what app are you folks using for bluetooth tethering?
pdanet seems like the most often searched for. just curious if others are using a different one?
thanks
The wifi tether app that verizon and at&t just blocked for devices on their networks has a bluetooth option that I have gotten to work. Then I found that my phone does not require an app or even root to bluetooth tether. It just works if setup from the stock wireless network settings.
I have run into a new and annoying problem. I have two phones. The first is a stock drod x2 the other a blackberry bold.
My work requires I carry the blackberry and they pay for tethering for my phone. I want to use bluetooth tethering to use my blackberries data on my p6210.
I setup the bluetooth and paired the blackberry to the p6210. When I do this the icon shows the wrench icon, when I open this no profiles are listed.
I verified all the profiles are checked and enabled on the blackberry.
So I grabbed my dx2 and paired the two, now when I open the wrench on the dx2 it shows "Internet Access" now I don't pay for tethering on my personal phone so I did not connect.
Anyone know why there isn't a DUN profile showing up on my p6210 even though it's enabled on the blackberry.

It's not available with the stock firmware. I don't know currently if it can be made available with kernel, firmware or application changes (but if you read the ad-hoc thread, I think I remember something about BT tethering being mentioned.)

Hmmmm, that does not make sense. I don't not want use wifi to tether. The wifi was actually shut off while testing. Just the bluetooth. Like I was saying the dx2 was able to work right and the dun profile was working properly.
This sort of limited functionality is stunning. Android should be the open connected platform but we have device missing simple options that even palm and old windows mobile 5 had.
We are missing both directions of Bluetooth and usb networking plus adhoc wireless. This is truly sad.

Oh, I misunderstood... You want to use your BB DUN from your tablet via BT? I'm not even sure if I have anything with a DUN profile to test with...

GT7p6210 support Bluetooth tethering, but only to several type of Android phones, not to others. That's why you did not see the DUN profile on the p6210for the blackberry. It does not work on the WM phone either.
GT7p6210 is my first Andoid device, so disspointed.
Is there a file we can change to help the p6210 recognize more bluetooth tether devices Profiles?
running ics. i went ahead and disabled TetheringProvision.apk. i am able to turn on wifi hotspot through Widgetsoid. The signal is broadcasted but my pc is unable to connect. i have tried multiple other apps such as foxfi or pdanet+ but they also broadcast and i cannot connect. i have a rooted phone and can go ahead and use wifi tether but i would love to use the built in t mobile hotspot app through widgetsoid's wifi widget.
also, i am able to usb tether. BUT I WANT WIFI HOTSPOT!
NVM. ended up using http://forums.techguy.org/networking/1001732-solved-laptop-will-not-connect.html and just did some security key changing...and it worked!
I bought two Xperia C devices, with the original firmware there was no "Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot Settings" under "Tethering & Portable Hotspots" menu. I updated one of them to the last firmware 16.0.B.2.6 but still there's no "Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot Settings".
As you know if you dont access to the Wi-Fi hotsport setting you cannot change the define the Wi-Fi key and the wi-fi hotspot is totally unworkable.
Meanwhile the wi-fi hotspot is working well, when the data is on, you can turn it on and it's also been found by other devices like laptops or mobiles but as you dont have a wi-fi key you cannot use it.
First a question, is there any advantage to USB tether versus wi-fi tethering? For example better connection?
Second I want to have an icon on my home page that I can press and it will connect to USB tethering, not wi-fi tethering (that I can do). Any suggestions?
I've tried Tasker and it says that this option is not available. I've also tried many of the tether apps and widgets and can't find one that works.
I'm connecting to a Parrot Asteroid Smart and have it working with an auto connect to wi-fi tethering.
