I would like to be able to make my JasJar work as a Bluetooth modem for my laptop for fast access to the internet when i'm out and about... (only for times when i can't do what i need to on my JasJar!)
Has anyone got this working sensibly?
Despite trying for ages, I can't get the bundled connection software to work at all (through USB or Bluetooth!)... i have managed to install the drivers on the PC (from the cd but it hasn't helped).
Also, i have tried without success to create a new bluetooth modem connection with my laptop. It connects OK to the JasJar and then starts to dial a connection but it seems to stop dialing through for some reason and doesn't connect... (i am dialing *99#)
Does anyone have any suggestions please?
p.s. I have a 3G connection with Vodafone

Hi!
Has someone a solution / configuration for to get windows working with xda2 as a modem?
i'm pretty sure it works as a bluetooth modem without any software
Using XDA as a modem to your PC
VIA BLUETOOTH CONNECTION & GPRS:
If your PC does not have an integrated Bluetooth connection, you must first install a Bluetooth dongle (USB to Bluetooth) on your PC, with the related software (widcomm or other)
Open on your PC in the Control Panel the Phone and Modem Options
Choose Modems, pick the Bluetooth Modem, then click on Properties
Click on Advanced tab
Type in Extra Initialization commands:
AT+CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”xxx”,””,0,0
where xxx is your internet access point.
Now click on the Bluetooth icon of XDA, and choose Discoverable mode
On your PC:
Click on Bluetooth icon (My Bluetooth places)
Click Bluetooth Setup Wizard.
Choose I want to find a specific Bluetooth device …
After a search period, an icon of your XDA is displayed (usually with your owner’s name): double click for settings
From the Dial-up Networking Links, click on SSA
SSA settings:
Modem: Bluetooth Modem
Number to dial: *99#
User name and password, according to Network provider
Yes it works. Im using my cradle/usb connection though and not bluetooth. I am browsing the net for free and using msn for free!! what I dont get is that why, as im using o2s settings, can i access msn via my laptop using my gprs modem, yet i cant access msn using my xda2. I know they both using the same ports! 8080...bloody weird? Or is there something else which affects the connection to net via laptop than there is connecting to gprs via xda2 connection inbuilt. Any ideas?
Drivers needed
Could please anyone post the drivers to use the HTC Himalaya as a gprs modem on my notebook.
I've lost the T-Mobile CD.
QTEK m100/i mate jam
I have been trying without success for two whole evenings to make this htc device act as a wireless usb modem for my sony viao laptop. I downloaded the USB modem dialler utility that is referred to in the sites, and when I physically connect with the USB cable and turn on the wmodem utility on the qtek then it will connect through GPRS and that is a workable if wirebound solution. However, if I disconnect and close the dieler utility, (which doesnt install, it just exe's everytime you open it) I have to fully reboot the laptop before it will connect again.
Using windows to detect the bluetooth modem results in it spotting 3 bluetooth modems, only one of which is available to "query". Using the Vodafone connect (PC) software, (which works with my old sony ericsson t610), with the newly installed bluetooth modem results in an"AT command not supported" failure message. It does this with or without the GCDCONDetc initialisation string in the modem's advanced settings.
Has anyone got a simple HTC bluetooth modem driver or any better ideas? This is driving me bananas.
Thanks
Hi
I have been trying to connect my laptop via bluetooth to the device to obtain internet access via GPRS.
I had this working (just once), but now it keeps giving me stupid errors. Basically, it connects, then instantly disconnects without leaving any error messages. I then try reconnecting (fails) again, with the same message. On the 3rd try, it tells me that the line is engaged (it aint). Once you get to the 3rd try, soft reset of XDA IIs is required in order to try again, in which case, we go back around in a circle!!!
Really anoying thing is that it successfully connected *once* (browing working fine etc) and that the settings are identical to what they were when it connected successfully.
Bloody thing. Any idea's?

Hi
Please try to follow this steps!
1st Make sure you don´t have any ActiveSync connection in your Bluetooth settings in your PDA.
2nd Create in connection wizard in your PDA a ActiveSync via Bluetooth connection.
3rd Goto to your ActiveSync in your PC and goto to FILE>Obtain Connection
If you have the connection made via bluetooth and your active sync start connecting, you already have Internet in your PDA. If not open your PDA ActiveSync and try there to make synchronization.
I hope i was usefull.

Maybe you missed the point. I think the original post was on how to connect a laptop to the internet wirelessly though a Bluetooth connection to the XDA then with the GPRS internet data connection on the XDA. Your post sounds like how to get internet access on the XDA through the laptop connection. I also have the latter working but not the former. I need some detailed instructions on how to accomplish the former through BOTH GPRS and dial up. I need the steps to take on the PC as well as the mobile device.
internet access through gprs
It's something due to xp protection rules.I hope you'll find solution looking at advanced section in modem property (in windows home page start>setting>modem>modem properties);there's a string shorter than the original one you've typed,lacking of ",0,0" at its end.
Try to add it manually.
Hope this help.

