bluetooth obex

What can I do with bluetooth obex?
Anyone else not able to search xda using the stock g1 browser?

with bluetooth obex you can send and receive files via bluetooth as long as both devices are rooted.

both devices have to be rooted? Perhaps I am reading into that too much but you can't mean we can only share with other android phones right?
I saw it says bluetooth FTP... which made me wonder if I was missing something, like if I could do stuff with my computer remotely. What is the significance of FTP on this apps name *when you open it*.
Sorry, would be nice if you could search on here using the G1s browser.

Bluetooth File Transfer Protocol meaning its a program used to transfer files over the Bluetooth Frequency.

so it is android to android only then?

Nope, I connected to my iMac. It can share with any other device that has the bluetooth file sharing enabled/available.

connected to my friends nokia 6265i ... its a regular phone not a smartphone .. was able to view his files and everything ... loving the new bluetooth app

ok so then how do you enable the file sharing etc on android ? I was trying to test with a friend of mine who has an android, and was unable to find the setting any ideas? thanks!

Yeah, my buddy has an iPhuckinsuck, we let our phones become available, we scanned, we paired, but then we could not connect, even after I entered the correct PIN for his phone.
Perhaps I just don't know how to connect, but I have yet to connect with a phone correctly. Same scenario with my wife's BB. Could not connect.

[Q] Reverse tether

I have searched this topic but they all centered on Macs or got off topic or someone gave an answer that didnt even solve the solution. So i thought i would ask myself. Is there any way to share my LAPTOPs wifi TO my DROID3???

http://bit.ly/uGGo0Q

to the poster above; i dont like smarta**es. my post said i already searched so if you found something then post a link.
to everyone else i want something via usb or bluetooth. preferably usb. i have googled it and all the results are either hardware specific, need unbunto [i have windows 7] or dont have a solution. If you ever owned a zune [who has? lol besides a few of us] or a windows phone, they can do it from stock.

I have a bluetooth usb adapter on my laptop I am not sure how it does it but it allows me to get online with my droid 3 via the bluetooth link, I click on connect via access point and it works. Sometimes it works and sometimes the signal gets killed, but try connecting through a bluetooth usb adapter.

I know you said preferably over Bluetooth or USB but have you considered trying something like a virtual access point for your PC? It would require WIFI but you could run a software app on your PC that broadcasts as an access point that you could connect to from your phone.

You have a phone that is wifi capable, but you want to thether to your pc to use the wifi connection.
Oh and I hate smartasses too.

do you know the name of the adaptor? this sounds perfect

ASUS bluetooth adapter I got it from meritiline a couple years ago, just been using it recently. And all I did was turn on the bluetooth on my phone and it worked, didn't download any software or anything.

That's funny as he'll.

Your telling me I was just fooling around with my phone and laptop on day, and clicked on a link and boom I was online. I looked at my signal and was thinking "what the hell just happened?" lol

Ifnyou have windows 7 just install connectify
Google it (smartassingly probably just add a .com to that..)
It adds an AP virtual. That sjould not spend alot more of power as you have already wifi running.

If you laptop has Bluetooth (It should, I thought all Intel wifi chipsets in laptops were also Bluetooth) then what you want is a PAN "Personal Area Network". I thought the basic bluetooth stack in Windows supported this out of the box. (The Toshiba BT stack I used with Windows XP did, I don't know for sure about the MS BT stack in Windows 7 though).
Then you just turn on Internet Connection Sharing for you Wifi adapter to the Bluetooth PAN adapter.
Something like that anyway. I'm going from memory on the Windows side, and assuming the Droid 3 (etc.) supports PAN on its Bluetooth setup.
Doing it with USB though is trickier. On Windows 7, my ME863 appears as a network device with IP address, but I don't know if it'd work if I simply used ICS to share a link to the device because I don't know that the phone would be looking for a DHCP server. (It _is_ a DHCP server at this point)

Are you sure your not using the phones 3g or wifi. Did you try turnin on airplane mode and seeing if you still have internet

I just had a play, and I don't think my bluetooth solution is as easy as I'd hoped.
My Milestone 3 was able to join a PAN with my laptop and form their little adhoc network.
The best phone-side instructions I could find are at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=666988 however a look around suggests that Windows 7 ICS won't let you share a network connection _to_ a BT network. I certainly couldn't see a way, although possibly it was because my phone is exporting a default gateway, rather than because of any inherent limitation of Windows.
It's a starting point, but not a particularly promising one. Whether ICS can be made to share Internet to the bluetooth PAN or not is really the only sticking point for "possible" versus "impossible" but a root-enabled App or possibly custom ROM would be needed on the phone to move from "possible" to "easy".

Can you/did you try setting up a network bridge w/the bluetooth adapter and whatever WAN you're using?

Just had a quick go, and it wouldn't bridge 'em.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com.../thread/84731dc8-0b23-433b-a58b-a0a2d41d93be/ suggests that a third-party Bluetooth stack would work though, just not the MS stack.

Bluetooth Sharing

Hi everyone
Well I had Jelly Bean for a long time ago (since they ported it) and now I'm on ParanoidAndroid 1.9.2.
I just wanna know how to activate tethering from my Mac using BT cuz I left my AirPort to a friend ... I just want to notice that tethering WiFi connection over BT in Jelly Bean is working very well but slow connection (BT speed : 1MO/s)
So can I do the revers by Sharing Internet via BT Pan. Other thing : the recognise the BT sharing from my phone as a Pan connection not DUN.
Thanks for any help!

I got a better solution for me. Get the AirDroid app from the playstore. Deactivate mobil data and create a mobile wifi Hotspot with your phone. Connect your mac or PC and share your files.
hope it is a possible solutions for you.
Edit:
Sorry, didn't get it right. You can share your Internet via USB too. Should be handled with good speed.

Can Mini Wifi shared by PC

Hi,
I want to know the possibilities that can we share our mini WiFi by PC, but PC does not having WiFi only wired (Ethernet). We sharing internet (Modem) by tethering so any possibilities we can share our Android WiFi as PC WiFi.

minimum Bluetooth is required by the PC
turn on wifi tethering on your mobile and switch on Bluetooth on PC then in connection area find the wireless connection and connect

OK, this one make me little clear but my another doubt is If you have a PC with wifi and my PC having no wifi, then i try to use Android WIFI as my PC WiFi temperaly, Is this possible.

there is nothing mentioned about the wifi
and no special button to activate it
so I can say that wifi is not there why not just try Bluetooth instead of asking

Ok great, as your suggestion if I use Bluetooth....
Describe me for example if ur laptop is defaultly enable Bluetooth, I want to communicate ur system thru Bluetooth, but my PC does not have Bluetooth, can I use my mini Bluetooth as a PC Bluetooth (possibility of sharing android Bluetooth temperarly as PC blutooth) ???????:beer:

I don't think if you can use your mini's wifi to have wifi on PC but you can try connecting through wifi and then through USB tethering supply data access to PC
not sure if this will work

Any way thanks, I just try and get back to u

From what I get,u wanna use ur wifi internet connection on ur PC(that doesn't have wifi), of course you can connect your phone to wifi and then use the wifi tether app to share internet via USB.

yeah, i did all that. the pc says that a "a usb device connected to the compyter has malfunctioned" after some reasearch, apparently windows xp does not support tethering it needs some kind of fix. what i need to know is how to do it.

Just buy a 10 dollar wireless USB antenna and tether via wifi

You really should update your OS. If its an old pc, try Xubuntu (lightweight Ubuntu especially for older pc). Just a thought.
