Motorola Q tethering?

[ojensch]

How do I tether a Verizon Motorola Q to my N800? I have the data package with the tethering option.

I had it working once via blue tooth the first night that Verizon enabled the additional data access on my phone, I suspect They sent an update (?) as I have never been able to make it work again. I had previously loaded the registry fix to enable DUN via BT, as Verizon was disabling this ability. I don't know at this point if the registry is still set to allow. Let us know if you are able to get it working. I'll post back also, If I figure it out.

The bluetooth stack on the moto q is funny and doesnt play well with the n800. Install PDAnet and you're all set.

I loaded PDAnet on my Q and paired my N800 with my Q and still no luck connecting. Can you provide details of how you got yours to work?:confused:

:) I got it. Ioadede pdanet and re-paired my Q. Btw which is faster Data calls or packet data?

Thanks!! Installed PDAnet and got mine working too.

What did it take to get the N800 working with PDANet?
UName and PW in #777 DataCall or not?
I am still having trouble establishing a connect even with PDANet.

Have RePaired and reran the phone wizard etc.

RePaired and manually set up a dial up connection. Now PDANet on the Q is asking me to register. I haven't confirmed that this will work with South Florida Verizon as of yet.

Uninstalled PDANet from the handheld and reinstalled from my pc - standard install using Active Synch.
Confirmed that Motorola Q on Verizon with the Data Plan activated.
Note that my procedure involved doing the normal blueTooth Pairing and then manually setting up a new connection for Verizon with
DataCall
#777
user MyCellNumb@vzw3g.com

Sweet, the fact that Cell phone calls can be received during (rather interruption instead of no phone calls at all) a data call makes PDANet completely worth the price for me.

If you have the tethering option on your plan, you don't need a user/pass. I just leave mine blank and it works just fine.

I also left my username and password blank. With the Q and PDAnet I only saw speeds of 150 to 200 Kbps but with the KRZR I saw speeds of 470 to 520 Kbps.

I dont know what the reason is for the huge difference in speed between the phones. Maybe its due to the fact that the KRZR is bluetooth 2.0?? I also heard that with PDAnet you don't get an EVDO connection.. But I never looked into it.

hi, is it safe to say the moto q is not prefered for the n800 since the limitations of bluetooth?

After multiple attempts at initiating an internet connection, I finally deleted Pdanet on my Q, reinstalled the latest version, checked "Enable Bluetooth DUN", deleted the bluetooth pairing on the N800, then re-paired the N800 and Q. The N800 then recognized my Q as a GSM phone. While going through the phone connection setup on the N800, my Q was recognized as a GSM phone. I changed the dialup number to #777 and left the username/pw blank. Voila...connection immediately made!
Bandwidth speed testing produced a result of 150 kbps, so I received web page loading at a mediocre rate. However, it's better than 0!
Will try to re-pair as a CDMA phone and see what happens.
