept disconnecting whereas all the other devices at home stay connected. So it was clear that Note was the one that had the issue. Changing the 2,4ghz to b/g setting helped but I would like a stable connection on my 5 ghz band and that one keeps disconnecting. Any idea how to fix that? I am using NAS and the speed is much better when using 5ghz instead of the old crappy 2,4ghz.

For me too 5GHz is not stable on note... Why not use the router on Auto and then use the settings on NAS to use only 5GHz
Please explain

Hi,
Can you please elaborate on how to do that?
My router has two different bands and it cannot switch between the two. What do you mean by NAS setting?
Depends if your router can run simultaneous dual band.
Once in awhile my tab s2 keeps dropping the WiFi connection. I did a quick search and noticed samsung has a history of wifi problems pro, S, 3 4 .
No bluetooth, just wifi
Is this a common thing?
My other connection that use 5Ghz AC work fine. 2x Nexus 6P 5Ghz AC, Nexus 5 5Ghz N, Laptop 5Ghz AC, a bunch of 2.4Ghz G'so
Samsung Galaxy 9.7 tab S2 - Stock 5.1.1
I experience same sort of issue, even with strong signals. And sometimes it doesn't even wanna connect to any but restart fixes it most or time.
Same issue for me
Same. 2.4 no issue.
No probs here. I have 5Ghz and 2.4 at home and both connect fine. Maybe it is a combination of Samsung with certain types of routers/ access points?

I was able to fix mine. There is a setting in WiFi MORE to Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep
i am having the same issue, it's only the 5Ghz that keeps dropping at irregular intervals.
Wifi is always on and i have tried a different router.
Any suggestions are very welcome!
Same issue prior to upgrading to APJ1.
