After this, you’ll need to set up a new modem using the usual Start / Settings / Network Connections / New Connection Wizard as is explained in the second half of 1.1.2.1.1. Here, of course, you’ll need to select "Standard modem":

Everything else is done in exactly the same way as under other operating systems: please refer to section 1.1.2.1.1.2.

(Also see THIS for a picture-less tutorial.)

1.1.2 Bluetooth

1.1.2.1 Windows Mobile

As with USB-based, wired tethering, the approach to Bluetooth-based modem usage mostly depends on the operating system version. Hence the two subsections that follow.

1.1.2.1.1 The Pre-WM5 AKU3 approach

Setting up a modem and a connection is a two-step approach. First, in Phone and Modem Options, you add a modem (by, for example, pairing the modem with the notebook). Then, using the name of the modem provided by the system, you set up a connection (with a real - or, as is the case with cellular connections like GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA etc., pseudo - phone number) in New Connection Wizard.

Knowing the difference is very important as it's in Phone and Modem Options that you can look up the names of your hardware modems connected to your desktop (and, incidentally, it's in here that you can define the so-called init strings, which will be of extreme importance with BlackBerry modems.)

The following two subsections show how Phone and Modem Options and New Connection Wizard need to be used. Note that I'll very often refer to particularly the second, New Connection Wizard-related section as it's with it that you will need to configure your non-Windows Mobile-specific connections as well. This is why I'll refer to it from the Symbian- and the BlackBerry sections too.

1.1.2.1.1.1 Bluetooth pairing the phone with the desktop in Phone and Modem Options

1, make the Bluetooth on your phone discoverable. On touchscreen-enabled Pocket PC phones, it’s done in the following way:

On touchscreen-less MS Smartphones, by selecting Discoverable in Bluetooth Settings:

2, go to Start / Settings / Control Panel / Phone and Modem Options. (Alternatively, you can quickly get here by entering telephon.cpl on your desktop in any command line - for example, Start / Run or Total Commander). Go to the Modems tab and click Add:
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
Click Next. The OS will search for a dial-up modem. In the following screenshot, it displays two. Of them, I select SPV C100 (the Orange name for the HTC s310 / Oxygen MS Smartphone):

Press OK; now, enter a passkey; for example, 0000. (Note that many tutorials state this should be as complicated as possible. This is completely wrong – the passkey is a one-time passkey only and can, therefore, be very simple like 0000):

On the phone, just acknowledge the message about being connected; then, enter the same code (0000) as on the desktop and press Next / Done (the left softkey) several times. On the desktop, just press Finish. You'll be presented a dialog like this:

There, I've highlighted the changes compared to the state before pairing the phone with the notebook; for your convenience, it was the following:

It's this modem entry that you will need to refer to upon configuring a connection in New Connection Wizard, which is the subject of the the following subsection.
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
1.1.2.1.1.2 Configuring a connection in New Connection Wizard

Now, on the desktop, go to Start / Settings / Network Connections / New Connection Wizard. After the initial Next, just press Next (that is, just leave the default "Connect to the Internet" intact):

and, on the following screen, select "Set up my connection manually", followed by Next:

The next dialog screen should be left alone (that is, the default "Connect using a dial-up modem" will be just fine):

On the next screen, untick the uppermost checkbox (if there’re more than one entries) and check the one ("Modem - Standard Modem over Bluetooth link (COM4)") that has just been added in Phone and Modem Options:

Note that, in some cases (particularly when setting up Windows Mobile phones as modems), there may two new entries Phone and Modem Options creates upon pairing the modem with the notebook. That is, Windows has the tendency of creating two modem entries upon discovering the first Bluetooth DUN modem if it's a Windows Mobile one. In these cases, just tick in one and if it doesn’t work (because it’s linked to another phone), just edit the connection, untick this one and tick another one. To do this, in the dial-up dialog (see the last screenshot in this subsection), just press Properties and, in the uppermost modem selector list ("Connect using"), just untick the current one and select the other as can be seen HERE. A case like this is shown in the following screenshot:
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
Now, enter the name the shortcut / connection should be called. It can be anything; in this case, I used ‘vodafone’:

After pressing the Next button, enter *99# as the phone number:

In the next username/ password input field, with most mobile operators, you don’t need to fill in anything. You, on the other hand, might want to untick "Make this the default internet connection" if you also have other, more preferred connections. Press Next:
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
On the final screen, it’s worth ticking in "Add a shortcut to this connection to my desktop" so that you can quickly find it (not just under Start / Settings / Network Connections) to connect:

After pressing Finish, the dial-in dialog appears. Just leave everything alone, except for ticking in "Save the user name and password for the following users":

Just press Dial and the connection is established.

