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!

Maybe I didn't see another thread if it does exist, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who's thought of this.
Is there any piece of software that will basically turn my Windows Mobile phone into a pbx/sip server, or else allow one to use my cell phone as the external phone connection? I think it'd be saweet to come home, connect up my phone to my wireless network, and then have sip phones around my house that connect to my PBX server that uses my cell phone for incoming/outgoing calls while its sitting nicely tucked away charging. That way, I could have multiple phones around the house that I can use to answer incoming calls to my cell phone, and to make calls out through my cell phone.
Anyone have any ideas or seen anything? Any reasons why this wouldn't work? I'm a developer(java/vb), so if there arn't many reasons why it can't be done, maybe I'll take it on and see what I can come up with.
I've seen the GE Cell Fusion stuff which is something like what I'm thinking, but I'd rather have some sort of PBX/SIP server that I can customize and configure.
There are mobile PBX systems. Maybe this is synonymous with mini PBX systems.
I was wondering if anyone knows of an app or program that will allow you to read and send Android SMS messages from your PC. I know you can do this using PDANet or other tethering apps, but what can I use if I do not want to use my phones data connection for internet on my PC?
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.

Bump. Anybody?

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.

Android: rooted HTC Evo 4G
iOS: iPad 2 wifi only, non-jailbroken
Getting files on and off my iPad is a bit of a chore and usually a workaround since this isn't native on iOS.
When I'm in range of a wifi network I can use an app like Files Connect on the iPad and connect to it from a file manager like ES on android. Or even easier is a dropbox account or even email, where I have reliable bandwidth.
But when I'm not home I'm stuck to 3G on my phone and this makes it difficult to transfer large images or documents. Does anyone have a good workflow for this that doesn't require jailbreaking my iPad or requiring internet bandwidth?
Thanks!
Come on XDA geniuses, I know someone has to have a workaround!
When using the phone as a hotspot it no longer appears to have wifi connectivity to the devices using it as a hotspot, like the iPad. I tried disabling 3G data to see if it would fall back to the wifi but no luck.
Can I create a wifi hotspot AND be connected to that same wifi hotspot at the same time?
Would like to know that, too, tried to send some data to a friend of mine on her iPhone, but I couldn't... Thought Apple now allows BT-File-Transfer?

I have the Droid Razr HD 4.1.2, it is rooted but not unlocked. At my school they have jammed my mac address from being able to use my mobile hotspot. They have only jammed my hotspot not anyone else's. So using a different mac address should work, but all of the programs I use are not working. I have tried the Mac address ghost which turns off every time I turn on the hotspot no matter the settings unless the interface is something different than eth0 or wlan0. I have tried the terminal thing, but I keep getting errors saying it doesn't read the "ether" comand when writing ":busybox ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55". So if anyone has any idea's that would be great.
We need more info what you mean, do you mean that you cant connect to your schools wifi or your phone's hotspot app is being blocked, if it is the hotspot from your phone I am not 100% sure but I believe its a FCC violation and can actually be cause for major fines in the high thousands to low tens of thousands of dollars.
As for the school wifi, best idea is to just not use the school wifi as they are strictly monitored and depending on if you use a alternate app for texting (one that sends texts or calls over the internet) they can monitor anything you send through the server.
