Hi all,

well if you mean that the mac will use the xda2 as a modem then you need vmodem on the xda not sure if xda2 have that as default
since macOSX is really a bsd kernel you may be able to use linux or bsd howto's to fix it
may be a driver and setting issue

Yes i mean that...
I cannot use my XDA2 as a bluetooth modem on OSX...
If I look for serial ports on XDA2 I found
OBEX Object Push (?!?!?)
SSA
Serial Port COM4
I've installed these ports as MODEM and as RS-232, used a generic GPRS driver but no luck
With SSA i get "establish connection" the white G appears on XDA2 but it doesn't dial the gprs number (internet.wind)
Sic
Maybe i need a string? Not only internet.wind...
as far as i know
the program vmodem needs to be located on the
xda for it to work at all
my xda1 had it on it's org rom but every rom since
dont
also heard people with xda2 say it's not there
What version of OS X are you running ? (are you even running OS X or OS 9 ?
Aside from that, connect the blue tooth adapter to the pc (if its a laptop, most modern ibooks or power books dont come with blue tooth built in) and make sure thats setup correctly
then you have to marry the phone to the pc on both ends
and then just dial what ever # to reach gprs
on my xda gprs threw the phone is internet2.voicestream.com (tmobile usa) but on my girl friends ericson phone, its like ##949### or something like that (tmobile usa also)
i've used her phone with bluetooth on my ibook 12 inch 800mhz with os x 10.3 and it worked just fine
alot easier than it was to set it up with her toshiba laptop under XP Home
Hope this helps... XDA2 hasent come to the USA yet (to my knowledge) so i dont know specifics about using it with that)
-Mario
Also, OS X 10.3 comes with blue tooth software built in
If ur using 10.2 there may be a update, dunno
There are software updates (Apple Menu / System Updater) that you can get for 10.3 to help things out
-Mario
I use 10.3.3
I've read a FAQ to connect with my gprs provider with an ipaq + irda gprs phone.
The Ipaq will send via irda the number *99# plus this extra string +cgdcont=1,"IP","INTERNET.WIND";
So I think that with my Powerbook I should compose *99# and the string... but I don't know how to put the extra string... mm
Do anyone solve the problem?
I have configurated everything for gprs connection with xdaII on my powerbook. I have associated the two device also: in bluetooth device list of my mac the xdaII appears (and are also listed the service supported, such as ssa).
But there is no way to let the mac see that I'm running vmodem on xda: it tells me bluetooth device is not connected.
Any idea?

I have managed to get my powerbook using GPRS connected to XDAII via Bluetooth. I've only just figured this out after days of reading posts etc. so forgive me if these instructions arent clear.
I'm using Mac OS X 10.4.1 but inorder to get it working I had to get hold of the Bluetooth Serial Utility (which was part of 10.3.x but removed in Tiger) from an other machine.
I had read that this App still works in Tiger. (and it does)
Using this I set up an new "outgoing" modem port and selected the SSA service on my bluetooth connected XDAII. I named the port "XDA2" and selected all the checkboxes (i.e. for it to appear in Network etc.)
I downloaded Ross Barkmans Generic GPRS scripts from his websitehttp://www.taniwha.org.uk/ and installed them in the /Library/Modem Scripts folder
I then went to System Preferences/Network and set up a Location that just had my new XDA2 port in it.
On the PPP Options window I switched off Header Compression and entered the following in the PPP settings(I have an O2 GPRS account in the UK):
Service provider: O2
Account Name: O2Web
Password: password
telephone number mobile.o2.co.uk
In the modem window, I selected Generic GPRS CID1
Heres where the fun started. When I tried to connect I was seeing script errors in the Internet Connect connect log. It turn out that most of these were because the script was sending a terminating \13 rather than a \13\10
By adding a \10 to the lines that seemed to be logged as failing, I eventually saw a "Making GPRS connection" appear in the log.
The next line that failed was were the scriot sends the "phone number".
This appears as write "ATD*99***1#\13"
From looking at some of the other documentation I found about connecting to O2 GPRS I tried changing it to:
write "ATD*99#\13\10"
To may amazement the next attempt to connect worked!!
