Ubuntu :: Syncing The Droid Using Bluetooth?
Jan 2, 2010
I can sync my Motorola Droid using the USB cable without any problems but I don't always have the USB cable with me and I haven't been able to sync my Droid using bluetooth. My laptop can see the Droid and the Droid can see my computer but it says on my Droid "Paired but not connected". All I want to do is send files back and forth (tethering would be nice but I don't really need to be able to do that).
I can now (I'm really not sure why) send files from my laptop running Ubuntu 9.10 to my Droid but I can't send files from my Droid to my Laptop. Also when I try to "Browse file on device" I don't see any devices even when I select phone as device type.

I recently found how to ssh into my ubuntu system with my droid, but I can't seemed to do it the other way around, even if my droid is running off my wireless with the same ip (maybe that's the problem?).

I've tried what seems to be the best music software. Banshee and Amarok seem to be the most popular and I can't get either to sync. Banshee doesn't do it properly, it "syncs" but roughly 1/3 of the songs don't show up. I believe this to be due to the Amazonmp3 folder which I did move everything out of. Next I tried Amarok. I guess it's a bad case of user error because I can't even figure out how to sync it at all. All I know of right now is to manually create the m3u file in gedit. 11.4 btw and it's a droidX

I'm new to android app development (but not to java) and I want to transfer apps I create on ubuntu to my HTC Incredible mobile phone. My computer's a desktop, so I don't have anything fancy like a bluetooth (unless you recommend I buy a USB one for this). What is the best way to transfer apps to my droid?
I tried using USB, but for some reason neither Ubuntu nor my droid sees the other. It doesn't even charge when I connect it via USB.

i have a bluetooth modem (BlueSMiRF) that is connected to Arduino Duemilanove. I am trying to see serial communication messages from the bluetooth modem.
I have Blueman Device Manager that enabled SPP (Serial Port) and it says :
Code:
Serial port connected to /dev/rfcomm0
How do I see the serial communication on this?
I tried on console
Code:
$rfcomm listen 0
but it's stuck at
Code:
Waiting for connection on Channel 1
Is there any other way to listen (and also send) to serial comm msgs on bluetooth?

I have an SSH server running on my netbook on port 2222 and a VNC server running on 5901. The router only has port 2222 open to the laptop.
I use Connectbot on the Droid to connect t my Ubuntu via 2222 with a local port forward enabled 5901 to 192.168.1.111 (laptop IP) port 5901.
Once the conenction is established, I use VNC viewer on the Droid and have it go to 127.0.0.1 port 5901 (to be forwarded by Connectbot over the SSH pipe).
I want to take it a step further. I want to administer my DGL-4500 router without having to remote control the laptop and open firefox. My router doesn't allow SSH.
An obvious solution (in my small mind) would be to install a simple web server process on say port 8080 and do a port forward on the phone to 8080. Then whenever that port is hit, I would want some process that would take the request and pop that person over to 192.168.1.1...
Any ideas on how I could do this OR a better idea on how to do it better without opening the router to the outside world?
I am theorizing I could do a VPN server instead and then find a VPN app. With a VPN, I am theorizing once again I owuld assume an IP address in my home network and then just type 192.168.1.1 on my phone and connect in that way?

I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10. I wanted to setup my droid incredible as a modem to connect via the builtin broadband connection under network manager. I searched around and found couple of ways using wvdial as well as a tunneling app. The funny thing is, that I was able to setup my phone as a usbserial device and use it ONCE to connect successfully via the built-in broadband connection setup method. But ever since, it has not worked . Currently I am running a fresh install of 10.10, and have tried to insert usbserial module for my phone in the kernel, but it does not work. The command I used :
Code:
sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x00b4 product=0x0ffb I have not made this change permanent though. But whenever I run this and connect my phone with broadband connect enabled, it recognizes my phone however it uses a 'generic' driver according to the logs, and it never lets me enable Broadband Connection or connect successfully.

Linux for starters, have used this link to help set up the phones tethering using wired cable the computer is old with no wireless and it is integrated into the motherboard so dont flame about spending 20 bucks on a wireless card please. Now, we can start tunneling betwwen your computer and your phone. Change directory to the tools subdirectory of the extracted Android SDK directory. Issue the command ./adb forward tcp:8080 tcp:8080... everything went smooth until here ... there doesnt appear to be a filenamed ./adb so i cant move on and dont know where to go from here.
it is worth noting i am a noob to android sdk and i think i need to set somemore up to get it to work right you download a starter package and the rest you reach out and grab with the starter package although i dont know where tostart there either.

World of Warcraft requires that TCP Ports 1119, 1120 and 3724 are forwarded. The Blizzard Downloader requires that TCP ports 3724, 1119, 4000, 6112, 6113 and 6114 are forwarded. It can also benefit from having ports 6881 through 6999 forwarded. The World of Warcraft Voice Chat feature uses UDP Port 3724.
i use the hotspot feature to play warcraft and i am running ubuntu 10.10 ... i need to forward these ports ... any way to easily download an app to configure the phone like you would a router? its probably easy i just cant find it.

