Noone has managed to do it yet, and the BT stack on the wizard doesn't have the profile.
Sorry.

Hi,
As u know all JAM supports GPRS only!
I wonder if I get EDGE or 3G supported phone with BT enabled, Can I surf the INTERNET faster within the JAM by that phone through the BT connection? or maybe BT itself make connection to Interent less fast !
Thank u nin advance
Any one??
Any one??
The problem is, that the Magician uses the MS Bluetooth Stack which, as far as I know, only supports to be used as a modem, not to use a modem of another device. One of the many drawbacks of that stack. Maybe it works with the Bluesoleil stack. Maybe you give that a try.
Concerning the throughput, Bluetooth 1.2 is physically limited to around 700 kbit/s. But that's only in theory. Usually, you can't get much more than 200 or 300 kbit/s. When using the internet over ActiveSync (which is the only possibility to use another device as internet access as far as I know), the connection speed is even slower, maybe 100 to 150 kbit/s.
So try the Bluesoleil stack or ask about this in the corresponding thread.
I already tried it wiht a Nokia 6630.
It works very well, after you downgrade the callerid program that caused the gprs problems.
Really? But how can you configure the modem settings? I mean, where do I setup the password, number to dial, TCP/IP settings etc.?
Pair the cellphone with PPC (and when it asks for a com profile, answer NO... You need not to have COM5 active to have cellphone works). Then make a new connection through bluetooth so it asks you which BT device to use... Then use *99# as phone number (with Wind ITA you don't need any user/password). It works for GPRS and also 3G GPRS, don't know how to do for EDGE...
I know that it's possible to use the Wizard as a bluetooth modem, using your gprs as the active signal.
Since the Wizard supports WiFi aswell, isn't it possible to use the Wizard to connect to a WiFi network and then sharing that connection over bluetooth.
The reason behind this is that I recently moved and we're sharing a wifi connection in this house. But my signal is very weak in my room, but the kitchen next to my room has a signal strenght of over 70%.
I know that buying a better router of signal enhancer would do the trick, but we're poor students
Theory says yes, but I have asked this same question without much luck or a definitive answer.
I have been trying to do the same with a laptop, bluetooth and my lan connection.
Apparently, you need to configure the outgoing bluetooth device, in this case the PDA, to act as a proxy server.
When I linked my laptop to my desktop over bluetooth, it creates a PAN (Personal Area Network). Its IP was set at 169.254.x.x
A LAN networks at IP's of 192.168.x.x and XP wouldn't let be bridge the two together. (Because of the IP differences.)
It would be the same scenario for the PDA.
I am relaying what I have basically learnt but have no idea of which way to take it now so if you have any luck, please let me know.
Hope somebody can help with a strange problem I have.
I have an i-Mate PDA2K although it is a phone I prefer to use my K750i as it's better.
I need to use the PDA with GPRS for traffic updates (Tomtom) from my K750i
All the settings (orange uk) gave me allow the connection to work but only if I use the IRDA connection.
Although the PDA is paired to the K750i if I select Bluetooth modem as the connection it does not even try to talk to the K750i, i.e does not wake the phone. (Bluetooth is enabled and K750i set as visible, allways allow set for the PDA connection)
I gave IRDA a go and it works fine but IRDA in the car is not a good solution.
Any help much appreciated.

