- 1 - Description of iBtPhone App
A . App Introduction As a function-extending software that runs on Apple iOS products (iPod Touch/iPad/iPhone)iBtPhone can realize the functions of Internet surfing, making phone calls, and sending SMS by connecting jailbroken Apple iOS devices with normal bluetooth feature phones by way of Bluetooth, therefore utilizing the bluetooth functionality of Apple products to the greatest extent. The biggest features of the app: 1 The application of bluetooth mobile (including 3G mobile) enables the users to use the phone when the iOS devices suffer from a power shortage or when users cant answer or make phone calls on those devices. 2 Taking advantage of bluetooth of Apple products, the app can support most of the devices already supported by Apple products like bluetooth earphone, bluetooth accessories dedicated to Apple products, etc. 3 Internet access by way of Apple bluetooth implement makes the online surfing fast and reliable. 4 The ultralong stand-by time is the advantage of Apple software and hardware. Because of the exquisite Apple hardware module and the superb user experience of Apple software system, the stand-by time of Apple products remains long even when they are connected to peripherals by bluetooth. Specifically, the stand-by time of iPod Touch connected to Bluetooth mobile phone by Bluetooth can reach more than 3 days during development test. Of course, the actual stand-by time is determined by the battery condition of devices and the way that users use them, and the different implement with Bluetooth mobile. B . User Guide For the convenience of users, all functions, which are switched by the tab option button at the bottom of the application interface, have been integrated in one app. Operating Interface of the App:
- 2 -
Main interface includes five modules: i.e.,BTDevs Man, Recents, Contacts, Keypad and Messages. Their detailed information is given respectively below.. BTDevs Man: This module is used to manage Bluetooth devices, include turning on/off Bluetooth, device connection and connection status display. After turning on the Bluetooth, like Bluetooth management of iOS device , the software will scan the Bluetooth devices in its vicinity and save the devices it finds on device list.

Next, click the device you want to connect and the app will connect the Bluetooth device.
As soon as the connection succeedsthe connected Bluetooth device will appear in current devices section. Besides, if the Bluetooth device supports PAN profile (i.e. Apple Adjoined ring networks), the traffic will be displayed in network flow information section. Meanwhile, the connection information (from left to right, the iPod
- 4 - sign, Adjoined ring connection sign, the Bluetooth signal strength of mobile phone connected to Apple products , the mobile operator, the battery level, the Bluetooth connection sign and local battery information) will be displayed in the status bar in the above. It should be noted that when WIFI is on, the status bar will still display the Adjoined ring sign according to the settings of the iOS. In this case, no data will be sent or received by Bluetooth and the sent/received data displayed in the interface is the flow generated when connection is established or when the identity authentication is processed. Under this circumstances, the network data will be carried by WIFI rather than Bluetooth. If you havent used the network provided by Bluetooth for a long time, the network will disconnect automatically and the Adjoined ring sign will disappear. In this case, you need to click the connected device entry in current selection section to enable the Bluetooth Adjoined ring network again. If the connection is off, click the entry and it will connect automatically again. After connecting with Bluetooth mobile phones, you can press and hold the successfully connected entry in "current selection" (when a prompting appears) for operations like disconnecting and cancel of pairing.

C . List of Bluetooth Phones Supported by the Software: Because Apple products have a relatively high requirement on network, the Bluetooth of mobile phones that support the software should support Core V2.0 or above and profiles like PAN and HFP etc.. Whats more, because of different degrees of completeness of realization of Bluetooth protocol on the part of different mobile phone manufacturers, many manufacturers fail to fully meet the requirement of Bluetooth protocol even to the same profile. With tests carried out, the following mobile phones can do a relatively better job in meeting the requirement of the software: Sony Ericson T707 (T707i, T707c). This type of phone is a 3G mobile phone that supports WCDMA and was used in the development. Sony Ericson K550 (K550i, K550c) is a GSM type that was also used in development. There are many types of Nokia S40 series that have realized Bluetooth PAN profile. However, because of a lower degree of completeness of realization of Bluetooth protocol than Sony Ericson mobile phones, Nokia S40 supports making phone calls/Internet surfing/sending SMS but doesn't support receiving SMS according to development testing of the software. 6300 is the type of mobile phone used in the test. With no tests carried out, the following mobile phone types seem to
- 10 - fully support the functions of the software (mainly bluetooth PAN profile). They are: Sony Ericson mobile phones, many of which are labeled i/c, which stands for international/Chinese. The two different types of mobile phones are much the same to each other. J105(3G/WCDMA)w350w995J103W508u100iW550c W595W660iw980S500CW580Cg705Z770k770w910 k800c(i)W810cZ20U10W660C510w850iK750K530 W20k550T707 Nokia mobile phones, mainly S40 series. Please note that something may be wrong with the SMS receiving. C1-02c2-0175005000650063002700531063033208 3600561076107210N85N865000522023308800 You can find detailed information of many types of mobile phones on the following two websites http://www.phonearena.com/ http://www.jawal123.com/publicpages/products.aspx?lang=en-us. It should be noted again that only three type of mobile phones mentioned above have been tested thoroughly and the usability and the functionality of the software on other types hasnt been tested. Hence, it is strongly recommended that the users use the iBtPhoneTest app (iBtPhhone test version) at first. You can purchase paid version after feeling satisfied about the test version's functions. If you find any types of mobile phones which support the software somewhat satisfactorily and which are not included in above lists, please tell us: iBtPhone@hotmail.com. It should also be pointed out that the test version and the paid version are two completely different apps with different framework. Test version, whose reliability and performance doesn't compare with paid version, is primarily used for testing the usability of the software on Bluetooth mobile phones and cant be used as a product. At present, there is no product-level free edition available. By the way, Major Bluetooth mobiles realize the HFP, if you only used to make/receive calls, this app could satisfy your usage. D . How to Use Sony Ericson T707 (Similar with Other Sony Ericson Mobile Phones) and 3G Network Configuration. To configure the mobile phone:
- 11 - Enter MenuSettingsConnectivityBluetooth", choose Turn On and choose Bluetooth visibility. Then enter data account and check if 3G Network configuration is available. If it is not, click OptionsNew to create a data connection account with its name like 3gnet(random name, the followed step will use 3gnet) and its access point name (i.e. 3gnet, each operator has different APN ). The rest remains unchanged. Enter MenuSettingsConnectivityMobile Networks and choose GSM/3G Networks. Enter MenuSettingsConnectivityInternet Configuration and choose 3gnet. Enter MenuSettingsConnectivityStream Processing Setting and choose 3gnet. The phone name is at MenuSettingsConnectivityPhone Name, you can change to any name. With the above steps done, you will be able to search and connect the mobile phone from Apple iOS products. It should be noted that during the first connection the mobile phone will prompt you if you want to connect the Internet or not ( choose yes) and if you want to be asked for each connection or you want the mobile phone to remain always connected (choose remain always connected). Follow these steps, and keep your iOS device and your mobile Bluetooth turned on, your phone will connect automatically as soon as it turned on. E .
