Use XDA II as a modem for laptop

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

Bluetooth / GPRS / Laptop / MDAII

And another question about bluetooth modem/gprs/laptop...
Even though I've read all (I guess) questions and answers here.
I want to browse over the internet using my MDAII as a bluetooth modem.
- My provider is T-mobile in the Netherlands
- MDA bluetooth is in discoverable mode
- On my Windows XP pro laptop I have paired my MDA
- I've got a bluetooth modem configured in Control panel with the string AT+CDGCONT=1,"IP","internet",0,0
- Number to dial is *99#
When I doubleclick the DUN I get a messagebox which tells me to pick up the handset, dail *99# and click OK. When I do that nothing happens and the connection is disconnected.
I tried to give in the phonenumber in a terminal window (ATD*99#), then I see CONNECT and the usual garbage, but when I close the window it is still disconnected.
A "query modem" in the modem configuration is succesfull. My laptop is able to communicate with the modem, but that is all.
What do I do wrong?
I've tried using an USB modem, but that gives the same result.

if you are using pocketplus or another program which close applications insted of minimizing them when you press the X
then i guess closing the connection windows would close the connection

Thanks for your reply.
I'm just using Wmodem on my MDA and a DUN connection on the laptop. Everything as simple as possible. The terminal window is an option from the DUN connection.

Tmob-Compact Usb modem

Hello all,
I know this has been covered so many times but I cant seem to get an all in one solution. I can find countless walkthroughs but no drivers anywhere.
I have Tmobile MDA compact which I want to use as a USB GPRS modem on either win xp or win 2000.
I dont have my CD so no driver. Does anyone have the USB driver or a link?
IF anyone uses this I would love to hear some success stories. I did try to do this 6 months ago on an old pc when I first got the device but no luck.
I would really find it helpfull if I could get this working today!!
Thanks!

Hi yarod_g14,
I use this for cheap, but slow internet access. You'll need to find the usb_modemdialler. I'll upload it this evening if you're still interested by then. It wasn't on the cd, found it somewhere on the web. Works great: start wireless modem (set accesspoint in the options) on the magician then connect usb start usb_modemdialer check accespoint & connect. If there's a driver too I'll upload it aswell, can't remember.
Cheers, M
Somehow attachments don't work for me.

That would be so appreciated!
Thanks very much!

If somebody needs: The HTC Modem Driver from the supplied CD, to use the Device as a modem on PC/Notebook

Hi yarod_g14,
I've uploaded a tiny zip file USBModem_Dialer.zip in the \USB_modem folder. It contains an inf for the modem & the dialer itself which requirers no installation , just run it. Remember to install the modem first.
Have fun, M

I have had trouble with this up until recently.
1st make sure your gprs connection works by itself on your PPC.
I disabled active sync over usb on both my PPC and my laptop from within active sync itself.
I then loaded up the Wmodem application on my ppc and clicked "tools" in this menu i checked "preset GPRS connection" and in the APN field i entered my APN name (for me it was orangeinternet) after clicking "ok" i was back to the main program screen.....i then clicked "start" and attached my USB cable to my laptop.
My laptop (windows XP) detected a new USB device, which i gave it the modem inf file attached in the post above this then gave me a "HTC USB Modem" in device manager.
Using the USBModem_Dialer.exe application, i had a drop down box at the bottom which was named "HTC USB Modem" and i changed the APN field to my network providers APN address (orangeinternet for me) my network provider does not require a username and password so this was left blank.
I then choose "Dial" after about 10 seconds my laptop causes my gprs connection on my phone to connect and then shows a stanard dial up connection icon in the taskbar.
Hope this helps!

Thnx Impossible,
U filled in the gaps. I included them as .pwi in the new zip upload (same name & place), so everyone can benefit.

