Hi,
I'm looking for any info concerning GSM and IP protocol API for T-Mobile's MDA devices (mainly MDA II, III and Compact). I know that some of the software doesn't come from Microsoft but it was designed either by HTC or a third party company.
In my app I need to know for example:
- the GSM signal strenght, cell ID etc.
- result of ICMP PING command, info concerning particular IP packets etc.
I'll appreciate any information.
Thanks!

I 'm experimenting problems to setup a GPRS connection with my local cellualr provider, because it seems that here in MEXICO, you need to configure +52 55 *99# intead of +0..... (tmobile default configuration) I own a TMOBILE XDA PW10B1 ROM: 3.08.10 ENG, Radio Version: 6.02
Can anybody help me to do this configuration?
Sounds like your GPRS operator needs to go on a course
A GPRS handset doesn't actually dial a number. The *99# is used as a code to tell the phone to connect to GPRS it is not sent to the network.
There are actually 3 ways for a GPRS phone to connect to a GPRS network
ATD*99# (or ATD*99***1# on some handsets)
AT+CGACT=1
AT+CGDATA=1
The last two don't work in practice as once you are connected you need a PPP link to do anything useful.
You do need to tell the phone what Access Point you wish to connect to (the bit after the +0~ on the display, which can be removed by tweaking the Dialing Locations section). This is done by the AT+CGDCONT command, but as all AT commands are 'hidden' by Pocket PC the Connection Manager sets this before it connects.
The customer care person in Mexico simply doesn't understand how GPRS works. Unfortunatly few customer care staff do elsewhere in the world either.
Thanks for your replay.
how can I tweak the Dialing Locations section?
I'm new in this kind of tech.
Start\Settings\Connections\Connections\Dialing Locations\Dialing Patterns
Replace everything (or just International Calls) with g.
Mind you it will make no diference to the GPRS operation of the device, only the display of the "dial string" in the message window.
I works!!!! very well. It fells a litte bit slow, but it works... Thanks.
Is that possible to somehow see what AT commands have been used by the connection manager/pocketpc?
I have GPRS working on pocketpc, but I couldn't get it working using AT commands magic and with pppd (under linux, not on the XDA, but the same SIM/network.).
I'm looking for any information, SDK, documentation, codes...
about E911 emergency service.
a few Windows Mobile devices (like XDAIII) have some descriptions
about features to use such a kind of service.
can I get these data programmatically?
on the client/device side?
where does this service run?
is it depend directly from the network operator?
or just from hardware/software inside the device?
is it a common "World" standard?
any help? link?
it is dipendent from hardware/software inside the device?
There was a Reg Key to set the number.Try to search in the reg closely
sorry.
I did not asked about emergency call numbers. This is well known.
I asked about some emergency service, where the network operator can recognize the location of phone automatically, becasue the phone can send some extra localion data on request. The newest hardware has some specialized chip inside to make it without GPS Rx. Look for XDAIII (exactly for PPC6600 in USA Sprint operator) details descriptions about its features.
Provider Service, not client application
I thinks so.
Firstly, I would like to say that my mobile provider is T-mobile (The Netherlands). I have the T-mobile MDA Vario.
I have discovered 2 previous threads concerning contradictions in the hardware of the Wizard/Qtek 9100/MDA Vario.
I know that the original manufactor is HTC Innovation (Taiwan). (Under my battery its labeled as the "WIZA200").
The Qtek site for Europe says it supports quadband, 802.11b/g & EDGE.
http://www.qtek.nu/europe/products/9100/specifications.aspx
However, the Dutch T-mobile site says it supports triband, 802.11b & only support for GPRS.
Triband: GSM 900/1800/1900
WLAN High speed data (802.11b up to 11Mbps)

Now I am assuming that the Qtek 9100 & MDA Vario devices are hardware wise exactly similar (Seems expensive for HTC to produce slightly different Wizards.). Therefore I came to the conclusion that the it must be locked down through software.
Has anyone been able to unlock some of these features? (E.g. triband -> quadband)
I tested to see if 802.11g would function on my MDA Vario (Through Linksys router working in G-mode only). It didn't work. So I am assuming there are no mistakes on these websites. Also it would be in T-mobiles intrest to lock down these features as the MDA Pro has them, but is a lot more expensive.
If anyone could shed some light on this problem, it would be intresting.

Thank you, didn't know there was a new version out. I saw something about version 1.0, but some people were having problems with this, so thought it wasn't a working fix. Quick question regarding the WLAN G 2.0 patch, does it still also allow to be connected to 802.11b only networks?
Anybody still now anything regarding about going from triband to quadband?
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
This has probably been covered, but doing several searches, I have not been able to get a useful answer.
I realise that there is a RIL.dll driver in the system and that it is part of the GSM stack, it is used by the STK service to find the GSM network broadcast information (Cell ID is one of them) from the local Cell towers.
My questions are:
Why is the latest ROM (HELMI_BA_WM6_R0_Public) not equipped to received the Cell Broadcasts (even through the Control Panel > Phone > More)?
How is the latest ROM (HELMI_BA_WM6_R0_Public) updated to include this feature that is fundamental to all other Cell Phones?

Hi
I am thinking about the SGS2 but I would like to know if it has rSAP support or not.
For HTC devices there is some development available. But not for Samsung.
Anyone can confirm or even test?
Thanks
snudel
According to http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSAP even SGS1 supports rSAP. So I think it should be supported by SGS2, too.
excuse my ignorance but....rSAP?
dont get your question. but:
in germany, some car brands have handsfree talking with rSAP protocol only.
for more details check the wiki link above.
so its a bluetooth protocol that accesses the sim... what for accessing the phone book?
depends on the version - as stated in the wiki
yeah google translated german isn't too easy on my canadian brain
oh, didnt even realize its german sorry

remote -Sim Access Protocol allowing gsm enabled car phones to utilize a mobile handset sim to make calls (and possibly other related gsm functions) without having to have a sim themselves.
