Macbook Leopard and Bluetooth GPRS

Has anyone managed to browse the net using their Wizard with the Macbook Leopard via their Bluetooth? I know its possible but I am just not managing. Any help/pointers? Thanks in advance.

Figured it out.
No worries I figured it all out...

How?? Can you share?

Followed this guide..
Well I followed this guide I found after a little googling:
http://justinblanton.com/2006/01/mac-os-x-windows-mobile-bluetooth-modem
One has to download certain drivers available here (as the wonderful article above will explain):
http://www.taniwha.org.uk/
The issue I was having was trying to dial *9***1# (which my service provider had given)
Whereas I changed it to *99# (as the article suggested)
and entered username as [email protected]
and password: yourserviceprovider.
And it worked!
All the best to you, let me know if you succeeded.

doesn't that end up making you pay to connect? I want to do the same thing but dial my local ISP (407.896.XXXX, a local dial up number)
another question I have been trying to solve is how to use a 4gig micro SD chip on a Cingular 8125(Wizard)

Well the configuration that I have mentioned is for GPRS for which you are anyway paying according to your mobile service provider's plan. Connecting via bluetooth you only access your mobile GPRS on the Mac, you pay whatever your mobile service charges you for accessing GPRS via mobile phone. As regards the dial up, I guess you would have to buy the Mac USB modem, then you can dial-in to your ISP.

This answer I do not know since I use a 2gig card which at the moment is more than sufficient.

I've got an easier method that doesn't involve needing to mess with the Mac's bluetooth settings very much...IF you have Internet Sharing on your phone
(which seems to be included in most of the roms I see kicking around this place...)
You also don't need to install any scripts or do much other mucking about...
1. Pair your devices through the usual methods
2. launch internet sharing, select "bluetooh PAN" for PC Connection and hit connect
3. go to the mac's bluetooth settings and select your phone, then hit the 'gear' at the bottom of that menu; click 'connect to network.'
Viola! Internet access without much work!
I feel like I may have oversimplified or missed a step, let me know if you have problems!
BTW--this was done using a VERY recent macbook and dferria's WM5 Touch Rom v 5.0 w/AT&T USA. Your results may vary!

Thanks for adding that information, I guess the method I found is for ROMs which don't have the PAN sharing option. Like mine. At least I couldn't find it.

How to use a Kaiser as a 3G modem for laptop

Is it possible to use my Kaiser to connect my laptop to the internet to make browsing easier than looking at the small phone screen. If so what software/hardware do I need.
Thanks

hmm ... did u search or bother reading the manual that came w/ the kaiser?
the answer is yes and ur carrier will charge extra for this ... unless u r smart and don't download 10gb of data using ur phone.

Umm....yes. It's in the owner's manual that came with your device. The program is Internet Sharing.
Hardware needed= 1xKaiser and 1xLaptop/PC
Software needed=Bluetooth on Laptop/PC
Method:
1. Enable visible bluetooth on Kaiser
2. Enable visible bluetooth on Laptop/PC
3. Go to START>PROGRAMS>INTERNET SHARING on the Kaiser and CONNECT
4. On Vista go to Network connections panel and choose Connect to PAN Buetooth network.
Should be done. Just beware of your data usage as you could run up a heck of a bill if you go crazy surfing and downloading.

I don't see why you would want to do that. A computer is way cooler then a silly xda.

When your PDA is connected to ActiveSync it gets access to the laptop's internet connection, so yes. Install ActiveSync and connect the phone. No partnership needed, guest is ok.

@kilrah
yeah that makes much sense but that doesnt work, do i need to configure something on my xp pc or something?

uh..doesn`t this defeat the purpose of unlimited data plan or are they really that bad? I pay $30 for the unlimited data plan with AT&T for 3G (even HSDPA) in my area. Heck my home DSL costs me about same and sometimes I download like tomorrow isn`t coming. lol.
Has anyone ever had a problem with this before?

go to settings->connection->usb to pc and check enable advanced network functionality

i am using dutty's diamond v1 which does not have internet sharing anymore. how do i put it back?

WMWifirouter is a great app for tethering. I use it all the time and version 1.20 comes with some great features for usb/BT tethering that kick the **** out of internet sharing that comes with WM

Not to be a complete smartass, but Bluetooth is a physical hardware radio device....not software ( via an internal card or USB adapter). I only mention this in the case the original poster ( who obviously didnt open his manual or do any sort of research ) thinks he can download a piece of software to make his PC have bluetooth.
Again, not flaming or picking a fight ....... just making sure he has no confusion

WiFi Confusion / Internet Sharing

So im pretty familiar with my AT&T tilt and have flashed/changed a few roms in and out but i cant seem to find an program for my needs anywhere.
I have currently just moved back home from college for the summer and we have a Wireless router which we use to connect our laptops to the internet. but my PC does not have a wireless card and i was expecting to be able to find a program that will allow my tilt to pick up the wireless internet from the router and transfer it to my PC over the USB cord. As of now i have been looking for days and have only found "internet sharing" applications which all use the Cellular Devices data plan as a substitution. but since thats not available to me ive hit a dead end when it comes to this issue.
maybe theirs an answer or program for my needs, or maybe their isnt. any help would be appreciated. thanks.

