hi all
i have recently installed cm 10.2.1 on my nook, and now i am trying to use it as a navigation sytem.
i would like to share the gps signal from my nexus s, running stock android 4.1.2. i tried gps 2 bluetooth, bluetooth gps output on nexus s, and bluetooth gps provider on nook, all of them can not make it work. seems like the bluetooth pairing doesnt work properly. also, i dont see such mock location in nook, simply because cm doesnt have developer option but superuser.
so how can i share my gps signal frm nexus s to nook please?
regards
victor
I don't know the answer to your question, but you said CM doesn't have developer options. It does, you just have to activate it. Go to settings, about tablet and tap the build number several times. That will activate developer options. With that being said, I use CM10.1.3 and the allow mock locations is there. But I don't know first hand if it is in CM10.2.1.

Others have said you must turn off wifi to get things to pair. Once paired, you can turn wifi back on.

I was curious about this too, and also have a nexus S (running slimkat rc3) and an HD+ with cm11 (8-Feb nightly). Seems to work, didn't need to disable wifi. Ran GPS over BT on the phone and Bluetooth GPS on the tablet. Make sure they are both visible to each other before pairing. Mock locations appears in dev options, Google it.

it doesnt seem to "try its best" to connect, i can actually pair them, in fact, my nexus found nook, but nook can never found nexus. so when i press nook on nexus, the pairing message appears in both, but when i tried to connect, it immediately goes to disable, this is what i mean it doesnt try hard.
when i installed cm 10.2.1, i actually forgot to update gapps n gapps didnt work, do i hv to do a similar approach to update bluetooth?? although i dont think so.
btw, how are you connecting them? how u share the gps over bluetooth n how u receive it on nook please?
Bluetooth pairing in cm10.2 has always been a little flaky for me, especially with multiple devices. It might take few tries, try toggling BT off and on. Once you get BT pairing sorted, you'll figure out the rest. It isn't rocket science

i assume it should be easy and straight forward as well, they can pair up, because both devices showing the pair messages, but once clicked the device and try to connect, it just never connected. i tried it with gps to bluetooth on and off before.
the best result i got so far was my nexus had to bluetooth turned blue only (i guess that means nexus connected to nook, but nook didnt connect to nexus s yet...)
It Does work

You will want an app like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=googoo.android.btgps
It will act as a GPS "provider" for any app that needs it. You must enabled "Mock Locations" under developer options for this to work though.

I believe it will work, but I think my problem is at the bluetooth pairing stage, I can never pair my Nexus S to Nook (CM 10.2.1) properly.
Do you have any comment on this please?
many thanks

Here's the situation.
Phone: LG Rumor Touch.
Yes, it's a complete crap phone with J2ME. It however, has pretty awesome Bluetooth. Unlimited Data.
Tablet: Streak 7 ofcourse.
Can't do anything with above phone unless an app is designed for that purpose. Plenty of file transfer apps, but, alas...
I want to leech internet off my phone so I can browse the web when on the road. I'm only ever without a hotspot when I'm stuck at Rite Aid for three hours while my mom is shopping (the perks of being the only unlicensed 18 year old). It'd also help so I could use the tablet as a replacement for my sister's tomtom when we go long distance (2 inch resistive screen? I might as well use my Rumor!).
Any tips or app recommendations?
Does the rumor have wifi?
It does not. It has Bluetooth and USB, and when usb connected to my PC, I can use it as a modem, but without buying a dock for the streak, that wouldn't be a viable solution.

If your phone's rooted, install this:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
It'll let you tether over bluetooth.
So far as I know, you can't root a Java phone, but thank you.

Thought it was a MyTouch Android phone; reading comprehension fail on my part.
I don't know if the LG Rumor Touch provides Bluetooth data access via DUN (Dial Up Networking) or PAN (Personal Area Network) profiles, but there is an app on the Market Place (Nook Color Bluetooth Tether) that will enable a PAN Bluetooth profile on some Android devices. It is intended for the Nook Color, but it may work on the Streak7 also. You will need to root your Streak in order to try it out.
Streak's already rooted, I'll give that a go.
bluetooth tethering
I'm curious too.
Running stock 2.2.2 rom (rooted) on DS7 (wifi only), I tried tethering with htc vogue running winmo 6.1 and htc vogue running cm7, no go. I tried using pdanet (both on ds7 and htc vogue cm7) nook color tether, and android wifi thing. No go.
Any solutions would be awesome.
Wifi is a battery drainer. Bluetooth much better as far as battery conservation.
thanks.