Its still seems a bit flaky and I'm still seeing some disconnect errors in the log but at least I have it working.
If you would like to download my 'hacked' version of Ross's Generic GPRS script. I've uploaded it here http://www.430am.com/XDA2_GPRS.txt
I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has a similar success
I've done limited testing, but these are my notes on connecting an O2 XDAII to an IBook running MAC OS X10.4.7. Hope it helps someone..
Start Wmodem with a bluetooth connection on the XDA.
Place the modem script (attached - no need for the .txt extension, just needed it to upload the file here) in 'Library' -> 'Modem Scripts'
Go to 'System Preferences' -> 'Blutooth'
Press 'Setup New Device' and select 'Any Device'
Select 'Pocket_PC' and click 'Continue'.
Enter the passcode on the XDA and name the device.
Don't create a serial port on the XDA.
Go to 'System Preferences' -> 'Network'
Select 'Bluetooth' and enter the following details...
Account Name: O2Web
Password: password
Telephone Number: mobile.o2.co.uk
Select 'PPP Options' and uncheck 'Use TCP header compression'.
Go to 'Bluetooth Modem' and select 'Generic GPRS CID1'.
Go to 'Internet Connect', select 'Bluetooth' and click 'Connect'.
I have scoured the forums and the nice BT how-to's at geekzone web site but still can not get this connection set up. I want internet access on my laptop (W2000Pro) via BT connection to PDA (PDA2k) using GPRS on PDA. Maybe I just am using the wrong number to dial. I thought it is *99# for AT&T W here in the US. Detailed instruction on PC and PDA end will be much appreciated.
Have you put the modem string in?
On the laptop go to Control Pane > Phone and Modems > Modems
Highlight the XDA connection and click Properties > Advanced tab
In the 'Extra Initialization commands' field enter
at+cgdcont=1,"ip","Service provider"
for service provider it could be AT&T.com; you will have to find that out!

There are a few factors to consider when attempting to use a PDA as a GPRS modem, as follows:
1) PDA devices, throughout several years of my testing/engineering experience in the wireless data industry do not make good GPRS modems (In fact, most of them do not function as modems - as it was originally intended by the manufacturer)
2) The Win2k Pro has to be at least Service Pack3 for decent GPRS connectivity (I am going to assume that it is either SP3 or SP4 on your box)
3) Under control panel > phone/modem options (as mentioned by the person below) you need to click on the "modems" tab, then highlight your PDA modem and click the "Properties" tab....Here you will click the "Advanced" tab, AND in the "extra initialization command" bar you will enter the following string (case-sensitive) at+cgdcont=1,"IP","proxy" ....don't leave spaces in the string...then click OK and OK again (or apply and OK, whatever the option is)
4) Most importantly, you need to make sure that your SIM card from ATTWS/Cingular is accurately provisioned for the GPRS PDP option. (If it's not yet, you will need to call the ATT Wireless Customer Care/or Cingular Customer Care -whatever it is called right now)
5) You will then go into the Control Panel > Network/Dialup Connections and "create a new" manual DUN connection using that PDA modem driver (not your internal modem driver obviously - you would be amazed how many ppl make that mistake)...You will want to dial *99# ....You don't want to use ANY area code or dialing rules, and you want use both a blank username and a blank password (make sure "save password" is checked)
In conclusion....Provided that all of the aforementioned components are in place, you should be able to connect and browse/get mail, whatever your needs are.....depending on the capabilities of your PDA modem, you will get anywhere from 28kbps to 70 kbps for your data throughput.
Enjoy,
Sincerely,
Your local neighborhood friendly GPRS expert :lol:
PS. I just realized that you are using BT as your connection means (which implies you have to use Bluetooth Neighborhood, Bluetooth Places, or Bluetooth Devices, one of the above anyway........Therefore, just apply the settings I gave you to the Bluetooth DUN setup (instead of the Windows DUN setup)...You should see your PDA modem as a "bluetooth Dialup modem" on com6 or something of that nature.....
