Re: Sprint's Treo Pro Tethering/Use as modem

can anyone give me a pointer? im ripping my hair out on this because i had it working then i redid my phones and i dont remember what i did.

ok, so on my palm treo pro, im using raiderom. whatever. im trying to get ICS working over bluetooth. before when i had this setup, i would just enable ICS on the phone, then go to my laptop and right click on the phone icon in bluetooth settings. from the dropdown, i selected "direct connect" and bam, it worked great.

however, now when i try to enable ics on the phone, the "connect" button is greyed out, and if i go to the computer side i see that "direct connect" is replaced with "access point"

so what the heck did i do wrong? i did install the ICSenable.cab file, rebooted the phone, and installed it again. i enabled an incoming com port on the pc, then i established a bluetooth connection on the phone. it connects great, but ics on the phone is still greyed out and the pc still shows "access point" instead of "direct connection"

best i can think of is when it paired via bluetooth, it didnt install something right. the services i see are "activesync bluetooth" and "DUN". i know the serial usb com port is installed too, but its not in the services list on the phone or the pc.

also, DUN over bluetooth works fine. i just dont like using it. the direct connect with ics worked faster. by the way, the usb port on this phone is ripped completely out, so usb connection is not possible anymore.
