Hey guys,
I recently rooted my gear and installed the null 14 ROM. My phone I am currently using is an S3 running stock 4.3. How do I go about tethering my internet from my phone to the gear? It seems they must have removed bluetooth tethering from the 4.3 as I only have wifi hotspot and usb tethering. Anybody else get this too or does somebody know what's wrong and how I can fix it? Thanks for any help guys

Im running stock rooted 4.3 on my gs4 with the tethering hack on verizon and i have bluetooth tethering under settings, more networks, tethering and then you check the bluetooth one. FYI bluetooth tethering is capped at about 3mpbs to is not exactly lightening fast but it does work. Make sure on your gear that you go into bluetooth settings and the click settings for the device your connected to and check use internet from device or whatever it says i forget exactly
So I have my S3 rooted now. What can I install to enable the bluetooth tether? Any info and/or links would truly help. I am not too smart when it comes to this rooting stuff. Thanks

I have installed the Wireless tethering and when I try to connect my pc using my tab, it will not get pass the gateway..it shows limited connection on my pc, however, my tab is showing like it is actually sending and receiving packets...How do I fix this issue?
Hi Fechina,
When you say you have installed wireless tethering, what exactly do you mean? The reason I ask this is because my GT-P1000T has it already built in to the firmware (Froyo 2.2). I just go to Settings -> Mobile APN and turn it on... Works like a charm every time. I can also set my WEP/WPA encryption if I choose to.

Did you set your TAB APN security to have a password, because other computers could already be connecting to your SGT, that's why you see it sending and receiving packets.
Yes, I have a password..
@andychud I am rooted but still on the stock rom..I had to install the Wireless Tether for root in order to access it...I cannot find any custom roms for the Sprint tab..

Hi Fechina,
Did you manage to get to the bottom of this yet or are you still unable to tether?
So, are you saying the the stock ROM you are using doesn't have wireless tethering built-in to it & you have installed some 3rd party tethering app? I'm sorry, but I don't fully understand the nature of your problem. If you could give more details, I'll try to help.

I see that you have stock froyo which is by default already have the ability to act as a wireless access point. Why you have to install Wireless tethering I don't understand. Anyway here is the proceedure I use if I want to connect my pc to the tab

If on the other hand you want to connect your Galaxy tab to your pc as an adhoc network then you will have to replace the wpa supplicant file with a modified one here-http://www.megaupload.com/?d=G299FMBE
Your gt is rooted so this can be done easily.
Hi Forum,
I cannot get my Sprint tab to see my phone after installing Gingerbread. My computer can see the phone and connect it, but the tab won't. Before Gingerbread, I was able to scan and connect to my phone and tether just fine. I tried diff. wifi tethering app. Currently use Barnacle. My tab is not rooted, but that should not be a problem.

which version of GB do you have installed? Is it the stock sprint update? Have you tried the WPA supplicant fix for it yet?
I using Sprint OTA Gingerbread, 2.3.4. Build number EF17. I have not tried the WPA supplicant fix. I did not have problem with this issue on Froyo. I will research on this. I would like some tips if you got them. Thank you !
I found a link on the issue, but require root. I am reluctant to take this step. It is not that I don't know how to use Odin, but removing root is a pain.
Here is the link to WPA supplicant if any interested.

from everything i've read, you won't be able to connect to ad-hoc mode wireless (most wifi tether apps) without the wpa supplicant patch. you might look into a wifi tether app that will do infrastructure mode to get that working again.
@ pvtjoker42,
Thank you for the tip. I did some further research and the Wifi Tether app works in infrastructure mode too. If any one interested, here is how you do it. Choose device profile- I chose Samsung Galaxy S. I also tested Samsung Galaxy Indulge. Under Setup-Method, choose Softap ( master). Now your Samsung Tab will see the phone. This app drains battery like no tomorrow, much more than Barnacle.
Ok I have a Note 2 running rooted 4.4.2 and when I'm connected to wifi I can't enable Bluetooth share. I've looked all over and I can't figure out how to enable this while connected to wifi.
I figured it out I just have to use pdanet while I'm on wifi with phone. If phone isn't on wifi I can use built in tether

I've posted about this in other forums and was hoping to find an Xposed module to fix this. Seems to be a restriction added to Android as of 4.3. Previous versions of Android allowed native bluetooth tether while on wifi. As of 4.3, it seems native bluetooth is no longer allowed........no idea why and was a little stunned to find that no one else really has complained about this.
ok i got a question.. on my old galaxy s2 with jellybean i was able to use the wifi tether root for my wife's android to tether to.and now with my htc wit kitkat, only my laptop picks up the network. her fone dosent even show the hotspot.is there certain settings i need to change on my tether app or does HTC just have some kind of tether guard?

I am not great guru on these phones (or any for that matter). I have similar situation. Had an Evo4G that would wifi tether after root. This phone (Desire 510) seems to have additional guards. After installing the 3.0.3 of the wifi-tether apk there is a message that appears in the log indicating the phone takes control of the wireless ethernet interface after tethering has started. This kills the wifi tether.
I haven't identified what process is block the wifi tether but there is one called tetherguard. Mine is a Sprint phone so tether is available at a fee. The phone must be capable.
Hi,
I have an AT&T Galaxy S6 (unlocked by AT&T). I was just trying to connect it to my TomTom, but the TomTom doesn't even see it. So I thought that may be because BT tethering is not enabled. Looking through the tethering settings, there isn't even an option for BT tethering (only for mobile hotspot and USB tethering). Does anyone know how I can get that back?
I've also rooted and installed Clean ROM, but this hasn't fixed the problem. Any suggestions are welcome.
Cheers!
Have you found a solution?
Have you found a solution to this? I too have an unlocked AT&T Galaxy s6, and would like to use Bluetooth for tethering. I've search, and found many tutorials on how to use it, but nothing that talks about the option not being on an AT&T device. Any help is greatly appreciated.
