Bluetooth Multitasking for GPS and Internet Sharing? - General Accessories

After searching for Bluetooth multitasking via Search function, it doesnt come up with any result, and also all I could read about Bluetooth is Earphone and Internet sharing settings.
I am concerning whether my HTC herms (8525) could bluetooth connect GPS and Laptop for internet sharing simultaneously.
I tried connect to Laptop and BT earphone at the same time, but while I tried to call and do the internet together, it didnt work. However, I was on GSM at the time I tested it(bad signal at home, no 3G available in apt.), so not accessing the internet and call signal should be reasonable.
Since I am not sure if they could be used together or not, I want to ask if anyone here knows the answer.
Thanks in Advance.

How to make a 3G dial up via BT?

This may have been asked already.
Ive been playing with my M2000 for a bit now and i cant seem to find a way i can make a BT modem conection through my Nokia 6630 (3G)
All i had to do on my M1000 was just create new dial up *99#
I want me 3G conection back!
grrr
I don't think Blue Angel doesn't has the right bt profile for that to work.
I seem to remember that it would need 'Dial up networking client' profile, but it only has 'Dial up Networking Server'.
Himalaya and Alpine has both.
JD
this is a problem with our bt stack, that not support BT dial up modem
regards
are there any workarounds, hacks, flashes, or programs that will allow this?
The Blue Angle buletooth have some bugs. I tried to swap another BT Engine/patch but it will disconnect in a large volume of traffic. You can find another BT Engine/Patch in the forum to test.

can you see if your pda2k's wlan adapter has an IP address? if not, then only radio is connected but that doesn't mean you have a working network connection.
I use vxUtil which is a collection of network tools, this enables me to ping, check settings, ip addresses and a whole lot of other stuff since the onboard utils just don't cut it for network use..
argh
I have the same problem although I havent upgraded any radio settings! My Wifi has worked fine since ive had my m2000, being able to stream video and music or surf the web. but recently i cant surf the web although I can still stream music.
Ive downloaded the program you reccomended, but not to sure what to do with it. Any help would be ideal
Thanks
hi
thanks guys.. i dont know what happened but everything is eorking now ..including the net.. just turned wifi on.. it asked me again whether this is for work or internet (evn htough i had it connected to internet last time aswell)
thanks

How to use the 8525 as a modem through Bluetooth PAN?

Hello,
I did a search and didnt find much, I also checked on Wiki and they explain how to use it as a modem via bluetooth dial up networking. I would like to use the bluetooth PAN feature in Internet Sharing but cant get it to work.
Firstly, I got the bluetooth dongle connected with the Bluetooth PAN. It tells me that they are connected and communicating with each other, the bluetooth software (bluesoleil) even provides me with an ip address, however when I try browsing on my laptop I get the message page cannot be displayed...
Can anyone please shed some light as to why it does not work?
Thanks a lot!
EDIT:
Seems like when the connection is established it gives the windows bluetooth adapter a weird ip address
like: 169.254.6.198
but I checked in network adapters of the 8525 everything is set for ip addresses to be assigned automatically .. strange..
in windows xp its also set to assign the ip address automatically :S
im not sure what else to do..
Launch Internet Sharing on your Hermes & set the PC connection to bleutooth PAN. Now, make sure the Network Connection is set to your correct data connectiion and press connect. It should say "Waiting for connection" Next, connect your PC & Internet Sharing should show "Connected". If you still can't surf then its a bluetooth driver issue on your PC. The built in M$ bluetooth stack (XP SP2 & >)works correctly with bluetooth PAN for sure. YMMV on others. The latest Toshiba BT stack definitely works too (based on pesonal experience).

::: About Wifi :::

BT - WIFI interfirence
Try this on your Excalibur:
Establish connection with BT headset
Dial voice number
Activate WIFI at the same time
Did you hear any crackling and noise in your BT headset?
i'll try this a bit later when i get the chance, but isn't it common to have some interference if data is transmitting for both since they're both operating on 2.4ghz? also, what headset are you using? bt 1.2 should be better than 1.1

