Re: Bluetooth DUN on a HTC PPC 6700 & N800
 

Ah, thanks. It seems more likely that the N800 is not detecting it as a phone as it's detected as a PDA, even after removing and readding it.

I can edit the class, icon, and services but even after doing that, closing gconfig-editor, and reopening it, I can't add the dun_* keys. (I use CDMA)

Re: Bluetooth DUN on a HTC PPC 6700 & N800
 

Mine was also detected as PDA before repairing it after the DUN hack... Probably the DUN is the reason it is detected as phone.

Re: Bluetooth DUN on a HTC PPC 6700 & N800
 

Whoa! Using the connection manager to connect to Bluetooth-PAN still couldn't detect the phone, the Bluetooth devices control panel is still showing it as a PDA (I used gconfig to unsuccessfully search for pda and PDA), but the Phone control panel's "Selected phone" drop-down box now listed my phone name and choosing it allowed me to connect to Bluetooth-PAN successfully. :)

Edit: Note, I had to make all the gconfig changes qwerty12 had in his first screenshot, except the DUN_* which I couldn't add.

Now to find out if Bluetooth-PAN is as fast as WMWiFiRouter so I don't feel the need to buy it. :D

Thanks everyone!

No problem, glad that gconf stuff helped :)

(Otherwise that would have been annoying for me as it took me 15 mins to pair my phone and take the screenies and the gconftool -a dump etc :P :)

Hopefully others with the same problem will stumble upon this thread in the future. Thanks again qwerty!

Just curious, but does the PPC 6700 /w WM 6.1 have the same features as the Verizon XV6700 /w WM 5?

If it does, you may have a possibility to enable DUN access with this old trick:

1. Go to the PHONE application
2. ##3328873
3. enter code 000000
4. Select BT DUN
5. Click Edit
6. Choose enable
7. Select WMODEM
8. Click Edit
9. Choose enable
10. Push Save / OK
11. Push Ok
12. follow the prompt to restart your device

discover services, and voila! you've got bluetooth DUN available.

That did the trick for me with a XV6700 and my N810 when I needed to pair them. No longer have the 6700, so for the 6800 the only way I could get DUN to work was installing PdaNet. Hope this info. was helpful.

Re: Bluetooth DUN on a HTC PPC 6700 & N800
 

Thanks for the lead. I have Alltel though, and that code only dialed out.

But I'll be investigating this further.

Ah, the code I need for EPST (after checking the 6700's registry) is ##778. But after entering the unlock code there's no step 4 (Select BT DUN).

Anyone know if DUN is faster than PAN?

Re: Bluetooth DUN on a HTC PPC 6700 & N800
 

How do you use PdaNet with a NIT? My smartphone says the Windows desktop software needs to be running and the phone connected to the computer.

BTW: I ran Internet speed tests on dslreports.com ...

Using Bluetooth-Pan: 160-165 kbits/sec
Using WMWiFiRouter: ~250 kbits/sec

Re: Bluetooth DUN on a HTC PPC 6700 & N800
 

Bluetooth is slower than WiFI and I guess WiFI is meant for sharing internet anyway :/

(Technically not true but Wifi = networking and bluetooth is a jack of all trades and can be found in things like low powered phones etc)

Re: Bluetooth DUN on a HTC PPC 6700 & N800
 

The cool thing is I found a free program that does what WMWiFiRouter ($30 USD) does:

ICS Control v.21 - utility for controlling internet connection sharing

ICS Control is a GUI front-end for Internet Connection Sharing, a component of Microsoft Windows Mobile. It can be configured to do a variety of things including sharing your cellular internet connection over an adhoc WiFi network.

The only problem is I haven't been able to get it to work on my hacked WM 6.1 on a PPC 6700 yet. Maybe I need to uninstall the WMWiFiRouter trial.

Update: I got it working! And it's 340 kbit/sec on my N800! :P That's twice the speed I was getting with Bluetooth-PAN.
