Using XDA2i as a Modem

Hi All,
been reading and searching for info but still cant find the relevant stuff..... Okay, can I connect my PC to my XDA and use the internet via GPRS? I have done this years ago using another phone but for the life of me I can't work it out :shock:
Can someone tell me the procedure for this? At the moment I surf around on the XDA but would rather just link the PC to it.
Cheers,
Gary

here's some notes i wrote myself about how to use the phone as a modem over bluetooth.
How to for bluetooth modem.
(1. Delete both blutooth profiles on the devices
2. On the pda go Start -> settings -> System -> bluetooth settings, and tick both incoming and outgoing port options.
3. Create a bluetooth connection.)
4. Go to the wireless modem on the pda, choose bluetooth in the drop down box, and click start
5. click the ariel bit, and connect to gprs
6. on the laptop double click the xdaII dial up connection, and make sure the bluetooth modem #3 is chosen
7. click dial. done!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if you have both incoming and outgoing ports on the xda ticked, then in your bluetooth setting on the pc, you should be able to go to the bluetooth devices window, click the devices tab, select your pda, click the properties button at the bottom of the window, then in the resulting window click the services tab. make sure DUN (dial up netowrking.. i think this is one of hte options there) is ticked, and click ok. it should install a bluetooth modem driver thing in your network connections. this is the modem you use to dial out. you'll have to create your own dial up conenction using this bluetooth modem, i think it should be pretty standard, make the number to dial *99#. just incase you have problems with this modem, here's the settings of mine:

Driver tab, Driver details:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\bthmodem.sys

1)On HTC BT setings delete device "PC"
2)on PC in Windows Explorer unpair your device "HTC"
3)read my 1 post and try it! I liltle bit change it & try 3time, all works
Good luck

THANKS OF NEW BUT NOTHING
I HR the pda and reinstall AS and BT SW
Thanks

I'm not sure what i did but it works - that's all what counts
By the way - what is BT soft ?

mine is widcomm
regards

did you use comport 20 for you activesync connection?

no i haven´t got 20 port available ...
thanks of new

I think I've got it
But it's a little tricky
1. Delete all connections on Pc and PPC
2. Start the Setup-Assistent and choose I want to find
3. Initiate Paaring
4. Choose ActiveSync without secure connection.
5. Set com20 if possible.
6. Please go to your ppc properties on your pc and allow active sync
If you coose com20 you can quit here, if not try this:
7. Start->Run->Regedit
8. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WIDCOMM\BtConfig\Services\
9. Search the folder with Name=ActiveSync (I have 0010)
10. Change the ComPortNumber to 20.
11. Search with your PPC the services on your pc and take activesync
12. Go to the preferences of your bluetooth-enviroment of your pc and take the tab local services. Now change the com-port number of your activesync service to an existing one (I have 4).
Now it should work

What if my computer does not show Activesync as a bluetooth option. I can get PIM synchronization but no Activesync. How do I go about adding Activesync as a service my computer can use?

I think the Activesync service is nothing else then a serielle connection called "ActiveSync" with com-port 20. Just create this on manually.

i think tomorrow we have a new rom version, a uninstall AS, and HR to the ppc, then i do this test...
thanks

I have the same problem, when I try to connect from the PPC it says there's no partnership with an AS enabled PC. And when pairing / updating services, the PPC sees serial and handsfree services on the PC, but no AS. Partnership is established, it works fine over USB.
Like miguelromerom I also use the Widcomm stack. Mine is urrently version 5.0.1.1400. I tried several older versions as well.
On the PC I have an incoming bluetooth serial port at COM 4, which is named "My ActiveSync". Secure connection not checked. AS 4.1 is set to allow connections on COM 4. The service on the PC is active.
On the PPC I had optionally configured serial ports: incoming (7), and outgoing (6) to the PC. Set the non secure. Though I'm not sure if either of them is required. I suppose we're all agreeing the port numbers on the PPC bear no relation to the port numbers on the PC?

I also tried this. I still see no AS service from the PPC when doing this. It is not possible to select COM20 in the AS 4.1 connection settings.

ActiveSync via Bluetooth
I am not sure how it will go with Wizard, but with Magician it help me.
I found this step, but I forgot the origin. So actually no permission from the author. I share this with hope can help others. Hopefully the author understand.
-----
1)On your PC go to the Control Panel and select "Bluetooth". In the "Options" tab, make sure all the ticks are on. You'll now see a little bluetooth icon on your system tray. Makes it easier to access in the future. Your PC should also be ready to be found as long as you ticked the fist box in the step above.
2)On your Jam, Go to Start, Settings, System (Tab), Bluetooth Settings. On the screen that comes up you ONLY want to hit start. Leave the incoming and outgoing checkboxes OFF!!!
3)You will now be taken to the partnership screen, where you just follow the instructions to add your PC. Follow through until you hit finish. Close everything down until you're back at the today screen.
4)Back to your PC, double click on the Bluetooth icon in your system tray. Go to "Com Ports" (Tab) and click "Add". Choose incoming. A You'll see an incoming port added to the list (probably be the only item there). It should look like "COM X Incoming"
Remember what number is after COM. Close all windows, making sure you hit OK or Apply where you have to.
5)Open Active Sync on your PC. Hit File, Connection Settings. Enable the first tick, and select the COM port you had to remember in the previous step. Hit OK
6)Open Active Sync on your Jam. Choose Tools, Connect Via Bluetooth.

Bluetooth File Acceptance Request

Hey guys,
I just got my X1 and it seems like once my bluetooth is turned on, it'll accept any files other parties sent me without asking me to accept it or not. How can i disable the automatic acceptance and actually make it ask me Yes or No for accepting files? Thanks!

Two things you can do:
Go into start, settings, connections, beam.
Uncheck Receive all incoming beams.
And/or
Go into start, settings, connections, bluetooth.
Now go to the security tab and check the authentication required box.

hey buzz,
I have tried both ways and my x1 still accepts the file automatically without asking me. it'll just notify me after it's done. Does that happen to anyone else?

Yes it happens.
And it has always annoyed me that it doesnt ask me first before accepting files.

I have this problem on my touch hd - cant get any answers from anyone

Once paired to your own heatsets and whatever; then,
Comm mgr, settings, mode, uncheck 'make this device visible to other devices'.
Ive always had mine set this way, why would you leave it always on show ?
And the new seus uk rom rox , No problems so far.

[Q] HP iPAQ 914c Bluetooth Problem

i cant recieve or send files using bluetooth
what it could be?

Bluetooth problem
i am also facing the same.

Hi.
You have activated "receive all incoming IR and Bluetooth" on menu -> Settings -> Connections -> transfer?
To me, sometimes asks me to link to phones before sending files.
Test that program: TotalCommander, and see if it can send the files.
Hope I help you
