Hi, I just bought a MDA Vario and downloaded the software to sim-unlock it. I've been using it on Vodafone for a few days and have some problems:
Wi-Fi:
I can turn wireless on, but when I then go to IE to start surfing, it tries to connect using GPRS instead of Wi-Fi. How do I get it to use Wi-Fi instead?
Bluetooth:
I can Sync my device to my PC using Active Sync 4.1 over USB, but when trying to do this over bluetooth, I keep getting told that the device can't find a an existing Bluetooth partnership, even though I've set one up (several times)! What could I be doing wrong?
ROMS:
I've got the T-Mobile ROM on my phone, but I'd rather have a standard (non-network specific) ROM. Where can I download such a ROM? Would ther ebe any issues in overwriting the T-Mobile ROM with a Standard one? Which ROM is the "best"?
Regards,
Nirbho

If WiFi is on and connected successfully to the network, it should use WiFi. I sometimes find if I wander about, and the phone loses site of my Access Point without me noticing, the next time I request a webpage it will fire up GPRS. You say you're connected, but it sounds like the Vario doesn't think so. Are you sure you've got WEP/WPA keys correct, and that the Wireless AP isn't using MAC filtering? Have you been able to get onto the net with IE at all, or has it always tried to get out over GPRS instead?

When you pair the Vario with the PC, both ends will offer a list of Bluetooth profiles they support. When I tried with my laptop and a 3com BT dongle, despite it working fine with my old iPAQ, the Wizard didn't seem to think that the laptop offered the ActiveSync service (or maybe the laptop didn't think the phone did, I can't remember for sure). You need to make sure that the Vario (if that's the "device" that's complaining) believes the PC is offering ActiveSync as a Bluetooth service, or it will assume it's only paired with other phones, GPS's, headsets etc, but nothing with which it could activesync.

The ftp site here hosts a load of ROM's. I don't know of any that are noticeably better all around than any others. I have a Qtek phone, and although the later ROM fixes the BT voice-dial wake-up problem it also breaks, MMS and some bits of WiFi for some people. Others have installed the WWE version of a ROM and found that the keyboard doesn't match their hardware layout and some keys are wrong. They've then gone and broken button mappings trying to fix the keyboard problem. I know T-Mobile are the least subtle in their customisation, and many people seem to want to get rid of the pink look. I don't believe there is a clear winner in the ROM stakes. I've seen a few sigs that suggest people are starting to cook their own ROM with the GSM stack from one, the WiFi from another or whatever combination suits them. If you're up for doing the same, be my guest, but you may, unless you're experienced, find yourself worse off than you are now.
Have a look over in the "upgrading" forum and see what people seem to be using there. Be aware though, a lot of the "old timers" will be using I-Mate or Qtek devices which hit the streets before the O2 and T-Mobile variants, so they have had less device specific customisation done and were probabaly running a generic WWE (or localised) version anyway.
Hope that helps?

Hi All,
Recently, I bought a QTek 9100 and I absolutely love it! However, there is one issue that I did not find a way around it yet. It is very well possible I am doing something wrong, and not something with the software, and I hope you can help.
When I connect to my computer at work using ActiveSync, I can access the internet from the QTek only with Pocket Internet Explorer. Other applications, such as MSN, Skype or other thirdparty software, does not seem to be able to connect.
What could I do to fix that?
Any help appreciated,
Cheers,
Arno
Hi Arno,
I have the Orange SPV M3000 and upgraded the ROM to the latest Dutch version from Orange (2.18.1.3 NLD). When I connect the thing via ActiveSync, after some moments it complains about not being able to get an IP address. It is a warning box with the title 'Pocket PC Networking'. However, I am able to surf from within IE; sounds like the same problem.
I would love to hear what the reason and fix for this behaviour could be, if someone encountered this before, thanks.
Might be the same issue indeed. However, I am not getting any IP error messages though. It connects fine, it runs IE fine, syncs fine. It is just that other applications do not seem to be using that connection.
Maybe I need to set something up in the Conn Mgr or something, but I could not find out what exactly...
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 ...
I have a GPRS connection on my old (untrusty ) Sony Ericsson K700i that I want to share using bluetooth DUN. So far I managed to get it work in Windows7, openSuse 11.1 and WM2003 (widcomm stack), but it just won't work on my iPaq 614c.
I did all the logical steps:
-pair the phones over bluetooth
-select the DUN profile of my k700i
-add a new modem connection (in the My ISP section) that dials *99*# over bluetooth to my k700i
No matter what I try, it keeps telling me it can't connect (actualy, it doesn't even make a bluetooth connection to my k700i ).
Obviously, HP bundles the DUN profile with it's iPaqs, nevertheless I installed the dun cab file, but that didn't solve it either.
What to do ? What to do ?

