I have a Moto v710 phone and a XV6600/harrier/CDMA blue angel running wm2k3. The bluetooth drivers inside it are Broadcom Build 3500. I am trying to get my harrier to use the v710 as a bluetooth modem. The PDA and V710 pair and pin exchange fine, but when I try to use the "connect to internet" BT wizard it says the the service isnt avaible on the V710 phone. I then try using the wizard that should see all the profiles on the phone, and it says that the V710 phone isnt offering any "services".
I have also tryed to create a connection profile that uses the Bluetooth modem, and it says after a few seconds "unable to connect" when I dial it.
Can someone help?
Update. The V710 is fine, my PDA (the XV6600) isnt, even though it has a "Bluetooth Modem" option as what modem to use it doesnt work. I did find a fix for my PDA that made everything work perfect at http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=23769 .

I have an AT&T Tilt (unmodifed so far) and am having no luck getting this to tether to my MacBookPro running 10.5.1. I have it working via USB for syncing via MissingSync for calendar, addresses, etc.
Running the bluetooth device setup finds both PAN and modem but I can't get those to work. I've read that PAN is the easiest since it doesn't require any configuration. When I use the Connect To Network in the Bluetooth menu, I get an error of "Failed to open a connection to the network service. Your device may have reached its maximum number of supported network connections."
I then tried to set it up as a modem via USB but the Tilt doesn't appear in the Network as a modem option. The System Profiler sees the phone as a generic serial device. Is there an OSX kext (driver) available for the Tilt so that it will be seen as an external USB modem?
If it is at all possible to make the phone act like a modem, is there any way to use it as a fax modem? Would love to set it up as a printer>fax gateway.
FYI, It is working in XP after installing the AT&T Connection Manager and using it as a dialup modem so I know my account is authorized for the tethering option (I have the PDA Tether Unlimited/1500 messages plan for $69)
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Ok. I got the Bluetooth PAN working after reflashing the firmware (I used the XDA Live 1.0 release). The AT&T Tilt firmware didn't include the Internet Sharing application so the BT PAN wasn't an option.
I would still like information about getting the phone to act as a fax modem if possible.
I would like to connect my S730 to my laptop (Windows XP) via USB, and then use the S730 as a modem for a dial-up connection. That means using a connectoid on the laptop to specify the phone number. I can do this with other cellphones. For my JasJar (WM 5 for Pocket PC Phone Edition), I needed a driver for the laptop and then need to use the Wireless Modem on the JasJar. For my Cingular 3125 (WM 5 for Smartphone), I need to Activate the modem connection. I haven't found a way with my S730. "Internet Sharing" seems to let a laptop share a connection initiated on the S730, which means the S730 has all the settings, including the phone number where appropriate (this is definitely not as clear as I would like:-(
Thanks.
That is how it works. Internet sharing...then make sure all of your settings are correct...then connect. Worked fine for me...better than the dial-up way with WM5.
Yeah, its extreemly simple, just connect your phone to the computer and make sure the computer registers the connection, can close or minimize ative sync if it pops up. Then on your phone open Internet Sharing, connection should be USB, and Network Connection should be whatever your network offers. Then hit connect. Give it a few seconds and your online.
Used this feature several times while on vacation during the holidays. Got about 20kb's down max (Edge)
Thank you for your replies. But I'm pretty sure your solution is not what I want. My ISP has dial-up service that can be convenient when I'm traveling (definitely slow, but good enough). So that is what I want to access. And I do not have any sort of network/data service from my T-Mobile. So I really want to use the connectoid on my laptop that lets me specify the phone number and enter the password on my laptop.
I'm not sure the S730 can act as a dial up modem?
I see what your saying, and as is I do not believe the phone can do it as it comes from the box. You would have to find a way to have your phone while connected to the computer also show up as a modem option for you to use it that way.
If you have the dial up numbers from your ISP why not just get a phone cord and plug it in while your on the road? Most laptops still come with built in modems which is what your after.
There might be some applications out there that allow you to configure a connection to use the phone as a dial up modem, but I honestly havent heard of any (havnt looked either soooo)
You also might try finding wifi hotspots and doing what was already suggested. Then you get DSL through your phone on the computer, or if the computer has a wifi card...
S730 as Modem: Success!
Well, I gave up on my original quest, but found something close enough. All settings on the S730.
First, I set up a Dial-up connection that dials my ISP, and set it to connect to The Internet.
Then I set Connection Sharing to use USB for the PC Connection and the Dial-up connection for the Network Connection. Press Connect, connect the cable, and my laptop is on-line!!
Not needing to add software to my laptop is nice. Typing my password on the cell phone rather than laptop is not so nice. But that is being fussy.
So, thanks for the help. It actually did prod and guide me to a good solution.
Useful when other options are unavailable, pricey, or less convenient.
Greetings everyone,
Is it possible to use the Tilt 8925 as a dial-up modem?
I've try the search function, but could not find anything.
I would like to connect my laptop to the phone and use it as a dial up modem. I was able to do that with my Nokia N70....and that phone is 4 years old. I would be surprise if a more advance phone (Tilt 8925) was unable to perform the said function.
Thanks
Yes you can use it as a modem, you can also connect it to your laptop using "Internet Sharing" Which I think is the better method, I get 1700kbps with it.

