interesting, there must be something I'm not doing. I've done very little with my n9 do far (don't want to have to flash it!) eg no inception and only networking and utilities installed on the developer mode screen. I've just tried app-get install pptp-client as per maemo thread 35961, but it errors couldn't find package (I did devel-su first). I do have n9qt installed (am very impressed by schturman + co) but just minimal things selected (swype bubbles off, traffic/etc in drive, enlarge avatar, video zooming, couldn't get larger emoticons in messages as I don't have inception my nexus is rooted now, and is 4.2.1 jb so I wonder if bluevpn doesn't like that....though it seems ppp widget gets the same problem with my n9, possibly pointing blame towards my n9s setup? I'm sure in years gone by I could create debug logs in Linux for dial up connections to see what I'd got set wrong....is there a way to set debugging up on my n9 to debug the mobile data link to log file to somewhere? (my Linux is very rusty....slackware in the 90's was good fun!!) maybe my uk Orange 3g connection needs me to use specific ap/uid/pwd when being called by a remote device (the nexus 7), I've set ap to orangeinternet to match the n9s settings, on n9 the ap uid/pwd are both blank....maybe I need something when using a remote app? all help/comments very gratefully received! Thanks
