Get rid of the low voltage message when connecting blackberry to xps

1. Found this link: http://georgia.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6775440&postcount=2
2. All I did was go here: https://launchpad.net/~doctormo/+archive/ppa
3. Add OpenPGP key
4. Add repository
5. Update apt-get (apt-get update)
6. Install barry-util (apt-get install barry-util)
7. Not sure if it’s required, but I restarted xps here…

Get ready to setup tether…

1. From previous post… go here: http://wiki.colar.net/tethering_with_blackberry_pearl_on_linux
2. Oh…. there’s an easier way… go here: http://wiki.colar.net/bbtether

Get ready to setup easy tether…

1. Go here: http://wiki.colar.net/bbtether
2. Followed instructions installing the dependencies and bbtether.
3. For me… I do have “replacedefaultroute”, so that was easy.

Let’s tether

1. Connect blackberry to xps
2. Watch screen popup a message (something about low voltage) and it will go away
3. Start Berry4All
4. Go to Device>Rescan
5. Oh… says it failed… (expected)
6. Disconnect blackberry from xps
7. Go to Device>Rescan
8. Only listed USB devices…
9. Connect blackberry to xps again
10. Go to Device>Rescan
11. Oh… it worked.. but I got a warning… (we need this warning…)

12. 

    warning for tethering

13. Disconnect blackberry
14. Turn off blackberry (don’t need to remove battery)
15. Turn on blackberry
16. Close Berry4All
17. Connect blackberry to xps
18. Start Berry4All
19. Go to Modem>Connect
20. Select Sprint
21. Connected!!!

Improve speed

1. Edit conf/sprint file
2. Increased speed to 921600.

Side Note

1. I did have trouble with firefox… it wouldn’t “surf” the net
2. I could ping though…
3. Reading the FAQ on bbtether… sometimes firefox puts it to “work offline”.
4. That is my issue…
5. Unchecked “work offline”… and now I am able to surf the net.

Some issues I had…

When trying to compile opensync, there was no opensync/opensync-xml.h.  I found this and it fixed my issue.  http://blackberryforums.pinstack.com/f158/tethered_modem_support_in_linux-40533/

Basically, I created a file  /usr/include/opensync-1.0/opensync/opensync-xml.h, and put copied and pasted this
