Database Develop

Sucking Data From a Blackberry

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

A Few Noob Questions

Ordered HD7 should have in a few days.
I got the Tmobile version if that makes a difference.
1. Do the apps purchased in market for HD2 be compatible with HD7?
2. Does HD7 have the ability to act as a wifi router like the HD2 does?
3. Do they use the same charging plug?
Thank you to who ever provides answers and not flame.
I have sat here over and hour reading these threads, not clear answers to what I am asking.
I do wish some one would do a feature by feature comparison of the two phones. I got this one simply because I am tired of the lag and problems with my HD2. I know we can flash roms and all that, not to my skills or time frame, i need a phone that the developers provide what every phone should have, if this one does not offer that, then back to nokia we go .
Thank you again.

Hi,
1: No it is a completely different marketplace and apps for Windows Mobile 6.5 are not compatible with Windows Phone 7.
2: No, at the moment you cannot use the phone as a Wifi Router although that may be possible in the future.
3: I'm not too sure, the HD7 uses a micro USB port. From what I've seen it appears that the HD2 uses micro as well but I can't be sure.
If you're looking for a phone that Just works, then Windows Phone 7 is the way to go. No ROM flashes or tweaking to get it better as it's all good out of the box.
Enjoy it!

Thank you, but not good news.
I take it that the windows 7 app market is probably much smaller.
I use the wifi router feature all the time when at clients locations and need to get on line with my lap top. This is a major problem, do you know if it can be used via usb and 3G?
Thank you again.

no it can not be used to tether at this time. Only for the lg and samsung has tethering been figured out. The phone is capable of it, you just have to get into a hidden menu that has not been found on the htc hd7 yet.
uhhh, the wp7 marketplace already has over 2k apps the first month...

Where do you see them on line? went to WM7 site, only showed me about 100 apps or so, maybe I am looking at wrong area.
Any idea of a time line or has any one heard of when we will be able to use the wifi router feature on this phone? without this feature, the phone becomes useless to me for work

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?

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] usb 3g stick - is it poissible

I'm using tnt lite 3.1.4, also had vegan, but none could do anything with my 3g sticks. Following different forums, I see most devices can (at least some specific sticks). Has anyone managed to set up a 3G conection? Is there a how to I could follow? What chipset the stick had?
Thanks,
T.

I tried a sprint usb aircard.. no go..

The only way I have been able to get a 3G connection is to wirelessly tether to my DroidX work phone...
1) Install Z4root on the droid and run it to root the phone
2) Install wifi tether on the droid and set up a wep key and ssid
3) Turn on the wifi tether
4) The table sees this wifi "router" or connection, I set the wep key on that connection, the two units negotiate an IP, and zap, it has 3G through the droid
Not sure if this is helpful, but that is what I had to do in my own situation.

if it's in the kernel, it should seriously work, but someone has to build it. there's absolutely no reason for this not to work if someone builds it -- it has conceptually worked in linux for years.

I can build the kernel but I believe we need to add some stuff in initrc for the usb to connect to serial (like ttyUSB). Once I get another Gtab, I'll look into this.

exactly man, thanks for stepping up! this will be ultimately useful on many different devices with usb host features, and shouldn't be ridiculously difficult to get going, and gain some real cred with the tablet community, especially now as we're the first with this new tegra2 platform, with over 20-30 new devices coming soon. i'm unsure of how many are wifi-only, but the ability to merely jack in with a 3g/4g usb modem would be ultimately useful to many, and will save a ton of money for folks.

A kernel supporting the 3g sticks would be great I have 3 of them, so I am ready for testing

Thanks for that. I also use teether from my NexusOne, but I have to give it up as I got to move to BlackBerry - so I need a different solution... (what a step backwards :-(
T.

The stick is probably seen in the kernel. The other parts, Networkmanager, dialier, ppp are not on the tab. They would have to be recompiled for the arm processor and I'm not sure what other work is needed.

Thanks Clemsyn. Using your latest kernel with Vegan B5.1. I bought a Novatel USB727 (Verizon) stick off ebay (built in Linux support) just to try this out. Would gladly test if needed.

I would also be happy to test with ATT and Verizon 3G USB modems...

Update:
Built a kernel with 3g USB support, used my friend's Verizon Mifi, plugged it in the Gtab and it turns on, Dmesg shows it is detected as Novatel wireless and shows it's serial info. That's about it, can't browse and use it. Any ideas?

I'll try my usb modem using the ubuntu load. It should have the other networking parts to dial and connect.

In the ubuntu load, networkmanager is not supported yet so usb modems are still on hold.

Yes please, we need this. I have a sprint card from work and would love to ditch the laptop when travelling. Clemsyn, I could send you a copy of sprint smart view 3g manager if you think it would help.

I am able to use 3G easily using MyWi app from Cydia on my iPhone. This Gtablet works great on 3G! And since I always have my phone on me, I always have a 3G network on my Gtablet! iPhones basically suck, but this is probably the only good thing I've been able to use it for! And man oh man, its working great! Btw, When my phone contract runs out, I'm going to change to the Evo! That would be sweet!

Same here. I've been using Wireless Tether on my rooted Droid X with an unlimited 3G data plan for several weeks and it is pretty sweet. And like you said, since I have my phone with me all the time anyway, this seemed like an obvious solution.
I would be interested in the progress of this usb effort since my carrier now offers 4G modems.

Does anyone have any idea if the gtablet will tether to the blackberry

Here Made support for a similar tablet Toshiba Folio 100:

[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.
