Hi everyone,
Is it possible to enable Bluetooth DUN Profile support in the Transformer so that I can use my 3G cellphone (Symbian S60v3) as a Bluetooth dial-up modem?
Thanks!
No, it is not possible and will likely never be possible unless someone modifies the android code. I've been studying the problem for a while but can't seem to make any headway.

This stuff i now working perfecly in any linux system!
What would they need? Port ppp and some code from network-manager? Probably the mobile phone providers database also.
Does anyone know what is the reason why this is not implemented?
I have an HTC Desire HD (DHD), I was hoping to use the BT DUN or PAN from the TF to the DHD when I was out an about, seems this wont work.
Then I thought, OK, if I connect the TF to the DHD with USB, I can use tethering, that does not seem to work either.
Any thoughts?
You MAY be able to get BT-tether to work between your tablet and your cellphone if you install pdaNET on both, and your cellphone supports BT-DUN. I believe stock Android kernel doesn't support BT-DUN, but if it's rooted and the custom ROM supports it you're in business.
For me I go with wifi-tether ... it's much faster.
USB-tether would make sense, cos you can charge your phone at the same time (with your dock, I suppose). Problem is there's no phone driver for the Android tablet and I don't think there will ever be.
So, in short, if you have a Symbian phone there's no way to have Internet access in the TF101 through the phone.
This is not good news...
[Q] Bluetooth Dial-up Networking Profile (DUN) in 3G firmware?
Does anyone know if the 3G firmware version supports Dialup Networking through Bluetooth?
The complexity of supporting DUN should not be much bigger than supporting GSM SIM cards, right?
There is no joy for us blackberry users either.
I think that dual-booting a standard Linux distribution is probably the way to go...
According to lilstevie Network Manager is starting to work.
Then it's just plug and play, hopefully
Hi I am not expert so please forgive me if i am answer wrongly .
I manage to use bluetooth internet sharing to my TF but I am using Iphone 3gs and use Internet Tethering option.
Is that what you want ? I never tested using nokia phone.
As far as I know, tethering requires the mobile phone to act as a wireless access point.
Symbian does not support this natively.
I did find an application that would implement it, but it was purchasable only.
And I'm trying to find a free solution.
I managed to get this working in CyanogenMod 7.1... in theory it should work on any Android 2.3.7 based OS.
I'm going to write a howto geared for the end-user later tonight, but for now my notes are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352936

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?
Is it possible to connect two phones via WiFi? Does anyone have any idea on how make this happen that can point me in the right direction? I wanna work on this for my senior design project. I basically want to share the sdcard with another phone
Maybe having one phone as a hotspot, and the other connecting to it, or thru an already existent wireless network
Thanks
Anyone? ....
You can probably by creating one phone as access point and connecting the other through ad-hoc connection.
I never did, though had used this type of connectivity on PCs.

Probably you want to make something like that:
frostwire.com/android/
p2p client connects phones via WiFi and shares photo, music, video, documents
they have opened sources but not for Android version.
Sadly you'll need to hack android to allow ad hoc wifi. On another note, Bluetooth 3.0 is kind of what you are talking about but not like a NAS setup which you are wanting. BT 3.0 sets connects/handshakes two devices by bt then turns on wifi for faster speeds. The only devices that I know have BT 3.0 as of now are the Samsung Galaxy S's
I know that the CM 6.1 supports the USB Keyboard/mouse, but what are the odds of getting the Bluetooth DUN tethering support ported over from the Archos 101 and 70 devices? Would love to hear some insight from the devs about the feasibility of having such a feature. I would love to leave my EVO tethered to the GTab over Bluetooth instead of Wifi. It would be a huge battery saver when I'm away from home/office wifi connection.
Also, USB Keyboard/mouse as a part of TnT? Possible? Worth it? Not worth it?
I second the above. BT stays on 24/7 on my phone, it would be much easier, and ideally we could eventually come up with some sort of on-demand script or app that keeps the BT DUN profile active, without battery drain on the cell.
With this in place, the gTab could connect and disconnect to the cell phone as needed, just like DUN should be. Best case scenario is to not even have to do anything on the phone, just enable BT on the gTab (or leave enabled as desired) and do some activity that accesses the internet. This would trigger a BT DUN connection to the phone, which disconnects after a certain period of inactivity (or manually, as desired).
If I knew a damn thing about how to program, this is what I would be trying to create.
That said, I'm a willing guinea pig.
Really? No one else is interested in this?
I know one of you guys out there has a rooted phone with wireless tether. I'm just starting down the root road. I have a Dinc, but it's been factory since I got it... and will be until the weekend, the gTab has whetted my whistle for root freedom.
What happens when you try to pair your gTab with your phone while it's got BT Tether activated? Any BT DUN profile goodness?

Bluetooth Tethering a High Wish List Item
For me, getting the tablet to tether via bluetooth to my Blackberry Tour would be a high priority wish list item. I am completely in the dark with this stuff but I can tether my PC to my Blackberry so I should in theory be able to tether and use the network connection. I realize that most folks here probably have an Android-base smartphone, but my company makes me carry around their smartphone (and has the decency to pay for unlimited data plan). If I could get the tablet to work from the BB's network connection I would be almost complete on my wish list. I have gotten to the point of paring the two devices (but can't seem to get them to connect). I am using tnt lite 2.02 and my 9630 device has v 4.7.1.40 with 3G, CDMA connections.
Indeed, the hope would be that the BT stack within the gTab can take advantage of BT Dial up networking or Personal area networking profiles. Then we would be good to go. If not now, hopefully we can find a way to get that to work.
Really? No one care about Bluetooth Tether on this device?
You don't have to ask me twice Oops, you did.
I am extremely interested in a Bluetooth tethering solution for the gtab. It's the only way I will be able to get a 3G connection from my phone that won't be policed at work (non-corporate wifi hotspots are monitored).
I have a Nexus One Adnroid phone (running Froyo 2.2.1). I use the Wifi hotspot feature when I want hop online with my G-Tab (my work monitors wifi, as well but I only turn it on as I need it.) I can't speak for BlackBerry phones but any "rooted" Android phone should be able to act as a 3G/4G hotspot.
Wifi tethering should be faster, but USB tethering and keyboard & mouse support are needed and should work in the first place. (keyboard and mouse support at least should).
Need a program like http://android.gval.biz/ or ibluever for iphone/itouch then the g tablet would be my laptop replacement for traveling .

Are you looking for DUN over BT? If so, have you tried this:

I believe PDAnet requires client windows/mac software, and they haven't written client Android software.
I haven't seen anyone port the Archos home-grown BT tether to any other brand. BT tether isn't part of Android (I'm betting the cellcos in OHA demanded it not be built).
My wife has Joikuspot on her phone, so she wifi tethers on the G-tab.
I have unlimited bluetooth data, so I bought an Archos.

You are right PDANet wont work as no client for Android, but from my experience listed above blackberry refusing connections.... or may be GTab just doesn't opening connection properly.
When I check GTable BT device property from Blackberry side it can do only:
Handsfree Audio Gateway
Headset Audio Gateway
Object Push
AV Remote Control Target
.... there is no DUN in the list, so I suspect it just not supported by BT stack on device.... but also I have in same my laptop listed as well which doesnt have DUN in its services
The title is self-explanatory, will it be possible to create a homebrew WiFi tethering app with the new API's of the upcoming Mango update?
Thanks everyone
I'm very interested in an answer to that question myself.
If I'm not mistaken than these things won't just be up to the API's/Apps but also to your operator.
It just happened somewhen during the last year that i.e. O2 Germany opened this feature for iPhone users. I think to remember that I read somewhere that it's blocked for most of the O2 contracts nowadays (especially those with mobile internet including a "flatrate").
I am interested if it could be achieved with the new API's. Neither BASE nor O2 block tethering in the network, O2 only blocked it on the iPhone by not allowing the setting on the device. I could tether with my Palm Pre and N95 8GB since ever with both carriers.
And I don't' think a carrier can stop you from installing a Homebrew tethering solution

