Use a computers internet access via bluetooth? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Is this possible? If so how?
I would like the Diamond to use the internet connection of the desktop computer (cheaper) - and they see each other via bluetooth but it seems they both want to be "network access point"
Can you get the diamond to shut up and listen instead of thinking it is supposed to be the boss?

I actually discovered this today
If you connect with activesync via bluetooth, the phone uses the computers internet access...
well mine does... I don't know if this is standard, I just discovered it by accident

Damn, then I have to install activesync...
But thanks for the tip.

Well didn't work here. Must be some fluke on your system perhaps?

I've done this quite often, it's no fluke at all. Whenever I connect my phone to ActiveSync (or WMDC as I use Vista) via USB or bluetooth, it is able to use the internet connection from my PC.

you need to check active sync or windows mobile center(vista) options to enable data through

hmmm, that's strange ...
I'm testing it right now ... opening Opera, and there is the internet!
And I'm sure Its thrue bluetooth because my wifi router isn't connected
And when I disconnect activesync, no more internet...
Someone else that can check that?

No no, you are right - I needed to reboot the PC first apparently - duh
Works fine, thanks Nisse

Yes you can connect to internet through active sync or windows mobile device center by bluetooth, even if you rnt using microsoft bluetooth stack.

Though just for knowledge, I'd like to know how to connect through bluetooth as well - any HTC relevant guides about that?

Have you looked into bluetooth PAN?
Some info here.
Or install a http server on the PC and set up a web proxy (PHP or cgi, etc), then browse through that..
I havnt tried either of these but its something to look into..

There's really no point in doing that considering ActiveSync/WMDC shares the connection when you connect, all you have to do is pair your phone with your PC then go into ActiveSync on the phone and select Connect via BlueTooth.

Was just throwing it out there for us non-windows users. I keep a dedicated VM for flashing, but avoid using it whenever I can.

So you have to have activesync installed as well to use Bluetooth - damn a lot of junk - but thanks for the tip

Bluetooth Network

I understand that it is technically posible to establish a link between the phone and a computer with Bluetooth such that you can the access the internet using the computers access.
I have had a few shots at this, and have got the correct profile appearing as an outgoing connection and established - but I cannot for love nor money make the bugger do anything.
I'm using XP pro, I have tried with and without the bridge between the local and bluetooth connection on the machine - still nothing.
When I have the connection established and go to the Wireless Manager there are no entries in the Bluetooth drop down, should there be?
Any ideas anyone?

If you are just wanting to access the internet using bluetooth then the way I did this was to set up a blutooth active sync conection, you can the access the internet from your alpine.

True, lateral thinking, must try it one day!
Of course that would require me to remember to take my cradle to work for the first sync! Set a task in the phone you say, I would if the flamin thing allowed you to set the task alarm at a time of your choice, I'm nearly at work by 8 when it reminds me I've forgotten something again!

Using Diamond with Car-PC via bluetooth?

Hi there,
I got a car-pc since a while and have been using my sony ericsson with it... calls get transferred via bluetooth to the computer, as like phonebook in integrated into the car-pc software... all transmitted via bluetooth...
Now with the diamond, how do i set it up as a phone? winXP doesnt recognize other services than the moden funxtion
you should enable Remote SIM access on you Diamond: Start -settings - connections bluetooth SIM acces and also activate the service for your BT connection (do this in the first tab of the BT settings dialogue after connectig)
already done :-( But the Computer doesn't list other functions than modem for the HTC
Do i need any drivers for XP? Usually not...
Using Diamond & CarPC Via Internet sharing over BT
I have a CarPC in my car, it has a 7" touch screen & it is running WinXP and have built in Bluetooth. So for surfing in the internet , MSN, Skype in my car over the carpc i am using my HTC Diamond with the Internet Sharing icon and connecting it via Bluetooth to the carPC so i get FAST Internet over Bluetooth between my carpc and my HTC Diamond.
It works very good - very stable.
Matter of fact it is "capturing" my 3G Internet and pass it over Bluetooth to the carpc.
Solution works very well.
k, but i am not interested in using it as internet connection, i want to phone via the computers hardware, so the car-pc should act as an headset... besides that, he shoult be able to access the adress book and to begin calls... that for, i neeed 2 comports emulated, but how to create them?
could it be because the device is seen as a PDA, and not as a mobile phone?
I know somewhere here on XDA there is a reg hack for earlier devices to make them appear as a mobile phone to car kits. maybe the same thing will help here. I don't know where it is, can only suggest searching, unless anyone else can point you in the right direction....
I used to have PhoneConnector on my CarPC, with PhocoAdapter on the phone. It worked, but now this software is not supported anymore and unfortunately it does not work with WM6.
Freefone is not compatible either.
My good Blackbaron, I believe we users of CarPCs and Windows Mobile are scr...d!
By the way, sharing the 3G connection workds a treat, by USB, BT, Wifi... I just wish Vodafone would allow other ports than port 80
I still didnt realize what 3G is... ^^ I never owned a ppc before...
Well, on the CarPC the internet speed is as great as a DSL line, here is France I measured it at more than 3.5 MB/s (KS20 is limited to 4 MB/s with HSDPA, who knows why). Coming from the crappy Edge Motorola phone I had before, the browsing is truly amazingly fast!

1) Launch the Internet Sharing application on your phone (all WM6 phones have it)
2) Select your 3G connection, and BT or USB, tap "Connect"
3) USB: have ActiveSync installed on the PC, connect the USB cable, it's done.
4) BT: you have to set up a BT PAN hosted from your phone, add your PC to it, it's done.
5) If your provider uses a proxy, setup Firefox to use it (Tools/Options/Advanced/Network)
6) If your provider has a filter on User Agent, then you need the plug-in "User Agent Switcher", to put the same User Agent string as on your phone.
There you go!

