XDA is a pc(in a way), and with a pc i can connect to any other phone and transfer data from IR. how come is so difficult with a XDA ppc, since he recognizes all the phones names but no data transfer from the beam. With my original rom I could connect to some of them but now is inpossible with the rom 2003final that I cooked myself. Is there any way I can get a better connection so I can transfer data to other Phones or viceversa. Thanks for the understanding.

Okay, I've searched for several hours so I don't act like a true newbie and ask a dumb question that's been asked a hundred times, but I can't find anything definite on this, so here goes.
I have a new Cingular 8525 and have Cingular's PDA Connect Unlimited data plan. I am in a 3G area. I have an out of the box phone with Windows Mobile 5 with no ROM updates or hacks on it.
I would like to take my laptop in the car and hook my phone to it and have my laptop use the 3G connection that my phone is providing. I know you can setup a modem connection, and I've done that, but it only connects at 115k, which is the fastest setting the modem driver and bluetooth dongle have listed. I would like to be surfing on my laptop at the 3G speeds.
I know there are implications where Cingular may or may not charge me, because I am supposed to possibly have something called the Laptop Connect plan, but lets assume that's not an issue.
Also, whichever way is easiest, I can either use my USB cord to tether my phone and laptop together or use my Bluetooth on my laptop and connect that way.
Anyone have the steps on how to make this work?
Thanks
Did you ever get this working?
I have almost the same situation: a Tom Tom GO 720 device that will talk to the 8525's Handsfree service via Blue Tooth, but says that the phone is not advertising the DUN service.
Got it working
I did two things to make it work.
First, I got Internet Sharing working by using the cabinet called UPRREY-ICS[1].cab that you can find on this forum site. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1564979#24. This will install a link to the Internet Sharing application and show it under Programs.
That made my laptop able to use the GPRS connection. This uses the Bluetooth PAN to tether the laptop and the phone. (but be careful - your plan might not allow large data transfers).
Second, I found two files, also on this forum site, called WM6_DUN.zip (or separately as BT_DUN.cab) and MODEMLINK.zip.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/misc.php?do=showattachments&t=314371
MODEMLINK.zip has a .rgu file in it that I didn't have to mess with .. I just copied the other files to the windows directory and restarted.
Now my TomTom GO 710 finds the handsfree connection, the phonebook/object connection, and the DUN service so it can get on the internet when it needs to.
Thanks to URPREY, The.Drone, and MUN for their previous posts. You rock.
Hi
I have a tomtom gps 720 that I am trying to conntect to a HTC touch diamond, downloaded the software and have placed it into my windows directory etc.. which seems to have helped as it now shows on my tomtom that my phone supports wireless data transfers, the problem I am having now is when putting the setting in the tomtom for the wireless settings my mobile of phone does not appear so I am getting up to 65% through setting it up before I run into a wall....
any further ideas?
I would suggest using the data cable method without bluetooth headaches. Diamond has a ver poor battery, so when ised with USB cable it can stay alive but ultimately your laptop battery is drained
Diamond should have built-in internet connection sharing option. Does the prompt that appears when connecting to PC have that? If not try the HTCtoUSB PopUp cabs taken from Raphel.
Regards,
Carty..
I have no problem connecting the htc diamind or the tomtom go 720 to the PC, I'm just trying to get the wireless data to work so I can send and receive text messages through the TomTom.
I need to find the best possible laser color printer
Hello, I need to find the best possible laser color printer at the lowest possible price. I need to prints lots of documents black and white, flyers with a few photos on them, color posters and etc. So I would like to have both of best worlds and have some great photo quality and print the most pages per toner cartridges. Can anyone help me basically find a good all around color laser printer that has full ink toner and not so expensive?
is there a program a any way to send files from wizard to the computer? and how?
You are a little limited without USB. You could use BT if available. Maybe set up a wifi connection, is that called AD Hoc? I don't know much about that though.Hopefully someone more knowledgable can help there.
Depending on teh size you could email them too.
Dont forget about the Infrared the Wizard provides But whether you do it by BT or IR, you will need to send the files either from file explorer or set up an ActiveSync connection
yeap theres bluetooth and infrared
cant you just buy a new one
cant even imagine how slow itll be.,...
I active sync via BT all the time, but i normally place files in a shared folder on my PC, then grab them via wifi.
Wifi is not hard to set up at all. Look for a tutorial via Google to set up shared folders.
Hey there,
I've been searching the net and this forum for a long while but did not find anything close. Here's what I have in mind:
I have a mobile plan that allows free calls within the provider network. I have a couple of phones, normal mobiles, but also three HTC devices.
I would like to place one HTC device (WM5 or WM6 with Wifi or via ActiveSync) at home, where it will always stay on and is connected to the Wifi or the internet via ActiveSync. This device contains a SIM CARD and therefore is callable.
Now, when I am out, I'd like to use my other phone and basically dial-up the phone at home for a data connection (DUN). This part should be easy.
The tough part is: How do I get my phone at home to pick up the call, treat it as a data call and route the data through the Wifi or ActiveSync to provide internet over this call/connection.
Anyone done anything like that? Ideas?
Is this wat ur looking for ?