Note that with both Pocket PC’s and MS Smartphones you’re required to have a connection set up for this to work. Otherwise, the system won’t even know the server (the APN) it should connect to. That is, if you encounter mysterious "Error 734: The PPP link control was terminated" error messages upon trying to dial out, make double-sure you’ve defined the right connections and that they do work in the built-in Internet Explorer Mobile. Note that this isn’t necessary with, for example, the pre-WM5 AKU3 Windows Mobile USB approach – there, you don’t even need to configure an access point on your handheld.

1.1.2.1.2 The WM5 AKU3+ / WM6 / WM6.1 approach

This will be MUCH easier than with the BT DUN approach.

1, start Internet Sharing on the phone

2, click Connect (the left softkey), making sure "Bluetooth PAN" is selected in the upper and an already-defined network connection is selected in the lower, "Network Connection" drop-down list. Internet Sharing will automatically make your phone discoverable.

3, start Start / Settings / Network Connections / Bluetooth Network Connection on the notebook. Click Add:

4, On the next screen, check "My device is set up and ready to be found" and click Next:
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
5, After the desktop finds the BT PAN-capable phones, it lists them. Select the one you’d like to connect to (in this case, "Werner Ruotsalainen"):

6, Click Next. On the next screen, just enter the passcode and do the same on the phone – in exactly the same way as explained in the previous subsection on setting up BT DUN.

7, after the successful pairing process, you’re returned to the Start / Settings / Network Connections / Bluetooth Network Connection dialog; now, it already lists the connection we’ve just set up:

Just select it and click Connect; the connection will be automatically set up.

1.1.2.2 Symbian

Making Symbian work is done in exactly the same way as the BT DUN in Windows Mobile – see section 1.1.2.1.1. In Symbian, you need to make the phone visible under Tools / Bluetooth / My Phone’s Visibility – make sure it reads "Shown to all".

1.1.2.3 BlackBerry

It’s pretty easy to set up a Bluetooth modem under BlackBerry. Basically, it’s exactly the same as with Windows Mobile and Symbian; the only difference is that you MUST supply the so-called "init string" to the phone. Without it, it simply won’t work. Note that there is an official, but long-outdated and, therefore, not recommended tutorial HERE.

1.	Start Bluetooth Settings on the BlackBerry; select "Allow another device to find me" as is depicted in the following screenshot:

2. On the notebook, from Phone and Modem Options, add the device as usual: Add, search for the device, select it:

UPDATE (Jun/05/2009): in the following update, I elaborate on

1. connecting via both PAN and DUN over Bluetooth (and Wi-Fi p2p) in Windows 7 (which is the same as in Windows Vista)

2. Symbian (Wi-Fi) news

3. Windows Mobile (Wi-Fi) news

4. what you should go for on the iPhone

1. Creating Bluetooth connections under Windows 7 (and Vista):

1.1 Creating DUN connections (everything but the later Windows Mobile phones)

As you will see, it's much easier and logical than under Windows XP. First, right-click the Bluetooth icon and select "Add a device".

Enter the auto-generated pairing number on your phone:

You'll be notified of a successful connection:

After this, the drivers will be installed. It's no problem if only the modem driver is found:
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
After this, right-click the Bluetooth icon and select Show Bluetooth Devices. Right-click the just-added phone and select Dial-up Networking / Create a dial-up connection:

Then, select "Standard modem over Bluetooth link":

After this, enter at least the pseudo dial-in number (in the screenshot, *99#) and make sure you give it a meaningful name (in the screenshot, T-Mobile BB):

After this, you're set: everything will work as expected. You can quickly access the connect icon by clicking the networking / wireless icon on the taskbar; just click the added modem connection(s) and select Connect:

Now, let's take a look at doing the same with BT PAN-based connections.
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
4.2 PdaNet 1.52

This modem app should be the one to go for.

It's able to work over both Wi-Fi and USB. With Wi-Fi, it's able to serve not only desktop Windows and OS X clients, but also ones that are able to create p2p networks on their own. They include Windows Mobile clients. This means you can even access the Net on your Windows Mobile-based handheld if it only has Wi-Fi, using an external iPhone.

Currently, its only restriction is that, directly, only one client can use its Wi-Fi at a time, unlike with all the Symbian- and Windows Mobile-based solutions, which allow for four or even more clients at the same time. Note that you may be able to further share the net on the notebook or desktop computer it's connected to; I haven't tried to find out how this can be done. One thing is certain: if you try to connect to an already-connected p2p network between PdaNet and a notebook (or any other client), the previous client will be kicked off and the new client will be the one to have access to the Net.

It also supports USB mode (unlike iPhoneModem 2.2.0), which really helps the phone: Wi-Fi network sharing quickly eats thought the battery, which isn't the case with USB connection. After the desktop side client (PdaNet Desktop) installed, it minimizes itself to the desktop tray; you can quickly access it there (and exit / disconnect when the connection is not needed). Note that not any desktop-side app is needed when operating in Wi-Fi mode.

As with iPhoneModem, it also needs a desktop-side, pre-existing p2p network. There's no desktop-side client (unlike with iPhoneModem) to create this; however, the online tutorial dedicated to this question explains creating a p2p network on the desktop very well.

