Share internet from one phone to another via bluetooth? - General Questions and Answers

I have a Sprint Touch with unlimited Vision Plan( EVDO ).
I would like to tether the internet from Sprint Touch to Diamond via bluetooth.
Is this possible??

you can create an ad hoc connection through your sprint and connect to it with your diamond... or vice versa.

The only problem is, Sprint Touch has no wifi...thats why i was particularly asking about Bluetooth

Connect via bluetooth to another phone for data?

Is it possible on the T-Mobile Dash to set up a dial-up network connection over bluetooth?
I do not have a data plan on my Dash, but I have Broadband Access on my Verizon phone (tethering) and I want to use my Verizon connection on my Dash. I have been able to do this in the past with a Pocket PC version of Windows Mobile, however I cannot find the appropriate software to do this with my Dash Smartphone.
I've done my share of searching online, but I keep getting flooded with how to do DUN on the Dash to connect to a laptop, which is NOT what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to establish a dial-up connection FROM my Dash TO my Verizon dumbphone using bluetooth. I'm already sure my dumbphone supports DUN over Bluetooth (I connect with my laptop all the time).

Use Nokia internet on HTC TOUCH CRUISE

Hi Friends,
Problem 1-
i have Nokia E56 with internet enabled. now is there anyway that i can use that internet in my HTC Touch Cruise via bluetooth.
Problem 2
i have HTC touch cruise with internet enabled, i share it with internet sharing through bluetooth pan, so can i use this inetrnet via bluetooth on nokia or any other phone i mean i want to make network between phones so i can use one internet connection in two phones.
easy to solve can the nokia use wifi? if so then have a look for HTC Wifi sharing was 'released' recently
or use wmwifirouter which does allow for internet streaming over bluetooth if i remember correctly
You know also i do believe that google could have found the answer...
Then again does the nokia pick up bluetooth pan area networks?? That will be a BIG reason why this wouldnt work

Orange stated i can connect my phone to home wifi to boost signal? Anyone?

is this utter rubbish or what they told my misses if she buys the touch 3g it will connect ot out home wifi and boost signal as we have a low signal reception on orange in our area can anyone explain this to me and how my rhodium can do this also?
it wont boost your signal but obviously you will be able to suft the internet at much higher speeds just switch on your wifi in settings, it should give you a list of availible routers, pick yours, enter the wep key and your up and running
on that note I wonder how hard it would be to hack a, say, DD-WRT firmware set of routers to allow a repeater over the internet (for non tmobile users and their wifi calling! GRR)
I would love to modify a wifi router to catch CDMA/GSM instead of broadcast 802.11, then set it up VPN style to connect to another router that then broadcasts the signal instead of 802.11 (yes i know repeaters exist, but im talking miles away)
wow, first post here and I made myself a winter project! I have plenty of friends who would love to test it with me too ^^
now to avoid the red tape!
What they are talking about is UMA (google it for details) which basically allows you to route GSM traffic over an Internet connection via WiFi.
It's supported on Blackberries, some non-smart-phones (dumb phones), and the touch 3G. It's not supported on any of the other WM or Android devices.
Maybe someone on here can mod up a ROM for the rhodium to support this? It would need the radio from an Orange build of the Touch 3G. There may be other aspects to this as well.
yep the dude who likes trees is right - UMA is only supported on certain phones - one model of nokia, most blackberries and one model of HTC device - The Touch 3G. As far as I was aware though you need an Orange Livebox in order for it to work (Orange's broadband router).
It seems to work as I have a number of users using it at home with work provided phones (mainly crackberries) in areas of no orange reception- but from what I've heard in terms of feedback they're Orange Livebox isn't that great at range and also picks up allot of interference (one user regularly complains it keeps dropping connection).
thanks everyone that was what i thought. i will just have to get a nice ilegal orange gsm repeater on ebay then
My work blackberry works UMA over any wireless network that I have connected to, none of them are orange boxes or orange broadband.
At work we have mostly BT broadband with various routers and wifi access points - Draytek, cisco, dlink, 2wire from bt and at home I have talktalk with huawei and linksys access points.
Just wish I could get uma for other win mobile.

It's not technically correct, but might in effect be true if your phone supports UMA. This effectively routes a GSM call over your WiFi/ADSL and then via internet in Orange's circuit-switched core network. As a result if you previously could not make calls in your home on GSM, magically you now will be able to when within range of your router. They market the service as Unik or Unyk phone.

By the way the Orange UK Unyk/Unik service does not need an Orange Livebox or ISP to work - it is the "open ISP" variety of UMA

Router Problem

Hi i have a grandfathered tmobile Htc touch pro 2 and have been trying to use it as router, i can get it to work to share the internet connection to my pc, but i'd like to be able to share it also with my room mate who has an T-mobile G2 but when i use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4170499#post4170499 to share it does not apear on his wi-fi list, i think it's because is an ad-hoc connection
my question is.. is there other alternative to be able to share it without using a computer?

[Q] Use Win mo phone as bluetooth modem

I've got two sim cards and i'd like to avoid switching them or dual-sim adapters. First card is my main card for sms etc so is in my galaxy s. Second one has very good data plan. My old phone on win mo (touch pro) can share internet (3g) via bluetooth or via "wifi router" (ad-hoc). Second option does not work because android doesn't see ad-hoc networks. First option works on windows computer, but it seems that androd device cant use win mo as bluetooth modem. Is there any way to use both simcards in similar way?
BUMP!
I have a lg incite (win-mo 6.1) with unlimited data and a toshiba thrive tablet (wifi - bluetooth only) and would love to be able to do this!
very active forum yet nobody has anything to say about this topic?
My incite can share internet via bluetooth or usb and my toshiba thrive has bluetooth and usb host if anybody can point me in the right direction to make this work.
