Hi, I have internet connection on my iPhone, but I aways need turn on hotspot on iphone everytime I enter in car because hotspot only is powered on for some time..
So I would like find way to do it automatically.
I think best way is use some app to automate it..
Iphone accept tether via bluetooth. And anyway bluetooth connect automatically. Best yet, who request internet is client, so, android request internet.
I would use bellow logic, if bluetooth device x is connected then request bluetooth pan (tethering). But I not found any way it works. Somebody k own exactly how to do it?
This is a good question -I would like the same functionality on my intel sofia based joying headunit, with my wifes iPhone.
if you are jailbroken just use an app called activator.... it's similar to tasker for android.

I am very familiar with activator... please tell me how to use it for BT tethering...?
AFAIK, activator is awesome... but you can only enable native wifi hotspot tethering through it.
PLEASE prove me wrong!

i have nokia nuron (5230) and it allows sharing of the internet via bluetooth. does the tab have any bluetooth profiles that will connect to my nuron and allow the it to get to the internet? i cant actually try it right now since i am on CM7 and bluetooth isnt working properly. let me know if anyone has tried something similar. thanks.
android does not provide reverse DUN or PAN bluetooth access to other devices
however
I had another tablet that you could use an app that let you connect to other phones using the DUN capabilities.
I could connect my old nokia to the tablet and it really worked, but I couldn't do the same on my X10 nor my G1, I suspect the Gtab would be the same case(mainly for the lack of bluetooth profiles on the tab)
If you want the apk I could send it to you if you or another member want to test it and figure it out how to make it work
willing to try anything at this point. PM sent.

I know this is a few days old but can someone pm this to me.
Anybody have any luck with this? I have a G Tablet and having a similar issue..
I'm following this thread, anyone success with this solution. I'm using galaxy tab of verizon.
I have searched this topic but they all centered on Macs or got off topic or someone gave an answer that didnt even solve the solution. So i thought i would ask myself. Is there any way to share my LAPTOPs wifi TO my DROID3???
http://bit.ly/uGGo0Q
to the poster above; i dont like smarta**es. my post said i already searched so if you found something then post a link.
to everyone else i want something via usb or bluetooth. preferably usb. i have googled it and all the results are either hardware specific, need unbunto [i have windows 7] or dont have a solution. If you ever owned a zune [who has? lol besides a few of us] or a windows phone, they can do it from stock.

I have a bluetooth usb adapter on my laptop I am not sure how it does it but it allows me to get online with my droid 3 via the bluetooth link, I click on connect via access point and it works. Sometimes it works and sometimes the signal gets killed, but try connecting through a bluetooth usb adapter.
I know you said preferably over Bluetooth or USB but have you considered trying something like a virtual access point for your PC? It would require WIFI but you could run a software app on your PC that broadcasts as an access point that you could connect to from your phone.
You have a phone that is wifi capable, but you want to thether to your pc to use the wifi connection.
Oh and I hate smartasses too.

i have looked at those, but i prefer usb because it does not affect the battery life of my laptop as much. thanks for the advice.

do you know the name of the adaptor? this sounds perfect
ASUS bluetooth adapter I got it from meritiline a couple years ago, just been using it recently. And all I did was turn on the bluetooth on my phone and it worked, didn't download any software or anything.
That's funny as he'll.

Your telling me I was just fooling around with my phone and laptop on day, and clicked on a link and boom I was online. I looked at my signal and was thinking "what the hell just happened?" lol
Ifnyou have windows 7 just install connectify
Google it (smartassingly probably just add a .com to that..)
It adds an AP virtual. That sjould not spend alot more of power as you have already wifi running.

If you laptop has Bluetooth (It should, I thought all Intel wifi chipsets in laptops were also Bluetooth) then what you want is a PAN "Personal Area Network". I thought the basic bluetooth stack in Windows supported this out of the box. (The Toshiba BT stack I used with Windows XP did, I don't know for sure about the MS BT stack in Windows 7 though).
Then you just turn on Internet Connection Sharing for you Wifi adapter to the Bluetooth PAN adapter.
Something like that anyway. I'm going from memory on the Windows side, and assuming the Droid 3 (etc.) supports PAN on its Bluetooth setup.
Doing it with USB though is trickier. On Windows 7, my ME863 appears as a network device with IP address, but I don't know if it'd work if I simply used ICS to share a link to the device because I don't know that the phone would be looking for a DHCP server. (It _is_ a DHCP server at this point)
Are you sure your not using the phones 3g or wifi. Did you try turnin on airplane mode and seeing if you still have internet

I just had a play, and I don't think my bluetooth solution is as easy as I'd hoped.
My Milestone 3 was able to join a PAN with my laptop and form their little adhoc network.
The best phone-side instructions I could find are at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=666988 however a look around suggests that Windows 7 ICS won't let you share a network connection _to_ a BT network. I certainly couldn't see a way, although possibly it was because my phone is exporting a default gateway, rather than because of any inherent limitation of Windows.
It's a starting point, but not a particularly promising one. Whether ICS can be made to share Internet to the bluetooth PAN or not is really the only sticking point for "possible" versus "impossible" but a root-enabled App or possibly custom ROM would be needed on the phone to move from "possible" to "easy".

its currently in development, i havent tested it on my phonhe. well i did and it said connected, but i couldnt tell if i was using 3g or not. but if any of you want to try it, give some feedback and once again thanks to you all !

