Hello:
I am using the "Wireless Modem" to connect my laptop to the web via GPRS on my PDA2k. When I use the connection via USB (cable between laptop and PDA2k), it works perfectly. When I do it via Bluetooth, I get the error message "Error 734: The PPP link control protocol has been terminated" right after it tries to register the computer on the network. It seems to recognize the username and password fine, but then it shows the error message and drops the connection.
Any clues as to why this is happening? I have the exact same settings in both the USB and BT dialup connections. I'd like to be able to use BT because it is one less cable to carry around.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

bluetooth modem connection problem
Hi, i read in other forum about this problem, is it setting problem or XdaII problem?
I plan to get one mainly for this purpose, if it is a problem then i have to get something else.
any one please help to clearify.
thanks
AlexT:
I did this OK with my old MDAII, so I think this is not a Himalaya (MDA2, XDAII) problem, but rather a Blueangel (MDA3, PDA2k) problem.

I had this problem recently while abroard.
Even though it "dials" the default GPRS connection you need to manually enter the correct APN name in WirelessModem->tools->settings. It defaults to the APN of the first GPRS account entered rather than the one currently active.
Hope this helps.
Do you know which ROM your version of wmodem came with? (wmodem is installed with the OS ROM not the Ext ROM, right?) Looking at mine, which I think is from i-mate, there is no tools menu in the wmodem applet, and therefore, no place to set/check the APN...
hey anyone has the JAM driver for the wireless modem? If yes can someone please post it here or attach it on this thread. I really need it in an emergency as I am away from my home and don't have the CD with me for the time being. Please please please can someone send me the file
thanks in advance

I figured my question out. It is included in the ExtRom. The version included in OEM_TMO_NL_IssueFix_142115.sa.CAB in T-Mobile_MDAIII_Ext_Rom_142115_WWE.rar has the Tools menu.
ysatti, there are a few versions floating around. Try this modem driver:
ftp://xda:[email protected]ers.com/Uploads/USB_modem
or this one:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Blueangel/O2_UK_Xda_IIs_Upgrade_v140242.exe/
If those don't work, try the attached CDMA version, even though you have a GSM phone. (Remeber you have to be logged in to see attachments)
hello, did anybody found out the solution? I had exc the same problem with my xda mini now. But couple months ago I canuse the bt wireless modem without any problem. I don't know what's up, I did not make any change on setting and installed new progame this period. Last the bt is worked, I can send and received files between the pc and mini.

Hi!
Did you add in modem properties initialisation string?
For me: AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","www.umc.ua". I didnt use modem dialer, only usbmdm driver. Connection set up manualy. Sorry my little English ).

That's work for me. After add the APN, now I can use bt wireless modem.
Thanks
bartman,
Glad it helped.
Dasert75's solution should work as well, and for people without the "tools menu" because it does the same thing.
Seems silly that it uses the default GPRS account but does not get the APN from the settings for that account though.
com open error (8)
i installed wm2005
but when i try to activate the witreless modem on my device on usb connection it says
com open error (8)
any one has any idea ?
I have Imate pda 2 .I Want to use it as an external modem and connect my notebook ( Hp Pavillion 4141) to the internet via GPRS through bluetooth
Could someone please give me a step by step ( I am a novice ) instruction as to how to do this?
hi
did u find a solution ! ??? i can help if u r still Not able to do it.
i could do with a hand
i have the O2 XDAIIi. I followed the O2 instructions from there web site. Im connecting my Tosiba Laptop to the XDA via USB. i can get the laptop to see the xda as a wireless modem, it talks to the xda and the xda shows the 'flashing' modem lights on the screen. the problem i have is the laptop just says page cant be displayed. If you have idiot instructions that wouls be great. the laptop is running XP home edition.
Thanks Pete
I'm very interested in this, because I have "free" gprs at the moment, and if i could run my laptop VIA gprs (even if it is slow) it would free my life up alot!
I didn't even manage to get as far as my laptop seeing my XDA IIi as a wireless modem. Could you send me the link on the O2 site on how to get that far?
the site is here
http://www.my-xda.com/xda2i_spec.html
scroll down and you find this and more
http://www.my-xda.com/downloads/SettingUp_XdaII_s_i_modem.pdf
No when I came to set this up I found my XP didnt match the screen shots so did my best.
also it tells you to put the xda in modem opertation when in the cradle but you need to do it before for, so the PC sees it as a modem rather than xda

