Internet tethering via bluetooth on rooted (CM5.02) N1? - Nexus One General

I just rooted my N1 with CM 5.02 and I CAN get the USB internet tethering working, but wondered if there is a way to make it work over the bluetooth. I have looked around online and cannot find a definitive way to do it. When I try and search the forum, my browser (on my desktop) freezes up and has to be restarted.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

over wifi...not bluetooth

That link you gave me for the tether works on bluetooth or wifi.
Works very nice, thanks for the link...

It works nicely. It uses Bluetooth PAN, though, rather than Bluetooth DUN. Is there any app out there OTHER than PDAnet ($30!!!) that enables Bluetooth DUN? Or better still, is there some way to get it without an app? Seems like basic functionality.

Do you want to use your phone's internet for your pc? Then yes- it's possible with apps. (called tethering. search for wifi tether or usb tether in market or on xda...)
if you want to use your pc's connection - then probably not.

no i mean i donot have a wifi modem and i have adsl net modem and also with respect to battry problem in hd2 i prefer to use net with prob connection but many of builds did not have the internet pass through option
for this aim i like to know that is it posible to add this option to that kind of build as a for example apk software
I have the same issue,having the Internet Pass-Through function (which uses PC's connection on the phone) of Desire HD builds on the Desire builld would be great.
yap
its easy you can use your pc's wifi and turn it into a access point
and then using it trough the wifi
can't be easier than this
see,you left out the most important part: problem is that not all of the pc's have wifi!!!
There is also USB tethering, although you'll have to check if there's any builds with it working.
I don't bother with it as I use wifi tethering instead.
The program Connectify is working pretty good, to use my netbooks LAN connection as access point. Always use it abroad when in hotels without wifi and only wired internet. Works only with windows7 though.

I really feel the need to help the OP here. I don't have an answer to his question, but I do understand what he's asking for, and other people seem to be answering different things!!!
He want's to use a USB cable (not wifi) to allow his phone to use his PC's internet connection.
Tethering is irrelevant (that's using the phone's internet connection on the PC) and he does not have a wireless router so cannot use wifi on his phone.
In response to the OP, the only thing I've ever seen as a conclusive answer is that this cannot be done (there is no software that currently does it). That was an answer on a website from about 7 months ago though, and I am aware of the option on the Desire HD, so there is obviously a way to do it now.
I hope you find what you're looking for

IN the revolution HD 2.2 mdeejay NAND version - you have this option built in in this rom !!!
i used it - its working.
USB tethering is part of the Froyo OS. The problems you may have are that it does not work correctly with a lot of builds. Most of the HTC builds tend to work though.
Hmmm.... I also have the same problem.
I don't want to use the 3G Data connection for internet because it's expensive so it would be really useful to get internet through usb from a computer.
So far I only saw this option on M-Deejay's Revolution HD rom and for me it was kind of a heavy build. Worked kinda slow so I flashed a different rom which doesn't have the usb internet pass through.
I also tried Connectify. My phone connected to the computer's wireless but the internet didn't work. I tried disabling my firewall, opening ports, and other things but it just doesn't work. I think it has to do with the software not supporting all WiFi cards.
So now I'm having trouble getting on the internet with my phone to download apps. I have to go outside and look for some WiFi networks to do it and that kinda sucks
I think it finally works! I installed the latest Connectify beta version from here:
http://connectify.blogspot.com/2010/11/connectify-211-beta-up-for-testing.html
And it kinda works now! I think it's just a bit slow.

Does connectify work via USB, or is it just wifi?

Yes I have the same issues, but he is working on another build right now. I am sure they are working hard.
You do not need a app for this. Go to Settings<Wireless & Networks<Tethering &portable hotspot<and then select USB tethering or Portable WI-FI hotspot.
I use this ROM and I use the Portable WI-Fi hotspot like all the time.

In that case then I think you either don't have the correct drivers for your HD2 to connect in this way which is a easy fix. Just go to control panel while you have your HD2 connected via USB and with the Tethering on. Then go to device manager and find your HD2 there, you will know it when you see it, then click on it. This will make it drop down then right click on the dropped down device icon and select update drivers and then get from internet.
If this is not the problem open ActiveSynce or WMDC on your computer and uncheck allow USB connections and see if that helps.
For me, it works with my iphone but not working with my Mac Book.
I had the same issue, just yesterday I found a fix the WiFi tether app(wifi tether 3.0-pre11.apk) the older WiFi tether apk files did not work correctly. The on-board WiFi works great. You will know when you get the right file, the icon color changed from green to yellow. I have been testing this out for about an hour now and all is good...
Also I can receive e-mails when I am tethering via the on-board WiFi or tethering app, but I can not send them. Does anybody know why this is. This is the same with all ROMS, so nothing to with the ROM (which is great) ...Any ideas on how to fix this settings issue...Thanks

