is this even possible? I tried connecting to my friends iphone, it shows a notification on both our phones to accept and whatnot with the passkey, like normal, but it says on his end not connected. Is this even possible to do?

I tried that as well with my wife's Iphone and my E4GT. Don't think the IOS and android want to talk to one another.

Just out of curiosity, what are you trying to accomplish? I tried doing this to a friend's phone after seeing your post and I didn't have any luck but there might be another way of doing what you're trying to do (or I could've just been doing something wrong)...
I am pretty sure i read that iphones can only connect to other iphones via bluetooth of course with the exception of headsets. Stupid apple...
I just googled this and came across this web page. Looks like you can install the BUMP app on both phones and it uses the bluetooth to transfer files between devices. Good luck

trying to play NBA JAM via Bluetooth. Any ideas?

ok, so while best buy was activating my phone (which took a litle shy of 3 hours) , they updated the firmware or the software (whatever it is that was updating at the time). when i had a touch pro 2 i rellied heavily on xda-wifi program to provide internet to my laptop. am i screwed now that best buy updated my phone? how can i get my phone to provide wifi to my laptop? i am in the dark, and even tho i love the evo's speed it still does not compare to a laptop and what it can do. Please help. i feel like if i am in the dark ages without wifi hotspot.
Like the hero when it first came out, wifi tethering in it's classic form doesn't work yet. HOWEVER: Go enable your sprint hotspot app...I believe I heard that haven't locked it down yet so even though you're not paying for the service, it should work in a pinch.
I seen i lot of this going on at best buy while i was waiting in line. They didnt get to mine though.
hmm ill try it, im guessing using the sprint hotspot "free" until they fix it will be uncapped huh?
but now that they updated me, am i going to be able to root? i saw a few post that people were able to get wifitethering after root but it was kinda of tricky.
i, for one dont mind the sprint tv, navigation and other sprint stuff. i actually enjoy using them (i mean im paying for em right?). but i would like a program like xda-wifi (the one i had on my tp2) where all i had to do was run the cab and it installed the program.
is there anything out there now where i can use the wifitethering abilities of the phone while keeping my rom "LIKE" stock with all programs that came out the box?

when i go to sprint hotspot and check the sprint mobile hotspot it gives me "error code 67. Registration failure. your pcs vision username and/or password may be incorrect. please try again"
The (temporary) free hotspot only works on 4G.
ah, that would make sense...seeing as how im in boston and 4g not getting here till 4th quarter 2010...this is insane...what do i do now in order to provide my laptop with internet from my phone? if someone could help me with the root or something. but my phone is updated, can i even do it now?

I don't live in a 4G area. Last night I was able to tether my HERO, my iTouch (I know), my wife's PRE, and my laptop. But today, I get the "error code 67". Darn it!
You can root ur phone after the OTA if you go to http://unrevoked.com/m from your phone browser and download the .apk, then run it... seemed to work pretty good for me at least it appears I'm rooted now (I couldn't get wifi tether to work tho)
On a side note...anyone else use this method or know if this is safe and/or from a trusted source? I usually stick to XDA for mod stuff, I just happened to run across this, this morning someone on Twitter posted it
EDIT: I see the other thread, nvm

the only reason i would root is to get access to get access to wifi tether, otherwise i have no reason to root (im not into removing apps and stuff).
what other threat did you see that had to do with my issue?
the updates started the moment she activated my phone. saw the word 'firmware' and yelled "NO!", reached over her shoulder and hit cancel.
Hope so because my friend was testing my phone and when he gave it back it was doing the update. He told me there was an update available, but he made it seem like it was an update in the market place! Now qik force closes overtime I open it.