I might give this a try... but
1) This tethering program seems to be over WiFi not Bluetooth?
2) What build are you all using with a good Bluetooth stack?
but on my DS7 w/Honeycomb just power cycles on off...
when I click
Bluetooth
Turn on Bluetooth
it says "Turning On..." (grayed out) & then just cycle's back like it's off.
I might have to wait for a new build of HC

The app does bluetooth and WiFi (it's in the settings). If you want a stable ROM, either stay stock or use something like this (I use it pretty much just to have the black notification bar). DJ_Steve's HC port is an amazing feat, but it's still really buggy (mainly due to it coming from devices completely different than the S7).
Has anyone found a solution to data tethering the Streak 7 to another device via bluetooth?
I've got a Blackberry that will allow tethering over bluetooth, but the Streak 7 (T-mobile 4 G with stock ROM) doesn't have the proper bluetooth stack to do DUN. And it doesn't "connect" to the BB anyhow (although it pairs, and when paired I can send contacts to the Streak from the BB just fine).
Currently been using my Nexus with my GSII and bluetooth tethering for internet access, thinking that bluetooth being lower powered, short range, its probly less demanding on the phones battery.
Does this still apply to modern devices with combined radios?
Also has anyone found a widget to connect/reconnect to a paired bluetooth device?
I think the nexus is going to deep sleep, and closes the connection to the phone. But it doesn't bring it back when it wakes...which means its Settings>Bluetooth>Click on Phone...which is 2 clicks too many!

just got it set up, it works great! Thanks for this, I was using Wi-fi tether the other day, killed all 3 of my batteries
I've been using WiFi tether at work; are you guys saying that using Bluetooth tether is less cumbersome on the battery?
I've been trying bluetooth tether all day today.
I have GSM Galaxy Nexus running official 4.1.1
Nexus 7, on 4.1.1 also.
I get them bluetooth paired up and bluetooth tethered via the Galaxy Nexus' cell data.
It works for like a minute then after that, they would disconnect (unpair from bluetooth).
Been doing this all day long every time I try.
Also the 2 are only 3ft away.
Any Ideas?

Same setup, and same issue.
On a side note is there a way to use NFC to automatically pair the two devices via Bluetooth? I'd like to just touch them together and voila they are paired?

Just to pair normally? No.
But if you beam a picture, it auto turns on the bt, pairs, sends the picture, then turns off bt. The two devices does not have to be paired up beforehand either.
Google did show off new feature of NFC/BT at Google I/O during the sessions.
They showed off headphones and speakers that when you touch your JB device to the headphone/speaker, it auto pairs and audio starts playing.
So yes it's possible to auto pair devices, but those other devices need to support it.
This is a known bug with the galaxy nexus phone. It will kill BT tether when the phone goes into sleep.
Download an app called wake lock from the play store and set a partial wake lock and the problem will go away.
Your battery drain will be slightly higher though.

So far it seems to be, which it should as Bluetooth is a short range low powered protocol.
I wasn't sure that with the modern design in phones, when the radio's are all one chip, if the power saving would still apply.

