[Q] Can't Connect BT Home Hub? - Xperia Play General

Hi guys,
for some reason i only get limited connectivity to network...yet i can connect to any other router, and any other phone can connect to my homehub!
any ideas?
thanks

I got the same issue with my Jabra halo headset
The phone connects to other phones but my bt headset not
I hope with an upcoming patch I can connect it like I did with my x10
my x10's only purpose now is mp3player / video player

Its a thompson product so it maybe need of a firmware update. Usually helps with most home hub or bebox problems.

I've got this problem too - but interestingly only on ICS, not gingerbread. Something to do with the way the Homehub parses the DHCP broadcast, I have problems with my MEPIS linux box which is wired to the network too. Even happens when using a bt homehub as a wireless bridge to a separate DHCP server...
But a firmware upgrade (if you have access to the box) usually sorts it. Usually.

BlueTooth WLAN?

Is there any BlueTooth WLAN?
Something like BlueTooth GPS.
If I have this BlueTooth WLAN, it will be so greeaatt!!!
Best regards,
Arto
I did see such a device but can't remember what it was called. Pocket Bridge or something. Mind you there was also meant to be a bluetooth hard drive haven't seen thouse mentioned for a while either.
There are two ways to connect to a LAN using BT, and only one of them is currently working with the BT implementation on the Magician.
The first, and best, way would be to get yourself a BT access point and connect it to your LAN. Need I say that this is the method that will not work with the Magician?
The second way, which will work on the magician, is to get a bluetooth dongle/card for your pc, create a wireless Activesync connection and use network passthrough.
Here is a device that will bridge bluetooth to wifi but it doesn't look very small:-

This is the first option I wrote about. It will not work with the Magician.
And if it did work with the Magician, why would you worry about the size? It is not something you carry around! It is like a WLAN access point but for bluetooth, you plug it in to your network and then you can connect the bluetooth device within a certain distance.
Need I tell you again, this will NOT, i repeat NOT work with the Magician. At least not with the current BT stack.
That's a shame it wont work. The reason I would want to carry it is because it can act as a bluetooth access point from a Wifi network. This would let you just public wi-fi hotspots without having a wi-fi card poking out of your magician and even have a 2GB SD card in there at the same time.

Use phone as Bluetooth modem

I know this has been asked before, but has anyone yet succeeded in connecting an HTC TD2 or T-Mobile Compact V as a Bluetooth modem to a PC running Windows XP? I can ActiveSync via Bluetooth, but that's all.
Need extra command string in bluetooh modem setting.
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","APN"
APN is your ISP access point name.

I don't follow. Surely the PC needs to see that there is a modem first? Has your PC recognised the bluetooth modem service on the phone?
If your phone is already setup for data access then you don't need any dialing string.
When the PC establishes the BT link it should install the dialup service which will access the phone as a BT modem!

"Should" is the operative word. Dialup service as such is not used on WM devices. They use a Personal Area Network (PAN). Anyway, the point is that no services on the phone can be seen by the PC. If I can overcome this hurdle, the rest is plain sailing (or plain surfing?)

I use Blue Soleil BT software and the services are installed by it and not Win. May be that's the difference. Do you have any BT client software running?

The problem is basically what the WM device is communicating - or not communicating. I have an IBM/Lenovo laptop running XP/SP3 and I cannot find services on the WM device whether I use the Microsoft BT stack or the Lenovo BT stack. I have also tried a separate USB BT dongle with its own drivers without any success. A colleague with Windows 7 (Microsoft BT stack) cannot find services on the WM device either.
Do you see all the services on your phone with the Soleil BT software? I have an old BT dongle that uses BT Soleil.
I think BT on WM devices is a bit shaky. My in-car Parrot hands-free sometimes recognises it as one device and sometimes as another - but surprisingly it works regardless.
Yes, using Internet Connection Sharing [ICS] via Blue Soleil on WXP Prof.
One has to start ICS from the 'phone - it should ask whether to use USB or BT, then (unless your mobile 'phone supplier has forced a fixed choice via a registry entry "ForcedCellConnection") allow you to specify the connection to use (eg Internet) then it will advise to go to PC and click on BT PAN.

