Tethering with Sprint Treo 700wx Can anyone help?I want to pair this with my Treo 700wx, specifically to use the Treo as my internet connection for when I'm on the road. So far I'm just frustrated. I have enabled Bluetooth on my phone, and made it discoverable. The 770 finds the phone fine, I select it for pairing. The Treo then prompts me to enter the pass code. Once that's done, the 770 first shows the status "Pairing", but then, instead of finishing the connection, gives me the message "Selected phone does not have services that can be used. Select another phone."Can anyone help or point me in the right direction? And yes, my plan includes a data package. Specifically I have unlimited data via "PowerVision" through Sprint.

I have the same problem with a 700w, after some research I found out that verizon and sprint "lock" down the phones so you can only access certain bluetooth profiles. I believe that they won't ever work because the phones do not support ALL bluetooth profiles....good times

Hello, I just replied the following to the previous post: Hope this helps:I think that the problem is with the Sprint phone. There are some bluetooth connections with this phone that don't work. I had a wireless headset that I was pairing, and it would work then stop- continually, so I contacted the headset provider- Plantronics and they said that the Treo 700wx has had problems with many Bluetooth devices, so I tried it on a different bluetooth phone, and it works like a charm, it sucks for the amount that the Treo costs, you would think that IT would be the one that is working. Hope this helps.... Kristin Hello, I just replied the following to the previous post: Hope this helps:I think that the problem is with the Sprint phone.

Ugh, I was afraid it was something like that. Either technical, or just SPRINT disallowing it so people don't abuse it and use it as their main modem. *sigh* Yes, for the price you would DEFINITELY think it would work. I haven't had any more luck, and I pretty much gave up.

Just had live chat with a VerizonWireless rep. My old flip phone bit the dust. I said I was being given a Samsung Convoy and where to activate. (I want a flip phone, don't need all the bells & whistles.) Had no hassles about my decision & got info I needed. Just add to existing contract no prob, supposedly.

It May work with almost any company in the world. Check the Bands to confirm if will work full 3g/4g with your company (some companies use another band and will work only with EDGE data).On the other hand. You can not tether (use your phone as an access point) due to AT&T;'s firmware restrictions. There are several solutions in XDA-Developers but none worked for me. I could only use tethering after changing ROM to Elegancia Rom

I have just spent time with Tmobile trying to get the 1520 set up on Tmobile's system in Michigan. They could not get to work on LTE. They could get it to work on 3G. But I have noticed that in operation it frequently has problems staying that mode. It seems to be missing the jokey band necessary for LTE. Disappointing to be sure but still a great phone/tablet.

What carrier is q-link connected with...if sprint yes but it also has a place for a dim card so it might can be broke for your phone service

Sorry but I'm not using a sim card on my streak 7...only wifi so I don't know.

Skype not FaceTime. Also won't work with Sprint or Verizon as they are CDMA carriers... It has to be a GSM carrier like AT&T or T-Mobile (maybe), depends on T-Mobile's odd data frequencies... You can tether with your existing Sprint phone over WiFi, but this tablet already has a built in phone :-) May as well keep your Sprint phone and tether it with a WiFi-only Galaxy Tab3 or Nexus 7, etc.

I bought mine in Puno, Per and activated it with my brother's Movistar (postpay) account. On returning stateside, I bought a SIM and service from Lycamobile (which partners with AT&T). So far the only thing that has not worked is the barcode reader, because the camera is not auto-focus. But it is slow, especially when wifi is not available; and the number of apps that can be installed is very limited if the SD memory is not upgraded (maximum is 32 gigabytes). I also bought one used (from Amazon) to send to Argentina to an in-law. That one was apparently locked for use in Australia (I did not try to use it in the USA) but I think it has been successfully unlocked. They sell for about $78 from Amazon.

I live in Troy Al and I have 3g here. I love the phone as well. FYI: motorola smartphones will allow you to use the hot spot(tether) feature yet straighttalk does not allow tethering. Straight talk will limit data and slow u down. Once they slow ur data, it is permanent. Hope this helps.

I bought this phone for my mother, unfortunately, we haven't opened the box to it yet to set it up. I called customer care to see if it could tether, the BOOST representative stated only 2 models have the tether function and this phone is not 1 of the 2. However, Google play, as well as the Amazon App Store have applications you may download to turn your phone into a mobile hotspot. With that being said, it may not be able to be used at the time of tethering. I'm not sure you would have to contact the application support that you would like to purchase for download to figure out the quirks of it.

It works but I have issues with tethering. tethering fails with error saying network error. Seems other people face this too. See the discussion thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932538

Depends what tether means to you, but I frequently xfer music from my laptop and send to my phone. I use hot spots all the time with my transform ultra. Boost recently announced they are 's capability down to 2G so I may look for another carrier soon.

I don't believe you can. I've been looking into the same thing and I've found that even if you get Sprint to unlock it (which apparently they will now) Virgin won't necessarily pick it up.

IF you go into settings, scroll down to Connectivity ( it is below your Security Settings). You will find your Bluetooth settings there. This watch phone has worked really for me. The phone and texting both work well, but I have never been able to get the data to work. Beyond that I have had no problems with it. You can also load videos onto this phone if they are in a 3gp format.

I'm using this phone with Straight Talk (on AT&T; network) and the phone functions, but I'm not getting an LTE connection (only HSPA). Working to resolve the issue.

I have the Samsung Galaxy Note2 and I am having the HARDEST time getting it to connect and stay connected. I love Polar (I have my Polar watches and regular transmitters when bluetooth stops working) but there is something going on and Polar WILL NOT address it they have TONS of people on their forum asking for help with this same problem and they have NOT responded with a fix or any type of help other than passing the buck to the app developer (note to self contact Cardio Trainer and ask them to see what the problem is). If I were you Michael do as much research and see if it works with the Android (I assume here that's all I use) app. Now I am partial to Cardio Trainer Pro and its there where its not working for me but it maybe fine in other apps right now in my Cardio Trainer app it says, "Sorry, your phone needs to have Bluetooth and Android version 2.0 or higher to use this feature"....HELLO Samsung Galaxy Note 2 I think I've surpassed that ha ha ha. So it might work perfectly fine with your phone but make sure go to all the forums of the apps you will use with it and their user of the apps and the polar transmitter will tell you if its a success or not.

I've seen postings that it can be "flashed" to Straight Talk, however I think the best thing to do is check with Straight Talk and ask them it is compatible. I got mine for use with Page-Plus and i had to check with them to see if it was compatible and it just happened to be. So again I think the best thing to ST and find out. Apologies for not being more helpful.
