I have a Bluetooth tether enabled Android phone and Android Tablet.
Does anyone know what app (widget) can specifically connect the tablet to the Phone's bluetooth tether? one click?
without going into the settings?
Try WiFi Manager. There are different set of widgets. You can ask google too.
Took a look at Wifi Manager on the play store, the description does not mention anything about Bluetooth.

Doesn't the device connect automagically when you switch bt on? I only have to pair my devices once and the connect upon turning bt on.
No, Bluetooth tethering doesn't automatically connect.
It wouldn't make sense to.
What if WiFi is already connected?
What if your bt headphone is always supposed to be connected but you don't always need Bluetooth tethering?
In any case, I solved the problem by using Tasker annd secure settings.
It will automatically connect to the cell phone's bluetooth tether when I launch the web browser or youtube or gmail if wifi is not connected.
Gotta love android. You can make your own solutions!

Some more information would helpful. What is it you want to do via Bluetooth? Share content between devices (e.g. music, videos, contacts etc)? Share the mobile data connection for Internet access where WiFi isn't available? Pairing devices on its own doesn't automatically 'connect' them as such, you need to tell them to do something .
Share the mobile data connection for Internet access where WiFi isn't available.
Unpair them, and then turn on wireless tether. It should ask permission to turn on bluetooth and make discoverable. Then on the transformer, search for devices. It should see the phone. Pair them. Then under paired devices on the transformer, it should show the phone with a little wrench next to it. Click the wrench and there will be the option for bluetooth tethering.
In that case I'm not sure that this is available over Bluetooth. You might however be able to use WiFi tethering, I'm not sure. I'm not quite up to scratch with everything that Cyanogenmod offers. Check under 'Settings' > 'Wireless and network' > 'Tethering' (if available) and see what there is. It might be called WiFi tethering or Mobile AP or something of that ilk. If not then perhaps you could ask over at the Cyanogenmod forums, or wait for someone else here to come up with a better answer .
[EDIT]: @lordgodgeneral: Hmm, interesting. I'll have to check this one out myself and see what I can do with it. I guess there was no need to wait for an answer after all .
Was able to do it through pdanet table beta but still can't do it with wireless thether app.
thanks for the help.

Thanks finally works, had to keep trying. Way better than pdanet that only the browser worked.

Is it true that TF101 can only connect wirelessly to the inter via bluetooth tethering? that might be a problem because my XPERIA X10 2.3 does not have an option for Bluetooth tethering but for wifi and usb tethering

No, that is not true. You can connect through wifi. I do it every day.
I am using ARHD ROM (with Bricked Kernel).
My car can access and read out RSS threads and has a lot of interactive media functions, including being able access the internet via my bluetooth enabled phone. But I can't seem to get it to work fully, and really don't know if it is a ROM / Kernel / Phone issue or a car issue. I just don't know enough about the various bluetooth protocols etc, and as much as I research it, I keep going around in circes.
The car will connect to the phone and work fine as a bluetooth headset for telephone calls. It will also display the caller picture without issue and will access and read out my emails (using stock sense Mail client) and SMS messages. It also seems to connect to audio OK (although I never use it as it has a USB port that will accept a pop drive, so all my music is on the dashboard).
But the internet connection doesn't seem to work. I have looked into this and can't work out if it is a PAN or DUN profile issue. Soemtimes I can get the phone to show an internet connection being available to the car, sometimes it doesn't depending on which ROM I use and I can't seem to get any to work regardless.
Looking on the website, it claims the following:
How can I configure my mobile device for internet or BMW TeleServices usage?
In the operating manual of your mobile device you will find instructions on configuring “Access Point Name (APN)”; other names for this may be “Internet Settings”, “Modem Settings” or “Tethering Settings”. The required settings are available from your service provider. Please note that most Sony Ericsson mobile devices only recognise the first entry in the APN list, so it is recommended that all other APN configurations be deleted.
Can somebody please help me with this. I really am baffled as to how to get this to work.

It has been a year or 2 since I got bluetooth networking going. Today I tried to get my phone to connect to my windows 7 desktop and.... it couldn't even connect sadly enough. Anyways this is from memory so it may or may not be correct. I don't like posting incorrect stuff because you never know who will read/flame.
1. pair your phone to the other device
2. connect via bluetooth your phone to the other device
3. I used the app in the link below to turn on bluetooth tether. Your kernel needs to support this feature. Just a note, there are 2 apps off the link. One is wifi only, the other does bluetooth and wifi. Assuming you get this app, turn on bluetooth tether. I don't know if you should turn tether on then connect bluetooth. Maybe it doesn't matter.
4. This step I don't quite understand. The bluetooth tether should "offer" a network service to the remote device. The remote device in turn must recognize the service and use it. DHCP is the easiest to auto configure everything. If you need a name server, use 8.8.8.8 since that is a public dns server by our google overlords.

Anyone know if it's possible to tether either via usb or bluetooth with the p900?
I just want a network connection between the two to use for ssh/telnet with Juice ssh and remote keyboard.
I can't use hotspot as I need be able to connect to the internet over my macbook's wifi. Public networks usually don't allow 2 devices to talk to each other so it doesn't work over wifi.
Ignore.
For anyone that has this issue on a Macbook you need to go into networks and makes sure that the Bluetooth PAN connects. It doesn't happen automatically as it does for my other android devices
The Note Pro is then accessible at 192.168.44.1
Actually I just connected to my phone as the bluetooth was on. So still a question is the P900 capable of bluetooth networking?
I tried the Bluetooth PAN app on the app store and it complains that the executable file /system/bin/pand is missing. Does anyone know of a way to add this in?
In case anyone else needs this USB tethering works fine using Valera1978's port of CyanogenMod 12.1.
Hi, I have internet connection on my iPhone, but I aways need turn on hotspot on iphone everytime I enter in car because hotspot only is powered on for some time..
So I would like find way to do it automatically.
I think best way is use some app to automate it..
Iphone accept tether via bluetooth. And anyway bluetooth connect automatically. Best yet, who request internet is client, so, android request internet.
I would use bellow logic, if bluetooth device x is connected then request bluetooth pan (tethering). But I not found any way it works. Somebody k own exactly how to do it?
Hi,
First, I would Iike to thank you for the creation of this forum and the helpful organisation of it.
Now my two small issues:
I've a Nexus 7 2013 in my car's dashboard. I've connected my phone (for tethering and Make phone calls via tablet) to it via Bluetooth.
Now I've a backup camera that connects via Wi-Fi to my tablet. The problem here is that the camera is not connected to Internet, so my Wi-Fi connection keeps dropping as android don't like to keep connected to connections without internet. Without root, is there any way to solve this? Android asks me if I want to keep connected to this Wi-Fi, even without internet, which I confirm and tick the box to don't ask again, but it keeps asking.
When I manage to connect to Wi-Fi, for some reason I loose Internet connection via Bluetooth, as android seems to give preference to the backup camera Wi-Fi. Is there any way to force the Internet connection via Bluetooth only?
Thank you so much
Andre