I recently bought a JVC-KW-XR810 stereo unit.
My evo was currently shattered, but it had connection problems.
so I tested my girlfriend's Motorola Atrix. she could play media and make phone calls to her hearts content, so I was assured the new Evo I got in the mail would be fine.
not the case..
the audio cuts out after about 10 seconds of making a call or streaming media, but says it is still connected. I delved into the Bluetooth connections, and unchecked "connect phone" but only left "connect audio" on.
when I did this, I could stream music all night with no drop in Bluetooth connection.
when I try to make a call, the audio goes from my car speakers, to the handset in a matter of seconds. extremely frustrating.
I've even updated the firmware on my JVC unit using a thumb drive.
no fix.
I'm on a stock ROM of froyo 2.2
I tried it fresh out of the box, I also tried it rooted (which it is now with the same stock rom)
the only thing I can really imagine is going on is that Asurion sent me a refurbished POS with defective bluetooth connection.
anyone else have this problem?
this is literally the 6th EVO I've owned, so it's kind of funny at this point.
I kinda have the same problem. Mine will connect flawless with a non sense rom,such as 2.3,with warm z it will connect but not download the phone book from my phone. Kinda frustrating.

What am I looking for here?
Wrong section, go post in the questions section.
I posted something similar in the thread for Koni's Elite II thread which is the ROM I am currently using, however, I have had my problem with this ROM and Kings R2 (recent problem since using these 2 roms)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=941055&page=147
I am running into a Bluetooth issue on this rom as well as Kings R2.
Before I have flashed any of these rom's, I wipe everything 2x as well as using the format all 2x. So this is happening after fresh installs.
What happens is, I have a parrot car kit and upon the first time enabeling the bluetooth it attempts to pair up. I enter the pin code and then enable it to access my phonebook and all that like normal. It works fine. But then next time I come to my car and start it, it wont auto connect to the parrot kit (bluetooth is on.) So then I turn Bluetooth on my phone off and back on. But now it act's like it is the first time it is pairing up. It asks me for my pin code again and then asks for permission to access the phone book again. Before, it never did this, so it is not remembering my pin code or the selection of being allowed to access the phone book.
Also, when this happens, alot of times after it asks me for the pin code, I look at the parrot screen and when the phone says it is paired up, the parrot kit says it is disconnected. The option to allow the parrot kit to access the phone book now never populates, so it is sitting in limbo. So I then have to go into the bluetooth settings and I see it say that it is paired but not connected. So I click on it and tell it to connect, and sometimes this method works and allows it to sync, and sometimes it doesn't.
On other ROMS before these 2, (unless it was an ASOP ROM which I haven't used in a while) I never had problems with it connecting, staying connecting, and remembering my initial pin code and option to allow it to access my phone.
Sorry for the long description there, just trying to explain what is going wrong right now.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Any other information I can offer up to help troubleshoot?
BTW, I am using the same kernel I have used throughout all of these sense based roms, Netarchy-toastmod-4.3.2-cfs-nosbc-havs-more
Thank you,

i have the jvc-arsenal 815bt i only have that problem when i have more then one phone paired to my unit. if you havent tried yet,go into the bluetooth settings delete all devices and initialize the bluetooth thumb from settings.then put the unit in pair mode and search/connect again from your phone.when it ask you to download contacts press yes.

I think a rule should be put in place.
If you can't find the Questions section, your obviously not very observant, therefore, your question will not be taken seriously, therefore, don't post questions until you do find it.

Dude since you can find things maybe look at the rules. This is NOT the forum for this type of question. Bump your post. if you need to don't cross post in the dev forum!

Fine, let me tie this in. It seems to be an issue with the HTC ROM's Bluetooth stack. I've heard from tons of users that its the "automatic phone book download" that wrecks everything. You have to do a factory reset. Resync and do the phonebook download immediately & with only 1 google account setup. I recently got a PM that CM7 has its own bluetooth stack that eliminates the issue. If other ROMs are having the same issue maybe devs should look into using their stack.
I recently dropped my Galaxy S3 and everything on it appears to function except for the screen. I have since recieved messages from clients and now can not read them. I need to get in touch with them ASAP however I am unable to view them. I have loaded them onto my PC via a back up with Kies and am given an .SME file which I have no ability to open. Is there anyway to open this file or view my messages?
I also own a HTC Evo that I could potentially load the messages onto, however Kies doe not recognize the phone.
I swear I have been researching this all day with no luck and have tried searching these forums to no avail. If this has been answered in the past and you could please direct me to the post or any help would be immensly appreciated.
Your best bet would to maybe go onto the sprint site / voice app on a pc, set up a google voice number, then direct everything to the google voice number, which could be picked up on the evo via wifi.
So you can see the screen but touch doesn't work? You can just plug in something like a Xbox 360 controller with a otg cable and control you phone that way.

