Hi!
I'm trying to share my Galaxy Ace's Internet connection with a Nexus 7 via Bluetooth. Unfortunately, the stock ROM lacks "Bluetooth tethering" option. Now, I know that I can install FoxFi on my Galaxy Ace and PDANet Tablet on my Nexus 7, but I understand from reading this forum that Nexus 7 has native support for Bluetooth PAN.
My question: is there a way to enable BT PAN in Galaxy Ace, in order to share Internet with my N7 without installing anything else in my tablet? Thanks

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
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

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
Nathan
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?
I'm trying to find a way to use my Iphone 4 data plan (3G) on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Wi-Fi Only) through the USB cable/adapter but no luck so far.
I'm currently using the ROM Task Rom 9.0 on the tablet so Ad-Hoc is enable and I've been able to tether to the Iphone through Wi-Fi, however it drains my phone's battery pretty quickly.
I do have the Samsung USB adapter but when the Iphone is connected to the GT it only allows me to copy photos. It doesn't recognize the USB tethering.
Does anyone have any tip or advise???
I guess the same procedure could be applied to any cellphone regardless of the OS.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Note that this is the ORIGINAL 7" Tab section - you might have better luck in the 10.1 Tab section.
Other than that can't help sorry
I hadn't noticed sorry.
Thanks anyway.
Hello everyone,
I am trying to stream video over bluetooth using bluetooth tethering( i know it's silly) and I am in very early stages of least getting network running over bluetooth.
The ubuntu pc is able to detect and connect to the samsung galaxy grand's bluetooth tethering facility and use internet
it uses bnep to connect.
However the same phone's bluetooth tethering is not detected by Window(both 7 and 8).
Any leads on this..
Help is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Milind.
