Hi,
Ok after the breakthrough regarding the ROM updates for QTEK 1010 and it was first revealed here on xda-develpers.com we have some new options in the QTEK now one of them is the WM.
Did anyone manage to use the Wireless Modem via IRDA because its not working the first thing is that the computer is seeing the device on infrared but not as a modem and i dont have an *.inf file to indentify it. If anyone managed to use his QTEK or any XDA via infrared to connect his laptop to the internet using GPRS plz explain how.
thanks
to irda on win2k/xp

Install software at own risk, but this exposes a permanent COM port using IrDA. Also nukes Wireless Link in the process.
Setup a manual modem, select the COM port from above, presto!
Ummm its a good idea but i am not sure if this will work on Windows XP... what do you think?
it does
it does, but as with all things apply with care
Tried it
I tried this a long time ago, IRCOMM2k works on XP but the problem is that i couldn't figure out how to setup a IR generic Modem working on that port.
Yes please, this is a good article,
I installed the ircomm2k on my XP, but how to configure the connection from my laptop to connect to the internet via my XDA PDA as an external modem?
to setup xda as a modem
1. Install Ircomm. note which com port is assigned as permanent.
2. Add new modem: standard 33600
3. Select com port from item 1 as the com port of choice
4. Edit modem profile in devices settings, in Extra Initialisation Commands add AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","apn name"
5. VERY IMPORTANT: set flow control to OFF
6. Set port speed to 115200 ONLY
Set up a Mobile Web net connection as per your operator
Select your above modem
Align xda with irda port; select start on Wmodem app
Double click Mobile Web connection.
Surf. It's OK but not as fast as a GPRS card.
OR you can wait for O2 to eventually post some instructions...
Thank you very much for your feedback
I did all what you asked me to do, but its not working it gave me an error message:
Error 692: There was a hardware failure in the modem (or other connecting device).
I replaced AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","apn name" BY AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","apn01" same as Im using in my PDA. Am I right?
Something I didn't understand in your reply:
(Set up a Mobile Web net connection), you mean a normal dial-up connection?
One more thing, what do you mean by (select start on Wmodem app)?
Do I have to do anything in my PDA before I connect from my laptop? or do I have to do anything in my PDA configuration or connections settings?
Please help me, I want to use the Gprs on my laptop, no need to pay for 2 services, one for the PDA and other for my laptop

"select start on Wmodem app" - this means go into the Wireless Modem application on the xda, select IrDA (if thats now you are connecting) and then tap the Start button.
When you've done that, go the the DUN connection on laptop and connect as you normally do.
Unfortunatly I dont have "Wireless Modem application" on my XDA from where I can get it?
I thought the command was:
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","apn name","",0,0
I don't know about the command but what Im sure about it is that wModem application is mandatory, so from where I can get it?

Hi
The wireless modem will be available in the next ROM update from the xda team. I understand that this will be released in the next couple weeks - they are in the final stages of testing.
We will highlight the new ROM on our homepage with a link to the downloadable files.

Hmm... really good question. ME is an update to 98 as I recall, but a clunky upgrade.
Way to check: Setup a new modem. When it asks which COM port you wish to use, if you can select Virtual Infrared COM port then it should work fine.
Get the instructions at www.o2.co.uk/xda on Help and Support.
Anyone know what the T-Mobile USA network connections for using WModem are?
For UK O2 they are:
Primary DNS - 193.113.200.200
Alternate DNS - 193.113.200.201
User name - O2Web
Password - password
Has anyone used wmodem in the US with T-Mobile as a service provider?
Thanks,

Qtek as wireless modem
I also have oldish ME Laptop computer. I did exactly as described on O2 support site. It does not work. The modem on laptop immediately disconnects saying it's not responding properly.
I have tried several cooked versions of the 4..00.16 Eng T-Moble and the 4.00.11 ENG WM2003 roms and niether one installs the WModem app. Any ideas why?
I have a T-Mobile version of the PPC, radio stack 6.24
WM with old laptop computer
It worked for me. I could connect my oldish ME notebook computer to internet over gprs using WM in xda. I used the extra string from o2 and just changed the access point name.
It goes as this:
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","apn"
It works, but the WM just stops responding the moment you disconnect the connection from PC. The PC waits and waits for the confirmation and then hangs up saying no reponse. But as long as you are connected it works very well.
Hi Everyone,
I have desparately searched for the answer to the above question. Has anyone had success using the XDAII as a wireless modem on MAC OSX 10.3.7 ??
I believe I require a GPRS modem script. Where can I find the appropiate files and the procedures to get it up and running.
I previously used a nokia phone, connected by bluetooth and dialled *99# (Vodafone AU). The Mac doesn't recognise XDA as mobile phone but PDA only.
I bought the device for this application. Would appreciate your help.
I am running:
ROM: 2.06
Radio: 1.18
Mac OS9/OSX - Mobile Phone Scripts - GPRS
This guy has a number of modem scripts for the mac and a bit of information on how to configure 'Internet Connect'.
http://www.taniwha.org.uk/
I'm still trying to get my newly acquired XDA to work with a PowerBook G4 (10.3.7) but with no success. It was working fine with a SonyEriccson.
As you mentioned the Mac will only recongise the XDA as a PDA not as a wireless modem - this obviously has something to do with it - though I haven't tried running the wireless modem software then bonding with the mac worth a try.
Let me know if you have any success.
I have a XDA II with 2k3 which is getting connected to GPRS Internet. I have also configured my HTC modem in XP.
Could someone help me with the USB modem dialer so that I can get onto Internet from my laptop thru HTC modem GPRS? It should ask for username, password and APN.
Thanks in advance

Sorry team.
I want a dialer...forgot to mention

For those,who want to connect via BT stack. Yes 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.
Hi, all.
I can't connect Qtek (neither 9000 nor 110) to Notebook via irda (win xp).
I run wmodem on Qtek as it's described in manual, and choose emulate wireless modem via irda, but windows doesn't recognise it as irda modem. It connects, but offer file transfer only.
I tried to setup modem manually on windows first - but which port should i select? It doesn't cleary mentioned in manual... In other words - who successfully connected Qtek with PC via irda, please tell me how.
Thanks.
P.s. Notebook easily recoginzes and installs Samsung mobile phone via IRDA and works perfectly. And Qtek connects as USB modem fine also.
Does anybody successfully used Qtek as GPRS modem via irda?
please help
im using my hd2 as a modem with usb connection , everything goes well , my phone get connect to gprs , my pc (WINDOWS 7) connect but no internet acsses.
whats the problem
Do you use the function "internet sharing"? It´s the easiest way to do what you want. Using it as modem via USB is not very practical...