No, the screen is completely black and I don't have a gaming system beyond PS2.

Are u rooted? Its not nessessarily required but would help here. And do you own another Android phone?I can help get them off the phone but not sure how ro read the db files it would spit out. Im also gonna guess no here but was usb debugging on?
I didn't just mean a 360 controller. If you have something like a mhl or micro hdmi you could remotely see you phone on a separate screen. Lots of things can be plugged into the phone.

I also own a HTC Evo that is rooted, the S3 is not. I'm not sure if I had USB debugging turned on. I'm going to guess no.

We have given our young daughters Galaxy S ll’s. Our cell provider is kajeet.com which has decent parental controls on phone usage including Internet access via the cell connection. But kajeet doesn’t affect the wifi connection. Hence, Internet access is available.
We would like to shut down the wifi and have the phones used only for texting and talk. The girls have other forms of (monitored) Internet access.
Does anyone have a solution for shutting down the wifi connection?
I have done quite a bit of research on the web for an answer and haven’t come up with anything that is largely within our control.
Thank you in advance for your help.

First up, what model phone are we talking about (sticker on the phone chassis under the battery) ? Reason I ask is, I noticed Kajeet uses Sprint, which means there's a good chance you're in the wrong forum. As the I9100 wasn't sold in great numbers in the US, various carriers have their own variants, which have their own forums here.
I honestly doubt you can do it (I'm not aware of any way to block access outright), you can probably use one of the myriad security apps on Google Play to block WiFi access to individual apps (I.E all of them). But that might be different for different SGS2 variants (being an I9100 forum, I only know this for the I9100).
If you do have a different variant, we'll have the thread moved & maybe those who have the same phone might be able to tell you something different.
Months ago on cm10.1 i had managed to completely disable wifi by accident on numerous occasions by flashing old versions of dorimanx kernels that update the wifi drivers, then flash stock cm kernel again that uses old drivers, couldn't turn wifi on or off until I reflashed cm, so it is indeed possible. Not sure how you'd go about this. Maybe remove wifi drivers from rom if you are rooted? Sorry I'm not much help, just thought I'd share this.

my opinion, disableing wifi from a young kid will not stop him to access internet from any other place instead it will make him search and found more just because he dont have easy access to information he want. soo this is not the right thing to do but start takling to him and understanding his
needs will do more good. But this is just my opinion it seems thees days there are too many ways to find out things and there is noone who can shut them all off. Cheers!!

You are correct. My phone is a SPH-0710. Can you please port me over to where I am supposed to be?

I'm a Moto Atrix 4G and HD user. I know from development on the 4G, we could disable the wifi by not installing certain packages or flashing a kernel without the required lib/module files. I'm in the middle of fixing a friend's S2/Epic 4G touch and I saw this thread. I would think that something similar would be available here, but i am just starting out with this process of helping my friend out so I'm not sure what files really affect the wifi. I'm sure you could root the device and delete the files that enable wifi access, but I'd have to do some digging for that before i advise any further.
For whatever reason my wifi hotspot stopped working the other day, i thought it was the rom i was using so i tried a different one only thing i can think is to return to stock. i have tried the wifi router app as well and that's not working either. i can connect to the phone via different devices. but i cannot get out to the internet. my device can surf the web just fin though . if anyone has any ideas i'd appreciate it.

Same thing happened to me! I'm running a rooted stock ROM though, so I have no idea.
However, I did notice something odd.
If you use Wifi Tether Router, you can actually access anything Google related just fine. However, if you try to access anything else, it doesn't work. (At least for me)

Nope can't do that because I'm still on the stock recovery, and I'd like to stay that way.
Anyway I've figured out the issue is that I can only access anything through HTTPS. If I don't use HTTPS, then the site won't work. This is something T-mobile is blocking. Is there any way around this?
