Has anyone succeeded in using GPRS over XDA II from a Mac? - Networking

???
I've created a virtual serial port on the Mac, and installed generic GPRS modem scripts. This got me as far as having the PowerBook "wake up" the XDA and it appears like it tries to dial, but always fails.
The error message varies. Most often it is "A modem error occurred. Please verify your settings and try again." Sometimes I get "The connection has failed. Please verify your settings and try again."
It is interesting to note that the Mac (PowerBook G4 17" 10.3.5) doesn't recognize the XDA as a mobile phone. It sees it only as a PDA, and sees the service profiles:
Service Discovery
Voice Gateway (what the hell is that??)
SSA

stack?
Which bt stack are you using? I
tried the widcomm, and my powerbook can see that the xda2 offers network services, but the mac bt stack doesn't have that capability. I'm praying I can bridge the 802.11 in the xda3 to do this.

I know it has been months since you posted this but did you guys ever Solve the issue ?????

Nope. XDA II, pda2K, and C500 Smartphone testes, and none will work.

Getting iPass to dial using cellular line

I have installed iPass for Pocket-PC on my XDA-II.
When selecting "cellular line" as the dial-up device it reports "unable to get information about the device".
When dialing it reports "RAS Error 79: ERRROR_NO_CARRIER".
Any ideas? Anyone got iPass to work using dial-up on the XDA-II.
Speaking of iPass. Has anyone used this software via an SDIO WiFi card?
Has anyone successfuly installed iPass on XDA-II?
:shock:
I tried IPASS I was able to dial up but not connect.
I have done that with the XDA as bluetooth modem with a laptop.
I think the Ipass is for pocketpc 2002 not 2003.
Regards
Josef
iPass is indeed for PPC2002, not WM2003, but it loads.
Problem with iPass on XDA II is that I could not configure it to use the "cellular line" as its dial-up port.
iPass
I guess this thread is dead, but I am on this situation now.
I would like to make iPass work on my qtek s100.
I installed it but the "celular line" can not be used.
Anybody managed to make iPass work?
And anybody managed to make it work with a wifi card?
Thanks!

Macintosh - Again

Hi all,
I'm trying to share Mac internet connection via bluetooth with my Xda2 but i don't know how....i've found some howto but only for Palm...
Who can help me?
I cannot also connect the mac via modem bluetooth...(xda2) sic

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'.

XDA II as a GPRS modem for PC: troubles, observations...

