My android does a pretty good job doing a bluetooth tether for my PC (in which PC shares my Android's internet), but I was wondering how to get another Android device to connect/tether to it (my first android device)?

You can do this easily by pairing the devices and enabling data on the first device. Steps are listed below.
Enable bluetooth on both the devices. (Obvious!)
Then, pair them up by clicking “Search for devices” on one of the devices and clicking on the name of other device. You’ll be asked to verify a PIN number. It doesn’t matter what the PIN number is, as long as it’s the same PIN number on both devices.
Go to Settings, choose
More
then chooseTethering & Portable Hotspot
. In there, you have tickBluetooth tethering
. If you don’t, the tether will not work!On the second device, go to
Setting
s, then click on the wordBluetooth
(not the toggle – the word). Finally, click on the name of your second device you paired earlier. To get it all working, chooseInternet Access
.Now you should be able to use the data connection of your first device.

I did try that. What version Android is this? On my devices (4.1 & ~2.x) it just shows "File Transfer" (step#4) (on either devices, doesn't matter which phone's connection I share to whom) Jul 25, 2013 at 2:27

@laggingreflex This should be available the devices running at GB or above. Screenshots aee from a Galaxy Nexus phone.– SidJul 25, 2013 at 3:55
