This is awesome. Curious, does anyone know if this can still be tracked by Verizon (I have an HTC Thunderbolt)? I know they are cracking down on tethering, so I was wondering if they would still know if you do it via Bluetooth.
[INFO] Tether SGT 10.1 to Phone via Bluetooth
I didn't see this posted on here anywhere so I thought I'd put this out here. I was curious if I could pair my Droid X with my newly purchased tablet via Bluetooth and utilize my phone's 3G data connection. The answer is yes. This may be old news to some, but it wasn't to me. And I am sure there are others out there that don't know this either. Here are the steps to follow:
1. On your tablet make sure the "Bluetooth Tethering" is not checked. I tried this and it didn't work. Go to settings>wireless & networks>tethering and uncheck the box.
2. Enable airplane mode on the tablet.
3. Now go to settings>wireless & networks> enable bluetooth.
4. Now the same for the phone settings>wireless & networks> enable bluetooth.
5. At this point both devices need to be discoverable. This should be inside the wireless and networks>bluetooth settings area on both the tablet and phone.
6. Once both are discoverable you can go to your tablet and select the phone in order to pair the two, settings>wireless & networks>bluetooth settings>
7. You should get a confirmation on both devices...just say OK.
8. At this point on the tablet you should see the phone with a wrench out beside it.
9. Select the wrench and tell it to use the phone as a tether.
That should do it. I hope this helps someone like it did me.
