Hello,
I have a nook color and a "dumbphone" (samsung s5600) which has 3G and bluetooth, but no wifi. On my ipod touch, i use an app called iBluever to share my phone's 3g connection over bleutooth to my ipod touch.
I've searched and searched, but couldn't find an android app to do that. There is one PDAnet, but your phone has to be an android phone too, in order to work because you can't enter APN info in the client app.
Does someone know an app to let me share my dumbphone's 3G connection over bluetooth to my android tablet?

Not sure if your phone can create the PAN socket needed, but if so...
I think my phone supports PAN, so this should be perfect!
But i can't download it from the market. It gives me a download error every time it try. Can someone provide a link to an apk?
Solved the problem and installed the app.
But how do you setup a PAN network? Is there a J2ME app for thatN

Can't believe it.. It really seems not possible to share my PC Internet connection to my Android phone (HTC Desire), because Android OS simply forgot the option to add a new connection..
It is NOT thetering 3G internet to my desktop, but the other way around..
Sooo easy on a Windows Mobile, Simply possible on Symbian with gnubox. Why suck up my 3G data plan if I have a perfect Internet connection just in front of me most of the time. Of course, at work for example there is no WiFi available.
Bluetooth PAN would be great, it is available on almost every laptop. Wifi Ad-Hoc is also an option, but is not detected by Android. Why? Is Android sponsored by Telco Companies or something?
Searched for a while and found a discussion where someone says: "Yes, if you root your phone, and you are happy to mess around editing the wireless config files to add an ad-hoc wireless connection.
But why is'nt there a simple app to do this?
Problem: Have a Samsung Galaxy Tab, and a Blackberry Bold 9700. I want to use the 9700's 3g Internet on the Tab.
I have been experimenting with this app on the Android side:
android.gval.biz Bluetooth Dial up Network
This App so far has not let me connect to the Bold. I am wondering if anyone can recommend an alternate app that will work on the Tab. This program is about the closest I've seen to a solution, allowing me to modify the connection script to account for my carrier's APN settings. For whatever reason, it seems like the software can't even utilize the BT hardware on the Tab itself.
I am currently looking for Blue Soleil for Android. This also looks like a promising App.
The concept should follow how I tether to the 9700 using BT DUN on my laptop. Wouldn't something like this be relatively easy to do on Android?
I would really appreciate any input or thoughts on the subject.
I too have been trying to do the same thing. Surely there is a way / app that will allow tethering. Anyone found a way?
Hello All,
XDAndroid 2.2.1 (fxr04)
After some trail and error I have CSipSimple app working as my voip wifi app on an HTC Touch Pro phone on my lan.
Problem: I can never get the phone to register to my LAN/server , remotely.
I have,of course tried all the extra 'proxy server',etc, settings.
I have two of these phones and they both register fine remotely using PortGo under WinMO so i know this is not firewall related.
I run into this same scenario quite a while back trying to use the native WinMo sipstack. It too, would work ok on lan but no wan. It appears the stack simply can not traverse nat correctly.Thus I had to use a thrid party(PortGo) app.
Note: I ONLY use this phone under wifi(I'm cheap).
Has anyone else gotten a reliable voip app for the Android phone?
Thank You,
Barry
i connected my blackberry bold 9780 to my laptop and i use it as a modem. i then used virtual router to share the 3G connection to my motorola xoom wifi. i can go online using google chrome just fine but all the other other apps, whether default or downloaded, refuse to connect online. im wondering if it's an adapter setting that i need to adjust or something. p,lease help. i am very frustrated at not bein able to use internet depending apps. it breaks my heart.

I don't understand...you are basically using your Blackberry/laptop configuration to make a mobile hotspot, right? If the Xoom can access the wifi signal for one app it should be able to for any app. Maybe I'm missing something. Can you give more explanation?

I connected my blackberry bold which has 3g to my laptop which broadcasts the connection via wifi. The chrome browser and android market and other goodies apps connect but installed apps don't connect. Plus I recently bought a huawei e5 mobile 3g wireless router. I got my xoom connected to the network but right now only the browser goes online,. The other apps just do not. I don't know what other piece of detail I can give other than the fact that my Xoom wifi is not connecting to 3g networks broadcast via wifi. Any ideas?
This is really very strange... I switched my 3G-Xoom into flight mode and then activated WiFi (so it basically behaves like a WiFi-only Version) and connected it to my mobile (Samsung Galaxy S) and all apps are able to access the internet. Connecting ist to a UMTS-Router (Option GlobeSurf) also worked like a charm...
Did you try to connect your Xoom to a WiFi-Router at home (= Internet access via cable not UMTS)? Does this work or do you encounter the same probs?
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.
