Anyone know why I can't get my MDA to link with my laptop for use as a modem? Laptop has found it, and installed drivers, I switched it on device to be used as a modem through usb cable, cannot get it to work. Any advice would be helpful.
after the modem is all installed, on the computer, did you go to the dial up connection, into the tcp/ip properties, click the advanced box, and did you uncheck "use ip header compression"? It should be unchecked (off, not on, kaput, etc)
Also, can you get online on the phone itself? (not tethered) If not, that could be the problem too
and the MAC?

this should help...
instead of internet use "internet2.voicestream.com" if you are using tmobile..
Has anyone got it running on OSX on the mac!?!

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
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!

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.

Hi,
My house is Wi-fi enabled (i.e. we have a wifi-router connected to our broadband) and I can surf the internet from my M3100. I do not have a wifi-card for my PC, and was wondering if there is a way to use my phone as a bridge? E.g. I'd like to connect my phone to my PC via the USB cable, and connect my phone to the internet via wi-fi with the net result of being able to access the internet from my PC.
Firstly, is this possible? Secondly if it is possible with wmodem then I appear to have a problem, for when I run wmodem (with active sync closed/disabled), then connect the USB cable to my PC, I do not get the 'found new hardware' box, and I can't get the USB modem driver to install (trying to manually add new hardware and browse to the .inf file does not work - it doesn't seem to see any driver in the inf). I'm using windows XP.
Any help you can offer will be appreciated,
Steve

Hi,
Did you get anywhere trying to bridge modem and wi-fi?
I've also had a problem with the PC not recognising the modem... did u get a resolution?
Jamie
Is it something where I can use as a modem if I connect it to my notebook or computer if I don't have internet service or if I am on the road?
I have the Cingular 8125 and have the MediaNet unlimited package...is that all I need to do it or will I be charged for trying this?
Thanks!
Did your phone not come with a manual?
Modem Link uses the data connection on your phone to share the internet connection with a pc or laptop...if you don't have a data connection it's not going to do you any good.
I have medianet unlimited data plan...I did some searching yesterday ...it connected..but I couldn't browse at all...I also tried connecting with bluetooth but it kept saying Error 633
help please...
I have Tmobile and their data plan so I can speak to that. I use the Wizard as a modem and log into the GPRS network. I tried connecting via USB but was never all that successful so I tried via a bluetooth link and it works and works repeatably. First thing you have to do is establish the connection the right way, on my Dell it can be either a dial up networking connection or serial port, here you need dial up network. On Tmobile you dial in by dialing *99# and then you're logged in automatically and I can browse the net, send emails or whatever, it's like a fast dialup but slow by broadband comparisons. I'd have to say I spent a fair amount of time messing around with this using different settings, if you can log into your net then you should be able to browse. I do not use modem link however. I upgraded my ROM to the latest Tmobile rev and it was gone, just as well because I don't need it.
Modem link allows you to use the GPRS connectivity on your phone to connect your laptop/pc to the internet.
To use this you need
USB Cable for your phone OR a laptop with an InfraRed port
HTC USB Modem driver - should be on a CD provided with the phone, O2 UK provide it on a CD labelled Wireless Modem Driver.
_______________________________
Run the Modem Link application on your phone select either "IRDA COMM"(This InfraRed if you haven't guess) or "USB" as appropriate. If using USB connect the phone to the PC/Laptop now, if InfraRed align the ports now.
PC/Laptop will detect the device as Generic Serial and ask what it should do to find driver (assuming your using Windows XP), at this point you use the CD with the driver on browse to the folder containing the driver and click Next.
finish the hardware installation and your modem is ready to go.
If you want to use your GPRS connection provided by your network create a new dial up connection on your laptop set to use the HTC USB Modem as its modem, and set the phone number to *99# username should be the same as in your phones GPRS settings.
Hope this helps.
ok I accomplished setting and running as USB...I dont have infared...but I want to connect wirelessly thru my bluetooth device, "Blue Soleil" ....I'm having trouble..it say I'm connected to COM14 then it automatically disconnects and give me an error "Dialing *99#.... Error 692: There was a hardware failure in the modem (or other connecting device)."
Might not be much help but I always had issues connecting my notebook using Modem Link via Bluetooth. I don't think the BT stack thats on this device plays well with some other chipsets when it comes to modem connectivity. Could just be my experience though. I just broke down and got a short 1 foot USB cable I carry with my laptop.
Media Link is Great
I use Media Link to connect my desktop to the net at home. I live in the middle of nowhere and don't see the point having my wizard and a home phone just to connect at a dial-up speed. That's right, it's not very fast...but it works. If you have T-mobile, put in the cd that you got with the MDA and open it. In the CD you will find an OEM folder that gives you instructions on where to load the driver and how to set up the connection. It turns it into a modem.
I have Cingular and based on your instructions...the CD looks the same where it has the OEM folder and driver..but the installation instructions is only for USB type connection..
I Lost the CD
Can someone post the drivers from the CD? I have lost my CD and I want to connect my computer at work to the internet.. can someone help me out? I have T-Mobile MDA and unlimited internet plant.

Just got HTC Advantage 7501 and am having problems connecting my laptop to DialUp Server. I checked my old set up (with BlueAngel) and there's Bluetooth Dial Up Server that allows connecting laptop via Bluetooth to the HTC as a dial up modem to the internet. At least that's how it worked with Verizon here in US.
Can somebody suggests how to deal with this case? Am I missing some drivers or anything? In short - what am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

Have you tried using "Internet Sharing?" You can connect via USB or BT...
Yes, that's exactly it, thank you!
I to Internet connection sharing, connected to internet via 3G cellular connection and hooked up laptop to Advantage via Bluetooth Network Access Point. That worked.
PAN Working?
I've been trying to get this working for the last day. My X7501 is discoverable, I can see it for other bluetooth profiles. When I try to add the device by clicking "Join Personal Area Network" on my laptop it then prompts me to search for another device. I can't see my Athena. I can see another computer that supports PAN, just not the Athena.
Any thoughts?

Check if there is a drop-down box that displays "Show computers only" and change it to "Show all devices". That, of course, if you are using Win XP
