Bluetooth tethering

[d33]

I'm trying to get my Pipo M8HD tablet (RR 1.3) to access the internet via my phone. I'm currently typing this on a laptop tether to the phone so I know all is well and that it should work.

I have turned on Bluetooth, paired with my phone and then ticked the box "Internet Access".

All appears okay on both the phone and the tablet. The phone is showing 2 connections (Pipo + Laptop) and the Pipo has a Blue Icon in the top right hand notification area.

For all this I can't get any internet access on the Pipo.

Anything obvious I'm missing?

I have got the same problem

here log with adb

E/BTIF_PAN( 1122): btif_pan: ## ERROR : btpan_tap_open(L434): can not bring up tap interface:bt-pan##

I have resolved this by changing the MAC adress in a file

This address is set by boot.img in file init.rk30board.rc

# permissions for bluetooth.
mkdir /data/misc/bluetoothd 0775 bluetooth bluetooth
setprop ro.bt.bdaddr_path "/data/misc/bluetoothd/bt_addr"
chown bluetooth bluetooth ro.bt.bdaddr_path

So I change this address in the file /data/misc/bluetoothd/bt_addr

From 45:25:73:48:b1:85 to 00:25:73:48:b1:85 : and for me it's OK

Ok. My Address was set to 0D:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx in the file. I'm trying 00:xx etc but can't seem to persuade ES3 Explorer to edit. I've got root explorer on and / set to R/W but it still won't play

I checked the code (Git Hub) and I can see the problem is created by trying to assign the MAC address in "ioctl(sk, SIOCSIFHWADDR,(caddr_t)&ifr)" but I can't see why without debug on.

Strange i used es explorer or Root explorer without any problem

I changed to 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx but still no internet.



If you delete bt_addr then one gets auto-generated and it STILL doesn't work

Can you make an adb logcat to see if it is the same problem?

I can't install stuff on this laptop (works), so it'll have to wait until the weekend. Unless there is a way to get diagnostics directly on the tablet?

I use this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...d=com.bluexvpn to get internet on my tablet via bluetooth tethering.
It works, but I need to load tun.ko module at every boot: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....tun.installer

Eh ! Yes good point

I totally forget this point because I always add this in my ROM.

The ROM M8HD 1.3 by Riley, add the tun module but there are not loaded in the boot img !

So you need a init.d file to load them at boot like I said here in the finless rom for M9 Pro

Sorry Darrellr !

[d33]

Now this is strange. I just tried to insmod and it already exists!

Lsmod confirms tun loaded

Install blue VPN and .... Nothing aaaarrrrggghh

Maybe we need to find a different tun.ko file. It worked in earlier ROMs.

I'm using your last one on M8HD v1.3 and it's working well

just load also the file tcp_veno.ko , don't know if it really matters !
