Use XDA II as a modem for laptop

Hi!
Has someone a solution / configuration for to get windows working with xda2 as a modem?

i'm pretty sure it works as a bluetooth modem without any software

Using XDA as a modem to your PC
VIA BLUETOOTH CONNECTION & GPRS:
If your PC does not have an integrated Bluetooth connection, you must first install a Bluetooth dongle (USB to Bluetooth) on your PC, with the related software (widcomm or other)
Open on your PC in the Control Panel the Phone and Modem Options
Choose Modems, pick the Bluetooth Modem, then click on Properties
Click on Advanced tab
Type in Extra Initialization commands:
AT+CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”xxx”,””,0,0
where xxx is your internet access point.
Now click on the Bluetooth icon of XDA, and choose Discoverable mode
On your PC:
Click on Bluetooth icon (My Bluetooth places)
Click Bluetooth Setup Wizard.
Choose I want to find a specific Bluetooth device …
After a search period, an icon of your XDA is displayed (usually with your owner’s name): double click for settings
From the Dial-up Networking Links, click on SSA
SSA settings:
Modem: Bluetooth Modem
Number to dial: *99#
User name and password, according to Network provider

Yes it works. Im using my cradle/usb connection though and not bluetooth. I am browsing the net for free and using msn for free!! what I dont get is that why, as im using o2s settings, can i access msn via my laptop using my gprs modem, yet i cant access msn using my xda2. I know they both using the same ports! 8080...bloody weird? Or is there something else which affects the connection to net via laptop than there is connecting to gprs via xda2 connection inbuilt. Any ideas?

Drivers needed
Could please anyone post the drivers to use the HTC Himalaya as a gprs modem on my notebook.
I've lost the T-Mobile CD.

QTEK m100/i mate jam
I have been trying without success for two whole evenings to make this htc device act as a wireless usb modem for my sony viao laptop. I downloaded the USB modem dialler utility that is referred to in the sites, and when I physically connect with the USB cable and turn on the wmodem utility on the qtek then it will connect through GPRS and that is a workable if wirebound solution. However, if I disconnect and close the dieler utility, (which doesnt install, it just exe's everytime you open it) I have to fully reboot the laptop before it will connect again.
Using windows to detect the bluetooth modem results in it spotting 3 bluetooth modems, only one of which is available to "query". Using the Vodafone connect (PC) software, (which works with my old sony ericsson t610), with the newly installed bluetooth modem results in an"AT command not supported" failure message. It does this with or without the GCDCONDetc initialisation string in the modem's advanced settings.
Has anyone got a simple HTC bluetooth modem driver or any better ideas? This is driving me bananas.
Thanks

XDA as a GPRS Modem via Bluetooth

Can anyone help me to connnect my laptop running XP via bluetooth with my XDA II such that I can connect to the Internet via GPRS.
Thanks

yes o2 can
http://www.my-xda.com/xda2_spec.html
down in the buttom part of the page there is a step by step pdf file

Thanks for the pointer, perhaps I'm being a little dense but I wondered it there was a specific guide as to how to link via bluetooth and use the GPRS access of the XDA. - Thanks

this guide is for smartphones but guess you do it much the same way for pocketpc's

I've described that already here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=30962
This is the copy...
It is not so clear about the APN,but this will connect via your default internet connection,that you're using on the go(The APN is described there):
1.Pair your Himalaya with a PC.
2.Start the Wireless Modem app.and choose Bluetooth. Then tap to Start button. Your device must be in Discoverable mode!
3.Now in computer click to the 'My Bluetooth Places' icon on the desktop.
4.Open the connected Himalaya and click to the SSA service.
5.Now the connection window will appeared. Choose the *99# as a dialed number and click to Dial.
That's it.

Wirless modem dont works

Hi
I have problem with trion and wirless modem...
i open in programs->wirless modem---
select USB port and do start.
Connect the trion on usb
but not append... The PC dont see any modem or new found new hardware wizard dont appear...
so in modem i dont have the tynt or trion...
what can i do?
thx

SAme here. It's a known issue

Im thinking to try:
Mobile stream USB Modem for PPC.
Somebody have test it?

IM getting the same thing now. If this is a known issue, and this was like 3 months ago is there any more news on this? Its becoming a right old pain in the backside for me right now!

I have two hermes, both with the same problem. I connect using dial up (bluetooth) but 300 kbps instead of 800

I can connect just fine over IrDA when using GPRS. I don't have bluetooth on my laptop, but I guess the transfer rate over bluetooth is to slow for a fullspeed connection. I can't test that either: I have the low-budget option Pocket Internet Total from T-mobile which is downgraded to 64kbps over UMTS.
For using fullspeed UMTS (3G) even HSDPA, I would recommend using the USB connection.
Two things that can make trouble:
a) I found was that when using the USB cable, I had to disable the automatic connection some programs try to make (such as direct push)
b) I used COM8 for my bluetooth gps: after setting the gps to com0, I could connect without any problem
I read in some thread that you had to disable the advance network features over USB but as far as I can tell that only limits the speed over usb (my guess: USB 1.0 (1.1) in stead of 2.0)

I have a tytn and it works great, I get 3g speeds between 900 and 1300.
1) Plug the usb cable into your pc
2) Make sure you have activesync USB connection disabled
3) Disconnect your gprs or 3g connection (this is real important)
4) Activate the wireless modem app, start connection
5) make sure your gprs/3g connection is inactive
6) plug your pda into the usb cable
7) pc recognizes the wireless modem
8) install driver
9) Create dial up to *99# or whatever your carrier uses
10) Again make sure your gprs/3g connection is inactive
11) dial using your dialup shortcut
after the first time, all you have to do in make sure your gprs/3g connection is disconnected, start the wireless modem app, plug into your usb cable, dial the *99# using your wirelss modem dialup shortcut
I have it working on both Windows Xp and Windows Vista...It is a great backup to my local internet connection and it is very easy to use

