HTC Touch Tethering over Bluetooth (Sprint)

[svx]

Thanks for the link and your help. Too bad I have XP

I also noted in the thread that 3.x roms no longer have DUN (which seemed to be what I already found) and only Bluetooth PAN. I spent about 30 min at Sprint this evening trying to get info on how to set this up and they did not know either. Hell, I would be happy if someone could tell me how to get bluetooth PAN to work.

I did find the following link which I will test shortly:

If this does not work, then I may just exchange for an Instinct, Palm 800W; or, go back to my EVDO REV A card and just add a cheap phone. I just need to be able to have my lappy access the internet without wiring up on the road or in meetings. The card is honestly the best performing, but requires me to have 2 contracts vs just 1 with a phone + PAM plan.

Thanks for that link above!! I was trying to get bluetooth tethering to work on my Verizon XV6900 and couldn't get it to work. If I went to my phone in my bluetooth devices on my laptop dial up network was not an available service. I installed the DUN cab file (which I'll attach to this message) on the XV6900, ran it, then reset the phone, erased my phone from my bluetooth devices on the laptop and readded it - and wala dial up networking was now an available service. Then I just added a dial up connection through bluetooth and was up and running.

I had no problem tethering over BT with a mini-usb BT module I bought from Frys and the latest Rev A rom. Connected right away with no tweaks or hacks. USB cable also works with no problem. Not sure why people are having problems.

Thanks for the info Steve. I tried some of the steps last night but still could not see DUN. I have since uninstalled and reinstalled the BT stack on my Thinkpad T61p and am in the process of updating OMJ's rom to the latest. Once completed, I will test with the cab posted above.

Do you know exactly what this cab file does?

I actually had the option of BT DUN before I installed this cab, and after installing that it no longer shows up, even after uninstalling it.

I installed it and it did not show up for me. Not quite sure either.

Did you reset your phone (with the reset button next to the usb port)? and did you remove your phone from your bluetooth devices list on your laptop and then pair it again? In my case there was no dial up networking listed on my laptop under my phone device in bluetooth devices. After taking the above steps the dial up networking service appeared. Keep in mind I'm on a Verizon XV6900

Ohhhh, so it shows under your lappy's BT services for the device. I thought it was on the phone. Thanks, I will pair shortly, just tweaking after the rom update.

I have the bluetooth modem part working. Can you please explain what I need to do to create the dial up connection so my laptop will use it?

In Vista you just go to Start->Connect To, then click on the "setup a connection or network" link near the bottom of that window. Then click on the dial up connection option and it should be pretty self explanatory from there. You'll need to know the number you need to dial and your username and password. If your on Verizon the phone # is "#777", the username is "yourphonenumber@vzw3g.com" and the password is "vzw".
