Do you have a new iPad without a cellular connection as well as your S3? You already know you can make the S3 into a personal wi-fi hotspot but that can use lots of juice and you want the S3 to last the full day, did you know that you can connect the two using a BT PAN profile on the S3? No, here’s how…
First setup your S3:
Assign a BT name – Settings -> Bluetooth -> (menu) Device name
Enable BT – Settings -> Bluetooth = 1
Note: I needed to reboot the S3 at this point to make the new device name effective but YMMV
Enable BT PAN (tethering) – Settings -> More Settings -> Tethering and portable hotspot. Check “Bluetooth tethering”
Set S3 to BT discoverable – Settings -> Bluetooth. Check “[S3 BT name] Only visible to paired devices”
Pair iPad and S3:
On iPad: Settings -> General -> Bluetooth. Bluetooth = On
On iPad: Choose [S3 BT name] and pair devices
Note: You can initiate the pairing from either device but if you do it from the iPad end you don’t need to enter a PIN
That’s it – you should see a “chain-link” icon in the upper left of your iPad (same place you would see a wi-fi indicator) and you’re good to surf, visit the “App Store” or “iTunes”.
Why to use BT?
Use WiFi Hotspot instead and its much faster.
BT is really slow for HSDPA+ connections.
I use my iPad and I connect it to the mobile network using S3 as a WiFi Hotspot. It's working really great.
In a word or two - battery life - BT is significantly lower power consumption than running a wi-fi hotspot. Yes it's bandwidth is limited but it's higher than I see on an HSPA+ connection here in the East Midlands, UK.
i tried this but my GS3 pops up a screen notifying me to call my provider to activate this service….
Thank you very much!
:good:

The funny thing is, I don't have an option to tether via BT on my S3 in that settings menu. Only wi-fi or USB.
Hello, Bluetooth pairing is not possible between iPad and android. Seems that this feature was removed recently
does this still work? I get a message on my s3, then data connection is lost. Is there a workaround?
Just a easy solution
You can easily make a wifi hotspot on your samsung galaxy S3 and share the wifi with your ipad
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.
I got this watch over the Neo mainly because the curve fits my wrist better. I did not put it on my cell plan since I'm never anywhere with the watch that I don't also have my phone. My question is on the data feed. Is there a setting to force the watch to use WiFi where available or does it always default to Bluetooth first? Thx!
You can just turn bluetooth off in the watch settings. The only problem is that you'll have to remember to turn it back on when you're not on WiFi. The watch will always use bluetooth over WiFi when connected to your phone, there's no option that I know of to force WiFi over bluetooth without turning bluetooth off.
I just bought a Dash Cam that connects to my phone over WiFi . Can I use my Mobile Hotspot feature to share my data with a S7 while I am connected to the Dash Cam? If not can the S7 connect to two networks?
The Dash Cam does not have the capability to connect to a different network.
Yes, you can connect your S9 to the Dash-Cam and the S7 to the S9, but your S9 will disble the Mobile Data and you won't have a connection to the internet. To avoid this, enable "Keep Mobile Data on" in the Developer options.

Will that also work with wifi direct? It turns out that is how my dash cam connects on Android
I really don't know if this also works with WiFi-Direct. You can connect to a WiFi and with WiFi-Direct at the same time, but I'm not sure if you can Create a hotspot and WiFi-Direct.
If you want, you can connect the S7 to the S9 and to the Dashcam via WiFi-Direct at the same time.

Thank you for the info I will try to figure out how to do it. I may be trying to to something easy the hard way. Here is my situation
I have a Toyota Rav-4 with the basic sound. It lets a device connect as Phone or Audio. In order to steam audio to the radio and have GPS go into my ear I have to run the GPS on my S9+ and tether over WiFi a S7 with no service to the S9+ The S7 is connected to the car radio over Bluetooth as the Audio Device.
My new camera a a Nexar uses WiFI Direct to connect to the android phone
Even with the option for turned on in Developer Options the S9+ is popping up a screen that says
Turn off Mobile Hotspot?
Wi-Fi is turned off when Mobile Hotspot is active. To turn on Wi-Fi, turn off Mobile Hotspot
To enable the Repeater-Mode at the S9 you have to go to the Mobile-Hotspot settings and enable the second option (the option under the Password of the Hotspot)

I did that (see attachments) and it is still giving me the same message.
Oh, WiFi-Direct with the Hotspot is not working, I thought normal WiFi with hotspot is not working.
You can try to connect the phones with an usb cable and the otg adapter from the s9. Then enable USB-Thetering at the S9 and it you can connect it via WiFi-Direct to the Dash-Cam.
If I do that won't I lose the ability to charge the phones?
It would be so much easier of Waze had an option tho output directions to my Bluetooth earpiece
To charge the phone you would need a adapter or a wireless charger.
Just a heads up if this hasn't already been posted here is that if you have a Roku TV, Roku TV Box or Roku Stick it can emit strong WiFi signals that can interfere with your Android media player box. I seen that it can emmit at least a strong -38dB signal that can interfere with your Android box if is located near and around your Roku TV.
"Roku WiFi-Direct operates on the same frequency as USD's Wi-Fi. Roku uses WiFi-Direct to connect some remotes, which utilize and broadcast on the same channel that it receives internet from. The result is that there will be interference, even on 5 GHz, causing other devices to either drop the signal intermittently or fail to connect, or lower bandwidth. Additionally, some Roku models have a feature called interference mitigation enabled by default. This technology disrupts traffic to nearby Wi-Fi access points to attempt to improve local signal. These features can affect performance of USD's wireless network for everyone."
