Soooo BT Tethering or what? (sprint)

Ive done my searching and to be honest I have not seen a clear thread that answers this.... But can the Sprint TP2 tether over BT? More specifically can it do PAN? DUN I think may work but I am PAN I am certain of. I am willing to try both.

EDIT: Forgot to mention Im using the MightyROM and have tried the DUN reg edit that was on XDA and I didnt see anything really change.

Re: Soooo BT Tethering or what? (sprint)

bluetooth tethering is slow. Why would you want that method?

Re: Soooo BT Tethering or what? (sprint)

I have assumed that there is no BT tethering on the TP2 due to the non-standard BT stack.

Might be a good idea to just answer the quesiton posed. As I don't find Bluetooth tethering any slower than USB tethering. But my BT hardware isn't old either so that might play a role...

BT tethering does work and is not slow and also takes less from your battery than wi-fi. Start BT networking manager and share internet connection, works for me.

I used bluetooth PAN for tethering and it works..the speed is ok but it is less reliable then wifi and obviously short range.

Re: Soooo BT Tethering or what? (sprint)

I bought an Archos 5 IT w/ Android and it wouldnt recognize ad-hoc. I dont actually need BT anymore. After around 3 hours or monkeying around with it I managed to convince it to use my phones adhoc network anyway.

Re: Soooo BT Tethering or what? (sprint)

In case anyone should care, I also recently got an Archos 5 IT, and with some fiddling (mostly on the TP2) it can be set up to tether over BT DUN with the Sprint TP2.

Re: Soooo BT Tethering or what? (sprint)

i havent used bluetooth tethering on my tp2 but i used it alot on my mogul. i used a HP bt450 bluetooth adapter for my laptop. i also used that adapter with my hp all in one printer. it allowed me to bluetooth a pic to the printer and itd instantly print it. when i used bluetooth tethering with that adapter, it was nowhere close to slow, and only cost me 20 bucks
