Just was wondering if anyone found a way to get Bluetooth tethering working on this device yet.
Tried foxfi to both a galaxy tab 7 plus and a transformer prime and didn't work for me.
On one occasion it worked briefly but only in Web browser not google play or any apps.
any ideas?

Any ideas at all?
Been racking my head over this for a few days.
So far the other apps haven't updated yet to test for work arround.
No one else tried this?
I tethered to a Nexus 7 and it worked. Foxfi app on S3, pdaNet tablet app on the Nexus 7. The only issue that I noticed is bluetooth DUN on the S3 turn off by itself occasionally so I have to turn it back on and reconnect.
Hi there... struggling a bit with this bluetooth tethering.
So I've done the bluetooth tethering thing before with other devices including my current Razr HD which I sometimes bluetooth tether to my ipad2. There it's a pretty straightforward process.
On the Nexus... not so much. I can get it working, but it's something that takes a little finagling; I have to re-pair the devices if I disconnect.
So after unpairing on my N7, I do the following to make BT tethering work.
1) Select the available device (my RAZR HD for BT tethering) to pair and connect
2) It'll show the pairing code on both devices... I hit pair on them relatively quickly... and then
3) Quickly hit the settings button for the RAZR HD on my N7 screen and select the internet access check mark option. This step has to happen within a few seconds.
If I wait longer than a few seconds after pairing, then if I try to do the internet access check mark... well, it won't work. It refuses to be check marked.
And, as I mentioned before... after disconnecting, I can't just reselect the device to retether; I have to unpair and go through the process again.
Maybe I'll do a video showing success or failure of this if this isn't too clear but... maybe someone can shed some light on this?
Okay... I just did a video of this, showing this thing both not working (by not selecting internet access quickly enough after pairing) as well as working at the end.

I'm having a similar issue with my S4...the Nexus doesn't even see the internet tethering profile and when I try to initiate it from the S4 side, it just goes to "connecting" and then stops.
Bluetooth tethering is working perfectly for me between the Nexus 7 (2013) and my Galaxy Nexus, both running 4.3.

Maybe it's a 4.3 -> 4.2 thing then. I wonder if this RAZR HD will get a 4.3 update anytime soon...
Still really disappointed that my ipad2 just works while the N7 doesn't...
Does anyone use the Veetle app here to stream movies and stuff?
What happens for me is the stream will randomly end and when I return to the homescreen when this happens, my WiFi is shown as disconnected. After a second it will connect again, and the whole thing repeats.
I've reinstalled the app to no avail.
Would like to know if other users are experiencing this as well. Thanks!
Just for future reference, I found the solution. I turned off wireless-N on my router. Seems like it doesn't play nice with the N7.
I have a Linksys E2000 router. For some reason my new Nexus 7 times out, lags out, or fails to connect when doing basic things like browsing with Chrome, Google+, or the Play Store. I don't want to say that this only occurs with Google apps but they are what I primarily use on my tablet. This happens often enough to be extremely bothersome and I don't know what I should do. I have port forwarding enabled on my router for use with Plex on my PS3 but I don't see how that could only be effecting my Nexus 7 negatively and no other devices. If anyone has any ideas as to what I could do I would greatly appreciate it!

A kernel is what bridges hardware and software including the WiFi. You can try flashing a custom kernel and/or ROM to fix your problem.

I'm having a similar issue. It's really annoying. I have an old router so I'm going to replace it and see if it gets better.
I have same issues with Linksys. Works great on other routers. I did a factory reset of the Linksys and it seems to be better.

Hi, I owned a tab pro 10.1, not rooted, screen mirroring (with my Samsung TV) works fine until I connect to vpn. Does anyone know why it happens and how to resolve this? I need the vpn to connect to netflix. Appreciate any help in advance. Thanks!
Same here!

I have got this problem too. I have a Samsung notes 3, stock rom and would love to use vpn and screen mirroring for the exact same reason. As a matter of fact, this issue affects anything that uses wifi direct. VPN and wifi direct do not work together, they seem incompatible after the update to 4.4.2 kitkat. This seems a serious bug that has been very seldom discussed. Is it possible our devices have something unusual?
Vpn screen mirroring allshare cast miracast wifi direct are all terms associated with this issue.
Hi did you guys solved the problem. I too met with this issue after upgrading to kitkat. Am using note 8. Need some help from experts. Would like to watch uk programs on tv thru screen mirroring.
Is there any confirmed Android version this used to work. It's so important to me, I think I would even downgrade.
Of course it would be a lot better if there was a general solution to this problem. It seems that all trafic even the screen mirroring itself gets routed to the new address.

I had same problem when my s4 updated to 4.4.2 so I think 4.4.1 should work. Any ideas where I can find that version and change it on my phone as I used to use vpn and allshare cast together all the time?
VPN is point to point tunneling. Therefore, it is proper to close off all other IPC channels. It is functioning property.

I second that. First of all, it used to work just fine according to a couple of forum members.
Furthermore VPN is a VIRTUAL private network, making you appear, you had another IP adress to the outside world. In your local network, everything else should work.

Any update on this guys? A pain in the t*ts. Its effecting my s4 & s5 both 4.4.2 rooted. A rooted s3 on a lower FW works ok but i don't want to have to keep the s3 just for that. As others posted only fails after you connect to a VPN and I need it for the same reason as others i.e. different regions of netflix.
screen mirroring
Hello, any update regarding this issue?, any ideas if this is gonna be fixed on the 5.0 lollipop update? one last question is there an aosp rom out there for the 12.2 or note 8.0 or S5 that supports screen mirroring that i can try to fix this issue, to have vpn and screen mirroring on at the same time? thank you and sorry for my poor English.
Screen Mirroring + VPN isn't working since KitKat (was working fine with Jelly Bean) for all Samsung devices (as far as I know).
There is no solution for sure as downgrade (wasn't able to do so on Galaxy Note 10.1 2014) was reported as not fixing the issue (as issue seems to be in the Kernel).
VPN with Lollipop seems quite uncertain (add new feature to select which App should use VPN or not, but lot of complaints of people about VPN simply not working).
I'm crossing fingers and I hope someone will have good news soon.
So i had this problem until i downloaded the boxpn app and miracast shortcut app. You have to have an account with boxpn but it's only 38 for 12 months. So i turn on my Samsung tv, i have a galaxy s6. Open the miracast app then turn on the vpn and it works fine. Screen mirroring and vpn
I like to stream but I can not stream and use vpn when I use screen mirroring on my phone I have a Samsung Galaxy grand is there a solution
I have tried this effort using box VPN and Miracast at the same time. It didn't worked and disconnect from WiFi.
There is only one solution for this problem you can use USB cable screenmirroring and from this if you connect with vpn it will not disconnect for reference you can checkout youtube that how to use screen mirroring using USB . Hence problem solved enjoy
Just exclude Android System from your VPN connection if your VPN app the functionality of excluding selected apps.
I had this problem for years and just suddenly came up with this idea.