Cheers 8)
Finally got it - was easy in the end
A correction... I am using XP SP2 not 2000 (duh). Anyway I got the connection working and it all seems very easy in retrospect.
For anyone else having this problem: You just need to find the services offered by your pda2k through your "BT Places" on the laptop. Dial up networking will be offered, choose that and a shortcut will be created automatically in BT Places. All else was automatic, just dbl click Dial-up Networking. You will see a dialog on pda2k explaining the connection, you get a phone icon in banner area and then use the internet on your laptop just like normal. In case it does not happen automatically you just need to make sure you have a BT modem in Control Panel/Modems on a COM port and a BT connection using that modem with number *99#, no other options or settings required.
Glad you figured this out!
I was going to suggest using the Widcomm drivers found on this forum. I switched and was able to get a DUN service.
On another note if you are using the MS BT drivers, I found that if you establish an Activesync connection via BT, you can setup the outgoing serial port as the BT modem.
Can the 8525 dial in to my internet providers access number and access the internet via dial up networking?
Thanks
Ok, here is what I am doing.
Start-->Settings-->Connections-->Connections-->add new modem connection.
My Connection - Name
Cellular Line - Select a Modem
Enter number for my dial up service
Enter Username
Enter Password
Leave Domain Blank
(no changes to the advanced section)
Click Finish
When I select the new profile "My Connection" and tell it to connect, I am again prompted for my password. I enter my password and press OK
It says connecting to "My Connection" and Connecting using Cellular Line.
This flashes up twice then I get the message:
Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings. If the problem continues, reset your mobile device according to your manufacturer's documentation and try again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Edit:
one other thing that I tried was putting in my home phone number as the number to dial. When I try to connect, it doesn't seem to even be dialing the number because my home phone did not ring or anything.
Seems that Cingular does not allow this according to this thread
That really sux!
Lantern20,
I'm using a HTC Tytn in Sweden that is Operator free. I then use the chip from my company's subscription to Vodafone (Telenor). Everything works fine, including GPRS, but I get the same message as you do when trying a dial-up connection.
And, same as you, it doesn't seem to dial at all. The message comes too quick. If I manually dial the dial-up number, the modem answers in the other end, so the number is okay.
I haven't checked if Vodafone still allow CSD in their network (according to the thread you pointed out), but I do believe they do, since I already used the same chip in a Sony-Ericsson phone to dial-up. So, it seems that dial-up works with my chip.
Anybody comment???
I'm having the same problem. The strange thing is that I tried dialing manually on my phone to the ISP and I can hear the modem pick up on the other end. Any insights?
Dial-up Connection
I can get mine to connect but I am unable go load browser pages.
I had a 8125 that worked great.
Hi all, Ive read a few posts concerning this on the forum but none seem to quite cover the problem in the detail I seem to need.. After I get this working ill write a complete guide for the forum!
So, here's how far Ive got.
1) Paired my phone to my Mac via bluetooth.
NB: When using the Bluetooth Setup Assistant, the Trinity doesnt correctly identify itself as a Mobile Phone in the pairing process. This means you don't see the option to "Access the Internet with your phone's data connection". View the tutorial on this page for this missing step!
http://homepage.mac.com/jrc/contrib/tzones/
TBH, im not sure if this step is the problem, but still there's something fishy a gwan.
2) I can successfully connect the phone and the Mac on PAN using Internet Sharing.
3) Next I created in Incoming Port (COM 0) on my phone in the Bluetooth control panel.
4) In Bluetooth Prefs on the Macbook it successfully finds the COM port from step 2 above via "Edit Serial Ports.." I can set this port to be a type of "Modem" and set to "Show in Network Preferences".
5) In Network Prefs, I can setup the COM port from step 4, to use a telephone number of *99# and enter "user"/"pass" into the Account/Password fields.
On the Bluetooth Modem tab, I use the modem script called "Windows Mobile GSM 460k" from this page:
http://www.taniwha.org.uk/
6) Set all the additional config such as turn off Send Echo Packets and turn off TCP Compression etc.. etc..
Now, I run Internet Sharing on the phone and connect the Macbook to it. Fire up Internet Connect and choose the serial port from step 4. Press connect and the connection fails.