well, thanks for the hint. This would only solve part of the problem, but I am more worried about the modem part.
Now, I've changed the scenario a bit and I think this should be doable, yet I fail to get Vista to setup a incoming connection via Bluetooth modem...
New scenario:
Vista Internet PC connected to HTC WM5 via Bluetooth, Bluetooth Modem detected and useable on PC.
In Win98, I think, I was able to set up an incoming modem connection, so it would pick up automatically and take the call as a data call and route it over the local network. This would be perfect!
In Vista, I don't manage to find this incoming connection option anymore.
Yet, this solution would need a running PC all the time, not perfect. So if anyone has an idea on how to do this solely on a HTC WM5 device, this would be brilliant!
hi,
does anybody know if we can use internet from pc on the x1 via bluetooth...
i tried finding on google but in vain...can anybody help me regarding this...
ps: i am aware that we can use internet connection via usb cable...what i want to know is that can we use it via bluetooth...and whats the procedure...
thanks in advance...
so many views and no replies???
i really only think it will work the other way around. if you have 3g using the x1 as a bluetooth modem so you can get internet on your pc. unless you have a highspeed internet connection on your pc that isn't already wireless, in which case you can buy a usb wifi adapter for pretty cheap. i dunno if this was any help...
bleh. disregard most of that. i'm sleepy... i only read half. yes it is possible to use your phone as a bluetooth modem though
thanks dude...
the thing is that i hav a really fast pc connection and its cheap...whereas the phone internet service is costly...so i was just wondering if its possible...(net fron pc to phone via bluetooth)
thanks anyways...cheers
Actually there is a way.....
If you establish an bluetooth active-sync connection.
You should be able to surf the net via the bluetooth connection...
But it is still more efficient to go by wi-fi....
Stuart
awesome dude...ill check it rightaway..thanks
doesnt work...detects the serial port..but connection fails..
I know that with Palm OS PDA we used Mocha PPP, perhaps you can give it a try.
Else perhaps an adhoc connection if you want to try Wifi.
yes being connected to activesync with bluetooth give the phone the network access of the pc
been doing it since i had an old wm2003 device
or you can do this if you dont want to use activesync

Try initial the BT detection from yr PC (or the other way as I don't remember.). The "serial port" will be replaced w/ ActiceSync eventually.
It does work but it depends on your contract
The carrier company can tell if you are browsing through your phone or using internet sharing. I am on O2 and it does not have this, but if I put my T-Mobile sim card in, it works fine. PC's use higher bandwidth and this costs the mobile companies.
If you want to use it, I recommend using the USB lead as bluetooth and 3G connection will abuse your battery.
To use, press start, programs internet sharing. You can only use it if you have activesync on your pc, USB mode is activesync and your mobile provider lets you.

danjwalker
he want to do the opposite he want to surf using his computers internet not
letting his computer use his phone internet
so i was right the first time. all he needs is a usb wifi adapter.

something kind of like that
and you won't even have to use bluetooth after you set it up. just turn on your wifi in the comm manager

This method may not work anymore since PAN client is being removed in recent WM release. You may need to try this to get PAN client working. I posted my working experience over there w/ my Att tilt. But this method require a lot more effort to get it working compare to activesync.
yeah... you guys are backwards on this

why would anyone want to buy additional hardware when it "should" be possible to use the current internet connection on your PC over bluetooth?

i thought the bluetooth internet sharing only works one way...?
if you go to internet sharing on the phone, you choose bluetooth pan and then a connection that your phone uses to connect to the internet. that's not what he wants. someone correct me if i'm wrong and there's another way to do this bc i'm really not sure.
Ok statement 1. A Hermes with a fast data connection can act as a wireless modem for WiFi on a PC.
Statement 2. A Hermes can talk to another Phone Via Bluetooth to transfer files and data.
Question 3, Can you have a Hermes share internet to another PHONE that Does NOT have a data connection.
Now everyone is probably why in the world would you want to do this?
I have a Hermes and an Elfin. I want to put one in the car without a SIM, use it as a mobile media machine, run TomTom and fill it full of movies and videos. But I want to be able to have it go online and check addresses and such. Now how to do I use my primary phone to share its internet access over bluetooth to the 2nd phone. Is it even possible?
