i have a Verizon Note 3 Stock/Root Rom and Gear with NULL Rom but no Nova launcher. i install NULL for the extra features but like the stock look and feel. this should work with NULL installed period regardless of your setup.
i have used Network Spooker, PdaNet, etc etc etc trying all scenarios trying to get the best results with the least amount of work to set it up and having to reconnect etc...
i am posting this just 10 minutes into my testing and so far so good.
here is what i did and with others help perhaps we can figure out if this is the best way and how it may or may not work with Gear Connection Bridge etc...
1. on Gear i put it in airplane mode
2. on N3 i turned off wifi and BT
3. on N3 i went into settings > Wireless and Network > More Settings > Tethering > tick BT Tethering
4. on Gear leaving it in airplane mode i just turned on BT and connect to N3
5. on Gear Settings > Bluetooth > tap the settings icon next to your phone device name > scroll down and tick Internet Access
7. on Phone you should see in Taskbar "Tethering Active"
8. on Gear open Browser or whatever to test
6. DONE
i have no other items running like Spoofer etc.. and everything seems to work perfectly. i now wonder for location how Gear Connection Bridge will wok?
also wonder what a day or 2 of testing battery will look like?
please let me know if this works for others
Looks great

I don't get it? That's how tethering is meant to work...

well at least for me on Verizon (not sure what carriers matter) i could only get internet access with Xposed Network Spoofer set to "Wifi" then PdaNet+ running on N3 and then PdaNet Tablet running on Gear and it was a lot of steps to get them all going. it did not work "out of the box" for me on Verizon as you were thinking.
if tethering wasnt an issue for you this will mean nothing but to me it was HUGE and very excited to figure it out.
lets see if others agree that may look at this and maybe im just nuts and this post was pointless
Some phones need wifi connection off before you can use Bluetooth tether, but other than that if you have the option on your phone to do Bluetooth tethering, then the profile will appear whenever your watch is connected

well i would never get the profile to appear and when i simply selected BT Tether in phone settings it would just turn itself back off again shortly. it wasnt until i set Gear in Airplane mode and with BT on phone off and then selecting Tether on phone that the option ever worked. trust me i had hours testing this in every way posted here
anyway it works for me now and so maybe others will benefit if they were having issues like i had.
I used Tasker with BT auto connect on the gear. When the gear connects to the note 3 blue tooth with is automatic Tasker will signal BT auto connect. Now I have sprint so I used BT auto tether on my note 3. So in other words I can reboot either device and it will automatically tether the gear. I can turn blue tooth of as well then back on same result if you are running Tasker on the note 3 also. The only issue I have is if I turn tether off on the note 3 from the settings then back on. I would have to re-enable it manually on both. But I think there maybe a way to have Tasker on the note 3 send a blue tooth packet to the gear that Tasker there can see and respond to. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Here's how I got my gTab to do GPS navigation using the GPS and 3G network from my Droid1 (android) phone.
Warning! This takes time to get set up, do us all a favor and don't try to do this while driving. We need you here to discover other clever hacks
Oh yeah, this absolutely sucks battery from your phone. make sure the phone is plugged in.
You'll need to set up two connections between your gTab and data phone: Wireless Tether and Bluetooth GPS.
I'll assume both devices are rooted. I don't know which mod I have on my phone, but on the gtab, I have TnT Lite v2.00. If this works on other mods, please post.
Setup on the Phone:
Install WirelessTether (free from the market) This creates a wireless Ad-Hoc AP that your gTab can connect to for internet access.
Install ShareGPS (free from the market) This outputs the GPS signal over bluetooth your gTab can connect to for GPS data.
Setup on the gTab:
Patch /system/bin/wpa_supplicant - see here for details - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754961 This allows the gTab to connect to Ad-Hoc (as opposed to Infrastructure) wireless APs. I personally extracted the file from the zip file in the link and overwrote the one in my gTab using Root Explorer.
Go to Setting->Applications->Development and check "Allow Mock Locations"
Install Bluetooth GPS (free from the market)
Once you've got the apps installed, you can try it out.
Pair your phone and gTab:
Turn on Bluetooth on the phone.
Settings->Wireless & networks->Bluetooth Settings Check Discoverable
On the gTab, Settings->Wireless & networks->Bluetooth Settings Check Scan for devices.
Click on your phone to pair
Click "Pair" on the Pair Request popup on both the phone and gTab.
You only have to do this part once.
Start the Tether:
On the Phone, Start Wireless Tether. Press the screen to start the tether.
Turn on Wi-Fi if it's not on already
On the gTab, go to Settings->Wireless & networks->Wi-Fi Settings
connect to (*)AndroidTether
Start the GPS Sharing:
On the Phone, run ShareGPS - Wait for a GPS fix, you'll see a LAT/LONG on the screen.
On the gTab start Blutooth GPS, Check the box for "Enable Mock GPS Provider", Select your phone and Press Connect
You should now see GPS data in the Main Tab.
Click the Map Tab and see your location on the map! W00t!
Start Google Maps
You know it from here. Navigation works, but I think the mic might not be up to the task for voice search.
Big Thanks to roebeet, and eveyone else for making this possible.
TheDude
Very cool! Works great on my phone, Evo, w/o mods since Android tether has infrastructure mode and tablet with CM B4.
You werent kidding about battery use. I have 4G going, BT, and Wireless. Power usage fluctuates between 550 and 750 Ma.
sweet! thanks, I got the bluegps for droid which works on my N1. If you have N1 you do not have to install all those ad-hoc crap.
Here is what I did with my N1
N1: install shareGPS beta (free)
g-tablet:download and install blue-gps for droid
google bluetooth gps and click on sourceforge version
1) turn on bluetooth on both and pair with g-tablet.
2) turn on gps on N1
3) turn on tethering on N1
4) enable mock location on G-tablet
5) open maps and navigate!
then you are done!
why do you need to hookup the wifi on the phone and tab - if you are using GPS via bluetooth?? that makes no sense to me..

