i-mate (Widcomm bt stack) and Dial-Up Networking

Hi all!
I have installed the WidComm stack, but since then I cannot use my i-mate as a GPRS Dial-Up Modem. When I select Dial-Up from the Bluetooth devices, after some seconds it pops up a window where I can enter my username, password and the number to be dialed. But when I press Dial, nothing more happens, just a window pops up saying "Dialing *99#..." but then I get an error message "Error 692: There was a hardware failure in the modem...".
I tried it with and without Hardware flow control etc., with and without AT command +cdgcont=1,"IP","internet",0,0 still no success.
On the other hand my old MS Stack lost its SSA profile somehow, so I cannot connect through that one either anymore.
Since noone is saying anything about this issue, I assume everybody is happy and has it working, am I right? :wink:
Any ideas? :?: Please help, I need it badly... :?

I have the exact same problem. Have you found the solution?
I think it's caused by the widcomm stack that was extracted from a non phone-edition ppc (which of course cannot be used as a modem). maybe the extracted stack from a hp 6300 works?
Funny thing is I also can't connect via IR.
l did a hard reset & voila, I can use my xda2 as a wireless bluetooth gprs modem again.

Putra,
really ? after a new format u were able to connect using GPRS and USB without any problems ?
I' have the same problem with my i-mate k-jam latest WWE rom...
Error 692: There was a hardware failure in the modem !!!
And the connection were dropped down...
Maybe could be the SPB GPRS Monitor program ?
I've disabled all possible thing related to ActiveSync and Usb connection , either on pc and my k-jam....
I'm goin' to be crazy !!!
Only one time i was able to connect for up to 2 minute, without any problems... and then, after i've tried again to estabilish a new connection, i won't be able... it sais Error 892.... !!!
Anyone Could Help me ?
Thanks a lot in advance...
Raid.

sorry...
Sorry there, but it was so long ago, I cannot even remember what I did.
I have upgraded to the Prophet since Jan, and no longer using the Xda2... it's now my backup in case something happens to my Prophet.

The Bluetooth connection works fine... but sometimes the modem still "hang" and i got Error 692 or TCP Error 743... it seems that the major problems are caused by the ActiveSync, when i disable the USB connection either on my phone and on my laptop everything goes fine...
With the USB connection....no way at all ! After 2 minutes the connection is terminated.... even if i've disabled ActiveSync USB connection...
Hope this helps....
Alessio.

Nothing to do....
Also using BT stack (Microsoft) after few minutes my wireless modem seems still connected, but i cannot send/receive packets over the internet.
It seems like frozen !!!
And after i've clicked the "Disconnect" through the dialup connection icon on my task bar, my wireless modem doesn't respond anymore... i need to reset my device and sometimes this doesn't works at all, Windows stop responding while i'm trying to open the "Network Connections" panel... after the timeout completed and the dialup is disconnected i can open it again !
What's the problem !?
I'm downloading the new Dell BT stack for my laptop... i'll update you again...
I cannot figure the problem is my device... i can surf with opera beta for WM5 without any problems !!!

I solved the problem....
I've upgraded my MS BT stack with the Dell BT stack new update (Latitude D410).
Everything seems working fine now, i can stay connected above 15 minutes now... in this moment i'm writing throught my EDGE connection
I cannot use the USB modem... after 2 minutes i cannot send/receive packets anymore... i've disabled ActiveSync either on phone and laptop !
Some one could help with the USB and my Wizard?
Thanks.

How to use P3600 as HSDPA Modem

I want to setup my P3600 (English ROM) as a 3.5G modem for my PC but not successful yet. The Telco service staff has no idea too and pass me a manual for dopod 838 pro. The mentioned programs are not there, nor in my dopod D810 CD.
I can:
- Activesync using USB
- Activesync using bluetooth
Question:
- Should I use the same HTC modem dialer on my PC for XDA?
- Should I use the Start->Program->Internet Sharing?. It allows me to choose bluetooth or USB to PC but both not working too after connect.
Anyone successfully connect their PC via P3600 using HSDPA, pls share the steps. Many thanks.

Eventually, I figure it out myself.
Forget all the HTC modem dialer or wireless modem program as in Xda.
1. Start->Program->Internet Sharing on WM5.0
2. Select the connection type: USB or BT
3. Select "Connect"
4. Then connect the USB and done.
For BT, it would have instruction for you to start PAN now. done.
Woo, it's much easier than the HTC dialer. But now my problem is VPN problem with my telco.

