Internet speed as a laptop Modem

been playing with the vario 2 for few days now, and im very impressed, had a mda pro previous to that. I have web n walk pro, on the phone i get upto 1.2MB internet speed which is what i expect dure to HSDPA, but when i connect the phone to laptop as amodem via usb or blueetoth i get 364KB (the 3G speed).
Why is there a difference in speed? maybe im doing something wrong.
any help would be much appreciated.

Ok, you need to edit the modem within networking in windows(on your pc). You can change the connect speed from a pull down box.

Don't forget that the Bluetooth connection itself is going to slow you down... and even if you have a Bluetooth 2.0 card, the TyTN does not support EDR...
As such, I'd be very surprised if you got any faster than you're already seeing...
I'm sure that as soon as somebody figures out how to make it work, a tethered USB connection will be faster than a Bluetooth one... but this is still not possible...

Try Tethered USB. It's much faster and allows for your full speed. Check the Wiki FAQ. There's instructions there.

Has someone done a usb dial-up connection or usb wireless-modem connection with TyTN? My TyTN reachs 1.5-1.6 Mbps but when a set a dial-up bluetooth connection it only reachs 300 Kbps (with online speed tests). And i cant plug it as wireless usb modem (nothing happens in any of my computers). Some idea?
Thanks

since the TyTN does not support EDR, it's speed is limited, so your getting the max out of BT DUN. Instructions for the USB DUN are included on your CD that came with your device and it has the proper drivers in there. The files (Instructions + Driver) can be also downloaded here:

repeating....
Has someone done a USB dial-up connection or USB wireless-modem connection with TyTN? (not with htc universal or other. I say with TyNT)
Thanks

Bluetooth PAN really slow

Hello,
I have HTC Touch Diamond, changed from Nokia N95. I have a problem
with Bluetooth PAN connection from Mac OS 10.5.4. It works, but it is
really slow. I have HSDPA icon on phone while connected. I've tried
tcpdump to see, if there is no software accessing the Internet. I have
installed iStat Pro and see, that on en4 interface (which is my bluetooth
device), I never do more than 4-5kB/s (that is 40Kbps) of download. I
have unlimited plan and using Nokia N95, I was able to download in megabits
per second (using the same notebook and SIM card). My signal is quite strong.
It seems, that using Internet directly from Touch Diamond (not via notebook)
is much faster, but I don't know how to measure that.
I've tried lowering MTU on the interface, but this did not help. Any
idea what could be wrong?
Thanks,
Juraj.

How did you configure BT PAN on the HTC?
Thanks

Internet Sharing app allows you to create a bluetooth PAN network.

There is a known issue with the MacBook Pro / MacBook air and bluetooth PAN with windows mobile. It suffers a latency issue.
If you ping a site such as www.google.com continuously you will notice that the response time will vary wildly.....if it is the same issue.
There is no fix as I understand. I use a VMware fusion virtual machine and connect via a USB cable. I cannot provide internet connectivity to the Mac without using wifi router which drains the battery at an alarming rate (even when charging off the machine!)

Improving Tether Wifi On GPRS

Well hello everybody! Hoping somebody might have a good input on this, lets start out with what I have...
A Rooted g1 with RC33 and the paid app Tether Wifi. I connect to a TMobile tower with GPRS and am able to browse the internet ect. My connection is (on average) 40KBps down, 25KBps up, with a latency of 1000ms (pinging www.pcpitstop.com in command prompt). My PCs run on Vista x64-bit.
Does anyone know of any optimizations that may improve my connection? I'm assuming bandwidth is a no go, but what about that latency? And is there anyway to configure this to allow my desktop that its connected to the same network through ethernet cable to connect, it appears the connection is limited to wifi. Any input would be very much appreciated.

Tether + Ethernet cable, is this possible?

I'm buying a TV with an ethernet port which has the feature of streaming via the net. Can I tether my phone to my PC and have the TV pull a signal from my PC using my phone as a modem? How would one do this?
Thanks!

this could be done using a pc and internet connection sharing or a cradlepoint router.
however, it will also be a great way to burn so much data usage to get your account suspended, warned or charged for overage.

Ive used massive amounts of data without being warned. In fact,Ive ran bit torrent. There is no way that I have not gone over the limit some month using the phone as my primary internet connection.
Im not entirely sure what the OP is asking,but here is what I know. You can use your phone as an internet connection in several ways. The easiest is using a hack to connect via USB or bluetooth. I have found this to be very unreliable. You can use a third party program to do the same thing as well. I use a program called PDA net which works much more reliably. You can also use hacks or third party programs to connect via wifi.
Your phone will provide a connection similar to slower DSL lines. You can expect 800-1200k downloads and 150-300k downloads (your millage may vary here,but that's what I have gotten in Ohio and Utah)
If you want to connect to an ethernet device there are a few options. You can use programs allow your phone to share over wifi and create an adhoc network. You can also connect your phone to an access point and then configure your network devices default gateways to point to the phone instead of the access point.

Using the PC host Internet connection

Hi All,
I have had a look through the forums, (I may just not be searching for the right thing.) so please excuse me if this has already been answered somewhere.
I have just bought the Hero everything is standard at the moment as I am not sure yet what I am doing with the Android OS as I currently have a Rhodium WinMo phone.
On the Rhodium you are able to connect the USB cable to the PC and use you PC's current DSL connection to access the internet from the phone and not the phones mobile internet connection, I have not been able to achieve this from the Hero, it keeps telling me I need to enable the mobile internet connection to access the internet.
Does the Hero have the same functionality as the WinMo devices?
Many Thanks

afaik this is not possible so far. easiest way to get landline internet on the hero is to use wifi.

Well, if you have Windows 7 in your PC, you can use Wireless Hosted Network and use PC's internet connection by connecting Hero to Win7 via WiFi. Manual instructions I used. Alternatively you can try Connectify or Virtual Router, but they are just a pretty interface for the same thing and I couldn't get them to work.

Many Thanks for the help i will try this out
