Re: No Bluetooth PAN tethering?
I have no great difficulty tethering over Bluetooth on my Sprint TP2. The main annoyance is that I have to make sure the EVDO connection is active (e.g., by checking for new email) right before entering the Internet Sharing app.
When I first got the TP2, I foolishly installed that ICS replacement advertised in this forum. Wrong move! That is only for the other carriers, who have goofed around with Internet sharing in order to try to catch tetherers. (I had to hard-reset to get rid of that garbage.) With Sprint, all that's required to tether is the usual Internet Sharing Fix, just like on the Touch Pro (and the Mogul if I recall correctly), that jiggles a few Registry entries.
But the TP2 provides an extra convenience over the TP. On the TP, I would have to start Internet Sharing on the phone, then separately make a Bluetooth connection on the laptop computer. On the TP2, I start Internet Sharing over Bluetooth; the phone asks which laptop I want to offer this service to; I choose the laptop; and the TP2 establishes the connection.
