Hi,
I used to have a BBerry and switched to Droid 2 global and purchased the Android license and installed it.
On my laptop, when I launch Tether, I now see connection options - either BBerry or Android. Under ANdroid, I see two options - USB abd BlueTooth. However, under Android, I do not have the BlueTooth option. Connecting with USB works perfectly fine.
Question - how do I connect my Droid via Tether?
P.S. devices are paired and see each other fine.
Kevin

I am sorry for the confusion - When I select the BBerry option I see two options underneath - USB and Bluetooth and when I select Droid - only USB is available...

Hello,

Bluetooth is not an option for Tether Android at this time, and it's because there isn't a compatible Bluetooth API available for us to work with. I'm very sorry.

Having problems connecting to internet. No packets or data is received or sent. I tried restarting the computer and removing battery as recommended but this doesn't help connect.

Tether's website states that bluetooth connection via Android is not an option.
