[Q] Using Bluetooth for wireless tether - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
On my HTC Desire running Cyanogenmod I used to be able to use the wireless tether app for root user's
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
I used to tether my ASUS Transformer to it using Bluetooth tethering as it was much easier on the battery.
Now I know that you need a compatible kernel for Bluetooth tethering to work.
My question is, has anyone come across a Galaxy S2 kernel that supports Bluetooth tethering?
Many thanks.

I would like to know also!

I haven't tested it myself, requires root:

[Q] usb tether?

Has anyone had any luck/experience getting a wired tether going on their x10mini/pro??
Easy Tether works just fine
Is there anything that would do it for free?

[Q] (Q) Anyone lucky with Bluetooth Tether?

Hello folks!
Has anyone succeeded to use Bluetooth tether with non smartphones (featured phones)?
I have a SE W995 which supports only DUN (Dial Up Networking) profile for BT tether.
I wasn't able to find any app that gives that capability to my GT10.1
Ironicaly, I own a jailbroken iPod Touch which HAS this capability and can surf in the internet when out of WiFi coverage using BT-DUN on my W995.
Why isn't Google providing this basic and important feature?
If some of you knows how to do it, please share!
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Bluetooth Tether

I can't seem to tether my internet connection to my xoom through bluetooth. It says, paired but not connected. And it won't connect. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?
I've never tried it through Bluetooth, but why don't you try WiFi Tether instead? It should perform better than BT.
Cheers!

If it doesn't work natively then search for an app from the market or online. If you get one online make sure you get an antivirus...

PDAnet http://junefabrics.com/android/
Read up on it, it supports usb teather to a computer, or bluetooth/wifi to a computer or another phone.
PRemoteDroid is an awesome app! It allows for wifi or bluetooth remote access to your synced computer. Check it out...I use it in my classroom all the time!

I tether with Bluetooth from my Droid x and Droid 2. Use Open Garden Wifi Tethering from the market. Open it, menu, settings, check use Bluetooth pan tethering and start it. Pair phone with prime using Bluetooth and connect. This will work assuming your phone is rooted.
I just tried it, and it seems to work for me.
1) HTC Evo 4G, Sense 1.0-based ROM with PDANet 3.25
2) Transformer Prime with PDANet Tablet
Evo is connected to my home network via Wifi. Prime has Wifi disabled.
I got some Bluetooth error the first time I tried enabling Bluetooth DUN in PDANet on the phone, but it worked the second time. PDANet Tablet saw it almost immediately and was able to connect just fine. I think we have a winner here.
BT tether using PDANet Tablet (new) did not initially work with a Droid2. After the recent update for the Transformer Prime it is now working!

[Q] Replace Hotspot with wireless tether?

When ever I connect my new iPad to my cell via Bluetooth it launches
Hotspot on my cell. Is it possible to remove hotspot and launch wireless tether when it's connected via Bluetooth on a custom rom? Any thoughts?
Thanks
What ROM and what gen of iPad? Also, why BT tether when wifi or ad hoc is more efficient?