Hmm, I'm not seeing any "enable mock GPS provider" in free bluetooth GPS version. Is that a feature of the paid version?
I'm connected and my EVO is sending data according to ShareGPS but Bluetoothe GPS on the tab just sits and waits for a fix.
Katmandu421: you need to enable that in your settings -> applications -> development menu.
Is anyone looking at getting the GPS data by WIFI? Since we have to make a WIFI connection to the phone anyway, it would be nice if we could transfer the GPS data using the same method, thereby reducing the number of components that could cause problems.
Actually bluetooth gps is the best solution since there are myraid of bluetooth gps devices out there. Moreover, gps data via bluetooth is proven to work. Wifi would require you to set up another port to handle gps information. I suppose it can be done...
Droid Inc + SkyRaider Sense 3.3.4 + gtablet = AWESOME!!
thanks for much for starting this post.
I got my gtab sync-ed up with my DINC and I'm LOVING!!!
thank you!
for those who want to know....
the rom on DINC is [ROM] SkyRaider Sense 3.3.4 Final [UPDATED: 11/16/10]
the rom on gtab is ZPad Clean v2.x
very very happy!!!
Just a quick FYI
Using a Droid(1) w/
Wireless Tether
ShareGPS
G-Tab (tnt2) w/
Bluetooth GPS (app)
About every 5 seconds or so, my tab would show me out in the ocean for a millisecond, and then back to the location. On the droid within ShareGPS>Settings> set "Create NMEA" to ON. This solved the problem immediately.
When I connected my TeleNav GPS (instead of the Droid) i didn't have this problem as it already transmits NMEA data.
thanks for the tips guys !! The lack of GPS is one of the few things i was disappointed about having to live with, NOT NOW !!! yaaahoo..
-=<> Aaron <>=-
Ayyone tried this with the Navigon app? It downloads all maps to the SD so it should elimiinate the need for Wifi. Obviously would not get traffic updates but the less devices running in the car for me the better.
Thanks, works on my Hero with 2.2 Black Mod
hi im trying to install the bluetooth gps on my gtab but is not showing up on my market i try to install by using the titanium backup did not work too, so can anybody help me
i had the same issue. installed to my phone, pulled the apk, transferred it over (yes, that's the easiest way), and on the FINAL step of getting this to work (upon clicking allow mock location on the tab) -- force close of the bluetooth gps app. i'm rebooting, but i dunno if it's going to work...
anyone else on tnt_lite 2.2 having this issue?! sucks. wouldn't be an issue on cm6.1b4 i'm sure....
i first paired my phone and allowed mock locations within the ANDROID settings before launching bluetooth gps.. I had a similar issue before doing this.