same problem for my 614c trying to reach my Nokia 6630.....
after some googlesearchs, i think some dll are missing, for example i cannot find where to set the modem init string needed for my french orange provider ( at+cgdcont=....)
afaik that modem string can be set somewhere in the registry.
But I don't think that's the problem since I never had to provide that info in windows, linux or wm2003.
perhaps this would help ?

hmm, the file seems to be missing, but the HP6515 seems to be using the widcomm stack so I'm not sure if it's supposed to be there.
I can't install the patch for some reason , seems like my iPaq realy doesn't want to dial in over BT

this andthis
xda too slow..double posted sorry
Okay, I guess I wasn't clear enough in my previous posts.
I want to share the GPRS connection on my Sony Ericsson K700i and use it on my iPaq 614c, I'll be using Bluetooth DUN for that because the old K700i doesn't support BT PAN.
My Ipaq 614c doesn't suffer from the BT DUN missing problem, the official ROM comes with BT DUN installed (at least, I can see the BT DUN service in the service list of my K700i), so there is no need to patch that specific problem.
When I add a new modem connection, I choose 'bluetooth' (instead of cellulare/3G, GPRS), I select my K700i and use *99*# as the number that has to be dialed).
Now comes the problem: w of my K700i), so there is no need to patch that specific problem.
When I add a new modem connection, I choose 'bluetooth' (instead of cellulare/3G, GPRS), I select my K700i and use *99*# as the number that has to be dialed).
Now comes the real problem: when I want this modem to make a connection, nothing happens. Windows Mobile doesn't initiate a bluetooth connection towards my K700i, it just shows a message that the connection has failed...
614c to ipaq 210
I am having diffulty pairing my 210 with my 614. I am trying to use my 614c as a modem in order for my 210 to connect to the internet. I can coonect to the internet just fine with my 614, I am with t-mobile/unlimited data plan. Since I am in the USA HP does not offer any support for this device(Big Surprise LOL) I have searched everywhere for a solution. I have tried using the BT Phone Manager, and I have tried to pair them them in the BT manager with the "connect to the internet via cellular phone" profile and my ipaq 210does not recognize the 614 as a "phone", but it does recognize it a "any device". If I select this option and try to pair them using this wizard I cannot get a succefull pairing after entering a passkey. I continually receive the error message that "requested service is not running on this device". Any help would be appreciated.
Thank-you

Hi,
Correct me if I get it wrong, but are you telling us you just start your connection-shortcut like that, expecting WM to turn on your BT ? Or do you activate BT before dialing in ?
In general, if BT is running, anything you throw at it should run.
Dirk
Both with BT on and off it fails .
Doesn't realy matter anymore, the K700i is dying. The network part of the phone crashes from time to time when I use it (calls, sms, gprs, ...) after which the phone shuts itself down.
Probably going to change my main carrier from Mobistar to Mobile Vikings so I have free gprs on my iPaq ^^
iPAQ 614c as Bluetooth Modem with HP iPAQ 210
After several days of searching for an answer on how to use my iPAQ 614c phone as an access point for my iPAQ 210, I hve finally acheived success. I hope this will spare anyone who is trying to do this the countless hours of phone calls that I have made with both HP and T-Mobiles Tech Support. "Tech Support"? I beg to differ. HP 's first answer was "hardware issue" send the device in for repairs. I called back in hopes to get a different rep-I did, he was a little more helpful, after an hour or so of troubleshooting he concluded, The device was fine, what I was trying to do was not supported on all the devices(A nice thing to know, AFTER YOU BUY IT!) T-Mobile, also very nice but just unbelievably clueless, there "Tier 3" rep who after an hour or so of troubleshooting said she would "call me back" never did.
During all phone coversations with both companies I asked numerous times about trying the "BT Phone Manager" that comes on the HP iPAQ 210. The first HP rep said that, "No one really uses this, that it is just extra software that comes with the iPAQ". The 2nd HP guy said, "that was not what that is for, it is used more for if you want to transfer numbers. Like if you want to use your 210 as a phone."(I really don't have IDIOT stamped on my forehead) None of the T-Mobile reps knew what I was talking about.
Why do I share all of this information? Because confession (in this case of my own ignorance) is good for the soul.
Oh, how do you get it to work?
1 Pick up your 210
-Turn Device on
-Turn Bluetooth On
2 Start\Programs\BT Phone Manager
- Press the Connect Button
- Follow all Pairing directions in walk through (It even tells you what to do on your cell phone)
Now, if you are like me, you will want to go into the: Settings\Connections\Bluetooth (Why? Because this is what every manual, every forum, every support rep has always told you to do.) DO NOT DO THIS, it is tempting to want to try to configure your own settings, thought being that you will need them the "next Time" you try to connect to your cell phone. Well, if you mess with the settings, THERE WON'T BE A NEXT TIME! You will end up like me, wasting alot of time, patience and unnecessary hard resets(3 during 1 phone conversation with HP),trying to fix something that worked to begin with!
Hope I helped someone, and if you do not have BT Phone Manager, there are cabs floating around everywhere, I know some people don't like it, but it does work. REALLY.

