Fedora Networking :: Tether With Android Cell Phone To 13 To Use As A Router / Modem
Aug 24, 2010
im trying to be able to tether my android cell phone to my fedora 13 to use as a router/modem i have gotten it to work on a friends Ubuntu OS i used the app easy-tether but it will work not on fedora
if anyone here could recommend a cellphone. My main requirement is that it should tether as a 3.5g modem via USB to a PC running Fedora 13. I have previously used a Nokia to good effect, but their standpoint on privacy is making me look for a different brand.
i have three type of linux distributions installed on vmware- centos 5.5 , rhel5, fedora14.i have installed centos 5.5 on a seprate hard disk.i want to use internet on linux using my nokia 2630 cell phone.how to connect my phone through bluetooth to use internet?
What do I need to tether my phone with Ubuntu? I've tried using Berry4All but there's no conf file for my carrier, and I don't know how to create one.I have my carrier's APN and the number to dial, other than that do I need any extra info? Is there another software that I can use to tether my BB?
i want to remote control my laptop with my phone via terminal
im trying to use this guide to connect my android phone to my fedora laptop via ssh and vnc, but the connectbot ssh connection is timed out
[URL]
however, this guide assumes a running ssh and vnc server, which isn't trivial to me, i think i have established these, but i don't know how to test it
also i am not shure if my router and firewall configuration is correct, i disabled wan blocking but didn't enable remote config management on my rooter, is that correct?
just finished installing Ubuntu to my dell mini 10v netbook. I really like it so far but I have hit a problem that may be a potential deal breaker. I have a CDMA HTC Hero phone that I have rooted. I installed the "wireless tether for root users" app on my phone and use it ALL the time to go online on my netbook through my phone on windows. However Ubuntu 9.10 does not seem to connect to my phone running this app. It sees the SSID, and i tell it to connect, and then I just get that circle thing for a couple of minutes then it gives up and connects to my main router if its in range.
if anyone knows of a way to be able to console in to a cell phone? I'm guessing it may be different from one cell phone to the next, but I want to console into my phone, and ftp, or tftp a copy of the OS onto my computer, and try to maybe use gedit or nano to look at the code, and play around with it. I'd like to see where the e911 code is, and create some kind of script that would alert me whenever that gps feature that is available to the cellular providers and the government.
since Americans are required to have a cell phone that is GPS capable, I would like to know if that ever gets activated. Additionally, I would also like to write scripts that would alert me if my microphone is activated.Maybe this is only possible on Droid phones since they are Unix based? Either way, you can readily buy usb cables to connect your phone to your pc to transfer pics, videos, etc. Maybe there is a way to run nmap on that cable connection to find a way to hack in?
I want connect to Internet via my phone ( Motorola A1200 ) I can connect currectly in micro$oft windowns 7 but I can not connect in my linux via wvdial.
Code: rfcomm release 0 CHANNEL = `sdptool search --bdaddr=00:21:FE:A5:C9:4A dun | grep Channel | cut -c14` rfcomm bind 0 00:21:FE:A5:C9:4A ${CHANNEL} wvdial e71bt And my /etc/wvdial.conf is configured for AT&T connection here in the US.
Question is, is there anyway I can integrate it with NetworkManager, instead of having to run this script?
There's a "Broadband" option on NetworkManager, but I am not able to get it to recognize my cell phone as a modem. The bluetooth applet only allows for file transfer
I access the Internet exclusively through my Verizon-branded HTC Incredible cell phone using my Dell Latitude D800 notebook. I have a Samsung 2152-w wireless laser printer that works well through USB and works well through a wireless router.
My question is: since I use my cell as a wireless hot-spot for my notebook, is there any way to use the wireless capability of my printer? I don't know of any way to configure this, and Google hasn't been of help yet. If possible, I would like to avoid using the wireless router; I used it when I had a wired network for my old desktop.
I use fedora12-Gnome as my major desktop OS. Every basic need was fulfilled , until I tried Fedora12 KDE and now Fedora13 KDE. The problem is with Bluetooth connectivity to my cell phone device. It connects to the cell phone and set trusted but I can't seem to see any option of "Browse files on Device". Does that mean in KDE I actually can not browse my Bluetooth connected devices?
I am currently trying to get my server box to recognize my Samsung epic 4g (sprint) which is rooted and has usb tether enabled. It works perfectly and effortlessly on my ubuntu desktop box, but I hook it up to my server box and ifconfig does not find a usb0 device like my desktop does. I am running 10.4.1 on both desk and server box.
i am trying too setup this thing too work an just havnt been able too do it. I followed the thread about the 600 serieries of modems but the flip/flop thing is only for a 600 cricket modem an when i go too follow the rest of the post it says no file exists. Is there another post on this brand of cell modem i am missing.
ATM i am using a duel boot of xp an ubuntu 10.04 wich was a complete fresh install.
I like playing around in linux. I have Windows 7 Home Premium which does not have Remote access.I want to be able to control my computer from my android phone. Which verison would be best. I was going to try out Linux Mint 9.
