Hallo!
I've got an unusal problem...
I'd like to use my PPC (O² XdaMini) as a Bluetooth Dongle.
In my opinion there must be a way to connect the PPC with my notebook (that has no bluetooth integrated) via USB, and then to establish a bluetooth connection between my PPC and any other bluetooth device, which would finally be usable with my laptop.
This procedure is almost the same as using the PPC's integrated modem to get a webaccess with a notebook.
Of course I could buy a USB bluetooth dongle for my laptop. But there could be another way as well, isn't it?
Thx very much for your help, cheers
Sebi
have you got any answers?
I'm also looking for a "way" or " software"" to be able to do what you said. But I couldn't.
Did you have a solution.
This is a very common q - along with asking the same about Wi-Fi.
Currently, this is impossible.

Any one know how to get an internet connection working using an ethernet to USB adaptor?
I have one of these:

& an mini-usb adaptor but, plugging it all together doesn't seem to register anything on the raphael - suggestions welcome?
I'm basically trying to get an internet connection in hotel rooms (travel a lot) where the RJ45 is free but wifi is charged (stupid but common).
Unfortunately no drivers
While Windows XP and Vista are 'Plug and Play', meaning they have a driver for practically every hardware peripheral ever devised, WinMo is not - the device you have will do you no good without a WinMo driver.
instead, I would look into getting a small travel router that would provide you WiFi. It's another thing to carry, I know, but will end up being the least problematic and most direct solution.
Thanks I feared as much - is there such thing as a generic driver for WM6 network devices that could work?
The driver that shipped is labelled ADMTek, but googling I didn't find any drivers for pocket PC or WinCE
Ever since I got my TP, I’ve been using the Bluetooth function a lot, specifically to sync with my PC. What is weird is that at random times when my TP is connected to my Dell PC, the Bluetooth fuction will just shut off. I know it’s shut off because the TP will disconnect as well as my Bluetooth mouse. I have to turn off the Bluetooth adapter on my Dell laptop and turn it back on again.
Anyone else having this issue?
The problem is with your PC, not your phone. Make sure you have the latest bluetooth driver. I suggest searching Dell support.

Yeah, that's what I was afraid of.
Thanks!
I like to use my pc as a headset when making calls. I use the bluetooth software and everything works fine. The only thing is, I like the cable sync much more (faster, with charging, no weary clicking through bluetooth connection settings on the device,...).
So, I was wondering
1) if it's possible to use my PC as a headset over USB connection instead.
2)Plus maybe to activate calls using the PC. (I don't mean a complete control, like with MyMobiler)
3)Or if it won't be possible, any idea how to set a "one-click" PDA-bluetooth-PC connection? A shorcut using arguments?
I'm using WM6.5 Touch Pro.
Thanks for your ideas.
Hey everyone !
So here's the problem : I've got a Nexus 7 + Galaxy S2 I727R that I'd like to use at work. I could tether the connection from my S2 to my tablet and use that but I'm not on unlimited data plan. I also know I can share my PC connection via Bluetooth but that'd need a specific software to be installed, in the lines of stuff like BlueSoleil. Considering I have no admin rights at workplace, is there any alternative that would permit me to share the PC connection via a Bluetooth dongle without installing a software ? The BT dongle is detected AND installed via Windows 7 but there is no BT icons in the bottom-right corner and there's no built-in BT-software on the computer.
I did my research on the PortableApps forum, which would be a decent option but I can't seem to find anything...
Anyone had any luck sharing Internet over BT on a workplace PC ?
Thanks.
P.S : Remember, no admin rights.
Sorry you can't use a BT dongle without some sort of bluetooth software installed
Yes there are bluetooth dongles which are plug and play, which don't need installing drivers, see these ones for example
BLUETOOTH ADAPTER DONGLE PC LAPTOP-PLUG "N" PLAY - UK
Tiny Plug & Play Bluetooth 2.0 USB Dongle 100m range
Mini Bluetooth Dongle for Computers and Laptops - Plug N Play Transfer Files
Problem is all of them support Bluetooth 2.0 not 2.1+EDR, please advise and please help find a bluetooth dongle which is plug and play and is designed for bluetooth 2.1+EDR
Thing is, even with the bluetooth dongle working you won't be able to share Internet connection through ICS without admin rights. If anyone has a workaround on this, it would be appreciated!! I'd like to use my S2 more at work, but with 250mb / month it's left unused most of the day =/

I can't do Wifi at work, but Bluetooth is allowed.
My phone (Motorola Droid Mini XT1030) supports Bluetooth internet sharing, no problem. Tested it and it works.
Only problem is my PC running Windows 8.1 can tether to the phone and use phone's internet, but not the reverse. No way to reverse-tether to the PC via bluetooth that I'm aware of, and I'd like to stay wireless.
Got an idea to use a cheap old phone as a bridge. Reverse tether cheap phone to PC via USB using ReverseTethering app, then use phone's Bluetooth tethering to share that with my XT1030. Well, turns out this is not possible, at least not with Android. Author of the ReverseTethering app confirmed it.
So that got me thinking, how about old Windows Mobile? Used to be you could just plug a WinMo phone into the PC, and it was automatically reverse-tethered. Can an old WinMo phone share that reverse-tethered internet connection to another phone via Bluetooth?
If not, any way to do that with iPhone or Windows Phone 8? I still have my old iPhone 4S and can probably get a WP8 phone pretty cheap.
No idea about WM, but give this a try?

Thanks, but that's for ICS and below, all my Androids are on KitKat.
