Care to share how you did this please.

It's damn easy (depending on your phone ;))

If you got a Windows Mobile Smartphone (like HTC, etc.), start Internet Connection Sharing and select to share it via bluetooth.
Enable bluetooth on the Pandora as well and create a connection between them (the Pandora will show you a number which you have to enter on the phone. Only needed for the first time you connect your phone with the Pandora).
In the last step of the bluetooth connection setup on the Pandora, there will be a small box which says that it should use the phone for internet connection. Tick this!

Finally, once the connection is established, there's a PANU device in the network manager. Connect to that and you got mobile internet :)

Will there be also a new Kernel included for the Pandora in this (or next) Hotfix? AFAIK we still have this old Linux Kernel running onto the Pandora with no optimized Hardware-Support. ^^

thanks for the responses, i guess it's my phone that is the problem then. I have the INQ mini phone which doesn't seem to have easy set up for this kind of thing. nevermind might have to upgrade my phone then at some point in the future.

This is weird. So the middle button didn't work for me and then I notice the normal copy paste stopped working too. ten minutes later they both work and I didn't even reboot or anything. I might have closed the lid for a moment, though. So it seems it's solved I don't know how... until the next poltergeist.

It's using IPKs, so it will install the kernel on /boot/
If /boot/ is on your SD Card and has enough space free (should be at least 10 MB of size), then it should install it on your card.
This is also how it should've been setup.

So for me, this fails when it tries to df /boot. This is what I have mounted

(I thought df was supposed to report the mountpoint of a path, but not at the moment.)

Just tried hotfix 4, all went well with the update but firefox 3.6.7 no longer works x.x it either dosen't display any windows or gives an error about not responding.

The set date script now fails to run. It has a spare backtick (which is I guess why I should have used a proper git patch, but I still need to work out how to drive git)
/usr/pandora/scripts/op_datetime.sh
Code: 
14c14
< date_m=`date +%m | sed 's/^0//'`
---
> date_m=`date +%m`| sed 's/^0//'`

PDAnet has BT DUN and doesn't require root.

I tried that, and couldn't get it to work. Have you tried it with a Pandora?

Did anyone notice a change in appearance overall?

To me and my girl (who plays the Pandora more than I do) it seemed as if the colors got a bit crisper and clear.

Maybe it was all the hash.

Peace & Pandora,

PS Anyone who has a Droid Incredible and has been able to Tether to the Pandora WITHOUT being a Rooted SuperUser, let me know.... I'm about to take it back and get a Palm Pre so I don't have to pay for some stupid data plan etc. Fuck AT&T and Verizon.

Yes I edited mine again as per the other thread, but now it only lets me pick a timezone, then I hit ok and it quits...?

ok I applied this and... no problems.
I then decided to try sudo opkg update...
Then I got a message that no space was left and following that I now get a blank screen on boot. :S

I thought it was ok to update through the package program with this hotfix?

No, I think that was the wrong interpretation. The updater uses opkg (with pre-downloaded packages) in order to perform the updates, but seemingly isn't pointing us to a new pandora specific repo.

We're still preparing feeds, so doing an opkg update and opkg upgrade will still use the Angström feeds and might break your system!

Please wait until we release information about the feeds.

So far, our feeds are working well - but we have no feeds yet for the restricted codecs, so once you update from our feeds, movies won't play anymore.
Once this has been fixed by us, the feeds will be ready for public testing.

Note: If you don't care about the community codec pack and want to use the latest feeds by us (updated whenever we update some scripts :)), please contact me.

Well you may want to put a warning to hold off from updating via opkg directly! :)

You're going Sprint? Also, Bluetooth tethering only works if you have internet, which a data plan gives you. o.o

Just FYI it is possible to add mobile hotspot to a Sprint Pre for no additional monthly charge. Mine is working like a champ with the Pandora.