Why not just hardwire your PC to one of the ports on the wireless router?

Thanks JamesMB,
the distance where the pc is located isnt more than a few physical feet to the router through the ceiling , but if i were to run an ethernet cable to the pc it would have to take a rediculous path under carpet and up a winding staircase and across another room to access the PC. So its less of a matter of accessibililty and more one of practicality. good suggestion though.

Go on ebay and get yourself a used wireless b or g network card for 10.00 bucks. They are very cheap.

Such as this one... WiFi's so cheap now...

thanks, i was just looking for a quick fix. maybe a program or something because running out and buying a card was more of a second option. its only temporary so i figured if i can take full advantage of the tilts capabilities then why not.

any other ideas? or anyone else heard of a program of this sort?

I have never heard of this. I can't see why anyone would take the time to write a program with how cheap the wifi. I also don't think you could even buy a laptop without a wireless card for about 4 years.

You should learn to search better.
By typing in 'internet connection sharing kaiser usb' into google, in link #1, I was able to find a post by blahmartinblah with a link to a link to what you're asking for.
Go do the same and you'll get your app...

Bluetooth cardreader?

Hi,
I've allready tried a google-search on it, but without success.
Does anyone knows about a battery-driven cardreader or memorystick, which communicates over bluetooth (or wlan) - in order to avoid the memory-limits of the diamond?
This should be not so expensive or complicated cause cheap bluetooth-gps receivers one can get for about 30-40€ in Germany, for example, a similar memory-solution should be even more cheap to produce, I think.
A device like this could be used in other ways too - perhaps as a mini-data server, even if it would not allow multiple connections, it could be used as some kind of postbox.

Thanks for the business idea.

I hope someone else had this idea before and his products are only a little hard to find.
Otherwise - please send me a cheque, when you are finshed.

Searce for bluetooth storage:

Isnt this so cool? Im not paying for the Touch Pro anymore.

Thanks for the link - but D.A.V.E. (the name of this storage-device) has not found its way to the market, obviosely - only announcements from last year.

you may try to use an external case with LAN support, connect it to a wifi router and access it via the total commander LAN-Plugin
this is working quite well for me
i can access my whole audiolibrary stored on a external storage yonnected to my router

Thought about that, but its not for the go. I think about a device, as small, or smaller than a GPS-mouse with built in li-ion battery. The battery would last very longand can be small, cause you only have to switch the device on for transfers.
p.s.: See what you mean - to receive data via IP-connection from home - but this can get slow and very expensive. My data-flat is only for my home-country.

Nice idea.

As with D.A.V.E. - only announcemtents of last year. Perhaps industry needs some time to put out the final devices onto the market - perhaps marketing directors decieded to cancel productions because of most PDA's and phones have memory-slots and cards are getting cheaper and bigger every month.

or maybe the idea is not so good after all :-(

For a diamond-user - it's a good one, I think.

SD BT and WiFi Lessons Learned on WM Side

I ported the complete registry entries from HTC Fuze to HTC Shift filling all the missing keys in Shift regarding BT, WiFi, SD and USB. This did not change the functionality of WM at all, i.e. it did not recognize any of those except the USB for ActiveSync, which is normal. No strange behavior. I compared the dlls that are references like SDMemory, btfsd, encfilt etc. They are similar. Now I wonder these things may be hardwired to the main MB instead of the WM side and WM is a daughter to MB something like a modem card. I may be wrong also. I am not giving up. I want to explore if I could use BT, WiFi and SD if vista is turned on. I know we could use SD Card as a network storage using totalcommander or any other tool if vista is turned on, but I want to use it as a local storage instead of network storage. I will keep you posted.
--Ram--

Gospeed to your work !
(Title should read: Godspeed to your work)
If anyone knows the address of one of the senior HTC engineers responsible for designing the HTC Shift,
we could then simply hold the guy hostage until he reveals his secrets.
Or maybe we can offer a bribe first, it would ease logistics of the operation.
Darn, our hybrid needs just a few more tweaks (SD,BT) to make it
reach it's full potential.
If the EC bridge controller is only powered when vista is active... we might
need some X-Box and/or PS hackers to take a look at the big picture.

If you discover any way to derivate the EC, tell me and Iùll investigate with you (even if I'm crawling under work now )

Sure, I will do that.

bios
a good thing to have ...
is a fully functional bios ...
we could see a lot and set a lot ...

Solding
I, for one, would be willing to solder a SDHC card straigt onto the WM MB.
If someone could point out the right place and contacts...
I know I might ruin the WM side, but I'm not using it much anyway, and I can acces internet via bluetooth and my phone, so... I'd be willing to risk it...
But hey,.... I'm crazy

HTC Debug tool
Has any one tried the HTC debug tool - BT test module on HTC Shift !!
BT test attached here

good idea, to soldering a SD Card on wm side. but without a hardware engineer how know where you must soldering.. And maybe you must enable that on MS7xxx Processor ?
