Heads up to all the Americans (and probably others) out there- Sony has an awesome app called Xperia Link that'll let you connect your cell phone to your tablet and will let you tether your cell phone's data plan and have seamless internet on-the-go, as well as being able to send and receive text messages from your Z4. The catch is- AT&T (or someone) blocks it in the US and probs other places to. I suggest you try it out- you can get the apk here http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/sony-m...ink/xperia-link-2-8-1-2-android-apk-download/.
Install on phone or tablet?
What the French, toast!
It doesn't run on my HTC M8.

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

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
Hello.
I need to share my phone internet to other device - survey controller with WM5, via Bluetooth using Dial-Up Network (DUN) service after devices pairing. Normally for other Android phones this happens with software like BlueDUN, CobaltBlue2, CobaltBlue3 etc. , but when I'm trying them with my Sony Xperia Tipo- there is no Dial-up service appears on other device (survey controller) after pairing
Any suggestions for software or patches ?
Internet sharing via phone's Hot Spot works fine, but lead to much more consumption and is not good for prolonged work.

So, i'm using Galaxy R as my primary phone but have multiple phones. I have a Nokia x3-02 which i use to connect to internet on my PC. But i also use it to connect to internet on my Galaxy R via bluetooth.
For this i just have to switch bluetooth ON on both the devices and in my Galaxy R under the "Bluetooth" option there is a list of available devices. When i choose the "setting" button located on the right side of the "Nokia X3-02" i get the following option
Internet access(Use for Internet access) and a "checkbox" alongside it which i check and then i can surf internet using my Nokia X3-02's internet connection.(See pics for details)
My question is i do not get this "Internet access" option under every devices having bluetooth even on other high-end devices, why ?
What i need to do in order to surf the internet using other mobile's internet connection using bluetooth ??
Kindly help in this regard...
Obviously not all devices support bluetooth tetherint and that's why you cannot find it on every device.

Thnx Adam for replying but
How ridiculous it is that Nokia X3-02 supports bluetooth tethering(if really it is) or even my cheap Nokia 2700C but not the Nokia N8 or other high-end Nokia devices which i tried the same way i mentioned above.... so, i'm still doubtful about it
and is there any way to find out exactly which Nokia model support this feature... i can't find this out anywhr
My Dad wants to be able to tether his tablet to his phone using BT or Wi-Fi (BT is probably better as it uses less battery I think), so that when he's in the car he can use the phone's mobile data to get traffic updates for his SatNav apps on the tablet, which doesn't support mobile data.
I believe that tethering is frowned on by mobile providers but could I use a VPN or Tor (Orbot) to encrypt all the data traffic from the phone, so that the provider can't tell if it's originating from the phone itself or a tethered device?
Both devices run AfWall+, so what service/app on each device would I need to create rules for? I don't think AfWall+ has any options for managing BT access, only LAN, WiFi, Data (on devices that support that) and VPN.
The tablet is a Sero 7 Pro running 4.2.1 and the phone is a Huawei G300 running Gingerbread, although I'm trying to persuade my Dad to buy a Moto G 2014 DS like mine, as he does need to use two SIMs.
On my Lenovo S8-50 tablet, when I pair it to my phone it has a tickbox for "Use this connection for Internet" but if I pair it to my Moto G it just unticks itself when I try and enable it. The Sero 7 Pro doesn't even have this option, so I can't try it on that.
