Hello there, it's been a long time since I've posted on XDA but I require assistance. I purchased an S6 Edge a few months back and everything is working as should apart from bluetooth tethering.
I have tried with my laptop and my nexus 7 which I have installed in my car, both of which worked fine with my previous HTC M8. After setting up tethering on my phone, the other devices connect and the icon appears indicating that tethering is active and an internet connection is available, but I am not able to actually connect to the internet.
My Samsung is not rooted, unfortunately, as I don't want to trip 'knox' for warranty purposes.
Just to clarify that I am doing everything correctly, I select 'mobile hotspot and tethering' from the settings menu of my S6 Edge, then 'Bluetooth tethering'. This turns on Bluetooth and enables tethering. From my paired devices (Laptop and nexus 7) I select 'Use as internet connection'. The devices connect and the tethering icon appears. No internet connection is available.
I imagine this isn't a common issue as after searching I didn't find any threads indicating the same problem.
What would be the best way to troubleshoot this?
EDIT: I would like to add that Bluetooth file sharing works without problems.
EDIT: I would also like to add that my phone is SIM free, and I use the same provider as with my previous HTC M8 that worked fine.
My android version is still 5.1.1 as the update is not available in my area yet.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Rob.
Update: I manually updated my phone to 6.0.1 (without rooting) as I never got the update pushed to my phone. I am still having the same bt tethering issue. My phone says I'm connected and sharing internet with my other device (nexus 7) but that device isn't connected. My s6 is connected fine, it's just not sharing properly.
I get the same results with my laptop.
Can any body suggest any fixes??
EDIT: If my phone is connected to wifi, it will share that connection. If it is connected to 3g/4g it doesn't share the connection even though the phone itself is connected.
Bump.
I suppose nobody is having this problem. Is there any way to debug what is happening?
I am having the same problem. Trying to bluetooth tether my Galaxy s6 edge to Galaxy S2 tab. Both on Android 6.0.1 It appears that the connection is established, but internet does not work on the tablet. Let me know if you had any luck.
Galay S7 Edge AT&T SM-G935A WIFI Calling ON Even When The Function is Turned Off HELP
Hello guys, as the title says, my Galaxy S7 Edge phone for AT&T uses WIFI when calling even though the function is turned off. This is an AT&T phone but I am using it on the T-Mobile network. I already tried resetting all connections settings, restarting the phone, I disabled all the AT&T related apps, and reinserting the SIM on the phone. The thing is that when I am in the phone while driving (Bluetooth of course), the phone uses WIFI calling and if I move from the WIFI area, the call starts making those old modem sounds and sometimes the call fades. I know it is WIFI calling connected when the WIFI simbol has the little plus (+) sign on it (See attached picture). I just want to turn off this feature. Please help!!!
This sounds like simple question but it is not. The only way so far of removing the WIFI calling is by disabling the WIFI connection HELPPPP Please!!

Hi.
I did a Hard reset on my Samsung SM-S337TL Luna phone, when I am configuring the phone it asks me to connect to a WIFI network and it does not detect any Wifi network.
The phone is also blocked by google.
I have put several ROMs in the hope that it can detect the WIFI but so far nothing.
I would appreciate a little help.