Can you/did you try setting up a network bridge w/the bluetooth adapter and whatever WAN you're using?

Just had a quick go, and it wouldn't bridge 'em.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com.../thread/84731dc8-0b23-433b-a58b-a0a2d41d93be/ suggests that a third-party Bluetooth stack would work though, just not the MS stack.
Tried posting this question to MTCD-discussion folder but the system didn't let me (moderators please move it there if you consider)
Has anybody managed to get the internet on the android auto (in my case a MTCD) through bluetooth tether (maybe with an app?) Reason why I want to do this, is because I want it to happen automatically, but iOS (as my phone is Iphone) is broadcasting the personal hotspot SSID only for a limited time. This means every time I get in the car I have to stop and restart personal hotspot.
On my Joying MTCD-device there is no option in the WIFI-menu of "connect to network even if SSID not broadcasted", and no option in the bluetooth menu for bluetooth tethering.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
Tethering over Bluetooth is not possible with these units as far as I know.
But try the following:
1. From the iPhone turn your Personal Hotspot off.
2. From your car's Android find your iPhone's hotspot and make it forget it.
3. Now go to the bottom of the list, choose "Add Network" and type your iPhone's SSID and passcode manually.
4. Hit Connect and turn on your Personal Hotspot.
Now the car unit thinks that this is a hotspot with a hidden SSID, so it will not look for a broadcast.

Hi! Tried this, doesn't work! It still connects only after i turn the hotspot on (when ssid is broadcasted)...
Yes, I just tried this with my iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 9.3.3. It looks like iPhone's Personal Hotspot doens't just stop broadcasting the SSID after a while. It turns off the hotspot completely! I tried to connect to it with my PC the way I would connect to a hidden network - no luck either. So there is nothing that can be done, because the problem is the iPhone.
The approach I described above works for hidden networks, but obviously it cannot work for non-exiting ones.

Thanks for your reply, CVT! Must be this problem, indeed. I assumed that it is still on, as actually the togglebutton is still on, but it seems I was wrong.
HTC One M7 CM13.0 (no sim/data) running Android Auto, connected to Honda Accord 2016 all times - soon as car starts android auto starts, using Bluetooth Tether Manager app to auto connect to Iphone hotspot
Iphone 6S IOS10 Beta3 (data) bluetooth hotspot.
Car starts, turns on bluetooth on android phone, android auto starts, then tether app connects to my iphones bluetooth tether.
The bluetooth tether manager app says not connected, but the bluetooth in the menu shows connected to my iphone.
I think this is what you are trying to do as well. If you can bluetooth tether to your iphone, this might work with your unit.
Does simply plugging an iPhone into one of the usbs for tethering Work?.
It does not

Googling shows mixed results over whether this will be possible.
When my phone connects to the car Bluetooth, can mobile hotspot also turn on so my car sat nav can use the phone data?
Currently I have to turn it on manually each time.
Thanks

I do it with secure setting plugin... but you need to be rooted.
Regards,
Sorry for a possibly dumb question, I am new to android. Does Tasker provide additional functionality when rooted?

Can be done:
State: BT near (select BT from Nav device) -> task wifi set off, wait 2 seconds, wifi tether set on.
On android 6 I used secure settings for also switching bluetooth tether on. This doesn't work for me in android 7.0.
I now use the app Blue Car tethering. This checks for a bluetooth network and then forces bluetooth tethering.
This is unrooted for both phones.
From what I gather, YMMV depending on the phone, head unit, or even carrier. This works to turn on the hotspot and re-enable wifi/turn off hotspot when the bluetooth connection drops for my current setup (rooted Honor 6X/Android 6, Cricket Wireless, Android 4.4 head unit):
Profile state=BT Connected CAR KIT,*
Action=WiFi Tether Set On
Exit=WiFi Set On
I don't need secure settings for that to work on my Honor 6X, but I have two other phones that profile doesn't work on, so you might have to play around to get something that works for your particular setup
I've got it working, thanks for the help folks

Would you mind sharing how? It would be very useful to me. Thanks :good:
Sure, create a new profile based on State
In the filter type 'BT'
Then click BT Connected
Then select or type the exact name of the bluetooth connection of your car
Then create a new task for Tether On (instead of trying to find the options, I find it much easier to search)
Job done, works every time for me. As tether automatically turns off itself after xx minutes of not being used, I didn't bother setting an exit task to turn it back off.
Is this related to Bluetooth tether or wifi mobile hotspot?
I'm looking for an automated solution for my car android 2din device.

You're asking this in the wrong place. Look for iPhone forums via Google.
