Soooo BT Tethering or what? (sprint)

[dalastone]

I've never gotten my bluetooth tethering to work on my tp2 it wrorked great on my diamond though I gave up trying on my tp2.

Bluetooth tethering works OK for me, but the connection drops every few minutes; so I've switched to WiFi tethering (hotspot generation).

It works perfectly; I'm using it to post this. I can't recall exactly how I set it up, but I posted about it in one of the tethering threads a long time ago. On the phone I just go to start -> tools, internet sharing, select Bluetooth PAN, hit connect, select my netbook, and everything starts up and works.

Here is a link

Yes, I managed to get the TP2 to tether to an Archos 5 Internet Tablet via bluetooth -- it's not one-click easy, but seems to be pretty good so far.

The bluetooth internet sharing is actually quite genius. It allows you to connect your computer to the internet if maybe perhaps you didnt have a usb cable because your dog likes to chew on things hes not s'posed 2 but only wen ur not home even tho uve only been gone for like 5 mins...newayz what r the chances of that right? I found that the best method of accomplishing this feat is to......search of course....and also follow the directions in the link above very closely 1-4...then on your handset make sure it is discoverable...on your computer make sure it is discoverable, setup a new bluetooth device...then for me this lil icon pops up sayin something-modem-sumthin...ue this icon to connect and u should be gud 2 go...on my phones bluetooth settings it says sumthing bout dial up networking...its not superduper fast but i gotta say it definately gets the job done wen u need it...c if that helps any...

Simply pair your phone to the PC and enable using the phone as a modem in the profiles. Then, when you select which connection to use when connecting with the PC, select the bluetooth DUN connection. Rename it to whatever you like.

FYI, if you use bluetooth instead of wifi, you should probably have a tethering plan (if your carrier requires it) as, unlike wifi sharing, the phone tells the carrier it is tethered.

This is all from recollection, as I no longer use bluetooth to tether. I used to use it exclusively, but wifi is easier, faster, and cheaper (on Verizon).
