Yoga 10 HD+ won't connect using bluetooth tethering

My Yoga 10 HD+ is running KitKat. It pairs quite happily with my Samsung Galaxy Note 3. The bluetooth connection works well for transferring files/photos etc but will not work as a tethered internet connection.
On the bluetooth connection there is an option to "Use this connection for internet access" which I have ticked, but still when I try it says I am offline and should switch on either my WiFi of 3G connection.
It tethers and connects to the internet fine if I use WiFi as the connection between phone & tablet but the tablet just won't use the bluetooth connection to access the internet despite the ticked option to do so.
Anybody got any ideas ?
Come on Lenovo, let's get it sorted.

This may not work for you, but it did for me. Just got mine as well, 10 HD+, and I had no working bluetooth. It would just keep searching and would stop after about 15 seconds. I had to do two restarts to fix my problem.
I think all of those updates I had to do the moment I took it out of the box (3 if i remember) cause the issue. Again, it took TWO restarts, on the second restart when I tried the bluetooth it worked.
After that I could connect to Bluetooth devices (tried on two diff. speakers) and I could recognize and stream music accordingly.
Hope this helps!

When I try to use my JBL speaker, it won't connect to Bluetooth at all with my iPad Air

My iPad Air won't connect to Bluetooth so I can use my iPad Air and JBL speaker. I keeps saying it is searching for devices.....any idea what to do. I'm using wi-fi

I suspect it won't pair with your iPad, because it's paired with your phone, even though the phone is off. Do you have the instructions for pairing the speaker? If you don't, google them and see if the device can be paired with multiple devices.

I have an Ipad and an Ipod Touch 5th gen both on the latest firmwares but they won't connect via bluetooth whenever I try even though both shows that the devices are discoverable. I need help!

Ad Hoc connection using Bluetooth

Hi,
Is it possible to create a Ad Hoc connection using a Bluetooth Dongle, I have no idea about Ad Hoc & Infrastructure Modes, So can anybody tell me if it is possible to create Ad Hoc wireless connection using Bluetooth Dongle ?
I wanted to use WLAN in my Nokia N96, I don't have a Wireless Router. I have read a few articles about Ad Hoc connections, What I assume is..A WLAN connection can be created without a WiFi Router. Is it possible ? If "yes" can anybody tell me the steps ?
Thanks & Regards
Sujay Kumar

If you have a wired (LAN) accesspoint you can set up a Internet Connection Sharing with a PC or laptop and your phone. They both need WLAN. Look at this setup for XP.

How can I see "access point" for "connection method" to use Bluetooth tethering?

I have been using WiFi tethering. However, as everybody knows, the battery of my Nexus 5 goes down so fast. Now I wish to use Bluetooth tethering. I updated my Nexus 5 to Android 5.0. I have a desktop PC, notebook PC and new Surface
Pro 3 all with Windows 8.1 Update. Up to pairing everything goes OK but when I click the "Nexus 5" graphic on the control panel, I could see only "direct connection" (no "access point"). Some website indicates "KB290440"
but it is not found in the history of update. I would therefore appreciate if somebody would kindly help me to use Bluetooth tethering.
By the way, the Windows system I am using is Japanese.
Thank you in advance.

Some website indicates "KB290440" but it is not found in the history of update.
That's the latest "servicing stack". I think it is optional. More significant I think would be whether you have the latest rollup, which is also optional, so far. E.g. at the top of View your update history see what you have for
"Most recent cumulative update: "
FWIW here is mine:

Airport Express won't connect using 5GHz

Hi Everyone,
I've got an Airport Express set up in "join a network" mode out in my living room for Airtunes and to provide network to my blueray player that doesn't have wireless. I've got a dual band DLink dir-825 router in my den.
My problem is that the AE won't connect using the 5GHz spectrum. It does connect just fine in the 2.4GHz at N speeds, but it refuses to move up to the 5GHz spectrum.
I also have a mac mini that does connect just fine using 5GHz and N.
Is there any way to force the AE to join my network using 5GHz N instead of 2.4GHz N?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

adsfushi, I just set up a dual network with my roommate tonight... we have two separate networks - one 5ghz (he can connect to it) and a 2.4 ghz that I can connect to, but I can't access the 5 ghz. It simply won't recognize me. Why would that be? I have an airport express and use a 24 inch imac. He has a mac book pro.

