I know that the CM 6.1 supports the USB Keyboard/mouse, but what are the odds of getting the Bluetooth DUN tethering support ported over from the Archos 101 and 70 devices? Would love to hear some insight from the devs about the feasibility of having such a feature. I would love to leave my EVO tethered to the GTab over Bluetooth instead of Wifi. It would be a huge battery saver when I'm away from home/office wifi connection.
Also, USB Keyboard/mouse as a part of TnT? Possible? Worth it? Not worth it?
I second the above. BT stays on 24/7 on my phone, it would be much easier, and ideally we could eventually come up with some sort of on-demand script or app that keeps the BT DUN profile active, without battery drain on the cell.
With this in place, the gTab could connect and disconnect to the cell phone as needed, just like DUN should be. Best case scenario is to not even have to do anything on the phone, just enable BT on the gTab (or leave enabled as desired) and do some activity that accesses the internet. This would trigger a BT DUN connection to the phone, which disconnects after a certain period of inactivity (or manually, as desired).
If I knew a damn thing about how to program, this is what I would be trying to create.
That said, I'm a willing guinea pig.
Really? No one else is interested in this?
I know one of you guys out there has a rooted phone with wireless tether. I'm just starting down the root road. I have a Dinc, but it's been factory since I got it... and will be until the weekend, the gTab has whetted my whistle for root freedom.
What happens when you try to pair your gTab with your phone while it's got BT Tether activated? Any BT DUN profile goodness?

I'll try it out and let you know.
Bluetooth Tethering a High Wish List Item
For me, getting the tablet to tether via bluetooth to my Blackberry Tour would be a high priority wish list item. I am completely in the dark with this stuff but I can tether my PC to my Blackberry so I should in theory be able to tether and use the network connection. I realize that most folks here probably have an Android-base smartphone, but my company makes me carry around their smartphone (and has the decency to pay for unlimited data plan). If I could get the tablet to work from the BB's network connection I would be almost complete on my wish list. I have gotten to the point of paring the two devices (but can't seem to get them to connect). I am using tnt lite 2.02 and my 9630 device has v 4.7.1.40 with 3G, CDMA connections.
Indeed, the hope would be that the BT stack within the gTab can take advantage of BT Dial up networking or Personal area networking profiles. Then we would be good to go. If not now, hopefully we can find a way to get that to work.
Really? No one care about Bluetooth Tether on this device?
You don't have to ask me twice Oops, you did.
I am extremely interested in a Bluetooth tethering solution for the gtab. It's the only way I will be able to get a 3G connection from my phone that won't be policed at work (non-corporate wifi hotspots are monitored).
I have a Nexus One Adnroid phone (running Froyo 2.2.1). I use the Wifi hotspot feature when I want hop online with my G-Tab (my work monitors wifi, as well but I only turn it on as I need it.) I can't speak for BlackBerry phones but any "rooted" Android phone should be able to act as a 3G/4G hotspot.
Wifi tethering should be faster, but USB tethering and keyboard & mouse support are needed and should work in the first place. (keyboard and mouse support at least should).
Need a program like http://android.gval.biz/ or ibluever for iphone/itouch then the g tablet would be my laptop replacement for traveling .

Are you looking for DUN over BT? If so, have you tried this:

I believe PDAnet requires client windows/mac software, and they haven't written client Android software.
I haven't seen anyone port the Archos home-grown BT tether to any other brand. BT tether isn't part of Android (I'm betting the cellcos in OHA demanded it not be built).
My wife has Joikuspot on her phone, so she wifi tethers on the G-tab.
I have unlimited bluetooth data, so I bought an Archos.

You are right PDANet wont work as no client for Android, but from my experience listed above blackberry refusing connections.... or may be GTab just doesn't opening connection properly.
When I check GTable BT device property from Blackberry side it can do only:
Handsfree Audio Gateway
Headset Audio Gateway
Object Push
AV Remote Control Target
.... there is no DUN in the list, so I suspect it just not supported by BT stack on device.... but also I have in same my laptop listed as well which doesnt have DUN in its services
I took a 12 hour road trip last week and I had just finished installing my setup to dock and un-dock my Galaxy Tab 7" into my dash for MP3's and GPS nav, now I only have a 1GB plan so I wanted to use my phone's internet for the drive however I could not get the tablet to connect, eventually I figured out that it was related to bluetooth & wifi tether at once, whichever one I try to connect 2nd won't work, so if the phone is connected to my headunit for hands free then I can't connect to wifi tether and if I have the tablet connected to tether first the bluetooth won't connect, does anyone know what would cause that and if there's a way to fix it? I am used the stock ROM rooted.
Hi,
During PC LAN parties with my friends, my Wireless card lags and skips (its a pretty old wifi card). I usb tether a lot and it runs really fast, but it uses a lot of data.
What I want to do is use my phone as a wifi reciever. I thought I could just usb tether to my pc, but instead of using 4g, connect my phone to wifi and use that, but when ever I usb tether, it makes me turn off wifi.
Is there any way I can do this? Preferably without using something like PDA net, but if thats my only option, ill use it.
I am using the latest version of "Clean Rom" and I am rooted running 4.3
Hi all.
I have just bought a new TomTom, which requires bluetooth tethering to be on so it can connect to the internet through the phone.
However whenever BT is turned on tethering is not automatically switched on as well, and it is a pain to have to go into the settings menu every time I get into my car.
Is there a way to automatically enable tethering when BT pairs with a certain device?
I am currently use profile scheduler to manage my profiles which on the whole is ace but unfortunately this cannot deal with tethering. As I currently have all my profiles setup on PS I would prefer not to need to use Tasker if possible.
Any help most appreciated

Wife's new unit is behaving poorly on wifi tethering to her Verizon (bootloader locked) non-rooted LGV10. Even with VPN, VZ is able to throttle the hotspot to 600kb/s. Short of rooting her phone or replacing it with an unlocked version, I'm hoping to sidestep the tethering limit with BT. I suspect the BT tethering doesn't have those limits since the original stock Toyota Entune head unit used it to pull data for the native apps (including the no-longer-supported Pandora app).
I'm guessing given the ass-backwards way the BT phone dialer and OBD pairing is performed, it's probably asking too much. But if anyone knows of a hack to add it, I'd be grateful...
