    How to pair(almost) any phone with TouchPad to send and recv SMS/Calls!!! Like Pre3

    Just wanted to share this excellent guide over at XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1290274

    Make sure you follow these steps exactly! If you don't, you will have to do a webOS doctor and start from the beginning to get it to work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Things to do first!
    Download freeTether from Preware.
    On your phone, go into where the bluetooth settings are. Turn on messaging access or MAP. (these settings are in all cyogen roms and a lot of other phone too, like sensation and MyTouch)
    Make sure you turn off WiFi during the pairing, it can confuse it. You can turn it back on after if you want.
    In freeTether make sure you enable "Auto BT Tether " in general preferances and enable "PAN profile" in bluetooth pref.
    Turn on touchpad and phones bluetooth now!

    Tethering time!

    1st - Launch freetether and just leave it running.
    2nd - have your phone search for devices.
    3rd - You should see the Touchpad, but don't pair it on your phone yet! Now launch the bluetooth setting on your touchpad(don't close freetether though)
    4th - Now pair with your touchpad on the phone. Wait until you see a pairing request on the touchpad bluetooth settings screen. It comes up at the bottom. Accept there and then finish on your phone and your done.
    5th - you can now close freetether just don't uninstall it. From now on both devices will automatically recognize each other so all you have to do is turn on the bluetooth on the touchpad and touch your devices name that's saved under bluetooth settings.

    Hit "Thanks" and Enjoy!
    There is a list of tested phones on the xda post

    I have a Samsung Infuse 4g. With bluebooth turned on both the phone and the TP, the phone doesn't "find" the Touchpad. Also on TP, what do you search the phone under? As "Other?"
