Hey all you genius devs out there, I was wondering if there is any app/hack/method for tethering a Blackberry to my N1.
I mean to have the N1 with no sim in, getting data from the active Blackberry. Let me know, thanx...

Well I can definitely pair the two phones thru Bluetooth, but I cannot get a data connection from the Blackberry.
There's no way that I know of for the N1 to receive data from another device thru Bluetooth. But I'm not saying that I know a lot about this.
The thing is, most people want to tether their laptop using the N1 as a modem. I'm kind of going "backwards" here. It would be nice for me to be able to do this though. I need to use a Blackberry for work. I know that a hack like this might be useful for a lot of people.
Can't you just transfer the SIM? Worked for me with my HTC Magic when I was still on a BB plan. Otherwise, based on what you're trying to accomplish, you're asking the wrong forums. You should be over at CrackBerry asking how too use your BB as a wireless hotspot. As I recall, it was possible with a PC or MAC with PDAnet or tether.com's product. But, BB Desktop Manager needed to be installed on the desktop computer.
So, you're prob SOL. Just pull the SIM
ya, I was trying to get out of pulling the sim all the time, and I figured I'd be SOL, but figured it's worth a shot, thanx folks

Has anybody gotten this to work on an ATT Tilt?
No matter what I do, it just refuses to work. I used to use it all the time on my Mogul.
But the problem used to be that I could connect to it on my laptop, but wouldnt get internet. I gave up on it for a couple months. Now I go to try it again and I am not even picking it up on my laptop at all. I just don't understand.
Thanks in advance.
Works perfectly for me, although I'm on a cooked ROM.
So am I. Still nothin.

It's in the first post. I am not even picking it up on my laptop.
Bear in mind the WiFi signal is a 802.1b connection instead of the more recent 802.1g so make sure your laptop is searching for both bands.
Also, try and see if others can see your wireless network.
Hey guys, longtime reader. I was wondering if there was an app that i could DL that would give me the funtionality of the Hero's Mobile network sharing settings? I have searched far and wide and have not seemed to find a solution for me to easily tether my PC running Ubuntu 9.04 to my G1 running Cy's 4.1.11.
Sorry if this has been discussed elswhere, and as you can see ive been a member for a long time and have never needed any help, but i have been lookin for about a week now and have only been able to find these 2 sites about it: http://joshuaredstone.blogspot.com/2009/01/bluetooth-tethering-from-ubuntu-to.html and http://www.kryogenix.org/days/2009/...thout-jailbreaking-or-installing-applications
The second one is the one im inquiring about.
thanks
Please correct me if I'm misreading you, are you looking to tether? ie. use your cell phone to get ubuntu online?
If so I use aNetshare, first result in google. It has worked best for every rom I've ran, the older RCs, cupcake and now donut. I'm roaming 99% of the time so that may be why the other more popular ones give me trouble. idk...
For any of them to work you'll need root and su permissions. There is a paid app out there which claims to tether w/o root or su. I think through usb.
yah im slightly confused as to what exactly it is you are looking for as well...but the one im using is called PdaNet just google it and its one of the first choices.
its free.
it claims it works without root, i wouldnt know cuz im rooted =] but you can try!
it works via usb so it charges the phone while you're surfin =]
EDIT....heres the link. http://www.junefabrics.com/android/index.php
PS. my bad...didnt realize you were already running cyan =]