Thanks very much for reporting this info back, it will come in useful when I get my trinity!

just 2¢...
Sadly, because Internet Sharing is actually a NAT server running on your phone, it could prevent you from using 'classic' VPN. You can find more details by googling for 'VPN over NAT'.

for VPN purposes you can always use old good wireless modem mode. it works well.

I don't think it is related to NAT. As long as the VPN ports are opened, it should work. I am using a Wireless router at home and no trouble at all for using VPN under NAT.
Checked with telco. They can enable it for me with extra charge/month. and also the traffic would be charged as expensive GPRS plan. What kind of service!!!
Think twice before subscribing. I used "WonToFee / 1-1-" . The sales that say it can work for VPN may not even know what a TCP port is.
Anyone has use VPN over HSDPA with another telco? e.g. SMOOTH TONE

Hello,
This thread is a bit old, however I think it is related to my problem: I am trying to use Internet Sharing on my P3600 (ROM 1.23.405.2 / Radio ROM 1.38.00.11). Using BT, it works just fine. However, when connected on USB it works fine only for the first time. When I tap "disconnect", the HSDPA connection is stopped, but the status keeps displaying "Connected". There is now way to use Internet Sharing again before a soft reset (Windows XP wouldn't even recognize the P3600 again). Is this a known issue? I have googled a bit, but I haven't found any similar problems.
Thanks!

Hi shefful,
I have had the same problem. I have come across a possible solution while browsing forums. When you need to disconnect press and hold down the red end call button for a few seconds and this disconnects the modem. I haven't tried this yet but it's worth a shot.

Adam

Hi adamwolfe,
Thanks for your help, unfortunatelly this is not the solution to my problem. The GPRS connection ends (according to the icon on top of the screen), but the status keeps displaying "Connected". The application stops responding and can't be stopped from Settings/Memory/Runnning Programs.

Hi shefful,
Yeah, I have the same problem too. Looks like the program freezes in the Connected status. Even tried terminating Internet Sharing with Start/Settings/.../Memory/Running Programs and relaunching Internet Sharing.
Sometimes I get a popup message saying the remote host has terminated the connection before the program hangs. I think this may be the cause of the problem. Which mobile operator are you on?
Rebooting is the only solution so far. Fortunately the Trinity reboots in 20 seconds - one of the fastest in the PPC market I think.

Hi ayhansan,
For other reasons I needed to hard reset my Trinity and the freezing problem has disappeared. I don't know what had caused this problem, I just hope it won't happen again. If I disconnect the USB cable, the status changes to "disconnected" and I can always reconnect.

same problem here
i am connecting to laptop thru USB
after I disconnect UMTS phone syaing still connected
and want kill Internet Sharing
???
thanks

WMODEM Connection Problem!

Please, somebody help me with this problem... I am trying to connect my laptop using DUP and my Imate Jam. I have them paired, and when I dial up I have a yellow light showing I am connected to my Laptop via BT (regular MS Stack). I notice that the Send Data and Receive Data begin flashing, so I know communication is working. My laptop registers on the network, then I get a 734 ppp protocol error message and will not connect. I can't seem to get my laptop to get past this error message, but I feel I am so close to actually being able to use my Jam as a BT Wireless Modem... Please help - this is the best forum for help and I need it!

Figured it out!
Okay... I found out how to make it work, but it was crazy! All I did was soft reset my Jam and got connected at 115.2 Kbps using my laptop and my imate jam as a BT Modem! My connection seems faster using my laptop with my Jam then browsing directly from the Jam! The only thing that stinks is that I had to hard reset to remove the BT patch and go back to the original Microsoft Stack. I am very happy now!

Using Bluetooth modem really sucks your battery. Why wouldnt you try USB modem? It may be extra faster(maybe) and charges your device too!

Wireless modem ...