Internet Sharing problems via Bluetooth

Hello, I have a problem when I try sharing my PDA's HSDPA to my Computer over Bluetooth.
I often use the Internet Sharing Option on my Diamond to get Internet on my Laptop.
Yesterday I tried the first time to share the Connection over Bluetooth (usually I use the USB)
But it doesn't work!
I open a Bluetooth PAN on my Diamond, then I connect my PC to the PAN.
Everything seams working well! My PC shows me that he is connected to the Diamond's Network Access, Signal Strength: Good, Packets are comming trough...
Now I try to open the Internet (IE 6), but he cannot reach any page! Only sometime he opens a bit of a site... But most times he tells me that there is nothing avaiable...
When I connect my Diamond then on a USB cable and I try it... it works fine...
What am I doing wrong???
P.S.: There is no Firewall, neigther an Anti-Virus
bump or whatever ? help ???
i'd also like to get the info on how to set up a pan on the diamond so i can use it with my oqo 0+
It seams like nobody has any help or anser for this? Is there anybody who shares the same problem?
you are not alone!
tho i'm far from being of any help as i have less of an idea than you!!
Diamond PAN
I have the same problem connecting using BT but it works perfectly using USB
Yep, a friend of mine has the same problems... do you think there could be a bug?
If it is in...
...Active Sync, I will try an older version just for tests
... the Diamond itself?? Don't know
... Windows, i did all Updates, nothing changed
.. Bluetooth Driver, try to update this one.
That are the things where the problem could be... Or are there any other ideas?

Access Internet on Kaiser via PC

Ok I have been trying to use my pc connection and access that connection through my bluetooth on my kaiser, most I can get is the other way around. Any suggestions
Not sure that Internet Connection sharing in WinMo supports that...just wondering, why the heck would you want to surf the web on a 2.8" screen when you have a full PC available to you?
You can use the remote desktop facility via wifi. But as previously posted... why?! Bluetooth doesn't support a high enough datarate for it to work properly.
Connection at my location is 3G at best so bluetooth is defininitaly fast enough to accomidate my needs just simple stuff.

The best way to get the connection on your kaiser throught the pc is when you connect it using the USB and being connected to the active sync on your pc besides there are no settings need to be made for using this way. I'm not sure if you can connect the kaiser to you active sync on the pc through the bluetooth.anyway let me try it and if anything pops up, i'll let you know
Nope, no additional software required. Just go into Start - Programs - Internet Sharing. Hit connect and connect up your USB cable and you're done.
_Wait for ActiveSync to connect and then exit the programme._________________
Max confusion
What a jumble this thread has become . The O/P wanted to access the internet that's already on his PC and channel that through his TyTN II - NOT the other way around. As already mentioned in one post, one way of getting this is via an Activesync (or WMDC if it's Vista or Win 7 on the PC) connection. For greatest speed this would be via the USB cable but it is possible to have an Activesync or WMDC connection via Bluetooth for greater mobility if there's a need to carry the phone up to 10 m from the bluetooth hub. The other (more straight forward) way to do this is just to connect the phone via WiFi directly to the landline/broadband router (assuming there is a WiFi capable router avail).
Internet connection sharing is only for when the phones internet connection eg GSM/3G or HSDPA is feed to a desktop PC (say if the landline/broadband connection is down). In the O/Ps second post, the reference to Bluetooth speeds made it look like this was what was being saught.
I have done all of these with my TyTN II and had things working well in each case.

How to share internet connection to NEXUS from laptop

I have LAN cable connection on my laptop. It has wifi and bluetooth module. Is there any way to get an internet connection on my Nexus by using them? My laptop runs Vista.
Thx
if i understand correctly, you want to share the internet on your laptop with your nexus.
You need to configure your wifi on the laptop as accesspoint and connect the nexus with it.
Google internet sharing wifi
you can just turn on network sharing on your laptop... google is your friend here if you need specifics.
Is there any way to do this without a Wireless network card? Since I'm on the other side of the house and get intermittent signal with my N1's wifi. Can it be done using the USB cable? aka reverse tethering?
I don't think android supports this "reverse tethering". Actually I think only WinMo phones support it via Activsync, which is automatic as soon as you plug in your USB.

Is there a way set up a non-ad hoc network on the laptop because the N1 is not compatible with ad hoc networks?
Although you can set up a software AP on your laptop, consider buying a WiFi access point. That way your laptop won't have to be plugged in either And its way easier to setup.
If you are using Windows 7 on your laptop, you can use Connectify (url is connectify.me) to convert your laptop into a wifi hotspot, which you can then connect your N1 to (via wifi)

What about for windows XP? is there an application similar to conectify.
Also just to let you guys know stock android does not let you connect to ad-hoc network sharing like some mentioned earlier. The devices does not see ad-hoc networks.
There is a issue request here about it.

...I'm more comfortable with xp so I'm doomed not to be able to set up an AP with my laptop...
I've been all over this connection and sharing internet connetion thing these days, and today it seems so close to work:
I paired my N7 and laptop on bluetooth, laptop with IVT driver, and N7 clearly shows in bluetooth - paired devices - profiles, under internet access, "connected to device for internet access".
yet all apps on N7 still say no connection.
god somebody pls help me!! It just doesn't make any sense!
btw, I did tick the option of "internet access sharing" and selected the bluetooth network in the settings of the internet accessing connection on my laptop.
I just don't understand whatever went wrong...

Yes, but it's not free. There is a free trial though if you want to make sure it works with your setup.
