I recently managed to grab myself a c902 to replace my k850, before they stopped stocking them. I'm trying to use DUN over bluetooth on it, and not having any luck. It's t-mobile branded firmware, I've had the extended lock removed to see if that was causing the issues.

Trying to connect from my PDA with *99***1# brings up the computer icon replacing the bluetooth icon and "Connecting" but eventually times out with connection failure/check your settings/contact your service provider. I'm wondering if this is a firmware issue, so can anyone confirm they're using DUN to connect through their C902 or if they've also had issues ?

Some diagnostics:
Connecting from a laptop using PAN with the phone and t-mob sim is fine.
Connecting from PDA using DUN with t-mob sim in my K850 is fine.
Connecting from PDA with orange sim in C902 gives the same errors as with t-mob sim.
The first APN is the one that came with phone, works with PAN, works with on-phone apps. I've also had t-mob and SE have their configuators send me it, they both looked identical, and failed the same.
I've given it a firmware update using the official SEUS though that's the latest t-mob branded rather than a properly clean image (R3EG004 prg12234452_TMOBILE_AS) ... not that t-mob seem to like the update service, as there's no OTA option in their firmware.

I'm changing ***1 as necessary to pick the correct network settings when swapping sims or supplied settings around, obviously. Not had any issues with this PDA and a raft of SE phones (T68, T610, K750/800/850) doing the same process with various providers over the years.

Anyone shed any light on this ?

thanks

Maybe this is your problem:

Unfortunately not. Setting USB to modem, to network, or disabling it all don't seem to make any difference to trying it over bluetooth.