What are your settings?
I've tried USB and Bluetooth PAn as the "PC connection"
and My Connection 1 as the "Network Connection".
I clicked on the "connect button" in the internet sharing and nothing is happening.
It's dialing the dial up number using Celluar line. But it's not connecting at all. I get " Cannot Connect" widow with the following: The remote party has ended this connection.
Thanks
Install ICS if you have a tilt.. There is a cab floating around for it that is easy to use. Once it is in, it'll show up as a network connection in Winblows and work for bluetooth PAN.
According to what he said just above he already has it. I guess the connection settings must be wrong though. If you connect your "my connection 1" with the phone, can you get internet access on the phone itself?
I had the exact same problem, with ICS saying that the connection was denied by a third party. More specifically it was WMWifirouter trying to use ICS to bind my data connection to my wificard to create a wireless hot spot out of my phone (which is the coolest program I have ever used on my tilt).
Anyway, I fixed it by opening ICS and changing the Network Connection. I have ATT and they use 2 different connections. One is if you paid for tethering (AT&T ISP GPRS), the other is your data connection (MEdia Net). I am not 100% sure if this is the case, but it is my best guess.
I changed it from ATT ISP to MEdia Net, and it started working, because I presume, due to the fact that I do not have tethering on my data plan.
I am not sure if the carrier can detect I made this change, and somehow know to charge me the extra tethering charge. As far as they know I do not even have access to the ICS application..so we'll see.
So look in your ICS and see if your carrier uses more than one connection.

I dont have internet connection on the phone itself. I dont have any data plan. My provider is T-Mobile. Am I required to purchase the data plan before I can use the dial-up internet/ share internet feature?
I know on my NOkia N70 all I had was the basic wireless plan (39.99 from T-mobile) and was able to connect using dial up. I would connect my Nokia N70 to my laptop via USB or Bluetooth. Click the dial-up icon on my laptop. It would dial my local ISP provider...and connect.

I have this install...but still is not working.
Thanks for the input.
I think my setting are off.....but do not know how to correct it.
OK, it seems you actually want to do it the "old way" and have the phone dial a phone number to connect like a 56k modem... but in 9.6k here through GSM
There are 2 ways to do this, one where the phone has the connection and shares it with ICS (create a new connection on the phone, through cellular line, add number) which seems to be what you tried first and as I said would allow you to have the net on the phone itself too, which is why I was asking if that was working in the first place before going into the sharing thing.
Or, the second which must be more like what you had with the Nokia, where the phone is just a modem and all connection settings are on the PC. As you're having trouble with the first one, lets try the second one:
If you want your modem to work via the USB cable:
Settings -> Connections -> wireless modem, select USB, menu-> APN setting -> remove the tick ->done -> menu -> start.
THEN plug the USB port, the PC should find a serial port to which a modem is attached.
Or via Bluetooth:
Just pair your phone to the PC via BT, then on the PC go and browse the services on the phone where you should find "dial-up networking". Now it depends on your PC's BT stack, but on mine I would double-click on that, which would firstly install a bluetooth modem, then open a dialog where I can enter the phone number to dial. I'd then have a usual modem connection in the PC's control panel->connections folder.
But with that you won't be able to take advantage of the new ways to transfer data over the network and their incredibly higher speeds. Granted you won't need a data plan and will just pay like a regular call, but you'll be having a very slow connection. Which is why barely anybody ever uses that anymore and we didn't get it.
To take advantage of EDGE, 3G, HSDPA, you need a real packet data connection instead of a call, which in turn requires either a data plan or that you pay just the standard volume price for data.
um you all are making this a one big issue....no offense...wmwifirouter and a bluetooth dongle for your pc...nuff said
Edited previous post with what I had forgotten.
t-mobile internet sharing
i have a problem using my tilt as a modem as well, I also don't have a data plan, i use T-Mobile's 5.99 plan, can i use internet sharing with this plan? if so what do i need to do? thanks
Ok, for one I think you have to have a data plan for it to work, otherwise you will wind up with serious data charges ( in excess of 3-500 $ have been reported )
Back in the day you could use the voice side and dial out to aol or the likes, but im sure that cant be done anymore. ( I hope this isnt what youre asking about )
There are other alternatives to ICS built into the phone. Using bluetooth you can "tether" the computer to the phone and dial an access string. this is done by using a generic bluetooth serial port for data communications. Basically once your phone is paired, you should be able to go to the computer and set up a new connection using the serial port that was created when you paired. Then you will need the phone number, user name , and password for your provider. For ATT, I know you can still use "[email protected]" for the user name and "CINGULAR1" for the password. The APN ( or dial string) can be a few different things. Ive used apn.cingular.com on my WM phones as the phone number to dial, and also *99# as the number to dial. If you research your cellular carrier you will find the dial strings, user names, and passwords for them through google.
JUST REMEMBER THIS IS DATA INTENSIVE!!!!!!!
I hope this info helps a tad.

