Re: Nokia N9 wifi hotspot
 

I am not sure about that. Unless that device can sense the correct voltage levels and adjust itself I guess it is not compatible (as it says on the link it is usable with normal PC rs232...)

The protocol on N9 serial bus is rs232 but the physical layer is 2.8V lv-TTL which is not compatible with "old-style" PC serial ports.
I don't recommend hooking up anything before you are sure, or you might damage your device.

Re: Nokia N9 wifi hotspot
 

One thing more I just remembered :D

You need to enable the serial console on kernel of course. There are many ways to do this, on your own kernels you can of course hard-code it, but easier is to give the parameters on command line. What you need is "console=ttyS0,115200n8" added there.

That can be done either by
1.) flasher setting the R&D mode flags ( --enable-rd-mode --set-rd-flags=serial-console) so that NOLO will write the command line to the kernel, or
2.) if you use ubiboot, you can patch the command line similary as patching the Wayland required options on Nemo kernel:
just change the Harmattan init script tag to G_HARMATTAN_INITSCRIPT="\/sbin\/preinit_harmattan\ console\=ttyS0\,115200n8"

Still doing analysis. I am only attempting to backport one patch at a time and flash and test. I don't want to introduce too many changes at once without testing each one separately.

(1)
This is so annoying, so far I've not been able to get this wifi hotspot app to work on OS X 10.8 OR Windows 7.
What's more infuriating, is that Windows 7 won't remember the WEP key, so testing different settings in the app is a painful exercise.
I guess the idea once/if I get it going, is that any subsequent machines will connect to the N9 via the 1st machine that's connected to it?

(2)
Bluetooth tethering works on OS X, but so far I've not been able to get it working on Windows 7. :mad:
Anyone know if the BT tethering will allow 2-3 BT clients at once? (I'll try that on a 2nd Mac later).
I know BT's bandwidth is very limited, but I'm only talking about light users who usually aren't bandwidth intense, & usually there'd only be one user.

(3)
I've now tested USB tethering via Nokia Suite on Windows 7 & it works fine, I don't think the same is possible on OS X via Nokia Link?
There's a more nerdy way to do USB tethering for OS X & possibly Windows 7/8, but this is for someone who's not the least bit technically inclined.

(4)
I haven't yet had a chance to test any of these tethering approaches in Windows 8. :rolleyes:
If anyone knows that some or all of them work, & can provide pointers, please do so.

Thank-you.

Re: Nokia N9 wifi hotspot
 

These are great http://www.ebay.ie/itm/1x-Auto-Conve...-/151129196322

I've used them with N900, N9, N950 and on Jolla devices :-)

Re: Nokia N9 wifi hotspot
 

I'd say you cannot go wrong with these :D
With price of £0.99 they are even cheaper than the adapters I've been using!

Re: Nokia N9 wifi hotspot
 

I wonder if someone from this thread could help me:

I can't start the Wi-fi Hotspot on N9. When I try to start the program it just states that

(translated from Finnish error message)
Network sharing can't be started, system could not find suitable internet connection

I even tried installing ad-hac but it makes no difference.

Any help would be greatly apreciated.

Re: Nokia N9 wifi hotspot
 

I had a very similar error a couple of days ago... did you try rebooting your phone? That fixed the problem for me.

Re: Nokia N9 wifi hotspot
 

I tried rebooting a couple of times, does not help.

Thanks for the suggestion.
