internet sharing w/bluetooth?

hi:
i have tilt and nokia n800.
both devices see each other but will not pair--no matter how i try.
if someone knows how, i would appreciate the help..
i want to use phone > internet AND n800 > internet at the same time..
is this even possible? or am i wasting my time?
do i disable the phone if i get internet sharing > bluetooth to even work?
i like wmwifirouter, but it disables the phone..
thanx

There's an ICS Cab floating around, you need it. Otherwise you can't set it up to do Bluetooth PAN. AT&T moved/disabled ICS.
Once that's installed and you run it, select BT, hit Connect, then connect to the "Dial Up Service" from your phone and it's done.
I won't ask why you're wanting to connect another phone to your Tilt, that's arbitrary I suppose.

No. When ICS is on, the phone itself doesn't have access to the net anymore, only the bluetooth device will have it.
Does the N800 support bluetooth PAN at all? Apparently from a quick search it doesn't at least from stock, needs some add-on/hacking or whatever.

no, i can connect to internet from phone when ics is on..
the forums for the n800 sez that it does support bt pan..
one of the probs is that 800 keeps trying to assign security key and there is no way to disable it..
even when i set phone to match, they always refuse authorization..no matter what i have done so far.
i appreciate the reply tho
edit :: i think youre right.. 800 does Not support bt pan..but i installed the maemo-pan hack for it
i really wanna use both devices at the same time..

If it's just launched yes, but not anymore once it's actively connected. No way around that as far as I know.

I'm not completely sure what you mean by a wifi sender, not receiver, but if you want to be able to use your phone as a wifi hotspot, and utilise its GPRS/3G internet connection from a laptop, then you can use WMWifiRouter to do that (http://www.wmwifirouter.com/) - this is a commercial product, but there's a version you can find on the internet which was the last freeware version they did before it went commercial.
Is that what you meant?
Cheers,
Steve

or man.... ur the best.. this was exactly what i was looking for.. thanks man..

WMWiFiRouter
WMWiFiRouter is one of the few commercial products that I have purchased for my WM devices (Tilt then Fuze). It is easily the best piece of software that I have purchased. It works great and is simple to configure. It does exactly what it says it does. I highly recommend purchasing the latest commercial version.
I am not affiliated with the company that sells the software, I am just a typical user that really likes the software.

Need Help With Wifi

Hey guys I'm new to this forum. My wings wifi does not connect to my (secure) home wireless network. It connects to wifi's at the hotels i go to but not at home or anywhere else. I know you guys have probably heard this a thousand times, but please can some help me. I can't live without it. Thanks.
My wireless setting is WPA-Personal ( PSK ) decrypt (AES)

Hmm, haven't heard this one. My router is set to WPA-Personal/TKIP encryption and I can connect fine on all the ROMs I've used, try switching to that. Just out of curiosity, what type of router do you have? And what is ROM is your Wing running?

I just upgraded the rom to open touch 7 by ttran today. It's a belkin router.

That's wierd. I used almost all of ttran's ROMs including OT7.7biggy, never had any issues. It could be the router, but I don't know anything about Belkin firmware, mine is a Linksys. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. One more Q though, did this just start happening since you upgraded to OT7?

No, it has happened ever since i had the original rom.
Thanks for your help though.

This sounds like it could be a hardware issue. Like possibly your wifi isn't working on all 3 bands (b/g/n) like it should be. If a warranty or insurance replacement is an option for you, you may want to call T-Mobile about it.

I would like to but, I'v had this phone for almost two years. I think it could be the wireless router instead of the phone. I googled around and found out belkin routers had problems with windows mobile phones. Plus my phone can sitll connect to wireless in hotels.
Since i just got this new rom, do you have any good apps or programs you would suggest
Thanks

Yeah that sucks, I'm in the same boat with mine. Hoping it holds up long enough for me to get a Touch Pro2 this march when I get my upgrade. This is what I have on my Wing now, but you may want different app depending on your needs.

Tethering GTag through BB BT...

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.

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?

Bump...
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?

[Q] 3g modem on nook

Hello, I wonder if its possible to put in a 3g modem and use mobile broadband on the nook ?
Please excuse me for bad my bad English

Hardware modification is a lot of work. In most cases it's not even possible.
You are better off tethering to your phone or a hotspot if wifi isn't available...
In my opinion.

Where do you propose to insert the USB 3G device? Maybe once Bluetooth is working there will be a device to add 3g via Bluetooth. But there is not, as far as I know, 3G hardware available on the NC board... yet.

I'll make it simpler than the others...
Sorry, no.

Sadly the nook doesn't really have the capacity to add 3G hardware. Some tablets do have full sized USB ports that can physically connect to a USB 3G modem, but there is no built in driver support on those tablets either. Your only real option currently is wifi tether to a 3G phone.

Just in case any of these replies are missing information you need:
1. No, you can't add 3g to the Nook, in fact this is why i love it as a tablet - no extra data plan to pay for
2. BUT you can easily use the nook's wifi to connect to a portable hotspot
3. You could if you wanted buy a portable hotspot (e.g. Mifi, or overdrive), but these come with expensive data plans
4. You can use your regular cellphone. This requires rooting on an android device, and I do not know if this is possible on other platforms. Anyway, I reccommend "wireless tether" as the app to use simply because it can be set up to only communicate with MAC addresses that it approves (it's great being in an airport and seeing all the internet leaches being bounced off your phone's hotspot).
5. If you are super lucky, your phone will operate as an 'infrastructure network', and you can stop reading right now! ;-) However, more than likely, your phone will operate as an "adhoc" network, not an "infrastructure" network. This requires some tweaking of your nook on 2.1 ROMS (there's several threads on this), but is built into 2.2 (which is a major reason to move to Froyo).
6. The ad-hoc fix is a bit buggy, and whatever B&N changed in 1.1 makes this much worse. Again there's several threads describing this. In 1.01 the solution as to use an app to shut down and restart the wifi as the screen shut down or tuned off. BUT THIS DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM IN 1.1 AND IF ANYTHING MAKES IT MORE ANNOYING.
7. Basically there is some issue in 1.1 where when the nook wakes, the wifi is on but it may not reconnect to a network until you tell it to. This happens occasionally for the stock wifi, but happens continuously with the ad-hoc fix. The best workaround i have found is to have an app called "wifi buddy" in my dock - then when the machine wakes up if it can't see the network, i just launch wifi buddy and it connects immediately.
Hope that helps

That would be nice, what I do is tether my iPhone to my nook using MiWi. Its fast and reliable

I am using PDAnet on the iPhone. It's free and also offers the option to broadcast a WiFi hotspot. Other iPhones and my laptop see the hotspot but the Nook does not. Has anyone tried that yet?

Found the answer!
Ad-hoc fix for tethering
I found a great guide to use PDAnet (free version) for tethering the NC with my iPhone 3Gs. Hooray for this awesome forum!

If you could somehow get the SoC from the Droid X in there... it might be remotely possible. But the time and effort required would make this a purely "did it to say I did" type of hack.

Or, while waiting a year for that to happen, buy a NC that will do 90% of what that one will do now for half that price.

It's your choice.
