bt-tether
bt-tether is a small script that enables your Jolla Phone to share its mobile internet connection over PAN Bluetooth Tethering. I could not find any software that did that realiably on up-to-date SailfishOS so I tried my hand at it.
Please note: bt-tether most probably only works on Jolla Phone 1 and Jolla C. (because it requires BlueZ version 4)
It is quite experimental and a little hacky. It’s only been tested on my Jolla Phone 1 in developer mode. I’m distributing it here without any warranty, however I’d be glad to receive feedback, bug reports and pull requests; I’ll do my best to improve it.
How to use:
- Download and install the package
- Pair your device with the phone (unpair and pair agaiir if it was already paired before bt-tether was installed).
- On your device, request network from the phone in some Bluetooth menu.
- Voilà!
The README file contains more information and notes.
Sadly I’m pretty sure this software won’t work with Xperia X phones or any phone that uses Bluez version 5.
I hope bt-tether will work well for you! You can use bt-tether’s GitHub page for bug reports and pull requests.

Fixed problem when sometimes the phone will not advertize PAN capability to newly paired devices while already paired devices will still be able to use it.
