PDANet not working - Motorola Q Forum

herskovitz · 10-06-2006, 10:10 AM

I have a new firmware Q that I want to tether to my Macbook via Bluetooth.

I installed the trial version of PDANet, but when I launch it on the Q, it runs but the 'Enable Bluetooth DUN (Com 7)' is grayed out and it say underneath '(Bluetooth DUN not supported)'.

I thought the bluetooth support is what PDANet would add to the phone.
Any ideas?

Thanks,

Brian

The Bluetooth did not work when I demoed PDAnet also. The idea is to use your Q as a modem. Which PDANet does. The update to the OS on the Q does the same thing through a feature that was turned on.

I've been using my Q with my MacBook for a while now without any problems. I paid the $15 a month for the EVDO service to Verzion, but aside from that it was simple to setup and I don't need PDAnet to connect.

Here's a screen shot I made right after I connected for the first time using my MacBook.
