Hi,
Ok after the breakthrough regarding the ROM updates for QTEK 1010 and it was first revealed here on xda-develpers.com we have some new options in the QTEK now one of them is the WM.
Did anyone manage to use the Wireless Modem via IRDA because its not working the first thing is that the computer is seeing the device on infrared but not as a modem and i dont have an *.inf file to indentify it. If anyone managed to use his QTEK or any XDA via infrared to connect his laptop to the internet using GPRS plz explain how.
thanks

Install software at own risk, but this exposes a permanent COM port using IrDA. Also nukes Wireless Link in the process.
Setup a manual modem, select the COM port from above, presto!
Ummm its a good idea but i am not sure if this will work on Windows XP... what do you think?
it does
it does, but as with all things apply with care
Tried it
I tried this a long time ago, IRCOMM2k works on XP but the problem is that i couldn't figure out how to setup a IR generic Modem working on that port.
Yes please, this is a good article,
I installed the ircomm2k on my XP, but how to configure the connection from my laptop to connect to the internet via my XDA PDA as an external modem?
to setup xda as a modem
1. Install Ircomm. note which com port is assigned as permanent.
2. Add new modem: standard 33600
3. Select com port from item 1 as the com port of choice
4. Edit modem profile in devices settings, in Extra Initialisation Commands add AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","apn name"
5. VERY IMPORTANT: set flow control to OFF
6. Set port speed to 115200 ONLY
Set up a Mobile Web net connection as per your operator
Select your above modem
Align xda with irda port; select start on Wmodem app
Double click Mobile Web connection.
Surf. It's OK but not as fast as a GPRS card.
OR you can wait for O2 to eventually post some instructions...
Thank you very much for your feedback
I did all what you asked me to do, but its not working it gave me an error message:
Error 692: There was a hardware failure in the modem (or other connecting device).
I replaced AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","apn name" BY AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","apn01" same as Im using in my PDA. Am I right?
Something I didn't understand in your reply:
(Set up a Mobile Web net connection), you mean a normal dial-up connection?
One more thing, what do you mean by (select start on Wmodem app)?
Do I have to do anything in my PDA before I connect from my laptop? or do I have to do anything in my PDA configuration or connections settings?
Please help me, I want to use the Gprs on my laptop, no need to pay for 2 services, one for the PDA and other for my laptop

"select start on Wmodem app" - this means go into the Wireless Modem application on the xda, select IrDA (if thats now you are connecting) and then tap the Start button.
When you've done that, go the the DUN connection on laptop and connect as you normally do.
Unfortunatly I dont have "Wireless Modem application" on my XDA from where I can get it?
I thought the command was:
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","apn name","",0,0
I don't know about the command but what Im sure about it is that wModem application is mandatory, so from where I can get it?

HI. I HAVE AN OLDISH LAPTOP RUNNING WIN ME. WILL IRCOMM2K WORK ON ME OR IS IT INTENDED (AS NAMED) FOR WIN 2K AND XP ONLY?

Hi
The wireless modem will be available in the next ROM update from the xda team. I understand that this will be released in the next couple weeks - they are in the final stages of testing.
We will highlight the new ROM on our homepage with a link to the downloadable files.

