Speed for hotspot over Bluetooth?

I have my iPhone 5 tethering on Verizon LTE. Downloads on the phone are 15-18 Mbps but my iPad 3 tethered over Bluetooth only gets 1.5 Mbps max. Wifi is 10 Mbps and I know is faster but I expect Bluetooth 4.0 to do better than 1.5. What are others getting with Bluetooth and should I be able to get better than 1.5 with two Bluetooth 4.0 devices?

I'm having the same problem I think. With LTE personal hotspot on my iPhone 5 I can only get a max of 1.5-2 Mbps. I am also with Verizon and have unlimited data. When using my phone I average about 24mbps and when tethering to iMac I can only get about 2mbps. And it doesn't matter if I connect via wireless or USB cable. Also when I connect my iMac to my phone hotspot using wifi I constantly keep losing connection for some reason like every 5 minutes.

I am using several Macs running Yosemite. I was recently “upgraded” to Xfinity’s new cable modem which can support both 2.5Ghz and 5Ghz networks at the same time. Actually I can connect to the internet over both with a satisfactory bump in speed for the Ghz. However when I connect to the 5Ghz the Time capsule disappears from the Airport Utility and claims to be Not Found. Is there something I have done wrong or just a Yosemite Teething Problem

First restart your mac and try again.
It could be
that the router and the TC are interfering wirelessly with each other.
You can check this by pressing the option key while clicking on the wireless icon on your screen
Open Wireless Diagnostics
enter your user password
Press CMD 4 then Scan
You will see all the wireless channels being used in your location and you can check if they are on the same channel
Make the SSID for the TC simple like MyTC
Set 5Ghz to auto
Update the TC
Try again

My iPhone 5 won't connect to my macbook pro retina over bluetooth?

My iPhone 5 won't connect to my macbook pro retina over bluetooth?

Ah, sure it actually won't. I have the same problem, and I contacted Apple Support. They told me that there is an incompatability between the iphone 5 and MacBook Pro Retina such that Bluetooth pairing is not possible.
The Support Agent actually had the audacity to tell me this was part of the design of the OS on the MacBook Pro, like Windows people saying, "That's not a bug. It's a feature!!"
Personally, I think this is insane. While I was trying to tether the iphone to the MacBook Pro retina for an internet connection, there are other reasons related to file transfers for which one would want to pair the iphone 5 with the MacBook Pro retina.
I am hoping this "feature" is fixed in iOS 7, and/or in some dot release of Mac OS 10.8.
By the way, the personal hotspot feature on my Verizon iphone 5 works great either via a wifi or USB connection. There are occaisions, however, when one would 1) not have a USB cable, and/or 2) have another wifi relationship between the phone and a network that one would not want to have to "forget" in order for it not to connect to that wifi network. The Macbook will not find the iphone as a wifi hotspot if the iphone is connected to wifi in the first place. At least mine won't.

Hotspot via bluetooth

Hotspot via Bluetooth is the only way to connect to it without having to activate the hotspot. in wifi hotspot mode are problems to connect and then only helps on and off the hotspot function.
so I use bluetooth because I then once with my ipad mini bluetooth must choose from the iphone.
However, when bluetooth is the problem that iMessage does not work.
is the problem known?

Last night I discovered my daughter can connect her iPod Touch 5 (iOS 8.0.2) to my iPhone 5 (also iOS 8.0.2) using the Personal Hotspot function (via Bluetooth) even when Personal Hotspot is set to OFF on my phone. Is that really working as intended by Apple?
If she tries to connect via WIFI, she cannot unless I have the Personal Hotspot set to ON. OK good, that makes sense!
If she connects via Bluetooth though, she always sees my phone and if she selects that connection, it turns my Personal Hotspot on my phone from OFF to ON. That just seems odd to me. I'd prefer to restrict that. I have noticed that even if I change my password on the Personal Hotspot, it does not matter. If she selects that connection via Bluetooth, BOOM... It changes it on my phone from OFF to ON.
Anyone else notice this? Sure, I can turn off Bluetooth on my phone to stop it, but I use BT quite a bit for speakers and in my car. I usually prefer to leave it ON. She also uses BT for her wireless speaker.
IMO, Apple should change that to if I have my personal Hotspot set to OFF, it should not be visible at all unless I turn it ON (like it works over the wifi connection).
Personal hotspot is a carrier feature.

