Checking for bluetooth connection
Is there any way to check that the connection is forced to close by shutting off a device connected?
thanks.
I have a Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Folio i5. Also, even before reading your suggestions, I moved my phone hand set away from the iPad. There aren't any other sources within 10 feet although the phone base is within 30 feet. The WiFi router is about 5 feet away. Haven't had a chance to "troubleshoot" the connection.
Have you any suggestions for Air Drop or Air Print? My Pixma MP 450 which in excellent working order isn't compatable with either OS 10.9.x or iOS 7.
Canon suggested a Pixma MG 3520 which was hellatious to set up, requiring a big download and both a USB cable and Ethernet connection to the router, and isn't working with the iPad.
Clearly, technological "advancements" are for teeny boppers who spend their time taking phone pictures, sending mindless messages and listening to music. Oh, to be 14 again.
Sorry about the bitters. Rare opportunity to vent to adults.

Hi!
I searched a lot but I didn't get my answer. I'm looking for the easiest way to check for internet connection. Can you help me?
Thanks a lot.Hi Pouya Ebrahimzadeh,
I suggest you could connect a site to check if it can be opened.
Public Shared Function CheckForInternetConnection() As Boolean
Try
Using client = New WebClient()
Using stream = client.OpenRead("https://msdn.microsoft.com/")
Return True
End Using
End Using
Catch
Return False
End Try
End Function
If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.

Does the Ipod Touch 5th generation support AVRCP for bluetooth connectivity.
Do the Ipod Touch 5th generation support AVRCP for bluetooth connectivity.
I would like to know if it supports the volume control, call answering function and next/back song panel in a bluetooth headphone. (AVRCP bluetooth)
Does it support headphones with microphone? (for Face Time, TinyChat or recording)
Does it support this device on bluetooth with the Ipod Touch 5th Gen?

Thanks in advanceThanks for a speedy reply
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647
Though this wasn't updated (not having the Ipod Touch 5) but seeing the Ipod Touch 4 having both AVRCP and A2DP, Ipod Touch 5 should also have those...
Thank you so much... Have a wonderful day -
I am trying to set up bluetooth on the Centro to connect to the internet via my PC's internet.
HotSync over bluetooth works successfully.
Computer specs: Toshiba P205-S6277; Bluetooth Stack v5.10.04 (currently using); Bluetooth Monitor v3.01 (to use Vista's built-in bluetooth)
I think I have narrowed my problem down to 3 things.
(1) Finding Network Access properties (to allow connected devices to access the internet)
(2) Finding Centro's Network Connection Type: PPP
(3) Finding the correct Login Script to use
for (1) I think I've looked everywhere; found nothing on Network Access.
Checked control panel: only Bluetooth Local COM
Right-clicked bluetooth icon > Settings: File transfer, PAN Networking, PAN DHCP server, AV controls. Other bluetooth settings are for file transfer or object push. I don't see anything like this.
I'm stumped on (2). It seems as if palm removed this option under Centro's Advanced network settings .
Nearly all the forums that I read says to choose Connection Type: PPP.
(3) Found 2 scripts that seemed would work. I don't know how it exactly works but it sounds workable.
First script:
Send: CLIENT
Send: CLIENT
Wait for: CLIENTSERVER
End:
Script 1 Connect Log:
=======================================
Connect Log
S: client
S: client
R:
Err: 0x121F <<<netErrUserCancel b/c I canceled it.
Not connected
========================================
I canceled it because the process would stay on "Signing In" then it automatically "Canceled" itself.
Second script:
Send CR:
Delay: 1
Send: CLIENT
Wait For: CLIENTSERVER
End
**UPDATE** I found on this forum (Reply # 3689) that the script is needed only if you are using Palm OS 4 or under. Centro uses Palm OS 5.49121. Can anyone support this?
Even without the script it has problems "Signing In".
I'm currently reading this site and trying out its decribed methods. I will update this thread when I get the results.
I'm using the Centro. And If anyone's been able to successfully connect to the internet on the Centro via a bluetooth connection to the PC WITHOUT 3rd party applications, please share. If not, please share any ideas.
Thanks!
-Eric

Message Edited by naisanza on 01-01-2009 02:26 PMI've been going at this for days, and have probably exhausted all the proposed solutions on the first 3 pages of various google searches. I'm getting the feeling that Vista users are pretty much SOL for the time being.
For the record, I just tried out a few of the solutions (mRouter & SoftickPPP) on XP and they work perfectly.

HT4211 Is there a setting I'm missing for bluetooth connectivity?
I use my phone to connect to and listen to music via bluetooth compatible speaker that is mounted on my bicycle. The speaker has no settings to adjust other than volume. So, as I travel through neighborhoods, the bluetooth loses it's connection for a moment and then it comes back. Very annoying. I could connect with a hardwire connection to the phone and speaker but I prefer the wireless connection. I'm not sure but it appears to be that other wifi networks in the neighborhoods are interfering with my bluetooth connection since it happens more often in crowded neighborhoods than when I'm out on the highway shoulder in the countryside.
Has anyone ever experienced this and is there a setting in the phone that can isolate my connection to my speaker and filter out all other wifi interference?Settings>Store...are you signed in? If not, sign in. If you are signed in, tap the Apple ID shown...sign out...then sign back in.

