I'm trying to tether the transformer to my phone via Bluetooth and it doesn't seem to work. They will pair but refuse to connect. Tapping on the device does nothing too. I've tried re-pairing them a couple of times to no avail. Is anybody experiencing this?
Yes, I know the phone is old.....gonna upgrade soon!
I'm having the same issue with my INC with cm7.03

Would you try "market BT file transfer" for connecting?

Which tethering app did you use?
And, did you try to make your magic to be able to access internet via Transformer?

Works thanks!
Bloody hell, that works! Thanks!
What did that Bluetooth File Transfer app do though?
@kaguyahouraisan
I was simply using the Wireless Tether app on the market.
I just installed Bluetooth File Transfer app on my TF but I'm still not able to tether my TF to my phone via BT for internet access. Can someone please post more detailed instructions.
Thanks.
I installed it on both my TF and the Magic. Pair them up as per normal, then connect them via the BT File Transfer app. Once I got them to connect, I could connect them through the Bluetooth settings page without needing the BT File Transfer anymore.

Hey, I have a Motorola Q9h and I'm using it to connect my laptop to the internet.
Currently I am using the Internet Connection Sharing program "IntShrUI.exe" and connect via USB. Now I heard that it was possible to use a Bluetooth PAN instead of the USB cable. The only problem is that the "Bluetooth PAN" option doesn't show up in IntShrUI.exe
I searched through a lot of forums and read many threads but didn't find any answers. Only some more people asking about that issue
baimo- you were right on. Got it up and running with my laptop. The only thing I noticed that a USB was the only option to tether. Didn't see a Bluetooth connection option. But regardless, good to go. Thanks.

Hi.
When i connect my touch pro to my laptop my touch pro thinks he is charging. I tried another laptop/cabel/ROM but it doens't matter.
I can't get a connection with my phone.
Any idea's?
Don't you get asked, what to do, when you connect the TP to your laptop?
Maybe it connects as Harddisk? Do you get a removable device in your laptops file explorer after connecting?
Check settings of your TP in connections - USB to PC.

Hi,
No, i don't get asked and the settings are good.
It's strange, because it is suddenly.
I had this problem last week and it turned out to be the cable I was using....but I guess you already tried that. How many cables you try? Maybe get another one and try it...

Well, i tried 3 different cables. The only thing i changed is the cable in my car. last week i was i Italy and by car charger has gone dead. And i buyed another one. that's all..
Anyone?...
hardreset?
Hard-reset, new ROM, new Radio... nothing helps
Reinstall activesync.
Try another laptop/computer.
Otherwise I don't know.

Deed.. nothing
Maybe you can find some new ideas here.
my phone sometimes just charges without activesync but that's only when i have wifi on 0.o if i turn wifi off then the phone syncs.
No luck... tried everything.
Well,I have similar issue with AS.
It starts suddenly and now I am unable to connect.
When I have enabled "Faster data synchronization",then the green icon keeps rotating for a while,but ends with an errormessage. When I uncheck it,AS absolutely doesn't see TP,no attempt.
My cable is working,because I am synchronizing also a HTC Hurricane(SDA2) without any problems.
I have also tried another PC,no luck,same symptoms.
Mass Storage and Internet sharing is working also perfectly.
Mainly I tought,that the IP connection is firewalled,but when it doesn't work also on another PC,that was working before,I have no more ideas.
First and foremost, thank you XDA comunity for all of your help!!!
Soooooooo.....
I have been wanting to share my GPS badly.... when I share it using "Share GPS" from the market, I can connect via bluetooth, but it's in and out and not a solid connection (is there something possibly wrong with my bluetooth on my tab, or on my galaxy s phone??)
Anyways, I see an option to connect via USB instead of bluetooth.. my guess is that this would be a much more stable connection when compared to the BT... but, I can not get it to work for the life of me.
Is there a special trick to share my GPS? Any way to do it via USB or maybe even WiFi?
Thank you!! Alex

Which Bluetooth GPS program are you using on the G-Tab?
I see most people on this board reference "Bluetooth GPS" :
http://www.appbrain.com/app/bluetooth-gps/googoo.android.btgps
I actually use "Bluetooth GPS Provider":
http://www.appbrain.com/app/bluetooth-gps-provider/de.mobilej.btgps
I had some issues with the former, but the latter has been rock solid for me.
While I have done GPS sharing with my DroidX, I primarily use an external GPS mouse I picked up on Amazon for about $30.00

Thank you so much for your info!! What the heck do you use a GPS mouse for?
I downloaded the program- "Bluetooth GPS" but when I hit connect, it says "Service Discovery Failed".... any ideas on what that could be, and how
I can work around it?
Thanks again for all your help!!!
did you pair it first?
I'm actually using my old Samsung Epix Winmo phone with GPSGate and it's been rock solid so far.
I can't download either of those. It first didn't show up. I did Market fix. Now, they show up, say they are downloading, but don't. I have tried have the link sent to my email....but it just took to a dead link.....I really want to try this and see it work.....any suggestions....make back up with Titanium and redo the market fix?
Also, I can never get anything to connect....it will say it is paired but not connected.....how do I fix that?

For GPS sharing, it will only say "paired bot not connected". Once the GPS program actually establishes a connection, that may change ...
I too had trouble downloading them from the market. I ended up downloading them to my phone, then sideloading the APK's.
I've attached both of the APK's to this message.
I also suggest you read through this thread... it's all about GPS & tethering:

Everything seems to be working now, but now when I load google navigation it gives me an error message say "Google maps is not yet available in your area" lol... have any idea on what that could be?

