How to use bluetooth tethering with Janky BT (Solved)

[ayush]

Hi i wanna know how to use bluetooth tethering with Janky Bluetooth Wizard

There's no help on this topic, can anyone guide me through this ?

[Semme]

PhilB did in fact include instructions that he described as "hit or miss."

With your dongle and BT device on and discover-able, did hitting "Start Bluetooth" pick up your controller?

Of course it did!

Granted, it's simply a matter of following-through with PhilB's instructions.

I cant understand what i need to do here ??

As per the instructions I did like this

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
#edit the following line adding your device iD. example   ....                   dev_DC_F0_90_2F_01_C5

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=org.bluez /org/bluez/hci0/dev_22_22_8C_F2_80_BB org.bluez.Network1.Connect string:'nap'

where dev_22_22_8C_F2_80_BB is my device id (actually 22:22:8C:F2:80:BB) and then i clicked on tether to phone and open frisbee but as it says i cound find any new interface named 'bnep0'

Ayush,

What is it you wanna do here with BT?

Share your phone's internet connection or possibly stream audio?

Does your phone have a BT tethering option?

Keep in mind your computer must have a functioning BT controller.

Yes i have a functioning bt adapter (see here) and i wanna share my phone's internet connection.
Yes my phone has bluetooth tethering option.

Does your phone have a BT tethering option -- a menu item you enable?

yes ofc it has
Btw I am using custom rom Pixel Experience android 12 hope there's no problem with that

[Semme]

Hang in there. IMO success with BT boils down to the order of events.

Thanks to the Arch wiki it's good to know this whole process can be -- Tip: automated.

I got it to work only to discover my device is NOT network capable.

On the other hand I should be able to provide you a routine you can try in the next day or two.

[Semme]

Make sure you know the correct Bluetooth address of your phone.

You'll find this in Settings >> About phone.

Yeah i know it. It's the same as the address here

Yes tell me how you got it to show that bnep0 interface

[Semme]

Say, after you added your phone's BT addy and saved, hit "Tether to Phone," then open a terminal and type: iwconfig

If bnep's there, what's it's status to the right?

You may still need an initial routine.

[rcrsn51]

Bnep0 is treated as an Ethernet interface, NOT a WiFi interface, even though it's over Bluetooth.

Run: ifconfig -a bnep0

Activate bnep0 the same way you would activate eth0, depending on your connection manager.

[ayush]

I cant understand what are you guys doing how to edit that line starting with dbus-send ??

bnep0 is not there

[Semme]

I read the first part here then got bnep0 after running the example session that follows.

You need to allow a little time after the scan and pair commands, then Tether to Phone.

Now open a shell and run rcrsn51's command.

Oh, and run "rfkill" to make sure nothing's blocked.

Hi sorry i forgot to update but this have been solved long ago

I followed this guide

You need to edit the /etc/dbus-1/system.d/bluetooth.conf and edit the jankyBT configuration file like dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=org.bluez /org/bluez/hci0/dev_XX_XX_XX_XX_XX_XX org.bluez.Network1.Connect string:'nap' where where XX represents the Bluetooth MAC address of your smartphone but before that you should do pair XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX and trust XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

Then open JankyBT and just click on tether to phone and make sure your bluetooth tethering is enabled and you are good to go
