Hey there.
I've been using a RPi as mediacenter connected to the internet over ethernet, but now I'd like to use an Samsung Galaxy Android phone running USB internet sharing for connecting.
I'm using RaspBMC in it's latest version; but I can't seem to find a way to connect to the internet using USB.
When connected via ethernet I have full control and can connect via SMB, SSH and FTP with no problem; but it seems that the RPi can't see the USB shared internet.
Have you tried the easy connect addon?

Question: why not just get a cheap, tiny wifi dongle and use the wifi hotspot on the phone to share the connection that way? Seems much easier...the dongle I use is this one:
Edimax EW-7811UN Wireless N 150Mbps USB Nano Adapter 802.11b/g/n abgn with EZmax
It's a plug-and-play item fully compatible with the Pi (meaning, you don't need to configure anything, it just works).

Because I already had the phone. But if this won't work I'll buy a wifi dongle and skip the phone. I just need to connect to the in-house network

I want to connect to a tv with wlan (tvsideview from sony). The connection works, but i can get no programinfo, which is loaded via internet. When i connect to the tv with wlan, mobile data is disabled. The tv has no connection to the internet.
Is there a solution for this?

Make the TV connect to the phone.
Tried posting this question to MTCD-discussion folder but the system didn't let me (moderators please move it there if you consider)
Has anybody managed to get the internet on the android auto (in my case a MTCD) through bluetooth tether (maybe with an app?) Reason why I want to do this, is because I want it to happen automatically, but iOS (as my phone is Iphone) is broadcasting the personal hotspot SSID only for a limited time. This means every time I get in the car I have to stop and restart personal hotspot.
On my Joying MTCD-device there is no option in the WIFI-menu of "connect to network even if SSID not broadcasted", and no option in the bluetooth menu for bluetooth tethering.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
Tethering over Bluetooth is not possible with these units as far as I know.
But try the following:
1. From the iPhone turn your Personal Hotspot off.
2. From your car's Android find your iPhone's hotspot and make it forget it.
3. Now go to the bottom of the list, choose "Add Network" and type your iPhone's SSID and passcode manually.
4. Hit Connect and turn on your Personal Hotspot.
Now the car unit thinks that this is a hotspot with a hidden SSID, so it will not look for a broadcast.

Hi! Tried this, doesn't work! It still connects only after i turn the hotspot on (when ssid is broadcasted)...
Yes, I just tried this with my iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 9.3.3. It looks like iPhone's Personal Hotspot doens't just stop broadcasting the SSID after a while. It turns off the hotspot completely! I tried to connect to it with my PC the way I would connect to a hidden network - no luck either. So there is nothing that can be done, because the problem is the iPhone.
The approach I described above works for hidden networks, but obviously it cannot work for non-exiting ones.

Thanks for your reply, CVT! Must be this problem, indeed. I assumed that it is still on, as actually the togglebutton is still on, but it seems I was wrong.
HTC One M7 CM13.0 (no sim/data) running Android Auto, connected to Honda Accord 2016 all times - soon as car starts android auto starts, using Bluetooth Tether Manager app to auto connect to Iphone hotspot
Iphone 6S IOS10 Beta3 (data) bluetooth hotspot.
Car starts, turns on bluetooth on android phone, android auto starts, then tether app connects to my iphones bluetooth tether.
The bluetooth tether manager app says not connected, but the bluetooth in the menu shows connected to my iphone.
I think this is what you are trying to do as well. If you can bluetooth tether to your iphone, this might work with your unit.
Does simply plugging an iPhone into one of the usbs for tethering Work?.
It does not

Googling shows mixed results over whether this will be possible.
When my phone connects to the car Bluetooth, can mobile hotspot also turn on so my car sat nav can use the phone data?
Currently I have to turn it on manually each time.
Thanks

I do it with secure setting plugin... but you need to be rooted.
Regards,
Sorry for a possibly dumb question, I am new to android. Does Tasker provide additional functionality when rooted?

Can be done:
State: BT near (select BT from Nav device) -> task wifi set off, wait 2 seconds, wifi tether set on.
On android 6 I used secure settings for also switching bluetooth tether on. This doesn't work for me in android 7.0.
I now use the app Blue Car tethering. This checks for a bluetooth network and then forces bluetooth tethering.
This is unrooted for both phones.
From what I gather, YMMV depending on the phone, head unit, or even carrier. This works to turn on the hotspot and re-enable wifi/turn off hotspot when the bluetooth connection drops for my current setup (rooted Honor 6X/Android 6, Cricket Wireless, Android 4.4 head unit):
Profile state=BT Connected CAR KIT,*
Action=WiFi Tether Set On
Exit=WiFi Set On
I don't need secure settings for that to work on my Honor 6X, but I have two other phones that profile doesn't work on, so you might have to play around to get something that works for your particular setup
I've got it working, thanks for the help folks

