I have a j2ME phone.
When I pair it with my laptop, I can use the phone to connect to connect internet using mobile broadband connection (I pick my provider in a list on the laptop to autocomplete the parameters).
However when I pair it on my Samsung Galaxy tab S, I don't have this option, even when there is no Wi-Fi access point.
There are lot of apps to convert you android phone into a server for this. But I own a tablet with android 4.4 (only Wi-Fi and bluetooth connection), and I would like to use my classic mobile phone as access point over bluetooth. I know how to configure the phone since I already use it on my Linux laptop. But I don’t know how to use my tablet as a DUN client, and I couldn’t find an app on the play store for that.
For those who still can’t understand what is beeing asked here, here’s a tutorial I use for a non wizard tethering on Debian (I couldn’t find an android equivalent).
So, how I can connect Samsung galaxy tab S 8.4 to internet over bluetooth with my mobile phone's connection?
Here’s my provider parameters in my case :
dial-up number value : "*99#"
APN value : "Free"
Authentication method : Store
Username value : "Free"
Password value : "Free"
DUN channel value : "0"
Connection method : GPRS
PIN method : Store
PIN value : null
Provider proxy address value : "212.27.40.225"
Provider proxy port value : "80"
But on most OS, (for laptop, including old windows) you just get a country selector, then you pick-up your mobile provider in a list and the connection parameters are filled up for you.
This is done with an official bluetooth profile which is described here (since there are non-standard methods which require to install software on the phone).
Update : I finally discovered that my tablet can thether using bluetooth PAN but that my phone only support bluetooth DUN. So an alternative would be to find a j2ME app for make the phone bluetooth PAN enabled.
BT/DUN is born togheter with Bluetooth, and quite ANY 2G/3G phones with BTooth should implement it (iPhones and android phones do not implement it off the shelf)
looks like they also don’t implement client on tabs. – user2284570 – 2015-01-06T13:16:48.980@fixer1234 Why? This is a software problem. I would have said the same for changing the keyboard layout on windows. the answer doesn't bring any solutions and is wrong by saying it is impossible to do anything without rooting (at least not for free). – user2284570 – 2015-07-08T23:53:34.153
@fixer : Yes but at that point a j2ME solution would be better, and android users simply tell to enable Wi-Fi on the phone which I can't do. There is no place for Super User questions about j2ME. – user2284570 – 2015-07-09T08:16:58.270

@fixer1234 Solved.
– user2284570 – 2015-07-09T12:50:43.080Sorry, but this is a site for computer problems and not *"electronic devices, media players, cell phones or smart phones, except insofar as they interface with your computer" while your tablet may the technically be a computer it has the same limitations as a smartphone. In this case though the problem is with your "j2ME" phone and Android which places it even further off topic. If you were asking about your desktop then this would be the right place but as you mention that just works... – Mokubai – 2015-07-18T07:20:07.627
@Mokubai : Yes android.SE told to enable ᴡi‑ꜰi on the phone or install android apps on it. Looks like there is currently no place for such question on Stack Exchange.
– user2284570 – 2015-07-18T09:48:56.073Yes, if Android.SE cannot give you an acceptable solution from the tablet side, and your computer works fine with it then the problem is with your feature phone. There are many topics where there is no right place within SE, not everything fits into nice little pidgeon holes. – Mokubai – 2015-07-18T10:24:49.500
