Phones that work as Modem Poll
 

I'm trying to consolidate knowledge of what Bluetooth phones have been demonstrated to work as a modem when paired with a 770/N800.

Please post your successful experience on this thread.

Please include your:

Service Provider (T-Mobile, Cingular, Sprint, etc)
Phone brand and model
works on 770 or 800 or both
Phone plan (whether it be Voice, Data, Internet....please be specific)

It would be nice if you could also post the specific configuration you have set up on your Nokia 770/N800 connection manager.

Thanks,
Neil

Service Provider: O2 UK
Phone brand and model: Sony Ericsson W950i
Works on 770: Yes but needs updated sdp-query app (see bug #865 for details and download) due to flaws in the Symbian BT stack - not included in 3.2006.49-2 firmware
Works on N800: Yes, works fine out of the box (2.2006.51-6 f/w)
Phone plan: Voice/Data GSM/GPRS

Config - standard wizard configuration, no special tweaks.

Re: Phones that work as Modem Poll
 

Yet another attempt to use the forum for something which forums really aren't good for, and reproduce something which already exists:

http://maemo.org/maemowiki/BluetoothDUN

How about putting this otherwise laudable effort into that already larger and more comprehensive database?

Re: Phones that work as Modem Poll
 

Agreed, although the Wiki now needs a N800 specific page, and possibly sections for different network providers too as certain network providers seem intent on crippling perfectly good phones for no apparent reason.

Works well as modem.
One problem: Transfering files between phone and tablet no longer works (via File Manager) - error "Connection not supported by Phone". This used to work, but stopped working after applying update on phone or tablet (not sure which one caused the problem, I updated both phone and tablet. I think it it stopped working after I installed OS2006 but I can't be sure)

Re: Phones that work as Modem Poll
 

Tablet: n800
Phone: Treo 650, Unlocked GSM (unbranded)

Works like a charm! I just can't receive calls while I am connected. My next phone will need to do BT DUN and have the ability to talk calls while using the data feature.

I have been unable to connect my N800 via my Samsung I320 smartphone (Vodafone UK). Has anyone succeeded with this phone?

Re: Phones that work as Modem Poll
 

Tablet: N800
Phone: Samsung A900m (also branded as A900+, SPH-A900M); CDMA
Service provider: Sprint
Data plan: Power Vision (a.k.a EV-DO) access--unlimited phone browsing
Connection: Bluetooth dial-up networking

Notes:
I disabled NAI to make it more difficult for my service provider to tell if I'm "tethering" to my N800 or laptop. You can look up how to do this on sprintusers.com, but you'll need your MSL/unlock code. If your tablet doesn't already have the settings for Sprint, you should tell it to dial #777 and use your vision username / password.
I pull about 300kbps on average.

Re: Phones that work as Modem Poll
 

Tablet: N800
Phone: Treo 700p
Service Provider: Verizon Wireless
Data Plan: Unlimited data service with DUN turned on.

Notes:
Works really well I have yet ot have a problem with it. I'm just up-set that Verizon Wireless charges extra for DUN via Bluetooth.

Re: Phones that work as Modem Poll
 

madman,

how did you get the LG8300 to connect? I tried for months and was unsuccessful and nobody else on this board seemed to have any success. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Re: Phones that work as Modem Poll
 

Papi,

sent you a PM as I don;t know if it's legal to post the directions here. it might require you to do some hacking on the phone and do something that violates Verizon;s Terms of Service.

Re: Phones that work as Modem Poll
 

bump-anybody else on Verizon who has had issues connecting via EVDO?

the 2 guys who asked me for help, did it work?