Thanks for answering! Great idea about downloading to phone and then to gtablet. I still am having problems with the pairing. But, it does this with my Apple computers. Will say that they are paired but not connected. The security verification comes up I accept on both ends....but still no connection. Have tried using Blluetooth DUN.....anyway....appreciate your response....gave you a thanks for the count! :_)
I have a 2011 Jeep Grand Chreokee. When I first got the phone, it paired fine and I was able to make and receive calls through the BT. I had this setup for about 1-2 days. I then rooted the phone with the stock ROM only removing bloat ware...now I cannot connect via bluetooth back to the car. It seems to connect then disconnect me right away. Ideas?
I know this seems obvious but have you tried unpairing and repairing the phone to the car? Sometimes bluetooth can get fidgety and most of the time it requires you to repair the device. In my experience that generally solves the issues I have had with bluetooth.
Any time I have factory restored my phone I have had to repair it to any Bluetooth devices it was once connected to. Not sure if the Bluetooth address changes for the phone or not on a reset or ROM change, but it seems to be the case. My Infiniti G37s has Bluetooth and I experienced the same issue as you, pair it again and see if that helps.
Thanks for replies...I tried to repair about 6 different times...same result. It seem that the phone and audio connections both connect for about 2 seconds, then the phone disconnects.
Funny, I wanted to try this but kept forgetting. So I just went down to my garage and tried it, and it paired successfully on the first try. Tried making a call via number/phonebook and it all worked.
I'm rooted running Das BAMF 1.3, and paired it with a '11 Sonata Limited.
So I got it working...but without the phone book downloaded. The issue is in fact when it tries to download the phone book. Need to get another phone loaded up with my contacts and do a sync to get phone book loaded to car.

Did you do anything to get it working?
When the device asked me to allow connection to download the phone book, I declined, only then would it pair properly.
I think I figured it out, I have the Infiniti G37, when I rooted & re-paired the Bluetooth, somehow I ignored the question when it popped up asking to "allow" or "deny" the connection.
Yesterday during the whole 4G fiasco, I reflashed & had to re do everything this morning, when I paired my BT, it asked me whether to allow & this time I clicked allow & my BT connects & stays connected fine now.
My question is, is there a way to delete the BT pairing on the phone without having to completely wipe the phone with a reflash?

nevermind, I just found the answer
http://support.vzw.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=39262
just hold down "paired"
I believe the issue is just with the MyGig radio on the Chrysler products. I have a SRT8 Magnum with the MyGig and allowing it to download the address book "Breaks" the B.T. connection. I don't know what the issue is? Perhaps too much information being sent to the MyGig and it "locks up"?
I also have a Ford Focus for a daily driver and allowing it to download the Address Book over the phone has no such issue.

It does it on my aftermarket Kenwood double-din unit, too. I've seen it happen on several Ford units too.

I updated my 430N radio with the latest firmware update and phone book downloaded and BT is working without getting disconnected.
Thanks
Thanks for that info. Although I can't do it as I have the "MyGig" retro-fitted into my 07 SRT. So, if I apply the "official update" I will lose GPS time and a bunch of other things.
But, nice to know it works.

I've been waiting and waiting for ICS to come out, so that I can use bluetooth tethering to my PC at work, like I do with my wifi-only Xoom. Unfortunately, this seems to be disabled. Can someone please confirm this and let me know if there is a way to enable it? I've seen the thread about enabling it on the 4.0.4 leak with the SQLLite hack, but I'm not sure this would work with the new ICS.
Thanks!
Though I have another Bluetooth issue (mentioning it here cause it also lists a driver issue in computer which is a common issue) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931540
I have mentioned therein I was successfully able to establish BT tether (will probably post a screenshot later) but If I recall, I had to right click the device (our phone listed under "Printers & Devices" on Win 7) & then click connect & only then the tether went thru successfully and until then it did not. I hope it makes sense to you. BT Tether is very much part of ICS 4.0.4 stock OTA upgrade (can't say about custom ROM's)
Same Here

My son always tethered to my Atrix 2 with his ipod touch and he also can no longer connect since I updated to stock ICS. I'm rooted and using SQLite Editor, but I see nothing in the settings.db that remotely looks like enabling bluetooth PAN (tethering). Anyone else have a fix?
Can't bluetooth tether anymore
I used to connect my android tablet to my atrix 2 over bluetooth with GB on the atrix 2 and have internet on the tablet. Now with ICS on the atrix 2, I no longer have the internet profile listed under bluetooth when connecting to it from the tablet, and I cannot get internet to my tablet.
It appears that downgrading my OTA ICS is not an option (but I'm still searching), so am I hoping that I can enable this bluetooth ability again. Has anyone found a way to do this?
I am having a similar issue, I just got a nexus 7 and was hoping to bluetooth tether my A2 to it. I don't use bluetooth really at all, but I wanted to use it for this. When I first tried to set it up I could pair my A2 to my N7 but it wouldn't connect. I tried connecting my A2 to my laptop, same thing, it would pair but not connect. However, I could pair, connect, and transfer files between my N7 and my laptop.
I cleared data from bluetooth share and rebooted, no luck.
I cleared data from bluetooth dun and rebooted. At this point I could pair, connect and transfer files with my A2 and laptop, but still couldn't connect with N7.
I downloaded bluetooth file transfer from the market. It said that I could only transfer files to the other device not from it (same thing whether I did it from the A2 or N7). It said that I connected, but when I tried to transfer a file I would get an error.
I downloaded foxfi and pdanet table from the market, couldn't connect or tether with this either.
I did a factory reset, still laptop worked, N7 didn't.
When I go into the bluetooth setting on my A2 or my N7 the only options I have for either are to change name, or unpair.
After each troubleshooting step, I tried to see if my N7 was able to access my A2's data, but it never could.
I have searched extensively and have been unable to find an answer or a solution.
Essentially, I want to tether my A2 to my N7 with bluetooth, They will pair witheachother but they will not connect. Help?
