Windows 8 - Android Bluetooth Tether

Scenario

• You are tethering an Android phone using the free FoxFi or PDANet Bluetooth dial up modem
• You have already installed the software on your computer and on your phone.

Issue

• The simple Bluetooth connect button is not available from the Bluetooth device screen as it was in Windows 7

Resolution

• You must connect as a Dial up connection and specify "*99#" as the phone number
• First start the FoxFi or PDANet Bluetooth app from your phone
• Go to your Networks settings (Mouse: Bottom right corner+up/settings/internet access/dial-up-connection)
• Enter in *99# in the phone number, ensure your phone is selected as the device, and select connect
