I tried tethering my Galaxy Tab A 2016 Model SM-T580 to my Moto G phone without success. The phone is all set up with Bluetooth tethering switched on in Hotspot & Tethering. I have switched on Nearby Device Scanning in More Connection Settings as I can't see any other option that I think is relevant.
QUESTION to any Tab A users:
Is tethering possible with the Tab A.
If so. how do I set it up.

Hi, thanks for replying.
I have set up WI-FI Hotspot name and password on my Moto G phone. My ID Network allows tethering. I'm not sure where and how I set up tethering on my Galaxy Tab A. Except for my WI-FI the only other connection I can use is Bluetooth. I use it successfully to transfer files between the two devices.
I have Nearby Device Scanning turned ON on More Connection Settings but a connection is not happening.
Can my Tablet be used for tethering to the phone. I'm starting to think it's not possible.

Can you make clear which is it you are having hassle with, record sharing between gadgets or using your telephones facts connection with your pill?

I'm trying to set up a mobile hotspot on my phone so I can tether my Tab A to use the internet. I only used the example of transferring files by bluetooth to explain that scanning works for that.
I have easily set up my Moto G phone as a mobile hotspot. I have given it a name and set a password. It is turned ON.
I think it's just waiting for someone to find it but what do I know I have never tried doing this before.
My Galaxy Tab A 2016 Model SM-T580 is a different matter. That is why I'm posting here.
I can't find any menu item or link for tethering or hotspots. That is why I asked "Is tethering possible with the Tab A". I thought other users of Galaxy Tab A 2016 Model SM-T580 would be able to tell me.
This is what I have done on the Tab A but it hasn't worked.
Under Connections, I selected More Connection Settings. Then I selected Nearby Device Scanning which is switched to ON. There is a little grey screen 'searching' or its flickering.
I think this hasn't worked because my Tab A can not tether.

I tried that but it's not discovering any hotspot.
