There are detailed instructions included with FoxFi that tell you how to do the set up. You will need PDAnet Tablet on whichever Android tablet you are using. They even offer instructions to connect a computer as well.

I tried following the directions on the link, but I dont have the option to connect to the internet when the bluetooth box opens. Can you help with that?

If you're rooted, check out Wireless Tether for Root Users (https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...etails?id=android.tether&hl=en&token=EVReOlMW). It works great on the Thunderbolt to enable a Wi-Fi hotspot that you can connect the Nexus 7 to. It supports WPA2 and is easy to enable/disable on the fly.

I will be attempting it without root. I just hope it works.

I am trying to connect a Thunderbolt to a Nexus 7. I am not rooted. I installed FoxFi on my phone and PDANet Tablet 2.20 on the Nexus 7. WifFi mode cannot be used. It says "WiFi mode can not be activated on HTC phones due to an HTC hotspot lock. Please use Bluetooth Mode instead". OK. So I turned on Activate Bluetooth DUN and connected PDANet on the Nexus to my phone through Bluetooth.
According to the directions I should now be tethered to my phone through Bluetooth. I see the connection but I cannot get on the internet.

On my tablet, Bluetooth is on, but WiFi is off. I turned it off so it wouldn't still be on my WiFi network. Does WiFi need to be on, even though the tablet is connecting to the phone through Bluetooth? If not, any idea what is wrong?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

How did you get it to work? Mine isn't working.

Well, i set mine up via Bluetooth. The instructions even state that if you have an HTC phone, it wont work with WIFI.
I did the BT option and made the N7 discover the Tbolt. Which it found.
After that, just activate and I am on.
Certain things i notice do not work such as Google Talk, HQ YouTube. I am still messing with it.
Make sure that your N7 has PDANET Tablet App. and FOXFI for your phone.
If you need step by step instructions, it will have to wait till i get home.