i JUST thought about doing this -- i'm going to flash default settings for tnt, turn that on, then flash back and hopefully i'll be good to go
edit -- that did it. looking good now, although maps is flashing at me in a strange manor, probably due to being indoors and my evo being unable to lock on too strong. either way, kudos for the advice!
Something's wrong...
I can get connected (shows tablet connect on the phone), but my GTab doesn't pick up my location. Am I supposed to to the patch on my phone too? (HTC Hero CDMA rooted, stock. TnT 2.2 on the tab.)
Thanks in advance!
what does the bluetooth gps show, any data coming in at all ? Also, read post #12 and see if that helps
Im trying to make my tab use wifi only becuase i don't have t-mobile service anymore. Is there anyway to get it to stop saying "searching" all the time? I have factory reset my tab but unlike other devices, there is no initial setup so i can choose WIFI only. Anyone have any ideas?
I use;
https://market.android.com/details?id=myc.phone.PhoneInfo&feature=search_result
then turn off the radio.
(also popped the sim out as I was getting occasional SIM Detached messages and reboots, so figured it was simpler to just take the SIM out and turn off the radio)

Go into Airplane mode, and then turn on the wifi.
Thats what I do. It uses less battery.
Also deactiveate "Data network mode"

Just flash overcome! Then follow simple instructions to turn off radio.. I its really simple.
Edit:
(copy/pasted directly from Overcome tweaks guide)
"Turning the 3G-based Tab into a "Wi-Fi only" device (Disabling the GSM Radio!)
To disable the GSM Radio:
- Bring up your Phone/Dialer program
- Enter: *#*#4636#*#*
- Select Device Information
- Scroll to the bottom
- Tap the "Turn Off Radio"
This will disable all Cell/GSM/EDGE connections – should only be used for those who do not subscribe to a data/cell package. This will leave Bluetooth/Wi-Fi (I think) on so you can still connect Bluetooth devices etc., as opposed to switching to Airplane mode which turns everything off! "
Thanks team Overcome. I have done this on two tabs and this works perfectly. Hope it helps?

You can turn off the radio, use wifi and I believe it allows you to use bluetooth as well.
Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I wanted to offer an alternative solution for anybody still trying to find a persistent solution to creating a Wifi only Galaxy Tab. I use Llama to set up a start up event that turns Airplane mode on, waits 1 minute, and enables Wifi. It has worked well for me for the past several months. Here's the run down of my Llama configuration:
Event Name > Start Up
Conditions -
Phone reboot > After start up
Actions -
Toggle Airplane Mode > Airplane Mode On
Queue Another Event >
Event Name > WiFi On
Event delay > 1 minute
Actions -
Toggle WiFi > WiFi On
I hope this helps someone out.
I'm getting annoyed that every time I turn off wifi the wifo callind feature keeps bugging me to connect to wifi even if I'm not at home or near any wifi... Any way to shut it up so I can still use it at home but it doeant bug me when im not on a wifi area?

There is no current way to do this as far as I know as I don't believe there is a tasker plugin for wifi calling. The only thing you could do is set up key presses in tasker so basically a macro to emulate what you want to do. I used this technique to set it up so when I connected to wifi, it would automatically detect that and switch the phone to CDMA only so the phone is not hanging on to a weaker LTE signal for no reason wasting battery. When wi-fi would drop it would go back and set it to LTE. It actually works fairly well and much better battery life especially since I have a repeater in my office.
Found a way!
This breaks ALL notifications from wifi calling but it doesn't break the functionality of calling itself. So when you're on wifi you just gotta trust that wifi calling is connected (or go into settings to see if it's on). Also it DOES break address confirmation but since this should only be a one time deal for most people you can just reenable the service when you need to confirm your address if you're adding a new network or simply want to re-confirm it. You also wont be able to turn the service on and off in settings, but since it's not a radio itself turning of wifi will kill any battery usage by wifi calling:
1. Get ROMtoolbox (I have the pro version so idk if it works on the free version)
2. Go into app manager
3. Find and open wifi calling (make sure its NOT the one from htc)(also dont just select it, make sure you go into the menu)
4. Go right to the advanced section
5. Select advanced freeze
6. Find the service "vowifiservice"
7. Click on it to disable it and agree to the promt
8. *optional* Reboot the phone or refresh the setting to clear any notifications currently showing
9.???
10. Profit

