Hi,
Is it possible to connect to internet over another phone (a nokia) using bluetooth DUN ?
Thx.
any ideas ?
I am tryingto search but can't find the correct words. Everytime I find results with opposite side connection.
I don't want to share internet connection from Dell Streak. I want to use a bluetooth modem to connect to internet.
This is using the serial profile of BT.
it shouldn't be really that hard. Please say "yes, possible" or "no, not yet"
You forgot "" I Dont Know " and im sorry mate but dont know
but, isn't there any settings menu to configure connections ? on that menu there must be some option to select an external bt modem.
no ?
I found this:
http://android.gval.biz/
So, I guess it's not supported internally...
A confirmation would be nice to have !
Sorry, I posted a similar question above, not fully understanding your initial question. I believe we're asking the same thing, so I'll try to shutdown that thread.

hey guys heres abit of unusal question? (to be honest i dont think any of us ask any usual questions )
anyway what im trying to do is find out if there is a way to force a pda when its trying to connect to the internet to first check if internet is avaible through active sync (cradle or usb cable) then to check if WIFI is avaible then if thats not avaible to use gprs - but to use gprs as a last resort.
so the way it will work is an application needs to connect to the internet it first is forced to check for a connection through active sync if thats not avaible then to see if there can be a wifi conenction established if that fails then to connect to gprs and in the order.
i was hoping i could find what scrpits are used when the connections are established and then make a script to run the will force the device to do this.
Or even if there is a reg edit that I can do that will allow me to get this done? (would regedits be possable for this)
Id appericate your thoughts on this guys?
p.s il also go post this in the genaral networking section of the forum, as i would like to do this across board on any device (wm5/wm6)
well- i can solve half that...
you don't need a script or anything for the cradle side of things- just set activesync's Connections (File->Connection Settings->) and Uncheck "allow wireless connection on device when connected to desktop"
This wil force the device to use the activesync connection for the data.
Now- if only we could make it do that on wifi...
For what it's worth- I use NoData whenever I'm home and using my Wifi connection. It's a minor step to make sure I'm not burning up the data dollars- and the wifi is fast as heck.
dude thanks for the reply lol loveeeeee that cat you got one bad ass *****!
yeh i know about the active sync side of things,
I know it sounds silly and "why do you want to do that" kind of a question,
but im going to be supporting alot of devices and having something preform this task in that order would be a great help to me.
I dont think il get the answer for it, but hey this is XDA DEVEPLOERS!!!!!!
and mighter things have been done on this website by the users!!!!!
peace out
Hey
I have an Ameo; running AP4 and radio version 1.50
I can turn on wireless and it says wireless is available however thats it, i cant connect to anything nor use MSN or anything like that.
So i played around with it. I seen within some setting (network cards i think) that i had 2 wireless showing saying 'available' so i clicked connect and it said 'connecting' and then goes back to avilable and after a few attempts, unavilable.
My wifi is not secured, anyone can connect. Any help appreciated
Now as for the AP4 question when i turn my ameo around, the screen layout switches how can i turn the automated switch off ?
thanks

Start, settings, connections, wifi, network adaptors tab.
Under 'My network card connects to' ensure it says 'The Internet' and not 'Work'.
I flashed the AP4 ROM on T-Mobile Ameo. There is no chance to start Wireless. There is only a WLAN-Ícon but no WIFI-Icon
but without this the AP4 Rom is very great...

Hi Baby1111,
This ist not the solution for most of the Wifi-Problems i think. In my case the Symbol wich looks like WIFI ist named "Network Card". If I change to Internet instead of work nothing changes. WIFI does not turn on.
I saw the name of device in Bootloader ist ATHE400
Here my bootloader Information in the red bar:
ATHE400
IPL-v1.00
ATHE400 MFG
SPL-v3.50.OliNex
maybe this can be a problem, before i think ist was ATHE100. Also the TOMTOM 6 requests a new activation so somthing seems to be changed with the IMEI or so.
by reading the forum there if found 3 Cases for solution:
1. this one Change from Work to Internet ->> No scuccess in my situation
2. disable the automatic screen orientation ->> no complete Instruction how to do this or i can not understand it.
3. Sent the MAC-Adress of the device to Senior users like OLIPRO and get a file to change. ->> I dont know if they are glad to get much support requests.
I hope there will be a fix wich i can do by myself without disturbing the gurus at there great work.

