Using BT mobile simm in a tablet computer

Hi there. I am hoping that you might be able to help me.
I have a BT dongle which works well on my laptop. I am thinking of buying an Android Tablet PC (possibly a Motorola Xoom) that can access 3G as well as wireless. My question is can I use the Simm out of my Dongle to enable the Tablet to access the network. Will any extra software be needed?
Thanks

Well, without the PIN, I am not sure it will work, however it may simply be an account PIN, and not a security PIN, I am really not sure.
I cannot remember whether the BT Connection Manager for the PC required a PIN, as its such a long time ago since I used it.
My mobile router setup page has a field for the account PIN, but I have never tried to see if it works without it.
As for the "dial" settings, I am not sure. It would be somewhere in the 3G modem settings I would have thought.
You must have some credit on you mobile broadband account, otherwise it will not work at all. So it may be worth checking your account online.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

Can I use the mobile site as the tablet site?

What i would like is to see my phone site when I view my site on the tablet. Currently I have created a phone and desktop version, but when I view with a tablet I see the desktop version.
I realize you can click the tablet tab, copying the phone version to there and create a separate set of files for the tablet. However, what I would like to do is only update two versions (web and phone) when my content changes rather than having to update three versions.
Thanks,

Can you use lightroom mobile to share your catalog on another computer?

Can you use lightroom mobile to share your catalog on another computer?

What you can do is use Lightroom Web via your browser on the other computer. You go into your browser and log into your Adobe account at https://lightroom.adobe.com/. You can then:
use the P, U, X keyboard shortcuts to add pick flags
use numbers 0-5 to add ratings
remove photos from collections
let others see a collection by making it public, sharing to FB etc, giving them the Adobe URL
add new originals to LrMobile by dragging them from the other computer's folders and dropping them in the browser - the newly uploaded file will be automatically added to your main catalogue. Try this, it's got lots of potential uses.

Bug 769476 - sync from Mobile Firefox (smartphone or tablet) will disorganize the order of bookmarks on desktop

Hello,
Normally, I've been using Firefox sync on desktops (home and at work, all running on Arch Linux and one Windows desktop) until now only, without any bigger problems.
I've bought an tablet last week (Nexus 7, with Android 4.2 after update).
After I installed the Mobile Firefox (version 18 was just fresh) onto the tablet, have linked via my account to the sync.
After initial sync finished, I noticed first disorder of my bookmarks on my desktop, without knowing more about the source of the problem at first.
Have been observing and performing various tests the last days, and have come to an conclusion, that the source of this is the Mobile Firefox on my tablet.
Every time I had to restore (fortunatelly I'm performing backups of these) my bookmarks on my desktop to regain the order I want.
I have to disable the sync on the Mobile Firefox in order to stop this bookmarks disorganization.
Afterwards, the problem of bookmarks disorder on my desktops is gone, just until I reenable the sync on Mobile Firefox, then it gets broken again.
By disorder/disorganization of bookmarks I mean this:
1. normal working status as desired when Mobile Firefox ain't synchronizing:
A
B
C
D
E
F
2. broken status after Mobile Firefox sync. enabled (the order may change randomly):
A
C
E
F
D
B
-- but on the tablet's Mobile Firefox, the bookmarks order is being held as far as I've noticed.
I've already tried to clear my entire Mobile Firefox profile, in order to get rid of all Mobile Firefox settings and bookmars, to start on the tablet with a clean shield. Haven't helped, it always breaks the bookmarks order on the desktops again once newly reconnected via sync.
Unfortunatelly, I don't have no other tablet device at hand to test in elsewhere, thus to confirm or deny, whether this is lonely problem on my table only, or a globale Mobile Firefox problem.
Is this some sort of Mobile Firefox bug?
Any other ideas about what to check/change in order to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance for any help.
---- update 20130115 ---
Have just tried to enable the sync even on my smartphone (HTC Desire S, Android 2.3.6), where I used the Mobile Firefox sync before, but have disabled the sync few weeks ago (that time using ver. 17), as the Mobile Firefox started to trigger the sync very often with these new versions, and with one core CPU smarphone, it always took quite long to finish.
Since then, I was forced to perform Factory Reset due to some another unrelated problem.
Afterwards, new version 18 was released, I still wansn't using the sync on the smartphone.
But after I opened this question, just to test it I've reenabled the sync on the smartphone (having already ver.18 installed), waited for the sync to finish on both, smartphone first, following on the desktop, and what a surprise, the bookmarks order did screw up again.
Thus, it's not just my tablet affected, but smartphone is as well.
Now just to differentiate, whether perhaps my sync account with my data is broken somehow, or if the Mobile Firefox sync is indeed the the reason even globaly, not just with me?
But how to differentiate it?
Shall I perhaps open an bug at the bugzilla.mozilla.org ?
have just discovered, that bug already reported https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=769476

Windows 7, Linux, and Android each sort Alpha-Numeric strings differently.