Android and BT DUN

Ok so i am picking up my X10 tomorrow and i was really wondering if it comes with or has the ability to use Blue Tooth Dial Up Networking as well as the PAN protocol? can anyone fill me in?
bluetooth prodiles supported are:
a2dp
audio/video remote control
generic access
generic obj. exchange
handsfree
headset
obj. push
no dialup

based on that list it doesn't look like it has any BT modem at all
well in case someone stumbles upon this post in a few months and wondering if there is the answer is no but yes. it does not have it but PDANet can be downloaded from the Market but the BTDUN doesn't work unless your x10 has android 2.0

[Q] Bluetooth DUN from Nook Color to BlackBerry

So, I have been playing with the latest CM 7 build on my Nook Color that has Bluetooth enabled. Are there any applications that can Bluetooth tether a android tablet to a BlackBerry? I've got PDANet on my BlackBerry so it is advertising a bluetooth network conenction, but there isn't anyway I know of to connect to it using Bluetooth DUN. I know Ipas has the iBluever....is there anything similar in android world?
On a side note, bluetooth has been working well for copying contacts, video and pics. I don't have anything else to try pairing with (except my laptop) so limited in what I can test. All in all, can't wait for this to get rolled into the honeycomb build (if that is possible).
Now that I got BT working on my NC with CM7 I am also looking to teather my nc to a nokia E52..
Not sure about bumping etiquette around here, so I hope I'm not stepping on any toes, but I'm also interested in tethering a non-Android/iOS phone to my NC over bluetooth. I have a Sony Ericsson W760, which tethers really easily to any PC with SE's PC Suite application. The devices will connect, allowing the phone to act as a remote for the NC (maybe useful if NC is connected to a stereo for music) and allowing one-way file transfer from phone to NC, but that's it. I'd love to tether 3G, GPS, or even the camera and mic/speakers.
I would think it wasn't possible because of BlackBerry limitations (I'm a pretty hardcore BB geek) but as the OP points out, iBluever does it for ipod.
Maybe a dev here would be able to do something like this?
Just spent about 15 minutes googling it and couldn't find any app that would do it.

I was able to set it up per the instructions, attempting to pair my NookColor to a Sony Ericsson W760 (JAVA powered walkman phone), but attempting to connect caused my NC to freeze twice in a row, requiring a hard reset.

Share phone connection with TF101 via bluetooth

Hi, as the title said, I’d like to know what app are you using to share your phone’s 3G connection with the TF101 using bluetooth.
I tried everything but none works. Pdanet, etc.
And every single app does only wifi theter, not bluetooth.
Simply, i don’t know what to install on my Galaxy S2; I’d buy anything if sure that it’d work.
Does your phone model not support wireless hotspot??
Just saw that it is a galaxy s2, which means it should support wireless hotspot..you should root your galaxy and flash a rom with wireless hotspot hack enabled, no app needed.
First you'll have to root your Galaxy SII, if you're not ready/able to do that you can't really use bluetooth for tethering (I haven't found one that works WITHOUT root)
Thanks guy, buy my galaxy s2 is rooted since the first day I got it, and by the way here where I live the wireless hotspot is not disabled, it works also without root.
I don’t want to make my phone become an Hotspot, because it waste a lot of battery. I’d like to share connection via bluetooth so I can keep it always on without enormous battery drains. Which one do you use, No_u?
Here's the steps I performed to use Bluetooth internet sharing with my Motorola Milestone 2. I learnt that from a friend who paired an Asus Slider with his iPhone, so I'm pretty sure Samsung Galaxy S2 will be able to support Bluetooth internet sharing without root..
One-time set up (configure Bluetooth pairing)
- Turn on Bluetooth on both devices
- On Galaxy S2 (or other smartphone which support Bluetooth internet sharing profile), activate "Discoverable" mode.
- On Asus TF101, (under Bluetooth settings menu ya?), search for the smartphone and select to pair.
Every time when you want to activate internet sharing via Bluetooth
- Turn on Bluetooth on both devices,
- On Asus tF101, under Bluetooth settings -> Paired devices, press on the smartphone to 'connect
Done! Enjoy internet via smartphone Bluetooth.

TF101 support Bluetooth Tether (use phone as modem) with bluetooth PAN profile.
When pair with a phone has bluetooth PAN profile (it has 1 more icon in device list, just like A2DP profile has a headphone icon), just click on it to connect.
Many phone have bluetooth DUN profile (Dial-up Networking) but just a few have bluetooth PAN profile (personal area networks). I bought a SonyEricsson Cedar J108i for this function
You have to search in user manual, phone wiki page, ... to know what Bluetooth profile is supported.