The connection log displays this:
Windows Mobile GSM 460k
CCLWrite : AT\13
CCLWrite : AT\13
CCLWrite : AT\13
Connect script failed
From looking at the modem script myself, it appears the phone isnt responding properly to the Macbooks attempts to use it as a modem.
So... has anyone done anything different to get this to work? Im sure im nearly there now.
Thanks for any suggestions!

Here's an interesting additional post I just found explaining about DUN and PAN in AKU3.0
http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2007/04/17/why-did-we-remove-bluetooth-dun.aspx
Just 5 mins ago I managed to get an IP on a network interface in ifconfig.
At this stage the attempt to connect via "Internet Connect" still didnt work.
So I deleted all my settings so I could ascertain what exactly the correct setup was.. and now nothing works. I just cant get that IP back.
Dammit.
Hello... Got a Touch recently, and doing research found this forum. One of the best findings lately for me: already flashed the phone with a WM6.1 ROM and updated my radio successfully. But I have a problem (even before the flashing):
I can't connect to my wifi. I have a belkin N router. Have tested almost everything: updated the router's ROM, updated the phone's radio, turned off security, assigned manual IP's, etc, but with no success... so I'm running out of ideas. I can connect to another people's wifi's tho.
Anything I have missed? Just an incompatibility? (which means I'm screwed)
Thanks a lot
is t on n only mode?
touch is g/b as u probably know
if not, try with no security to see if it connects
Yeah, it is in a multiband setup (g/b/n).
Also tested with no security. No sucess.
I have the same problem, I'll let you know if I find a solution.
Same thing... I'm trying to figure out a solution, any findings, will post here.
I tried to connect my Touch to my old netgear 802.11b router at home without any success. I did a lot of "googling" on the subject, and only found that many concluded that it wasn't possible to do so.
Also, I have AT&T, and they are offering free hotspot WIFI connectivity to their customers (which is intended for laptops). My touch detects the WIFI signals, but I have yet to find out how to make a connection.
It seems like there should be a way to do it somehow though!
Anyway...
Best Regards!
pl, when you go into your Settings -> Connections -> Wi-Fi, can you see your wireless network being detected?
The only things that spring to mind at the moment, are the basics for normal connection ...
1. Network type (B/G/N)
2. Authentication (password)
3. MAC Filtering
Here's what I would do ...
1. Reset router (usually has default button at the back).
2. Set it up for DHCP (sometimes cures a lot of problems).
3. Set simple WEP with password.
4. Obviously a network name (make sure it is not hidden, also make sure AP is enabled)
5. Set channel
6. Set mode (Network type) to mixed.
7. Save and reboot.
8. Soft reset Touch
9. Go to Settings -> Connections -> Wireless LAN
10. Activate Wireless and see if your SSID (network name) pops up. From here you can see signal quality and IP (to make sure you got it from DHCP).
Give it a shot and let us know what happens.
same problem here, really annoying!
Strange, I have never had problems with mine (had it connected to a couple AP's already). In fact, it's easier than connecting my laptop to a WLAN.
You have anything else that can connect to your Router? pc or something.
My Touch can connect to other routers, and I have 2 PCs at home which connect to my Belkin N router, I just can't connect my Touch to it.
I found a solution
Customer Call Details Nov 13 2008 04:37
I have an HTC Touch that can connect to other hotspots, but not to my home Belkin router. Sometimes, if there is another connection available, it can see the router, and says that it is Available, but cannot connect; other times it won't even see it. I have checked for firmware updates, but I have the latest. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Belkin Response Nov 14 2008 22:18
Hi Lilburd,
Thank you for contacting Belkin Technical Support.
We understand that the HTC Touch does not connect to the router. We apologize for the inconvenience caused.
Please follow the steps given below to update the firmware and configure the router:
We recommend that you update the firmware from a computer that is connected to the router with an ethernet cable.
Please download the latest firmware on the router from the link given below. Download the file "3.01.29":
http://www.belkin.com/uk/support/article/?lid=enu&pid=F5D8233uk4&aid=10288&scid=0
and save it to the computer.
