All,
I'm running the beta cm11 on my YPG70 (US) so far this has been fantastic.
I have one feature not working that it seems has also been an issue for others.... Bluetooth tethering does not work.
I am able to get the device to connect to my main phone (a Moto X) with bluetooth tethering enabled on both AND it seems like the devices are able to change data across bluetooth, however, now Internet or WAN traffic gets to the YPG70.
I know there was a bug fix in an older version of Cyanogenmod to some networking routing table config files (I belive) so maybe this is related to that cropping up again.
I also found a post to check for /system/bin/pand which DOES NOT exist on this build from Jan 13.
Any ideas?

Does anyone know how to get the x10 WiFi or Bluetooth connection working on a playbook? I am currently on CM7 rom.
Please help
What do you mean? Tethering to it and pairing? Should work just fine. I dont have any problems. Not running CM 7 at the moment but if your wifi and bluetooth work then should be good.
I tried BT tether as well as WiFi tether and they don't work. On CM7 roms the WiFi tether only works in ad-hoc mode which the playbook does not support. maybe i will try a different rom.
pairing works but not tethering
Rom's based on stock seem to work, I can tether my data connection to the playbook. As for the bluetooth, it pairs but I am unable to actually send any files back and forth (not sure if this option is actually available to non-bridged devices), it runs as a audio/video remote, currently using OS2 Beta, so maybe thats an issue, not sure, didn't check on OS 1.08
Wifi tethering working Blackberry Playbook
Hi,
i´ve had the same issues, beeing not able to wifi tether, with my playbook and Samsung Galaxy S2. Wifi tethering worked with every other device but not with my playbook.
Bluetooth tethering seems to be working with every BB and only some other devices.
So the problem must be in the wifi from bbpb.
Since yesterday there is 2.0.0.7111 beta for Playbook.
I installed the beta and now wifi tether works. I don`t get disconnected anymore.
hope that will work 4 you too.
Register here to be able to get 2.0.0.7111
Sorry, i`m not able to post Links =( ... just google 2.0.0.7111
Hey Guys,
first post here, so hopefully i don't do anything wrong
Got myself a Freelander PX1 Tablet with Android 4.2.1. Unfortunately I am stuck while trying to use my phone's internet connection via bluetooth. From what it looks like my android system is missing the Private Area Network PAN client support. (no /system/bin/pand)
Is there any way to 'install' this? As the tablet also does not recognize ad-hoc wifi spots I am unable to go online
Thanks!
Cheers
-Daniel
anyone?
I'm wondering the same thing. I just managed to pair an older Lenovo A1 Gingerbread 2.3.4 with a Galaxy S4 JellyBean/CyanogenMod 10.2 by having them pair, then the phone turn on Bluetooth tether (which Gingerbread doesn't support), and connect to the PAN from the tablet using pand.
This works but it's a complete pain that JellyBean doesn't have pand anymore!? Meaning I can't hope to repeat this with 2 JellyBean devices, only older and newer, or some set of in-the-middle Android versions...

sorry to hear that at least that means its not my fault^^
Ok! I happen to have this this post open in my browser so I thought I would share in my success, however obvious it is.
I managed to get a hold of a 2nd JB device. I tested this with 2 Samsung S4s. On the "master" device go into settings -> Network More... -> Tethering- > Enable Bluetooth sharing. Don't do this on the other device. Then pair the devices like normal. The end device should automatically tether through the 1st "master" device. You'll see a BT icon with brackets around it in the system tray. The BT icon will be lit blue on both devices.
If you get into the adb shell and have iwconfig around, on both devices you'll see a new network called "bt-pan". The "master" device will be a .1 (e.g. 192.168.40.1) while the "slave" will be given a DHCP address from the "master". (e.g. 192.168.40.124)
The "pand" tool set is not longer needed. You can just pair normally with newer devices. If you're pairing an older Android device that has bluetooth but not the bluetooth tether option in setting, like my Lenovo A1 GingerBread (which I keep for testing), you'll need to manually using pand to setup the PAN. There are apps that will do this for you.
Hope this helps.
Is there any way to equip the LG G Watch with WiFi, like the Samsung Gear Live. I have read that the G Watch lacks WiFi because it does not have a WiFi antenna. Can a WiFi antenna be added to the watch? Or, what about connecting the G Watch to a WiFi chip via Bluetooth? Would any of these work? Thanks!
i dont think so, wifi has to be built in on the rom, a simple bluetooth wifi wont work, but modifying hardware may work but its more difficult.

@Jaocagomez Thanks for your help. How would I add WiFi into the rom programmatically? Also, what would the hardware modifications be like? Also, couldn't I create an app/client that uses a WiFi chip attached by bluetooth to update notifications? Thanks!
You would need to add the drivers built specifically for the Android kernel. The ROM would need to be built with WiFi support enabled in Android (which currently I believe is impossible as you cannot procure the source code to Android Wear atm). A Bluetooth WiFi adapter would not work because Android wouldn't know how to deal with it at all, The reason that the GWR was able to enable WiFi was because support was already built into Android as it was part of their hardware base. It was simply missing the drivers for the kernel.

Also the Wear app on the phone wouldn't allow the watch to use WiFi, as the model doesn't have it as a standard.

It probably would actually, I've been given the option to use Cloud Sync my gWatch connected.

I saw it there also, but someone said it just broke the connection with the watch and required to do a Factory reset. Read it sometime last year, when WiFi for Wear rolled out.
The watch contains no WiFi radio so obviously it cannot use wifi. The only wireless technology it uses is Bluetooth 4.1 LE.
Anyone know what the problem is where Android 6.x and now 7.x where apps do not work for connecting over temporary (non-internet connected) wifi networks to set up a device? For example I can't set up a Google Home or a Vizio smart TV, a Ring Wi-Fi doorbell or connect to a Wi-Fi action camera on my 7.1.2 device, basically anything where a device sets up a temporary network does not work, but if I dig out an old tablet running kitkat or something it work work fine to complete the setup. Since Android 6.x in my experience it will connect to the device's Wi-Fi but fails anyway as if no data is being transferred or something. It seems to be a common problem and it is something I've been dealing with for a good 18 months. Anyone know what the issue is and maybe a workaround for it?
Hi All,
I am wondering if anyone can take a look at a keypad (tablet) that runs on Android 6.0. It has no WiFi, just works over POE w\Injector. Wondering if we can WiFi to this Androind build. You can PM me for details.
thanks
Bump.. Anyone interested? The issue is since the tablet is hardwared the apps need WiFi to connect. Not sure why the apps need WiFi, since the tablet is already online, can browse internet, etc. IE; If I launch the Sonos App, it ask me to enable WiFi. It wont connect using the hardware POE connection.
Here is the build info to this device.

@sweethip
PoE is Ethernet and not Wireless ( Wi-Fi ): Your tablet does't support Wi-Fi connection because it hasn't an inbuilt Wi-Fi antenna .
@jwoegerbauer
Thanks for the response.. Yes it does have it built in.. it's just disabled or removed from the latest build.
I am asking to see if someone can take a look and see if they can re-enable it since I am not familiar with android devolpment.
Is that a limit on android apps not working over Ethernet ? Don't get why the apps won't work even though it's connected online.
