Browse on Universal but over Jam's GPRS - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

Hi, I own both a jam and a htc universal. now I only have one sim and tend to keep this in my jam (universal is just huge) but I want to web surf/email from the universal.
Any ideas how I can get the uni to use the jam as gprs source? Ive tried to create a new modem and point to the jam, but the wizard wants me to input a phone number to dial for gprs. confusing stuff.
Any help much appreciated. Thanx

My user manual says to fill in a '99' as the phone number to dial, so give it a try...

Hi,
When using your device as modem from the pc, you use *99# so maybe that's it?

Connecting to a SonyEricsson phone uses *99***X# where X is the APN number stored in the phone..
Or to use default APN: *99#

thanks guys! worked a treat.

Ok here you go!
Name of Connection: T-Mobile Internet
Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS)
Access point name: internet2.voicestream.com
Note: Leave your User ID and Password blank.
HTH
settings: My ISP
name 4 connection: T-Mobile Internet
cellular Line (GPRS)
apn: wap.voicestream.com (internet2 never worked, dont know why :evil: ) (neither has proxy: getmorespeed.voicestream.com:8080 ever workd)
software & IP header compression ON
...
at the time it wasnt workin, i was on 3.17(went back 2 check somthing out :roll: )...and i did the aoutconfiguration and selected austria, and it worked after that, just very slowly, so i went back to 4.00.21
and it still didnt work...... but then i deleted battery monitur from start up and it workd as fast as usual
any one have a working NBF of 3.20.06 all mine are corrupt
and the radio stack 4.21
Qman whats ur view on RS 4.21?
:twisted: cant wait 4 Tmo's official :twisted:
Hey JUICEeI see you're still at!
Confirming you are in Austria and not the US?
Also what type of Service do you have with T-Mobile?
Because it appears that your trouble maybe in that area. Give them a call and get confirmation on what type of plan/service you have, you might be surprised! :shock:
Oh yea as far as RS 4.21 goes it appears your better off using the Qtek 1010 Radio Stack if its for "Non-US" usage.
The Qtek 1010 Radio Stack can be found at:
http://www.carrierdevices.com.au/downloads/asiapacific.htm
Download Radio Upgrade File : RSUv1.15_(GPRS_T32500_ENG).exe
BTW read the WARNING:
HTH
Qman
I must have confused you 8) I am in USA...Chicago, IL
I tried the Austria config setting to see if their settings would work, which they did, but i went back to WM2003 so thats that
BTW...still using ATT STACK :twisted:

Yeap I must admit I was a little confused. :?
From what I've read on the other forums the Chicago area is a tuff
place for T-Mobile users. Maybe things will be a little better for you guys
when they release their latest 6.24.1 RS.
IT BETTR BE! :shock:
TMO is pretty bad here, but only inside a house, outside its perfect...but when i had 3.17 OS and Tmo stack 6.18 it was working beautifully :mrgreen: but then I got too greedy, and u know what that lead to lol
Connecting to Internet
I have RS 6.24.00 and ROM 4.00.21 using TMO in Austin, TX. I can connect to internet via VPN GPRS connection (internet3.voicestream.com) but not Internet GPRS connection (internet2.voicestream.com). I saw the tip earlier in this thread to use wap.voicestream.com as the Internet GPRS connection. It worked for me!
However, I have a number of apps that won't connect to the web via these connections. Error is, "Update failed, Please make sure you are connected to the internet." PIE (Pocket Internet Explorer) works fine but the following apps can't connect:
1. WorldMate SE2003 (to update weather or currency rates)
Any thoughts folks?
I would switch back to using just the internet3.voicestream.com address. T-Mobile only allows you to connect with one of the first two options (internet2 or internet 3 but not both). WAP is not the same as the GPRS servers....so that might be causing you problems. I personally use internet3 and don't have any issues.
how fast should gprs be ? can some people post their results. It seems like my internet connection is really slow. Initially i had internet2.voicestream.com, i called and have them switched me to internet3.voicestream.com. I thought this would be better but same if not slower results. Any thoughts on how to possibly speed up my internet. I am using a cooked rom version 4.00.16 with 6.18 rsu.