Hi to all , i'm a new user of TYTN .
I always use it as a modem to surf the web via BT in conjunction with my laptop.
My question is : there is a way to defaul the wireless modem to BT ( it default to usb ) when start the program and ( maybe ) the program starts automatically without select MENU>START....
ALSO : i saw that the internal modem work also when the device is into sleep mode and without starting the wireless modem but in this case the connection hang after few minutes ( i think the BT connection to the PC hang ).
If the device is in active state the internal modem work too and fine but if no data is exchanged for a while the device goes to sleep without advice then connection hang.
No problem using the wireless modem .
Again ... there is a way to add the internet sharing via PAN BT like hermes' brothers ( P3600) ???
thx in advance
Greeting from Italy
Davide

I'm having the same problem, also in Italy on TIM. I have tried two different SIM cards, different data plans, and can not find any pattern to the disonnects. If the connection sits idle, it will suddenly stop passing traffic. I have at times been able to keep the connection active by running a game (WoW) in the background on my laptop, but as soon as I the game quits due to timeout (not playing), the connection gets "stale" and dies. Other times, the game will not keep the connection active either. The time it stays active is inconsistent as well. Sometimes when I connect, I get no received packets, only sent. If I disconnect/reconnect 4 or 5 times, usually I will get a good connect and be able to open a web page. I do find it is worse in the daytime than in the evenings, but this is not always true.
BTW, I'm on a TyTn, MacBook Pro w/ the modem script linked from the wiki.
Any ideas?

@ jcolley :
i don't know about macbook , but a problem like your appear on micro$oft XP with the built in bluetooth stack .... much more better use the widcomm stack or toshiba stack for bluetooth

Nope, as there still isn't an AKU3 ROM for the TyTN.
As far as disconnection problems are concerned, try using a desktop-based ping utility to keep up the connection.

WPA2 on pda2k with WM6

Hi All,
Currently using a iMate pda2k (Blue Angel) with the first-released Helmi Windows Mobile 6 Professional ROM installed. I've really got two problems, but one that is annoying me more, and that is that I can't connect to my home wireless network because I have got WPA2-Personal security enabled. I found on another forum post that I need to update the AKU, but i'm pretty sure I did that when I first installed the ROM. My other problem is that I can't turn the GSM radio off (phone). But i'm more in need for a solution to the WPA2 problem. Should I upgrade to a newer ROM, because i'm thinking of updating to Windows Mobile 6.1 or is there another solution (please no 'go back to Windows Mobile 2003!).
Thanks in Advance,
Timbo.

The BA WLAN driver does not support WPA2, some users report that they ca connect to WPA2 protected networks but these cases are rare

You may try a combination of WPA/WPA2 with TKIP encription (not AES) if the router will let you. I just returned a new Belkin N router back just because my BA wont connect to the wifi, even with WPA/WPA2 mixed mode.

Hello,
If it helps you, I have a Zyxel HW660-D1 and using wpa/tkip I can connect with my BA, but only with xplode WM6.1 roms and helmi old rom (that with wifidriver v2), with other WM6.1 roms (Dvha79_ddt or Hoangdat_vista from PDAViet) I can't connect to my wireless.
Our beloved BA isn't compatible with WPA2 - AES encryption, I think it's because of wireless chipset limitation.

PDA2K WM6 Professional issues
I am badly in need of help guys out there !!! Please get off this hook !!!
I have exactly the same problem you are having, I have been trying to work on all these issues for about 4 days until now. I can not get connected to my home wireless lan neither do I can restore my phone contacts. I even tried to go for an upgrade to another WM which is 6.1 and 6.5, but with no use cause every time I try to upgrade my PDA2K device disconnects and nothing happens except for "error 101 connection" that keeps appearing everytime I try to upgrade.
Help me out guys pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez

I am not sure how many times i have said this, BA + WPA2 = No GO, use WPA-PSK TKIP instead BA does not support WPA2, there are very rare situations that the access point can connect it in compatiblity mode like WPA, but it depends on the model ot the AP, Router, Modem or whatever device you use

I think you are mixing 3 problems here which should be addressed separately.
Posible Solutions:
#1:Read Xplodes post right after yours
#2:Clarify if you can or can not. "If Cannot" Restoring contacts saved on your phone requires the use of Active Sync. It also requires MS Outlook on your PC. You can sync via USB or Via Blue Tooth. Does your phone sync with your pc?
#3:Error 101 during flashing of new ROM = you have not connected your phone to the PC or its not in Serial Mode. You must follow step by step procedures on BlueAngel Wiki.

error 101 is present when the device is not in bootloader mode prior to upgrade, with wm2003 this was possible because thre was command to put the device in bootloader mode trough activesync, but in newer os it does not work