sorry if i wasnt clear before but i have Ubuntu and want to know how to tether my G1 through bluetooth using Ubuntu....i cant get netshare to work through Ubuntu. how did you get it to work?
bluetooth, you got me there... sry
Ya, sry no idea how to tether via bluetooth. I really only use wifi. Dunno why(maybe because of high data traffic) but my phone would constantly die while tethered and charging via usb.
Other than getting ubuntu to see&install my wireless card(nothing to do with my phone) I don't remember having any problems getting it to see or connect to my phone.
Or am I still confused and what you're really trying to do is use the internet you already have working on ubuntu to get you phone online?
for whatever reason my Ubuntu 9.04 does not automatically read my phone (Tmobile G1) as a modem through the usb. whenever i configure the steps (http://technologyheaven.com/2009/08/27/phoneasmodem/) to get it to read my phone it still says not connected even though it IS connected. I know the usb ports work cause i can get it to mass storage...just not modem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thx!
it's been a long while since I used USB tethering (anyone remember tetherbot & socks proxies). You may need to have the android sdk installed or atleast know how to communicate with your device via console. Connecting as a mass storage device and as a modem are two different things, so one may work great while the other still needs more setup.
Hopefully someone else with more experience can chime in.. please.. anyone...
I don't know a ton about cyan's roms but I'm assuming they come rooted by default. Is there a reason you don't want to use the wifi method for the time being?
edit: fwiw, you can use the wifi method while charging via usb. But, with heavy traffic(downloading huge files consecutively) the usb may not be able to keep up with the battery usage.. especially if on a 3g network. Using the stock charger & wifi on 3g the battery actually gets a little charge(power supply is ~500mA on usb, ~1A on charger). Either way, usb or wifi, usb or charger, turn off your screen for best results.
Im surprised no one mentioned Wireless tether for root users:http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
supports both wifi and bluetooth.
@B3astofthe3ast, cool I didn't know that(no bt on my laptop, ya it's kinda old heh). For whatever reason on several different roms I get terrible data when using that app, it might be because I'm 100% roaming with no 3g ever. Tethers to pc fine just 9/10 doesn't seem to be able download stuff.
thx, but i have that (http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/). anyway, im thinking its got something to do with my comp and not the phone itself, seeing as i can get on internet with windows just fine. Im just trying to move away from windows and to Ubuntu.
p.s. i dont have a wireless card in my self built computer, thats why i dont use wifi!
Talked my buddy into a Gtab after giving him a test drive on mine...
1 problem, his smart phone is through Sprint and he uses a Black Berry.
He connects his LT to the internet with a USB cable and his BB.
I thought I could set him up through Bluetooth, but I cant figure out how to tether the connection.
I can "pair" the 2 together no problem, but I dont have a clue how to make the internet connection.
He uses a Sprint program on his LT, so I'm wondering if there's a program that would do the same on the Gtab...
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks in advance...

I can get the 2 to "pair" without a problem, what I need is a terminal app to use the BB as a modem.
I know they do this on the iPad's all the time for the wifi only users.
I dont have enough experience with the Android OS to set this up.
I'm not even sure how to tether the Gtab to an Android phone.
Really need some help on this one or told it's not an option.
Thanks
As far as I know you can't do usb/bluetooth tethering atm . Unless someone manage to port over archos tethering protocol/tethering wizard.

I don't think it's an option direct from the GTab to the BB. I've been trying to get this to connect with my Storm 2, and have had no luck at all with it. Like you, I can pair the devices, but they won't connect. The only tethering software I can see that was worth a shot was Tether, and they don't support BB to Android.
Someone else in another thread pointed out a possible solution, a Cradlepoint CTR-350 Cellular Travel Router. You can connect your BB to create the access point, then connect the GTab to the 350. Runs about $77.00 from what I can tell online.

Keep me posted if you try this out....
Does blackberry have any hotspot apps?
My wife uses a Nokia N97, and purchased the Joikuspot hotspot app. The G-tab can see the Nokia's hotspot once the ad-hoc wifi hack is installed.
Will do, but the more I look the more I like the CradlePoint PHS300 Personal Hotspot. Little more expensive, but might be worth it since it's battery powered.

Good point... I pulled the Cradlepoint 350 up on line and it was AC only...
I also like the suggestion about "HOT SPOT" app on the BB... Haven't checked that as of yet....
If we can get this through software, that would be so much better...
He uses a Sprint program on the laptop to connect so we know it has the
capabilities to work as a modem and he has internet access.
I'm wondering how the iPad folks use their phones to connect to the internet.
I know most have the WIFI only models and they tether through their phones.
He just ordered the 300.....
They are running a holiday special of $99 dollars and that includes a free second backup battery....
Regular price was over 200 with shipping.... Cost him 109 with shipping...
He figures he can use the hot spot for other users also. It supports up to 16 users at once.
His Sprint card was listed as a option so this is even a better solution.
Huge thanks for pointing us in the right direction.

