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
View 11 Repliesif 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.

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.
View 3 Replies View Relatedif 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.
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhat I currently do is run this script -
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
So is there anything out there that will edit the HD 3gp files from my cell phone? Or the HD files from my Nikon camera?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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:

lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
wlan0 unassociated Nickname:"<WIFI@REALTEK>"

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 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 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.

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.