- To update the firmware, log on to the router`s web interface by typing in http://192.168.2.1 in the address bar of the browser. The computer should be
connected to the router with an ethernet cable.
Note: If you have changed your Router’s IP address, use that IP address.
- By default, the password is blank. Click the "Submit" button.
- Click on "Firmware Upgrade" under the option "Utilities".
- Click on “Browse” and select the bin file that you have downloaded.
- Click on “update” and follow the wizard.
- After updating the firmware, restore the router to factory defaults by clicking on "Restore Factory Defaults" under "Utilities".
- Reconfigure the router.
Please follow the steps given below for configuring the router:
- Connect the computer to the "LAN" port on the router and connect the modem to the Internet/"WAN" port, using Ethernet cables.
- Take a paper clip, insert the paper clip in the reset hole of the router and hold it for 15 seconds.
- The power light will flash and then come back "ON" solid, indicating that the router is being restored to factory defaults.
- The corresponding lights on the front of the router should be lit up.
- On the computer, check if you have an IP address in the range of 192.168.2.x.
- If not, specify a static IP address, gateway and "DNS" address by following the steps given in the link-
http://web.belkin.com/support/kb/kb.asp?a=2824
- Log on to the router web interface by typing in http://192.168.2.1, in the address bar of your browser.
- By default, the password is blank.
- Click on "Connection Type" in the left hand column under "Internet WAN" heading.
If the connection type is Dynamic (cable):
- Choose "Dynamic" and then click on "Next".
- Type in your “Host Name”, if your Internet Service Provider has provided it. Else, leave it blank.
- Click on "Change WAN MAC Address".
- Click on the button "Clone".
- Click on "Apply Changes".
If the connection type is PPPOE (DSL):
- Choose "PPPOE" and click on "Next".
- Enter the user name and password given by your Internet Service Provider.
- Save the settings.
- Click on the "Home" link at the top of the screen.
Internet Status should show "Connected" on the top right hand corner of the web page.
If the problem persists, please get back to us with the following information:
1. Type of connection provided by your ISP (Is it PPPOE, Dynamic or static).
2. Name of the Internet service provider (ISP).
3. Version number of the router. You would find the version number on the bottom of the device. It would be a number in a series of thousands with a prefix “ver.”.
4. If the internet connection is stable on the computers using the router?
5. If the HTC Touch detects and connects to other networks in the neighborhood?
Lilburd, if you need further assistance please feel free to write back to us and we will be happy to assist you.
Regards,
Belkin Technical Support.
That really is strange. The way I see it, WLAN is a standard. It's like BT, any headset should work with any BT phone, as would any wireless device work with any wireless device
Maybe force the router to only broadcast in G (or even B) and see what happens? (I know, I'm reaching now )
Tried everything so far, no success. Even with no security enabled.
same problem here, Very Annoying, tried every thing
HTC Diamond doesnt connect to WiFi!!!!!

Utter nonsense...
I just got my Touch Diamond from Sprint and am having the same issue. I have a Belkin N+ Router that is in g/b/n wireless setting.
The phone just simply will not see the SSID even if you put the settings in there manually. What it does see however is the guest SSID my router emits and connected to it without any issues. The guest account is a feature of my router gives friends access to the web but denies access to internal network.
Out of curiosity changed my routers wireless bands to only G/B and all of a sudden my phone can see the network. Unfortunately for me I rely on the N part of my network to connect my laptops and do streaming HD so leaving it on G/B is not acceptable.
I just connect via the guest account, anyways its not like my phone would have been able to see the internal home network anyways.
Just my 2cents
I have the same issue.
Used to use a D_Link G router, but recently upgraded to a belkin N-draft one.
My laptop connects on G, and my desktop on N, so I can't switch N off and just use G.
Anyone found a solution yet? It's bugging the hell out of me!
I posted a fix on page one that should work. You have to update your firmware.
Did u all using any encryption security?
128bit WEP - touch have a problem of connection
64 bit WEP - works
have you enabled easypairing, (WiFi easypairing : Enabled) if so turn it off or press the required button sequence on the router to connect.
