Xoom Bluetooth Internet Connection

[xier]

Droid X and xoom here as well - once you pair then you need to go into the zoom under bluetooth settings and you will see paired devices -- it should show your DrodX as Paired but not connected -- just click on that it will connect. Then you will see "connected" -- BUT --- I never was able to get the Droid X to say connected - it only says Paired but Tethering works fine.

Give it another shot and let us know.

I have my droid x and xoom, and they discovered each other, but it says paired but not connected, not seeing any more options...anyone know what I may be missing? thanks!

It worked for a little while for me.

@ D-Xer and PP: I've been running Apex for some time and have an up time of 151:11:00 right now. Thats by far the longest up time I have ever had. Too bad its about to be all gone because time to start working on my theme thread once again.

Apex has been the most stable rom that I've used by far.

NOTE: Rooting is NOT required!!

1: on XOOM, go to settings>wireless & networks>tethering and portable hotspot and make sure that "Bluetooth Tethering" is UNCHECKED, this is NOT what we want

2: on XOOM, go to settings>wireless & networks> enable airplane mode

3: on XOOM, go to settings>wireless & networks> enable bluetooth

4: on your android phone, go to settings>wireless & networks (or equivalent)> enable bluetooth

5: Make sure that both devices are discoverable, so that they can see one another, should be in settings>wireless & networks>bluetooth settings

6: on XOOM, go to settings>wireless & networks>bluetooth settings>select your phone in order to pair it with your XOOM

7: a box should pop up on both devices, select Pair on both devices

8: on XOOM, once the pairing is complete (still inside bluetooth settings), select the phone, it should say paired but not connected underneath it

9: The two devices should connect, once connected there should be a wrench next to the connected device, clicking on this will show an option to tether, click this option if it is not automatically enabled

10: TA-DA, if it worked then in the bottom right hand corner of your XOOM should have two bluetooth icons, one should indicated that your bluetooth is turned on and the other should say bluetooth tethered, you are now using your phones internet data plan on your XOOM, aka not counting towards your xoom's data plan

Just confirmed on Droid 1!

Heres how:
-Go to Settings in Wireless Tether for Root Users
-Check "Use Bluetooth"
-Check "Discoverable"
-Start tethering
-Check Bluetooth on your Xoom under "Wireless and Networks" in the settings
-Go into "Bluetooth Settings" on your Xoom under "Wireless and Networks" in the settings
-Scan for devices
-Select "Droid 1" when it appears
-Once connected click the wrench icon for the Droid 1
-Check "Tethering"

Done

This worked fine on my D1

Xoomed in...

On your zoom next to where the Dx is listed should be a wrench icon. Tap it and chose teather in the menu

I did the setup with my Droid X and it's saying tethering use for internet access on the Xoom , I see the Bluetooth icon in the status bar on the Xoom but it's not as bright as the other icons is that ok ?. When you use the Bluetooth for Internet access does it save your data on the Xoom ? . I have 5GB but I'm hard user .

[tp76]

When you use the bluetooth it runs off of your DX Data, not your Xoom's

[Droid-Xer]

BT doesnt use data at all though right?
