Hi All
wonder if anyone else has had issues with bluetooth and infra red transmission? i can pair perfectly with any device but as soon as i try and transmit files or someone transmits to me it fails immediately...........??no reason for error and no error except "failed".
I had this functioning perfectly for one day and now it just does not work....reset handset (hard reset) and setup again....still wont work.....
Anyone help please? i really have given up with calling 02 support, ittakes like an age to get someone on the phone and only occasionaly do you get anyone thats even touched the device! sorry to any 02 support people who do know what they are talking about but when i ask you people about vpn/terminal services over wifi i expect you to know what vpn means at least!....jeeees
Cheers

Seems a little harsh. I don't suppose the O2 support team are trained in the sort of networking technologies that you mention, since O2 is a mobile phone company, not a Windows or networking consultancy. They're more your average customer-services kinda folk. Try asking them about O2's services, phone options or tariffs.
Oh. Hold on. I did, and they were crap. :shock: :roll: The first operator told me that video calling on my monthly tariff costs 50p per minute. The second operator confirmed that (for the forseeable future) the calls are inclusive, in your montly minutes.
I don't think O2's customer service is great, but I would't call them expecting help on networking or Windows technologies.
PS. No offence intended, hence the
How many devices have you tried to pair it with? The problem may not be with the stack on the XDA but the other device.

Yep, i would also ask the same. Maybe you have tried this: ( I think no pairing even needed)
Go to file explore;. tap and hold on a small file. Choose beam. Then you should see: Infrared, and under it: searching.
Does it find the other Bluetooth device?
Huib
Ive had a few problems with pairing up with the XDA IIi (my other phone)
Same thing, just randomly fails. Going to try it with an S very soon.
why should O2 support WiFi and VPN such?
These are things which are not network related thus, O2 cannot be held responsibile for any of these not working.
Wifi will work if its setup correctly. Every single Wifi setup is different in some way shape or form which is why mobile phone operators wont support features like this. However if you cant make a phonecall, send a txt or MMS im sure they would get the problem solved.
At the end of the day guys yes 02 are responsible for only call related stuff, but to sell equipment and not know what it does and how to support it is crap! (sorry but it is!).
Wifi works perfectly and i have had no issues with this, bluetooth will pair with devices but send and receive to none...have tried my tablet pc, Samsung D600, Nokia 6230 etc....all fail.....
VPN over wifi does not work correctly unless you can hit a public DNS address (i.e doesnt work via I.P).....however it does work over 3G??? funny that isnt it....the free way of connecting to my office or other servers doesnt work but but the expensive way does???hmmmmm
Anyway i'm moaning too much now, its a nice phone and things kinda work but i'm not overly impressed! bluetooth is something i do use as is terminal services and it'd be nice if they both worked as i would expect.....

hi
I live in the netherlands and everywhere i go there is at least one wifi spot but the problem is that almost all of them are secured so that outsiders cant use it.is there a way to bypass that security?
thanks in advance
theres a reason why it has security on it mate, you shouldnt attempt to access a network which you have no right to access, its illegal in nearly all countries to hack into someone elses network.
but for eductional purposes all i can tell you is that it can be done by capturing iv packets and then sniffing out the network key. it can be a long process unless you use data injection, and it depends on what type of security protocol the network is running, some take around 5minutes to hack and others could take longer depending on whether a brute force attack is required.
Remember do not try and hack into someone elses network, it is illegal
and if anyones thinking how i know this, its because i have run tests on my own network to check the integrity and strengh of my security.
i use wpa with a network key composed of random letters and numbers, which means a brute force dictionary attack would be useless, so i am very safe.
Do not hack, or ask any one how to hack someone elses network on this forum mate, you might get banned.
The title of the area 'Development & Hacking' relates to the semi-legal work on the devices in question, not to totally illegal full-on network hacking/intrusion - you won't get any help here... and i'll probably get flamed for even answering you...
its kinda funny that he posted this under "Development & Hacking", i bet you hes never heard of this site before and must have been searching using the keyword "hacking" and ended up on this site.
any ways, there is a way you can bypass the security, go ask the person who owns the network, if they can let you use their internet lol
I have always wished there was a way to just send a message to the network owner, just so I could ask nicely.
Plus you have people like me who would shae there network, if it was easily separated into a secure / unsecure segment. I've thought of buying a third router in order to do this....But my generosity would be in doing it free and easy, not in spending more money and effort
Reminds me of an XKCD...

