anyone got bluetooth tethering to work?
I have an Atrix on Cyanogen Mod 7 which allows my laptop to bluetooth tether to it, so I know it can do it. However when I pair my Sony Tablet to it, I don't get any options to do anything, let alone tether.
e.g. when I pair to headphones I get option to use as audio etc. but with my phone, i can only pair, I can't do anything else and no options / uses are presented.
what are you trying to do with your phone/tablet via bluetooth? Seems like it would be easier over wifi. If you're trying to tether via bluetooth that won't work, and beside bluetooth data transfers are super slow.
the advantage is that I don't have to manually toggle wifi hotspot on and off on my phone. I can just leave bluetooth on (on my phone, I also use BT headset so I leave it on anyway) and connect at will.

Anyone gotten BT tethering to work with this particular tablet?
I got a rooted CM7 moto atrix that defo works via bluetooth DUN/PAN (to my laptop). However, when I pair it to my Sony, I don't get ANY options to do anything other than unpair.
wifi tethering of course works fine but I'd prefer BT -less battery drain, don't have to manually dig out my phone to toggle off/on, etc.
Does anyone know of or use an app that will auto-enable a bluetooth tether when wifi isn't connected & vice-versa?
I'd like to have my Prime on line at all times but choose the best available connection.
I looked at having Tasker do this, but it isn't capable of activating a specific bluetooth connection - it can only toggle the bluetooth radio on or off.
Any ideas would be welcome.
Hi everyone,
I am an owner of the GSIII I747M and the ASUS Transformer, both running ICS. I recently had this idea (fantasy?) where I mount the Transformer in my car, hook it up to the car speakers and basically use it as my in-car infotainment system instead of the headunit that's in there. Nothing wrong with my in-car headunit (except the fact that I can't get bluetooth to work with my GSIII), but the tablet will give me tons more features. When I enter the car, I want the tablet to automatically tether to my phone via wi-fi and via bluetooth. Wi-fi is for internet access and it works just fine. The bluetooth is for the hands-free profile, so that when I receive a call, the music/navigation/whatever gets interrupted and I can take the call. I also want to be able to dial from the tablet.
When I connect the two devices via bluetooth, I don't have a hands-free profile; indeed I have no useful profiles at all. My question is simple: is there an app for that? Any suggestions? Has anyone done this? Thanks!
I have a Bluetooth tether enabled Android phone and a Android Tablet.
Does anyone know what app (widget) can specifically connect the tablet to the Phone's bluetooth tether? one click?
without having to go into the settings.
Did you ever find anything? I installed BT Auto Connect. It can connect when Bluetooth is turned on. So you just need to toggle BT. But I am also looking for something for when I walk away with my phone, I don't want to have to turn off BT then turn it back on.
Bump, I'm also interested in this.
Is there a way to make the hotspot turn it self on when I connect my Bluetooth?
I have a car stereo that I have wifi on, and I use my phone as a hotspot for it. Now I'm wondering if there is a way for the hotspot to turn it self on when I get it my car? The stereo automatically connects to my phone through Bluetooth as a hands free, so can't that be something to use to turn on the hotspot?
Any clues?
