Tethering with PdaNet: An Overview
PdaNet is a free app (available for iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, and other mobile platforms) that you can use to turn your smartphone into a modem for your laptop. Tethering capabilities mean you'll never have to worry about finding a wi-fi hotspot or be in range of a wireless access point -- as long as you have cellular data coverage (3G/4G), you'll be able to work online on your laptop wherever you are.

The screenshots here use the Android version as an example (Android 2.1 and Windows 7). PdaNet's Android version enables tethering via USB cable as well as over Bluetooth DUN (Dial-Up Networking). Although you can use PdaNet for free, the full version ($23.95) allows you to access secure web sites after the trial period ends.

Next: Download and install PdaNet to your computer

Tether Your Android Phone to a Windows or Mac Computer
To use the PdaNet app for tethering your Android phone, you need to install the app on both your Android phone (download it from Android Market) and also install the software on the Windows computer (Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 -- 32-bit and 64-bit versions available) or Mac OS X (10.5+) computer you want to go online from using your cell phone as the modem. 

Step 1: Download the PdaNet Android Windows or Mac installers from makers June Fabrics.
(Alternately, you can download the installation file to your Android phone's SD card, connect your phone via USB and mount the SD card, and run the installation package from there.)

Step 2: Install PdaNet on Your Computer:
Set up on the computer side is pretty straightforward though there are several steps involved. During the installation you'll be prompted to select your cell phone manufacturer and also connect your device via USB (enable USB debugging on your Android phone in Settings > Applications > Development). 

You may be warned by Windows Security that the publisher of the driver software can't be verified, but just ignore that prompt and choose to "Install this driver software anyway."

Step 3: Download PdaNet to Your Android Smartphone
After installing the PdaNet software for your Windows or Mac laptop/computer, you'll need the app on your Android smartphone. Search for "PdaNet" (not case-sensitive, actually) in the Android Market, and install the app (made by June Fabrics Technology Inc.).

Next: Connect Your Android phone via USB or Bluetooth

http://mobileoffice.about.com/od/wifimobileconnectivity/ss/how-to-tether-android-phones-with-pdanet-instructions_4.htm


Step 4: Connect Your Android Phone to Your Computer to Share the Internet Connection
Once the software has been installed on both your Android phone and your laptop, you can share your phone's Internet connection with your computer. 

To connect over USB:
  • Go to the PdaNet app on your smartphone and select "Enable USB Tether," then use the USB cable to connect the device to your laptop.
  • You'll get a pop-up window on the laptop that you can click to connect the phone to PdaNet.
  • You may also or alternately have to click on the PdaNet icon in your taskbar, and select "Connect Internet."
To connect via Bluetooth, the steps are pretty much the same, except you will select "Enable Bluetooth DUN" in the Android app and pair your Android phone with your laptop via Bluetooth rather than via the USB cable.

You should then see the joyful "Connected!" notification on your laptop and be able to surf the Web (albeit [although] not that fast) using your Android's data connection.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Cellphone pioneer Motorola says it's opening a manufacturing facility that will produce the first smartphone ever assembled in the U.S. — its new flagship device, Moto X.

The Texas site was once used by fellow phone manufacturer Nokia, meaning it was designed to produce mobile devices, said Will Moss, a spokesman for Motorola Mobility, which is owned by Google.

"It was a great facility in an ideal location," said Moss, who said it will be an easy trip for Motorola engineering teams based in Chicago and Silicon Valley, and is also close to the company's service and repair operations in Mexico.

The formal announcement came from Motorola CEO Dennis Woodside at AllThingsD's D11 Conference.

The factory will create 2,000 jobs and will be owned and run by Flextronics International Ltd., a Singapore-based contract electronics manufacturer that has had a long relationship with Motorola.

Assembly accounts for relatively little of the cost of a smartphone. The cost largely lies in the chips, battery and display, most of which come from Asian factories. For instance, research firm iSuppli estimates that the components of Samsung's latest flagship phone, the Galaxy S4, cost $229, while the assembly cost $8.

In December, Apple Inc. said it would move manufacturing of one of its existing lines of Mac computers to the U.S. this year, reversing decades of increasing outsourcing. The company has come under some criticism for working conditions at the Chinese factories where its products are assembled.

Some other manufacturers, such as Hewlett-Packard Co., have kept some PC assembly operations in the U.S.Moss said the Moto X will go on sale this summer. He said he could provide few details, citing priority secrets.

Motorola will still have global manufacturing operations, including at factories in China and Brazil.

AP Technology Writer Peter Svensson contributed to this report from New York.

Google‘s wholly owned subsidiary Motorola Mobility is allegedly to be developing on a “sophisticated” smartphone that will “provide more potent competition” to the Apple iPhone, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal.

The device, which is has a codename internally as “X Phone,” will reportedly be equipped with a “top-end” camera sensor and imaging software technology, which previous Google-branded Nexus smartphone devices have lacked. Motorola Mobility is also reported to be interested in using a bendable and unbreakable screen display and elements that would make the X Phone stronger and more durable.

The X Phone will reportedly be launched this year, at which point Motorola engineers will be starting on gearing up to develop on an “X tablet.”

HW Virtual Serial Port & HyperTerminal to Measure iDEN GPS

Connect the Motorola mobile phone to PC via USB
The mobile phone should be in "BERBUG" mode. Windows should install a networking driver for the phone. If a command prompt is opened and “adb devices” is typed, the android devices attached are listed, eg. “000000A6F2C7E0”.

If "ipconfig /all" is typed, the network adapter named "Motorola USB Networking Driver" is displayed. The IP address will generally be 192.168.16.1.

To find out which COM Port to create, at the PC:
Press WIN button + R > Run command: sysdm.cpl > System properties > Hardware Tab > Device Manager > Ports (Com and LPT) > Motorola USB Diagnostic Port (COM9)

COM9 is the port to create for the communication. This port number is different for different connections.


 The Motorola Mobile Phone connected to the USB is detected by the device manager as COM9.

With the networking driver installed, launch the HW Virtual Serial Port 2.5.10 application and fill in the following:
IP address: 192.168.16.2 (IP Address of Motorola Phone Portal)
Port: 11004
Port Name: COM9 (Obtained from the [Ports (Com and LPT) of Device Manager]
Server Port: 23
Activate the “Create COM” button to start creating the virtual serial port.

HW Virtual Serial Port 2.5.10, checks the ADB (Android Debug Bridge) device, which in this case is the Motorola Mobile Phone, by sending a test ping to IP address 192.168.16.2. Upon successfully finding the Mobile Phone, it creates the Virtual serial port COM9 and connects it to the PC.

Launch the Microsoft application ”HyperTerminal”  located in the Accessories Menu.
Start Menu > All Program > Accessories > Communications > HyperTerminal.

 ,HyperTerminal, is located in the Accessories Menu

When HyperTerminal is launched, a name for the new connection is needed. Just enter any name, for example, “123”. Activate the “OK” button.


 The HyperTerminal Command Pad appears. Press the “Enter” key at the keyboard a few times before the "BERBUG>" command prompt appears. Type in the command “phone” and the response from the mobile phone is “PHONE: BERBUG”.

To test the GPS of the iDEN phone (in BERBUG mode), type in the command:
“gps sta 255”

The 1st response could be “Invalid character”. Subsequently the same command will produce a “PASSED”.
