Hi and HEEEELLLLPPPPPP!!!!
Has anyone managed to connect the Mda Compact to a G4 Powerbook via bluetooth to access the internet on GPRS account??
I cant get the Apple to create a bluetooth dial up connection with the mda.....
Will a change in stack be useful eg bluesoleil / toshiba???
Are there any modem scripts for the mac??
Has anyone achieved this via PocketMac??
I am trying to connect a G4 Powerbook with Tiger to a unlocked UK T-Mobile MDA Compact runnung Qtec 1.12 English rom with big storage hack on UK Orange.
:shock:
sorry always wanted to use one of those emoticons.... :wink:
Any help would be greatly appreciated.....
Riz,
Have been trying the same with both QTEK 2020 (forgot HTC name) and S100 (Magician) both on panther & tiger. Haven't gotten past the Bluetooth issue. In terms of GPRS scripts http://www.taniwha.org.uk/ has some, but not for our favourite devices. Am desparate to get same sorted. Do believe HTC's Bluetooth implementation ha something to do with it. remember on my 2020, I did run a Bluetooth utility to increase BT functionality, but to no avail....
Sorry not to have been of more help

Welcome Mr. Apple ;-) I am also running on "the only real system". We have to wait for http://www.markspace.com/missingsync_windowsmobile.html Will not take longer than 2-3 month any more.
Thankyou guys for your responses desperate (sometimes girlie like) cry for help. In my quest I have found that there are many like us stuck in the void between ppc and osx.
I even tried creating a connection using virtual pc !! Desperate times etc .....I can’t wait to try this Missing Sync ..sounds too good to be real so I have Emailed the company with our queries.
Have any of you guys tried it yet ???
Thanks again
sorry should read "to my "desperate girlie like etc
will poof read next time

Actually the mark/space site says The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile will be available before the end of June, not 2 or 3 months.
So any day now.
BUT, I have read in another thread here that both mark/space and pocketmac programs promise a whole lot more than they actually deliver, and are buggy.
Are there no other alternatives?
i think that the panther version is available now for the MDA Qtec s100 etc and the tiger version will be in the form of a free update??
it will retail for 39.99usd...could be a costly experiment??
has anyone tried any of these products in the past???
please could you point out the thread where you saw the negative reports on pocketmac and missing sync
thanks
Yes, long time ago I used Missing Sync for Palm Clié. It was stable, simple and great. Im quite sure, the new version for my MDAc will be similar. Thats the reason why I already deleted PocketMAC from my Powerbook and don't sync anything till MarkSpace software is available.
If you have an old version from Missing Sync, equal if Palm, PPC or whatever, you can updrade for just 19 $
By the way, not very actual, but helpfull:http://www.markspace.com/support/remove_pocketmac.html But you also have to check everything manually and yourself, cause with Tiger there are new and more files less.
Hi Mr Macmax,
My knowledge of palm based systems is not to good. Please could you tell me ......
Did you sucsessfuly use the missing sync to connect the clie via bluetooth to your powerbook?
Did the clie allow you to use it as a modem to connect the powerbook to the net??
This is what i want to achieve with my MDAc and powerbook via a bluetooth connection. I am hoping to use the MDAc as a bluetooth GPRS modem for my powerbook.
I was wondering if the missing sync program would bridge that particular gap??
Thanks
Hi riz,
well it is a very long time ago I used Missing Sync for Palm, so I can't really remember what was possible and what not.
But it's important to know that we have 2 possebilities to sync our Baby on a MAC: MissingSync or PocketMAC. Last one is a, sorry, pain in the ass, so rests MissingSync.
If it will work like you described, well, als them. But I'm quiete sure it will work cause it already worked with PocketMAC. Otherwise it can be a problem regarding to the right phone driver. May have a look here for modem scripts: http://www.taniwha.org.uk/
Thanks for your advise Mr Macmax but i have already been down the script path trying generic and ipaq scripts in the hope to fool the G4...but its just too smart...
I am tempted to buy the panther version of missing sync that is available now.... i think?? set up panther on the powerbook and give it a go??
still....could be a costly experiment
BLUETOOTH TO BLUETOOTH.....WHATS THE BIG DEAL!!!! ....one of the teeth needs a filling!! is there a doctor in the house!!!!!
sorry....this is really starting to bug me.... :twisted:
hello again ....
Has anyone managed to create a Gprs connection with the MDAc and Mac via a SD Wifi card so the phone modem is used to connect the Mac to the net?
Also.....
Anyone have experience with GSG script creater ?? Could it be used to make a bluetooth Gprs script for the MDAc so the Mac recognizes the bluetooth modem???
http://www.macronsoft.com/pages/en/gsg.html
anyone ??
Did you use an AT String. This is neccessary for windows. Look for the AT String needed for your provider and paste it into the properties of your bluetooth modem. At least, this is the way it works with windows.
I have managed to get it working with XP. I am trying to get it working with a Mac G4 Powerbook
..thanks for trying though....
The thing is, it shouldn't depend on the Os. The SSA service is standardized, your stack will be the same as for windows I guess (Widcomm, isn't it?). The only thing you need to set is the AT string, the rest should be done by the profile itself (i.e. giving you a dialog where to enter the connection settings).
The problem is that the i can not get the Mac to recognise the MDAc as a modem... so i fall at hurdle one..
..and i am not to sure where i would enter the init string ??
The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile is out now . but . i emailed them with this issue and they kindly informed me that this software will not allow the mdac to be used as a bluetooth gprs modem.
its been a while but has anyone cracked this little nut yet ?
ross from
www.taniwha.org.uk/
has been trying to help me on this but my knowledge of the mac is far from expert
is there any way to connect the two devices ie usb , wifi etc ?
as far as the g 4 is concerned the jam is modemless ?

