is there an app that will allow the user to display and send/receive his sms/mms on the pc when the phone is close by and connected to the pc by bluetooth?
i remember the nokia pc suite had this feature
wonder if its also available for android
You can send/receive texts through Google voice on the web page

i know about that
also, thats only for US and you need a separate google voice number
i was thinking of using the features like bluetooth pairing to do such thing using the same number from the sim card
if im not mistaken, those features were on nokia and sony erricson phones
Pdanet does that, at least for sms. But I'm not sure if the free version works, probably does, and I'm not sure about bluetooth connectivity either.
I tried usb tethering with pdanet and the pdanet program on pc receives and sends sms.

I currently get a really cheap contract call deal on my mobile phone calls and would like to use it for making business calls. I currently use SAGE ACT for my customer database, and with my current setup I am able to dial customers on mouse click. SAGE ACT interfaces with the windows dialer software that dials out though a modem connected to my landline and enables me to talk with a headset on the PC. My question is does anyone know how to setup an android phone with windows dialer so I can automatically dial customers from a database and use a headset? I really don’t want to have to manually dial calls from the database on the phone and physically hold the phone? If it is not possible to get this working with an Android phone, does anyone know of any other phones that may enable me to do this?

Hey there, back then i use to pair a blackberry pearl 8100 with my laptop and used it as a bluetooth modem, from there i set up Act to dial through the blackberry modem, i then paired my bluetooth headset with the phone and i was able to make calls directly from Act, i was also hoping i could do this with my hd2 and android installed but so far i haven't found a solution, i tried pdanet which is an app for android that can be used as a bluetooth modem but so far i still cant dial out in act or windows dialer, i think theres some missing drivers but so far i still havent found any drivers that will enable this to work, im hoping someone out there has a solution.
I am curious about the way the android system can communicate text messages with a pc. Using PDAnet, I know that it is possible to receive and send text messages on my windows desktop, while simultaneously surfing the net. Would it be possible to implement a similar system into one of the various wifi tethering apps? Maybe even make phone calls from my pc and send them through my cell line using my laptops wifi? With 4G speeds I can see more people using their cell phones as their daily use routers, and a program like this would make it more convenient to communicate while leave your phone in a central location in the home or office. Just wondering if anyone can shed some insight into this. Thanks!
I am using ARHD ROM (with Bricked Kernel).
My car can access and read out RSS threads and has a lot of interactive media functions, including being able access the internet via my bluetooth enabled phone. But I can't seem to get it to work fully, and really don't know if it is a ROM / Kernel / Phone issue or a car issue. I just don't know enough about the various bluetooth protocols etc, and as much as I research it, I keep going around in circes.
The car will connect to the phone and work fine as a bluetooth headset for telephone calls. It will also display the caller picture without issue and will access and read out my emails (using stock sense Mail client) and SMS messages. It also seems to connect to audio OK (although I never use it as it has a USB port that will accept a pop drive, so all my music is on the dashboard).
But the internet connection doesn't seem to work. I have looked into this and can't work out if it is a PAN or DUN profile issue. Soemtimes I can get the phone to show an internet connection being available to the car, sometimes it doesn't depending on which ROM I use and I can't seem to get any to work regardless.
Looking on the website, it claims the following:
How can I configure my mobile device for internet or BMW TeleServices usage?
In the operating manual of your mobile device you will find instructions on configuring “Access Point Name (APN)”; other names for this may be “Internet Settings”, “Modem Settings” or “Tethering Settings”. The required settings are available from your service provider. Please note that most Sony Ericsson mobile devices only recognise the first entry in the APN list, so it is recommended that all other APN configurations be deleted.
Can somebody please help me with this. I really am baffled as to how to get this to work.

It has been a year or 2 since I got bluetooth networking going. Today I tried to get my phone to connect to my windows 7 desktop and.... it couldn't even connect sadly enough. Anyways this is from memory so it may or may not be correct. I don't like posting incorrect stuff because you never know who will read/flame.
1. pair your phone to the other device
2. connect via bluetooth your phone to the other device
3. I used the app in the link below to turn on bluetooth tether. Your kernel needs to support this feature. Just a note, there are 2 apps off the link. One is wifi only, the other does bluetooth and wifi. Assuming you get this app, turn on bluetooth tether. I don't know if you should turn tether on then connect bluetooth. Maybe it doesn't matter.
4. This step I don't quite understand. The bluetooth tether should "offer" a network service to the remote device. The remote device in turn must recognize the service and use it. DHCP is the easiest to auto configure everything. If you need a name server, use 8.8.8.8 since that is a public dns server by our google overlords.

Okay, So I have been searching and searching and still can not find the app that I am wanting. I want an app that works just the same as the SMS notifier app that connects to your PC via Bluetooth with the ability to just quick reply rather than having to go through an entire app like for instance SMS Center. I have Sprints GS3 4.1.2 and Windows 8 computer that has Bluetooth. Anyone got any ideas?
so connecting the mobile to the PC and handle your calls on the computer is straightforward, why not the reverse? or am I too dumb to work it out?
specifically - I want to connect my mobile via Bluetooth to the computer so that I can then take my calls (for ex. on Skype) on my mobile... and before you suggest I take the call directly on my mobile: no can do - in the office we use an application which cannot be installed on 3rd party PC´s, let alone mobiles, so my only chance for wireless comm would be to use my mobiles bluetooth (or buy myself a headset, but I'm too cheap )
anyone know how?
thanks in advance