Hmm... really good question. ME is an update to 98 as I recall, but a clunky upgrade.
Way to check: Setup a new modem. When it asks which COM port you wish to use, if you can select Virtual Infrared COM port then it should work fine.
Get the instructions at www.o2.co.uk/xda on Help and Support.
Anyone know what the T-Mobile USA network connections for using WModem are?
For UK O2 they are:
Primary DNS - 193.113.200.200
Alternate DNS - 193.113.200.201
User name - O2Web
Password - password
Has anyone used wmodem in the US with T-Mobile as a service provider?
Thanks,
JP
Qtek as wireless modem
I also have oldish ME Laptop computer. I did exactly as described on O2 support site. It does not work. The modem on laptop immediately disconnects saying it's not responding properly.
I have tried several cooked versions of the 4..00.16 Eng T-Moble and the 4.00.11 ENG WM2003 roms and niether one installs the WModem app. Any ideas why?
I have a T-Mobile version of the PPC, radio stack 6.24
WM with old laptop computer
It worked for me. I could connect my oldish ME notebook computer to internet over gprs using WM in xda. I used the extra string from o2 and just changed the access point name.
It goes as this:
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","apn"
It works, but the WM just stops responding the moment you disconnect the connection from PC. The PC waits and waits for the confirmation and then hangs up saying no reponse. But as long as you are connected it works very well.
I flashed my T-Mobile phone with the cooked version of 4.00.16 from Jeff's kitchen, but now unable to browse the Internet with Pocket IE or use Avantgo. However, I can ping web sites using vxUtil, update time on my phone, and log in with MSN Messenger. Is there a new setting in WM2003 that I am not getting? I configured the ISP connection as: Cellular Line (GPRS) and used internet2.voicestream.com as my access point. I had no problems using the original ROM and SER 1.2. What are my options? Downgrade to SER 1.2? I was unable to directly downgrade, it appears I need to use bootloader and reflash to 1.2 ...
Thanks!
See if this will help!
Use Pocket File Explorer to locate and run welcome.exe.
Note: welcome.exe is located in your Windows root folder
also if you're unable to see/find welcome.exe it may be hidden
if that be the case just tap&hold on a blank spot and select
"View All Files".
Oh yea make sure Pocket IE is closed before you run welcome.exe. :lol:
HTH
I have a wallaby with the XDA special edition ROM, and I'm using it with the Telefonica operator in Chile.
I just made the connections settings for the internet settings as the Telefonica company told me:
Cellular Line (GPRS)
APN: web.tmovil.cl
and in the dialing locations tab, under dialing patterns I set up the phone number to be dialed: *99***1# in the "For International calls, dial". (this is the only place where I can set the dialing number)
the user is "web" an password "web"
I believe all is ok, but when I try to make a connection, the phone shows the following message:
Phone:
UNKNOWN APPLICATION ..... Is this message ok?
and after that, it shows a Trouble Connecting message:
"The answering modem has disconnected. Verify the phone number and then try again. To change your... "
Any help?
Thanks a lot
i got that message when i didnt select the GPRS line...but you've done that :?
I'm thinking tha may be the radio version. My device have the 6.18.0 version.
Any ideas????
Unknown Application solved
Finally I solved the problem changing the ROM version in my XDA.
I installed the A.30.09 ENG T-mobile version, with the same settings for Telefonica in Chile and every thing connected OK.
Dear friends of XDA-developers, what do you think about this?
I has to be something with the different systems between Europe and America???
I thought that that was impossible to cross network settings accross other carriers ie o2 over orange internet too but igotta thinking theoretics again an thought back to basics an realized a description change "ityhere" an there "an sum proppa details umite jus be able to piggy back it altho as previously stated iaint rooted an am unable atmo indespite phone comp sayin iusd 170gb data last month neityeedless say my endless searches for knowledge wud continue aslong as i new there is always a way for me to help others or improve possible security loops
I have successfully connected with the Qtek 9100 AKU2 ROM (the latest stable ROM for HTC Wizard) to Cingular via Bluetooth and Mac OS X 10.4.6. Instructions:
1. Pair OSX and the phone. You might need to check the "any device" checkbox on OSX's pairing utility.
2. Verify to OSX that you do want to use that device as a modem (if you don't get that dialog, then you will need to create the Bluetooth connection yourself -- message me or leave a comment if you need instructions and I will reply to you).
3. RENAME the attached iPAQ-GSM.txt to plain iPAQ-GSM (remove the .txt extention using the Finder 'Get Info' dialog). Copy the file "iPaq-GSM" to your /Library/Modem Scripts/ folder. I modified the original script that was floating on the internet for a year now in order to work with Cingular (the original script wouldn't get a carrier signal with my phone -- it needed some small initialization changes).
4. Go to your System Preferences/Network/Bluetooth/. There enter the following:
Service Provider: Cingular
Account Name: [email protected] (case sensitive)
Password: CINGULAR1 (case sensitive)
Tel number: *99# (the *99***1# number that does work with other phones doesn't work with the HTC Wizard)
On PPP options uncheck "tcp header compression".
On the Modem tab uncheck both "enable error correction" and "wait for dial tone". From the modem drop-down menu select the iPaq-GSM modem script.
Then, click Apply and then open the "Internet Connect" application and select Bluetooth from there. Click "Connect" and you should now be connected on the net via Cingular GPRS/EDGE.
Alternatively, you can create a new networking bluetooth connection instead of using the generic bluetooth networking pref panel, but that involves a bit more work -- although I personally prefer it as I have over 8 phones and I need different networking connection names and settings for each, instead of using the default "Bluetooth" one. If you are on the same boat, IM me or leave a comment for more instructions.
Thanks
dude you just made my day. It works perfectly. Thank God for people smarter then me.
Unfortunately, in my AKU2 QTek ROM, the PPP server dies right after I disconnect from the Mac. I have to reboot the PocketPC before I can reconnect my Mac to GPRS.
If anyone knows more, please download the script above and tell us if there is a way to fix this.

hey guys,
just wondering if you've been able to sync your MDA(Wizard) to your mac. and if so, how? also, any luck updating ROMS without a PC?

I live in Switzerland and I bought HTC Shift from US.
I'm trying to connect in SnapVUE via 3g SIM but I always get "the answering modem has disconnected".
Can perhaps help i00 rom ? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=480525&highlight=sim+lock)
Any help ?
Thanks.
Most probably you need to enter the correct GPRS/UMTS username/pass in your connection settings.
You could also do a "clear snapvue" and have the automatic settings take effect.
Find your APN username and password for your GPRS telco and enter it in connection settings, You might even need to create a new 3G connection first.
Flash i00 ROM anyway, it will greatly enhance your shift.
Hi lucid,
I don't have GPRS/UMTS username/pass.
The SIM I'm using works well without user/pass on a Tytn II so I don't think they are required, aren't they?
When you say "Clear SnapVUE" do you mean to reset it using HTC official tool?
Because I already did it.
When I try to set up conection I do the following (read on HTCmanual):
Snapvue --> Settings --> Connection setup --> select country and carrier --> autoconfigure --> restart
After that I try to connect but get the same errors.
Thanks for help; I have to make it works.