I've been using internet2 for about 9 months, and I get 4-6kbps most of the time, bursting to about 26k peak, according to SPB. However, I also use internet2 for my Sony T610 (I love that phone--great radio for being so feature laden) and when I have my laptop connected to the T610 via IrDA and use it as a GPRS modem, I consistently get 38-40 kbps, 24 hours a day.
Consequently, I suspect there are limitations in the XDA architecture.
Wireless Modem and T-Mobile: Authentication problem?
For me, T-Mobile GPRS connection on the XDA with blank user ID and password works fine, but when I use the PDA as a wireless modem the dialup connection on the desktop is stuck at "Verifying username and password..." stage. Does this meean I have to use some special user/password or is it some other problem? Otherwise I managed to configure the wireless modem correctly, the PC sees it, the Wireless Modem app on XDA flashes the connection and data lights...
BTW in Wireless Modem's log after the dial command and CONNECT I see stuff like
+CME ERROR 137
PDP_DEACTIVATED
I wonder if it's related to my "Verifying username and password..." problem. Any ideas?
Thanks!!!

Q: Laptop->WM5->GPRS ?

Appologies in advance for the daft question. I was wondering if its possible for me to configure my Wizard as a gateway to the internet?
From my Wizard, once I've established a GPRS connection I can browse/surf the internet, but I'd like to be able to connect with my PC and browse the intenet.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance and once again, sorry for the newb question.

I won't have a Wizard. But, let me guess
Try switching on your Wizard IR and point it to your PC. It things goes well, your PC should say some hardware detected.. and it should have a modem class hardware, which should enable you to connect to the net. Try fiddle with it. That is what's on offer from my SonyE phone.
Is it possible to make a connection through usb cable?
jep, you can use youre wizzard als a gprs modem for youre laptop.
start with going trough
[start]
[programs]
[modem link]
plug in the usb on bove sides (wizzard and pc)
youre pc will find a new deviece.
Insert youre cd from t-mobile with applications. On that cd is also a set of drivers for the wizzard modem function. (just tell windows to search the cd the rest will be done automaticly)
go to connections on youre pc.
create a new connection.
make sure it's pointing to youre new added modem (wizzard).
use for the phone number *99#
have a little patience and wola youre welcome on the world wide web.
ps if you are dutch try this post on a dutch forum which is maybe more clear

Both IrDA and USB will work as described above. IrDA, on the other hand, is not the way to go if you have EDGE - IrDA's maximal 115 kbps is slower than the maximal about 175 kbps of EDGE.
If you have Bluetooth support in the notebook, you will want to read this tutorial on setting up the Wizard as a Bleutooh modem: http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=510&more=1
"Modem link" worked a treat - thanks!
For Vodafone Australia, I needed to send the following init string
"at+cgdcont=1,"IP","vfinternet.au"

Pity the GPRS counter doesn't work!
Any Drivers for OSX for my powerbook?
Interesting topic...
is there similarly a way to use WiFi from the Wizard on a laptop, via IR or USB?
Couldn't get this to work while recently at a hotel where the laptop couldn't see the hotspot anywhere in the room, but the wizard could see it everywhere in the room! =)
No.
What you need to do that is known in the Winblows world as "Internet Connection Sharing", or "ICS", and its not in the WinCE build. At all.
Going the OTHER way however - having your Windows laptop serve up the GPRS connection to a whole host of other machines on an ad-hoc Wifi network - that DOES work!
HI there i donot have modem drivers in my cdrom. Please if any one can post the drivers file on this page it will help a fellow pda user a lot.
Thank you very much in advance.
Here you go, enjoy. Tried it and I got 150 - 175 kbs at www.dslreports.com/mspeed @ 200k and 600k tests. Granted it was at 12:37 a.m. and not a big load on the network cause everyone is probably asleep.
Hmm, becuase of this, now I want to sell off my unlocked sierra 775 edge card because it's of no use to me now. Man I love this phone more and more!

