[Q] Internet Bluetooth Sharing - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to share my internet connection via my PC's bluetooth?
More accurate, I have Internet on my desktop, and I want to share it over bluetooth with my SGS. I'm already using Connectify, but on some PCs there is no wifi.
Has anybody done that or is it at least possible?

sharing my desktop internet TO my diamond?

hi,
Is it possible to share my desktop computer's LAN internet connection to my phone?(via bluetooth?)
I already have a bluetooth dongle for my pc and I have a personal area network under network connections..
Remember, I need to *send* internet from my desktop to the phone, not the other way around.
Also, I have a separate laptop without an internet connection but 802.11 b/g WLAN, can I connect to the diamond to share files wirelessly?
Thanks so much
you can share internet TO your Diamond using activesync, and if you have a infinate amount of patience, in theory you can connect Activesync via Bluetooth (its in the options, and microshaft says it works, but i have tried with 4 different PPCs, and never have made it work).
As for the file sharing, you would need to set up a VPN (Virtual Private Network) which i have no idea how to do
Interesting, I'll try that.
But is'nt there a way I can make a network adapter for my diamonds bluetooth and then have it accept the personal network connection on my desktop?
It seems this feat is possible with symbian phones and an app called gnubox which *takes* internet from a computer via bluetooth.
Thanks so much.
yes they call it PAN

the instructions on that page is wrong.
Theres no Network cards under Settings>Connections!
hey, the active sync sharing works! =P I'm quite happy with it!!!
Btw, you can also try connecting activesync via bluetooth with shared internet. Seems to work ok for browsing but not for WL messenger.
Also, Wifi network is way more easier to setup.

Use PPC as an access point!!

Hi everybody
I Have ADSL connection on my pc and i want to share it through WIFI on my
VIVA and connect my laptop to intenet using WIFI.
In the other hand, i want to connect my VIVA to PC, then connect my laptop
to VIVA using WIFI and use my PC's internet connection.
Is that possible?
I have never tried if it works the way youre asking for, but there is indeed a setting for connection sharing on the viva.
Just give it a try and post if it works

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.

[Q] sharing phone's internet via bluetooth

hey guys i jus wanted to know is there any way that i can use my java based phone's internet on my nook. I have done the same thing on my pc but i had pc suit for that. Is there any app that can do this?
I've the same question.
Now I am using JoikuSpot to share internet connection via WiFi but I am curious how to do it via Bluetooth.

[Q] Connect to internet via laptop

Hi,
I searched to find a way to connect my Note to my laptop's internet, but couldn't find a way.
I have no wifi router and therefor I wonder if there is a way to surf internet in my Note by using laptop's internet connection.
Thanks for any suggestions
Connectify. Or reverse tethering (search for it in Android apps section).
Thank you
After trying so hard to get the first option to work on my PC i had to give up.
Tried second one and downloaded the trial from google play and I am now amaized how fast and good this is working. Now I have full internet access on my Note. As fast as my PC's. But you have to use the cable thou.
There's a new app called Opengarden. I haven't tried it, but it looks promising. It uses bluetooth, I think.
Not same
Opengarden is not supporting reverse tethering it is tethering. It means you can use Opengarden to use your mobile's internet on your pc, not your pc's internet on your mobile like reverse tethering. Two diffrent apps.
Just so i've the picture clear, are you using a 3G Dongle to connect to the net on your laptop.

I am using a cable. It is student biulding and I connect the cable to my PC and the internet is there.
The problem is that the galaxy Note does NOT support AD Hock as I tried much and changed some system setings from /system/bin. If there was a solution for NOTE to support Ad Hock it would be amaizing.