Try turning off your WiFi before pairing....I think that worked for me
Are you guys using that PDAnet and FoxFi setup in order to pair the devices? Thats the only way I can bt pair my galaxy nexus and nexus 7 together.
mmm, nope its native feature in the Resurection Remix rom I'm using on my GSII
Not having any luck installing PDANet 3.5 on the Nexus 7, any ideas?
Got FoxFi installed on my HTC Desire and ticked Bluetooth DUN. Can pair it to tablet but tablet doesn't get any Internet access, so need PDANet installed for that I think.
Edit: PDANet 2.20 on the market was installable, bluetooth tethering working ok now. Really old version though...
Further edit: Looks like it is "PDANet Tablet" version I'm using, hence the confusion. 2.20 appears to be the latest one.
Just tested BT tethering on my N7 with my SGS2 (which was using wifi at the time). Worked perfectly. I did a quick speedtest and got 750kbps down and 1500kbps up (weird wifi...). I was shocked I would get such good speeds over BT. Anyway, I like this option better then a wifi hotspot. First, it's easier to setup. Second, it (apparently) uses less power. And third, it will allow me to access some special hotspots I might not get on my tablet. For example, with AT&T, they give you free hotspot access at some locations with their devices. I wouldn't be able to use my tablet there directly, but could daisy chain through the phone. Coolbeans.
Bluetoothkeepalive works to keep the bluetooth connection for bluetooth tethering. Just trying it out and hasn't dropped yet over about 15 minutes.
OK a little help please. First off nothing is rooted.
I have installed pdanet and fifox on my HTC sensation. I can connect the Bluetooth from my nexus 7 to the sensation but I can't get internet access. I checked the setting in the Nexus "Use for internet access" but still nothing.
What else should I try?

Go on the tablet, into Bluetooth, and you should see your phone in there, click on it. It'll then say connected. You'll get internet access.
I have now noticed that the bluetooth connection does drop after a minute or so, which can be a little annoying.
I'll try bluetoothkeepalive.
Another good app to get is Bluetooth Auto Tethering, it keeps tethering as an option on every time your phone boots, no extra interaction on the phone to enable tethering every time. Just enable/disable the connection from the tablet to automatically turn tethering on/off on your phone!

You are right about that, I got stuck on doing that yesterday. As for the general discussion about bluetooth tethering vs. wifi tether. I tried it out today and I can say its much better on the battery life, but the speed is pretty low. I keep doing a speed test on my phone and couldn't get over 1.48 Mbps, then tried wifi tether and was easily getting over 5Mbps.
I just got an N7 and really want this to work, the main reason I got it was for navi.
I have a rooted Droid 4 phone on Verizon, when I try to enable the bluetooth via FoxFi it says 'fail to open Bluetooth'. I click 'OK' to clear the dialog box and it appears that Foxfi is hanging at 'Starting Bluetooth'. I tap the box next to it and it says 'Bluetooth DUN on'.
I start PDA Net Tablet on the N7 (also rooted) and when prompted click 'DROID4' and it says 'fail to connect, make sure foxfi Bluetooth mode is enabeled on the phone side. Install foxfi if you haven't already.'
If I don't use Foxfi or PDAnet, I can get my phone and N7 to pair, but the N7 won't tether.
Any tips?
Seems like they really mucked up the networking support in ICS. USB tethering wasn't working for me either. When I dropped into adb to look around, I saw a whole bunch of oem_xxx chains and rules in iptables that I've never seen before. I flushed them all out, then manually entered a generic Masquerade rule and finally got USB tether to work. Maybe something similar is interfering with bluetooth tethering too. I dunno, I never use bluetooth tethering...
Thats way beyond my skills. I'm gonna try BT to another device, try and see if it's the d4 or n7 acting up.
FoxFi's wireless mode works fine, and OpenGarden's Mesh bluetooth tether works fine as well.
Don't know if this would work, but I used the stock tethering under settings. I was able to connect my Nexus 7 to my Droid 4 using Bluetooth. My Droid4 is rooted and it seems to work fine.

Here is what I did.
1. Have a rooted Droid 4.
2. Enable Bluetooth on both Nexus 7 and Droid 4.
3. Pair the devices. Forgot how to do this, but I think it is in the setting of both devices.
4. Go into settings on D4. Go to Tethering. Enable Bluetooth tethering.
5. On the Nexus 7, go into settings, click Bluetooth, and choose Droid 4. Bluetooth tethering on Droid 4 should start.
I do all that and it seems to work, I can do BT transfers, phone has internet, bt tethering is checked in phone settings, bt internet is checked in tablet, but for whatever reason the tablet doesn't have a network connection.

