Hello,
I know there is .cab existing for have my Touch using Bt_Dun but I aslo know I have to change a registry to make it work properly.
Does anyone can shed a light on this for me?

Good Day,
I'm in the same spot, I am searching in many forums for a solution.
If I find a solution that works I will post it here - please do the same!
My goal is to be able to carry a USB Bluetooth Adapter in my pocket, toss it in my friend's computer and QUICKLY setup a Bluetooth PAN to borrow his internet connection.
If anybody has any other solutions that may work for me I am listening!
Thanks, Audi2Audi.

The .cab file that you will find there will not work this way.
Is allow you to do the opposit. Use your wireless Internet on the computer
Hhhmm...Is anyone able to offer me a solution.
Bluetooth PAN is a service offered at the host PC (I have tried two different PCs) - However, my Bell Mobility HTC Touch (Vogue) does not recognize/offer the service in the Bluetooth Configuration. It only offers Stereo Headset and COM Port. Originally it offered ActiveSync as a service but that has since dissappeared for no apparent reason and replaced with the COM port option.
At home, assuming I could get the ActiveSync service back & to stick around, I could borrow my internet connection through ActiveSync.
As stated above though, I am looking for a QUICK solution when travellling away from home. Meaning without having to install ActiveSync/Mobile Device Center. The Bluetooth PAN option and ICS on the host PC appears to be the most workable solution. It is just a matter of getting the HTC Vogue to recognize it as a service.
Through reading several posts I have come to the conclusion that using a different Bluetooth Stack on the device may work. However, I have not come across instructions specific to the Vogue for achieving this.
Annnnny help or ideas to solve my problem is greatly apreciated!
Thank You, Audi2Audi.
Hi!
I am developing an application which connects a Wiimote to a bluetooth enabled android phone/device.
I did this by interfacing with the native bluez bluetooth library directly, rather than via the Android API. The reason for this is that Android API doesn't support HID devices, which a Wiimote is.
A problem now is that on some devices, mostly those sold by HTC, my app simply doesn't work. After calling the hci_get_route(NULL), this function should return an id of the first bluetooth device available (most likely 0), but instead returns ERNODEV (-1) as if no bluetooth device is available.
I suspect it has something to do with our beloved HTC grossly modifying something in the libbluetooth library to make this fail to work.
Has anyone ever done this kind of bluetooth interfacing?
How could I make this work?
Rooting the phone and replacing a library or two would be fine too.
For a list of working and non-working devices, check out the 2nd post of this thread.
HTC support
I just sent a customer service message to HTC about this issue. I hope they can get back to me with a "we'll work on it" message, or something. I really want this on my incredible. I'm new to coding like this, but could you disguise the Wiimote as another kind of device?
Just a response from someone equally interested in a solution. I'm trying to set up a bluetooth keyboard (Freedom Pro) with my gsm Hero running the 1.5 based MCR 3.2. Available drivers (Freedom's own, BlueInput & KeyPro) should work with 1.5, but HTC devices, especially the Hero, seem to be lacking something that is present in most 1.5 builds.
Investigating, I find the same issue of no route to device, because there is no known device. AIUI when bluetooth is turned on hciattach is used to establish a link to the hardware. At that point an hciconfig should list the hci0 device as present but down. However I find this list remains empty at all times.
I found this for keyboards.
Since I can't post the link, it's called "KeyPro for Android"
Google "keypro android" and click the first link.
Maybe that could help. It says it works with any android device above 1.5, however, I did read that some keyboards use a different type of bluetooth profile, SPP rather than HID.
I haven't heard back form HTC yet either.
EDIT: Upon reading your post again, you have tried this. Sorry, my bad.
Thanks for looking though The Freedom Pro is switchable between spp & hid profiles, so I figured I was safe, lol. Not with HTC's butchered 1.5 bt it seems.
Did you ever try to use the most likely id 0 on an HTC device? Even though the call to get the id fails?
Maybe you could use also the Android API to synchronize if a device is present and then use the id that Android API gives you?
Just some thoughts since I would love to see that App running on my Desire with Snesoid

Believe it or not, I actually tried this. Unfortunately, the next command (to bind the bluetooth adapter) also fails, and of course every command after that one because the adapter is not bound.
Thanks for the idea anyway.
usb
does the wii remote have usb connectivity? could it be possible to have the communication pass through that connection rather than bluetooth? one advantage of this would be increased battery life and probably better compatibility across models.
i'm sure some people would prefer bluetooth, but i figure i'll always be using it very close to my phone so i can see the screen, so the wired option is actually a bit more attractive (considering battery performance).
i know ps3 has usb connectivity as well, you just might need an adapter (mini to micro).

I'm pretty sure the first answer is no - our wii is round at a friend's atm. However even if it was yes, you'd need more than an adapter. USB operates with one device as master & the other as slave. To allow you to connect slave devices to your phone it would need to be in host mode. Some mobile phone hardware implementations support this, however I don't know of any mainstream Android kernels which do. Even if you workaround that, you're left with the huge issue that slave devices can assume it's safe to draw power from the USB bus which could do nasty things (tm) to a lower power device like a mobile. This can be worked around via a powered hub, but it all gets very messy.
I looked into this a few months ago, hoping I'd be able to use a usb keyboard with my Hero. I ended up with a BT keyboard instead. Of course that doesn't work either but for completely different reasons, as hinted at by this thread. Hopefully a 2.1 ROM will solve that, but that's the subject of numerous other threads.
Uh, just throwing stuff out, what if you have a pc with two bluetooth adapters, it connects to the wii mote, and then broadcasts that in someway the android api can understand?
Also please actually try working on something with a rooted phone, the HTC EVO 4g is rootable, and I will make man love(no homo) if you get it working.
Either one works lol.
Using a PC as a proxy is kind of useless. If you have a wiimote connected to a PC, you might as well play games on the PC itself (there are nes/snes/sega/etc emulators for PCs too).
At this moment, rooting doesn't help with the problem either.
@1 True
@2 That sucks.
Do we think that this will/could be fixed in HTC's Froyo update for 2010 devices? Not looking for definite answers, just a ponderin'.
well if you send the null pairing code to the wiimote from the default bluetooth pairing screen.. it will fail to communicate with the wiimote too

Doesn't it work in stock/vanilla Eclair? I thought the main problem was with Cupcake, though HTC seem to have done weird things to every stock firmware. I read that removing Sense from a 2.1 HTC ROM breaks bluetooth. Go figure. And there was I thinking Sense was a gui enhancement
I contacted HTC about their bluetooth issues and just received this response

I contacted HTC about this issue with my incredible and I basically got the same answer except the guy was more knowledgeable and said that other people were complaining about certain bluetooth issues. I think they know what they did and are waiting to fix it in Froyo to be easy for them. No worries though, should be comin' in a few weeks. I can't freakin' wait. I have soooooooooo much Pokemon and Mario to play.
does anyone know if this works on samsung galaxy s, i dont have my phone yet to test, but as soon as it arrives (sometime next week) i will test this.
All I can say is that my wii controller is working really well on cyanogen on my evolution now!
Hello guys,
I want to write an app that registers my android phone as a HID through bluetooth to my PC. I have found many descriptions how I can connect a bluetooth keyboard or mouse to an android phone but no working solution doing generally the opposite.
The most helpful so far was groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/73f03a22963b356d, but as you can see there also isn't any solution provided.
So is it currently even possible doing this with android? Could there be a way using the underlying BlueZ with the NDK?
Any hints and help would be much appreciated.
I'm currently working on something related, which is connecting an android phone to a PS3.
You can look in /system/etc/bluetooth, notably the main.conf file, in which you'll find a Device class definition. I yet have to try to change it, to see if it changes the way the device is recognized by others
Hope this will help.
I want to connect my DesireZ to lets say for instance, my HP Touchpad and use the hardware keyboard as a bluetooth keyboard? Is it possible or does the android Bluetooth drivers/stack not allow this?
have you used teamviewer?
thats more of a remote desktop app isn't? I have more interested in just turning the the desire Z into a bluetooth keyboard for tablets ect.
Try RemoteDroid.
Sent from my Desire Z running @ 2GHZ
He doesnt mean control it in that sense. Pretty much not using any software/server combination.
The idea is that the device itself when connected to anything else via bluetooth is detected as a Bluetooth Keyboard (ONLY). This would allow it to control anything including other phones and not use any server software. Just like how we tether our wifi, any device connected to it thinks our phone is a wireless router.
I also wondered about this awhile back and it would be beyond awesome.
actually try blueput droid that may work no real guarantee
So i've done the six axis process with my s3, it was successful several times. Currently i'm running stock 4.2 rooted on my nexus 7. I've downloaded the pairing tool for my pc, changed the bluetooth adress of my controller to match my tablet. HOWEVER whenever i go to "start" in the app on my tablet it does the "attempting connection type 1 and then 2" Sits there for a while and never pairs to my device. I'm also seeing similar people having this exact issue
"This app is the greatest thing to happen to Android. It does it all. The touch emulation is fantastic. I really can't say enough good things about it. Buy it! You'll definitely be glad you did."
same thing happens to me and it messes my wifi up. Is this a bug we have to deal with until app dev fixes it or has anyeone heard of a work around?
I'm always able to find an answer in a different site shortly after i post. someone posted this...
I emailed the dev, and he sent me an email yesterday, and he said "I'm aware of this issue and hope to have a fix soon. Android 4.2 has introduced a new Bluetooth stack, so it will take some time to rewrite the sixaxis driver. I hope to have a fix within a week."
I'm in the same shape. This is the only reason I rooted my Nexus 7. I'm not going to roll back to an earlier image. If this isn't fixed in a week or so, Im going to restore my N7 to factory.
I paired my N7 with my mac and got the BT address. I used the mac sixpair app and wrote that address to my PS3 controller. Then I tried the Sixpair Controller test, but no joy via BT or USB. Hopefully this is fixed soon.
I heard that bluetooth was broken with 4.2 :[

What do you mean?
Other Question: What means the Connection Type? What is the difference between 1,2,3?
