Good point... I pulled the Cradlepoint 350 up on line and it was AC only...

I also like the suggestion about "HOT SPOT" app on the BB... Haven't checked that as of yet....

If we can get this through software, that would be so much better...

He uses a Sprint program on the laptop to connect so we know it has the

capabilities to work as a modem and he has internet access.

I'm wondering how the iPad folks use their phones to connect to the internet.

I know most have the WIFI only models and they tether through their phones.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Bad@ssGtab:
He just ordered the 300.....

They are running a holiday special of $99 dollars and that includes a free second backup battery....

Regular price was over 200 with shipping.... Cost him 109 with shipping...

He figures he can use the hot spot for other users also. It supports up to 16 users at once.

His Sprint card was listed as a option so this is even a better solution.

Huge thanks for pointing us in the right direction.

??? I have PDANet on my Black Berry and PDANet on my GTab. On the BB, I selected Enabled Bluetooth DUN. The same thing for the GTab. Doesn't do anything.

I suspect both are listening for something to connect to them. Not sure how this is supposed to work.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] seadooxp30:
I'm using it with wifi via my iphone...
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gksmith:
Ah, that must be the key. You can't do it via bluetooth. You have to have a wifi connection to your phone.

The original posting asked how to do this via bluetooth.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] basalt51:
PDAnet via usb requires a client on the client computer. I contacted PDAnet if they would create an android client for tablets and their answer, atleast for now, is we are SOL. Use BT DUN. But like the OP I cannot get my G tab to connect, only pair with my droid x or Aria. I don't know what is supposed to happen after turning on the BT DUN in PDAnet. Should the G tablet then be able to connect? Does some other software need to be run on the gtab to allow DUN connection?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] mobilemodding.info:
That is because there is no PDANet client, you have to have PDANet client on Gtab!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] copc:
I have a Sprint Hero Rooted running Froyo and just use wifi tether to create a hotspot and the Gtab finds it fine every time.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] necromonger89:
Have you guys tried Barnacle tether? Its on Android. I was using it with my G1 to hook up my G Tablet to the internet. You need root access though.

I currently have Clear Spot hotspot. It's 4G unlimited for $50 a month with no bandwidth caps. Works great, already have over 10GB downloaded within this month with 6 more GB that I just finished downloading today. I still have internet connection! Works great, get on average 4mbps download at school and work with some instances of 6mbs download when I have max connection.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] treenuts:
Could you describe this in more detail? Which version of ios do you run, and which app sets up the wifi hotspot? Thanks!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jmeridith:
I had the Verizon hotspot app on my palm pre and it worked great on the grab. But now since I have an evolution shift I have to either pay for tether or wait until someone figures it out
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] lordgodgeneral:
I've been talking to the guys at pdanet, and they state that they have no plans on doing a client program for android. Instead they say if the device supports bluetooth or usb dun, that it will work. So it may be for people that want to try and tether through blackberry's or other devices, you need to try talking to some of the guys doing custom kernals, and see if its possible and what it would take.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Bad@ssGtab:
+1 Bump...
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] anjenaire:
From http://source.android.com/porting/bluetooth.html:

"Tethering - DUN and PAN Support

Cupcake [Android 1.5 release] features some early work—Bluez has has DUN and PAN daemons which get compiled and external/bluez/utils/dun/Android.mk external/bluez/utils/pan/Android.mk BNEP support is compiled into the kernel with cupcake.

While not officially supported, you should be able to run dund or pand daemons and, using pppd or iptables, test tethering support. Next steps include plubming the DBUS APIs to these daemons up into the Android Java framework and adding code to setup the network paths via pppd and / or iptables."

So the code fragments are there, need to access them to connect to the bb via bt. Further investigation is warranted.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] mobilemodding.info:
+1! have great interest in this feature!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] smalis:
I have a Palm Centro and would love to tether my G-Tab to its internet, by bluetooth. I can do it with my Windows laptop, but not yet with the G-Tab.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] smalis:
To elaborate on my Palm Centro tethering, my Windows laptops allow me to create a Dial Up connection, type: "Standard Modem over BT link". Then, it asks me for the AT&T phone number, user name and password. Once the connection has been created, the computer tethers to the phone when I fire up Firefox, so long as the BT in my phone is on.