Did you find a solution to this as I have the same issue tethering from a HTC One to 2 different tablets. One running ICS 4.0.4 and the other on Jellybean 4.1.1. They pair up no problem and transfer files but no internet connection.
I got bluetooth tethering to work with OpenGarden. IIRC, it stopped working after an update to one of my devices. Now I just use foxfi wifi when I need to tether, Haven't tried bluetooth in a while.
Hi there....
Picked up a Nook HD the other night. Got ADB going and sideloading but haven't rooted as yet.
One of the Apps I'm using connects to a Bluetooth GPS puck (Nokia LD-3W). I can pair the device (shows as paired but not connected after pairing/pin is completed).
The problem is that the connection can be established to the puck about 1 in 35 attempts. Once the connection is up and running the data transfer (position) is OK so that proves that the connection can work.
I've got ADB up and running and examined the logcats for the pairing and connection process. I can't really tell anything meaningfully different between a failed and good connection aside from a bluetooth message that the device state is connected on a successful connection.
Can anybody give me some pointers on further steps to diagnose the problem? Happy to post logcats as needed......
Thanks,
John.

BluetoothGPS won't install as it states that it's missing a shared library. I've installed one of the other BT-GPS tools and that hasn't rendered any success.

I have recently purchased a Nyko playpad and like many other users installed the playground app that is advertised on the box. Big mistake. The app didn't work AND the playpad stopped pairing properly with my Nexus 7. I googled and discovered that many people had similar problems and the only way fix was to factory reset my nexus. I did that and all was fine for a couple hours. Then the playpad stopped pairing again! This time I decided to try and find a way to reset the Nexus's bluetooth settings without a factory reset. I succeeded and these are the results.
You can now fix the pairing issue between your nexus 7 and Nyko playpad without a factory reset or even a device restart. This may also work for other bluetooth devices with similar problems. (Like the playpad pro)
Make sure your device is rooted before trying this or it simply won't work. Also make a note that I'm running stock android 4.2.1 jelly bean. For other devices and/or android versions look below.
Also I am not responsible for any damage done to your device. Especially, that which could be caused by deleting the wrong directory.
First open a terminal and then type these commands.
Code:
su
rm -rf /data/misc/bluedroid
pkill com.android.bluetooth
Basically these commands give you root permissions, delete your bluetooth configuration data, and restart android's bluetooth service so that it reloads (or in this case resets) your bluetooth data.
Now your playpad will pair correctly with the nexus 7. I suggest you make a script out of these commands for ease of use. I am sure you will need to use them again.
FOR OTHER DEVICES/ANDROID VERSIONS:
These commands should be able to easily be adapted to other devices. Just find the directory that has your bluetooth configuration data and delete it. On jelly bean it is apparently /data/misc/bluedroid but for other android versions it could be slightly different. Use a root file browser to find it. But I think most people will be able to find their bluetooth configuration somewhere in /data/misc.
Also the name of your bluetooth process may not be the same. To find it type "ps" in a terminal. It will spit out a whole lot of text. Look at the names on the right and try to find "com.android.bluetooth." If its not there find something similar and substitute it in the pkill command.
Enjoy your gamepad.
Thank you. I was literally just hours away from returning this to Gamestop. Paired but wouldn't connect. This method worked perfectly. Not the best controller I ever used but at least now I have functioning controller for my nexus 7. Thanks again.

You are very welcome. I was beginning to worry that nobody was ever going to use this.
Your a star mate, I was having this problem also and it was most frustrating. TYVM.
THANK YOU! This was killing me. Tried a bunch of other hits on google and this was the one that worked.
Gah, really wish i'd seen this before factory restting my tablet glad someone found a non-destructive fix though, i tried erasing cache and dalvik cache to to avail either. will have to rememberer this one. Really hope Nyko find a fix for this, or google, whichever side is at fault. it's a great controller and one of the first few of it's kind (connectivity wise at least) and would hate to see it dive-bomb because of a Bluetooth glitch.
Also mine was working fine for a few days, it wasn't until after i installed the playground app that things went belly up, not sure if their related or not.
Excellent!

There are a few tools that can run a script at boot, Script Manage and ROMToolbox to name two. Perhaps one of these would be better because their features match your other needs or you already own one.