Hi
Someone knows where to get the HTC USB modem driver ?
I don't have thedisk
Thanks
I got it....should be tagged to this message!!
I also managed to get the thing working in the end...
I uninstalled the modem and the network link.
ran the modem prog on the xda, hit start plugged into the usb on the laptop
The laptop active sync disabled before plug in!!
Finds the HTC modem and installs
Then rather than setting up a connection I launched internet explorer, tool, internet options, connections
set one up through there...
YOU DO NEED to add the initalization string from the O2 instruction sheet for the serial connection though. otherwise it fails the connection
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","MOBILE.O2.CO"
also check out this place for more info on GPRS settup

thats exactly... the way it should be.. 100% working!
anybody out there with a macintosh who has done this??????
Just getting around to trying your instructions.
If this works I will be super happy. More happy than a Chocoholic in a chocolate wearhouse....or an alcoholic with the keys to a brewary.
this stupid board
just to clear this up for the USB mode you still need to enter the string. which can be found on the O2 instructions for the serial connetion of i posted there anyway.
Pete
I attempted to set it up, but got no-where really....
The instructions are very confusing.
tomw86 Ive added you to msm so you if you're on i can try and chat you through it.
Did you get the modem installed??
Here's how I did it.
Open active sync, File, connection settings.
Disable the USB option.
Close Active sync
fire up the XDA, Programs, WModem (wireless modem program)
Plug the XDA into the computer.
It should now find the modem and go through the give me a driver bit. Tell it to go manual and point it to where the drive is located, if it is the one I posted above then you will need to unzip it first (I had to zip it to upload onto here) or point to the location on the cd.
Let me know if you get that far. Ill try and sort out the rest. I got the modem connected and the laptop to talk to it, connecting to O2 but my IE wouldnt connect through it. I ended up removing the connection and staring again and it worked.
Pete
How can you use GPRS Internet from your O2 Exec/JASJAR on Laptop/Desktop computer?
I am guessing there should be a way through the wireless modem. Any ideas guys?
Activate the wireless modem, install the device as a modem on the computer.
Dial *99# with the computer..
Hi all
I just avtivated by wireless modem through similarly named app on Exec.
Then on laptop dialed *99# and all was looking well until Win XP laptop said registering computer on the network.
Then error message on Laptop said device wasn't functioning.
Whilst it was trying though the coloured lights on the wireless modem(exec) app were flashing away like merry.
That was entertaining enough but any clues as to where I'm going wrong?
Using a bluetooth dongle with IVT soleil on laptop.
Which works for activesync and headset.
Have stopped activesync on exec in order to get this far.
Phil
You have to install USB modem drivers for your Exec on your XP desktop. I don't know if the modem will work through bluetooth. I use USBmodem drivers with my Vario and it works perfectly. I don't know if you need to use different drivers for your Exec, but I will attach the ones that work with the Vario.

Try a soft reset (that worked setting up a mate's Universal with the same error), sounds like you have the modem installed and everything else set up.
Btw when his couldn't connect with that error, it couldnt connect to the network when not functioning as a modem anyway.
thank you for the modem driver for Universal! I really looking for it :wink:
this is about the best walkthrough i have ever read. so Koksie thanks if you wrote this....
anybody got any ideas when this error comes up when i go to start "4- Then in Programs, click on "Wireless Modem". With the Connection type on USB, click on "Start". " and i click start thie error "ERROR .... COME OPEN ERROR"
any ideas what that means?!
Jay
I did not write it myself, just found it and passed it on because it worked perfectly for me. I have no idea why it gives the error you mention. I think the walk through was found on this forum, perhaps try to find the thread and ask the question there? The person who posted this originally might perhaps know the answer. good luck!
I've tried this loads of times all I get is a COM OPEN ERROR on the XDA.. it did work once briefly then wont work again..

I had the same problem. In bluetooth settings delete all the outgoings port that you created. In my case it was port 8 for gprs....Now works¡¡
well thanks for the help.. lol although that doesn't sound to promising maybe i will take it back to o2?
arhh just saw dherrero's reply i may try thatl
jay
hey hey! great thanks for that works brillantly. now i just need to test my tomtom to see if he can stil connect to my GPS device:
Update
Koksie and Kevino most helpful.
I gave up on Bluetooth and got me USB cable out.
The USB modem connects and works well now.
I am not sure the "receive all incoming beams" tick is neccessary?
For O2 customers I found this which was quite useful for the USB Modem Connections settings on the Laptop/PC.

