I have a Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 and I would like to browse the web over a bluetooth connection to my computer. I can connect to the computer but the browser doesn't have internet connectivity even though the computer does. Also, the Bluetooth standards indicate that this is supported.  Anyone ever have this issue?

I have two Android smartphones that can provide their internet connection to a computer over USB via the RNDIS (Remote Network Device Interface Specification) protocol. I also have two computers dual-booting Windows 7 Ultimate and some flavor of Linux (one of them has Fedora 17, the other has Ubuntu 12.04).  When I connect either smartphone to either computer and the computer is running Windows, I have to wait about 90 seconds before I can use my internet connection after enabling tethering from the phone.  When I connect either smartphone to either computer and the computer is running Linux, I have to wait about 2.5 seconds before I can use my Internet connection.  My question is, why is there such a ridiculously long delay on Windows?  On Windows, it says "Identifying..." on the adapter for about 60 seconds, then says "Limited Or No Access", then if I keep refreshing my browser, EVENTUALLY it will let me browse. After that it's OK.  On Linux, it connects instantly, just like plugging in an ethernet cable. Boom, done.  I don't think it's hardware related because I have two phones from different manufacturers (Motorola and HTC) running two different versions of Android (2.3.6 and 4.0.4). On the computer side, I have a Lenovo ThinkPad T530 and a hand-made desktop. I've actually tried it on two separate hand-built desktops; one a Nehalem system and one Ivy Bridge. As far as I can tell, they have absolutely nothing to do with one another.  Things I've tried to improve the performance on Windows:   CLEAN install of Windows. Absolutely nothing except base drivers, SP1 and critical updates. No VPN software, no security software, no virtualization software, no custom netfilt drivers whatsoever except those drivers absolutely required to tether to the phone. Unchecking all but TCP/IPv4 in the network connection properties (so unchecking QoS, Client for Microsoft Networks, Link-Layer Topology, etc. Setting static IP and static DNS servers.   None of this helps at all. I simply cannot navigate anywhere on the computer until about 90 seconds after enabling tethering on the phone, and the problem ONLY occurs on Windows. On Linux it's fine.  Pretty stumped about this. For what it's worth my RNDIS driver is version 6.1.7600.16385 and the name is "Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device" followed usually by a number like #2, #9, etc. I'm using a genuine copy of Windows in all cases and I've tried both an OEM buildout of Windows from Lenovo (on the ThinkPad) as well as a clean Microsoft install from the retail CD on my desktops.

I've checked the webpages of some their providers, but franly, just like in the case of those in my own language, I literally cannot find my way around them. So if you wouldn't mind sharing a word of two or advice.  I'm looking for a good solution for mobile internet surfing in northern Italy, that can be connected to a laptop (you know, that usb stick with a SIM card inside kind of thing). 15 Gb or so at some decent speed. Can you perhaps give a recommendation or two of what to get?    Edit: Just to define what I'm looking for exactly. A data plan of 15 Gb with an internet key (usb stick into which a SMS card goes) that you plug into a laptop. Preferably non-contractual, so I can cancel when I leave. I am not interested in surfing on my mobile phone since due to size I still prefer the smaller Nokia-like models for calls (smaller to carry) - no internet on them.

Me and my sibling want to play Minecraft together. Is there a way to use Bluetooth instead of WiFi to get connected? If so, how? We have MCPE version 15.0.

I lost my USB bluetooth dongle (from HP) which I used for a wireless keyboard and mouse. They came together in a set when I bought my last HP computer.  Are the keyboard and mouse useless now? or will any bluetooth dongle allow them to work? If I can just buy a new one - any recommendations on a replacement (good price, and perhaps works with Windows and Ubuntu out-of-the-box?   Forgive me if this is an easy question. I'm just not that familiar with wireless mice/keyboards.

I have Ubuntu 12.04 on a HP 430 notebook and this has a single wired internet connection and I would like to share this with a LG Optimus One with Android 2.3.3. I followed  instructions and created a hotspot as shown below, but UbuntuHost is not visible on the LG Optimus One when I enable the Wifi on it.  To summarize, I want my Laptop with an internet connection to act as a WiFi router and access the internet from other devices (LG Optimus One with Android in this case).  What additional steps have to be done?

I'm using OSX 10.9. I'm trying to set up Internet Sharing to connect my Android to my Mac directly over Wi-Fi. Every tutorial I've come across (including ) mentions checking a box for "AirPort" in a "To computers using" list. However, the option is simply not available on my machine:    I have a few related questions:   Why isn't the AirPort option available? Is there anything I can do to make it available? If there isn't, how can I work around it to finish setting up Internet Sharing so I can connect my Android and my Mac directly over Wi-Fi?

I've been trying to pair up my bluetooth keyboard with my computer after reinstalling from a standard ubuntu 12.04 to a minimal install.  In the minimal install I have no gui, so I've been trying to use the various command line tools available, but I can't figure out how the pairing is supposed to go. Pairing when I had a gui worked flawlessly.  I've asked for help here:   No one has replied but a lot of details of my situation is available there.  How is one supposed to pair bluetooth devices from the command line?

Mobile network operators (also: telephone companies, telcos, providers) sometimes offer low cost data packages that are usable only on the phone. Or so, they say.  How can they distinguish between a user browsing the web with a browser on his Android phone and a user using a browser on a laptop tethered to an Android phone?  In early 2012 I was in Paris and I was using an Orange mobile data package with a Nokia E51 (Symbian S60). Indeed, I could only access the Internet using the phone's browser, not from my laptop tethered to the phone. Now, I a have an Android 2.3 phone, and I am thinking about subscribing to a similar data package in Spain (operator Más Móvil).

How can I use the instant messenger program Kik - most commonly installed on smartphones and other mobile devices - on a laptop or desktop running Win7Pro, without a phone being involved and without needing any kind of Google account?  The two ways of using Kik from my laptop that I have so far found are both inadequate, or at least I do not how to tweak them to make them meet the requirements.  The first is to install on my laptop the Bluestacks emulator of Google's Android operating system, and then to run Kik on it. Unfortunately to run Kik on Bluestacks requires (or at least I have not found a way to avoid) having a Google Play account.  The second is to run Bluestacks on Manymo, the online emulator of Google's Android OS. Unfortunately, using Kik on Manymo similarly requires a Google Play account.  I realise Kik was made for use on a mobile OS, but it is supposed to be cross-platform where mobile OSes are concerned, and therefore not to be tied into Google's mobile OS - or, as far as I know, into any other software supplied by Google or any procedure prescribed by that company, such as giving it personal information - so I am optimistic that someone will be able to advise on what I am asking for here.  I notice that Microsoft have made a , so there might be a way to get Kik to work on this without dealing with Google. I couldn't find anything online about this, though.

I want to share the wireless Internet connection on my desktop with my old laptop, through ethernet.  I have ticked the option "Make available to others" on both connections, on my desktop, but my laptop doesn't connect. Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug?
