I have installed phiremod nook V3 on my nc,
everything is great, it it much better than froyo
except for the wifi connection.
My nc can't connect to any hotspot even my iphone 4
but it can connect to my router (linksys 54-TM the setting is G not mix mode).
It lets my NC only can be used in my home.
Is anyone experienced with the issue? Any fix?
thx a lot!
The Nokia N900 had an option to set the WiFi transmit power to either 10 mW or 100 mW.
The Galaxy Note has no such option out of the box.
Is there a way to tweak the Galaxy Note's WiFi transmission power?

reviving dead thread?
in theory:
put iwmulticall e.g. from here in system/xbin folder,
then install Wi-Fi Tx Power from the market and use it to set the power
seems to work, but not sure if the wifi power consumption really goes down
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?
EDIT: Just saw this URL from another post.. guess it's a bug: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22369

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?
Thanks for your help

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 might try going to Settings - More - Tethering & portable hotspot - check wi-fi hotspot and configure

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 use Null23 with an unrooted Sprint Note 2 to access the internet. I have Bluetooth tethering set on the phone and Bluetooth internet access set on the Gear. I can connect to the internet OK, but only when I am connected to the internet by wifi on the phone. If I set the wifi to off on the phone, the gear will not connect to the internet. Am I missing something? Are the 3G/4G speeds too slow so that the gear doesn't think it is connected?

Your phone will only tether via mobile data if the rom allows
Pdanet cpu temperature
I tried PDANET in Null23 and Bluetooth tethering works fine with 3g/4g on my Sprint Note2. It does seem to be the only application that I've used that makes the watch hot. I throttle cpu to 800 for a lower temperature.
when my note 5 is connected to the wifi, the speed is very fast doesnt have a single problem.
when my ipad was connected to the wifi and stream some movie my note 5 wifi is being interrupted like totally no internet (wifi still connected) at all but other smartphone is running very well same with my ipad.
when the time i stop my ipad my note 5 is back online
everytime when the ipad is streaming only my note 5 is effected...
anyone face this kind of problem before?