Does that mean that what is needed for the G-Tab is software for Android that would create a "Standard Modem over BT link" DUN connection? Does anything like this exist?

Thanks!

Archos Tablets

Well I think that the Archos tablets have this option under settings so I believe it is possible but so far it hasn't hit the developers' radar screens. And with RIM coming out with their own tablet DUN to BB won't be high on many tablet maker's priority list either. It would be sweet.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rgp24:
Alright, good so I am not the only one that can't get this to work. My current issue is that at work I can not use my phone as a wifi hotspot. So wifi tether is out of the question at work...

So I am very interested in either one of these:

Bluetooth Tether

USB Tether

I can't get either of them to work. Obviously for USB you need a client, im surprised they haven't come out with one yet for the Android. Bluetooth is close, I can pair but not connect. Seem to be having the same limitations as everyone else here.

I am hoping someone can come up with a solution for this and get either one of those working so that we can all enjoy the tablets even when wifi is restricted!

Thanks

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] smalis:
A USB client would be ok, but BT would be ideal.

I may have to give in and get a WiFi hotspot.

Fyi...new blackberries coming out this year will have wifi hotspots.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] cbinks:
new BB? i am wanting to transition to an android phone anyways :-) but in meantime i would like to be able to tether via BT to my BB
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] mobilemodding.info:
I will be so happy to tether with Blackberry since my company pays for phone and data plan :) I bet thousands of others are in same situation having corp sponsored devices! :)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] mobilemodding.info:
Any news on this front?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] lordgodgeneral:
I have a feeling its going to take a custom kernal or something added to a rom. Honeycomb (when we get it) has built in bluetooth tethering support, but its been tested and doesn't work with PDAnet, they only bluetooth tethering that does work has been using the bluetooth part of the wireless tether app. I don't know what that apps doing different in the IP routing, so it won't be a fix, but will give another option.

Edit: Was just poking around over in general and found a thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1001496

I managed to get this working on my GTab using CyanogenMod 7.1, but my guess is it would work on any ROM.

I posted a howto in the GTab forum on the CyanogenMod forums here: forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/37078-how-to-tether-your-gtab-to-your-blackberry-phone-via-bluetooth/

---------- Post added at 01:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 PM ----------

I was finally able to get this working with my Blackberry and GTab running CyanogenMod 7.1. It should work on any tablet running Android 2.3.7 though.

Howto is located in the GTab forum of the CyanogenMod forums here: forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/37078-how-to-tether-your-gtab-to-your-blackberry-phone-via-bluetooth/

Hope this helps!

I am currently running sombionix's Stock 2.2 ROM. I am interested in exploring a couple different ROMs, but don't want to go through the work of reinstalling all my apps, settings, data, etc when I find one I like.

What's the best way to back all that stuff up, so I can reinstall it easily over a new ROM?

Do a Nandroid backup. Go into Rom Manager and select Backup Current ROM.

Unfortunately, on top of all that you probably need to backup (or download identical to yours) kernel version. Nandroid/cwm doesn't back it up, which can be a pain (which is you'll have to have a pc with odin).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deepsix_69:
I have a desire (cdma) i have tried using unrevoked and unrevoked forever to obtain s-off. I have tried on 2 different phones. Both times, after making no other changes, I lose the abilitity to send mms. I can run unrevoked, and mms will work. I run the update to get s-off and it no longer works. Is there something I am doing wrong, is there any troubleshooting I could do?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrJustAGuy:
I know this issue is a month old, but we may have solved it last night on the unrevoked IRC channel.

I had the same problem, and it turned out it was because unrevoked overwrote my phone's carrier ID and it was using the MMS protocol settings for another company.

The guide here will tell you how to edit your BCID, but it doesn't say how to find the right one if you're already having the problem. http://home.kennynet.co.uk/~kenny/bcid-fix.txt

unrevoked had changed mine to UTSI_005 when it was meant to be UTSI_019. I happened to know my correct one from my previous phone, and some versions of stock CDMA ROMs have a list buried somewhere in them.