Sony Vaio X upgraded to 11.04 with 2.6.38-8-generic i686 which improved some features but which introduced a serious WiFi problem: while other WiFi works well, connecting via my Droid hotpsot fails consistently despite reboots of everything and renaming of SSID. Another laptop running 10.04 still works fine with the Droid hotspot. One hint: upon upgrading, there was the warning that the laptop hardware did not support Unity and I always get the classic Gnome display.The Droid hotspot shows up in the list of SSIDs but attempts to connect always fail, even when it is made totally unsecured.
Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter
Qualcom Sony Gobi 2000 Wireless Modem
ifconfig shows no packets with wlan0 or any connectivity.
iwconfig shows correct SSID and other info.

The bluetooth manager does not detect a bluetooth dongle .trying to use ndiswrapper to fix.I installed device manager and the results are shown below.i downloaded the windows driver suite. It has 4 .exe self extracting driver archives and a setupconfig.ini. The .ini file is below.I was able to extract one of the 32bit archives on a windows machine and it had about 8 .inf files that are titled weird and would not install properly using ndiswrapper probably because im using the 64-bit architecture. there are 2 64bit .exe's in the driver download, but how can i extract them in ubuntu and do i really need to install all 8 .inf files. also do i actually need to make a .inf file? if so how?

I'm using Rhythmbox to manage my music collection. I have ripped my CDs into FLAC files. I'm using the Motorola Milestone (The Droid) as my music player and syncing it using Rhythmbox.
Now, when I transfer my music files from Rhythmbox to the Milestone, it automatically convert the FLAC files to MP3. But the conversion is set to 128Kps.
How do I change this default conversion rate? Or even, how do I change to another conversion format altogether?

I was trying to install the android sdk so I can write some apps and play around on a new droid phone i hope to get tomorrow. I had 64bit FC11 installed but the android stuff is only 32bit. I needed to install a bunch of the 32bit libs to get this to work. I installed FC11 64 bit. This cuased problems because the android stuff is 32bit. I couldn't get it to launch so I had to install the 32 bit libraries as well. A lot of the libraries could be removed but I think they will be helpful and useful in other stuff as well.
After installing these just follow the normal android install. I had another problem with the android install because the Ganymede Update Site was not checked so it wouldn't download the updates for the eclipse software. In the Software Updates and Addons window click Manage Sites, check Ganymede Update Site. Here is the link if you have to add it.[URL]..# instruction to get 32 bit android stuff in 64 bit FC11 Add an "rpm" Macro. You'll need this later or it will be hard to tell your rpm versions apart.
Add the following line to the "/etc/rpm/macros" file:
%_query_all_fmt %%{name}-%%{version}-%%{release}.%%{arch}
Code:
[stoggy@localhost][~]
[10:13 AM]$: echo "%_query_all_fmt %%{name}-%%{version}-%%{release}.%%{arch}" | sudo tee -a /etc/rpm/macros
%_query_all_fmt %%{name}-%%{version}-%%{release}.%%{arch}

I have the latest version of Ubuntu, but I still can't update the music on my ipod with rhythm box.So here is the deal. I put a handful of songs on my ipod using my windows computer at my parents house. Now, when I plug my iphone into my computer, the device shows up, and I am able to add and delete songs in rhythm box. The computer says it's working, and the ipod says its syncing, but once its done syncing, none of the old songs are deleted, and none of the new songs are added. Also, the old songs can't be played anymore. I've looked all around for a solution to this problem but no one can help.

I have two computers. One has UNR installed and the other Karmic. I back up my home folder from Karmic monthly. Is there any reason why I could not just copy the home folder from Karmic over the UNR home folder to synchronize my computers? I wasn't sure if UNR might not like this idea...

Being tired of my FAT32 partitions on my 80GB Classic, I had it reformatted on a Macintosh to HFS+ (Mac-formatted) at the Apple Store. As per the abundance of threads online, I also had them disable journaling through the Mac's Disk Utility and it appeared it was ready for Ubuntu. I added the UUID to fstab to allow write privileges. Due to the issues I heard with getting it to mount in Banshee on 64-bit Karmic Koala, I used the killall -9 nautilus command and successfully got Banshee to read and mount the iPod. After syncing my iPod, I verified that the content successfully transferred as the disk was now showing a large portion of the drive in use (presumably from the new media). After disconnecting my iPod, from both Banshee and from Nautilus, the iPod presumably safely unmounts and disconnects giving me the okay to unplug it. Whether I unplug it or not, after the OK to Disconnect progress bar completes, the iPod freezes (showing the silver Apple logo). After a while, it seems to turn itself back on, but doesn't show any media on the device. In fact, when I select 'About', it shows 0GB used and 0GB free (strange!).
I've been to the Apple Store about three times to have them reformat it and start over as I keep thinking I'm doing something wrong along the way. The data seems to be ON the iPod as I can play it back through Banshee (and on GTKpod), but the iPod menu itself doesn't seem to recognize anything and I can't access the music through the iPod. I think the iPod database may be corrupted, but I don't understand why this is not corrected with a full restore and why I seem to be able to access the music through Ubuntu.
(P.s. I do NOT want to have to go back to a Windows-formatted, FAT32, iPod.)
(P.p.s. I changed the permissions to my user rather than the 99 or something it was before. Also, whenever I load the iPod in Banshee, it shows all the songs on the iPod.)
