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.

Hi guys, I hope someone can help me out. the wifi and portable hotspot are not working. The wifi has not been detecting open or locked wifi networks. When I try to create a portable hotspot, the phone displays the word, Error. I have Tmobile and use T-zones for my internet. Currently I am still using the internet but it is being used via USB. I still have and use internet so its not that Tmobile cancelled my internet but its more like something is wrong with the actual phone parts or the software. I have tired flashing other roms but no luck. I am currently using Android 2.3.4 on cyanogenmod 7.1.0-RC1-IncS and also has S-off. The phone is unlocked and rooted. Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance.

Try upgrading to cm 7.2.0
APN settings
No idea if this will work for you but it did for me. I am on t-mobile(UK). Wifi and tethering were both working fine for me until I rooted my phone and installed a custom rom. After going through loads of different options, I noticed that the APN had somehow changed when I rooted. (Settings>Wireless&networks>Mobile networks>Access Point Names)
For me the correct APN (general.t-mobile.co.uk) became general.t-mobile.uk after I rooted for no known reason. Adding the 'co' resolved the issue and everything started working again.
I would suggest searching the internet for your network's APN settings and having a look at the settings on your IS.
Good luck.
I tried both and none worked. Thanks for the suggestions. Any other ideas anyone?
Any one know if there is a new wifi software update? That or a hotspots update but I think they might be the same.

Hi All
I surf on internet to find someone with my issue but all the solution I tried did not work, so my situation is this:
I bought an S3 with Three mobile I unlocked so I can use different networks and I also update the S3 with official rom (4.2.1) using Odin hoping that this will make work the tethering but unfortunately the portable hotspot still not working which means the PC can connect to the Phone but the internet connection is not available, I tried to install some apps like foxfi but the issue still there, now I hope that here I can find some help
Thanks

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
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.
In the past I've been able to use PdaNet for wired tethering despite the carriers' efforts to disable it. Now it won't connect. Anyone else had this issue or know how to fix it?
Update: Put my sim card in my old Nexus 6 and tethering works perfectly. Obviously Samsung has figured this out and disabled it.
Not sure my note 8 T-mobile pdanet works great I am not rooted