Hi all,
I am able to use my MDA Vario as modem for my laptop connecting the MDA Vario via USB but when I connect I do not see the GPRS connection on my MDA Vario connecting or being used so a big G stands in the top of my screen instead of a G with two arrows below it.
I use as modem settings:
Dial number *99#
Extra initialization command +CGDCONT=1,"ip","internet","",0,0
Is GPRS used now?
If not how can I configure the MDA Vario or modem on my laptop in such a way that is use GPRS?
I think the "G" icon does not change even if it is connected.
in the modem setting replace the word " internet " with your providers GPRS setting,
in the case of t-mobile it will be " internet2.voicesream.com"
and that's it!
When I change "internet" into "internet2.voicestream.com" I am not able to connect at all and when I have this setting set to "internet" I am able to connect and use my MDA Vario as Modem.
The only thing I am very interested in is how do I know if I am using GPRS or normal modem as connection? This because I have a GPRS abo and I do not want to use my normal phone abo for modem connection.
Does anyone know if the internet setting is OK and how I can see if GPRS is used?
Thanks.
yes, that I know it will use the GPRS or EDGE conection, It is only convinient if you have an unlimited data plan.
I dind't notice that you where in the us, look up in you photo what you use to connect to your GPRS setting, and then use the same onenceon the computer in the HTC modem window.
internet2.voicestrem.com is only for the unlimited data plan in the USA with T-mobile..
http://www.taniwha.org.uk/gprs.html
this is a link with some setting
The page you have mentioned http://www.taniwha.org.uk/gprs.html mention to use internet-act for settings in modem and I am not able to connect using internet-act. I only use internet as setting in initialization string and I can connect.
I am located in the Netherlands and I assume that this is the correct configuration to use my MDA Vario as modem for my laptop and connect via GPRS. Will see on my next bill. .

Using GPRS With A PC & XP

Ok - dence question coming up ... sorry but thanks if you can help.
I want to set my Laptop up to use GPRS dial up and not traditional modem dial up. To put this in to context my old Sony T610 had software that grabbed the GPRS settings of the phone and created a dial up connection.
Now I can create a dial up connection and even select the modem etc but what number do I tell it to dial ( the T610 did not have any numbers bar a # code ? ) and how do I get it to dial using GPRS ?
The Driver that comes with the phone seems to be just a standard modem driver and nothing special.....
Thanks in advance if you can

PS Tmobile UK.... MDA Vario
Well - no reply so I guess no one has tried... will try this on the PC

You'll need to enter the sim card providers settings so depends which provider it is. Info might be on PCMCIA installation disk?

But my problem is that my settings are a phone number and there's no place to put the phone number on the TyTN, only an acess point ...

Problem connecting GPRS on t-mobile MDA

hi, i just got a t-mobile MDA vario. its working arite on my operator but the only problem im facing is that it doesnt connects with my operator's GPRS. ive tried using another operator but still im unable to connect or browse thru it. Their CSR told me to get it reinstalled with an i-mate kjam configurations.
can sumbody help me out with it???
tx
Since you say T-mobile MDA vario i am assuming your using T-mobile Uk, all you need to do is create a new connection and enter general.t-mobile.uk as ur APN and then connect, no other settings needed. leave the username and password blank...
Start>Settings>Connections>Connections> Add a new modem connection (under my isp)> type in a connection name e.g My Connection select Cellular line (GPRS) as your modem> type the apn > blank username and pass> click connect and your done!!
hope that helps !
hey thx for the reply buddy, although i have a t-mobile mda vario but as i mentioned that im not using t-mobile services. I'm not even in uk is there any possibility that the gprs in this one is only compatible with t-mobile??? or is there anyother solution?
look on the ftp maybe for the extended roms of the imate or you can go online and lookup the settings that you would put into the connection part of the phone in the control panel.
who is your provider
Try hard resetting the device and try to connect again.
This has worked for me in the past when I had problems connecting.
im in pakistan. and i've configured my handset according to their settings but it's isnt working. i've checked with another operator but its of no use either.
can you please pass me the ftp link???
hard resetting goes like???
im a newbie
ok im done with the hard resetting, but its of no use in this case. where can i get ROM for its imate equivalent??
what if i have t-mobile mda in us what apn would i put?
knock knock... can somebody throw some light n help me out of it
