Really working tethering for stock Gear? - Samsung Galaxy Gear

Please, suggest me a really work app to install on gear and tether with my S4. I tried PdaNet Tablet and EasyTether Tablet but both close. My gear is full stock and unrooted. I can browsing using screenshare, but I'd like to use also others app, i.e., dolphin
tnx

You can't unless your s4 has a custom rom with bluetooth tethering.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought that only null_ rom can enable a connection on the Gear ?
As we need to tick a checkbox on it to enable the internet via BT, and this checkbox (functionnality) isn't available on the Gear's stock ROM.

I can browse using Screenshare (phone) on S4 and Screenshare (tablet) on Gear, but Screenshare interal browser is too small for simply browsing from Gear. I'm pretty sure that we can connect both using other apps...I'm looking for suggestions about what app I could try....

Pdanet tablet works on gear using foxfi in my S4, non rooted.
Bluetooth tether does, not because my S4 (fido) has it deactivated....
So I can connect to internet and browse if I want (but why ? it's too small) using pdanet.
Unfortunately you can not use google stuff that require internet connection since they will only work with a native bluetooth tether.
The only reason I would need internet is to use google but since I can't I rarely use pdanet, but it does work if that is what you want.
Only option would be to flash my S4 with another ROM that enables BT but for my needs, I find that too much work. I am good with all I can do with the gear for now.
My 2c...

OP how do you do screen share? That sounds interesting.

What good is reverse tethering?

What good is reverse tethering?
I was able to reverse tether my Galaxy Note to use my PC internet...However....I cannot even use Play Store via that connection. Launch of play store asks to open up Wi-Fi and won't even let me enter my Google ID without connecting to Wi-Fi first. Is there a way to overcome this? Why is Play Store or other apps not using the PC internet and asking for Wi-Fi?
Please guide.

yes is a problem you make with all programms and nothing work

funzler
it will be implemented in the next version of Null.
He has it working (pdanet) go read on it in the last couple of pages, up to the sticky versions....
I did get the foxfi bluetooth tether to work, you have to install the tablet app on the gear (I did have to change the font scalling for the app to see everything to get it connected)....It works for the browser and amazon app store but for some reason when you try to download apps it says there is not internet access. The download manager also.says no internet access.....but the browser works great including youtube in browser.

I just tried PDAnet+ Pro on my Note 2 from Sprint and PDAnet Tablet on my gear, I received a constant data connection on the browser, however...I cant seem to get a data connection on Google Maps. I also tried Spotify, worked great to stream music but I couldn't get my playlist.

Im not sure why some apps can use the connection and some can't....
Indeed, it would have to be with the way bluetooth tethering routes the data connection.
Try my guide. I got it working on Verizon without native phone tethering and I can use the google play store/Netflix

Bluetooth tethering with no root

Hello friends.
I've a Galaxy Gear with no root.
I've installed browser, but it's impossible to go on internet.
It's possible to enable bluetooth tethering on my last stock firmware?
Thanks in advance at all.
Noblesse oblige
Depends. You can use PDA net and brows the web, but if you are on a US/Canadian carrier other than Verizon, the native tethering is not an option, so you are extremely limited. If on T-Mobile, you can flash on of the international roms on your phone. Staying stock will not get you all the things that are possible using a custom rom like _null for your gear.

I had the same issue , I downloaded Easy tether pro on my phone "No root needed". I then enabled MTP on my Galaxy Gear and transferred the APK for Easy tether for tablet on my gear . The 2 apps connect phone to Gear , Viola internet on your Galaxy Gear . Almost forgot . You'll need ES file explorer to look up the app and install on you GEAR .
I have attached images of my progress

bluetooth tethering app for non root gear

hello
i was wondering if there is a bluetooth tethering app for the phone and the gear that work together so that the gear can actually connect to the internet?
like the tablet talk, which u can install a keyboard like fleksy and send messages directly from gear...
(am asking because i do not want to install custom rom)
i have tried the easy tether pro app, however, when i launch the app (for tablet) from the gear, and then i choose my phone from the selection, i get a black screen and after a while it force close. maybe another app may have better luck?
also i just tried pdanet and still as soon as i connect with bluetooth tethering, the app close....
edit: i gave up and rooted, and installed null. however the playstore app keep crashing....

[Q] HELP!: Galaxy Gear ROM Not Working After Install!

Today I installed a custom _Null ROM on my Galaxy Gear.
After full install, the Google Play Store crashes and says "Unfortunately, Google Account Manager Has Stopped Working"
The browser will not connect, and every page says "Webpage Unavailable"
I am really irritated, because I have not found 1 post with anyone having the same issue.
Please help.

In order to use the store, browser you just be tethered via bluetooth. Turn on bt tether on your phone then on the gear go to settings/bluetooth then you will see settings next to the name of your phone. Click that and select tether

It's very common; doesn't sound like you even looked...
Anyway, those things happen with no active internet connection
Internet is achieved via Bluetooth tether or pdanet (and supported tethering phone plan)