Xoom tethering

Tether to or from your HTC Thunderbolt? What have you read about it?
Also are you stock or rooted on both devices
Im rooted on the thunderbolt, but not on the xoom. I know i have to do bluetooth tethering, but i dont know how to do that on my xoom or my laptop. I would like to be able to use both at the same time.

ok no problem but why didn't you just google this info... Not trying to be a hard ass but just so you know these forums are helpful but people like to see a little effort made to at least help themselves...
Now with that said what rom are you using on your Thunderbolt since my boy has one and BAMF I believe comes with android tether on it.. If not a quick google search for wifi tether - comes up with this
Now you download and install that to your phone and turn it on and it will act as a hotspot which you then connect your Xoom too.
Now second choice - a quick google search of tablet tethering brought up PDAnet - which is on the market and tells you how to set it up. Now there is a twist with them since bluetooth tethering is tricky and you have to restart your device to get it working after initially connecting and disconnecting.
Ok third choice for you laptop - Download PDAnet from there website for laptops and then download PDANet from Android Market, its different than PDANet Tablet
Hope that all helps and like I said for future reference probably any question you have has been asked already... hit up google first for your answer before posting in here... No disrespect just trying to help
Edit: That version of Wifi tether also uses Bluetooth tethering... but you must turn on bluetooth tether first prior to pairing devices...
i did google it

ok well I hope my answers help you... I have an Evo so its basically the same phone... I have laid out the steps for you too try... Wifi tethering is quite easy... If I may ask I know sometimes you search the wrong thing and its frustrating but what did you enter to find out how to tether you phone to your Xoom...
http://tinyurl.com/3br93db - check out the link and the very first result
Good luck
My laptop will connect to the phone, but the wifi xoom wont find it. Something to do with the xoom wont reconize an ad hoc network? But the link you posted for the android tethering worked. Thanks

Tethering to the Xoom on an ad-hoc requires you to root and then replace some system files on the Xoom.
I have never had a problem connecting to my Thunderbolt (CM7, stock kernel) with my Xoom over WiFi, rooted or when it was stock. If you have CM7 just turn on tethering in the CM settings menu and you're good to go, if not, then this info is probably useless.

Bluetooth PAN Possible?

I searched quite a bit and it seems that there is still no option of connecting the Vogue to the internet through Bluetooth PAN and PC's internet connection. Can anyone confirm that PAN is still not possible with the Vogue.
Thanks

I set up a working pan a couple of years ago. The problem is that the framework doesn't recognize pan as a valid internet connection, so the connection checks for browser, market, etc. fail. The only way I know it was working is that Google maps worked. Go figure...
that problem may not exist in the cm builds. I have no clue what build I was using when I tried it.
Thanks, I'll have to look in to that.
so it doesn't seem to work.
I'd love a solution to this problem too.
Right now, I can't connect to the internet with my Vogue because it is unactivated. I've been trying to get a Bluetooth PAN to work for the past year or so, but I've given up. It's just too old to be worth it!

USB tethering?

Looking for a way to USB tether my Iconia tablet through my android phone..
before anyone gives me the "just use wifi" speech.. I cant due to where I work.. absolutely ZERO wifi allowed.. they have wifi sniffers. 3G is fine.. sooo need a way to tether via USB.
Both my devices are rooted.
I would love this as well. Could always use bluetooth dun though right?
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
nope.. BT freq's are monitored too.. can really only use USB.
I just can't understand why this is such an obstacle.. figure something like this would be easy to do.
Very interested in finding a way to do this as well.
I haven't test it, but in the Thor ROM 14.2 there is under "Tethering & Mobil Hotspot" > USB-Tethering. Maybe you try that ROM.
Tried this with my DROIDX and the built in 3G hotspot app which has a USB tethering option. No go.
Pdanet is my usb tetherer of choice. Right now I don't think it's supported but they may get that together and it seems something more feasible as android becomes a legit OS.
pda-net
Search the market for this app.its what your looking for and I can confirm it does work and works well.there is a thread about it on here somewhere.
Out curiosity why not allowed to use wifi or Bluetooth.

Maybe some help here...

I'm assuming you read this thread:
[Q] USB Tethering between A500 and Android phone
which leads to your quoted link. In that thread he specifically mentions the kernel which worked (Only thing needed (tested with 2.3 version of this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...hp?t=1170319):)
Sorry if you've already seen that and still no luck...
KICK ASS!! that kernel worked!!
I'm in airplane mode and able to surf the internet. only thing im seeing is that the box will pop up saying that there is no internet connection, but I just hit OK and it goes to whatever page I typed in.
Thanks again..

Glad that worked... I may be trying the same thing very soon.
I wish PDAnet would soften up and just do stuff for root. Their iphone app is only available to jailbreakers so you'd they wouldn't be so up tight.
Well after a few days of using tether this way.. Ive figured out that most apps wont recognize USB tethering.. I cant get Google Talk to sign in. Google Market seams to work fine though. Seems like some things will tell you that there is no internet connection but still work.. some just wont.