Pardon me if there is a difference, but on my Hermes to use its internal data connection as the bearer you have to use *99# (NOT #99*) as the number to dial when configuring the dial-up connection in Dial-Up Connections.
When I tried it (several times) on my XP laptop, it was almost childishly simple: regardless of whether the phone was already plugged in via USB or not, just load the wireless modem app, set the APN to general.t-mobile.uk, hit Start and bam: I wait for it to initialise (the lights in the application window light up to show connection and data, and once those show up just hit dial. No username, no password, Robert's your mother's brother. Worked every time I tried it.
Using a T-Mobile UK-branded Hermes fwiw.

the only CD i have that came in the box is the one that gives you ACTIVE SYNC and OUTLOOK.
Where online can I get the drivers?
My problem is my computer is not recognizing this phone as a modem.

HTC Bluetooth Modem Error 629

Hi Guys! Hope someone can help as this one is driving me MAD!
I have an XDA Exec (latest O2 Rom) and I am trying to use the Exec as a wireless modem for my Tablet PC. I can get it to work using the latest Windows Vista 32 drivers from the forums here by USB and thats great.
However as its a Tablet I like to use it while on-site with my clients one handed while I write with the other. Therefore as the Tablet as built in bluetooth getting that to work would be great.
I have paired the devices and made a dialup connection using the Standard Modem over Bluetooth the wireless modem program on the XDA set it to bluetooth and press start. The connection is dialing *91# with username faster - password: password. I have added the extra modem initiazation string in the modem properties for the APN (same as when using it via USB).
It starts to dialup - opens PORT okay, on the XDA the 'SENDING DATA' flashes on the XDA Wireless Modem program. It gets to 'Veryfing Username and Password' and then stops with Error #629 Remote computer disconnected you...?
Its like its timing out, I have fiddled with the modem speed settings and everything. I have tired this on several Vista laptops and it does the same thing?
Any ideas on what I can try now? O2 are useless in regards to technical support.

Bluetooth Null Modem ?

I want to connect to the Internet via a Bluettoth Access Point (Billionton) providing PAN and LAP, or via my Laptop's Bluetooth Network adapter using Internet Connect Sharing.
On the HD, I cannot find the BT NULL Modem option in the Modems list (all I have there are: Bluetooth along with 2 Cellular options and Hayas modem).
Is there a way to have that option?
On my previous PDA, I had installed the Widcomm stack, there I had that option.
Pleae assist
Thaanks

anyone familiarr with that?

Please, Anyone?
As posted above, Can anyone connect to the WEB via a PC using the Bluetooth Network Adapter (with internet connect sharing) ,using the PAN or LAP BT profiles, not just Activesync.
It seems that a BT Null Modem is required to be present on the HTC HD, but I cannot configure that with the current BT stack.
Please assist
Thanks

Yes, it's possible.
Do the following:
1. Enable BT on your device. (make sure it's in visible mode as well)
2. On your PC turn on your internal BT or insert USB BT module.
NOTE: If you are using XP SP2/SP3 I suggest not to use Window's built-in BT stack, as your PC will fail to install BT modem drivers after pairing. Use Widcomm drivers instead. They worked for me In case you're using Vista, there's no need for 3rd party driver installation, as the Vista built-in BT stack will recognize and install BT modem drivers just fine.
3. On your PC, initiate BT device pairing (once again, make sure your device's BT is visible!). Once pairing is done, and BT passwords are exchanged, your PC should discover the available BT services your device can offer. Select at least BT dial-up networking and BT PAN networking. If you are using Widcomm drivers, it will automatically create shortcuts for you for every selected connection.
That's all for the configuration. If you want to use your device as a BT modem for dial-up networking, just click on the dial-up icon Widcomm wizard created for you and enter *99# as a dialing number. Usually there's no need for username/password configuarion when accessing 3G/EDGE. Should your connection fail, then you must add some "extra modem initialization commands" to your BT modem settings in device manager as follows: +CGDCONT=1,"IP","<APN name>" where APN name stands for 3G/EDGE access point your operator gave you. As an example for ATT USA it would be: +CGDCONT=1,"IP","wap.cingular"
In case you decide to connect to the Internet using BT PAN network, there's an extra step needed:
4. On your device, go to Programs->Internet Sharing. In "PC Connection" drop-down box select "Bluetooth PAN" and for "Network Connection" choose you default access point your operator provided.
5. Again make sure your device BT is ON and is in visible mode (ICS will warn you about this anyway). On your PC launch and establish BT PAN connection by using the shortcut the Widcomm has created for you.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
S.

Thanks for the quick response. Still, I may miss something.
As I had mentioned I want to access the internet from my HD via a PC (thus avoiding the cost for GPRS/HSDPA).
1. When you refer to the PAN on the PC side are you refering to the 'Network Access Point'? (I have the Broadcom stack on my PC)
2. When I click on the Network Access icon (on my PC), its starts to connect but immediately it comes up with an error message sayig 'could not connect to remote device'
3. Does the Internet Connect Sharing (ICS) on the HD, facilitate the HD to access the internet via the PC?
4. I used the following configuration for the ICS on the HD:
PC Connection: Bluetooth PAN
Network Connection: <my mobile provider> Internet
5. Do I have to configure something on the BT PAN Network Adapter on my HD (setting>wifi>wireless networks>network adapters)
5. As I understand from your response, when activating the ICS, for this type of connection, the BT PAN actually take over the traffic detined to be carried out via the HSDPA Internet, is it correct?
Thanks again

this would interest me as well