BTW I can connect for my emails but have to setup a new Email Account in Outlook to send using the O2 smtp server (smtp.o2.co.uk).
However I still can not get Internet Explorer to be able to browse on this GPRS connection, any ideas?

Well m8...as you bring this up...
If anyone can shed some light on this it would be great.
It seems to me tat this problem is only with o2 :?
I have also tried in the passed to make phones work with laptops an tomtom go's etc for the gprs connection usage and had no joy.... at first i thought it was the phones...tested with Nokias 6310i, 6230, 6230i, SE t630, w800, w900i, etc all running the latest firmware and 02 active settings and always connection errors.
In the meantime ALL the other networks like voda, t-mobile, orange etc work like a charm on the same setups.

Hi to all , i'm a new user of TYTN .
I always use it as a modem to surf the web via BT in conjunction with my laptop.
My question is : there is a way to defaul the wireless modem to BT ( it default to usb ) when start the program and ( maybe ) the program starts automatically without select MENU>START....
ALSO : i saw that the internal modem work also when the device is into sleep mode and without starting the wireless modem but in this case the connection hang after few minutes ( i think the BT connection to the PC hang ).
If the device is in active state the internal modem work too and fine but if no data is exchanged for a while the device goes to sleep without advice then connection hang.
No problem using the wireless modem .
Again ... there is a way to add the internet sharing via PAN BT like hermes' brothers ( P3600) ???
thx in advance
Greeting from Italy
Davide
I'm having the same problem, also in Italy on TIM. I have tried two different SIM cards, different data plans, and can not find any pattern to the disonnects. If the connection sits idle, it will suddenly stop passing traffic. I have at times been able to keep the connection active by running a game (WoW) in the background on my laptop, but as soon as I the game quits due to timeout (not playing), the connection gets "stale" and dies. Other times, the game will not keep the connection active either. The time it stays active is inconsistent as well. Sometimes when I connect, I get no received packets, only sent. If I disconnect/reconnect 4 or 5 times, usually I will get a good connect and be able to open a web page. I do find it is worse in the daytime than in the evenings, but this is not always true.
BTW, I'm on a TyTn, MacBook Pro w/ the modem script linked from the wiki.
Any ideas?
@ jcolley :
i don't know about macbook , but a problem like your appear on micro$oft XP with the built in bluetooth stack .... much more better use the widcomm stack or toshiba stack for bluetooth

Nope, as there still isn't an AKU3 ROM for the TyTN.
As far as disconnection problems are concerned, try using a desktop-based ping utility to keep up the connection.

Hi All,
I'd like to use my Hermes as an USB modem for my laptop. I have checked the net and found some articles about it.
But, it says that I have to use wmodem application on my Hermes. At this moment I have a HTC 2.11 ROM on it (I have changed my T-Mobile hungarian, because it was a piece of ****), and I can't found this Wireless Modem application.
Can anyone help me to solve this USB modem issue?
Modem Driver and Manual D838Pro
Thank you very much.
But I need the PPC WModem application, because it is missing from my ROM installation, or maybe I'm so stupid to find this.
can someone post the procedure or software in english for wireless modem for hermes!
thnks
wmodem is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306041&highlight=WMODEM
This is how I do it.
I just connect it through internetsharing.
Disable Active Sync and see that you have a local network to your windows mobile. Just Start webbrowser.
Works great for me.
Hey!
I'm new to all these great programs, so could someone explain to me how to use the WModem, what I can do with it, and what it is for?
Thanks in advance!
Why bother when you can do it much easier with Internet Sharing. Just plug in the USB cable. Starting Internet Sharing and off you go.
Agree, using Internet Sharing is the best & easiest way to go!
o rly?

im using the wm6 rom for htc universal...
tried using the internet sharing as the wireless modem is a bit complicated,
everytime i try it, i turn off activesync and then is says the device is not recognised and nothing happens... im on 3 mobile if it helps...
my friend has a mda vario 3 and his works jus fine on t mobile... any help?
I used the internet sharing in my hermes, but seems there is just one problem that is really irritating. Everytime, after connecting, I have to soft reset the phone because the disconnect button will not respond. The only to disconnect is through the gprs/3g soft bubble icon near the signal strength. After that when I try to start the internet sharing again, it will just not work. Anyone have the same experience?
