The problem is solved as reported here: (patches bluez-4.101-network[1-4].patch)

I updated the PKGBUILD and can report that afterwards with those patches enabled the tethering functions properly.

There's a new bug report - the most important change is the renaming of the package from bluez to bluez4.

Hey, just registered to thank you! Just installed your patched package, now my android phone works perfectly well in bluetooth internet tethering. I've had this problem for several weeks now.
