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.

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
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 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.
Just got a 2016 Hyundai Sonata and am pretty disappointed with Android Auto.
Are there any tweaksn/root for this system or anyway to use other apps with it?

What problems do you have with it (just curious)? There are no mods that I'm aware of, we just have to use what they gave us. If it's an app that's bothersome, contact the dev. and ask them to make changes.
Unfortunately, there is a very small percentage of Android users that have Android Auto so devs are probably not that motivated to tweak it.

When I plug my phone in to it some times it connects some times i does not, if I leave usb debugging enabled I get a random reboot, random apps not working, the lag, seems to use much more power than the USB port can put out. This happens with a rooted G4 and a stock note 4.
It's hard to find anything useful information about this cars system.

Ah, I'm experiencing the same issues, and I don't think they can be remedied by a hacked Android Auto app. I thought you were going to say something about the press limitation or desire for more apps.
I'm not sure if the connection issues are because of Hyundai or android auto. I have found that you have to wait for Bluetooth to connect before plugging your phone in.
The USB port not outputting enough power is the fault of Hyundai. I actually just submitted an email to their corporate about it, but I'm not sure how much good that will do.

Yea I didn't think that an app hack would resolve the charge problem. The true reason is the lack of apps and features. I hate when software is artificially limited.
Have you tried a Y cable for the power issue?

I agree, I really wish there was a local music app designed for Android Auto, but there isn't one yet.
I'm actually using a y cable now, but it hasn't helped. I thought it was, but I just went on a 4.5 hour road trip and I had to stop after 3.5 to charge my phone with a 12 volt adapter. Granted, I started the trip with my phone at 60%, but still, it should charge via USB.
I received a response from Hyundai about the USB port and this is what they said:
"The usb port you refer to is working as designed. The only time your phone will charge when connected is when the phone is idle. The port was not designed to charge your phone while connected. Just a reminder that your phone needs to have a minimum of 30% battery life to operate Android Auto."
Not very helpful, and they don't seem to care.

I have a 2015 Hyundai Sonata with Android Auto and I had very flaky connection problems when connecting my phone. My phone is the LG G4. What I can tell you is since my phone has been upgraded to Android 6.0 the connection has been flawless and very quick. I stopped using Android Auto because the connection was such a pain but since Android 6.0 I use it all the time now.

I also have a 2016 Sonata. One thing I have found that helps is to use the key fob to unlock your car as you are walking up. Do it about as far away as it'll reach. That gets the car's computer to start booting. It then is more reliable bringing up android auto. Most of the cases where I have not had it connect have been when I plug in the phone before the car is fully booted. I also second the comment about the USB cable. I was using a fairly thin one off my Note 5 charger and the phone would drain while using. I bought a 3' cable off monoprice.com and now the phone slowly gains charge.
Hi,
My car is not able to connect to Note 9 via MirrorLink. I used Galaxy A5 in the past with the same car. So I assume it's not a car issue.
Once MirrorLink is selected on car Media system, it tries to connect to my phone and even launches SkodaApp (but on the phone screen.. not car multimedia system) and immedately quits with an error that phone doesn't support MirrorLink.
MAybe something's missing in the phone. Any ideas?
AndroidAuto runs perfectly with Note9+Skoda. But not MirrorLink
Thanks

My Subaru has MirrorLink, but it doesn't work correctly either. Message board says MirrorLink is not backwards compatible with older versions... So, the Note 9 version (1.4) is "too new" for older vehicles. People have downgraded the app (not sure how, really), and it connects. Maybe this is why...

Yeah, I have Samsung's MirrorLink app disabled, otherwise when I charge my phone from the USB port, it locks up.
And, I just tried to sideload an older version, but it won't (yes, sideloading is enabled). Of course, no reason why is given.
But, it's just an experiment for me. MirrorLink isn't well supported, not a lot of apps. I'd rather have Android Auto (which the 2018 Forester DOESN'T support either... :silly.

Regarding side loading, you may need to use App Cloner. It will sign the APK differently so you're essentially running another instance of the cloned app, instead of replacing the original app. In my experience, very few Samsung app you can side load with the newer phones.

