I am trying to configure my XDA2 to connect to my PC and surf the internet via a BT connection. I can Sync via BT but when I try to set up my connection it keeps asking for a phone number despite me saying it is over a Bluetooth connection and my IP is broadband. Sorry if this has been asked but I did search for any info on this.

Why do you need to setup connection for since it's already connected with ActiveSync via BT? Basically once you get connection between your device & activeSync, that's all the step you did. Unless a firewall has stopped your device from accessing to the internet; if it's the case, create exception for your activeSync, and retry browsing with your device.
hope this helps.

thanks for yor reply, Each time I try to connect the the interneet on my device it keeps trying to connect via GPRS and not through my PC via BT....
Go to ActiveSync, open the options menu & go to Rules tab.
At the bottom, you will find Pass Through Conenction, make sure its set to The Internet and not Work

I'm having a similar problem and have effected the setting as above, however IE on my IIs says "the page you are looking for cannot be found". My computer connects fine and I have the same issue when trying to connect the device via WiLan, although I do connect to the network.
I've been trying to fiddle with the settings for a few days now but no success...anyone out there got any ideas.
Many thanks
I have mastered it now, I sync using BT on my device, leave it connetced, close Active sync on my XDA 11, Click on IE and the device connects through my PC, super duper.........
Thanks, this is what i am looking for now. I will try it
i can now only online with cable, not through Bluetooth connection
go into the advantage settings for connections
there you should be able to change the network back to my isp insted
of my network
bluetooth-internet
Hai...iam new here..i have got O2mini and would like to connect to internet via bluetooth...
i try using usb cable and activesync program to serve internet and its working.
...i succesfully connect my pc and ppc via bluetooth by using ppc activesync but when try connet to internet its still go to gprs..
pls help me...TQ
like i said again and again in this thread it's all about which network is picked in advantage settings under network connections in systems
I also tried to make a connection to the internet with activesync and usb. But with my mda doesn't work. iexplorer says the page you are looking for cannot be found. But my ppc says "connectivity the internet Pc connection". What are the settings on your ppc, so i can check?
Somebody help me.
test with ping
and maybe messenger to see if it's a dns issue
and if people use pocketplus they prob should make sure that it's not set to close insted of minimizing otherwise the connection would most likely be closed when they close activesync
Thank you very much. You solved my problem.

I used to have it and running fine on my ppc but i uninstalled it because not many of my friends use skype. So now that there's free skype out calling i thought i'd give it a go. I reinstalled it, version 2.0.0.51, and when i attempt to connect it warns me "Skype needs an internet connection to function. Do you want skype to try to connect to the internet through a cellular connection? Warning: Your mobile service provider may charge for an Internet connection. Please contact your provider for pricing."
I click Yes then another warning comes up "Unable to connect to the Internet. Please chec your network settings." When i click No it just doesn't try to log in.
This happens when i'm connected through wifi and activeSync via USB. Any one know whats wrong?

try to launch pocket ie first and when you are already connected in GPRS/Edge then try to connect your skype. . . that works for me but i hope there's more easy step than that. . . without permanently connecting to the GPRS/Edge

Hi everyone,
I had the same problem. I've installed Skype, and used it once through GPRS/HSDPA. Then, I've used it through Wifi. It still worked, but the next time I tried to connect through GPRS/HSDPA I had the "Unable to connect to the internet" issue.
Here is what I did to fix it:
Connect the phone to the PC with ActiveSync and open the explorer. Make sure Skype is not running. Browse to the directory \Application Data and delete the Skype subdirectory. This folder contains your personal settings. Next, connect again to Wifi, and start Skype. You will now get the initial setup of Skype, and I can connect. (I could not connect without connecting to Wifi for some reason) Now, instead of logging out, I clicked on "Menu" and "Quit". After disabling Wifi, I restarted Skype and tried to connect. this time I again got the message if I wanted to connect through a cellular connection, but this time I could connect after clicking "Yes".
So this worked for me. I don't believe it is a permanent solution however. Let's wait for the next time the program c***s up.
Cheers,
Wim
hey guys heres abit of unusal question? (to be honest i dont think any of us ask any usual questions )
anyway what im trying to do is find out if there is a way to force a pda when its trying to connect to the internet to first check if internet is avaible through active sync (cradle or usb cable) then to check if WIFI is avaible then if thats not avaible to use gprs - but to use gprs as a last resort.
so the way it will work is an application needs to connect to the internet it first is forced to check for a connection through active sync if thats not avaible then to see if there can be a wifi conenction established if that fails then to connect to gprs and in the order.
i was hoping i could find what scrpits are used when the connections are established and then make a script to run the will force the device to do this.
Or even if there is a reg edit that I can do that will allow me to get this done? (would regedits be possable for this)
Id appericate your thoughts on this guys?
That's how it does work, doesn't it? At least, that's how mine works...
mine tends to connect to whatever it was connected to first - e.g. if I have messenger open via GPRS and then connect to my WiFi network, it will still use the GPRS for it's internet connection. Even if I plug it into the PC, it still uses GPRS.
This can be costly.
Hello,
I'm in a strange situation where my HTC Blackstone (or sometimes my HTC TytnII) is far from my notebook and connected to another PC via USB which work as internet gateway.
Here in Italy HSDPA/UMTS connection is very poor and very often internet connection goes down and I need to restart it manually.
Is there a way to remotely startup internet sharing connection???
At this moment I'm using MyMobiler through activesync. When internet goes down I disable device LAN interface (this cause activesync to automatically startup) and through mymobiler I restart internet sharing connection.
I hope you can suggest me a better way to do this!!!
in other words...
it would be great if I could use my htc blackstone as modem... so that I could start connection each time I want.
Actually through ICS you can use ActiveSync OR ICS...
Hi guys,
I posted once similar thread, but may be in wrong section.
My situation is following: Since some time, some apps are not able to connect to internet.
1. When I'm connected through WiFi, apps like QIP, IM+, they are just saying that there is no network available. Other programs like IE, Skype work perfectly.
2. When I'm not connected anywhere, IE and Skype on launch automatically start GPRS/3G connection and work fine. QIP and IM+ do not even attempt to start GPRS/3G connection and again cry for not available network!!!
So is it possible to debug this problem somehow? to find the place (may be registry?) where to change connection settings for IM+?