i am still a little confused, i dont think t-mobile works the same way At&t does it does not charge by data use, i just want to know if it will work with the 5.99 plan, if there is a way to manipulate the phone the same way i use a proxy setting to connect to the internet?

This reply is just not contributing in any way! Why not just help others out? This reply shows that you have no idea at all of the goal of this question!
I have a ROM based on the HTC official 5.2.19212, I also have the latest VoIP drivers cooked into the ROM along with an auto-run .cab file with my SIP settings. I know this works as when I put together my kitchen this was something I tested extensively (the audio is routed to the rear speaker, however that is the only issue). Also included in my ROM is the .cab file for BlackBerry Connect 4.0.0.97, however it isn't installed automatically. When I originally put together the kitchen I wasn't using BB Connect but we have BB's at work so I thought I would include it as an option for installation later on.
A few weeks ago I got my SIM upgraded so I could enable BB Connect. After a bit of playing around I got it all working and I am now 'synced' to my work email using BB Connect (I would prefer Exchange & ActiveSync but this isn't an option at work at the moment....). One thing I didn't check after installing BB Connect and enabling it was the VoIP client as I just assumed they would play together.
Anyway I don't use VoIP often but last week I had the oportunity to use it on a customer site where we were testing a new IP Phone system and we only had a couple of 'real' WiFi IP Phones. Anyway it didn't work The Kaiser was able to start the call, however after the other party had answered it just locked up - screen froze, no response to any buttons etc, only option was a soft-reset. I tried it several times but each time it was the same. When I got home I changed the SIP settings to my own Broadband Voice providers settings and tried again, still it didn't work. I also tried disabling the GPRS connection and even switching of the GSM radio in case that was causing the issue, but no the same behaviour was experienced.
I ended up doing a hard-reset and then it began to work, however after installation of BB Connect it fails again.
Does anyone else use VoIP & BB Connect or know what is likely to be the problem?
Cheers
Andy

I would try a 6.1 rom that can connect to two dialup networks at the same time (blackberry and media.net) or suspend the blackberry connect service and see if the problem still happens. The BB connect service establishes and maintains a constant connection to blackberry and does not release it which would cause a problem with any other connections including SIP.
I would also try running the latest blackberry connect 4.0.0.100. I find it locks up my tilt less than the previous versions.

2 GPRS connections active at the same time? I didn't think this was possible? However I don't think this is the issue as I disabled the GSM radio and only had WiFi connected (so no 2nd path). If the 2nd IP connection was the problem then I could see VoIP just not working (i.e. a local IP routing decision for the device and not knowing which interface to use), however the whole thing just locks up - no reaction to any button or screen tapping, the only thing you can do is soft-reset?

My Problem is the following:
I have my Diamond, which I use for work purposes, and my work Mobile subscription does not have Internet access.
However, I do have a private Mobile subsciption WITH internet access, which I have installed in a different (Nokia3109) Phone
The Internet works in the Phone, I can also use it as modem for my Laptop thru Bluetooth (works fine with the *99# and connection string I have setup)
NOW... I also want to use it as Bluetooth modem for my Diamond... problem (I think) is that in Windows Mobile 6.1, I can not configure the connection string anywhere. I have paired it already through bluetooth, Bluetooth services says indeed that I have Dialup Modem service, and it is also shown in the connection setup (I can select Bluetooth Modem as device)
For settings I use *99# as number, username password I have, but I cannot connect.
I DO know the connection string, which I have also used for my laptop... but don't know where to put it!!
can anyone help me in this?
some info on the Diamond:
ROM: Touch-IT v.41
CE OS5.2.21042
Windows Mobile 6.1
Thanks in advance,
Gordon
You have to add manually a STRING parameter named "3" into
HKLM/Drivers/Unimodem/Init
This is a place where you put your modem initialization string.
Usually it looks like
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","APN of your provider"<cr>
It should be ok then
Thanks for the tip.
It did not work however, I think the bluetooth connection was not very well...
I reflshed my ROM and tried again... now it work (although partly only...)
I can now update the weather and the stock information easily, but Windows Live Messenger, email or Webpages give errors of not being able to connect.
(e.g. with Internet Explorer, the Status bar first says connecting, then Locating, and that is where it stops (after a while) and gives the message it cannot find a page.
Do you maybe also have an answer for that?
thanks in advance,
Gordon
