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.

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

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.

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.

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.

ur BT chip or dongle must not be 2.0 or 2.1 compliant

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 :cool:

This app works great for BT tethering:
