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
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?
I'm one of those stupid ppl that bought the g2x way back when it was supposed to work on all sorts of bands and what not. Anyways I didn't keep up with the developing story over the spring/summer, went to the UK right after I got it, and after multiple roms/settings and reading a lot, found out US t-mo g2x baseband version apparently doesnt work on 3 and orange 3g networks here (or at&t in the US if i remember correctly).
Anyways i still need internet on my phone. I use a google voice number and when connected to a wireless router here, I could call anyone in the US via google voice and t-mobile wifi calling. It was pretty great. Plus its what i use to check all my emails, pay my bills, etc etc, so internet on my phone is pretty necessary.
We recently switched to a mobile broadband internet provider (connects to computer via usb dongle, uses a sim card on the 3 network). There is no longer a wireless router here. however, both the mac and win 7 home premium machines we have here work fine for internet sharing for other devices doin an ad-hoc wireless setup.
My problem right now is that I cannot find a ROM/mod/config whatever for the g2x that supports both 1) wifi calling, and 2) adhoc wireless connectivity hack that together would allow me to make/receive US calls from the network here. I've tried to setup different programs on each comp that are supposed to broadcast infrastructure mode, but they havent worked right or didnt work on win 7, etc. Besides, I use adhoc networks a lot and want my phone to have ad hoc connectivity enabled.
For enabling adhoc wireless, I've looked at some of the wpa_supplicant patch types for other phones and over versions of android, but havent found any type of g2x/2.3.3 .zip that works universally or separately. several i haven't tried because i'm not sure how much it could/would mess up the g2x.
I'm currently on Xboarder's 2.3.3 OTA tweaked http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158513 . As far as I can tell it currently doesnt support adhoc wireless networks. I don't mind moving to a rom with 2.3.4/5 or whatever so much, although I'd prefer to use something with the recent OTA, since they've been less buggy for me. I was doin the CM7 nightlies (having adhoc enabled) recently but also have serious APN problems with it which I imagine is tied to wifi calling not working for me with cm7.
Any questions or suggestions appreciated - I'm mainly just looking for a solid rom thing that supports 1) gapps, 2) wifi calling, and 3) wireless adhoc connectivity. anything else is superfluous at this point. also a working solution to establishing wireless adhoc connectivity on the g2x regardless of the ROM or not would be a dream (esp. after the OTA 2.3.3 update)...and as far as i could find not available.
Or, if someone has a good lead on getting reverse tethering or the baseband version updated to work in the UK (if possible), I'm all ears, but so far solutions in both of those directions have been difficult/impossible to track down.
There's a thread dedicated to this in the SGS2 forum. Maybe some of what's discussed is transferable.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1066102
one of the links provided in that thread included a how-to webpage for the galaxy S . the wpa_supplicant file provided there worked surprisingly (normally the wrong ones bootloop me). that is, replacing mine with that one worked on a g2x running xboarder's 2.3.3 ota for enabling adhoc wireless connectivity (as I am receiving internet connectivity over an adhoc network connection on my g2x).
however, wifi-calling/my account-device/ etc (t-mobile apps) are not working or not connecting, which issue i'll take up in the thread for the rom itself. the t-mobile APN is visible, which seems to be a positive thing.
also, the wpa_supplicant from the CM7 nightlies bootlooped it, although i guess might be expected to since the one i tried was from 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 i believe.
thanks for the help. think i'm one-step closer to re-establishing wifi calling here.
EDIT: wifi calling is working over the macbook pro adhoc network but not the windows 7 machine's network. the scope of the remaining issues seems to lie with windows 7 internet sharing and not the phone/rom. that is to say, the above wpa_supplicant file gives adhoc connectivity/wifi calling with at least one g2x 2.3.3 rom, and perhaps others. the general adhoc connectivity question comes up occasionally for different phones, and for 2.3.3 on the g2x it seems this is one solution.
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
Hi,
I'm currently running a stock Desire S and whilst I'm generally very happy with it there's one glaring omission - Bluetooth DUN tethering. I want to use my phone with the Mercedes Comand Online system, which uses Bluetooth DUN to connect to the internet. The default answer seems to be to use PdaNet, but I have tried the latest version 3.02 and it doesn't work. I know PdaNet works in as much as I can connect my laptop over DUN, but it won't connect through the car. I did wonder if it was because my phone is set up to use a proxy server on its connection but there's nowhere to enter this in the car - having said that, though, I did no configuration on my laptop and it just worked. I emailed June Fabrics who say they will try to support this in some future release, but in the mean time is there any other option?
Cheers,
Tim
Hi,
I'm new to this forum, but was looking all over the place to check how to get full bluetooth support with the DUN profile on my stock HTC Desire S.
Like tj80, I'm also keen to connect my Desire to my car (Toyota with the new Touch&Go system, which has DUN/PAN support).
Any ideas are welcome
I have the exact same issue with my merc as well. pdanet just doesn't work.
I don't really want to use a blackberry
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
I emailed JuneFabrics about PDA Net and also MobileStream about Easy Tether - both said they "might" implement full DUN but it's not a priority. I really don't understand why nobody thinks it's important given that it's the standard way of connecting mobile phones to other devices for data - TomToms for live traffic, lots of car manufacturers, etc, there was even an article on the BBC website today about how connected cars were the next big thing!
Cheers,
Tim
Download BlueDUN Trial app from Google Play, it works fine for Mercedes Benz Comand OnLine and also for Toyota Touch&Go (from version 1.12 )
New version was tested for Tom Tom Rider too
Thanks MikiBest. You made my day! Glad I could be of help