I can no longer Dial my speed dial numbers by bluetooth after GB update....HELP

I can even deal with the fact that it erased my original speed dial settings. What I cannot deal with is the fact that BY LAW i must use a hands free device wihle driving but since the GB update I can no longer Dial my 9 speed dial numbers by Bluetooth. Trying to push the number and hold it for a few secs not only breaks the law and jepordizes my kids in the car . Here how it works ( or supposed to work. I push the button on my head set. It says " Say A Command ". I say Call speed dial 3. It repeats it back to me. I say Yes. It NOW dials the last number dialed. I never had this problem before the update.

Food for thought: There is actually information released by the NTSB that even using "hands free" devices while driving have been proven to distract drivers.
As for the Bluetooth commands: I've never used "speed dial" I usually say "Call Nicole Mobile" and it will connect still with no problems.
I just tried to use the voice command "call speed dial 1" and it did not recognize it. It appears you must use the name now.

How can i print to my officejet 100 mobile printer from an android device over bluetooth?

I'm stumped here. I've installed the printer on my Windows PC. I'm able to pair with it (Bluetooth) from my Android tablet (Galaxy 10.1"). I've tried using a variety of printing programs from the Android Marketplace, but I can't get anything to print.
When I try with PrinterShare, it asks me to select the printer. When I select the OfficeJet 100, I'm told that the application can't find a driver for the printer.
Note to HP: You definitely need to improve the documentation on this printer. The docs that came with my printer make no mention of Android, and finding anything useful online is practically impossible. Very disappointing.
This question was solved.

Downloaded printershare and $13 premium key. Works perfectly over bluetooth for Droid Xyboard.

Hi uneleashurself and thanks for your answer.
Forgive my language but getting to talk to the Safaricom customer service is a real pain in the **bleep** - if you ever get to talk to them, that is.
I've never got an answer to my phone calls in three years and their customer assistans in the shops usually have no clue about whatever it is you're asking them.
I talked to a few of them in a couple of different Safaricom shops and they didn't know what I was talking about.
Still, I believe Safaricom is not the problem as other people I know who have a BlackBerry on Safaricom haven't experienced this problem.

IPhone 4 iOS7: Playing music over bluetooth, short dropout during mp3-id-transfer

After upgrading my iPhone 4 to iOS7, i have a little problem with the music-player.
I use it, playing music in my car over Bluetooth. Everytime a new song starts, I have a short dropout while my iPhone transfers the MP3 tag to my car's soundsystem. It would be no problem, if that happens before starting to play a song, but it starts to play for about half a second, then drops out, sends the tag and my soundsystem displays it, then continues playing.
I use a Renault Carminat soundsystem with TomTom-Navigation (all builtin).
Any ideas?
Untagging the MP3-songs is out of discussion!
Buying iPhone 5s is in plan, but there must be another solution.

Hi,
I'm from germany so no 'best buy' but I think I will lock around sleeve/bag for a different product with same measures. Any tip?
The clear plastic case is not what I want. I would like to use the player without such protections. I just want a sleeve to protect the player while its in my jacket/pants.
Btw, i have bought this version: Creative Zen (maybe european version?). I also doesn't seem to have your mentioned sleeve. I also couldn't find it on the website.
Anyway, thank you,
Chris

AirPlay discovery over Bluetooth in AppleTV 6.1?

Has anyone got AirPlay discovery over Bluetooth, supposedly added to, AppleTV 6.1, working?
Does it requires an iPhone 5 and/or an AppleTV (3rd generation)?
I'm using an iPhone 4s with iOS 7.1 and an Apple TV (2nd gen) with 6.1:
• AirPlay works fine if I put these two devices on the same Wi-Fi network
But if I switch them to different networks (which are still IP connected though), the Airplay button does not get appear on my iPhone.
• Bluetooth is enabled on both the iPhone and Apple TV 2.
Several sites report AirPlay discovery over Bluetooth working between iOS 7.1 and AppleTV 6.1:
• http://gadgets.ndtv.com/tv/news/apple-tv-61-update-brings-airplay-security-optio n-discovery-over-bluetooth-and-more-494249

