This is technical question to check the possibilities of the scenario. Is it possible to use Nokia phone's (Lumia, N9, symbain phone, S40) 3G data connection with a Android tablet pc?
Or any way to use phone's 3G data connection with tablet pc?
I have a unlimited data connection for my phone. But I don't use it that much. So I'm planning to use it with the tablet pc.
yep its possible easily if :
1. your tab is rooted
2. your tab supports usb host mode or otg mode (you could either check it on net or download usb host diagnostics) (just click start diagnostic)
procedure
Downoad ppp widget
configure your apn according to pc suite settings
then plug in your phone via usb on nokia pc suite mode
now wait 10s and click connect
you are now done
(pls switch your wifi off as ppp widget creates virual wifi for your tab)
any inquiries contsct rld0989#gmail.com (don't be rest less I only check my gmail once a day)
Yes, it's possible to use your phone as a modem, connected to the tablet via a USB cable, as long as you have
(1) an APN from your network operator to make a data connection via their network, and
(2) suitable device drivers for the phone. On Windows, smartphones are plug and play, but I don't have any experience using them with Android.
On the tablet, you also need some software to control the modem - something like the Mobile Broadband Connect 3.0 application listed on here
You can write a simple connection app yourself using the Android Telephony Manager.
Alternatively, you could connect manually, using AT commands with a suitable AT command program (in Windows, it would be Hyperterminal). This thread describes a possible equivalent for Android.
Standard AT commands to make a data connection are described in the 3gpp TS27.007 specification.
There are a lot of variations for different manufacturers, but making a simple connect should be possible using the standard commands.

I have an external device that we need to connect with iPhone by using either Bluetooth or wired connection.
For connecting with Bluetooth we know that if the device has BLE then we can directly communicate with it Using CoreBluetooth Framework.
Otherwise we have to go to get it MFI registered.
Also if we want it to connect it using wired connection then also we have to get it MFI registered.But we have found a cable that connects device with iphone and that cable is MFI registerd. So if i use this cable for connecting iphone to device still do i need to get my device MFI registered??
For configuring this device initially i use desktop (putty). Through LAN cable i insert one end lan cable in device and second end in my computer, then using (putty) serial communication (through COM port) we send some commands to configure it. So, can this be done through iphone also if the device gets connected to iphone through usb cable??if Yes then how???if yes through bluetooth then how??
From the developer of that cable's website
"MFI Certified
All Redpark cables are licensed through Apple’s “Made for iPod” (MFI) program and have earned MFI certification.
Apps developed with our SDK can be deployed under your Apple Enterprise Developers license with no further review or approval from Apple."
Key here is Apple Enterprise Developers license. If you're developing this application for internal release within your company it seems you don't need MFI. To be released on the app store I believe you would still need MFI.
As far as I know to configure your device from the phone rather than through your desktop would require a jailbroken phone. See here for a little info http://www.computerworld.com.au/slideshow/365979/great-iphone-serial-port-hack/?fp=4&fpid=5
Task: Testing production software on PC notebook without production unit attached via USB and without changing prodcution software.
Goal: Emulate production device with another PC. The test application runs on the second PC to emulate our device commands/responses.
Challenge: Using a USB bridge cable or other device requires that we can change the PID/VID to look like our device.
Suggestions?
You need a hardware device on the second PC to do this type of emulation.
USB ports on a normal PC are USB host ports. Two such ports cannot be connected with each other directly. USB device (or USB OTG - switchable) ports can be found on programmable smartphones (Android, maybe others) and some developer boards like these. I think you probably need to use a smartphone or developer board rather than ordinary PC as the your USB device emulator.
I would like to create an application that connects to the internet by using WiFi. That's easy, but i also want to connect the iOS device to a standalone WiFi device. (Device is classified)
So basically i want to connect programmatically to two devices at once using a single WiFi chip
Is this even possible (couldn't find anything that proves so on internet). And if possible, how do i do it?
iOS device can't be connected to two different wireless networks at the same time.
Even more: you can't programmatically switch between the two networks - user has
to do it trough the settings application.
So: if the device is on the same wireless network as your router (gateway to internet) then you'll have no problems connecting iOS to internet and to your classified device.
However: if classified device is on a seperate (possibly AdHoc) network then user will have to switch between connection to internet and connection to classified devices's wireless network.
If you're the designer of classified device it would be best if you can manage the connection trough wireless access point. This would be the only way to connect iOS device to your classified device and internet at the same time.
Preferably, this would be a computer connected via cable, but if there's a way to do it over wifi then this would also be useful. I'm wondering if it's possible to send messages between them?
Or if i had a mac app and an iPhone app, could I communicate between them over wifi or a usb connection, rather than using a server or something?
Connecting over WiFi is possible, cable connection however isn't possible (certainly not in the documented API) unless the phone is jailbroken.
For wifi you're just going to connect to a TCP/IP host/socket. Have a look at CocoaAsyncSocket. The computer would need to be hosting some sort of server software. This is how iTunes Remote and AirMouse work.
There are some "permitted" (non-cracked phone) ways to send data to the iPhone from a device that's physically plugged in. There are several barcode readers - like the Linēa-pro used in US Apple stores - and magstripe readers for credit cards (e.g., the Macally Quikswipe) that can send limited amounts of data to/from the iPhone.
If your computer is a small embedded device and your data requirements are meager, it may be possible.
I have a Nokia Symbian Series 60 3rd edition phone. I can use it as a GPRS / 3G modem either using Bluetooth, USB or IR.
Is there a way to programmatically detect when the phone is being used as a modem?
Please note I don't want to detect when a GPRS / 3G connection comes up (such as when you use the phone browser), but when a GPRS / 3G connection comes up that is the result of the phone being used as tethered modem via BT / IR / USB.
So the user has set up a dial up networking connection on their laptop, for instance, which uses the modem in the phone. They then launch that connection because they want to make a 3G wireless internet connection from their laptop via the phone. That's what I'd like to be able to detect from the phone.
I don't believe there's any public interface that you could use for this. You could probably use internal APIs to check what is creating the data connection, or more crudely check which processes are running when a data connection is created - probably quite easy to fool this method, depends why you want to know?
I can see network operators wanting to do this to block and/or charge extra for tethering usage. Easiest way to do that would be network side though, checking the browser UA header (also possible to fool, but not without harming your browsing experience a bit on the laptop).