Is it possible to use USB modem on Toshiba AT100 tablet?

Hi all!
I just purchased a Toshiba Tablet and I was just wondering whether it is possible that the Tablet could use a usb modem. My usb modem lights up to say its connected but cannot find where it registers as an option.

Tablet Noob.

Hi
>that the Tablet could use a usb modem
Found this info on some Android webpages:
+Sadly, you cant plug a 3G modem into the USB as there are currently no drivers available. Perhaps later down the track Google will add support for the mobile dongle in its tablet OS, but for now, youll have to jump onto WiFi or a wireless mobile hotspot to get the AT100 online+

Draw signature box for a tablet computer

I work for a public library and Acrobat is not my area of expertise so I need some help please!
We have a PDF form for a lease agreement for a meeting room space. Using a tablet computer, we go over the lease with the renters and then sign it in person
I need a signature box that just has a way to draw the signature. Right now I have to go through about 4 clicks to get that box, sign it, and then place the signature. I need a 1 click/tap solution that pulls up that draw signature screen and places it back in the existing box or field.
I have tried using a text box with a javascript but am not getting anywhere.
Thank you!

Using Lightroom Mobile as travel downloader/editor

Friends,
I'm a new member of the Lightroom family. I'd like to use Lightroom Mobile while traveling whereby I download RAWs (or RAWs and .jpegs) to my iPad, edit the images on my iPad, then easily sync/transfer those edits to my computer when I get home. Is that possible?
Thanks!
Steve

I don't think it matters that the iPad isn't colour managed (and LrM isn't designed for it). OK, it might if you are brave or stupid enough to make exhibition quality prints without reviewing the image on a real computer. Instead the adjustments on the iPad are ball park, equivalent to Quick Develop, they give you time to think about the image, try out crops, rate and flag etc. Your time in front of a monitor is then spent on fine tuning.
An alternative workflow is possible if you get access to a real computer while you're travelling and if it has decent upload speeds. Log into your lightroom.adobe.com in a web browser and drag the photos from Explorer/Finder into a collection in the browser window. The raw file then uploads, and will be synced down to your computer when you get home. You can then make adjustments in LrMobile and avoid kludges like Syncomatic.
Personally, I think the small laptop is still the way to go. For now anyway.

When I use lightroom mobile it does not show all the photos in my camera roll. I have 57 and it only shows 32

WHen I use lightroom mobile I have 57 photos on my iphone . I transfer them to my ipad and then I try to put them in Lightroom mobile from my ipad camera roll and only 32 show and transfer

Same problem here, and with even fewer photos. There should be 14 photos (per the LR collection info), but when I view on my iPhone (5s), only 11 appear. They do all appear on my computer. I've tried the following to make it work on my phone:
Creating a new collection and importing there. It says one photo is in the collection, but none actually appear.
Completely shutting down and rebooting the iPhone.
Deleting and re-downloaded the app.
None of these have worked.

Will I be able to update to iOS 7 on Wednesday using my mobile data ? (Unlimited data and capped)

Ok, so my mother has decided to decorate the living room and I have recently discovered she's unplugged the Internet and it will be off for 2 weeks.
However I have been so excited for apples iOS 7 that is due to release on wedensday 18th and I was wandering if I can update using my mobile data or will I only be able to update thu wifi ? (I get unlimited Internet and my contracts capped so I'm not worried about going over my contract) ?

No. Any downloads over 50 MB, including iOS updates, MUST be done via WiFi or using your computer via iTunes. Go to a library, or Starbucks, or McDonalds, or someplace else where you can get WiFi access to download it if you're that desparate.

When i use the apple tv it puts my computer to sleep. the last time this happened i lost microsoft word with all the documents. i'm asked to relaunch, but that step fails. i'm frantic! can anyone help me see my documents again?

There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

Those who purchased Lightroom outright can not use Lightroom Mobile without a subscription?