Dear All,
I've downloaded (from Vodafone mentioned in this Forum) the Blackberry connect Client (VPA Compact III) and I've installed it on my Tytn (with SIM as Blackberry company service and the Activesync BB on my PC) without any problems.
After the PIN syncronize, when I start the service on my Tytn, it works only for 2/3 seconds after that it goes automatically in NOT CONNECT. I've read the PDF document, and I've done the correct installation and so on ...
Where I worng ???
Is there anybody to use/work with the BB on Tytn ???
Is necessary to install the BB connect on Tytn with the SIM (with the BB serive active) present on Tytn ???
Please help me :roll:
Thanks a lot
Best Regards
Ciao, Cesare

During my tests, I've installed more BB connect versions on my Tytn, and it didn't work. Before to install the correct version one (here: http://support.vodafone.de/index_l3_2z.html#vpacompactIII), I've done a hard reset, I've installed the correct BB connect (2.1.2.16), I've installed the BB desktop 2.1 on my PC, I've set the company mail (Blackberry service instead of Internet instant mail), I've sync them and after that it works
P.S.:
I've got a company phone: Blackberry 7100v, and for my test I've installed the company SIM on my Tytn ...

hi
i have also a problem with my mda vario II. it cannot connect register to the blackberry server in our company. i test various files from vodafone and from xda-developers but with no sucess. everytime in the status field stand No Connection. But the gprs connection works fine when i use it with ie or other programs which uses it.
also i tested the sim in my old mda III where it works fine. i also deleted the account on the bes and createt a new one without sucess.
are there any settings that i have to make??
thanks
daniel
That's very strange :shock:
Have you tried with a hard reset, and install the correct BB connect :?:
Ciao, Cesare
today i tried it also to connect with blackberry. i made a complete reset of the mda varioII and installed the blackberry client from the vodafone site. but nothing changed, i already get no connection when i want to register to blackberry.
after that i called my provider(t-mobile austria) for help with my problem. there i get the information that there is no BB-client from them at the moment. they also said that my downloaded BB-client from vodafone will never work with my t-mobile device. but when i try this client with my mda pro and mda vario blackberry works perfect without any problems.
is there anybody who have a working mda varioII with a t-mobile rom and BB-client?
Great stuff... Don't normally post but just wanted to let you all know that the Vodafone Blackberry Connect software works a treat on my Dopod 838 Pro with Starhub in Singapore. Real push Lotus Notes e-mail from our company server in Houston.
Thanks a lot ,

