Linux - Internet Sharing via Bluetooth

Hi all,
I recently switched to Linux on my laptop and went looking for a way to use Internet Sharing with Linux. I installed Ubuntu, which works pretty good. I also installed VirtualBox w/WinXP as a guest OS and installed ActiveSync and was able to get the phone connection working fine.
At any rate, I found a pretty good tutorial on Ubuntu Forums for using Internet Sharing via Bluetooth. I haven't tried using the USB cable as yet but for now Bluetooth works great for me. I can use the cable within the virtual OS.
Here it is:

Hope it comes in handy for some of you.

USB disk drive causes XP explorer hang

Sorry if this has been covered - I searched and googled with no success.
When I try to connect my Diamond as a USB disk drive it causes windows explorer to hang (Win XP SP2) and it only unfreezes when the USB is unplugged.
This happened with 2 different diamonds (I sent the first one back because of another problem) with both the stock Orange UK ROM and Dutty's 1.8 ROM. It seems to work fine on some other PCs. I would say it was a PC issue but it's not an isolated case - I've seen it happen with a friend's Diamond too, on his work laptop.
Edit: I should mention, it sometimes unfreezes and starts working if left connected for several minutes!
Anyone have any experience of this?
Thanks,
Dave

My XP SP2 does NOT have this problem...

Neither does mine.

Thanks for the responses guys. I didn't think it was an issue that would affect all computers, however I have personally witnessed it with 3 different Diamonds and 2 different PCs so I'm guessing somebody else must know about it.
I don't want to reinstall XP with no idea whether it will help so I guess my next step is to see if any other USB devices could be affecting it.

I think I've resolved it
I had to unplug my WD external HDD. This is a slight pain because it contains all of the media that I want to copy on to the Diamond!

Using as a USB modem with MacOS

Hi,
I have my MDA Vario III setup to share its data connection with my MacBook via BlueTooth, which is all very good any well.
But I was wondering if anyone had managed to find a good solution for doing this on the Mac using USB instead?
Its easy enough for PCs with ActiveSync...
Ive looked round on the forum and the Internet, but there doesnt seem to be a clear answer to this...
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jon

I have all Macs in my home and my home office. Bluetooth sharing is easy. Syncing with Missing sync , it's a great program, but that and others I have looked at, do not allow internet sharing through USB. I have had my Tilt for a year and a half and have yet to find a way.

Couldn't you use a linux method? I have a Mac Ibook 3g (collecting dust because macs are useless) and I've noticed that it's pretty much just linux with a crappy interface and one mouse button.

TBH i have not found a solution to this as such...
the blue tooth pan option is very very slow in transferring data between the phone and mac when using internet sharing
in the end the beast solution was to use wmwifirouter. the speed is just as good as pairing via usb with a pc. i do use the usb to give the phone a power supply however.
this is the best solution i have found so far

Unable to use N1 with Windows 7 64 Bit

I tried to do a search for this, and nothing came up for me. I recently purchased a new Laptop, running Windows 7 64 bit. My Nexus One will not install any of the drivers on such. I have downloaded the drivers from the Android Development, yet I am unable to actually use my Nexus One for ADB or for even Disk Mode. It keeps stating it is unable to install the drivers. I haven't ever tried to use my N1 with any 64 bit OS before this (except linux and mac, but that just seems to work) and my 32 bit OS's seem to work perfectly fine. Anyone else having this issue? Or possible solution?

I had the same problem when i went to root mine. I tried every tweak and hack and fix an update nothing worked.. but send someone at android community.com had it..
If you can wait a few hours i will post it when i get home..
Please don't even think of putting windows mobile on your nexus one. That is against Android law!

Keep trying and make sure you install the correct drivers. Try from another download source and don't let windows install the defaults.

I had the same problem. After hours trying things and searching for solutions in Google, finally MY solution was activate the USB Debug Mode
I hope this works for you too!

Same with me. USB Debug mode fixed it.

Im on Windows 7 x64 Pro. I havent had any problems getting ADB to work with my machine. I downloaded the SDK from the website and ran the sdk setup.exe. It will fail the first time, you have to close it and go to settings and FORCE HTTPS. once that is done. reopen it and reject everything except Device Drivers. This will download the drivers. When I connect my phone with debug mode on windows auto picks up the drivers and installs it.

I got it running on my machine ..windows64bit .. took a lil while but like someone said but it can be done ..or if all else fails install droid explorer ..and use its sdk directory

I had the same problem. In my case it was because I was plugging it into a usb port that was built into a card reader in my tower. As it turned out the usb port was not putting out enough power, so I decided to try some ports that are on the bottom of my case and the problem went away.
Each usb hub has to share power, so if you have several usb devices that pull some juice workin on the same hub you can try to get onto another hub via another port.

Win7 64 bit
I had the same problem. For me the solution was to use a legacy/older USB port on my laptop and not a highspeed one.

i am having this issue as well.
i have looked everywhere, and tried many solutions. i am lost.
my windows 7 32bit laptop sees the N1 is connected but cannot install or even find any drivers for it. i have USB debugging mode checked. i have tried ADK, using the USB drivers it provides, no luck there.
my N1 isn't rooted yet, and i'd like to trick it out. but i have to get access to it first. any help y'all can provide would be amazing.
it may be possible this is a windows 7 issue, with drivers and such. but i've been looking around for a while and can't find a solution anywhere.

[Q] XP won't connect to my G1.

Just got a G1 off of evilbay.
When I connect it to the PC with the usb lead XP says 'device not recognised'.
Any idea whats going wrong and how to fix it?

which winxp version are you using? i never managed to connect my g1 to xp64...
you might need to manually install the usb drivers which come with the android sdk

XP32, SP3.
Got a link for the drivers?

That's a GOOD thing.... protect a good phone from a HORRIBLE virus.
Try linux. No weird drivers needed and no risk of damage.

Can't go on to linux full time, it doesn't support the games I play.
And the XP emulators are not a solution either, unless they have finally started to support 3D graphics?
If that is the only solution maybe I should have gone for a blackberry after all.
Will it work with the Ubuntu live CD?
Or the run from USB drive under XP version?

Make sure you have a good, thick USB cable. My G1 doesn't want to work with the first two USB cables I tried.

That was the first thing I thought of
Tried all 7 of mine, all react the same.
Also tried the project machine, initially found it, then after about 10 seconds came up with the unrecognised device

Are you trying to mount the SD card or use adb/fastboot?

Am trying to get to the SD card.
Found my microSD card reader so can copy stuff over that way now.
Would be nice to connect properly tho.
It's away for a week now, being fixed and rooted
It is my humble opinion that my local phone guy is a genius (and well into android).

Livecd is fine.
Dualboot is better.
Clear the virus is best.
Games? Games are for kids. Hacking is more fun.

Excuse the retards, they run rampant around these parts
Find attached all the drivers you will need, any further help just ask me
And here is a link to get the sdk if you want it...
