This problem is with the phone itself, I have a W995, C905 and a K800. They all set-up my net connection as soon as I connect the phone. The c905 however rejects (doesn't allow?) the connection. The k800 and w995 works without any trouble. I couldn't find solution as yet.

This should just work in Karmic.

When you plug your phone in via USB, let's just start there, the networking wizard should open and take you through the setup process. This is very simple and the wizard will apply all the necessary settings like the "phone number" to dial.

If it doesn't automatically open, right click the networking icon and add a new connection. That should get you going.

If that doesn't work, and it should there is a solution I've used before using wvdial. It should work however, my son's just bought a Blackberry Storm 2 and it took about 2 minutes to connect it to the web using my laptop via bluetooth!!!!!

Never tried in karmic, in jaunty the phone setting is auto. As soon as you dial(connect) it says disconnected, on my other SonyE phones the phone shows "connecting to Internet"(Or something) but not on the c905, the phone doesn't even try to connect.

I am updating my situation, my sony ericsson c905a were send to a repair shop because it has problems 2 month after purchase whit the connector port. Were connect the earphones, usb data cable and the charger. It just don't make good contact and it dont charge. Sometime the earphones jack get shaky and cut the audio. Just be aware is you hard using your c905 phone it can happen.

Right now I'm using my old w580i and it connect to my gateway laptop uc700 series by bluetooth without any problem. It just works, very ease to set up almost plug and play. I hope that someone figure out how to use the c905 as a modem by data cable or bluetooth let me know please. Thanks for your help, keep the god work people.
