Most of you may experienced in connect internet to pc by using your phone as a modem. But here if you got Internet connection to your pc then “Hiisi Suite” (HTTP proxy server suite) enables MIDP capable mobile phone to connect to LAN via bluetooth (RFCOMM) connection. There were another software called “GnuBox” also used for this purpose but it can be usable only with symbian phones.

Hiisi Proxy is a midlet for mobile that routes all the http traffic to Pihatonttu Proxy running on the PC. Before installing and running the applications, you have to configure it carefully.

Compatibility:
Tested and working in 6630, N73, N90, N80-1,N95, E51 and E61. It should work in any MIDP 2.0 (Bluetooth enabled) mobile phones.

Follow this installation method and configure your pc and phone carefully.

Configuring to PC

  • In your pc JRE(Java runtime environment should be installed)
    If you wish to check whether installed or not, go to command prompt and type “java -version” (without quotes). if you don’t get the version details then CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD JRE(~7MB) and install it.

  • In your PC bluetooth driver should be installed. Now Download the file and extract it. A folder named “Hiisi1.6.3″ should appear. In the “Hiisi1.6.3″ folder, go to “Pihatonttu” folder. Open up “Pihatonttu.cmd” in notepad (Right click and select Edit). You should see something like this:

    start javaw -Djava.library.path=. -cp .\lib\comm.jar;.\lib\jdic.jar;.\class Pihatonttu.PihatonttuMain COMXX null

    All you really need to change is XX – the COM port that your bluetooth driver uses.
    (In BlueSoleil 2.1.3 Release. In the main panel of BlueSoleil go to My Services -> Properties -> Serial Port A.) In my Broadcom 2045 bluetooth device,

    So in my case the port is COM5. I have modified the code like this

    start javaw -Djava.library.path=. -cp .\lib\comm.jar;.\lib\jdic.jar;.\class Pihatonttu.PihatonttuMain COM5 null

    null - if you need a proxy to connect to the internet, this is where you place that info. (‘proxy: port’ format). Otherwise, if you connect to the internet directly, leave it “null”.
    Save it and your PC config is done.

Configuring to Phone

  • Inside “Hiisi1.6.3″ folder, there should be 3 folders and some READMEs. Open up the “Hiisi” folder, and inside go to “bin” folder. You can find a .jar file and .jad file. That’s the jar file you need to install to your phone. You can directly install the .jar file.[(But sometimes you cant open the installed software. So its better do this way)
    Copy both files(hiisi.jar and hiisi.jad) to the root of your MMC or phone memory,(doesn't matter how you get the files to your phone, via usb or bluetooth but it is important that both files are in the same directory for proper installation.)
    Then using any file explorer (could even use nokia file manager) locate and run the hiisi.jad file and not the JAR, this will be in a path looking something like E:/hiisi.jad (it is important to run the jad file, and NOT the jar file, or simply won't work at all, but .jar file must also be present in same dir as the .jad file for successful installation), so follow all on screen prompts which comes from after clicking the hiisi.jad file, and go ahead and install it.
    (when it asks for where to install >>
    If you have transferred the files on E:/, select memory card to install.
    If you have transferred them on C:/, select phone memory to install.)]

  • On your phone, create a dummy Access Point (Using existing AP you can create a new one). Name it whatever you want(You can put whatever the string for Access Point Name).

    Then go to advance settings.

    Change proxy address to: “localhost”
    and proxy port to: “1234″

    (You can set this as default access point for the phone web browser)
    Now configuration for phone is done.

  • Open up “Pihatonttu.cmd” in your PC.
  • Now, fire up Hiisi from your phone (Make sure to turn your Phone’s Bluetooth on!) it should ask you:
    Image
    Press “Yes”. Then
    Image
    Select Bluetooth Mode. It should display:
    Image
    This time you wait…
    Image
    It should now show your PCs Bluetooth display name. Select it.And it should then say something like:
    “Searching for bluetooth port”

    It should have found something like:
    Image

    Select “btspp://*******” it and it should finally say:
    Image

  • Now minimize Hiisi and open up your web browser (You can try mig33,opera mini or gmail app also) . Select the Dummy Access Point. And try opening a website
    Image
  • Your PC might ask for pairing, just say yes to all.

Hope it works for you all.

    Hi When I Want To Open up “Pihatonttu.cmd” in my PC I Have This Error (Could not find the main class Pihatonttu.PihatonttuMain program will exit) Please Help To Me

    Thanks Behnam for trying this and your comments. Actually when you opening the file Pihatonttu.cmd, it searches the class file Pihatonttu.PihatonttuMain.class which is located inside the directory “Pihatonttu\class\Pihatonttu”. Make sure that file exists there. Or may be you edited the path in file Pihatonttu.cmd (I asked to change only the port number). Try with the fresh downloaded file again.
