Tethering an ipod touch.

Hi,
Are there any ROMs or apps out there that will enable me to connect my ipod touch to the wifi of my N1 and use the inetrnet connection? Basically use the N1 as an access point rather than standard tethering.
Cheers

Not sure about non-rooted phones, but if you are rooted, you can use "Wireless tether for Root Users". I use it often in my car, because I have an ipod adaptor but no 3.5mm jack. So i send internet to my ipod touch, then stream music.
Edit: Just found out that program doesn't work on standard kernel for N1. I Read a post there is a way to get it to work, but haven't investigated yet, anyways, sorry if I gave you the wrong info. I had an HTC Magic and Dream, that both worked fine with wireless tether for root users.

Cyanogenmod will allow you to do wireless tethering, though it doesn't include the app, it is compatible.

You can use my HTC Android Basic Kitchen to create a ROM that adds the wireless tether + required kernel modification for your Nexus One. Check the link in my signature. It's working for me on my N1.

Will give these ideas a try.

You have to have a gps connected for your tab to know where you are. Check the gps threads for options.

I did that already, check the GPS connection in the option, still got problem.
I let the "WAITING FOR LOCATION" for 5 minutes, and still no luck.
Since I bought my Gtab, this Navigation App is not working...
Any thought?..Thanks

Go to settings applications development and check allow mock locations

What kind of gps are you using? Do you have BlueGPS installed and running on the gtab when you connect your bluetooth gps? I have a Bluetooth Tomtom gps and connect it to my gpad using BlueGPS. When I go to navigation it instantly locks my location. I've also used the same method to connect my LG Optimus gps via bluetooth with perfect results.
You also must be connected to wi-fi for Google maps to work unless you have an app that allows you to download the maps to the sd card (ie: CoPilot).

'Locus' also allows you to download maps from various sources and supports GPS. I've had it working with my TomTom bluetooth GPS receiver.

Do you mean, I have to install GPS apps before the NAVIGATION apps to work?

You're aware that the GTab doesn't have a GPS in it? You need to physically buy a bluetooth gps and pair it for navigation to work. You can spoof your location using several apps, but for an actual location you need to buy one.

Thanks for the info.

I cannot make Locus to work with the Tomtom Bluetooth GPS MKII.
Click on GPS ON and it come back unalble to connect to device !
How do you do that? Help.

(Q) apple bluetooth keyboards?

So I got a bluetooth apple keyboard and it pairs and I have bluekeyboard. But when I turn on the keyboard as soon as it connects it reboots the NC anyone having this problem?

What build are you on? Did you flash the kernel? I had the very same problem and it was solved for me. I'm typing this on my nook with my apple keyboard. Also check the Bluetooth Experience thread.

One of the overclock kernels can cause this problem. There is a file kernel.zip by verygreen. It will fix the problem. It is located at the link below. I used it myself and now the silver apple bluetooth keyboard works fine. I am running cm7 from an sd card. I shut down my nc. Removed the sd card, install the sd card in an usb adapter on a mac and replaced that file. He has other instructions at the link?

Nook Color "standalone" GPS... there's gotta be a way...

I've seen these simple USB GPS receiver antennas that hook to a laptop for GPS duties so naturally I'm thinking why can't this be done for the nook. Ideally we would have a dual/split port so power could still be supplied at the same time.
I'd rather have this config since I don't like the idea of tethering to a GPS capable cell for privacy reasons and it ties up the cell too.
Why couldn't this be possible? Is it just a matter of the Nook recognizing the GPS antenna and being able to get a software package to recognize it?
Any ideas?

With CM7, and a bluetooth GPS reciever, this is no problem. We will never be able to build a GPS into the device, but we can get close enough...

Yes, my intention would be to leave the GPS antenna in the vehicle and just hook up when I get in. Along with MP3 duties of course. It shouldn't be hard to find or make a USB gender changer with dual connections.

Im not following, sorry.
I just ordered a "kit" for my NC actually - a car window mount, and a stand-alone BT GPS. I plan on attaching the the GPS to the window mount via velcro, and leave it in the car. You don't need USB at all (nor would it work, since our nook does not currently support usb host). Just get a BT module, and leave it in the car; connect it to the nook when you need it. done.

Ok I see what your saying. But Im not familiar with Bluetooth recievers. Are we talking about just a regular GPS with a screen and all? Then why hook it up to the nook? Or are we talking about a little box that just sits on the dash or tucked away somewhere?

Ah, let me fill ya in then.
What i am talking about are standalone recievers - nothing more than a GPS and BT transmitter. No screen, no frills. Most have batteries that will last for weeks, and are small enough to store anywhere in the car when not in use. YOu can see a good selection here:
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...eiver&keywords=bluetooth+gps+receiver&ie=UTF8
Hope that may give you some new ideas.

Aaaahhhh..... yes I see now. So it would be just a matter of finding one thats compatible with our NC's and the software for it... cool. Anyway to know which one works the best for the Nook?

Now, i guess i cannot guarantee, but in theory, ANY BT gps should work with our system, since all GPS's transmit in the same standard. All you should need for software on the nook will be:
https://market.android.com/details?id=de.mobilej.btgps&feature=search_result
or
https://market.android.com/details?id=googoo.android.btgps&feature=related_apps
Assuming my GPS arrives sometime soon, i will be able to give ya some first hand advice.