Problems conecting to BES
I installed the BBConnect_PocketPC_BB_2.1.2.16 on my TyTN, the ActiveSyncInstaller2.1.1.9 on my desktop, syncronized with the BES, and the status does not show conencted, it says network available for a while and then gets back to not connected. I tried blackberry support, HTC support, Cingular support (which I verified that I have the blackberry connect unlimited plan active) and nothing. Can someone help me please.........
JaimeCS,
I had a similar issue... and found the oddest behaviour.
When I had a UMTS connection - it wouldn't connect at all...the BBC client tried to start a connection, then gave up. After about 3 attempts over a minute, it finally goes back to 'Suspended by User'.
Now, here's the odd part. When I tried this again from the Office, I'm out of UMTS coverage and only get EDGE, this time it connected ! I go back home to UMTS coverage and it fails again.
But now I'm on to the next problem. I get NO EMAIL whatsoever coming down... it just sits there... I've verified the server set up since I got a Blackberry to try it out (god, that HW is ugly).
Let me know if any of this helps ? plus if you get it connected using Cingular !!!
Cheers
Dave
I made work part of the problem, I manually switched the network and the band to GSM in the device, and the status is connected and the messages are not syncronizing with my BES. Blackberry support sais that Cingular needs to active the services. Then, I realized that I have two services from Cingular the unlimited PDA and the blackberry connect unlimited. I used to have the "G" in the screen because of the unlimited PDA plan and not from the blackberry connect. Cingulr removed the PDA unlimited plan from my account, and now I don't have neither internet not blackberry..... does anybody knows which is the correct blackberry plan in USA?
Hello Guys,
I'm stucked....I'm trying to install the BB client on my PDA. I'm a T-Mobile user and i'm using the sw's are supported by them..... they are trying to tell me that my hw is broken......Tell me if it can be true that a hardware which is capable for BB connection is working only under the OS which is published by the Operator????
for me it seems it will be the case but as I have a HTC PDA I do not want to Downgrade my OS to the T-Mob. one which I do not like......
I've found already one thread at the Wizzard site which is very similar to my case....
Thx'n advance,
Tg
What error messages are you getting?
The situation is the following:
After I'm inst. the BB client on the PDA I can see at the Service TAB:
service: Blocked- activesync connected.
Even if I'm trying to use the BB_DeskConn. sw. there is no result on the sync progress... no error msg. exactly what I can share you. The desktop sw is getting my BB_PIN so there is an up and running service.
If I'm trying to connect over the GPRS connection there is no IP signed by the provider PDA is loosing the IP immediatelly (AFAIK the first sync must be done via the PC).
My Operator does not have any idea about it they say I mightg have to use their provided OS.....my operator is T-Mobile. It is nonsense taht is why I've bought an unsigned tool.

What does the BB client status show when you are not connected to activesync?
try to connect via GRPS for 10 sec than says not connected. IP for certain sec's and than nothin'
Offical answer by the Operator in Hungary is the following:
HTC TyTN is not working with the BB service only if it runs with T-Mobile provided OS.

