Update on Bluetooth Speeds (Tethering, Headsets, etc)

Posted on December 6th, 2008 in Uncategorized by Disconnect  Tagged , , , ,

I just got the official word (from SanMehat in #android – thanks!) that the tethering speed problem (80k/sec or, coincidentally, 115200) requires an upstream fix (in-progress). The current driver is only capable of the basic 115200 speed. However, to quote SanMehat:

“we have a new driver for the High speed UART but its not quite ready yet”

(Battery life problems, among others..)

Quick Update: PAN + DHCP Accomplished

Just a quick note to let everyone know that I got automagic PAN + dhcp tethering working. The patches are in Gerrit. (3123 and 4834). Build it at home or look for it in JF’s next RC30 patch. (Later today I’ll probably try the MBP over 3g, just for S&G.)
