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.

Thus far, I've been unable to use my AT&T Tilt as a wireless modem for my Vista laptop. I've partnered them in the MS Bluetooth Stack, then gone to Windows --> Internet sharing and set it to bluetooth pan and media net, then on my computer, gone to "connect to" and opened the bluetooth pan connection. Unfortunately, at this point, my phone doesn't show up as a devic for bluetooth pan. If anyone can offer up some advice, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks
I would also like to add that Bluetooth PAN also doesn't work for me in XP (SP2). It doesn't show up in the the Bluetooth Device Wizard (the one used to add devices with PAN services), but clearly broadcasting is enabled in the options.
Also, just as a side note, I can't get USB tethering to work either...I'd really appreciate any help I can get with this tethering problem. Thanks.
Got it working. I have no idea why, but for some reason when i tried repairing it for the sixth time or so, vista suddenly decided it had drivers to install for my tilt, and it went ahead and installed the modem driver. now everything seems to be working.
By Bluetooth or USB? Or did you get both working?
Why bother with Bluetooth or USB headaches?? Just use WMWiFiRouter and connect to your phone over Wifi.
Hello all,
I can't setup working BT tethering under Mac OSX (10.5). Could you help me ? N1 uses the newest cyanogen mod stable rom, and I have "Internet tethering" sets to on. Both devices are paired, but what should I do next on OSX side ? Should I install any 3rd party software such as pdanet ?
Is that tethering different than regular bluetooth connection using embedded phone modem ? I'm asking because in Network configuration in OSX Preferences I have BT interface, where I have to provide phone no., login and password.
Thanks in advance, Tomek.
Well I'm pretty new here, but from what I know there is no bluetooth tethering option. Sure you can pair with others bluetooth devices, but there is no stock internet tethering via bluetooth. Once again, afaik.
The stock Froyo tethering is very simple....it turns your N1 into a wireless base station. If you want to do usb tethering then you can use pdanet. I think pdanet also supports bluetooth tethering, but I've never tried it.
Thanks for your reply.
I wonder why Internet tethering option has description "... via USB/BT" ?
We're talking about CyanogenMod 5.0.8-N1
I'd love to know this as well.
The Cyanogenmod 5.0.8 changelog lists that he added BT tethering, available both via Bluetooth PAN, and Bluetooth DUN, using code from Stefan Tomanek aka wertarbyte. It's something called 'omni-tether.'
But I've yet to get it to work. I tried asking in the CM forum, but got no response.
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
Has anyone been able to connect to a vpn, start wifi tethering, then access the internet with other connected devices?
I connect to a vpn fine on my galaxy s3 mini, start a wifi tether, connect my laptop to the wifi network, but the laptop never connects to the Internet.
A whole lot of people have this problem, and have not been able to find a work around.
I've tried the terminal thingy where you do iptables rputing and stuff, doesn't work, or maybe it was too complicated for me to carry out properly.
Anyone with a solution?
I have a perfectly rooted galaxy s3 mini amd im sure many other devices have this vpn wifi problem.
futher info
i have galaxy s3 mini rooted
Hello,
I've got a Lumia 1020 and I'm trying to connect via Bluetooth to a windows 8.1 device. I'm able to pair the devices, but as soon as that process is complete, the connection drops. On my phone, I can tap on the name of my computer, and it will reconnect, but it lasts for literally 3 seconds, before dropping the connection again. I've tried connecting to both my Surface RT and my windows 8.1 ultrabook with the same result. The phone will connect to my car stereo just fine, and I never have to do anything with it. Is there some sort of protocol that's missing in Windows 8 to allow phones to connect via Bluetooth? My main use for this would be music streaming, and using my tablet as a handsfree device.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Dustin
There isn't really any way to do that unless you are using something other than Microsoft's generic Bluetooth driver. I'd recommend checking out Trendnet's Bluetooth dongle or something that has broadcom drivers and they are extremely feature packed. My several year old BT 2.0+EDR from them works great!

Thanks for the reply, I'll give that a shot!
Have you tried opening "View Devices and Printers" from desktop control panel? From there you should be able to right-click on your Lumia and click "Control".
I haven't used any Lumias but I'm able to stream from and to my Ativ Neo with both my Surface Pro and Lenovo Lynx running 8.1
Sorry if I'm misunderstanding your question.
