Bluetooth in ICS

[Gulanowski]

Can someone give me straight up info and answers to why there's nothing concrete regarding using Bluetooth in Internet Connection Sharing on a Verizon Touch Pro2? I've searched all over and while there's similar relating info, nothing directly resolving bringing bluetooth back into ICS.

[Gulanowski]

any news at all?

Widcomm stack doesn't support the PAN profile and probably doesn't interface with ICS period.

There is a trick I found here:

However, it's for Sprint's version of the phone so it's not applicable to me. I am DYING to figure out how to tether over Bluetooth with my HTC Touch Pro2 on Verizon. It doesn't even work with PDANet.

My old Blackberry just showed up as a network connection when I paired it and I'd connect like that. Damn do I miss it.

Use the Modem Link application on the stock ROM. You'll have to change your default MIP profile so that the DUN NAI is MDN@vzw3g.com (not mdn@dun.vzw3g.com) after every time you dial *228, but it works. Then pair (BT DUN should already be available) and setup a DUN connection in Windows control panel. #777 is the number to be dialed and the username and password are your MDN and vzw.

Thank you, but I'm at a standstill because BT DUN is not an option anywhere on my phone

Are you running the stock ROM? If so, open the Modem link application and select Bluetooth and select your PC using the "Menu' soft button on the lower right

I am not on the stock ROM, I am using MightyROM. Following the link for the Sprint version of the phone got me the closest to having Dial Up Networking showing up in Bluetooth Services but it would only show up for a split second while trying to dial.

I've tried Modem Link. It connects alright, but you're brought immediately to a page to subscribe to Verizon's tethering program. I want to SHARE the connection, not DIAL UP to one. This was so simple on my Titan it's not even funny.

So there is no .cab out there that provides a work around on a stock rom to have bluetooth capability in ICS? Well, is there a rom available that provides for bluetooth in ICS?

No, there is no .cab available. Either the MS Bluetooth Stack will have to be cooked into a ROM, or the PAN profile will have to be cooked into the Widcomm stack and made to interface with the ICS app. It was simple on the Titan because the Titan used the MS stack, which is superior when it comes to compatibility and useability IMO.

As far as the Modem Link thing, try the MIP profile fix I posted above. That will get rid of the page asking you to subscribe to the tethering program.
