Last updated August 5th, 2025
Environment
- Knox SDK
- Devices running One UI 6.0 or One UI 6.1
Overview
You may encounter an issue while attempting to modify the parameter of the setBluetoothTethering() API method from false to true, resulting in the Bluetooth tethering feature to remain unavailable on the device.
The setBluetoothTethering() method was deprecated in API level 35 and is no longer recommended for use.
Resolution
An issue was discovered in One UI versions 6.0 and 6.1, preventing the policy from being implemented successfully when the parameter of the setBluetoothTethering() API method is set to true.
The issue is resolved in One UI 6.1.1.
To resolve this issue, please update your devices to run One UI 6.1.1 or higher.
If an update isn’t possible, please reboot your device.
