Anyone know how to speed it up? seems to take a very long time to load a webpage over bluetooth activesync... any tips?
The page takes 10-20seconds usually where as on my PC (that active sync is running from) it only takes a couple of seconds...
well it will be significantly slower than your PC for sure.. mainly because it's only leeching some stuff from your PC.. if you don't load the pictures, the pages will be faster to load...
Thanks for that, i turned of the images, makes it load a little quicker, but hte slow part is the connecting to the site initally, takes around 10-15seconds before it starts loading, without images it loads quick (after the initial 10-15second wait) with images doesn't take much longer... its that inital connection that seems to take a while... most pages load in a few seconds if not less on my PC on 1.5mbit ADSL with no background traffic.
maybe you can change your bluetooth baud rate to 115200 or higher for optimum speed.. i just couldnt remember where you can exactly change it but there is a way..
you can change it under the com port settings for the com port your using, dont know if it makes much difference...
Should MSN work over active sync?
of course MSN works in activesync passthru.. i use agile messenger for that coz i have both Yahoo and MSN messenger working.. while browsing the net in my XDA at the same time.. ive had no problems so far except the slow connection speed too..
agile is better imho and it support icq and such aswell
Would setting up a PAN or something speed it up?
What kind of range do you guys get?
well bluetooth is max 700Kb/sec
thats not really fast and of cause the ms stack dont support
pan so you need the vidcomm stack and even with that
then usb which most bluetooth in normal computers use
there is bound to be latencys and high cpu usage
Hey, I have a Mogul through sprint and actually pay the $40 a month for the PAM feature. It works great most of the time by USB tether, which I prefer because it keeps the phone charged. My problem is that after a random amount of time, sometimes a few minutes, sometimes an hour or so, the connection no longer sends or receives packets. the phone still reads connected, but the vista network connection status screen says (not responding) in the title bar. I've made sure my NDIS driver is up to date, and I've searched for other people who might have had the same problem, but all I can find are people troubleshooting methods to avoid paying for PAM. WMWifi and pdanet and stuff are great, but i need a hand with the legit PAM if anyone has any experience with it. (Oh, and my phone is running 2.17 rom and 1.47 radio that came on it)
Ok, so it seems to be that when I plug in the usb cable, even if I've already started the phone as modem connection, ActiveSync still starts, and vista doesn't always seem to give the pam connection priority. Is there any way to disable auto-start of activesync on the device? there is no activesync on vista, its their windows mobile device center junk and it has no options or preferences at all.

I think there's an option where you can disallow USB connections. I'd try that. I've been using PAM on vista since we figured out how to beat the tethering charges using the reg hack with no problems. I have noticed that activesync tries to connect to it though, and usually what I do is have an active connection first, plug it in while I'm hitting connect and it usually works fine. You might try that too.
Good luck!
BTW, you might try updating your ROM to one of DCD's releases...they work much better than the stock rom IMO.
I don't know if there is someone always experiencing this but my connection, through modem, is always dropping under Vista in SnapVue it works correctly... Does anyone has this problem also?
Change your power mode to "high performance" in vista, reset snapvue and see how it goes from there.
I find that SnapVue causes most of the issues with 3G...if the problems persist I do a soft reset - everything is usually fine after that.
AI also have the weather update set to manual and the email too - if I leave them on auto they tend to interfere with the Vista side when I'm wanting it to work flawlessly.
I agree, make the WM side as inactive as you can, this improves the stability of 3G considerably.

After testing all that was said here I found out that the best way to keep it stable was choose high perfomance in energy profile of VISTA.
Found also that what happens is not loosing 3G connection, in fact, what happens is that I ear a sound, equal to the one when you disconect a device from usb, and a couple of seconds after I ear that sound again, like if you connect something to the USB ports.
So what happens is like if VISTA lost the connection to the 3G modem hardware. I've tried to deactivate power management for USB, through device manager, but that doesn't change this behaviour, the best way I found was choose high perfomance in energy profile of VISTA.
Hi,
yes, that has been said a thousand of times in other threads.
It is like this:
3G + power adapter = all modes work.
3G + battery = high performance only works, but you can use the settings of "balanced"

Modem on Vista Issue:
I now have 2 SIM cards and have setup 2 modem connections, one for AT&T and other for Fido(Canada).
Now, neither one of my modem connections will work with Vista side of Shift.
I have a stable Edge/GPRS connection on Fido where exchange/gmail/weather work, when I switch to Vista, no modem connection.
I have done the following:
have Shift connected to AC power/have power under high performance
have reset snapview a number of time
do not play with modem setting in Communication Manager in Vista
I cannot get the modem to work in Vista, in fact, I was in US 2 weeks ago and was able to get modem to work for 2 days (was able to make Skype voice call on HSDPA network) under Vista
I called HTC tech support, they have so many new people that know squat about the Shift, they claim they will call me back later tonight.
What am I doing wrong!!!!!!!
Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !
Edit/Delete Message
Update
Hi,
I think I have found the problem.
I liberated my Shift late on weekend.
In order to have Vista side to work, I need to attach to Vista via the USB tool.
Once I did that, it looks like I have my Fido connection.
I will test later today.