What app would you run on the Gtab to make the connection?

Anyone have any more information on this, either the bluetooth pda net or using that 300?
Thanks!
Install pdanet and creat your hotspot. Once that is done go to your wireless setting and connect to the hotspot.

??? I have PDANet on my Black Berry and PDANet on my GTab. On the BB, I selected Enabled Bluetooth DUN. The same thing for the GTab. Doesn't do anything.
I suspect both are listening for something to connect to them. Not sure how this is supposed to work.
I'm using it with wifi via my iphone...
Ah, that must be the key. You can't do it via bluetooth. You have to have a wifi connection to your phone.
The original posting asked how to do this via bluetooth.
PDAnet via usb requires a client on the client computer. I contacted PDAnet if they would create an android client for tablets and their answer, atleast for now, is we are SOL. Use BT DUN. But like the OP I cannot get my G tab to connect, only pair with my droid x or Aria. I don't know what is supposed to happen after turning on the BT DUN in PDAnet. Should the G tablet then be able to connect? Does some other software need to be run on the gtab to allow DUN connection?
Hello,
it would be great if we could get an app to use the HD2 with WP7 as wifi-router.
Could someone make this possible?
+1 !! i need it for my galaxy tab
U read my mind, just about one of the things i was looking for

That's for USB tethering, the OP and others in this thread are asking for WIFI tethering.
Bump. Need this badly... miss this feature that was readily available on my HD2...
PLEASE!!!
Giving this another bump, because I don't feel like dishing out more money to pay for a wifi plan with verizon when I can just tether with my phone. I would greatly appreciate this app back. =]
We should all start a bounty for all the things missing in WM7 on our HD2. I know They'll get it done (They have lives lol) but if there's money involved everyone will be motivated to work harder. I will start: 30USD from me if they can can get the following:
Custom Background
WiFi Tether
Copy/Paste (When it's released of course)
And anything else anyone wants to add. The bounty would be split evenly with who ever fills our needs
Wifi Teathering + Cut and Paste
I'll match that $30. I am about to set up an android dual boot situation just so I can get wifi teathering. I'd rather not if I don't have to.
Okay sotheres 60 sofar. Anyone willing to make a bounty thread for this and place a list with the people willing to donate, how much and a llink to their profiles.we really need these thinhs done
I want to start learning the code this summer so I can start developing apps that are needed such as this. I need the same functionality from my hd2 wp7 and can't find it anywhere either. Does anyone know what language WP7 is wrote in?

Cut & Paste is in the March NoDo update.
may not be a great solution, but has anyone tried the USB teathering method, then setting up an adhoc wifi network on the computer and sharing the dial up connection created in usb teathering?

But then you would need your laptop, your phone, AND your iPad/Galaxy/whatever out and that sort of defeats the purpose of wanting the wifi router built in to your phone.
I'll add my $30 to the bounty. I'm back in 6.5 on my HD2 because I use my wifi router quite a bit.

yes you would need 3 devices (hence why i said it might not be a great solution) but it might work for those that are desperate!
just FYI, the op on this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922000 said somewhere that he is working on a wifi version
First of all I'd like to apologize if this question has been answered.
I did do some searching around but didn't quite trust my finds since they we're on different phones/forums/etc.
My question is:
Is there any possible way to use my phone as a Wifi Extender or something similar?
I am trying to find a way to use my phone as a temporary "mimic router" for use on a different device.
My problem is the device I want to connect only accepts WEP, but I don't want to mess with my current router settings just for 1 or 2 devices.
Can my T-Mo Moto X be used as an extender.

Why not just use wireless tether? I think that should be sufficient. also I'm sure you know but making your phone tether or an access point kills the battery. You should just bite the bullet.. upgrade those wifi settings!! lol

I see. hmmmm.... well a quick google search just showed me some potential solutions for you. maybe give those a read and maybe you'll have your answer
p.s. some android phone can USB tether a wireless network they're connected too when a SIM card is removed or if you place a non working SIM card in.
Hope you get those devices connected! :laugh:
