shot in the dark...

This is a shot in the dark, but has anyone heard of anyone who got the mogul to work as an access point? Basically, use the evdo radio to connect to the internet, and use the wireless connection, either as an adhoc connection, or preferably as a full on access point with wpa2 to share to a laptop, other devices, etc. To better describe this, you can kind of do it with a laptop:
1. connect phone via ics or dun to laptop.
2. in windows, enable ics and create ah-hoc network with encryption.
3. Other laptop connects to windows laptop, gets wireless connection and is effectively using the phone as an access point.
Even better
1. Connect phone via dun to linux laptop.
2. Linux laptop (using madwifi driver or other open source) broadcasts access point settiings and works as a full on access point.
Scenario:
I want to be able to connect my mogul to my n800. I can do that now with DUN, but what if I want to use my bluetooth headphones, or the bluetooth keyboard that I haven't bought yet? Bluetooth only allows one connection at a time, so I'm SOL. If I could get my stupid mogul to work as an access point, then I could share my connection with any wireless device (how sick would that be) and reserve bluetooth for what I wanted to really do with it, not just browsing the net. Don't get me wrong, I love that I can even sync via bluetooth, but am just looking to expand the possibilties. Unfortunately, since this is WM6, I have no idea how to really work the SDK to see if network bridging is possible. If this were a Linux phone I'd probably be done already. =(

search for socks proxy.
it doesn't work that well, but it does work..

Ummm... I'm not sure what you are basing your Bluetooth information on, but the BT specification allows for up to 8 concurrent connections at once- one master devices and 7 slaves. Why do you think its only one at a time?
I use multiple connections all the time- Very often I have my phone connected to my bluetooth GPS receiver in the car, and at the same time I'm playing tunes from the same phone over my A2DP compatible car stereo... or, take a phone call on my BT headset, and all the while I'm still connected to the GPS who is still tracking my location using bluetooth. I can tell the person where I am in real-time.
I've also had someone send me a file while talking on the phone via BT headset.
You don't need such a complicated solution for your imagined problem! I don't see any reason you can't tether it and still connect to up to 7 more Bluetooth devices at the same time!
Still, using it as an access point might prove useful for other sorts of scenarios (teleconnected mobile Lan parties? WiFi on a Bus? The incredible moving hotspot?), but you don't need it... at least not for your described scenario!
Basides, you'll get better battery life out of your connected devices if just using BT instead of WiFi!

Best tethering solution till root is achieved?

Tethering is the thing I miss most - and the reason I still carry my g1 with my laptop.
I have heard that htc sync offers connection shareing - but I use linux.
What does everyone else use? Hopefully there is one of you out there with a good linux solution

I was using Proxoid with my BH2 with Ubuntu. It wasn't fun to set up, but it worked well.
On this note, anyone get Bluetooth DUN working on win7 via PDAnet?

I don't know if there's a solution for linux, but I had been using PdaNet with my G1 before I got the slide. I assume that it would still work. You should check it out in the market.

same question here. i'm probably just confused with the setup tho =[

does the help
Straight from junefabrics the ppl that made pdanet
Bluetooth DUN does not require installing anything on the computer end. So it supports all operating systems. You can install the phone piece directly from Android market.
After enabling Bluetooth DUN in PdaNet, you need to pair your computer with the phone. Use the Bluetooth configuration software on the computer end to look for the Android pone and pair with its "Dial-up networking" service. After that your bluetooth software should create a new dialup network connection over the Bluetooth modem. Use "123" as the phone number and blank username/password.
Again make sure you connect using the Bluetooth software that comes with your computer. Do not use the PdaNet Desktop client which is only for USB connection.
Since different systems come with different Bluetooth configuration software, you can simply Google "Bluetooth Dun setup instructions on YOUR_COMPUTER_OS_NAME" if you need more help.
also it says on there that only dun works on linux but u will have to to website for that

easy tether??
Has anyone tried to use easy tether? it automatically sets up tether through usb not sure if it works haven't tested it.

Saw this, but didn't work. Plus i think 123 is for Sprint, TMO is *99#, I think.

I have used both easytether and PDANet free version. They both work about the same. you install one app on the phone and hook up via usb to the computer and the computer downloads the drivers needed. very fast and easy setup and besides installing an app and plugging in usb cable you don't have to do anything. It worked great for me but it does require you connect via usb so would not be wireless by any means. I was connecting to a windows 7 computer.

figured out the bluetooth dun w/ pdanet.
if you've already tethered via usb, you should have 'PdaNet Modem' in your network connections.
right-click into its properties.
under the General tab & Connect using: , you should see the option 'Standard Modem over Bluetooth link #_'. make sure it is checked.
and the phone number is 123. username/password left blank.
apply all changes.
open pdanet on phone.
enable bluetooth dun.
it should pair the two.
connect to PdaNet Modem on computer

root has been achieved, may as well just root now

bluetooth pairing with evo on cm7

I try to pair my phone but It says " paired but not connected " and no option to connect

I get the same thing. It looks like it doesn't have any usable profiles i.e. my headphones shows phone audio and media audio profiles. My BT Keyboard (obviously) shows a keyboard profile. There are no profiles showing for the EVO tho.

The only way I can get my MT4G running CM7 to connect is using wifi tether in bluetooth mode. They coonect easily then. Without it I can get them to pair but not connect.

Unpair the phone from the xoom.
Open wireless tether
turn on bluetooth tethering
open settings
make device discoverable
re-pair devices
then the correct profile will appear.

Well i am not trying to connect for that, im trying to use the xoom as speakers or transfer files or something else.
do i need to run a external app to have them connect after being paired?
When im running a SENSE based rom and not cm7 and i connect via bluetooth on my laptop for instance it will let me play music via my evo to my laptop lol
maybe i should try using a sense based rom and try pairing

i've gotten it to work for a file transfer once. Mikfroyo has no trouble with this though.

You should be able to transfer files after that. Sense roms wouldn't connect for me.

[Q] Connect to the internet via USB/Bluetooth

I was wondering if anyone has successfully been able to get their Honeycomb and/or Acer A500 to connect online with either a usb connection or with bluetooth?
I have a blackberry 8520 which i've installed pdanet on and as far as i know got it successfully running.
I was able to then pair the A500 up with the BB, but it said that it wasn't connected to the BB.
Is there an app that i should download and install on the tablet? I do have gingerbreak installed on here and this is rooted.
Thanks

Did you google that to see if usb is even possible.
PS - A5000 yours must be the model up from mine

I have been trying to Google it. From what I've seen, people have been able to connect via USB through their Android phones, by setting up an ad-hoc.
I've tried using the mini usb, but had no luck. And bluetooth pairs but doesn't connect.

I have been able to tether mine to my Samsung Galaxy and get the internet that way. I take it you can't do this with your BlackBerry. With regards to Bluetooth, I had a similar problem where it was paired with my phone but not connected. I noticed that if I sent a file from one to another it would then ask to connect and you had to give permission.
EDIT:
I don't know if this helps.

CONFIG_BT_BNEP question

Hey everyone.
I want to use my Droid Charge to bluetooth tether to my transformer. I use pdanet tablet now which works, but has a few downfalls that I would like to go around.
My charge is rooted, and the kernel has "CONFIG_BT_BNEP" in it, which as I understand should make the internet connect option available in a regular bluetooth link. Unfortunately, it does not have the connect option. Any ideas why or what else is needed?
