Bluetooth and Internet Sharing not working?

[uowieczka]

Hi,
I've found some kind of issue with Bluetooth and Internet Sharing.
Bluetooth starts and finds other devices as well as other devices find my phone. But whenever try to connect my phone says: device not supported. I've tried connect with Htc cha cha, Samsung galaxy s2 and Sony Ericsson xperia. Everytime the same, my phone after provided pin number says: not supported.
The other issue is with Internet Sharing. When I try to connect to shared connection everything looks ok. But then I get a message on my laptop: no internet access. When I click troubleshooting it says device (my phone) is blocking internet access.
I don't really know where is an issue. There is no any settings on my phone I could change about the issues.
Has anyone got similar problems?

No,it is not caused by the phone this a feature of windows phone 7. Bluetooth can be used for the handsfree only.

Anyone else unlock a USA ATT Wireless HTC Titan for use on T Mobile USA? Works fine, on Edge, but when I try to turn on Internet Sharing, it says, Contact ATT Customer Service or call 611. Ay ideas on how to fix this?

internet sharing

i might have had the same problem; it would'nt allow me to 'internet sharing' with the data plan i had (i had the middle plan; $25 month), i had to call ATT and upgrade my data plan to the $45 plan. Needless to say i was pissed, i really cant afford the more expensive data plan. i am now looking for a hack to do this from the middle data plan. what makes me even more mad is that i was able to do the internet sharing with my old phone, the ATT Tilt 2, with the middle data plan. again, i'm looking for a hack to solve this problem.

At the moment, there is no hack for Windows Phone 7. You are not officially able to tether with any phone on AT&T without a tethering plan. So this is nothing new.

I just upgraded from a Samsung Focus to the HTC Titan.

They are both WP7 platform on the ATT network. My Samsung allowed me to share my iNet connection from the settings menu without needing to call ATT or change my $30 unlimited data plan.

I just called to "activate" the feature on my Titan and was told it cannot be done without upgrading my data plan to include tethering.

I wonder if this is specific to each phone developer based on their contract with ATT.

If so, the "Focus S" may operate the same as the Focus and is their counterpart to the Titan.

I like the Titan, but the original Focus had the following Mango Updates:
- "high Fidelity position": improvements to GPS data for better accuracy
- "call blocking": blocking specific callers in ROM not by adding software
- "internet sharing": no ATT activation required

I would love to know if the Focus S does or does not require an ATT activation phone call.

Thanks
