Hi all and what a great forum this is being a new XDAIIi user it has help me to get started. The problem I am having is that I want to use the modem over the USB link to my laptop on XP for when I am traveling. I sort of have it working on bluetooth but don't much like bluetooth.
The problem is when I plug in and disable the connection on activesync, I then go to the XDA and wireless modem set this up but the Laptop doesn't find any new hardware. Hence stuck in adding the modem, does any one have any ideas?????????
The other question is can the wireless modem be used over the wireless link as my laptop is wireless set up.
Thanks for you help as I know some one out there knows how to fix this problem.
Hi Ian, could you please post some step by step instructions of how you got your XDAIIi to act like a bluetooth modem, as I too want to use my XDAIIi as a GPRS Modem on my laptop when I am travelling.
I would greatly apprecaite a reply,

Internet via Bluetooth
Hello.
Try the "Passthrough" option in your ActiveSync settings. Once you've enabled this option, your PDA should use the internet (network) connection of your desktop-pc through ActiveSync.
By the way: I'm still looking for a bluetooth-dongle, for using the passthrough-option, the same way, as you described. Is there any special bluetooth-standart for the dongle, I have to look for? I'm asking because I'm a little bit afraid, that the whole bluetooth-connection doesn't work, with the "wrong" dongle.
Thanks much.
I have a Belkin Bluetooth dongle that I am going to try the activesync with later tonight when I get home from work. If it works, I can reply to this post if you like and let you know the model number of it ?
Rgds,
Rob.
Hi
Thanks, working now
I bought my dongle off Ebay
only a £10 + Postage of £3.00
And works perfect
Thanks

I have Imate pda 2 .I Want to use it as an external modem and connect my notebook ( Hp Pavillion 4141) to the internet via GPRS through bluetooth
Could someone please give me a step by step ( I am a novice ) instruction as to how to do this?
hi
did u find a solution ! ??? i can help if u r still Not able to do it.
i could do with a hand
i have the O2 XDAIIi. I followed the O2 instructions from there web site. Im connecting my Tosiba Laptop to the XDA via USB. i can get the laptop to see the xda as a wireless modem, it talks to the xda and the xda shows the 'flashing' modem lights on the screen. the problem i have is the laptop just says page cant be displayed. If you have idiot instructions that wouls be great. the laptop is running XP home edition.
Thanks Pete
I'm very interested in this, because I have "free" gprs at the moment, and if i could run my laptop VIA gprs (even if it is slow) it would free my life up alot!
I didn't even manage to get as far as my laptop seeing my XDA IIi as a wireless modem. Could you send me the link on the O2 site on how to get that far?
the site is here

scroll down and you find this and more

No when I came to set this up I found my XP didnt match the screen shots so did my best.
also it tells you to put the xda in modem opertation when in the cradle but you need to do it before for, so the PC sees it as a modem rather than xda

Hi
Someone knows where to get the HTC USB modem driver ?
I don't have thedisk
Thanks
I got it....should be tagged to this message!!
I also managed to get the thing working in the end...
I uninstalled the modem and the network link.
ran the modem prog on the xda, hit start plugged into the usb on the laptop
The laptop active sync disabled before plug in!!
Finds the HTC modem and installs
Then rather than setting up a connection I launched internet explorer, tool, internet options, connections
set one up through there...
YOU DO NEED to add the initalization string from the O2 instruction sheet for the serial connection though. otherwise it fails the connection
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","MOBILE.O2.CO"
also check out this place for more info on GPRS settup

