Re: T-Mo Pearl (8100) with N800???

Hey Ryank42,
Sorry to hear its not working with the 770. Just wondering which version of the OS on the 770 are you using? Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm not sure also which version of bluetooth the 770 has. The 800 is 2.0 while the 770 is 1.2 and maybe the Pearl 2.0. It should be backwards compatible but maybe the dial up networking was only updated for the 2.0 profiles. I've never had a 770 but it may also be the OS on the 770. Just some ideas.

Public Notice - N800 - Fido - Perl

For Public Record:

I have managed to repeatedly get a data connection through Bluetooth DUN considering the following.

Unlocked Perl 8100 (Cingular Branded)
App Version: 4.2.1.101 (164) A1 firmware

Nokia N800
OS 2007
Version 4.2007.26-8

Fido Blackberry Connect data plan

Connection Type: Packet data
APN: internet.fido.ca
Dial-up number: *99#
User: fido
Pass: fido
No advanced settings altered

I found that I had to initiate the connection from the N800 a few times before it would get working. It fails once or twice, but once it connects everything works flawlessly (perhaps... somewhat slow... )

My 8700g (with 4.2 firmware) originally wouldn't work with the N800 too, but I managed to get it to work by setting a custom AT command:

I will be trying the same with a Cingular Pearl next...

Well it is with 4.2.1.66 version. Somehow that version enables the connection. I must have upgraded to the next version and since the pairing was already eastablished it kept the same profiles open thru each device. When I paired the N800, it didn't work at first. I upgraded to the latest version and it still didn't work. I downgraded to 4.2.1.66 and it paired and on the first try gave a different error than I got with the other versions. I tried again and it worked. I would think but I'm not sure if I upgrade to the latest and somehow keep the pairing settings it should work.

Make sure you downgrade by uninstalling them in add/remove programs and then use usb to downgrade.

Link to 4.2.1.66

Good luck!! :)

This is excellent news. I'm going to be picking up a T-Mobile Blackberry Pearl tomorrow. Can anyone confirm that they are still able to tether the N800 using the 4.2.1.66 firmware? Thanks!

The only change I had to make was changing the internet2.voicestream.com apn name to wap.voicestream.com (on t-mobile of course...) because the pearl cant access internet2 (at least mine cant) and it worked great, but only ONCE. when I disconnected that connection I never managed to connect to the pearl again. I think I might have gotten it to work for a brief period a second time by hard booting both devices (battery out) but I know it didnt stay connected for long, and when the Pearl (mine anyway) takes about 8 minutes to "reboot" this wasnt a good solution for me. So I gave up and bought a Nokia 6133 for $30.00 US and I use that when I need a cell connection to the internet.

Man, my patience is wearing thin. I recently picked up a T-Mobile BlackBerry Curve (8320) and tried getting it tethered with my N800 via Bluetooth. Like the poster I quoted, I was able to get it connected ONCE, but only after using these settings I found on another thread:

Anyway, here's what I did:

1. Pair the phone with the N800, making it a trusted device
2. Go to Control Panel > Connectivity > Connections > New
3. Click Next on the Connection Setup Welcome screen
4. Set the connection name you want, and Connetion type: GPRS, click Next
5. Access point name: wap.voicestream.com, Dial-up number: *99***1#, click Next
6. Click Advanced > Other
7. Supplementary AT commands: AT+cgdcont=1,"IP","wap.voicestream.com", click OK
8. You should now be able to click the Connection icon in the status bar and click Change connection... to switch to your new connection

It connected and I was able to surf a web page or two, loaded up the home page and google.com and then stopped responding. After that, all I get is the server error message, which I guess is better than "internet connection failed", but it's still not working either way.

I should note that I tried all the previous settings listed in this thread (and others) and this was the only configuration that worked, even though it only worked once and briefly at that.

Any ideas are appreciated and If anybody gets a T-Mobile Curve let me/us know if you have any luck!

Re: T-Mo Pearl (8100) with N800???

Hi, I still use my pearl to tether to the N800 every day. I got a text message the other day about T-Mobile's newest upgrade. I think its the latest version of the OS so it may OR may not work. As for the Blackberry Curve, it may be too new. I can check but if I remember correctly it was OS version 4.1.0.66 for the Pearl that worked. There is a way to downgrade or upgrade any providers (T-Mobile, AT&T and others) with any OS but I think it may be device specific. What OS version do you have for the Curve? I think I'm going to try upgrading to the newest OS again for the Pearl and try if it works. Downgrading's a chore since backing up takes some time. I'll do it though if breaks the tethering ability.
I don't have a Curve to test anything on but I know the Pearl with the older version definitely works. Good luck!

Re: T-Mo Pearl (8100) with N800???

I tried doing a search and didnt come up with anything. I'm new to this foeum and the IT. I've got a pearl and and n800 that i just bought, when I use DUN it loads a page then disconnects right away with a message "Authentcation Failed try again". I used the instructions a couple posts up. Basically the same as getting DUN working with my powerbook. Should I have somethng in the login password section when setting it up?I didn't have to do that with the powerbook, but that did disconnect after 10 minutes of inactivity. Love the n800 so far, don't have to carry the powerbook everywhere now. Thanks in advance for any responces.
