Nook Color Bluetooth Tether (v. 1.1) Разработано Earl Magnus |
This is a homepage widget that will tether a Nook Color running CM7 to a mobile phone using the Bluetooth Personal Area Network (PAN) profile. It was written for the Nook Color, but may run on other tablets with Busybox/Bluez pand. The greatest advantage of Bluetooth PAN tethering vs WiFi is power consumption -- Bluetooth consumes far less.
The widget will also require superuser access on the Nook and the mobile phone must be able to tether and already paired with the Nook -- that usually involves an Internet connection sharing application and an appropriate rate plan. Note that though almost all Android applications that require network access function correctly, some applications -- mostly Google Applications -- do not. Talk, for example, does not work nor does the Market application. The browser will complain that network access is not available and work anyway. This is because Bluetooth PAN is not properly supported in Android at this time.
Use:
1. Add the widget to your home screen.
2. Tap the widget to connect to the phone.
3. Once connected, tap again to disconnect.
An LED graphic will show yellow in the widget during connection setup. If the connection is successful, it will show green. If the connection was not successful or the connection is severed, the LED graphic will be off/gray.
There is an application -- it's only function is to report the name and Bluetooth address of the paired device that will be used for tethering.

[2011-06-26] Matt: Works great! Really simple. I've had android-wifi-tether installed on my rooted Droid for a while; was able to connect via bluetooth between the phone and my rooted NC, but always was "paired but not connected." Not sure if this was the specific fix, but using the widget on my Nook's end worked! |

[2011-06-21] the 6/22/2011 Great App "on demand would be very nice! Great App "on demand would be very nice! I have iPhone 4 and my nook color connected to it with Bluetooth, sometimes it takes a few tries to get the widget activated. just remember some apps don't like Bluetooth connection and want WIFI connection to get online! |

[2011-06-17] Eldon: Great app! Tried everything to get my Nook Color running CM7 to tether with my iPhone 3GS without success. Found this app and it instantly worked. Now get Internet access on my Nook Color even when I'm away from WiFi. Happy camper! Was going to try getting ad-hoc wifi working, but don't have to now. Best of all, no cost to do this and my iPhone plan allows tethering. |

[2011-05-29] Mark: Excellent! A little slow at times -but I guess that is the limitation of bluetooth. |
|
[2011-05-28] Van: ...that would be why it didn't work on following attempts. Thanks! |
|
[2011-05-27] Xenomorph: Works great! Nook Color running N87. iPhone 3GS running iOS4.3.3 and MyWi 4.61.1. Both devices see each other, pair up, and the connection is shared. |
