Using the Samsung Blackjack as a modem over Bluetooth
The online documentation for the phone makes it seem like using the 3G phone as a wirelessly tethered modem is impossible. However, a quick search of the web found the following directions, which I have re-organized for easier consumption.
Here are the directions I followed to get it working: (adapted from http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1096867)
*** One time setup ***
- Hook the Blackjack to your PC using the USB cable.
- Open ActiveSync and browse the phones files.
- Make sure that in your folder options on the PC that you have it set to "show hidden folders".
- Go to My windows mobile-based device>windows...the windows folder takes a few seconds to open, scroll about halfway down until you see IntShrUI,
- right click and create a new shortcut (there is some form of security on existing shortcuts)...it should place this at the bottom of the page...find it and cut it (right click>cut)..
- also in the windows folder is a start menu folder, open that and paste your new shortcut inside the start menu.
- Rename the shortcut to Internet Connection Sharing and go find it in the start menu of your phone.
*** every time ***
- Turn on Bluetooth (FN+B), go to wireless manager to verify that you are indeed visible,
- open the internet sharing program on your Blackjack, change the "pc connection" to "Bluetooth PAN", then hit the connect softkey on your Blackjack,
- it should say "device setup finished, on the PC, connect Bluetooth PAN", now just hit connect on your PC, and it should work.
- Go to your network connections on the PC and verify that you are connected to the internet using Bluetooth.
- *note - you have to hit connect on the phone before connecting on the computer, or it will always say "connection denied".