It can also run in the background - that is, you can safely press the Home button while running the app and continue for example browsing the web or playing. It uses little CPU time when running in the background.

The unrestricted trial is usable for 14 days; the regular price is $29. A bit steep, but, taken into account how much better it is than the proxy-based iPhoneModem, it's well worth the price.

Note that PdaNet has clients for all the mobile platforms (except Symbian S60), not only the iPhone. You won't want to get the Windows Mobile one (as opposed to the iPhone one) as all it does is simplifying connecting via the traditional methods. No Wi-Fi access point modes or anything like that. That is, stay away from the Windows Mobile version: if you need Wi-Fi, both WMWifiRouter and WalkingHotSpot are far better. And, if you need Bluetooth or USB, you can safely use the built-in, already-existing support in the operating system.
[General Topics] x86:
does this method work if we are not on a 3g network, eg. a GSM network?

I mean I know it will be slow, like browsing on the phone, but is it possible?
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
It works.
[General Topics] luisemogan:
Hi dear friends,

Except for the somewhat weaker security some of these apps only support WEP, not more advanced encryption forms and the need for using ad-hoc connections and not the traditional Access Point mode, they can fully replace the currently still very expensive around 150-200 euros / dollars at least.

Thanks

Internet sharing message

Hi there

Thanks for the guide, very useful. Have one question though - I'm running Win Mobile 6.1 on an HTC Touch HD and whenever I start Internet Sharing and hit Connect, a message pops up that says

"To connect to this PC for the first time, the device must be made visible in Bluetooth settings. Do you want to make the device visible now?"

Is there any registry change or setting that can be altered to suppress this message? Since I generally only connect to my laptop, I have no need to make my device discoverable... have googled for a while and searched the forum but can't find anything on this.

Thanks

Hello Everyone

I have a Xa1 Ultra phone (G3223)

After 3 full days of searching how can i root my phone i have come to the conclusión that is not posible because of these failed attemps :

1.- My firmware stock versión (working property) its 48.1.A.2.109 i couldnt find any custom kernel nor recovery that Works with this firmware and because of that i cant flash it, so i cant root it.

2.- I could not find and older versión of firmware that had a custom boot.img or recovery.img so i could not downgrade my phone to root it.

3.-There's only 1 post i found on this forum that had a working custom kernel and recovery to be able to root a xa1 ultra Xperia, but his stock firmware versión was 48.1.A.2.50 so as it does not matched mine any attemp to flash it got me a bootloop

So in resume is there anyway i could rot my xa1 ultra phone or all of my assumptions on my researchs are correct?

my stock firmware is G3223_48.1.A.2.109 is there any way i can root it?

Thanks in advance for any information about the subject

The .101 downgrade went fine with flashtool, but the TWRP package I found on the janjan thread just boot loops. In fact, anything that I try ends in bootlooping, even fastboot booting an extracted kernel without modification (extracted with either AIK or flashtool).

I think this phone will be impossible to root unless we find the original 48.1.A.2.50 software.

[General Questions and Answers] rvonder:
I can't believe I'm still asking this in 2020, but casting audio and/or video content to DLNA has been a problem since Android's release -- and the situation hasn't improved, even in Android Q. I've used BubbleUPnP on rooted phones for many years to stream almost any type of audio content to DLNA. But I haven't been nearly as successful casting video streams to DLNA, with BubbleUPnP or anything else. Up to now, I've just lived with it.

But along comes the virus, so our very large church can now only meet via its live stream. Understandably, my wife wants to view the services on the TV vs. a tiny phone screen. The live stream displays perfectly in any Android browser, but I've been totally unable to cast/mirror it to either of my DLNA-equipped TVs. I can cast locally-stored .MP4 movies from my phone to either DLNA TV with BubbleUPnP. And I've even managed to cast previous services from the church's recorded video archive, which are simply recordings made from the same original live streams.

But for some reason, trying to cast the live stream itself always gives errors. I've tried every option in BubbleUPnP, plus every other product I could find in the Play Store that claims to support DLNA, all with no success. Both the recorded videos and the live stream appear as embedded objects within the church's website, but I'm assuming the live stream uses a different protocol that none of the DLNA casting apps can handle?

Yes, I might be able to cobble something together using a Chromecast instead of DLNA. But I have no other need for a Chromecast; am not even certain that it would solve the problem; and just hate to run out and give Google more $$ for functionality that should have been built into Android years ago. Unlike a proprietary Chromecast, DLNA is a widely-used standard. DLNA renderers are built into two of my TVs, and an audio-only renderer is included in my Yamaha AV receiver. I'd just like to be able to use them.

Any ideas welcome... many thanks!

I bought both these phones and was able to root successfully.

Following all the other guides, unlock bootloader etc. you extract the boot image, change to tar, patch it with magisk, flash in Odin via AP, boot immediately in recovery, factory reset, and voila, boot up and you are good to go.