Well, I don't have this problem with TyTn.
I've tried Nokia BH 900 and Jabra JX10 - both 2.0
I'm glad i saw this thread. I'm having the same issue. I cannot stream music to my motorola ht820 bluetooth stereo headset if i use wifi. It just keeps stopping and freaks out on me. I was having issues streaming videos to my dash via wifi and using the headset also. I could not stream 100kbps videos over wifi! I thought the phone just wasn't powerful enough. (although it's not.. I could stream 300kbps videos on my old hp 3615 via wifi fine.)
I just was able to stream a video at 300kbps fine without bluetooth turned on using wifi and it worked fine. Grr!!
BT and wifi both use the same frequency.
I think you shoud try an other channel for the wifi. It may solve your problem.
Wifi how do you set IPs/DNS info?
did i over look something i can't figure out how to set IP, DNS and Subnet for my phone. I've gone to every connection screen did i over look something?
Internet via WiFi - Wireless Access Points Only
I am not subscribing to the data service on my cellular net. I only want to be able to access the net and email when I am in range of my WAP at home/work or at my favorite hot spots. I've got the WiFi settings so that I am connecting to my WAP and can see the SSID when it connects.. I've tried adjusting the settings in the IE options and am at the point where once in a while (1 out of 8 or so ) I can open access one page of a web site.. but can not navigate any further. If I type a different URL in it says locating and loading then times out.... what did I miss???
T-Mobile Dash / Re-ROM-ed to Excaliber.
All other functions seem to be OK.
Thanks, XmP
I've seen this as well. Playing around earlier today, I installed Opera Mini. Opera works fine over wifi or edge. I believe that the issue involves one or more IE bugs involving either the size (fragmentation?) of cache and/or scripts.
Also, Opera Mini isn't a solution (yet) either. It works great once installed and launched from the installer - but has to be uninstaller and reinstalled to work after you exit.
I can't wait for a linux port
I run into this problem all the time at my college and at my home. I turn on my wifi and the phone defaults to the network instead of wifi. I am on cingular with the 8125, I was using I/S PL 1.08 i just updated to cingular rom 2.24.10.1 WWE. I have tried IE, Opera, Mozilla (Minimo) and another i forget the name of. In all I preferred Opera but I feel Mozilla will be the best once the bugs are gone.
Oh yah and when I try and connect to the wifi network at my school they require a redirect to login through bluesocket. That is just too difficult for my little wizard and I rarely get through that system.
External antenna jack on Excaliber/Dash... is it just for GSM? or also WiFi?
Anyone had experience with the external antenna jack on the back of the Dash (under the mirror button)? Just wondering if using this connector would improve performance on WiFi? or is it designed only for GSM reception?
I found a cable which fits the connector perfectly. Thanks for your responses.
Issue solved!
I rebooted my wireless router and everything works great...
Bump!
I'm guessing the absence of answers means that the settings cannot be changed (or may need a reg hack to do so) - I can't find them anywhere either...
so it works for an external wifi as well?
yes, it is possible to change these settings (or at least the IP adress). I have read about it, but can't remeber where. It's possible to chnge it somewhere in the registry, can't be changed directly through settings. If I find it, where I read about it, I will post it here ...
As I remember the external is designed for car holder external antenna, not for WiFi. You may find at most of the GSM mobile back also have this.
This was posted over at howardforums too. What, you didn't search the internet endlessly to find an answer?
Above poster is correct, it's for GSM only. Like I said over at HoFo, unless you're lost in the backwoods, I don't think it's going to help much. Plus, it looks a tad silly!
Thanks for all your responses. Yeah, I posted the question in a couple of forums (the level of expertise varies widely, as you know!).
Reason I asked... we want to be able to access realtime weather conditions while at a remote nature facility on a barrier island here on the West Coast of Florida -- you know, like hurricanes There is a weak WiFi signal from an access point about 1/4 mile away. I simply wanted to establish a stronger link by using an external antenna.
So although it might have looked silly, it was to be a quick fix for instant weather updates (like radar), when needed.
Wifi connection sloooow. For you also?
Hi, with my stock htc s620, establishing a connection to a wifi network that is already saved (home & work), takes around 1 to 2 mins.
What often happens also is that it goes to sleep before even connecting (with me waiting in IE or mail to clic on a favorite or do a send & receive action).
I can't understand this since a nokia n80 will take seconds and it's almost instantaneous on my macbook.
Are there any tricks or software that can accelerate this (unless I'm the only one to have this problem)?
Seems to be a problem of your hardware or a configuration problem. I have energy save mode enabled and usually it takes two or three seconds to connect, sometimes up to ten seconds, if it has extremly low WiFi-Signal.
interesting, I'm going to investigate on the software part first... You really think it could be a hardware issue?
What's sure is that once the connection is established, it's fast and doesn't drop.
BTW, do you mean seconds after the handset is waken up from sleep?
Hum, after looking in my Remove section on my handset, nothing appears, is there some kind of registry cleaner for smartphone?

Internet sharing - keep bluetooth connection alive?

Hi,
with my old device (a XDA rebranded Touch Cruise) the internet sharing had the fine capability of keeping the bluetooth PAN connection alive even when the GPRS/3G connection broke down. It then tried to reestablish the GPRS/3G connection and sooner or later things fixed itself. The internet sharing app on the TP2 seems to disconnect the bluetooth PAN when the GPRS/3G connection goes down, which is quite an annoyance since i have to manually reestablish both connections all the time and this can become quite tiresome on a train ride where connection quality varies greatly within minutes. Does anyone know a registry tweak or something to make the application behave like the old one?
Kind regards,
Kork