Again I am returns to install mine Himalaya as Bluetooth, or USB, modem, to dialup into GPRS from mine XDA II and to recieve data to mine host PC. Another words - I need to make my Himalaya GPRS dialup modem.
There is ... (I was think so...) great utility in XDA II programs - Wireless Modem. It has setup screen for USB, Bluetooth and even IrDA/serial GPRS modem emulation. So - first I decided to make it USB modem.
I called up my Task Manager under XP and killed out WCESCOMM.EXE - I mean... I closed up ActiveSync (one way to do that ).
So - than I am run on XDA II Wmodem, choosing USB connection, press start, and put device in cradle (I also doing this revesed - putting in cradle that press start)... Anyway - computer finds HTC USB Modem (!). And goes in long long installing plug and play device procedure... Somewhy it is have thinking very long tima and that requests me for usbser.sys file which I can't find anywhere - on XDA II disk, on sites, an in Windows directories. I just find some other usbser.sys from another... motorolla cell phone and trying substitute it (what else me to do?! ) - and of course it's not working. How to complete installation of that fu.nny thing?
So - I am decided to go another way... Trying bluetooth. I have Logitech USB BT Hub, WIDCOMM Stack (days before I've tried some moves on Micosoft BT Tranciever/Microsoft BT Stack)... Devices trying to connect but... My PC Requests me for phone number to dial... I've entered *99***1# as I've done earlier for SE T610 mobile phone. There is no connet for what I've hope ... One time 'Connection' pseudo-lamp on PDA screen becomes yellow and PDA indicates so it in GPRS but desktop will not connecting... Staying in "Dialing..." and so...
Does anyone meets this happy steps? Does XDA II works as external GPRS modem for someone?
Some updates....
Some Updates:
at least I've found usbser.sys (one from WinME and it not working, than I've found one for Win2K, In WinXP install CD-ROM there is no usbser.sys somewhy - who knows why?).
Now (install of HTC USB Modem still take somewhy big lags when it searching for device description)... but after it asks for usbser.sys I pointed to it from Win2K, than install process successfully completed and device added.
So - I've setted up dialup connection thru HTC USB Modem, entered *99***1# as dial string and other parameters.
On Wireless Modem on XDA II screen 'lamp' connect becomes yellow, some blinkings of 'Send Data' and 'Recieve Data' also visible, and for now connections process stucks at dialup manager connection message:
'Dialing number...'
'Checking username and password...'
'Registering at network' <- HERE :-(
and after that dialing procedure aborted with a message: Error 734.
But before somewhy computer sends for it ATH command, here is log file of session between PC and XDA II with running Wireless Modem over USB:
ATZ;E0
OK
AT
OK
ATL0M1X4
OK
ATS0=0
OK
AT
OK
ATL0M1X4
OK
ATDT*99***1#
+CREG: 1
+CREG: 1
+CREG: 1
CONNECT
ATH - somewhy PC sends this for XDA II but byself still trying to connect and writtin 'Registering at network...' message... :-(
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and XDA II also drops connection and returns in Wireless Modem software to ungrayed buttons ' Start' 'Stop' so I can press them again but for now there is no effect of course.
Any suggestions?
I have used my Xda2 as a gprs modem. the dial number should be *99# it will then connect through. I made a new dialup conection on my laptop and just used this as my conection. I did not need to use the wireless Modem program on the device. I have not tried with usb but it worked fine with bluetooth. Have you set up your GPRS settings corectly on the XDA2?
Adam
2 Butler: GPRS, from XDA II byself, works great.
Tryed now *99#... Same result: Error 734: The PPP link control protocol was terminated... Let's go googling something about that PPP error... :0)...
He He! I've done that (PARTIALLY)! $). PPP error can be caused by authentication, so after I try PAP/CHAP I've got result.
Just go into XDA II Settings -> Connections -> GPRS setting and switch from PAP into CHAP authentication... After this through Bluetooth I've got connection.
Through USB still no result...
Somewhy after "Dialing", "Checking user name", "Registering in network..." connection on XDA II has been dropped (even yellow connection "lamp" on XDA screen goes out) ... :-(
but PC stills in "Registering in network" state...
At least a half-solution I have... Maybe this info will be userfull for society here.

Bluetooth Modem

I have just upgraded to WM6. I was using my Xda Exec as a blutooth modem for my laptop. But there is no dial up service in the new Rom. I am unable to use it as modem anymore. Can somebody, please help me to use it as modem? When I pair it with my laptop there is only one service option "Network Access Point" is available and when I try to connect the following error msg appears "connection from (Phone)" is denied. I am using Blutooth stack by Toshiba (Dell 350).
Toshiba bluetooth stack doesnt work with WM6.0, upgrade to Vista and use the default MS bluetooth.
Thanks for your advice. Can I use usb cable to make WM6 as a modem? If it is, then how?
toshiba stack 5.10.06 works fine with wm6 and with reg hack u can use it as a router over bluetooth so you can connect more then one computer, im using dells 350 bluetooth .

I installed that version but still same situation..... "connection from (Phone) is denied". Can you please let me know how to connect?
The only way that I have got this to work is to
- connect from Internet Sharing on the PDA; then
- connect from PC
this will get a connection, but the IP/DNS settings in the PAN network seem incorrect (set to 192.168.81.1, but not gateway or DNS).
- while connected, set the IP address and DNS settings in the PAN Network driver on the PC to obtain automatically, and the connection should then work.
A pain...

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.