Would you mind sharing how? It would be very useful to me. Thanks :good:
Sure, create a new profile based on State
In the filter type 'BT'
Then click BT Connected
Then select or type the exact name of the bluetooth connection of your car
Then create a new task for Tether On (instead of trying to find the options, I find it much easier to search)
Job done, works every time for me. As tether automatically turns off itself after xx minutes of not being used, I didn't bother setting an exit task to turn it back off.
Is this related to Bluetooth tether or wifi mobile hotspot?
I'm looking for an automated solution for my car android 2din device.
Hi there!
Does anyone succeed in having two phones working with AA ? One stays connected permanently to AA, the second one is connected to BT for calls and texting.
My experience is that even if both are correctly connected when they are alone, once together all is a mess. As soon as the second phone gets connected to AA, the first one gets deconnected from BT.
I tried to break BT connection within the second phone. It gets connected anyway to AA, but this didn't solve the issue. The first one was ejected from BT,stating that another device was already BT connected (even if BT is broken).
Any help ? BT Mac address modification on the first phone to match second phone ?
Thanks in advance !
i been toying with the idea to do this.
sorry i just need to ask, even you disable auto connect Bluetooth in AA setting?

Haven't tried yet but surely a good idea ... On my way to test !
When you say that you've been toying, do you mean you get it to work or not ?
My purpose is to use a Nexus 7 2013 (not LTE version) as a permanent device connected to AA, and use my phone connected to BT, thus to avoid plugging/unplugging ...
No joy ... Using BT or not has no effect ... Phone is deconnected when tablet is connected to AA...

Deleting pairing has no impact. I even succeeded in breaking BT to avoid AA to wake it up but no joy either.
Whenever AA gets connected to the phone (via USB), any other BT connection is rejected stating that another device is already connected ...
Spoofing BT Mac address of soon to be BT-connected phone with the one of AA-connected phone might be a solution ? But not enough geek to try this one...
Seems strange nobody came across this idea ... please help if you did !
I worked it out, permanently disabling the Bluetooth using root. I described it in this thread.

Tried that already... Disabling BT doesn't prevent HU from detecting and kind-of BT pairing the device, ejecting in the same time the phone ... At least in my situation...
I reply to myself.
I found out a solution.
Strangely, disabling BT did not solve my problem. It seems that the headunit was retrieving information gathered at the first connection...
I then decided to hard reset the headunit. When asked to connect phone to BT, I complied.
In the meantime, I spoofed the BT MAC Address, copying phone's one to tablet. Now they both have the same BT MAC Address.
When tablet was plugged into usb for AA connection, the phone stayed BT connected. It worked and works since then.
Application to spoof BT MAC Address could be easily found on the G market.
i been toying wirh aa2. 9 or aa3. 0 because of non working issues
i accidently noticed my bt does not connect to my car but aa2. 9 still works.
i need to replicate this again.
if this work, 2 phone can still works

Try using "app quarantine". This it the only application that really stoped my BT for good.
So success with 2 phones?
Do you need to be rooted to spoof the BT MAC address?
Thanks

Thanks for this.
I kind of have it working but cannot control the phone connected by BT from the head unit (which still tries to make calls from the phone connected via AA).
Calls made directly from the phone do however go through the head unit.
Is there a way to control the BT phone via the head unit with the other phone connected via AA?

thank you to Pixege !
the method described it realy works (tested on Galaxy S7 and galaxy S5) in function on galaxy S5
it works ok if tha main phone it is conected in HFP mode
but because I have and rSAP mode and I'd like it want to use this type of conection but here are some problems..
the reason it is because I try to build from a galaxy s5 SM-901F (6.0.1, version MMB29M.G901FFXXU1CQE3 rooted with chainfire ) a standalone device im my car for use android auto in the car independent of my normal phone (galaxy S8)
so I want to use in the same time 2 android phones but both want to conect by bluetooth to the car (VW Discovery Pro)
to do that I disable via Esentiale root bluetooth proceses I found and works fine if the main S8 it is conect by HFP protocol
but if s8 is conected by rSAP (and I want to be conected by rSAP) when the second phone is conected by usb(with blutooth off) somehow disconect the sim from main S8 phone (but on the phone show like the rsim it is still working) but not conect to the second phone
if I first conect the android auto (S5) and after connect the phone (S8) rhe rSAP conection works fine
if I first conect the phone (S8) and after connect the android auto (S5) the rSAP conection not work on S8
anyway I want to disable the rsap on the galaxy s5 , how can I do this?
i solved in this way