If anyone is still having this problem, which is only likely to happen with people on carriers with outsourced MMS gateways like Interop, I'll see if I can get the list.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deepsix_69:
Im still having the problem. I am on a small regional carrier --Inland Cellular. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I had basically given up on trying to fix it. They are supposed to release a RUU for froyo here soon, and I was hoping that would fix the issue, then I could put cyanogen back on.

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrJustAGuy:
The RUU may not update the /misc partition which is where the problem is. Assuming there's not another carrier named Inland Cellular and your carrier's website is inland3g.com, then they do use Interop and your problem is probably the same as mine was. According to the "telephony.db" file from the generic CDMA 2.1 RUU for the HTC Hero, your CID is UTSI_016. This is a carrier ID assigned by UTStarcom for CDMA interoperability and shouldn't change between handset models. To fix this:

Follow the instructions I linked above.

When you do the "getprop ro.cid" make sure it's something other than "UTSI_016" to confirm this is the most likely culprit.

When you get to the hex editing step, also make sure the first 8 bytes aren't "UTSI_016".

If it is the same problem, your "getprop ro.cid" and first 8 bytes of misc.img will probably be "UTSI_005".

Correct the string to "UTSI_016" and follow the directions to flash the corrected misc.img back.

You do need to already have the right MMS server address and port settings for your carrier programmed. If you've been wrestling with this for a while, I figure you've already verified those.

We just stumbled on this last night and as far as I know I'm the only test case so far, so I can't take responsibility if you brick your phone. I'd suggest joining #unrevokedtest on irc.freenode.net for more assistance.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deepsix_69:
Yep thats the right carrier. I have all the apn info, so that part shouldnt be a problem.

I do have one request if you are able to and its not too hard.

I have had problems with adb on my computer, so I have done everything through terminal on the phone and manaully moving/editing files through the root explorer.

Any chance you can modify your directions to use those methods.

If not, I guess its a good time to figure out adb a little better.

Thanks again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrJustAGuy:
Sorry, I didn't write them. Someone else wrote them to fix a different problem and they just happened to work for this. But I think ADB will be pretty much mandatory for the dumping and flashing parts. They have to be done in some kind of command shell.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deepsix_69:
alright i got adb all setup and working. But I am having problems right from the getgo.

I type the first command ($ /system/__unrevoked_su) and it returns and error. I tried reloading a stock rom, rerunning unrevoked and rooting it to see if a file gets created when unrevoked is ran, but I still get an error. It returns a /system/__unrevoked_su not found.

update: i did some playing around was able to verify utsi_005 so it looks like I have the same problem. But I cant complete moving/editing any of the files becuase they dont exist for some reason.

Any ideas.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deepsix_69:
OKAY, I got it to work, I had to modify your directions to get it to work for some reason, just in case someone else is having problems.

What I did was install a hexeditor on my phone. Open up sdcard/misc.img edited it for the correct UTSI_016 then saved as /sdcard/new-misc.img then entered adb

$ su

# /data/local/flash_image misc /sdcard/new-misc.img

# exit

reran unrevoked and it worked just fine.

On a side note, I suspect I could have followed your directions directly had I used a $ su instead of $ /system/__unrevoked_su but by the time i figured it out, i was already pretty close to doing it without using adb at all.

Thanks again for the help, I would have never got that figured out without your info. Now time to restore my cyanogen mod 7 and restore some apn info.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrJustAGuy:
If you re-ran unrevoked after flashing the new misc.img, it may have put it back to the wrong info.

Let me know how this went, I'm quite interested in whether this is going to be a common problem for CDMA Desire users.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deepsix_69:
Well by re ran, i quess I meant I ran it once. I was rooted which broke the MMS, I updated the img file and ran unrevoked in order to fix the mms.

It worked excellent though, I would assume its a wide spread problem for certain carriers. I know it happened to 2 different phone for the carrier I am on.

I flashed cyanogen again, and its being a little difficult getting mms to work, but thats a different issue, and I am sure i will be able to get the right solution after playing/searching/reading.

