Hey,
sorry if this has been discussed already. I searched but couldn't find an answer.
I am wondering if I can tether the Galaxy tab from my blackberry Storm. ie. share the data from the Storm with the Tab.
I know about rooting the phone and changing the setting to allow wifi tethering. It seems to me that this only applies when tethering an Android device to the Tab via wifi. This wouldn't work with my phone because it doesn't have bluetooth.
So is there a way to provide internet to the tab via bluetooth from the Storm?
I tried blutooth thethering to my rooted droid eris and never got it to work. I went wifi a few day ago and it works well.

Id like some info too. Blackberry bold 9700 here.

hope it works. I don't want to buy a new phone, atleast not yet!
can anyone help?
I tried Bluetooth tethering with my iphone 4 and was able to pair to recognize the iphone 4 and also on the iphone the galaxy pad was recognized however if you try to connect - the iphone 4 does not connect even though the Galaxy tab says it is paired.
Not sure what is the issue here. I read in the other issues with Bluetooth keyboard that they also have issues pairing certain keyboards.
I too want to use my iphone 4 data plan on the galaxy tab for data usage.
Anyone tried this or experience same problem?
Thanks
I m using the application "bluetooth file transfer" on my htc hero and it works just fine. And no need to root.
Didn't try on my tab though
Edit: sorry didn't read your post well thought you wanted to share files..
It disheartens me to see no activity in this thread. I'm really hoping for a bluetooth tethering option for my Blackberry (company won't give us any other option). Can't BB and Android just get along?!
Can anyone explain what the issue is with the Galaxy Tab and Bluetooth tethering?
They apparently have it working fine on the Xoom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968801
Why would it work there and not with Galaxy Tabs?
Not sure why this had to be done by Google in Xoom stock rom. Archos had has this feature. At first it would not work with BB. Then a forum member discovered the issue was the compression parameter. Recently archos incorporated this fix in the newest firmware and BB are tethering fine now.
Ordered a Galaxy Tab today. I will see if I can figure this out once it's here...
I've played with this issue on Archos Tab.
If someobody wants to play with this, here's some info on how we got it to work see here:

Hi
I have no problem on my blackberry 9780. I can tether this devices internet connection via bluetooth. the app name is PdaNet. Along with this app you can tether blackberry's connection to any device via bluetooth. It was successfull with my ex tablet.
however I couldnt manage to connect my galaxy tab. the issue to solve is the tab.
if we can find to connect this table via bluetooth (for internet sharing), the problem would be solved.
anyone has a solution?
thnx
I am wondering if there was a way to put the application easy tether or pda net on to the galaxy gear running tizen so i can tether my internet?

I don't think anyone got that app to work. Have a search around and you'll see heaps of alternatives
hi guys,
i have this problem: i can't connect internet from my gear via bluetooth tethering... i have a note 3 with gear manager version 1.7...
if i go in settings (on the gear) to activate internet access in bluetooth settings, i couldn't find this profile!
if i connect to another device, a galaxy s3 with cyanogenmod, the bluetooth tethering is available
why? what's the problem?

Have you tried looking for it under the tethering and portable hotspot setting?

Sorry, totally misread that! On my gear it's. Settings-Bluetooth-little button next to note 3-scroll down that page and there's a tick box for internet access
So I went back to Null Rom 23 from Tizen because I got an Iphone 6 and wanted to at least use the watch with it somehow or other. This is probably a real dumb question(Most of mine are) but how Do I get past the screen at boot up where it is looking for a Samsung Phone with gear manager on it> I saw in a Video from "didi" I believe where his gear watch boots straight to the home screen without the annoying "play screen" showing how to connect watch to gear manager. Thank you all very much for answering my stupid questions... I did try and search forums for an answer but no luck. - DjSkipEllis
I try it before to connect my GG with iphone via bluetooth and it works.

Hi guys, i hace this galaxy gear since november 2016
when it came i couldnt use it to pair my phone, i tried with an S7 and it didnt work, i used the stand alone mode and made it able to pair only for phone calls and sync contacts, but sometimes works and some times not.
when i factory reset the gear i get this message
"failed to connect to your gear try to connect via samsung gear refer to the manual for more information"
i know it works but i dont know if its the software version 2.2.1.3
i tried the ATT device unlock if it has something to do but in google doesnt says anything about the conectivity issue.
the bluetooth works with any android but not with my samsung or related, the website says its compatible gear s1
i give up i hope i can get answers
