bluetooth tether ipad

[Guest SSMERK]

hey guys just wanted to give you guys the heads up , i was playing around with my ipad and my dell streak and was able to tether the dell streak to my jail-broken ipad.

my jail-broken ipad has an app called iBluever its like a 5 dollar app but this app lets me tether my all the blackberry devices i own.

i installed on mu dell streak an app called pdanet 2.45 its free . once installed turn it on

go to the ipad and in the app ibluever turn it on you will see your dell streak once you are there click on the blue arrow on the right side of it and it should take you to an area where you have to enter the apn setting for your cell provider. example

ATT apn setting i entered

access point : wap.cingular

dial number: *99#

account: [email protected]

password: CINGULAR1

chat script "select default empty "

then on the ipad click on the arrow ibluever to go back to the previous window and tap dell streak and it should connect.

allot of you might say well my phone has WiFi tethering true but that really kills the battery and i have found that the connection is really not that fast and i have downloading speed at 200kB i am getting 150kB via Bluetooth so i am really happy

Just to confirm, SSMERK..

You have a phone contract on the Streak and you're using it as the 3G Modem for the iPad, correct?

Any reason to use bluetooth as opposed to the built-in WiFi hotspot?

Any reason to use bluetooth as opposed to the built-in WiFi hotspot?

Several reasons make Bluetooth the "better" technology for tethering. They are:

1. Less battery drain.

2. No extra (in the U.S., cell phone carriers actually charge for the WiFi hotspot app on Android) charge.

But what SSMERK has done is rather ordinary on the Streak end of things. No offense, SSMERK.

You can put PDANet on an Android device without rooting it. It will take the 3G connectivity and convert it into Bluetooth Dial Up Networking. That's

what PDANet's explicitly written to do.

The iBluever solution on iOS devices is more advanced/documented than similar solutions for Android. I'm looking for an iBluever-like program to put on my Streak. Then I can tether the Streak to my non-smart phone (where I pay for a modest data plan).

I don't care if I have to root my Streak. But I want a Reverse BT-DUN connection (where the Streak receives Internet connectivity over Bluetooth).

Anyone know where I can find that?

its all good none taken . i just wanted to have it out there so if anyone ever was thinking about it that it can be done . i do find the bluetooth conection to be less lag then the wifi for some reason when streaming data

I've been looking for the reverse BT DUN for a while. I've been able to get most of the configuration correct but pand gives me problems and will not create a device in /dev (I think hci0) in order to complete the process...

so are you trying to use the internet from another phone on the dell streak via blue tooth