Thanks again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deepsix_69:
well, this isnt going so great. I can get mms to work on the stock rom/rooted now (I couldnt before) I tried installing cyanogen back on, and am having no luck.

Any chance you got some pointers on that?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrJustAGuy:
This is actually good news.

If it works on rooted stock when before it would only work on stock before rooting and not after, it means that now you just have the same problems as everyone else with Cyanogen, not a problem specific to the rooting method or the phone's carrier. :p

I haven't tried a non-stock ROM on mine since I squashed this bug. I have a few guesses as to how to fix it, but I need to test them first.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akdale:
I have a CDMA Desire on the GCI Network in Alaska, rooted with unrevoked with s-off.

Right now the desire is running on USCC Rom.

Everything is working with the exception of MMS.

When I send an MMS, the number 970-111-1111 is attached to the message as my reply to number.

This is not my phone number.

When the message is replied to, an error is returned to the sender, 'Does not subscribe.'.

I suspect that the problem being addressed in this thread is similar.

I have searched for the misc.img file to edit and cannot find it on my phone.

If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it.

I do not know where to find the correct CID, nor what to do with it when I do find it.

Thanks for any and all input....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipfreelytech:
your doing it wrong.

this line: cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img pipes the contents of /mtd0 into misc.img, thus creating the file you were looking for.

the command getprop ro.cid should return the cid value your devices is presently using. when I tried i did not receive a value, instead it echoed the command back to me. if your suspecting your cid has been mangled then this will of course return the incorrect value. for getting the correct value try an s-on gci phone.

you ever tried looking at your logcat when you send mms?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akdale:
I managed to get adb working and talking to the desire.

When I type in 'adb shell',

I do not get the $ prompt, but a prompt that says 'sh-3.2#'

I managed to create the misc.img, pull it to my laptop, edit it with a hex editor changing the HTC__005 to the HTC__010 that was on an unrooted gci desire, push it back to my sdcard as new-misc.img.

The following gives an error

'adb shell

$ /system/__unrevoked_su --------------- (No such file or Directory)

# /data/local/flash_image misc /sdcard/new-misc.img'

I checked, there is a /system---I don't see the unrevoked

Any help is appreciated.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akdale:
Well, I managed to get the file changed, and it shows up in logcat when I send a mms.

This did not cure the 111-1111 phone number problem. In fact, I did not notice any difference at all except for the CID being different in logcat.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decdru:
I have the same problems with my small local carrier. Also I dont have another phone to pull the info from. Nex-tech is the carrier and if anyone could help me get this info so I could change the CID I would appreciate it.

Update:

I spoke to the unrevoked team in irc and unrevoked doesn't change anything that would break mms. With that in mind my piss ant cell provider did an update to their system and all of the sudden mms is working like a champ on rooted bravoc running cm7.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodor:
So I was able to follow all of these steps. I was also able to pull, edit, then push the files back to the phone. I am not able to make it work and when I do

getprop ro.cid it only shows "getprop ro.cid" but not UTSI_016. But if I then pull the file again from the phone, it does show UTSI_016 just not when running the command getprop ro.cid.

Suggestions?

[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Taijohnsen:
Hi everyone!

Has anyone found a way (maybe an app?) to change the screen backlight/lock behaviour?

What I'm looking for is the following behaviour:

Ability to have the screen only turn off the backlight after a certain amount of time, with

a) option to lock the device at the same time

b) option to also turn off the part of the screen that reacts to touch at the same time

c) options to set the timers for the aforementioned options separately

Basically I want the device to turn off the screen after 30 seconds to save power, but stay responsive to touch so that I don't need to pick up the device and press the power button before I can use it.

Then, after about 5 minutes, it should lock itself but respond to touch, so that it can be unlocked without needing to press the power button.

Then, after another five minutes, the screen should completely go off and stop responding to touch altogether (the way it is on Android by default).

Has anyone found a way to do this? It would be REALLY useful for when you've got the phone laying flat on your desk and are IM'ing with a slow typer, meaning you've got 2 or 3 minutes between each message, and need to press the power button every time you get one...

It shohuld be a default setting in my opinion...

Thanks in advance!