Hello,
I've been searching the whole forum, but I cannot believe nobody is having the same problem (or idea) as I have:
BA is still great, but nowadays it's lack of 3G internet speed capability (no HSDPA or HSUPA, only gprs.. is becoming more and more quite a problem...
So I thought, wait, I'll connect my BA via bluetooth to another cell phone with 3G, HSDPA, etc. capabilities and basically connect to the internet through that phone, and have high speed internet!
However, I can't figure it out.
First I tried through DUN, but it turns out MS removed DUN from wm 6.1, and from what I can see, Internet sharing is not intended for this task. Or is it?
Can we have high speed internet on BA?
Thanks,
pooksee1802
I couldn't get it to work - but I have just got a 3G USB dongle which I hope will (with a connector cable) provide the old BA with 3G access..
I'm hoping I can configure the BA as if it were going through the USB activesync to the PC and so to the internet.
Anyone tried this yet??
hmm,
judging by the thread's view count it seems the issue is interesting, but unfortunately no answers...
c'mon guys, nobody interested in having high speed internet access on our BA's?
thank you!
in theory the scheme is simple but useless
you need laptop, 3g dongle connected to it and then BA connected to the laptop via cable (bluetooth is slow)and activesync, this is the only working way. This scheme is useless because if you carry the laptop why will do you need the BA?
there is no usb host on the BA so you can not connect the 3g usb dongle to it in any way, thats why you need the laptop
I am using BA with phone as Bluetooth modem towards HSPA network.
Actually, the initial purpose was to share one SIM card between phone and BA, which is more or less permanently installed in my car.
So far, the experience is good. I have 2Mbit HSDPA connection from Nokia E71 to my operator. Bluetooth link has a theoretical maximum speed of 1Mbit/s. In reality this is even slower, but way higher than you can get from EDGE Class 10.
The only problem is that THERE IS NO ROMs released lately, which support Bluetooth dialup. That's it.
ROMs I could get to work with phone as Bluetooth modem are WM5 ROMS and WM6 - "BA ROM CE OS 5.2.19199 (Build 19199.1.0.0 PV DVH) 16MB PP (04)" (using it now).
All later builds do not even try to connect to BT DUN on phone and immediately show "Unable to dial *99#" prompt. No idea what they did to cripple BT DUN in WM 6.1 on BA.
the old dialup was dumped in all later ba rom builds but if it is required so much i can add it in a later build of my roms
Well, I would very appreciate it, really.
Stpark - that's exactly what I was trying to do!
Regarding BA's bluetooth speed, I was aware that it's bt is only ver. 1.1, that is quite slow, but I assumed it would nonetheless still be faster than ordinary gprs. Thanks again for the confirmation.
Stpark, by the way, searching for the "missing bluetooth DUN" I came across a WM developers blog, (http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2007/04/17/why-did-we-remove-bluetooth-dun.aspx) who said that actually they didn't remove it from the ROMs completely, they just put it as an option, but due to user's demand they will return it to the standard package in WM 6.5.
Xplode, thank you for all the roms so far, and I would also appreciate very very much a rom with the DUN included, and I think many of us would as well... Thank you...
To be exactly precise on DUN... There is DUN and there is another DUN.
There is model where your BA acts as DUN host (i.e. you dial from PC using your handheld as modem).
And there is model where your BA acts as DUN client (i.e. you dial from BA using you whetever mobile phone as modem).
So far we are talking about second model, whereas Microsoft is dropping DUN for first. It means that BA as modem role is being replaced by BT PAN. I am not aware about Microsoft being dropped DUN client role in Windows Mobile.
It seem to be just an issue with composition of latest BA ROMs.
That's right, we need the "second" option, that is when the BA acts as a client connecting to a host mobile phone with 3g internet connection.
Be it as it may, because I don't know if MS did drop DUN altogether, or just the first, host mode operation, we need the second one. I'd say badly.
Now I'm hoping for a ROM with DUN in it... (xplode..xplode..
ps. I'm writing this on my BA connected to the net through gprs, speed: 5 kb/s, just like dialup, happytime...
Well i am working on 20931 rom and may publish it these days, but i still have some issues with it when i solve them i will publish it

I have an AT&T Tilt running Laurentius26's L26KDV12 (Windows Mobile 6.1) and I would like to use the device as a USB modem - NOT for internet connectivity but to connect to remote monitoring devices around the state that have modem's installed in them (for example, from my desktop I have an external 56K modem connected to COM3 - I have several HyperTerminal profiles setup with phone numbers, baud rate, etc.. that I open and my modem "calls" these remote monitoring stations"). I would like to be able to use my laptop and the Tilt (Kaiser) as the modem so I can call into these pieces of equipment while I am traveling.
Any advice - or search tags would be appreciated. I have already searched the forums and did a general Google search but all results turn up how to use the phone as a Internet Connection device - this is NOT to connect to the internet...
Thank you!
Have a search for 'usb_modem.zip' and 'MODEMLINK'. The usb_modem.zip is a driver file for Windows and allows your PC to use your Windows Mobile device as a modem. You also need the MODEMLINK installed on your device which you activate like you do with Internet Sharing. I have MODEMLINK cooked into my ROM and unfortunately don't have a .CAB for it, however I think there is one. It only consists of three files, a shortcut and some registry settings.
I have tested it sucessfully with some dial-up ISPs and it worked fine. When I was initially testing it though I attempted to phone my home line to verify it was dialing out OK and this didn't work. Since it isn't something I use often I haven't pursued this but I think it might have something to do with the 'CSD Line Type' setting in Settings/Connections.
thanks for the information. I did find and download the wmodem software for the phone but when I activate it I get an error message about not being able to access a com port, the cell signal goes dead and I have to reset the phone.
If you have a different version that what I found (5.1.2600.2180) let me know - that may be the difference...
thanks!

When I launch Modem Link I select 'USB' as the connection, Baud Rate is 'Unused' and Access point name is set to the GPRS APN I have configured (however this is unused I think?). I then hit 'Activate' and ActiveSync disconnects and the 'HTC USB Modem' is then connected to COM4. I can query the modem from the Control Panel applet on my PC like any other modem. I can also open HyperTerminal direct to COM4 and enter 'AT' commands. I just tried dialing my home phone again and this didn't work, however dialing an ISP did.