Also, make sure the Tomtom is DIALING not trying to GPRS sharing request... DIAL with the Tomtom using the K750i as a "modem" and use the number most often *99#, I personally used a little longer one like *99###1## to get mine, but I'm US and I'm not sure if it's just my phone or the service, whatever. Play around with using "Dialup via Bluetooth" for your connection and see if you can't get your connection working that way. For the K750i (I have one myself), I know for a fact GPRS linking does not work without this number, either in a script autodialing it, like the scripts provided on that website, or by manual dial. So have fun.
Thanks for the reply does not work for me I am affraid
I use *99***1# and in the advanced extra dial string z; +cgdcont=1,"IP","orangeinternet"
Tried using as yours nothing either
If I select Bluetoth dial up fails unknown reason
If I just change to IRDA with the above settings it works
Sorry it didn't help.
Hey everyone,
Okay I'm going to try and explain what I am trying to do here, but I'm sure I'll miss some steps. I think I know what the problem is, but I still can't figure out a way to resolve it.
I have a Sony Ericsson Z710I mobile phone. I also have an i-mate Jasjar running AKU 3.2 (JW's Rom). Here is what I am attempting to achieve.
I want to use the Z710I as my telephone. I have bluetooth turned on and have connected the Jasjar to it. On the Z710I I have enabled the "bluetooth internet" option and set it to connect to the proper APN. On the Jasjar I have created a new network connection that uses Bluetooth modem, and have put in the APN as *99#.
So when I connect the Jasjar to the internet, it dials the bluetooth on the Z710. It recongnises the *99# command and connects to the proper APN and connection. This is the point in where it just doesn't want to hitch up. The phone has full access to the internet, however ... the Jasjar is just grabbing data traffic and I'm not sure why. It reports connected and is communicating to my knowlege.
When I disconnect the Z710 from the internet, the Jasjar immediatley reports that the modem has disconnected. That why I figure there is communication.
I have tried (on the Jasjar) to edit the network card settings for the bluetooth adapter to 'obtain IP automatically' but it made no difference.
Does anyone have any ideas ( or questions for me to help clairify?)
Thanks
Nathan
What kind of communication did you try? Internet Epxlorer? Opera? Messaging?
For example, IE, which is based on the Connectivity Framework, has a lot of problems that may render a connection non-working - I've written several articles on this stuff. A solution is trying with,say, OpMob / Messaging to be absolutely sure it's not just an IE-related problem.

I tried using activesync as well as IE, google maps and other internet based connections.
I just tried it right now, dialed the connection and tried to activesync. The z710i connected at the Jasjar's request and the Jasjar said connected. It then just sat there "synchronizing folders"
There are two APNs available through my phone. One is for WAP traffic, the other for Internet bound traffic. My phone is connecting properly or it at least setup properly to route traffic over bluetooth to the internet one.
I did hook up the phone through a bluetooth adapter on my computer and used it as a wireless modem it did work there. I wonder if the problem is the Microsoft BT Stack (it doesn't have a PAN profile).
Do we have a way to uninstall the MS BT Stack and install the WIdcomm one which would support PAN?
Just a thought.
Thanks
Nathan

Are you sure the z710i would support PAN server? I don't think so.
If it does, then, check out the Hermes / Wizard Widocmm BT stack hacking-related threads; hope the stack can also be hacked onto the Universal too.
(Unfortunately, AKU3 with its new BT approach (see my related articles if interested) won't work because it only supports BT PAN server mode for dial-up purposes, not client mode.)

I'm not sure how to check if it supports Bluetooth PAN server. I know that the Z710I can be used as a Bluetooth Modem (as I said previous, I hooked it up to my computer and used it as a internet connection - but when I did that I had to enable PAN client support on the PC [i think]) .. So is this where we are inherantly are having the problem? The Jasjar doesn't support PAN Client therefore, when it connects it doesn't know what to do with the connection?
I have figured it out.
I connected my Z710I to my laptop and I examined the "dial-up" connection and the syntax for the connection number was *99***2#
I changed the connection on my Jasjar, connected and everything is wicked. Now I can still sync my Jasjar while using a regular phone for a while.
Talk about a Personal Area Network .
Thanks for all the help.
The Universal only supports slow GPRS in North America, however, I also have an HTC Cavalier which supports fast 3G.
I would like the Universal to retrieve data from the Cavalier at 3G speeds.
I have achieved this using the BT DUN hack for the Cavalier and then letting the Uni dialup a connection with *99#. However, this has a couple of drawbacks:
1) Cannot make/receive a call simultaneously
2) The BT DUN hack requires the phone to be restarted to re-establish a regular 3G connection on the Cavalier (i.e. for Push Email)
The idea situation is to have the Uni connect to the Cavalier through BT PAN (instead of DUN) so that "Internet Sharing" may be used. Is this possible? Maybe another method?

Impossible. As has been pointed out in my latest BT PAN hack guide ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335543 ), the MS BT stack can only act as a server, not a client. That is, unless you completely ditch the MS BT stack and install the Widcomm stack instead (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1115973 , linked from my related article at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1649&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 ), you can't do what you want.
All in all: either the Widcomm BT stack or nothing.
Hi Menneisyys, Thanks for the info.
I tried the Widicomm stack but it behaves the same way, only DUN is available on the Uni. Any ideas to get it to be a PAN client?
Thanks again.
