HTC Touch Tethering over Bluetooth (Sprint)

Hello everybody!

I've always been able to do whatever I've needed to with my PPC devices - thanks to this board in many respects! I'm having a spot of trouble, though, and I thought I'd actually post to see if anybody has any ideas.

What I'm trying to do is tether my HTC Touch using USBModem to my new laptop (an HP tx2000z running Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit Edition), and I'm not having much luck. First of all, let me say that I can easily tether over USB, but I like to have all my options open, and I'm kind of picky about solving a problem once I face one.

OK, here's what happens ...

I have done all of the registry hack (MultiNAI, rilphone.ddl removal) just in case. My Touch pairs to my laptop fine. I select the "Dial Up Networking" Service during the pairing process, and my laptop even sees the phone as "Standard Modem Over Bluetooth," which is about what I'd expect.

The problem is when I set up a connection and dial. I get the error "678: The remote computer did not respond." I don't know why, but I (perhaps erroneously) assumed that maybe I needed to set up a dedicated COM port for this. My computer has reserved COM5 for this communication, but I can't find a way to make my Touch use COM5 (the COM ports area in Bluetooth Settings seems utterly useless).

Does anybody have any idea how to do this? I'm at my wits end with this one. Oh, incidentally, I CAN connecti using ICS and a Bluetooth PAN, but I want to use USBModem and try to avoid using the canned application. What I'm going for here is Bluetooth DUN.

Any ideas? Help, flames on my intelligence, whatever ... just give me some ideas

MM

I have tired this and have had no luck like yourself. I would like to know how this can be done also.

Re: HTC Touch Tethering over Bluetooth (Sprint)

I just got my Touch last night, so I have not had a change to play around too much with it.
WHen I get home from work tonight, I will use my vast knowledge of computers/networks and I will play around with it.
I will post my results.

Re: HTC Touch Tethering over Bluetooth (Sprint)

why not just use ics for BT tethering? sprint doesnt charge you for tethering on an unlimited data plan unless you abuse it.

Re: HTC Touch Tethering over Bluetooth (Sprint)

Did you ever get an answer on How to do this? I have spent the past 4hrs searching everywhere on how to use my Sprint Touch as a bluetooth modem (xdadev's, here, Google). It works fine with OMJ's latest rom using ICS USB (Touch initiated), but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to bluetooth tether it.

In ICS I have two options, USB and Bluetooth PAN. I assume that if I do a bluetooth tether (ie initiate the connection from my PC), then I will not need to use ICS from the Touch to initiate? My overall goal is to be able to leave the touch in its holster or in my briefcase and be able to connect wirelessly when at client sites (initiated from from lappy). I used to have an ATT Hermes and could do this just fine using a bluetooth dun profile on the pc, unfortunately I cannot seem to do it with the Touch. Needless to say this is quite frustrating!

Re: HTC Touch Tethering over Bluetooth (Sprint)

When I am in places where I have limited space such as client meetings in conference rooms, or using my laptop mount in my car, I would like to be able to do it wirelessly over BT. Speed is not always a factor, but the ability to Sametime or get email through my VPN is. I have a PAM plan so should be able to do it just fine without any special tweaks that the Vision plan user have. Just not been able to figure out how to get it to work.

Re: HTC Touch Tethering over Bluetooth (Sprint)

Oh, i gotcha. Also, i found this thread on another forum. I did not read it in its entirety, and i know its for the 6700, but i assume it would quite similar, if not the same. Or at least get you going in the direction...