It's possible to do this today, nobody has yet. I was trying to find something open source in either C# or for WinCE/WM that I could port, but never came up with something meaningful.
I'm not entirely sure whether we can connect to ad-hoc wireless networks though. I suspect it could be done over USB either way.
What do you mean with "I'm not entirely sure whether we can connect to ad-hoc wireless networks though"? I want my PC to connect to a WiFi network, not my phone.
I can already tether via USB, because I have a LG Optimus 7, thx MFG Menu ;-). Coming from a Palm Pre that's not what I want.
I'd love to help, but unfortunaly I can't code at all :-(
@Cyruss89:
What davux meant was that you have to get your phone and your laptop on the same WiFi network, and generally that means using an Ad-Hoc network. Since the phone currently can't do Ad-Hoc (so far as we know), that's one problem in the way.
An alternative approach would be to have the phone act as a WiFi Access Point (broadcast an Infrastructure network). This is possible on the PC with some tweaking, but requires OS support, unless the OS exposes the capability directly to the user. An intermediate option might be to write a native app that can tell the driver to enter this state, if it even knows how (and if there is a usable API for doing so).
Anyhow, once you've got some way for the phone and PC to talk over WiFi, there's a few more things that are needed. An app like this isn't going to work with simply turnign the phone into a USB modem (which is what the current tethering apps do). The phone will stay connected to the network itself, but it'll need to basically re-implement something like Internet Connection Sharing in Windows. This means:
* DHCP server, so the PC can get an IP address.
* DNS forwarding, so the PC can resolve domain names to IP addresses.
* Network Address Translation, so that the phone knows what packets it needs to send to the PC(s) and on what ports.
Now, the code for all of this exists, and is even available in reasonably portable open-source C (BSD can do everything we need). Getting it to work on the phone isn't going to be trivial, though. For example, it requires the ability to open a low-level type of network socket that isn't going to be available in Mango. It also will require some work to port to WinCE, unless somebody has CE code for this already.
For now, I'll keep doing what I've been doing: tether my phone to my laptop, and use the laptop's Internet Connection Sharing and WiFi to share with other machines, if necessary.
don't know if you know this but i'll post it anyway
on samsung omnia 7 is already possible even without nodo update, here is the link
@keanu20:
USB tethering is already possible on *all* WP7 phones. It also has absolutely nothing to do with this thread, which is about WiFi hotspot capability (similar in purpose but more useful and completely different in implementation).
Thanks a lot for this post GoodDayToDie! Basically this means I have to hope that MS or Nokia implement the functionality by themselves.
Hope dies last.
So this won't be in Mango.
The reason HTC were able to do it was that they included a new WiFi driver in their HTC 1.29 Firmware update for their devices. Which is being pushed out by MSFT now.
Hi, I have Asus Transformer and Nokia E6.
Is any way how share internet from Nokia to TF? I tried some applications like Joico but they can make only HotSpot but TF probably cannot connet to hotspot.
I tried also some hotspots clients for android but they cannot find Joico accesspoint :-(
Any help? Can I share internet via bluetooth, wi-fi or cable? I have Revolver ROM with support USB dongle modem and it works but using Nokia would be much easier for me.
Thanks.

I use JoikuSpot, it does pretty good job, sometimes i even gat 7.9mbps,if you didnt hack your phone there is the light version that can fully server your needs
I know this is an old thread, but I am only replying back in the sake of someone else having a similar problem.
Basically, the Asus Transformer and a lot of other Android Tablets don't support ad-hoc connections out-of-box. The Joiku creates ad-hoc connections and the only way to connect to it with an android tablet is if the wpasupplicant file is modified so that it will work with ad-hoc.
There are numerous guides out there. A simple search of "ad-hoc android tablet" will give you some great results.
