Tether your iPhone to android or IOS tablet, using Bluetooth!!!

[prendy35]

I just wanted to let everyone know, I was able to tether my iPhone 6s to my Nexus 7 v1 using Bluetooth. This allowed me to get internet on my nexus 7 WiFi using Bluetooth from my iPhone.

Step 1) On iPhone turn on an set up a Personal hotspot
Step 2) On iPhone turn on Bluetooth, On tablet turn on Bluetooth. Make sure WiFi is disconnected on both so you know it worked.
Step 3) connect tablet to iPhone via Bluetooth.
Step 4) if it is an android device, make sure you click on options on Bluetooth an enable sharing internet access in Bluetooth connection.
Step 5) test internet! iPhone will state that 1 connection is made on hotspot.

This worked for me. I will post a YouTube video of this later so you can see a better longer explanation. I just wanted to get this out to anyone who needs it! its going to help me a lot.

I tested this on iPad air 1 and Nexus 7.

careful, this will incur extra fees for using your phone as a mobile hotspot with many service providers.

I've AT&T and they charge extra for sure. but I jailbreak and have a way around it.

I tried doing this on my little Lenovo tablet (S8-50) and it wants to disable WiFi when I do Bluetooth tethering. I go back in and turn it back on but it disables it after a minute or so. Any ideas? It'll work, but not for very long.