@ Bit117 and Baby111
I can assist you if your WiFi did not properly configure during the flashing of AP4 instead of Olipro and cmonex (Olinex) who we'd like to have working on higher issues.
Send me a PM with your original MAC address and an e-mail address where I can send you a custom file configured to your device. I will also send detailed step-by-step instructions to fix your device. You will need to use MTTY so if you don't have that, find it in the wiki.
Regards,
Raskell
p.s. - If you do not know your original MAC address, check inside your battery door. On some models it is listed there (not the same as IMEI). Others have reported that flashing back to the modified AP3 gives a working Wifi. If this is so for you, get your MAC address from there and reflash to AP4, sending me the MAC info and we'll get you working!

Yes, this is obviously not a fix for those whose wifi will not turn on.
But I've come across a few people who think their wifi is not working because this setting is wrong, and when I installed AP4 it set it to 'Work' by default.

I have tried with no sim card, 3g sim card and an o2 sim card. No Luck
Please help.
As for screen auto orientation, sorted that

I would re-flash the 1.50 or change to 1.57 radio, if I were you.
I’ve tried out all wireless with 1.57 radio in mine after having AP4,
all reception excellent. Very impressed particularly on the Bluetooth range.
where can i get 1.57 my mate?
thanks

wifi problem
i can not connect my network wireless. i have download the RUU_signed file.so how to change the radio with that file? sorry i don't know about it?
problem
i connected with by wireless but when i put an URL address in the Internet Explorer and an error appear "The adress is not valid.Check the address and try agian" how to fix it?
I bought my first smartphone ever last month to give you an idea how new I am. My last phone was a Touch that I had set up to allow tethering... but I had to upgrade my phone. I need my tethering back, and I prefer not going through a program like pda-net.
So, I read that if I root the phone, I'd have tethering back. I used Revolutionary. I backed up my phone. I installed clockwork and superuser. I think I did everything I'm supposed to do. However, when I plug the phone in (I prefer USB tethering) and click the "Internet Connection Mode", I still get the message I need to subscribe for $20 a month, and I don't get a connection. Do I need to do something else to enable wired tethering? Do I have to install a 3rd party program as well? Or is it that I haven't installed a custom ROM/Kernel/Radio/Whatever would be the right thing?
The phone is a Thunderbolt. HTC Sense 2.1, Software #2.11.605.5, Android version 2.3.4.
I really don't have much of an idea what I'm talking about, so if anyone has any fairly easy answers, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for any help.
Find my WiFi tether thread and follow instructions

Do what lantern says. Just rooting does not unlock the built in internet sharing apps. You need to get the apps that do what you want now. I.e. wireless tether, you might like wired but wireless is very nice.

Grnlantern79,
Well, I've tried following your instructions on the other thread. I downloaded the .apk you had listed.
That took me an hour to figure out how to install... didn't know I needed to install another program to install something from a memory card.
As for these instructions:
"Mine did not work until I changed the device profile to Thunderbolt in settings.
Then I changed a few other settings such as
Force WiFi driver reloading (check) *has worked for some*
Routing fix (check) *most important one*
Disable wake-lock (unchecked) -> *this is why you lose connection after your screen turns off*"
I can't for the life of me find where any of these are. I've spent a good amount of time trying to find them, and just can't seem to find a settings section.
Then I tried Autotethering and WiFi Tether from the Market. It doesn't matter which I use, when I hit "Internet Connection Mode" the Verizon $20 to use message pops up. I tried on two computers, and both will see something there, but not connect to the internet. I tried connecting without selecting that, but it still didn't work (had it on "charge only").
I'm very frustrated... I've spent hours working on this and don't feel like I'm making any progress. I appreciate you attempting to help via that other thread, but I'm lost. If you have any way of giving me a more detailed explanation of how to get this to work, I would greatly appreciate it.
If I just install some new ROM and not work off the rooted stock one I have, would they come with the tethering block from Verizon disabled?
Thanks for any advice.
Telaeus
When you open WiFi tether press menu the soft key at bottom of your phone, the settings will pop up.
Device profile = thunderbolt
Routing fix = check box
Enable access control
Now I can tell you are not tech savy so this is where my help stops. If you can't find the settings in a program after an hour, you should think about return your smart phone for a feature phone.

