Why does Bluetooth tethering on my phone not work?
It’s a bug. The JB device fails to register the connection parameters (DNS) for Bluethooth network after connecting to tethered device and uses DNS of default wifi connection to connect, so the request fails with a timeout. Rooted users can fix the issue using a set of commands in terminal, either using ADB or Terminal emulator.
How does tethering work on an Android tablet?
The tablet has Wi-Fi, but no cellular radio; so in order to use the Internet with it when there’s no Wi-Fi hotspot nearby, I have the phone set up for Wi-Fi tethering: it effectively becomes a Wi-Fi hotspot, and the tablet uses that for Internet access. This works perfectly.
How do I set up a Bluetooth tether on my phone?
Once the devices are paired – when it asks you to confirm they’re both showing the same numeric code – you have to set one phone to offer a bluetooth tether, and then on the other press the ‘Use for internet access’ line – with the tick that looks like it means it’s already working.
How can I tell if my phone is tethered to my internet?
It’ll show ‘Connected to device for internet access’ and the tick will stay on. The tether-offering phone will say ‘sharing this phone’s internet connection’ on the tether and hotspot screen.