Macbook Air (Mid-2013) and iPhone 5s IOS version 8.1 won't connect via bluetooth, anyone know how to fix this problem?

I have a Macbook Air running OS-X Yosemite and an iPhone 5s running IOS version 8.1. Every time I try to connect the devices via bluetooth is won't connect saying my Macbook Air isn't supported when in actuality it is. Anyone know how to fix this issue? I have restarted both my Mac/Iphone and have turned bluetooth on/off and nothing seems to help. Bluetooth pairing didn't work before I updated to IOS 8.1 so I doubt that is the issue here.

Pairing an iPhone to a computer (Mac or Windows) is only supported for personal hotspot (sharing the iPhone's cellular internet connection) and then only if your cellular plan supports it. More information: Bluetooth: Why can't I pair my iPhone or iPad with my computer?

Centro won't HotSync using Bluetooth & Windows 7

I have been using Bluetooth to HotSync my Palm Centro (Verizon) with my Windows 7 (HP) computer. The last successful HotSync was 2 weeks ago (9/20). No hardware or software changes have been made to the computer since then. When I tried to HotSync today I got this message:
HotSync Problem
Unable to initiate HotSync operation because the port is in use by another application.
I tried rebooting the computer, but that didn't help.
Can anybody help me? In very simple basic words (pretend you're talking to your grandmother) please.
Thanks,
Nancy
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

I also get this message. I thought it was because my wife and I each have a Palm Centro and it meant that the HotSync was still connected to the other person's phone. But If you are only using one phone, and still get this message, I am now stumped as to why the error occurs.

PB with Orinoco card won't connect using OS 9

Could someone help me get the following configuration to work.
G3 Wallstreet with Lucent Orinoco silver card running OS 9.2.2 won't connect to internet via an Extreme BS running under OS 10.4/DSL.
Using airport extension 2.0.4 and the airport card sees the BS (strong signal indicated), but cannot connect. When press the connect button, it starts to dial an old modem phone number and fails.
BTW, the BS works perfectly with newer Powerbooks running OS 10.4.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Mini 1.5 GHz/SD/GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Hello Robert,
Does your desktop show your Orinoco card as being
mounted? Mine has an icon sitting on the desktop
(Wavelan IEEE).
Yes, on desktop, with the name "Airport PC Card".
When I double click on it, it brings
up the TCP/IP control panel.
Double clicking icon brings up an options box (?) with CONNECT and TURN AIRPORT OFF buttons. Also shows signal level (mine is high) Airport and BS id numbers. This options box shows AIRPORT in the menu bar at the top. I believe this is what you describe as TCP/IP control panel. However, if I select the TCP/IP control panel I get a box with TCP/IP in the menu bar and it shows setup parameters which seem correct.
Airport in the Apple menu gives me a dialog box
with a CONNECT button. It shows my AEBS name to the
left of the button.
Under Status, mine shows my network name and
"Status not available". I don't get too wrapped
around this as it is currently working.
Mine shows AEBS name and directly below "Not connected to the Internet".
Below that is signal strength bar with strong signal indicated.
Do you have a triangle with "Show settings" beside
it. If you click on the triangle, what does it show.
Mine shows "Airport On" with a button to turn Airport
Off. Under Airport Network, there is a
pulldown next to "Choose network" which shows
"Computer to Computer" and my network name. I have my
network name selected.
Yes, have triangle. When triangle pointing down see:
Airport On and a button to turn Airport Off.
Under Airport Network, in Choose Network is the name of my AEBS. Another choice, not selected, is Create computer to computer network. Third choice is
complicated number sequence that seems to also be a.k.a. name for the BS.
The AppleTalk control panel also shows connect via
"Airport PC Card" and Current Zone shows "no zones
available", but I think it should show
"wireless".
Mine shows "Wavelan IEEE" and "no zones available".
Wonder why mine has different name (Airport PC Card). Tried, but cannot rename the airport card icon on desktop.
I hope that some of this is helpful to you and that
we can get you up and running in a minimum of time.
New info:
On my HD I have a folder titled WaveLAN Install Disk. It contains a number of files which I assume I downloaded off a CD or the internet many months ago when I had an ethernet connection. Some files are installers which I probably already used (no record of the my early install steps). There are a couple of WaveLAN extensions in my extensions folder (WaveLAN CARD and WAVELAN DLPI. There is also 3 Airport extensions (Airport AP, Airport AP support and Airport PC Card). Do you see the same?
Thanks

Droid won't connect to Bluetooth

After the update today my Droid2 global won't connect to my blue tooth in my car. Settings on my phone show that it is paired but not connected. Have tried rebooting, etc but cannot get it to work. Anybody else having this problem?