• https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/discussion.html?id=9969

Saito,
• AirPlay mirroring works fine for me when both devices, AppleTV & iOS device, are on the same wireless network.
• We are not trying to do AirPlay mirroring over Bluetooth.
But my institutional network blocks the multicats used by the Bonjour protocol to disocver AirPlay receivers. To use AirPlay here, I must therefor set up an ad-hoc WiFI network and connect both the AppleTV and the iOS device to this network, for the Bonjour protocol to be successful and the AirPlay link to be displayed on the iOS device.
The links I provided suggested that with iOS 7.1 and AppleTV 6.1, one could use bluetooth for discovery of the AirPlay receiver (and hence it's IP address.) The actual AirPlay session would then routed from your iOS device to the IP address of the AppleTV. Bluetooth would not be used for the AirPlay traffic, just for the Bonjour discovery phase.
However, I, like Randall G. Black - TIS, was unable to discover my AppleTV (2nd generation) over Bluetooth. I, like Randall G. Black - TIS, wonder if AirPlay-discovery-over-Bluetooth, in addition to requiring iOS 7.1 and AppleTV 6.1, may have other requirements? Perhaps it only works with the AppleTV (3rd generation)?

Sharing internet connection over bluetooth

i have 2 computers less than 10 metres apart, one of which is connected to the internet broadband. the solution for sharing the connection wirelessly with this particular setup is rather expensive.
i was wondering if it would be possible to share the internet connection on the computer that has it over bluetooth with the other computer.
i read an archived response suggesting that it was. can someone confirm?
just to be clear:
i hoping to have 2 computers bluetooth connected the second of which will be able to connect to the internet via the 1st computers connection.

While it is not explicitly supported by OS X, both machines can be configured to do this. For lots of reasons, I don't think that this is a good idea. Your Bluetooth link is so slow compared to either a wireless—or even much faster terrestrial—ethernet link, that it's not worth the effort to enable this service.
Save yourself a great deal of grief and disappointment, and get ahold of a relatively inexpensive ethernet gateway [wired or wireless] and set up a small local area network. You will be far more secure, and enjoy a far better level of performance than you would see if you attempted to create a Bluetooth LAN.
That said, here is a set of instructions for enabling internet sharing using Terminal commands. It's paraphrased from…
http://www.macgeekery.com/hacks/pppoverbluetooth
In the Bluetooth preference pane's sharing tab, make a new Serial Port Service and name it bt-ppp and make it an RS-232 device. If it's on, disable internet sharing in the Sharing prefpane. Then create the following script [shown below.]
The script starts pppd on the new Bluetooth serial device you've created, then sets up IP forwarding, NAT, and the like. The en0 can be replaced with en1 if your primary net connection is AirPort. You can change the IP listed to something appropriate for your network, as well. If you put it in the range of IPs you're already using for your home network, natd is smart enough to work as a router instead of a gateway. Run as root, but—for the love of all that is holy and just—use sudo instead of su.
This is the script you must run in terminal:
/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/tty.bt-ppp 115200 noauth local passive proxyarp asyncmap 0 silent persist :10.1.1.25 &
/usr/sbin/sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
/usr/sbin/natd -same_ports -use_sockets -log -deny_incoming -interface en0
/sbin/ipfw add divert natd ip from any to any via en0
If you are unfamiliar with issuing commands from the Terminal or are not familiar with what these unix commands mean, I would suggest that you proceed very cautiously, and do more research before attempting this.

Qosmio G20: How to disable/workaround SCMS-T for adiosyn with bluetooth headphones?

