Use a XDA2i with 3g Modem - Networking

I have a XDA2i that works fine and as it should. I also have a Nokia 6630 3g phone on Orange, with the new phones comes one of there "try befor you buy" things where i get 1GB of 3g data per month for three months for free.
What i am after is to know if its possible to use the XDA2i to view the web and the 6630 as a bluetooth 3g modem, Just like years ago when you would have a old Ipaq with no phone built in and usae your mobile for the dial up or GPRS access.
Thanks
John

My XDA2i has bluetooth version 1.0.3900 but the bluetooth profile i am after is "connect to a mobile phone" or something like that so i can do a DUN connection and use the Nokia 6630 as a modem.
Have they removed this option from the PDAs with phones built in thinking that it would not be used.
Please has anyone any ideas
Thanks
John

Using 3rd party gprs over bluetooth

Hi guys. Here's something that has been bothering me all weekend and i hope you can help.
In my XDA II i have an O2 genie sim but for some reason i can't get it to connect up to GPRS - but never mind because I have an SE P900 with a Contract Orange sim that has GPRS bundle
So what i want to happen is the XDA II to connect to the P900 via bluetooth and use the P900s GPRS connection.
Is it possible?
Cheers

JAM as GPRS modem - some problems

hi everyone!
i've seen the same post ealier (~4 weeks ago) but don't found decision in there. So asking for again if somebody already found it.
Problem:
I use JAM as a GPRS modem via bluetooth. After voice call receiving JAM close both bluetooth and GPRS connection. So to contnue my work i have to reconnect manually from laptop
Before JAM i've used different phones by SonyEricsson (from T39) for over 4 years and hadnt never meet with this problem.
I've tried to find somethin that may help to decide this prob in GPRS and bluetooth settings of JAM but nothing
and one more questions:
is any software instead of standart WModem, witch always on and ready to connection without any manual operations like starting Wmodem. Soft making my JAM featured as any simple _ordinary_ phone like SE T610 for example?
thanx in advance for your answers (and sorry for bad english

FAX

Is it possible to send a Fax with the Tytn? Or with the Laptop to use the Tytn as a Fax-Modem?
Fuzzibär
yes, it is posible.
You would require CSD (DATA CALL) services enabled on your GSM account. Mobile terminated and Mobile originated. Talk to your carrier data support services.
Once enabled, connect your TytN to your laptop over USB or BT in wireless modem mode.
on your desktop computer configure dialup connection using yout TyTN as modem.
om Tytn:
start--> settings --> CSD Line Settings:
choose:
modem mode: V.32
connection element: non-transparent
Soft reset your device for new settings to become effective.
@SecureGSM I tried your procedure on my Universal but the Windows XP computer does not recgonize the Universal modem as a fax modem.
Probably the Universal modem is not fax compatible. I am surprised that the TyTn uses a fax compatible modem. Actually this procedure has worked for me on my Nokia 6600 but never on the Universal. I have got my service provider to enable both Fax and Data service and I can connect to the internet with the CSD connection.
Regards
Cingular no longer supports CSD
According to Cingular Customer Support, Cingular does not offer CSD capability any longer. This service was discontinued in December of 2005.
My operator still offers CSD, and I wonder, is it necessary to do it through a computer? I mean, can't the Hermes send a fax all by itself?
My pre-upgrade 8525 showed as an HTC Modem in Control Panel / Phone and Modem Options / Modems tab before upgrade. Now it doesn't. It's that darn Internet Sharing app, which actually works great and gave 725 kbps here near DC one morning on 3G. Wow. That's fast.
You see, it appears Cingular removed WModem.exe and the help and shortcut files from the upgrade. I tried WModem.exe from my SX66 and it ran but it did not show up as a modem. That's probably because of registry or the hardware port for the modem differs from SX66 (Blue Angel) to 8525 (Hermes).
SO.....
Do any of you pre-upgrade 8525 owners have WModem.exe at minimum from your My Device/Windows directory? Can you share it here? (It's an invisible system file on a Winows PC. Turn on Tools / Folder Options / View / Show system files to see it and transfer it)
If you can do this, I will try a wireless fax on Cingular with the 8525. I did send wireless faxes on Cingular with my SX66, but they each cut off at the same page position, about 1/5 down. Cingular credited months of CSD when I explained that fault.
Yes, wireless faxing is possible. As stated above, your account must be provisioned with CSD from Cingular for $3.99 / month. I have had that since way back in 2005 or 2004 and Cingular confirms they will not market CSD to new accounts or provision CSD to existing accounts; you have to be grandfathered in, and even then support is nearly nonexistent.
I work with a volunteer group and fax PIHI under HIPPA regs to the front desk during meetings. That's my fax use; it's tethered.
P.S. 2007-11-18: Cingular 3rd tier tech support has ironed out most problems with CSD as I continue to learn about wireless faxing. I found a Cingular ROM of early release on the web but it won't load, most likely because the 6.0 Professional ROM has a 2+ bootloader, but we (our Cingular Family) have one upgrade avaialble, so I'll get an 8925, which an HTC rep promised has got the Wmodem app, saying "I've got one here in my hand, and it's there". The BT modem doesn't fax. I am exploring ETSI modem standards and learning my extended AT codes like AT+GMM, etc. I used the Motorola RAZR belonging to my Cingular Family primary account holder to send a complete wireless fax the other day, so I know CSD is working. I'm working to set up intenet connection sharing on my home PC by dialing home but that's not free, like it is with a T-mobile My Faves account. Slow and steady progress like the CSD service itself. A call from Cingular 3rd tier to me is scheduled for [email protected] EST to finalize this service. I"ll ask for a year's credit of CSD because the rep admitted the account was misprovisioned.

I grandfathered my CSD line and still have it, but now...
I have a Russian Ring Central desk set on Phone Works 2004 on Windows XP Tablet PC edition inside a VMWare virtual machine with 4 Intel i5 cores and 2.9 GB of RAM on a Samsun XE700T1A-H01 Slate to connect with, *and* the AT command set from Option.
What fun.
Pluck low hanging fruit.

Fax, Answering machine, or Internet for 56k modem

OK I got a NIB Socket CF 56k Modem on ebay for next to nothing. I couldn't pass it up. BTW its a v.92 and I have a Dell AXIM X50v
1st. I want to access the internet when I'm traveling or in an emergency though dial up. I will spend about $6 a month for it if I have too. Who supports this kind of service? My broadband provider has free dial up but they have a propietary dialer you have to activate that isn't for WM. Anyone know what company's I can look at? I got onto the free new england dial up no problem. But I'm in Florida AC(813).
2nd Is there any answering machine software I can get? The cards supposed to support caller ID etc....
3rd Is there any kind of fax software I can get to receive faxes while I"m mobile?
Anyhelp would be greatly apreciated.
thanks guys

1 not sure what it is you want to do a pda cant use an external old analog modem
and one cant connect to a normal analog modem service with a pdaphone
one can connect with a laptop to an analog modem service and connect to the laptop with the pda.
but if one is traveling in other countries and connect to an isp at home it will cost alot

So far the best solution seems to be dial4less.com here in the states. They say there fully PPC compatible and don't use dialers. Covers a lot of the U.S. And they have a 25 hour a month plan for 5.99 a month.
I'm gonna play with the i secretary. Now I just need to find a fax program. Any other ISP's I should look at lemme know. I'd love to get 5 or 10 hours a month for cheaper.
ok I found a great fax program for a cf 56k modem too. Its called KSE True Fax 2004 3.01v. I tried other versions but they only worked with WM phone editions. This will work with a normal PDA with a compact flash modem.