Check for VPN Connection Exists
Hello
I am working on a windows store app for Enterprise. This app will require internet and VPN connection to get data. I have found a way to check for internet access. However, I am not sure how to check if there is a VPN tunnel available. If VPN is available
then I can make a call to a WebService and get data. If there is no VPN then the WebService call will fail [after about 10-15 seconds]. I can assume that if the WebService calls fails that means there is no VPN but there must be another way to find this out
before even calling a Service.
Please help.
Thanks
BevanWe're using Microsoft Direct Access rather than a VPN but I think this is worth sharing anyway.
Rather than calling a web service I'm just using the HttpClient's GetAsync() method to call a small file hosted on an internally hosted web server. This minimises the payload as much as possible which may be important if your users are connected using devices
with 3G/4G with data limit.
I'm wrapping the call in a Stopwatch to get a rough idea of the round robin request/response and visualising that for the users so they know how good their connection to the corporate network is. This info is far more useful than the WiFi/Mobile signal bars.
Stopwatch stopWatch = new Stopwatch();
stopWatch.Start();
HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();
HttpResponseMessage response = await httpClient.GetAsync(nslUri);
response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode(); // -- throw exception if not a success code
stopWatch.Stop();
TimeSpan ts = stopWatch.Elapsed;
This might also be of interest...

Checking for secure connection
We are building an eCommerce site using CFMX 7 on IIS 6 and
would like to know how, once we have a certificate installed, we
can be sure a page connection is secure and someone has not typed a
http:// address instead of a https:// address
ThanksThanks for the suggestion. Works perfectly.
Another question though. We have a sign in on everypage on
the site allowing people to access theur account details. However
the sign-in processor is in the secure folder. So the checking for
443 error kicks them out when they submit their details. I have
tried setting action="https://www.- - - - -/ but it still does not
connect securely. Is there anyway i can post a form securely from a
non-secure page? (I suspect i know the answer)

Bug in OS6 for Bluetooth connection
My BB 9700 cnnected fine with my handsfree carkit when I used OS5. After going to OS6 the connection with my carkit always gave troubles. I've experienced that after a reload of the OS (battery out and in again) the conection works fine one time. After disconnection it will not work again, only after reload of OS (battery out and in) it works again for one time. This must be a bug in OS6. How can I solve this porblem?
Do you know if RIM has a saying in all this? My BB (9300) is behaving weirdly after upgrading to OS6.0 bundle 2949 with all bluetooth related devices: Ford SYNC, Sony SRS-BT100... Failed connections, unreliable sound streaming in Sony's and Ford's as if Bluetooth signal was in the edge of disconnect: 2 meters away from speakers and inside car for sync! Unacceptable! Is it really going back to OS 5 the only solution?

Fix for bluetooth connection connectivity problems...
Hi,
I have had problems connecting my bluetooth for both my nokia's 6300 & 6500 classic to each other, my car and any other device. After just sitting there and searching i found this is the best way:
1. Turn on bluetooth
2. Make sure your phone is visible to all
3. Instead of clicking on search audio enhancements go to Paired Devices and either select New or if you have already got any paired devices click Options on one of them and click Pair new device and a search will begin. The device you want to connect to should now be found.
Hope it worksFor what it's worth...
I have read a bunch of different threads on this. So far I have:
- downgraded my TimeCapsule (still had problems)
- Upgraded to 10.5.7 (still had problems)
- made both the bluetooth keyboard and might mouse "favorites" per http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1907901&tstart=30
- disabled bluetooth in the network panel
...and left an old PC mouse connected to a USB port.
The add as favorites / disable in network panel I have done fairly recently and - so far - no problems.
YMMV...

Addresbook shortcut for bluetooth connection
Anyone knows is there a shortcut (cmd+something) to enable/disenable bluetooht connection?
Hi optijen9712,
Thank you for your post. If you have upgraded to Nokia Belle to find the Bluetooth shortcut swipe your finger down on the screen from top to bottom and it should bring down a notification bar. You should then be able to see the Bluetooth button to switch on and off.
Let me know if this helps.

After a diagnostic check for both connectivity and sync, we may have a conflict.
fellow iPod classic owners,
after a diagnostic check in which my iPod was found to be connected, on the sync test it was found to not be there. it appears that something is very amiss here. now granted i am not a whiz kid, but when one test tells you that you are connected and the next tells you that you're not, who do you believe? i smell a conflict of some kind or some such thing. clearly we have issues here. i don't know where else to turn. anyone have any ideas? both tests are part of the help tab on the iTunes page. it seemed reasonable to start here, but there is a conflict in the test results.
awaiting your comments,
hardphil.mancave4me,
the answer to the question is yes/and yes again. with one comes the other. i still have the problem even after uninstalling and reinstalling the apple apps. it's a thing which plagues pc users. it isn't an issue for my hp laptop however and that intrigues me. i'm no whiz kid with this stuff, but when you pass the connectivity test and it says your iPod is there. then, you fail the sync test because it tells you it is not there. somethings amiss at the circle k. i smell conflict. this is easily solved. just use my laptop for iTunes unless you have a working solution.
that's the way i see this. it's not the end of the world by a far stretch. let me know if you have a solution. thanks for your concern. sincerely, hardphil. -
Please help can we implement datasource for bluetooth connections
hi i my application reads data from bluetooth from PC to mobile now iam using streamconnections iam sending audio data from pc to mobile and for this in my mobile side i would like to implement the datasource for incomming bluetooth data is it possible if so how i can do it....
You should post this in CLDC and MIDP forum and not in this.
Anyway coming to your question now can you tell why do you want to maintain a datasource and what actually you mean by data source in this context. If you want to maintain a list of the data that is transferred to the mobile then it can be done.

HT204023 iPhone won't discover Mac for bluetooth connection for personal hotspot
Mac finds iPhone but iPhone won't find mac
The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
The Mac's BT stack is not equipped for this to my knowledge. I think that you need to use wi-fi. -
Checking for internet connection
Does anyone know how I can use script to check if the user
has internet connection?I think you'll need to check a server - this can be as simple
as calling a
PHP file on your server and if it returns a value you know
you're connected.
I don't believe there's another way.
