I have a bt access point and a htc touch device.
I discover the AP but it shows no services.
With a wm5 phone I see the service, I can do a network connection and I can surf the web.
But with the touch I can't create a network bluetooth connection.
How can I do this with my touch???
Thanks

Hi All,
When I discover services for my device, it does not show Bluetooth network service (shows SSA service etc.). I believe this device does not support bluetooth network service. Is there a way to set the bluetooth network service by installing some sofware or any other way - this is very important to me cause I need to establish a network connection between by xda II and lappy.
Regards and Thanks in Advance

Apologies but I am verynew to the Atom and networking. Could somebody please assist with a simple to follow list of steps for me to connect to the internet at an internet cafe. I turn on the wifi and it will generally stay on for a short time but when I try to use internet explorer to get to gmail (or any other site) it comes back with a message that the connection was lost. I know there was no problem with the wireless connection in the cafe as my pc was downloading at the time. many thanks
Hi,
First of all, are you able to connect to the Internet from your device at home?
....or is it the case that you don't have an access point at home and simply want to connect to the Internet from an Internet cafe or WiFi hotspot?
Generally, if you have correctly configured (set-up) your Atom correctly, to connect, using WiFi, that setup should still work outside of your home, assuming you have a free WiFi hotspot. The only difference being that this time, it is not using your own access point. All you need to do is simply to connect (as you were doing).
The same goes with an Internet cafe, as long as the routers in the Internet cafe are setup to allow connectivity from un-named devices (such as your Atom), in adition to connectivity from their own specific computers (hence you were able to download, using the computers at the Internet Cafe).
The keyword here is OPEN - be it at an Internet cafe, WiFi hotspot or whatever. It's got to be open (and free), before you can connect and surf the Internet, like you were trying to do.
Failing that, you'll have to subscribe to the service provider before you can use their WiFi hotspot (e.g. at an Internet cafe, Macdonald's, hotel, airport) or any other public place.
Your device should be able to see all nearby networks. It should also indicate the strength of the signal according to the number of bars next to the network. Additionally, it will show, by way of a padlock, that it is a secure network. No padlock means it is an open one.
If there are open networks within your vicinity that do not require authentication, with a strong signal, then all you need to do is to click connect and you're on - away and surfing.
However, if the signal is weak, (assuming that it does not require authentication), then, you simply would not be able to connect to that network.
Try and figure out from here, as to why you weren't able to connect at the Internet Cafe.
Hope this helps.

Guys,
I'm hoping somebody with some time can just help me out here. My Touch HD is on Vodafone (UK) and I have some issues with connectivity.
I have a home wireless network, along with "Contract Internet" provided by Vodafone. If I start by telling you what I'm after. I basically want all my applications to use my "Contract Internet" network (GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA) by default, providing that there is NO active Wifi connection or USB connection. If there is, it is to use that.
Now the problem I have is that the only way I could ensure that my device connected to a) my home resources and shares (pc's and printers) and b) connect through my wireless router for gateway access to the internet (without the net attempting to launch GPRS connection) was to set both "Programs that automatically connect to the internet....." and "Programs that connect to a private network...." connection networks (Start, Settings, Connections, Networks, Network Management) to display "My Work Network" - this seems to allow that....however, when not connected to wifi, the GPRS or Contract Internet connection launches fine, but doesn't allow access to lots of applications which normally would utilise the network....only the internet works. Windows Live, RDP, you name it.....it doesn't work....unless I switch back the "Programs that automatically connect to the internet....." connection to "Contract Internet"
Ideas...help...please!
Cheers in advance
**bump** Please - at my wits end!
Is it possible to use the internet connection of an HDSPA cellular through the BT as if my HD was a PC with BT dialup?
Found!
In Connections you must create a new remote connection with a Bluetooth modem(the other cellular) and the use the numeber "*99#" without username and password...
Works perfectly!
Just for record, you can use any BT phone with support for DUN profile, even a CDMA with Data support. This can be useful where HSDPA is not available and GPRS/Edge is too slow for practical use/costlier.
I have an htc touch running nfsfan's 6.5 rom and recently bought a cheapo bluetooth usb dongle that uses bluesoleil.
I've configured activesync to feed the touch internet via bluetooth and can browse the web and all through that connection, but none of my sip programs can register their connection.
Upon googling it turns out activesync dosnt pass the required udp packets for voip.
The second solution is to create a bluetooth network completely bypassing activesync.
And here are my problems:
- I cannot establish a pan connection from bluesoleil as long as I do not establish a bluetooth activesync first (am able to exchange business cards though)
- If i establish activesync, then bluetooth pan, then disconnect activesync, the pan connection is still active, but I get about 75% packet loss when pinging my router from the phone and apps want to dial the #777 to get internet.
The touch not having wifi, that bluetooth pan connection seems to be my only solution to get voip working on that phone (cell provider phone data connection has very high latency and unusable for voip)
Any suggestions greatly appreciated