You will still need a data connection if you intend to use Google Maps for your GPS software.
If you want to use it without a data connection, you will need something like this:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alk.copilot.market.usa&feature=search_result
"maps stored on your phone, not downloaded"
Also note, Bluetooth range is very limited on the NC. My BT GPS has to be within 2 feet of the NC to connect.

That is true, a stand alone program is the best, but google will cache the maps if you pre-plan the route.
As for distance - with a car mounted GPS< you really don't need to worry about that - the GPS should be by the windshield anyway, so keeping it close to the nook isn't an issue..

What about this Google "Navigation" program that is on the nook? (the blue arrow)

You'd still need a data connection. The best probable solution would be to tether to a smartphone that has GPS - so the Nook has a data connection for the Google Maps and Navigation, and GPS data from the phone's GPS.

I was interested in the same thing and went so far as to successfully pair my Garmin bluetooth gps unit with my CM7 nook, but I was not able to actually read any gps data. (This unit was successfully used with a linux laptop and car computer, so it works in linux.)
While looking for a way (hack or software) to read the gps data I found the TetherGPS app, which meets my needs- and yes, I have received phone calls and browsed the web on the phone while using nav on the nook without problems.
The biggest issue I have found in the past and NOW is that I do not think much of the other gps nav options available on Android (or linux!) and caching a limited tileset with Google maps is not enough for my needs. My routes often change.
I do have another bluetooth puck around, if I can find it... I will test to see if that one is easier for the Nook to read data from.

It will pair, but you need to use an intermediary program to access the GPS, like this one:
https://market.android.com/details?id=googoo.android.btgps&feature=related_apps
or this one:
https://market.android.com/details?id=de.mobilej.btgps&feature=search_result
or this:
https://market.android.com/details?...oid.addon.bluetooth.GPS&feature=search_result

I had trouble with some GPS apps.
I was able to use the GPS and data access on my Motorola Cliq to have GPS voice guided navigation.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12076390
That is how I accomplished it.
If you have a hardware GPS, then you only need the 1 app, which is even easier, but I still recommend wifitether or barnicle for data access (you can download the maps for offline use if you plan ahead.)

I actually tried those apps to no avail, which is why I started looking for the other puck (not as accurate but easier to connect) and alternative solutions.
I actually had looked at all of the other (non- Google) nav apps for Android before to use with a now unused Droid (original) but found them all to be ... less than desirable for various reasons.
Note that I am NOT trying to discourage this project- it is possible, I am certain, but much like linux navigation software... lacking a certain "polish" if not functionality.

Bluetooth Internet

Here's the situation.
Phone: LG Rumor Touch.
Yes, it's a complete crap phone with J2ME. It however, has pretty awesome Bluetooth. Unlimited Data.
Tablet: Streak 7 ofcourse.
Can't do anything with above phone unless an app is designed for that purpose. Plenty of file transfer apps, but, alas...
I want to leech internet off my phone so I can browse the web when on the road. I'm only ever without a hotspot when I'm stuck at Rite Aid for three hours while my mom is shopping (the perks of being the only unlicensed 18 year old). It'd also help so I could use the tablet as a replacement for my sister's tomtom when we go long distance (2 inch resistive screen? I might as well use my Rumor!).
Any tips or app recommendations?

Does the rumor have wifi?

It does not. It has Bluetooth and USB, and when usb connected to my PC, I can use it as a modem, but without buying a dock for the streak, that wouldn't be a viable solution.

If your phone's rooted, install this:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
It'll let you tether over bluetooth.

So far as I know, you can't root a Java phone, but thank you.

Thought it was a MyTouch Android phone; reading comprehension fail on my part.

I don't know if the LG Rumor Touch provides Bluetooth data access via DUN (Dial Up Networking) or PAN (Personal Area Network) profiles, but there is an app on the Market Place (Nook Color Bluetooth Tether) that will enable a PAN Bluetooth profile on some Android devices. It is intended for the Nook Color, but it may work on the Streak7 also. You will need to root your Streak in order to try it out.

Streak's already rooted, I'll give that a go.

bluetooth tethering
I'm curious too.
Running stock 2.2.2 rom (rooted) on DS7 (wifi only), I tried tethering with htc vogue running winmo 6.1 and htc vogue running cm7, no go. I tried using pdanet (both on ds7 and htc vogue cm7) nook color tether, and android wifi thing. No go.
Any solutions would be awesome.
Wifi is a battery drainer. Bluetooth much better as far as battery conservation.
thanks.

I might give this a try... but
1) This tethering program seems to be over WiFi not Bluetooth?
2) What build are you all using with a good Bluetooth stack?
but on my DS7 w/Honeycomb just power cycles on off...
when I click
Bluetooth
Turn on Bluetooth
it says "Turning On..." (grayed out) & then just cycle's back like it's off.
I might have to wait for a new build of HC

The app does bluetooth and WiFi (it's in the settings). If you want a stable ROM, either stay stock or use something like this (I use it pretty much just to have the black notification bar). DJ_Steve's HC port is an amazing feat, but it's still really buggy (mainly due to it coming from devices completely different than the S7).

Has anyone found a solution to data tethering the Streak 7 to another device via bluetooth?
I've got a Blackberry that will allow tethering over bluetooth, but the Streak 7 (T-mobile 4 G with stock ROM) doesn't have the proper bluetooth stack to do DUN. And it doesn't "connect" to the BB anyhow (although it pairs, and when paired I can send contacts to the Streak from the BB just fine).
