I have a family share plan w/ AT&T with tethering enabled; however, while WiFi and USB is available, bluetooth is not visible. I've been searching every where and haven't seen a solution for the AT&T Note 3 yet, but I did come across this thread for the S4 that uses a modified framework.res.apk file

From what I can tell from the script, couldn't this be ported to the AT&T Note 3 build?

Any thoughts?

I'm using PdaNet+ to BT tether internet to my Galaxy Gear. Gear uses PdaNet. I am running stock.

AT&T removed BT tethering, tried porting it over awhile ago but could never get it to work. Flash an Int'l ROM like X Note or wait for someone to actually mod it to work.

Edit: or follow the above and download an app that let's you tether through Bluetooth. They aren't going to be as battery friendly but a lot less of a hassle than flashing ROMs.

Thanks... I have been able to decompile and edit the framework-res.apk file on MJ5 to get the Bluetooth Tether option to show up and be able to be selected but the issue I am running into now is that it doesn't seem to broadcast the appropriate Bluetooth profiles. More to come.

...so I gave up for the time being and installed the AT&T port of XNote via SafeStrap because I couldn't find enough information on how to enable the missing BT stack. Will likely revisit at some point. Thanks!