thats exactly... the way it should be.. 100% working!
anybody out there with a macintosh who has done this??????
Just getting around to trying your instructions.
If this works I will be super happy. More happy than a Chocoholic in a chocolate wearhouse....or an alcoholic with the keys to a brewary.
this stupid board
just to clear this up for the USB mode you still need to enter the string. which can be found on the O2 instructions for the serial connetion of i posted there anyway.
Pete
I attempted to set it up, but got no-where really....
The instructions are very confusing.
tomw86 Ive added you to msm so you if you're on i can try and chat you through it.
Did you get the modem installed??
Here's how I did it.
Open active sync, File, connection settings.
Disable the USB option.
Close Active sync
fire up the XDA, Programs, WModem (wireless modem program)
Plug the XDA into the computer.
It should now find the modem and go through the give me a driver bit. Tell it to go manual and point it to where the drive is located, if it is the one I posted above then you will need to unzip it first (I had to zip it to upload onto here) or point to the location on the cd.
Let me know if you get that far. Ill try and sort out the rest. I got the modem connected and the laptop to talk to it, connecting to O2 but my IE wouldnt connect through it. I ended up removing the connection and staring again and it worked.

Hello everyone, Ive searched but come across no help
Im using a Cingular 8525 with the 2.06 firmware and windows vista ultimate. I cant get my computer to connect to it for Dial up networking. My phone allows it to use it (its an option on the phone/laptop when pairing) but it does not connect! It keeps giving me errors. I have tried to enable "Bluetooth DUN instead of USB in the internet sharing app, but nothing changes.
Also, how can I get Windows Mobile Device Center to access my phone via bluetooth? Thank you!!!
can anyone offer assistance? thanks
Anyone at all? This is driving me nuts! I even used two different bluetooth drivers in my vista pc...but still nothing. it works via usb, but not bluetooth. Help???
I got Internet connection sharing working via BT PAN with the new ROM and Vista. Never tried to use it as a modem though.

can you give us your step by step instructions on how to do that?
Id even be ok with getting it to read with a USB cable... After upgrading to WM6, I lost sync support for Vista...
I always take my time before jumping into anything new, On my experience bugs take a while to be sorted out and fixed.
My advice, stick to XP and WM5 for a year at least, then it would be a lot safer to upgrade.
Hi All,
I'd like to use my Hermes as an USB modem for my laptop. I have checked the net and found some articles about it.
But, it says that I have to use wmodem application on my Hermes. At this moment I have a HTC 2.11 ROM on it (I have changed my T-Mobile hungarian, because it was a piece of ****), and I can't found this Wireless Modem application.
Can anyone help me to solve this USB modem issue?
Modem Driver and Manual D838Pro
Thank you very much.
But I need the PPC WModem application, because it is missing from my ROM installation, or maybe I'm so stupid to find this.
can someone post the procedure or software in english for wireless modem for hermes!
thnks
wmodem is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306041&highlight=WMODEM
This is how I do it.
I just connect it through internetsharing.
Disable Active Sync and see that you have a local network to your windows mobile. Just Start webbrowser.
Works great for me.
Hey!
I'm new to all these great programs, so could someone explain to me how to use the WModem, what I can do with it, and what it is for?
Thanks in advance!
Why bother when you can do it much easier with Internet Sharing. Just plug in the USB cable. Starting Internet Sharing and off you go.
Agree, using Internet Sharing is the best & easiest way to go!
o rly?

im using the wm6 rom for htc universal...
tried using the internet sharing as the wireless modem is a bit complicated,
everytime i try it, i turn off activesync and then is says the device is not recognised and nothing happens... im on 3 mobile if it helps...
my friend has a mda vario 3 and his works jus fine on t mobile... any help?
I used the internet sharing in my hermes, but seems there is just one problem that is really irritating. Everytime, after connecting, I have to soft reset the phone because the disconnect button will not respond. The only to disconnect is through the gprs/3g soft bubble icon near the signal strength. After that when I try to start the internet sharing again, it will just not work. Anyone have the same experience?

You don't say which rom you are using? If you are running WM6 then you have the same problem I have. Internet sharing just refused to see the phone (in my case an XDA Exec - HTC Universal) as a modem. I found help here by searching. There are posts on this in particular complaints that Microsoft pulled Dial Up Networking (DUN) support from WM6 and some later WM5 roms in favour of Interner Sharing . This forum has help on how to reinstall DUN via a reg hack and it worked fine for me. Go search.
If this is indeed your problem, here is the link which worked for me...
