I updated my 8525 with the official AT&T AKU 3.5.2. When I enable Internet Sharing and connect the phone via USB to my Mac, it kills Bluetooth and nothing happens.
With AKU 3.3, this was not an issue. I tried it on a Macbook Pro and a Macbook with the same result. No problem using Bluetooth PAN, but slow.
Just for the fun of it, I tried Internet Sharing with Windows XP running in Parallels, and it works fine via USB cable.
Anyone having the same issue? Any registry hacks or drivers to solve the problem?
Thanks in advance.

There must be a Mac user here who upgraded t AKU 3.5.
What do you mean by "it kills Bluetooth and nothing happens"?
Does it kill your bluetooth on your mac or on your 8525?
Are you trying to both do internet sharing via USB and connect to your Mac via Bluetooth from your 8525 at the same time?

After I enable ICS on my 8525, and connect the USB cable to MAC, somehow, the bluetooth on my MAC gets disabled [Bluetooth Not Avaible message with the icon grey out], and my 8525 still says "check USB cable". But, there's no connection. I made sure that BT is disabled on my phone, and PC to USB is unchecked.
Just as a test, I connected my 8525 to another MAC that doesn't even have Missing Sync and the same thing happened. With ICS on, USB connection basically disables Bluetooth. For the life of me, I cannot figure out why that happens. USB shouldn't interfere with Bluetooth.
In the meantime, it works fine with PC.
Hope someone can shed some insight.

I see the same thing on AKU 3.5 and Tiger 10.4.9 when I just tried it. Once 10.4.9 came out and supported PAN, I stopped using the USB connection. I still get 400kbps or so with Bluetooth, so there's I don't really have a reason to use USB (plus the Hermes drains a MacBook Pro's battery rather fast - I can drain a notebook battery in an hour with the phone plugged in vs. 3 hours without).
Jmat, thanks for the reply. It's good to know that it's not just my phone. I hope this can be fixed though. I do use BT PAN with OS X 10.4.9, but it would be nice to have the USB option since it's about 2x faster.
I cannot understand why USB connection would wipe out Bluetooth on my MAC though.
I know someone here will figure it out.
eh, 10.4.9 supports pan? news to me. i use my pc more than my mac, so i think i only have 10.4.8. i have the latest aku (as far as i know) from the newest cingular rom. i'll give it a shot.
Internet Sharing + OS X
I was able to tether 8525 to powerbook G4 thru bluetooth for internet connection. Then clicking the dropdown for the phone icon and clicking bluetooth. It would dial then authenticate, and I would be connected to the internet. In doing that, I needed to download Tytn modem script for mac modem, it worked great! However, I recently upgraded the ROM (2.06)on the 8525, and now Internet Sharing is the protocol for for Wireless Modem. This method directs the device to connect thru bluetooth by joining the network associated with the Pocket PC, once connected in the bluetooth icon dropdown, I try to access webpages and I get "Not Connected to the Internet."
I've heard of AKU, can someone please refresh my memory, and will it be necessary to update to correct my issue?
Can someone please assist me with using the 8525 to tether with a Powerbook G4 to connect to the internet?
**NOTE** Also, MissingSync for 8525 does not work since the ROM update. I was never successful connecting to it thru BT, but it worked great thru USB. Now I try to connect thru USB , the connection is lost when attempting to start MissingSync app. Any Ideas??
Thank you

Internet Sharing + OSX
I've been using my Hermes to connect to the internet from my powerbook for a few month (BT connection). It was working OK although conflicting with direct push.
Since I upgraded to AKU 3.3 and use internet sharing, it is now much more reliable, connects fast and transparently.
I recently got MissingSync to work, by enabling advanced USB settings thru the phone.
My other issue that is still unresolved is that when I connect the BT PAN from the phone, and join network from the BT setting from the MAC, I connect successfully, but I still can not access internet on MAC. It appears that there are internal settings that need to be altered to access web pages once connected thru BT PAN/Internet share? Any Ideas, please help! Thank you.