I am seeing the same issue. However, if I open up my bluetooth settings, find my hands free device, and select connect, it does connect. It just doesn't connect automatically as it did before the update.

Using bluetooth tethering in iPad mini

can i use my nokia phone as modem for iPad mini through bluetooth tethering.I have done it with iPad touch 5th generation

You can use an iPhone (if your carrier supports it) as a personal hotspot for your iPad and use the phone's cellular connection to go online with your iPad - your iPad will see the phone as a wifi network.
If you are asking if you can share an internet connection from a wifi-only iPad then you can't, only cellular models potentially allow you to share its connection with other devices/computers.

Windows 7 won't connect to bluetooth keyboard

I've been using a Logitech MX5000 keyboard for awhile. I switch between windows and mac via bootcamp all the time. Recently though, I can't use the keyboard while in Windows 7. The keyboard pairs fine, but it is all greyed out. I've tried every suggestion that I can find:
~The keyboard is no longer paired with Mac OSX
~I've tried using Generic windows bluetooth drivers
~I've reinstalled bootcamp drivers.
Nothing seems to give me a permanent fix, and I can't even get it to work at the moment. Anyone know how to fix this?

Windows 7 is security-conscious to the point of paranoia. I assume this is the reason it won't sign on to the open services! I get a 'connected' message, followed by 'internet not available'. At no point am I offered a login, and there's nothing in the settings about it.
I bought this laptop so I can travel with it - I need it to recognise Fon and Openzone points wherever they're available, and log itself on. Just like my Blackberry does ...
This has to be a matter of overriding some settings (and perhaps adding a new one). Can someone advise, please?
Hi. Welcome to the forums
My desktop Win 7 connects to FON (I pick the BTOpenzone connection), and when I then try a google, I get presented with a login page. If you aren't seeing the login page, then perhaps you can type in directly :-

Messages won't connect to bluetooth headset for sound output

I have a Plantronics Voyager Legend bluetooth headset that can pair with more than one device. I got it so I could switch back and forth from my phone to my MacBook Pro (running Mavericks) easily. It works great everywhere. EXCEPT, it won't work for Messages sound output. I've talked with three different Apple support people and with Plantronics. I tried a workaround I found elsewhere using Soundflower, but that did not work either. I've checked all settings, unpaired/repaired, shut down/rebooted/reset; looked for software issues; downloaded the current firmware; tried turning bluetooth off my phone to see if that was an issue; and probably some other things I'm forgetting; all to no avail.
Any ideas?

Following up on the above...
My S10-HD paired straight out of the box w/ my iPod Touch 2G; however, when I tried to pair it with my iPad 2, the iPad 2 would just search...and search...and search.
On page 7 of the S10-HD manual, you'll see a note saying, "To pair your headphones again, press and hold the "0" (power) key until the status light becomes steadily lit in blue".
This proved to be the key to getting the S10-HD to work with the iPad 2. The S10-HD needs to be "off", then you'll have to press and hold for around 7 to 10 seconds.
Furthermore, it appears (from my own testing; your results may differ) that the S10-HD can only be paired to one device at a time. That may sound obvious, but what it means is that you'll first have to turn off Bluetooth on the paired device with which the S10-HD is currently connected, then connect it to the other device with which it is already paired. (Kind of a pain, but I can live with it.)
Also, if there's anyone considering the S9-HD or who's had an S9-HD fail because of sweat incursion (i.e., you use it at the gym, etc.), Motorola is offering a warranty upgrade from the S9-HD to the S10-HD. What you need to know is: (1) The S9-HD will fail from the least bit of sweat entering the unit through the speakers; and (2) The S9-HD sounds better than the S10-HD (a lot better...it's a tradeoff you have to be willing to live with if you want these for exercise). To get the S10-HD if you've experienced prob's w/ your S9-HD as described, call Julie Scofield in the Consumer Advocacy Office at Motorola's Corporate Headquarters: (847) 523-5852.
