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?

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 11 Replies View RelatedIt's installed as a mobile broadband connection. Only works if my phone is plugged in during boot, otherwise plugging in my phone does nothing. For example, I booted my netbook earlier today but my phone wasn't plugged in. Tethering did not work, it just acts as if it isn't present. I rebooted (with my phone still attached) and now tethering magically works.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a 9.10 installed on my USB stick drive and I am trying to get my iPhone to tether with bluetooth. I followed a guide, (installed blueman, connected to phone, enabled tethering, set to trust device and provide network access). The computer connects to the network and says it is successful, and the iPhone has the blue flashing banner saying it is now tethering, but firefox doesn't connect to the internet.
Is there a way to force it to use the new tethered connection?
ya wondering how would I go about this. my phone can do it but nokia says i need to have Nokia pc suite.exe to work.
View 9 Replies View RelatedThis is on Lucid, using a Dell Mini. I installed the required packages for a USB tether to my iPhone. Network Manager recognized it immediately as wwan0, but it doesn't connect. Also, it never asks me for the password to connect to the Personal Hotspot (as it does when I can connect from Windows).

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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to configure my android phone (rooted Eris running kaossfroyo 2.2) to be used as a midi controller. Which I am having enough trouble with as it is but it has raised an annoying issue that occurred a month ago when I used the phones tethering network with my laptop. After connecting the laptop to the phones network (either tether, or an Ad-hoc network created using the network manager) I am unable to switch to other networks. In other words when I'm done with the phone-laptop connection I cannot connect my laptop to my home network! When I click on the other network connection I can see that it is attempting to connect in the upper right corner of the desktop (the network icon) but it will not make the connection.
What happens is that the network indicator will make the little circle graphic as if it is trying to connect but it never will display the other circle as green indicating that it has connected. but when I disconnect from the home network that is not connecting I will get a message underneath that will say that ad-hoc network disconnected! If I am switching from the android tether it will say Android-Tether disconnected etc. Even though when I click on network manager it shows that I am attempting to connect to the home network (labeled LIBERTY in my case) upon disconnection it shows the ad-hoc or tether connection being disconnected.
I am absolutely baffled by this! The issue persists even after deleting the ad-hoc connection from the wireless settings tab!!! I would speculate that for some reason the laptop is attempting to connect to the previous ad-hoc connection despite me wanting it to connect to LIBERTY. I am very confused and hope someone can lead me in the right direction.
I have a mobile phone (T68i) attached to my server and everything works fine. But sometimes the phone craches and needs to be rebooted wich is quite annoying.So I want to use a newer phone that is not 10+ years old :-)But when using a K610i or C702 the phone does not appear on /dev/ttyUSB0 as expected.When inserting the usb cable a dmesg gives this:
Code:
[5924924.451033] usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 19
[5924924.576728] usb 1-3: New USB device found, idVendor=0fce, idProduct=d0d9

When I first got my BlackBerry, USCellular said I couldn't tether with Linux. That's not so, all you need is BlueTooth (USB adapter, built in, whatever)
You just install Blueman
Code:
sudo apt-get install blueman
Search for your BlackBerry, Pair it to your computer, then go to Devices > Serial ports > Dial Up Networking.
Your wireless connection should be in Network Manager. NOTE: You may have to right-click on NM and setup Numbers, Passwords, Usernames. I did.
I have upgraded to 10.10 and have lost all ability to tether my iPhone via USB or Bluetooth on my Gateway LT24 series Netbook. I'm using an ASUS Bluetooth USB dongle. Here is the output I get to see the status of my connection:

In Blueman, I have my Bluetooth setup as a Network Access Point, dnsmasq enabled. PAN and DUN support are set to NetworkManager. I cannot change these to Blueman (not sure if I should be able to).
I really need my tethering feature to work. Or, should I revert back to 10.04.
I am running K/Ubuntu 9.10 with an HTC Hero (CDMA) running Android 1.6.
I would like to be able to stream media from my PC to my phone. Much like what gMote does but you can play it on your phone and not just navigate.
Also, does anyone know a good way to upgrade my HTC Hero (CDMA) to 2.1?
first thing first - started using Linux for the first time yesterday (LONG time windows person) and I'm enjoying it very well, so if I do manage to get any help can it be in noob-language? and when i say that I mean absolutely dumbed down as mch as possible.
I just now figured out how to get terminal open.
now my current internet situation is very weird, my only choice at the moment is to connect my windows 7 laptop to my 10.04 Ubuntu desktop via ethernet cord. Before when i had both win7 on both machines it worked out perfectly with ICS and had no problems, but now with linux it doesnt work at all.

View 2 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?

What 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
I have a Nokia phone i want to connect it to internet through my PC.
how to do that ?
I have an iphone, I am trying to get internet connectivity to that phone through wifi. I dont have a wifi router. But i do have a laptop with wifi card. I am connecting to internet via cable modem. In win7 I used to create an accesspoint and do the ics from ethernet card to share via wifi card. It used to work perfectly.
Now as I am sing ubuntu, i want to do the same. I have intalled firestarter, and shared the internet connection through wifi card(wlan0).After this I created an accesspoint using the gnome network applet. Now i can connect my ifone to ths accesspoint. But there is no internet connectivity in my fone.
I heard it possible to make a call from a pstn phone through the internet to a pstn phone elsewhere in the world.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a Samsung phone (S3310) and I'm trying use it as a modem to access the net on 10.04. I set up a Mobile broadband connection (under network connections) and I'm pretty sure the settings are correct because it works on a Nokia phone with the same service provider.
When I plug in my Data Cable and set it to Samsung PC Studio mode, my phone isn't detected as a modem. I just tried wvdialconf and it says "No modem detected". I'm guessing that maybe I'm missing some drivers here. what I can do get the phone detected as a modem.

I can pair my phone and laptop using bluetooth, from Network manager I can select my phone and make a connection. But then I can't access anything.I looked at the connection info from nm and tried to ping the given dns addresses. That failed. And I pinged those addresses when I reconnected with wireless and it failed. So, where are these setup? I didn't do it