Howdy all. I was wondering if anybody has been able to toggle the wifi hotspot via Tasker, software toggle, or anything like that?
I have tried to set up the task to toggle the hotspot in a number of ways. I've tried it native, Secure Settings, Wifi Hotspot Plugin, using toggle, on, and off options. It works to enable the hotspot, but it will not disable the hotspot. To disable I have to go into hotspot settings and manually disable. This led me to try a toggling via softwares such as Power Toggles and similar. Same results, hotspot will be enabled, but won't disable without entering hotspot settings and manually disabling.
This isn't a biggie, but it would be nice to be able to toggle the hotspot using Tasker via Pebble...
Thanks for any input!
Nope - it doesn't work! It is a biggie for me because I use a 7" Anroid Tablet in my car as my infotainment system. Via Tasker I have my phone turn on hotspot anytime it connects to my car's Bluetooth and turn it off when it disconnects from car. Worked great on my old S3.
Now with the Droid Turbo, it doesn't work. Tasker and some 3rd Party apps actually can turn on HotSpot but can't turn it off (which is the bigger deal since I will often forget to disable it and be burning data when I should be on wifi).
There is also a bug where if you enable it via Tasker or 3rd Party app, then when you disable it in the HotSpot Phone Settings, it will not automatically turn WiFi back on as it should. I have checked with support via Moto and Verizon and there is no fix for this other than hopefully in a future update.
Very annoying to get a phone that is 2.5 years newer and have it not work with basic things that your old phone did. Anyway, I'd recommend posting your desire for this in the official Motorola Forums for Droid Turbo and the Verizon Wireless Forums because those are the ones the companies actually look at to see what bugs are bothering people most and need to be fixed.
Wait... so you're able to enable Wi-Fi hotspot without root on droid turbo? Unlimited data? Or just because you can otherwise use Wi-Fi hotspot on a tiered plan and just want to automate?

This really bites. It was the whole reason I bought Tasker. I have a Maxx with KK and have the same experience. I can turn on the hot spot just fine with Tasker but it won't turn it off. I wanted the automation so I don't forget.

Be sure to join the official Motorola Website forums and post your complaint/concern. I think it may be the only place Moto's powers that be look to see what needs to be improved. But yeah, it's very annoying. Based on my experience so far, though there are many things I love about this phone, I don't think I'd go with Moto again.

What my thought was is this: I have an Chinese android HU in my truck. It has 2 USB ports on it. I could use the USB port to charge the phone and tether through it also. Might even put a powered USB hub in the mix too. Thought this could easily be configured with tasker to set up.

Maybe a silly question for some but is there a way to only connect to a WiFi upon selecting it and disable automatic connection of known WiFi networks?
My dash cam is WiFi and broadcasts an SSID. My phone thinks it's a good internet connection and automatically jumps to WiFi. Essentially i have no connection whenever i drive. Obviously i could turn it off every time i get near my car and back on when i get out buuuut I'm lazy lol and I've forgotten to many times already. Anyways PCs have a priority (use other connections first) sort of thing. Is this a feature or does anyone have an app? I'll research but though I'd ask. Thanks

If you select that WiFi connection, you can disable the autoreconnect option...
Try this.
Settings > Connection > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Manage Networks > 'your car'. Un-tick Auto reconnect.
Also, under Advanced > Adaptive Wi-Fi > Network Exceptions, you could try removing your car Wi-Fi from staying connected.
Hope this helps. ☺

Why can't you select the dash cam in your phone's wifi settings and then "forget?" Especially when you're not within range of the camera?

Wow, the unlocked version is missing features that Verizon is allowing us to use? Inconceivable!
Have you tried turning off 'Adaptive Wi-Fi' completely, turning it back on when needed?
My dashcam app attempts to manage the connection itself, you have to initially connect it through the app to enable this.
When you launch the app and go to view or download the video, it connects to the cam and does it's thing. If you come straight out of the app, it stays connected but if you exit viewing the cam within the app, it conveniently disconnects the wifi for you.
Obviously your dashcam might not be capable of this but I thought I'd post it anyway because it's an easy setting to miss on the badly translated app. I've got a DDPai cam BTW. Also, if your dashcam has an app that doesn't do this then it might be worth asking the developer to implement it.
I wonder if this will be a problem with GoPros too. They use the WiFi to connect.
I'll have to check it out when I get home.
