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.

[Q] Forgotten wireless network

Ok I'm a moron.
I accidentaly told my nook to forget a wireless network and now I can't get it back. I've looked all through settings and don't see anything that would allow me to reset this. I've tried scanning as well.
I'm running gingerbread the CM7 mod.
Sorry I tried searching but when you look for something like 'resetting' you get a lot of threads about resetting back to stock which is not what I want to do.
Is there a way to I don't know purge the wireless settings so it will search for networks that it has been told to forget?

When you tell it to forget it doesn't blacklist a Network, it just Removes it from your preferred Networks and forgets the Password. It should reapear on the list of Available networks if in Range.
If it won't show up even when standing next to it do this.
-Download Wifi Analyzer from Market.
-Open App Punch Menu and Tap View. Select AP List.
-Look for the Network and Tap it. It might prompt for a Plugin from Market. Just Download and continue.
-When Window pops up put in Password and hit Connect. TaDa it should now work.

Well I don't know if its a glitch in system or the mod itself but when I got home my nook wouldn't connect to my home network either. It kept saying I was out of range even when I was sitting in the room with the router.
So I ended up just reinstalling gingerbread. My instal was only a week old do no real biggie for me just annoying.
Ill just make sure not to ever forget a network again as it apparently Jones up my system
Thank you for the advice though.

Hey I have the same problem going on right now. My system wont connect to anything. The wifi status just keeps saying connecting and then will eventually turn off. I think I am going to use this as an excuse to try out Deeper-Blue's Honeycomb preview.

Google's WiFi Tether app

Has anyone been able to get any version (2.0.7 or 3.x beta) of Google's WiFi Tether app working on their rooted Droid Bionic? Link to app
It didn't seem to work for this guy at the end of the video: Link
For me tethering is critical for work and I don't want to activate my Droid Bionic (which is coming tomorrow) until it can be confirmed working. Will keep using Thunderbolt for now... I can also imagine this is a huge issue for many other users.
However, I am aware that Motorola devices need some kind of device profile in the "Change Device-Profile" option in the settings of that app, has anyone played around with that, maybe choosing the Droid X or other Droid?
Any feedback greatly appreciated...

I hope you find a solution soon, I also have the same problem

Don't bother until a custom ROM comes out that can "hide your ass".

Since it is for work, paying for the monthly tether should be a business expense.

I tried some of the work-arounds on the net... barnacle did not work for me... choosing the droid x profile in device setup at least showed my wifi hot spot, but I could not obtain an IP... I had also noticed errors about dhcp in the log.

exactly, in the mean time your going to be stuck using PDAnet and a USB cable.

Got it, rooted it, figured it out. Use version 2.0.7. Change the LAN option to 10.10.1.x
Also it only works in ad-hoc mode but at least its a start. I'm sure updates will fix it.

Woot! I don't own one but I am glad you got it going perhaps a screenie of some data transfer?
Also try this with the 3. beta if you don't mind

Can't get 3 beta to work at all but it doesn't offer anything other than ad-hoc mode also. Also doesn't show data going through on the app. But hey at least it works.

Can anyone confirm the 2.0.7 wireless tether working?

not working
2.07 not working for me even using the 10.1 network. clients fail to obtain an IP address.

Same problem here - wifi tethering not working...

The newest 3.x didn't work for me. Has anyone tried manually setting the client's IP/Gateway/DNS? I don't remember what the dhcp issued on my incredible, otherwise I'd go grab my laptop and mess around with different static settings.

It takes a long time I noticed. Wait for the little blue notification icon to appear that shows the device is connected. Can take as long as 3 minutes sometimes but it works for me I assure you. The key thing is the 10.10.1.x network which is still unblocked because VPN's can use that network, anything other than that won't work.

I can't get wifi tehthering to work but just using the phones built in usb tehering option works and does not send me to a page to subscribe for tethering. Don't know why this works but if I try the built in wireless tethering it says I have to sign up. EDIT Was working on launch day but tried again today and won't work so I guess the system wasn't updated the first day I tried it.

Hi,
I found way to enable Hotspot without Verizon Provisioning. I used SQLLite Editor to modify settings.db for "Settings Storage" application ( com.motorola.android.providers.settings ). Set entitlement_check to 0 and reboot the phone.

I just tried this. It appears to be working. I was able to connect and browse from my laptop. Now the question is, does Verizon still know I'm tethering even though I'm not paying to tether?

I second. Works for me a well, with no warning or pop up. Cudos to you my good man
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium

Just did it and all seems fine so far.
btw, WOW. Ive never poked around the databases like that. Everything from the hdmi overscan to wifi info is in there. That is So cool.

Works for me too! However, only works properly with WPA security. If Hotspot is set to "open", you can connect but get no internet...

[Q]I am having wireless connectivity problems

Hello,
Today I have bought a Moto X.
I can't set it up because it doesn't want to connect to my wifi.
I have restarted my router and my phone countless times.
I have turned off the firewall on my router.
I have cleaned the cache on my phone.
But I am still having problems.
When I tap on the network I want to join and tap on "Connect" nothing happens, I get no error messages, nothing!
The connection bar just goes from 4 bars to 1 bar and after a second back to 4. (I am sitting next to my router.)
Sometimes, it says it's connecting but it stops after a few seconds.
The phone has Android 4.4.4
Can someone hlep me please? Thanks!

Much more info....rooted? unlocked? which variant?
If rooted, use root explorer or similar to browse to /persist and tell us what files you have inside...
Lots of people have borked their /persist partitions and this prevents WiFi from working...
Or it could be a hardware failure. Only step-by-step troubleshooting will give any insight into this, but need additional info.

Thank you for your answer.
I have not rooted the phone.
It's an unlocked model.
I think my router is having problems because I am at my sisters house
and I can connect to their wifi without any problems.

Good deal! I'd say you have your answer. Try resetting your router (should be a reset button on back). Aside from that, contact the manufacturer or replace the router...we can't really help with router troubleshooting here.
Good Luck!

Turn on/off mobile hotspot

I know I cannot be the first to ask this but I cannot find a good answer. I have a verizon phone and I tried to create a tasker action to turn on the mobile hotspot and it fails. I used the wifi tether option. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this to work?

I'm pretty sure toggling radios needs root? I can't seem to find it right now, but there should be a "use root" checkbox somewhere in the action edit.

Can anyone confirm this? My Motorola Turbo 2 never had a root solution. Believe me I've been waiting 2 years for one.

I just setup a simple profile to test this. I had tasker turn the hotspot at a certain time. No issues, root wasn't needed(doesn't even give option to use it). What conditions are you using to turn it on?

I can't find the "use root" setting in mine...actually I can't find it in any of my profiles/actions, which is weird because I know I used it for something .
I've been using this for awhile to connect to my car head unit (Honor 6X/Cricket Wireless):
Profile State BT Connected CAR KIT ==> Action WiFi Tether Set On
with an exit task to turn WiFi back on/hotspot off when the BT connection drops.

Well, I am using Verizon Jetpack mobile WiFi Hotspot device and it's working pretty fine. I have it for 6 months now.

The Secure Settings plugin has a WiFi Hotspot toggle that works well.

All u have to do is make the profile task and tap play button. That way it will tell you if Tasker is denied/granted SuperSU rights. No need to install secure settings anymore. Just tap Grant to SuperSU. Also, check your SuperSU app as sometimes it denies Tasker automatically