Hey guys,
I have searched for this problem on the forum but I can't find a solution. The problem I have is that my Bluetooth is not working like I would like it to:
When trying to connect from my TD2 to my pc (xp) / laptop (vista) I get the message:
Cannot connect
Your device hasn't been able to connect with 'pc-name'. De connection failed or the password is incorrect.
(I get it in dutch... so if my translation isn't the same as in the english version you know about it).
When using the pc / laptop to connect to the TD2 I get a screen where I can choose between two bluetooth services:
- Dial-up Connection
- Network Access Point
... These are the only two. When I use my old phone I can also use a Serial port connection (and even a few more).
The purpose of the bluetooth connection is to be able to synchronize my contacts with my Microsoft Outlook 2007.
Can someone please help me with this problem? I have already tried a few things, like soft- and hard reset. Updated the ROM, etc. But it is still not working. The only thing which DOES work is connecting the TD2 to my radio in my car...
Thanks in advance
Hi robje,
Ive got same problem with you.. but i managed to solve it ..try enable receive all incoming beams.. u can find it at all settings --> connections --> beam --> then check " receive all incoming beams"... good luck.....
Thanks for the quick help!
I already enabled this setting, but I still have these problems...
I've got exactly the same problem with my bluetooth,are you still using the stock ROM? I've currently got energyrom's standard2.5 installed so I thought that it maybe WinMob 6.5... My wife's phone is fine and she's using the stock ROM. I'm going to go back to HTC's stock ROM, so I'll give you another update after I've done this...
One note to add.. I've seen that on my older Diamond, the bluetooth COM ports menu shows "New outgoing port", whereas my new Diamond2 shows nothing on the same menu...
Update... I've flashed my Diamond2 back to the original HTC ROM and bluetooth is now working correctly. So it looks as though the problem is probably with WinMob 6.5...
Can anyone confirm this at all???
I think I am just using the Stock ROM (as I haven't installed any other). I am also using WM 6.1... as 6.5 is not yet available for the TD2 (if I am correct)...

The retail version isn't but a lot of the ROMs on here have been done with beta versions of 6.5 (mines on build 23016)...
Anyway,I've flashed back to my cooked ROM and bluetooth still isn't working correctly. I've been messing around with the "advanced configuration tool" and found that OBEX was disabled. However once I turned this on, it still wouldn't work correctly...
Yeah I also found the OBEX using Advanced Config. But that didn't seem to matter... I hope anyone knows a solution for this, because it's really annoying! I have contacted the HTC Helpdesk... but didn't get much help. After giving all details about the problem they send me a manual of how to turn on the bluetooth radio on a mobile device :|...
Have you tried reflashing with the latest update from the HTC website?
This problem is getting weirder... I've now found that I can send files from my TD2, it's just the recieving of them that won't work. So I think it must be a possible compatibility issue between WinMob 6.5 & the older version on my TD...
Has anyone got an idea to solve this problem...?
No intention of being a smartass though...
Have you checked the box "visible"?

Hey Magnus,
I do have checked that box and it's visible. I have done all there can be done (the easy way) on the TD2, but all settings are correct. I can also see a list of available bluetooth services on the phone, which also describes the one I need. But when I then try to connect my pc with my phone, I can only choose on my pc between:
- Dial-up Connection
- Network Access Point
Only those 2... when there are much more available according to the list on the phone...
Have you tried to connect to your "old phone" as you mentioned?
Sending receiving between those phones