Greetings All,
I've recently purchased a set of bluetooth stereo headphones (Creative CB2350) and found that due to the inclusion of SCMS-T copyright protection I cannot audiosync directly to my laptops bluetooth stack (Qosmio G20). The headphones come with an audio jack adapter (bluetooth transmitter), however it runs on a single AAA battery and cannot last more than about an hour; so I need to connect without this.
Is there any way to disable or workaround the requirement for SCMS-T copyright-protection in the latest toshiba bluetooth stack? and if not why not?! I've paid good money for both my Qosmio and my Headphones and I'm quit infuriated at the deliberate inclusion of software/firmware designed specifically to prevent me from using my hardware for legitimate purposes (i.e. what they were designed to do).
Please Help Me,
Lee ([email protected])
PS: Frankly I didn't have much of a problem with DRM technology before this, but now I can see just how irritating and pointless DRM is; compare the number of people who actually use bluetooth devices for pirating (negligable) to the number of bluetooth headphones that do not support SCMS-T (alot if all my google searchs are anything to go by) and you see just how stupid the whole idea of DRM over bluetooth really is.
In my not so humble opinion big corporations like toshiba should railroaded over converluted pap such as SCMS-T as a matter of recourse; the end user doesn't want to spend several years downloading licenses and scouring the web only to find out his/her hardware is utterly useless. (sorry for the rant but that is how I feel).

Hy there deepblue,
Thanks for responding again.
Initially I had thought that the adapter/transmitter failed due to a dead battery, although I have since confirmed that the battery is not dead, in fact the adapter works fine (at least for a time). It would seem that the adapter simply shuts down at random intervals (it has happened a few times now) and I can't figure out for the life of me why; the adapter is designed to switch-off after 2 minutes of inactivity although each time it (randomly) switches off I have been recieving audio so perhaps there is something wrong with the auto switch-off function? or perhaps the batteries are in the process of dying?
I have can't recall seeing an estimate of battery lifetime for the adapter on the creative product website (that is not to say there isn't one) but the headset has an estimated continuous runtime of up to 8 hours (on its 2xAAA batteries) so I would assume that the adapter can last at least as long (on its 1xAAA battery); if not this amounts to a major design flaw in my opinion. Sadly the adapter doesn't come with an AC adapter, it is only little itself and I assume it would require one heck of a transformer. ;)
Bah, I'll try and get the blasted thing to work reliably over the next week or so and if I have no luck creative can sort it out. It would still be nice to use my headset without the aid of the audio jack, seeing that headset logo on my bluetooth 'radar' screen is a bit of a tease. ;)
Incidentally I have been probing furiously to find a set of bluetooth headphones which support SCMS-T and it would seem there is only one set on the market (by bluetake) and what's more it would seem that the SCMS-T is specifically designed to degrade sound quality (don't know to what extent but regardless this seems like 1 step forward followed by 5 steps back to me) which would seem incompatible with any bluetooth consumer audio products - Toshiba me thinks it is time to lock the proponents of SCMS-T in a cupboard somewhere and get to work on bluetooth stack v5.0. ;)

No sound from GB over Bluetooth connection

The function to perform sound of Garageband over Bluetooth doesn't work well!
The I-pad settings to play sound over BT are correct.
The pairing with my (bluetooth) VOIIS gateway was succesful.
Music (sound) from my I-Pad (i.e. Music APP) is transmitted correct to my amplifier through this device.
The special setting in Garageband have been done ( sound over Bluetoorth/HDMI)
however the sound of Garageband over Bluetooth is not transmitted to my BT device.
Without Bluetooth setting it is working well (sound from I-pad speakers (i should say squeeckers ))

The problem is solved!
I did what you suggest a couple of times, but i had no luck.
What might have somehow fixed the problem: I opened iWeb, and then previewed a GB song to import. It played great.
Then I opened GB and everything worked...
Strange.
Thank you all for your help anyway!

Currently using an ASUS router to connect as when I attempted to connect after rebooting PC I couldn't get online, I had to leave the router off for a while eventually and am getting lower errors than before so would prefer not to change back at the moment.
Since connecting to BT on the 31st the speed hasn't changed atall, I tried to leave it online for a week+ however when I checked connection info after being unable to log in tonight it had disconnected about 2 days ago.
I might believe it's purely a line issue, however I had the full connection speed for the last 2.5 years from my previous ISP. I switched because after using 1.3gb/day or 10gb/week it would cap peak time speeds to sub-dial-up.
Currently connected to the master socket with no other sockets in use in the house, no changes have been made anywhere else to my knowledge since changing.
Solved!

with your attentuation the exchange must be next door to you
you have max conenction and a very high noise margin but in your case that is good and gives 'margin in hand' for the time your line is upgraded to 21CN
