My EVO 3D has a broken wifi chip and is currently not activated for service. I am able to connect to the internet via HTC Sync's USB Pass-through internet, but I'm trying to get it to connect to another phone's Bluetooth tether.
My other phone is a Sprint Samsung Epic 4G running CyanogenMod 10. The Bluetooth Tether option is enabled on the Epic and the phones are paired, but the EVO seems not to see the service on the Epic. If I turn on Bluetooth Tether on the EVO, the Epic can connect to the EVO's tether, but since the EVO has no internet access, it doesn't actually do anything.
The two phones can do other Bluetooth functions such as file transfers and even linking NESoid for Net-Play games, so they are fully paired. Is there an app or anything I can put on the EVO to get it to see the Epic's Bluetooth Tether?

I'm not sure if it fits your requirement or not but FoxFi only supports bluetooth tether on an Evo 3D.

I have an Epic running CM10. All options seemed to work well on stock and cleanGb but are... well... broken now. I think the problem is the Epic - it's not "offering a tether service" via bluetooth. You can test this if you have a BT capable PC. Connect each and check their properties. Under the services available there should be some sort of connection sharing. Your EVO might offer the service yet. Mine is blank. I know it's an old post, but my own search brought me here. Thought I would share.

Is it possible to simultaneously have Bluetooth Tether & A2DP? I'm looking to have A2DP to send audio to my car's speakers and wifi tether for the passengers. Thanks,
Why?
I don't think you could BT Tether & Stream the audio & WiFi Tether... I can't imagine why you would want to...
Maybe if you had one WiFi app and one BT app for the tethering it might work ... though I dont see why you can't use use the WiFi to tether for data and enjoy the A2DP BT for music???
Your topic is misleading. After carefully reading your question.
The shot answer is yes (assuming you wifi tether and not bt tether.)
I am currently listening to Pandora on my ad2p headset and I have cm7 built in hotspot turned on and my epic 4g is happily surfing the web on Lte 4g.
So score...for you and woot! Tethering hotspot in cm7 works.

Thanks guys - I'm new to tethering and for some reason thought it was all through bluetooth. Appreciate it!
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...

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!

So, I'm running on the latest nightly of cm7 on my vibrant with a glitch kernel. What I want to do is share my wired connection with my laptop, phone, and ps3 without having a wireless router. The thought is to use reverse USB tethering to put the connection to my phone then use the wifi hotspot ability to share the connection with my ps3. I know the ps3 won't recognize Adhoc being produced by the computer, also it's impossible to receive wifi and broadcast it at the same time. So is it possible to do what I propose?
There appears to be a new version of pdanet has anyone been able to get this to work as a bluetooth tether?
From the deafining silence I take it the only way to tether currently is via wifi?

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!

Was trying to figure out why I dont have the option to bluetooth tether to my car radio. Is this a Tmobile version of the phone thing?
Is there a way around it? Is it because its tmobile locked? or? any help would be appreciated, hopefully I am not f'd and have to deal with it
There is no problem tethering bluetooth with a PC...must be your radio capability.
Well I just don't even have the option on my phone. Settings > Network and Internet > Tethering.
Only 3 options I have is mobile hotspot and usb tethering and Help.
I go through the same menus on a friends g8x and they have Bluetooth tether option.
Wondering why I Dont?
I have the T-Mobile variant and confirm that bluetooth tethering is not available. It looks like TMobile removed it from most of their LG products. The LG G8X from my understanding is not officially carried by TMobile.
Good news though, you might have some luck with 3rd party apps like PDAnet or some other apps on play store for bluetooth tethering. I'll see if I can test it for you.
So the V60 won't connect to a vehicle? I haven't tried it, but I'm surprised I haven't heard more people complaining about that

I had absolutely no issue connecting mine to my car's infotainment system just pairing through the bluetooth settings. I normally use Android Auto, though, as my car's infotainment system has a well known delay through bluetooth (gen 3 Mazda3). Bluetooth tethering, though, should be for sharing the phone's internet connection. I also only see USB or wifi for tethering on my phone.