I thought this will be as simple as in Windows 7 (connectify+virtual router). But it's not. So far I've managed to install a driver for an usb wifi dongle and now Ubuntu sees it
Code: $ iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. wlan0 unassociated Nickname:"<WIFI@REALTEK>"
[Code].....
Could it be that the wifi interface is down or something?
PS. when I left click on network manger, I see that under wireless networks it's written "disconnected".
I'm trying to get my android 2.3 phone to connect to my vpn server and I followed this guide [URL]... but it isn't working. I've tried compiling both xl2tpd and openswan myself but it resulted with the same error I can connect to my vpn from windows 7 but when I try to connect with my phone I get this in the log file (jumped to the interesting part & highlighted the line that's bothering me most)
Code: May 19 19:06:44 ubuntu pppd[12718]: found interface eth0 for proxy arp May 19 19:06:44 ubuntu pppd[12718]: local IP address 192.168.0.196 May 19 19:06:44 ubuntu pppd[12718]: remote IP address 192.168.0.200 May 19 19:06:44 ubuntu pppd[12718]: Script /etc/ppp/ip-up started (pid 12721)
I have just bought a HTC Desire Z mobile phone, running Android 2.2.
It has a feature to allow, via the USB cable, use of the Internet connection on a PC so that the phone can connect via that, rather than use the 3G or wi fi when those are not available or not wanting to use them. I want to download lots of applications without draining my 3G data allowance.
I have searched via Google, and some people have said that it just worked for them. They plugged in the phone to their Ubuntu PC and they could use the Internet on the phone.
But I cannot get it to work. I am new to Android, and still figuring out the phone. In the Settings/Wireless & Networks, there is an option for Internet Pass-through, which is trying to connect but never does. Then it comes up with a message saying: "Unable to connect to PC" and asks me to install HTC Sync software (which is Windows only).
Is there something I need to install in Ubuntu to get it to work?
i just tried using my Nokia 2700 classic's internet on my Lynx.it got connected to the network when i ticked the option access internet via the phone in bluetooth setup.But i am unable to surf the net...I am still connected to my college's wifi network which uses a http proxy.I tried using no proxy in mozilla when i was connected to both the networks;but then also nothhing was working;whereas my cell showed the sign of GPRS..
I am trying to connect my cell phone through a Bluetooth dongle in Ubuntu 8.10 but when I try setting up a new device my cell phone is not seen. I tried reading some guides, I installed everything needed but still it doesn't work, some files are even missing (probably because they guides are for older versions of Ubuntu but i can't find a new guide on it) like.
I tried the following commands: jessica@jessica-desktop:~$ sudo hcitool scanScanning ... 00:16:75:15:14:81 Hill Billy jessica@jessica-desktop:~$ sudo hidd --connect 00:16:75:15:14:81 Can't get device information: Success jessica@jessica-desktop:~$
I guess they work but how come my device is still not seen in the Bluetooth applet? How can I send files? Why can't I connect to the computer using my phone? I don't want to depend on windows for this too.
My phone is dead or dying so now is a good time to look for a FOSS replacement for Nokia PC Suite and Outlook -- the only reason I run Windows.
Is there any solution (or combination of solutions) that supports synchronising personal information manager (PIM) data -- most importantly names and phone numbers, calendar/schedule and notes -- with any model of cell phone?
EDIT:
SyncEvolution looks promising and there are reports of it working at least adequately with several phones including the interesting for Linux people Nokia N900 but OS-wise it only claims compatibility with ubuntus and debian 4.0, not beloved Slackware; maybe that's more because of what people have tried than because it doesn't work. As the name suggests it works only with Evolution, perhaps not the first choice of email client and PIM.
I'm using my phone with TrekBuddy to contribute to Open Street Map and find it a bit awkward to bluetooth or removing the memory card from the phone to use USB directly. So I've been struggling some time to solve this issue, without any luck.Contents from my TrekBuddy directory on the memorycard on phone:Quote:

Most cellphones can play music. How does one sync Ubuntu One w. the music player in the cellphone. Alternatively how to download music from Ubuntu One to a cellphone? Access to the web/internet is assumed in this case.
I have a large collection of cell phone videos comprised of ".mov" and ".avi" file formats and I would like to stitch them all together to form a single video. I will then export them to a DVD format but the main goal for now is to get them stitched together.My tools are:(1) Kino(2) Cinelerra(3) AvidemuxMy skills are:(1) Pretty good(2) Not so good(3) None existentDoes anyone have some good suggestions on how to accomplish this?
This is the first time I have used any forum. Please forgive me if I fail to do this the right way.
My question is... can I download pictures from my Samsung cell phone to my pc under Ubuntu since Samsung doesn't support drivers for their phone any longer
Is there an application or script file that I can use to send a message to my cel phone every day at the same time with cron? I have medications I need to take and sometime do not realize I've missed the timing until 4-5 hours later.