Well, thanks for trying to help then Grnlantern79. I had misunderstood where to look for the settings. Figured it was settings on the phone itself I was changing to bypass the Verizon Internet Connection thing.
I changed all the settings in WiFi tether. Still no luck. The computer recognizes the network... I set it to Public. It's listed as HTC Remote NDIS Based Device. However, there is no Internet or Network access. I'm not putting it to "internet connection mode" since the Verizon popup has never gone away... leaving it on Charge only.
If anyone else is willing to try and assist me, I would appreciate it. I fully admit to not being smartphone savvy. However, I'm not incapable as Lantern implies... I've built my own computers since 1993, and can diagnose and do pretty much anything hardware related. Unfortunately, smartphones are different, and I'm still getting up to speed on all the terminology and uses of them.
So, thanks Lantern... but is anyone else able to figure out why this isn't working?
Thanks for any help.

Hello everybody,
I've looked all over the web trying to find a solution for this particular problem but I'm yet to find a solution and I hope you nice fellows at XDA can help me out.
My situtation is that whenever I connect my phone to my computer, all goes well, until I tap that nasty little 'USB Tethering' button, then all goes to hell. My computer then can't find my until I disable it again.
Transferring files over works flawlessly, all works well until I press USB tethering.
So my question is, how do I fix this? I need this to work for me to use my computers internet connection on my phone.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
~Filb
P.S. I'm on CM9 Nightlies.
EDIT: I have USB debugging enabled, without it my computer can't find my phone whatsoever. All the correct drivers are installed (via Kies recently).
EDIT 2: Ok, now my computer recognizes my device when I enable USB tethering. But when I check the network, it says that it's an 'Unidentified Network'.
Still in need of help.
Anybody?
This is a forum, not an instant help IM client. If someone hasn't responded to your inquiry yet, it's because no one who knows the answer to your question has read your post yet. When someone does, they will answer.
And that's not what usb tethering does. Usb tethering lets you use your phone's internet on your computer. Sounds like you want to reverse tether.
I posted the above post so my thread doesn't get lost, and if somebody knows the answer, then they'd see the post instead of it being lost, and me never getting any help.
I do want to reverse tether, but I can't do that until this problem is fixed.
EDIT: And me thinking this is a Q&A forum, silly me.
ctomgee answered your question. Turn off USB tethering. Thats used to connect a laptop/PC to the internet through your phone. It has nothing to do with browsing or copying your files from phone to PC.

I didn't say anything about this NOT being a Q&A forum. But bumping your thread after only 3 hours is ridiculously impatient, and technically violates one of the forum rules.
Also, I'm not positive since I don't actually use reverse tether, but I'm fairly certain you don't do it by turning on usb tethering.
I tried it as some user posted about some app from market, but it never worked.
As far I think, reverse tether doesn't work on s2
I bumped my post because it went to second page, I guess that's a little impatient and I'm sorry about that.
Regarding the reverse tether, USB tethering must be enabled to use the app 'Reverse Tether', so that's where the problem is.
@Bored_Stupid My problem isn't transferring files, that works fine. It's just when I enable USB tethering, the connection from my phone to my pc is lost therefore disabling me from using the app I need for reverse tether.

Are you talking about this app? As far as I can tell, you are NOT supposed to activate USB tethering to use this app. Is that not accurate? Or am I reading it wrong?
EDIT: I just watched the video. The app actually activates tethering when you turn it on. Sorry. Well, maybe this is an issue with CM9? I dunno. Try checking the CM9 nightlies discussion thread.
Yup, that's the app.
You must have USB tethering enabled for the reverse tether process to initiate, otherwise it won't start.
I don't think it's CM9 as it was working a few days ago when I just flashed the ROM, but I'll check anyway.
Hey there, I have been trying all kind of ssh-tunnel apps in the market but none seem to be smart enough:
I want to automatically route all my phones traffic through an ssh-tunnel as soon as my phone connects to a wifi which is NOT on my trusted list.
The common "SSH-Tunnel" has a similiar future but just the other way (which makes it useless when looking at it from the security-perspective) -> it will connect to the ssh-tunnel once you connect to a wifi you selected. Which is useless, a wifi which i select is most likely trusted.. I want the ssh-tunnel on everything I don't trust
Anyone can recommend smth ?
Thanks
No one ?
I am still looking for a solution to this