The answers should be here...
Hi Mr. Serj. I seemed to have a lot of problems and after "messing" around enough I found the solution. In the end it was pretty easy. My description is for WinXP but it should be pretty close in Win2000. See the fourth post from me here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=18404&highlight=
swamp2 - that was really useful, thanks.
hi, I have kjam. I use the dialup networking via bluetooth for my laptop. After 5min of connection there will be no receive at all. I disconnect and try to make a call but no luck. I reset kjam, same problem. I use usb modem, still the same. I call ISP they said they don't have a problem. My brother uses edge with no problem(not kjam)
rarely kjam will connect correctly.
I have lastest english rom
Works flawless on my magician for hours.
M
oltp, did you use the DUN using wizard?
Well actually I'm using the USB modem dialler on my magician. So it's connecting via gprs. I'm on flatfee gprs, so haven't tried DUN.
What happens when you surf the net on your wizard, does it keep the connection alive?
M
I can surf internet perfectly in Wizard. The connection will not drop. But, If I use DUN and disconnect due to no receiving of data, I can't surf internet anymore in Kjam or even I can't make a call. So, I use a soft reset.
Strange! Today I've downloaded 1.2Gb files in 20hrs without losing connection.
Why sometimes it worked and sometimes it fails, is it a rom bug? or I have a hardware problem?
Pls help!
Oh man!
I tried Windows XP SP1. It worked for 2 hours then the same hell problem came again!!
I think I'll throw kjam through the window. :x
Maybe no body used kjam as a modem, so no one will help me
PLS HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can seem to get this to happen, when I setup a bluetooth connect from my laptop to my Jasjar all the laptop see the Jasjar as is a modem and wants me to fill in a number to dial, I want to just make a connect so I can use the Vodafone connect software on the laptop so it can use the 3G connection through the phone, I can use a usb connection as my usb port is broken, so unusable, any one know what I am doing wrong?
So you want to browse thew internet on your laptop, using the universal as a 3g modem?
If so when Vodaphone connect asks for a number use *99# That should make the phone use it's default 3g GPRS connection.
Hi and thanks for the reply but I am still having problems, I even tried and used my Jamin and it seems to do the same thing, create a modem connection and thats it. I have a Vodafone Mobile Connect account and when i try to run the software it can't find the phone through bluetooth because i can pair the phone and the laptop as I think all the laptop wantes to do is connect to the phone if it needs a modem. I don't really understand what is going on here. Has anyone done this before?
Hows this for crap, I just phoned i-mate and they told me you can't use any i-mate phone as a modem over bluetooth connection, you have to use the USB connection to use the phone as a modem. I find that very stupid. :evil:
I tried to use Trinity as a modem and did not manage to make this work.
I connect the usb cable. Start ISharing program on pda. Click conect. Says connected. 3G connection works. However the laptop is not connected to the internet.
Bluetooth also does not work. I can't find a way to create a PAN as they call it.
I would appreciate any suggestions as the manual is not clear on this topic
edit: i start internet sharing on my pda. i choose bluetooth. click connect. it says: Device setup finished. On the PC connect Bluetooth PAN.
On the PC i find my device. Find available services. Double click on 'Network Acces Point on Trinity'. I get a message that the computer is connecting and then an error: The Network Access connection failed: Could not connect to the remote device'
edit2: finally solved it.
I had to enter advanced bluetooth config on laptop. Under 'network access' properties I selected 'allow other devices to create a private network with this device'. Now it works.
hi,
i had the same issue, using bluetooth, but it´s the same, i guess.
you need to connect the pda with the pc, and when you get the connection, you go to the program menu in the pda, and select in the submenu connetions usb/bluettoth pan and connect.
the dial up connectiosn should start.
tell me if suceed.
i start internet sharing on phone. then go on bluetooth->quick connect-> network access -> my phone name. then it works as i mentioned above. but i had to change some properties in my bluetooth configuration to make it work.
The same for me : when I try tu use it as a GPRS modem for my TomTom Rider device, the Rider says that the DUN profile isn't provided as a service by the Trinity !!! Use to work perfectly with my old Magician !!! I'm really disappointed ! Will see if the brand new ROM with GPS feature corrects this...
try to start internet sharing first (in trinity), connect to gprs and then start bluetooth services discovery on tomtom.
I'm not using bluetooth, but trying to use the phone as a modem using USB with a laptop. It works, but is really flaky, so would appreciate some pointers on how to fix the problem.
First thing that I do is connect the phone to my laptop via USB. Activesync starts up on both the laptop and the phone. Then, when I start the Internet Sharing program, the phone stops Activesync and connects to the network. Everything works fine for a while and I am able to surf the net on both the Trinity and the laptop with no problems for a while. The problem is that after a period that can vary from 10 minutes to 1 hours, the laptop loses the internet connection. The phone is still connected to the internet though and I can still surf using the PDA. It's just the laptop that loses the connection.
I have to reboot the laptop and soft reset the Trinity to repeat the process to get internet on the laptop going again.
Any ideas what's causing the problem? I've tried disabling Advanced USB Functionality on the Trinity, but the problem is still there...