After few experiments it started working for me.
Looks like Samsung Car Mode must be installed for other MirrorLink apps to work. I've read somewhere that at least one MirrorLink certified app must be installed. Not sure what Certified means because apps like Skoda One App are also certified.
Anyway - problem solved. Both Android Auto and MirrorLink is working. Both are useless* for me but at least both are working if I'll need a show off for my friends
*Useless because I can't use assistant apps (EN is not my native), Waze looks poor and blured on car screen etc.
For me it is strange. I have 2 android phones, a oneplus one rooted and a samsung s8 non rooted. I try to connect the oneplus with a cable for android auto but the S8 disconnects from bluetooth, so the 2 phones can not be connected at the same time. The weirdest thing is that my wife as the iphone 11 pro max and when she is in the car i can connect the S8 with android auto and the iphone still works with bluetooth. Why can't i do this with 2 android phones?
So, if i can connect the S8 with aa and the iphone via bluetooth, why can't i connect another android phone
rather than the iphone.?
If in my car, i have 2 "slots" for bluetooth connection:
1 combination : S8 connected with aa and using 1 "slot" BT and iphone connected using the other BT "slot", works fine
2 combination: S8 connected with aa and using 1 "slot" BT and oneplus one connected using the other BT "slot", never works
3 combination: oneplus one connected with aa and using 1 "slot" BT and S8 connected using the other BT "slot", never works
Why?
I think this is an implementation issue of the head unit. In the Subaru, I've had my phone connected to AA for navigation and my wife has used hers on bluetooth for calls. Try turning bluetooth off on the phone that is connected to AA - I don't remember, but I may have had to do that.

Hi. I have the same problem. But, if I freeze all the bluetooth services of the phone that is connected by cable (bluetooth does not work), I can connect the other phone by bluetooth to make calls and android auto works correctly.
This solution is not the best for me, since I want to connect the obd2 to the bluetooth of the phone that is permanently connected to AA.
I read online that there are people who could solve it by cloning the same bluetooh mac on both phones. But I can't find how this procedure is done.

Hi. I believed the same as you. But, in my case, if I disable all bluetooth services, android auto still works, with the cell phone connected by cable. (cell phone bluetooth is disabled)
I would like to find a way to use it to connect the obd2, to the cell phone that is permanently connected.
Any idea how to solve this?
Today i had the S8 connected to the infotainment system by bluetooth and then i connected the oneplus with the cable (because i had to restart the oneplus), it started the Android auto connection and for moments the 2 phones where working at the same time (i continued to listen to music from S8 and had the android auto interface on). I was viewing google maps on aa and when i switched app, the connection with S8 broke. I still don't understand, i thought that the 2 channels i had in my car for bluetooth where not connected between one another, but it seems that with 2 android phones the connection is broken. I insist, with the iphone and any other android phone works just fine.

It does not have to be that way, at least for me. And if this works like that is a bad implementation of android auto. My car has 2 slots for bluethoot connection, i think they would have to work independently from each other, but in this case you have 2 android phones, it seems that the connection is linked in the 2 slots and it will not work, but if you have an iphone and an android phone the 2 slots work independently and they work just fine. So...Why? I still can't get it, it shouldn't be like this.
Hi mates, the same here!
I´ve an android radio with bluetooth 5.1 and can´t find a way to connect 2 Android phones at the same time. Tha´s ´cos 1 is for calls and 2 is only for music (rooted with Viper4android). Do I need another bluetooth adapter in order to make the 2nd phone working? Or what??
Tks so much and tks in adv
In the last week i has able to connect the 2 android phones via Bluetooth in my car. The trick here is to connect first the phone that you will use for calls, and then connect the other phone. If you try to do it the other way arround it won't work.

I tried the way you described, but as soon as you try to connect 2nd phone, my android head unit says to disconnect 1st phone, in order to connect 2nd phone.
Just FYI
1st phone= S10 (for receiving calls)
2nd phone= Oneplus X (android auto)
Honda accord head unit ( android auto)
For me it's not possible.
Can you describe step by step your thing. Cause AFAIK I have no go.

First off all, my car has 2 slots for bluetooth devices, normally i use an iphone (wife) and a samsung s8. In the past weeks i was trying to connect the s8 and an oneplus one. I struggled at first but now i only need to have the oneplus turned off and connect the s8 to the bluetooth of the head unit, then i turn on the oneplus witch is very fast since this device has few apps installed and connect with the cable via android auto. I even share the internet connection between phones and can play youtube videos in the head unit. The car is a Skoda Kodiaq 2017 (VW group).

I tried the way you described, but as soon as you try to connect 2nd phone, my android head unit says to disconnect 1st phone, in order to connect 2nd phone.
Just FYI
1st phone= S10 (for receiving calls)
2nd phone= Oneplus X (android auto)
Honda accord head unit ( android auto)
For me it's not possible.
Can you describe step by step your thing. Cause AFAIK I have no go.

It happens to me as it does to you. When I connect with the cable it forces me to use the bluetooth of the cell phone connected to the cable.
I still can't find the solution
