Has anyone managed to get bluetooth tether to a mobile phone working?
I know my phone is set up properly because from my laptop I can tether to it over bluetooth.
When I try it from my HD+, the phone reports that a client is connected - but the HD+ says "no internet connection".

I'm on a Galaxy s3 and I can't seem to get to to connect for blue tooth tethering without connecting to the wife tether first. If you can tell me how to circumvent the wife connection, I'd be glad to check. What type of phone do you have?

I am not sure that I understand your message.
Based on what you described, I tried first using wifi tether from the tablet to the phone (worked perfectly) and then tried switching to bluetooth tether. But the result is the same - bluetooth tether is connected but the Nook HD+ says "no internet connection".
For reference, my phone is a ZTE Skate running "Paranoid Android" which is based on Cyanogenmod 9.

Hi, I'm trying to use wired tether on my tbolt but in my computer in getting the error limited or no connectivity any ideas why?
Me too. How do we tbolt users get wired tether to work?
What version you guys trying? I am using 2.0.7 and it works great.
I'm using 1.4 from this page: http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/downloads/list
my bad wired.
Been having this issue all day. Downloaded another tethering app and its working great. In fact, pages lot faster.

I tried this and it fails to "Identify" in windows.
I can't seem to get this to work either, I would rather use this than the Internet Connection Mode
Anyone make any progress on this issue yet?
I'm having a similar issue. When I use Wired Tether, some of my applications cannot connect to the internet. My web browsing and e-mail works fine. When I connect via Wireless Tether, everything seems to work correctly. One particular application I'm struggling with is Tradestation. It logs me in fine, but cannot retrieve any market data it just says "loading" forever. However, when I connect to Wireless Tether, it loads instantly. Any ideas? I'm using this with Windows 7 x64 Professional. It installed the NDIS drivers included with the OS by default.
EDIT: I tried connecting with a USB760, and it works fine via dial-up and NDIS settings. No issues. I've also used a UML290 before and had no issues. Seems to be isolated to Wired Tether. Also, I had the same issue with the HTC Incredible.
I have a rooted cappy with firefly and I can wifi tether just fine with my Asus transformer. However, I have tried multiple version of wifi tether app for bluetooth and no success? Another way to connect via bluetooth, or even usb tether the two :O
My phone can pair and connect just fine with my win7 pc. My phone/Transformer can only pair, not connect.
any suggestions?
I'm unable to tether my transformer to my samsung continuum but I can tether my ipod touch just fine.
what are you using as app?
i've tried wifi tether, open garden. no luck.
I just got an N7 and really want this to work, the main reason I got it was for navi.
I have a rooted Droid 4 phone on Verizon, when I try to enable the bluetooth via FoxFi it says 'fail to open Bluetooth'. I click 'OK' to clear the dialog box and it appears that Foxfi is hanging at 'Starting Bluetooth'. I tap the box next to it and it says 'Bluetooth DUN on'.
I start PDA Net Tablet on the N7 (also rooted) and when prompted click 'DROID4' and it says 'fail to connect, make sure foxfi Bluetooth mode is enabeled on the phone side. Install foxfi if you haven't already.'
If I don't use Foxfi or PDAnet, I can get my phone and N7 to pair, but the N7 won't tether.
Any tips?
Seems like they really mucked up the networking support in ICS. USB tethering wasn't working for me either. When I dropped into adb to look around, I saw a whole bunch of oem_xxx chains and rules in iptables that I've never seen before. I flushed them all out, then manually entered a generic Masquerade rule and finally got USB tether to work. Maybe something similar is interfering with bluetooth tethering too. I dunno, I never use bluetooth tethering...
Thats way beyond my skills. I'm gonna try BT to another device, try and see if it's the d4 or n7 acting up.
FoxFi's wireless mode works fine, and OpenGarden's Mesh bluetooth tether works fine as well.
Don't know if this would work, but I used the stock tethering under settings. I was able to connect my Nexus 7 to my Droid 4 using Bluetooth. My Droid4 is rooted and it seems to work fine.
Are you on ICS?

Yup, 4.0 and up is ICS.
I've tried every configuration of settings I can think of. BT transfers work fine, but no tethering. And I don't have anything else BT capable to try tethering with.

Here is what I did.
1. Have a rooted Droid 4.
2. Enable Bluetooth on both Nexus 7 and Droid 4.
3. Pair the devices. Forgot how to do this, but I think it is in the setting of both devices.
4. Go into settings on D4. Go to Tethering. Enable Bluetooth tethering.
5. On the Nexus 7, go into settings, click Bluetooth, and choose Droid 4. Bluetooth tethering on Droid 4 should start.
I do all that and it seems to work, I can do BT transfers, phone has internet, bt tethering is checked in phone settings, bt internet is checked in tablet, but for whatever reason the tablet doesn't have a network connection.

Did you find a solution to this as I have the same issue tethering from a HTC One to 2 different tablets. One running ICS 4.0.4 and the other on Jellybean 4.1.1. They pair up no problem and transfer files but no internet connection.
I got bluetooth tethering to work with OpenGarden. IIRC, it stopped working after an update to one of my devices. Now I just use foxfi wifi when I need to tether, Haven't tried bluetooth in a while.
I'm running the latest cm9 nightly, and I'd like to tether my touchpad to my nexus s using Bluetooth. I know I can use a WiFi hotspot, but Bluetooth tethering is way better for battery life on my phone.
I paired the devices, and the only configuration option for the connection is "Internet Connection Sharing". The devices connect just fine, the notification Bluetooth symbol is blue on both devices (indicating that they are connected), and the phone has the notification icon indicating that Bluetooth tethering is active.
The problem is, the touchpad always says it has no internet connection, and no apps have internet access.
When I end the Bluetooth connection, the Touchpad reboots.
Is it possible to do Bluetooth tethering with the touchpad, and if so, how do I do it?

I think I may have solved it. I had flashed a new kernel on my phone this morning that apparently didn't like my Bluetooth. I got in my car and the same thing happened with my head unit. It said connected, but nothing was working. I restored my nandroid and Bluetooth was working again in the car. I haven't had a chance to check the touchpad yet.

Has anyone managed to accomplish bluetooth or usb tethering on nook hd tablet? I have wifi connection on my tablet and I want to use that internet connection to pc via nook. My pc has no wireless card. I have bluetooth card in my pc. So anyone who have any idea about some apps, xposed module, modifying the kernel, flashing some zips that enables bluetooth or usb tethering please let me know. Don.'t ask me to buy wireless card for pc. Thanks.

For < $10 you can get usb wifi directly from your pc. Makes more sense imo -> http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref...words=usb+wifi+adapter&ie=UTF8&qid=1418427139
I tested easytether app and it will not see my nook hd+ with cm11 m12 whereas adb does see the device and works too. With my phone, easytether found that right away. So I would think something is disabled in the kernel, but could be wrong despite the fact that tethering is obviously missing from android settings and that means something.
Finally I've managed usb tethering via nook hd
I used PDAnet+ app on both pc and nook hd. It installed ADB drivers and with simple setup I was able to share internet connection.