Hello,
I just bought a HTC Dream off ebay, it closed at $255.00 new, of course, it is T-mobile branded and is the "G1". I became fascinated with the android port for the Kaiser (mine is a tilt), and decided i wanted the android phone everyone was going on about. As you know, because its a tilt, i am with at&t and the Dream is unlocked, will i have any problems making this phone work with my network? Everything ive read says it will be perfectly fine. Along with that, having no experience with Android except the port to the Kaiser, ive only played with linux on my laptop when looking for a new OS. But, is there anything i need to know about the Dream? As you know everything isnt working on the android port, it does enough i can use it as my full phone, but other then the market, few apps., and the browser, i really know nothing about the operating system.
As far as I know you won't get any AT&T 3G on the G1/Dream, but apart from that everything ought to work.
I am on ATT right now and have the G1. Its a wonderful phone. I also had the Tilt before this one. This phone has so much potential. The only flaw that i have found is the ATT 3G doesn't work and that theres not bluetooth file transfer, but besides that. I love this phone.
The 3G doesnt bother me, as i dont live in an area that has it. You could say i live in the "middle of nowhere." The nearest city with 3G im near is probably St. Louis, and thats about a 5 hour drive. And the bluetooth is ok, i never really use it. Have you had any trouble using the Dream with at&t so far?
I also have one more question. Being an open source OS, how does android sync with computers? I have a macbook pro which I use syncmate on to sync my tilt, windows mobile device center on my hp laptop running vista, and activesync on my desktop running xp, so, how does this work? Since it is open source, like OSX, will there be any programs made, or are there any out already? And how will it sync with the Windows computers? Sorry for all the questions, I have never used anything but a WM phone whish is smple for these types of things.

This Phone doesn't sync with your computer like a Windows Mobile Phone. It syncs with the Google server over the internet. You can mount the phone and view and move files to and from it like you would a Usb drive.
Hmm...maybe i am thinking of KC MO? I could have swore St. Louis had 3G. So, your saying i cant conect to my comp. and go through the phones files like on WM? And what exactly do you mean it syncs with googles servers? I guess when i log into my google acount it syncs what ever data is on the account? Thats what i am understanding from all that i have read.
sorry for the typo, i meant can not cant connect, i am viewing the site from my tilt at the moment so not everything turns out perfect.
When you connect the G1 to the computer the G1 will have a notification. You then will MOUNT it to the computer to make it into a USB MASS STORAGE DEVICE. Then you will be able to browse the files on the sd card. And like the person said above the G1 syncs with Googles server. All your contacts, calanders, gmail will be saved to your gmail account. Make sure when you first setup the phone to setup the APN to ATT, so that you can use the EDGE network for ATT to register your G1. Its kinda a pain to have to setup the APN each time you wipe the phone. But i dont mind it, because this is an awsome phone.
Alright, making mores since now. Thanks for all of you taking the time to explain. I know the APN and such, im using the Android port for the kaiser right now, so i have a little feel for everything that has been ported so far. Is there no way to save the APN settings to the SD card? I thought i read somewhere before that you could do that? All this talking about the phone is making me anxious, cant wait for it to come in.

Ummm... I hate to break it to you but unless you are a freak accident, St Louis has excellent 3G coverage since last October. They have had basic 3G since '06 I think, and last October they HUGELY extended it, about 40 miles further south (YAY! about 15 miles from my house now!) and widely elsewhere. St. Louis has a HUGE 3G coverage area now. Check it out under data at http://wireless.att.com/coverage-viewer and then tell me there is no 3G again.
its in
well, i was just informed that my new dream is in, i wont be home for two hours or so, ill tell about my likes and dislikes and such after a bit.
Well as it turns out, got the phone, and it works great. Popped my at&t sim in it and rebooted, it wants an unlock code, dose anybody know where I can get one fore free? I don't want to pay the 20+ dollars to some of the plasces I've found to get te code, andive read to get it through tmobile you have to be a customer for 90 days. Does anybody have a solution for my problem? Id really like to use my phone! Thanks in advance
Unfortunately there is as of now no way to unlock it for free. The cheapest unlock I have seen so far is on modmygphone.com, the sister site of the famous modmyi.com iphone modding site. So it is trusted and I believe, although I could be wrong, it is only $12-13. Sorry...
Thanks for the info. I went with www.unlock-tmobileg1.com. Ive read much about it so i figured id go ahead. Hopefully i get the code soon, as i am very anxious to use this phone, ive showed it off all night, i just havnt gotten pass sign in. grr. Hoping i get the unlock code in a few hours, for now, i will sleep on it till morning.
Okay this is my first post and, I'm pretty sure I'm posting in the right spot if not I'm very sorry with that said.
I have been reading articles that say you can get free gprs internet by using web proxy setting if this in fact possible then couldn't you just use fringe and AIM to send sms messages and some sort of viop service to make calls? I have done some research into the subject and it looks like in theory this should be possible, I just can't seem to get it all figured out hoping that others can help make this idea a reality. Also I don't know about the rest of the world but here in the U.S at least you can still make calls to 911 even with no service enabled.

In the UK our emergency number is 999 and it doesn't cost.
Wouldn't they detect that your using their internet for free?
yes
of course... i used bittorrent to get skype for my diamond... i connect to wireless through wifi. and my phone is unlocked among other hacks. they can't legally stop you also if you have the linux hack search for a voip program calld akiga which is free
i pay for skype but hell i don't pay for service on my htc
just remember you can't get skype from their site cuz they ask for a phone-number... but you can torrent it happy hacking

That was a very old way to get GPRS, and I believe it was only on one or two carriers, who I am sure have closed off the loophole.
IIRC it was also only for a couple of LG handsets.
But what you would be doing was/is illegal, and you would likely get caught if you tried to use VOIP over it.
At which point, you will have trouble finding anyone who will back you, as the rest of us pay our monthly bill and just accept it. I got my contract at 50% discount by asking for the right things and researching when was best to buy etc...
I don't recommend it, and you will get caught if you try anything like this... The networks monitor for strange usage such as data on a SIM with no data package etc.
I didn't think this was illegal since i wanted to connect gprs threw a proxy server so ur tunneling around there service. But even with no sim card a phone can still call emergency so if you did all this with no sim card would it still be consider stealing?
I have, and I found a ton of articles that are similar to what I need but in reverse. Allow me to explain, I have a Epic 4G and iTouch now I would normally use WiFi and get my internet with that but here is the problem. At my office we are not allowed to use Wifi as it is a financial institution as it would open the door up for all kinds of security issues which I understand but then we also have sh*tty cell service on this entire floor.
Here is what I am trying to do, let me know if you can help or at the very least point me in the right direction.
10MB Office Connection > ==== > Desktop + Linksys Bluetooth Dongle > ==== > Epic 4G/iTouch
You see I can teather find to a laptop and get internet on it, my issue is I want to do it in reverse I want my Epic and/or iTouch to piggy back off of the bluetooth connection from my machine.
Damn that is a really hard problem you have there.

Wow this is a really tough problem. Sorry I could not help. You are really restricted a guess your job wants to make sure you are really working and not messing around. I spent a hour trying to find an answer to your solution. If you could use wifi from your phone it would be an easier solution but just wifi damn that is tough.
I think you misunderstood my question, I cannot do that as I would need to install software that would allow outbound traffic (software installed on PC is a No-No) for the most part, but I can use the BlueTooth Dongle which I know allows for ICS...just unsure how to configure it.
So my question is can I use my desktop to setup ICS with Windows 7 to share my internet connection with my Epic 4G / iTouch via a bluetooth dongle....not via USB (which would require drivers) or wifi (which would require a card and drivers + software)...
well im not sure i think you can but why dont you buy a hot spot it safe you all the trouble. and its your own personal spot
He has terrible service at work. That's why.

Sounds like you are trying to by-pass the exact security procedures they have in place to prevent protected data from being accessed inappropriately. If your phone can use bluetooth to connect to your computers internet, then anything on your phone could compromise your computer and internet connection.
I would say, either switch cell phone providers to find one that has coverage in your office, or don't surf the internet or check personal email on your companies time.

You do realize that the data will still go through your computer, right? If you aren't allowed to pull personal data onto that computer, then you can't get the data through said computer onto another device without violating that rule.

I realize that but it is not just personal email, I freelance my skill set out and there are times when I am requested and do not find out about it until after I get off of work and a few times (more times than not) the issues could have been resolved with me MSTSC'ing into end users machine to resolve the issue...
So, you don't think that the data will be transmitted over the corporate network, through the corporate proxy and firewalls and logged because you are doing the actual browsing via your phone? I think your only option is ask IT for an isolated network drop that you are allowed to use to check your personal email (and do paid consulting for other people using their resources) or give up. If you were in my company and I got wind of your attempts to bypass the IT policy by using BT dongles, or any other method you'd be asked to leave, especially doing work for your "side clients" while you should be doing the work I'm laying you for.

Yeah, your problem is your boss gave you permission because he only understands part of the issue. Those policies are designed to protect the company from internal threats as much as external, but he only has the fairly common knowledge about wifi as one possible route to compromisation.
Regardless, personal matters should only be handled on personal time - he isn't paying you to fix anything outside of the company. What you're attempting to do by freelancing on the clock is called double dipping, and I'd bet that if you laid all your cards on the table, your boss would take issue with that aspect of it. Besides, no company would fully trust employees by gambling on the hope that they won't try to steal confidential information, given the opportunity - they realize there is always a risk of such a theft occurring, but they would never do anything to make it easier, which is exactly what such a connection would do.
You said the entire floor has poor reception - it is not unheard of for companies to insulate their property to block cell reception for security purposes... you may be honest and upstanding, but you could also be trying to circumvent security measures. We have no way of knowing, but this entire plan sounds suspect.

"double dipping" and I would say conflict of interest. This is a shame, why people always try to find a loophole to do what they want instead of what they're supposed to be doing at work.