This seems quite odd that the licence does not include the Android platform and Adobe force the purchase of their CC subscription.

Your final point about losing one's catalog if the internet goes down doesn't make sense to me, if I understand you correctly.
My catalog remains on my PC along with the LR software. LR Mobile uses the internet to sync some of the information stored within it with mobile devices. If I lose the internet I lose communication between the devices but not my catalog.
I'll try to clarify. To use Lightroom Mobile, a Creative Cloud Photography Plan is a minimum pre-requisite costing (about £8 a month where I live). If that is your only license agreement, if you do not own a perpetual license of Lightroom, I can see subscription ending scenario being triggered in the event of an extended internet blackout or a combination of events the designers did not think of. This is an interesting readRe: Top Ten Questions About Creative Cloud.
Take 3 scenarios, all without a perpetual license:
a) you do not own a perpetual license and are on a trip, a field trip, without internet access for more than 7 days and you are using LR on a laptop, the 7 day period grace gets triggered. Let's assume that you are offline for more than 14 days, you might very well loose access to your catalog but not to your files unless you get internet connection (good luck if your visiting certain parts of the world)
b) you stop paying your subscription, you lost access to your catalog
c) for reasons now unknown to us we loose internet connectivity for a month or the Adobe servers are unreachable, you lost access to your cataog
What is in your catalog? You keywords, collections, saved prints, possibly books, and crucially any adjustments made to your files. So loosing your catalog = loosing all your hard work.
I have been on trips with extended periods without internet connectivity but had my camera, laptop and LR installed on it; photography was the whole point of the trip. Without a perpetual license I would have lost access to my catalog more than once. As for c) not happening, I am old enough to remember the year 2000 problem and the mad rush to fix all of this computer programs that only supported 2 digit years and were not meant to have been in use 40 years after they were wrote.
I fail to understand why we have to design systems that must have access to the internet on a regular basis. It makes the internet a single point failure.
To sum up, you must own a perpetual license not to suffer a subscription ending scenario.

Using 3G mobile as a modem

Hi,
I am trying to set up the configuration to use my mobile a Nokia as a modem for the mini. All the configuration/pairing is done. I can set files to the phone and vice versa but when I initiate a connection by cliking on the phone icone, it displays in the upper bar first something like "Connectiong ..." then switch to "Disconnection..." , and it shows the "disconnetion..." for ever after and I can't cancelled the request. Obviously, I can't establish a connection.
Same story using the cable, tell me my configuration is incorrect.
Any experience of such a problem ?

There appears to be a problem in Mac OS X 10.5 in requiring a certain type of PPP protocol not supported by all GSM providers.
I had the same problem you appear to be describing, trying to use a Nokia or Sony Ericsson mobile phone via bluetooth as an internet modem. After successful bluetooth pairing the mobile phone and the Mac, I can browse the mobile phone content from the Mac, but attempts to connect to the internet fail ("connecting - disconnecting"). This is the case from within the Network systems panel and using Novamedias launch2net software (Novamedia ought to know better!). The problem dos NOT lie with the mobile phone, as it works fine as a bluetooth modem from a Nokia N810 Linux internet tablet. So it's a Mac OS setting or modem script problem.
The solution for me was to tell Mac OS X not to require a particular form of PPP protocol.
Instructions on how to do that are here:
http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?p=421419
"I ran into exactly the same problem with Treo 750 and was able to solve it by following these steps:
1. Open /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
2. Find PPP entry for the Bluetooth connection (search for "Bluetooth-Modem")
3. Find "CCPEnabled" parameter that belongs to this entry and replace "1" with "0"
4. Save the file
5. Connect and enjoy.
Basically it looks like Leopard enforces MPPE encryption/compression now and it's not supported by many GSM providers. I wish they made this setting configurable via GUI..."

How do know which services use up my data on my tablet? 2:How can I avoid this?

How do know which services use up my data on my tablet? 2:How can I avoid this?

@mwbail2,
Great question! Managing your data usage is definitely important. You can view what apps are using data by going to Settings and then Mobile data on your phone. There is will show you the apps using data.
If you want to avoid the data usage on the apps you want to make sure you close out the apps when not in use. You can also make sure that they are not automatically updating whenever there is a new update to the app. To do this simply go to the Play Store and select Menu. Then go to Settings and there you will see the option to change the auto update to update over wifi only.
If you want to complete turn off data, just go to Settings and then mobile network and turn it off. Keep me posted if you need further assistance.