There are specific ROM/OS version, Radio version & BB connect version that will work, and generally unless the operator you are with supports BB connect, they wouldn't even point you towards another operator/provider's ROM/OS, so I think they are already doing you a favour...
yeah I can imagen that is what I'm looking for! Is that an idea if i'm gonna install a NON HTC version than or the cab inst. of the Operator is enough?
I've tested with a T-MOb ROM no result same error nothing happens the device cannot connect to the BB service. Anybody any idea?
So I have you guys a workaround:
If you have a not locked PDA than DO NOT use the Operator Provided BB connector i won't work.
For me the case is closed answer is:
BlackBerry connect 2.1.2.16 which is avaliable on the FTP
I don't understand what do you mean.
I have XDA Trion, never locked, with the newest HTC firmware, Blackberry connect from this FTP, but it still doesn't connect. Says Radio is Off.
which version of BB? b/c in my case BB 2...20 was not okay but the 2....16 was. Maybe your and my cases are different...
Hello
I am using Windows Mobile 6 and want to make a connection from my Pocket PC to the internet using my mobile phone on a Bluetooth connection, on Windows Mobile 5 I would using the 'Extra Dial String' part while making the connection to *99# but in WM6 it has disappeared therefore I cannot make any connections.
Any tips?
Ta!
Kev.
Hi Kev, no but I am also needing that, if anyone could help It will be highly appreciated...
Same here I'm afraid...
WM6 did remove DUN networking on favor of PAN. It has been hacked to get back DUN. I am on dial up tonight do not able to find links for you but look for a thread I started about TOMTOM and DUN and look for mfrazzz's response. Also you can look for menneisys (sp?) posting on pocket pc mag or somewhere where he details how to do the hack.
In WM6 is really easy..
It includes an application called "Internet Sharing" (it must be in programs).
To use it, you only have to chose in 2 combo boxes:
1- If you want to share the connection via USB or Bluetooth
2- Which network connection you want to share
Then tap on Connect, and then plug the USB cable (or connect via bluetooth).
After this, you phone would be recognized by windows as a network connection (the one you shared).
That's it...
Just keep in mind that if your connection uses a proxy, then you have to set this proxy in the program that you want to use in the PC too.

hey seems u trying to connnect to idea internet connection ! well i have the same connection on the go on my pc using my universal. hey guys if u ppl get to know about it do share how do to the hack i tried dearching but cudn find much
This was a well known problem that was discussed somewhere. If I remember correctly, the idea of the solution is pretty simple, but the implementation is rather tedious.
As a matter of fact, those connection settings including extra modem init strings are stored in the HKCU-Comm->RasBook-<connection name> registry under the keys "DevCfg" and "Entry".
If you export them in ASCII, you will know what I mean. They claimed that you can export these registries (esp the "DevCfg" key) from a WM5 device (with your init strings of course), and import it back to WM6. Things would then work as you wished.
But the trouble is you got to get a WM5 machine or someone to try to do it for you.
Hello, downloaded many great ROMS from the site and have just 1 ickle issue with WM6
Have a Artemis (MDA Compact III) and a Elf (MDA Touch) both running Windows mobile 6. My artmeis is using tomtom and unable to get live updates / traffic reports as the simcard slot is buggered so no GPRS connection. So Idea was too use my Elf to share the connection via GPRS using BT but no luck. Tried the BT DUN cab which did show DUN as a service on my Artemis. Added a new network connection setting, dial up as *99# but nothing is happening when launching a webpage - shows dialing *99# but connection keeps failing.
Hope someone can help
At the risk of sounding silly, the o2 orbit has a 2 year warranty, would it be possible just to get it replaced in an o2 store? (I don't think they've been out 2 years yet?)
handset not faulty ...this is due to the device no longer providing D.U.N as a service due to it being WM6 - basically I need to share my internet connection from 1 PDA to another
doesn't DUN require an active sim card to work tho?
saying that, i just had a quick look and i can make a new connection and select bluetooth as the modem type, unfourtantly i don't have another pda to try, but if its paired with another device would you be able to use the modem on the other device? or is that what you've been trying to do?
I only suggested the warranty as you mentioned the sim card slot was buggered, didn't mean to sound sarcastic! also was about to suggest wifi as an option but then realised that mda compact doesn't have wifi ...
Have you tried this ? I use it to access the web with a WM2003SE device to a WM6 device via bluetooth. I tried all of the other suggested methods/hacks and this is the only thing that works for me.
Hrmm i've been trying to play a multiplayer game via bluetooth with wm6 and found it impossible, is it possible to create a serial connection between to wm6 phones?
not sure if its a simular problem, just reading thru that thread now thanks
Problem is simple - have 2 wm6 devices, MDA Compact III has GPS which I use for TOMTOM but use my simcard in the touch as my phone (prefer to use it for making calls etc), Dont want to keep swapping my sim just to get traffic updates ...
