I could connect through usb though using pdanet,,i dont know the steps for connecting through bluetooth,,if anyone could help that would be much appreciated..............Thanks......................
You've posted this in the ROM development thread so you may get flamed. It probably belongs in the software thread.
You can tether with bluetooth using the Internet Sharing app, where there is a pulldown menu that allows you to choose either USB or bluetooth. As long as you have paired your phone with your computer with bluetooth, all you should have to do is setup a bluetooth PAN internet connection on your computer which will depend on the bluetooth stack you have on your computer. Do a search in the software forum or on google and you'll likely find a bunch of info.

First off, thank you to all who post here, I have found a ton of useful information on my new toy
New Tilt, only a few days old (it's been hard reset to remove bloat). I have a few questions that I haven't found answers for on here yet.
1. Establishing a BlueTooth sync connection to my work laptop. I can pair the devices, but my work laptop can only see 3 BT profiles: Dial-up Networking, Network Access Point and FTP. I would ideally like to be able to sync between the two just using a BT connection, but I can't seem to figure out how. My laptop uses a BT 1.2 adapter from D-Link (DBT-120).
2. In the mean time, I've been connecting my Tilt to my laptop with the USB cable. Every time I connect it, it forces down my laptops proxy settings to my active internet connection on my phone. Since the work internet access is restricted, I have all internet access on my phone set to use MediaNet. However, this breaks when the proxy setting is pushed down. How do I stop this from happening?
So far those are my only two issues with the Tilt. Awesome phone otherwise.
Thus far, I've been unable to use my AT&T Tilt as a wireless modem for my Vista laptop. I've partnered them in the MS Bluetooth Stack, then gone to Windows --> Internet sharing and set it to bluetooth pan and media net, then on my computer, gone to "connect to" and opened the bluetooth pan connection. Unfortunately, at this point, my phone doesn't show up as a devic for bluetooth pan. If anyone can offer up some advice, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks
I would also like to add that Bluetooth PAN also doesn't work for me in XP (SP2). It doesn't show up in the the Bluetooth Device Wizard (the one used to add devices with PAN services), but clearly broadcasting is enabled in the options.
Also, just as a side note, I can't get USB tethering to work either...I'd really appreciate any help I can get with this tethering problem. Thanks.
Got it working. I have no idea why, but for some reason when i tried repairing it for the sixth time or so, vista suddenly decided it had drivers to install for my tilt, and it went ahead and installed the modem driver. now everything seems to be working.
By Bluetooth or USB? Or did you get both working?
Why bother with Bluetooth or USB headaches?? Just use WMWiFiRouter and connect to your phone over Wifi.
This is a fairly newbie question, and I know it was covered when the software was being developed for the Hermes. I used it then, but now cannot remember the name of it or find a reference to it anywhere on the forum. It isnt easy to search on such a small screen either, so apologies for taking the short route.
My hotel offers free wifi. I can connect to this wifi using my Kaiser. I want to browse the internet on a large display, ie my old Thinkpad. I connect my Kaiser to the laptop via USB and select internet sharing on the Kaiser, but only get options for sharing my 3G/GPRS connection, not the hotels Wifi. Where aren't I looking?!
Can I just make clear I am not talking about using my Kaiser as a wireless router.
WMWifiRouter can connect your Kaiser from:
- Cellular to Wifi
- Cellular to USB
- Cellular to Bluetooth
- Wifi to USB
- USB to Wifi
on your Thinkpad
I hope that helps

Ok I have been looking for a solutions for a long time. I want to use my shiny new Dell Mini 10 with windows 7 for turn by turn directions and i want to use my at&t tilt as the GPS receiver. So, what FREE solutions do I have? Google Earth would be sweet if it had VOICE directions.. but I know the odds of finding a free solution for that is going to be slim.
also, i keep thinking that i'll need a data connection AND a way to share the gps signal?!
bluetooth isn't an option.. at least not yet. I have to buy a BT dongle some day soon. HOPEFULLY i can find a miniscule BT USB thing so it wont stick out the side of the mini too much.
So i have 2 options for connections.. i have WIFI router on the tilt or i have to use USB. but as far as i know.. if i use usb i have to then CHOOSE between internet sharing or activesync... i need to use active sync to share the gps ports but i need internet sharing to get the data connection!!?? sooooo confused..
someone PLEASE help me
thats the situation.. to review... here are the questions i need answered.
1) what software to use on the laptop?
2) what software(s) to use on the phone?
2a) gps sharing?
2b) internet sharing?
3) how to connect the two? (usb, wifi or bt)
THANKS AHEAD OF TIME to whoever responds..
and please don't BURN me because I HAVE SEARCHED.. if you know the threads i should read then please just link me and i'll be happy to read them over..
Well, you'll need something like gps2blue
http://users.skynet.be/hofinger/GPS2Blue.html
on the tilt and Hardware Virtual Serial Port from here:
http://www.hw-group.com/products/hw_vsp/index_en.html
That will make the GPS on the Tilt look like a Serial port GPS device to the netbook.
That is the easy part. I don't think you'll find a free GPS mapping product with turn-by-turn voice commands.
Actually you will

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.
