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
HI,
I hope this is the right forum for this.
I recently purchased a new Huawei Honor U8860 phone which updated to the latest firmware version provided by Huawei (4.0.3) during the setup.
When I tried to connect it by bluetooth to my cars communication system (BMW) it connected OK, but some of the functionality that I used to have with my old Nokia N97 was missing - specifically it was unable to read SMS or emails via the bluetooth.
When I went into the advanced bluetooth settings (Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Bluetooth settings -> Advanced Settings ) there was no SMS, Message or Email options (only OPP (Object Push), PBAP (Phonebook Access) and Test Mode).
When I spoke with a friend who has the same phone he said that it used to be able to read messages via his cars bluetooth, but not since the firmware upgrade.
I've contacted Huawei but they are very poor at responding.
Does anybody know how I ccan resolve this issue? Is there an alternative ROM that I can use that will keep the functionality I have but add in the SMS/email over bluetooth functionality.
Many thanks for your help

You may try to install the BT app for Huawei U8860. Since, I may infer that you are onto ICS 4.0.3 so you might get that app easily for Huawei.

which phone is it ?
I want to use internet in my Nokia 6120 classic
I am studying the options to buy a S3, but I need to access my notifications when away from phone. Will they work through Wi-Fi? When the phone is at home and the s3 is connected to the Wi-Fi at work ?
And also can I reply through a qwerty keyboard ? Is there any option?
Thank you.

No, the watch needs to have a Bluetooth connection with the phone in order to receive notifications.
Wifi is only for using the internet (browser) on the watch.
Or you need to get your hand on a LTE version of the Gear S3, that one uses a (e)SIM and then it works as a full phone and you can receive notifications.
There are qwerty keyboards available to buy in the Samsung App Store, but I don't know if they work great.
Default a T9 keyboard is on the watch, which you can use. Also some pre-defined smileys are available to use as answer.
And finally you can use your voice to answer notifications (only some languages are supported by Samsung Voice).
Thank you. But LTE variant is unavailable in Europe and even if I can buy one from US, none of the operators in my country use e sim...
Too bad...
And gear s4 is far away..

What? WiFi on gear is not just for an internet browser. And there is not even a stock browser installed.
With WiFi enabled on your Gear you can use a remote connection to your phone. So if your watch is connected to a hotspot, it tries to achieve a remote connection to your phone and you can still receive notifications.
It has to be enabled on your Gear phone app.

ok....like android wear.
this makes the difference for me between buy or no buy...
Does it matter to be on the same Wi-Fi or not ??

No, it doesn't matter.
You can also just use your mobile network in your phone. This will work too, while the gear ist connecter to a hotspot.

Not true, at least not in my case,
I have never received a notification from my phone when I was out of BT range and still wifi connected,
But as soon as I get in BT range again, the notifications are coming in.
And no, there is no option for that in the Gear App nor on the watch.
Have you ever received notifications when outside BT range and still connected to wifi network ?

Yes, I have.
And because you don't believe me, here is a short video I made while remote connected (Remote verbunden = Remote connected in german):

You can enable remote connection in gear app on your phone (Settings > Gear Connection > Remote connection).
You HAVE TO enable it. Only connecting to a hotspot does not work.

The option is in Gear app, Gear connection->Remote connection. I would select Sync Wi-Fi profiles to confirm wifi connection as well.

Bluetooth is always activated on my watch and WiFi is set to automatic on/off.
If the watch looses the bluetooth connection, it automatically activates wifi and tries to connect to a hotspot. After a few seconds it switches from "standalone" to "remote connected".
This all works automatically.
But that only worked for me after I uninstalled all three Samsung apps on my phone (Gear App, Gear S Plugin and Samsung Accessory Service), resetted my gear and installed these three apps manually again from the PlayStore. Then I set everything up again. During setup, the phone asks if you want to use remote connection. If so, the gear app disables the battery optimization for the Accessory Service.

You should receive notifications back from the time you were disconnected. But I'm not 100% sure.
I activated the setting that the watch only receives notifications if I wear the gear.
And after I put the gear on, I receive all older notifications. So I think this will also work like this with a remote connection.

I was pleasantly surprised last night while throwing out the garbage that my Gear S3 went out of Bluetooth range then kicked over to Wi-Fi. While i was outside a text came thru and i responded while on Wi-Fi so it does work...

Weird.... I know the options and they are both enabled.
But still no notifications when connected by wifi.
maybe I have to reset my watch....
Well, another guy at work also has a Gear S3 WiFi only, and he was getting some notifications all morning long even though he had left his paired phone at home. I know for sure that he was at least receiving text messages notifications because I sent him a text message which he got the notification for on his S3, and he was able to respond using his S3 and I got it even though his paired phone was at home. So it does work even when the phone and the watch are on different WiFi connections miles apart. Impressive. I'm betting it's using the Samsung account associated with the watch and phone somehow to keep them tethered over WiFi in order to accomplish this amazing feature.

Sometimes it stops working me for, too.
Only way to get it working again is a gear reset.

Yes. Even the info text inside the gear app says that this is working via your samsung account.
So, Won't incoming call notification work when connected through WiFi ?
Hey! thank you! I recently configured that and works nice! at the begging was a little hard, after a few attempts, checking some Samsung account features, restarts both devices and testings, well, it works!
Hi
I've been trying to reverse tether my tablet for 2 days, without success. An app as Tetrd says "you are now connected", but nothing... AndroidTool finds my device, but it never reaches the end of the process...
So... any solution to use, via USB, my pc Internet on my tablet ?
Thank you
You can pair them over Bluetooth and use a Bluetooth PAN (Personal Area Network).

Thank you, i'll try this.
Edit : quite unstable here... still looking for usb reverse tether, hoping that it will solve a "latency" problem with an app (server on my pc, client in Chrome Browser on my tablet). Not sure that'll do the job, but i'd like to try...
