21 November 2006Bluetooth DUN workarounds for the Samsung i730? - Engadget
I found instructions on using my Samsung i730 as a modem for my laptop, achieving speeds up to 760 kbps on Verizon’s EVDO network. Here are the steps:
UNHOOK THE PHONE FROM THE USB CONNECTION AND DO NOT HOOK UP THE PHONE TO THE COMPUTER UNTIL PROMPTED.
You have to download and install SCH-I730 MCCI driver http://www.samsung.com/download/# from Samsung’s web site before it will detect the drivers.
The file you download from Samsung’s web site will display a weird dialog box that has a bunch of buttons with question marks on them. Click the bottom left button. This extracts the installation files to a folder. Run setup.exe.
Go to the phone app and then press: PATH 7284
Select: As the modem through USB
NOW PLUG IN YOUR i730 using the usb cable. It shoud detect the modem driver now.
You now need to make a new Dial Up Networking connection using the following settings if you do not know how to make a dial-up connection, please Google it. This is dependant on which Operating System you are using :
Phone number to Dial: #777
Username entered: yourtendigitnumber@vzw3g.com