Is there any way of getting the Magician to be a IrDA (Infrared) modem, instead of a USB/Bluetooth modem? I need it to be IrDA for my old laptop

Hi jainoxi,
Googling around for 'modem dialer ir' I found this: http://www.pdastreet.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-39280.html
They're talking bout ir pda modem dialing mobile phones & required drivers, so maybe your wishlist is there discussed as well
Cheers, M

Hello!
Impossible: did you set up a new dialup modem connection before to connect the jam via usb?
I mean, i tried to use the jam as a modem. I followed your step by step tutorial. But it doesn t launch any gprs connection on my phone ;(
Could anybody tell me much about this?
thx by advance

This is how I make the connection:
- disconnect magician from usb
- disconnect from gprs
- start Wireless Modem program on magician
- check connection type usb
- check tools -> options: preset gprs connection & give in accesspoint name
- press start button
- disable usb connection in PC AS
- connect magician to usb
- install modem driver
(now you should see your htc modem in the modem control panel item)
- run usbmodem_dialer
- check the modem in the lowest box & access point in the first (tmo doesn't use user/password)
- hit the connect or whatever button to set up the connection, takes about 10 seconds
Now you're connected or you'll receive an error. I noticed that sometimes I have to add a ,0 to the init string from the modem (on the pc)
Does this help?

Well these are the steps i followed but it doesn t work...
I suppose it s linked to a msg appearing when i try to acces modem options configuration tab in the xp's control pannel. It says:
The phone and modem control pannel cannot be opened. This may occur some problem in the phone service' startup (sorry for my translation, in fact my msg comes in french as it s my os language).
So i ll stop with this, i ll format my computer in a month so I hope this will resolve this =)
Thanks anyway!

OK, then good luck with your re-installation. I guess you're problem relies in that area. Too bad cause it works fine.
Regards, M

Using a jasjar for internet on PC through bluetooth

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:

SAme here. It's a known issue

Im thinking to try:
Mobile stream USB Modem for PPC.
Somebody have test it?

IM getting the same thing now. If this is a known issue, and this was like 3 months ago is there any more news on this? Its becoming a right old pain in the backside for me right now!

I have two hermes, both with the same problem. I connect using dial up (bluetooth) but 300 kbps instead of 800

I can connect just fine over IrDA when using GPRS. I don't have bluetooth on my laptop, but I guess the transfer rate over bluetooth is to slow for a fullspeed connection. I can't test that either: I have the low-budget option Pocket Internet Total from T-mobile which is downgraded to 64kbps over UMTS.
For using fullspeed UMTS (3G) even HSDPA, I would recommend using the USB connection.
Two things that can make trouble:
a) I found was that when using the USB cable, I had to disable the automatic connection some programs try to make (such as direct push)
b) I used COM8 for my bluetooth gps: after setting the gps to com0, I could connect without any problem
I read in some thread that you had to disable the advance network features over USB but as far as I can tell that only limits the speed over usb (my guess: USB 1.0 (1.1) in stead of 2.0)

I have a tytn and it works great, I get 3g speeds between 900 and 1300.
1) Plug the usb cable into your pc
2) Make sure you have activesync USB connection disabled
3) Disconnect your gprs or 3g connection (this is real important)
4) Activate the wireless modem app, start connection
5) make sure your gprs/3g connection is inactive
6) plug your pda into the usb cable
7) pc recognizes the wireless modem
8) install driver
9) Create dial up to *99# or whatever your carrier uses
10) Again make sure your gprs/3g connection is inactive
11) dial using your dialup shortcut
after the first time, all you have to do in make sure your gprs/3g connection is disconnected, start the wireless modem app, plug into your usb cable, dial the *99# using your wirelss modem dialup shortcut
I have it working on both Windows Xp and Windows Vista...It is a great backup to my local internet connection and it is very easy to use

Pardon me if there is a difference, but on my Hermes to use its internal data connection as the bearer you have to use *99# (NOT #99*) as the number to dial when configuring the dial-up connection in Dial-Up Connections.
When I tried it (several times) on my XP laptop, it was almost childishly simple: regardless of whether the phone was already plugged in via USB or not, just load the wireless modem app, set the APN to general.t-mobile.uk, hit Start and bam: I wait for it to initialise (the lights in the application window light up to show connection and data, and once those show up just hit dial. No username, no password, Robert's your mother's brother. Worked every time I tried it.
Using a T-Mobile UK-branded Hermes fwiw.

the only CD i have that came in the box is the one that gives you ACTIVE SYNC and OUTLOOK.
Where online can I get the drivers?
My problem is my computer is not recognizing this phone as a modem.

Why not read the Hermes wiki for some very usefull information:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
The hermes wiki Faq http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_FAQs would have pointed you to a link to download the htc wireless modem driver:
http://www.box.net/public/jytpxq47nk
or search google for HTC Wireless Modem download
and you would have found instructions at