Can you tell me how you set up the connection? I've paired my Hermes and Powerbook, turned internet sharing on, I can join the PAN network but the Powerbook refuses to connect to the internet.
PB PAN
Have you set your network conf to Automatic?
Is a well known problem since WM5 AKU 3.0, DUN disappeared (Dial Up Network, using WM as remote modem, via Activesync or BT)
Any TOM TOM Go and TOM TOM One, (not used by ATHENA users, we have our GPS) need IT to be connected with the PDA. In some cases DUN could be usefull also for Athena users, but it was removed from latest WM5 and WM6 Rom (the majority of Nokia and Sony smartphones have it)
Now someone here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1351044&postcount=21 posted the .cab to restore it on a TyTN.
Sleuth put it on his new rom, I've tested on my X7500 (HTC WM6 rom) and I am having some config problem on the USB side...
My be it could be interesting also for some ATHENA user
tried on my touch and tried to dial from my athena with *99# and didnt work..
Maybe I'm missing something, but why don't you set up a modem in Settings > Connections > Connections > Tasks > Add a new modem connection? Just need an APN, user name and password, which vary depending on your ISP (I have AT&T). Modem string and *99# no longer necessary.
If you want to use your Athena as a modem for your laptop, either through a USB or Bluetooth connection, just use Internet Sharing under Programs.
im trying to share between ppc to ppc ...
hy,
I cannot connect athena100 to tomtom go910.
I upgrades WM5 to WM6, I installes BT_DUN, tries several ways, but it doesn't work, I always got a message of DUN-connection problem;
I managed perfectly well on touch, but I have no succes with atnena100;
could you help me?
I'd say use wmwifirouter for this. It will work perfectly for internet sharing with about anything around you over usb BT or wifi
Thank you Astain, but I need a DUN-connection because TomTom does not use ICS.
Do you have a solution for that?
Alright i just got a at&t 8525, the internet works when connected through wifi and the phone works.. but it will not give me a data connection through at&t. I updated it to black satin after using hard spl (the internet worked fine b4 this but stopped after this point). I then used AUTO_Unlock_v3a.bat to sim unlock it, then ran hard spl again, and installed BlueCalm_WWE_V10.. still no data connection... Is it my radio rom ??? thanks for any help
Did you run the Connection Setup cab?
I found the settings and input them into my phone... it works fine now thanks for the help

That's what the Connection Setup would've done
Anyhow, glad you got it working.
The connection setup that came with the rom didn't work... it only worked when i put them in manually
Hey all
Used to have an s730 and used it with a Tom Tom 720 with data over the bluetooth connection. I did this by installing the BTDUN.cab that is floating around on these forums. It worked fine for this and never had a problem
My s730 broke and was replaced with a s740. I've installed the same CAB and although TomTom can see it has a data connection it just does not always work. Some days I can't get data at all and other times data only works for 5 mins for dying.
Anyone got any ideas. HTC said the device only support PAN connections vs TomTom's using DUN connections and I said use a different device.
Anyone know if a s730 firmware can be used?
Thanks
AFAIK you cannot (easily and without any trouble) ass DUN bluetooth profile in Windows Mobile 6. There was the cab, but it causes a lot of trouble and is not compatible with all ROMs/devices. Internet access in WM6 is no longer DUN, not it uses Internet Sharing app and PAN profile.
And no, you cannot exchange firmwares between devices. So far you cannot even install any alternative firmware on Rose, because we still do not have HardSPL (but there is one person that is working on this now). But still you should not expect DUN working in WM6.

Have bought Archos device to use my HD2 as a source of internet, but till now there is no chance to make A70 see HD2 as Wi-Fi router (have tested Galaxy Tab - the same result, device do not see HD2). Tethering via BT is also failed - Archos is paired with HD2 but not connected.
Is there any solutions how to make Archos working through HD2 connection to Internet?
Works for me running froyo on my hd2
Yes, I know that it is possible while running Android, but I wanted to have one device with WP and another one with Android.
Have received info from WiFi Analizer app that HD2 is using Ad Hoc that is not supported by Android yet , so no chance for me. So will try to use BT thethering which is also not simple with Leo.
Is there anybody who succed to make work internet through BT thethering - have paired and once I succed to connect both devices, but even then browser failed to load pages
Make sure you're not trying to connect in the bluetooth setting - once its paired click on the 'tether' tab and assuming the apn details that you entered are correct it should just work
Bluetooth tethering works fine for me. I have Htc Hd2 on wm6.5 just put tmobile in apn settings should work was able to use it the other day to watch nfl on slingplayer. if i recall correctly i just paired it via bluetooth first then i went to the bluetooth tether and checked it on. try that.
