Hi,
I'd just like to ask if the wizard can use another bluetooth enabled phone such as a nokia 6630 or n90 as a modem. I was thinking of using them for their 3G capabilities.
Nokia phone as modem
I have successfully used my Nokia 6260 as a BT modem. Just create a new connection profile but select a BT modem in the set-up instead of 'cellular line gprs' and pair your handsets.
You will need the connection settings from your service provider.

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
Hi,
As u know all JAM supports GPRS only!
I wonder if I get EDGE or 3G supported phone with BT enabled, Can I surf the INTERNET faster within the JAM by that phone through the BT connection? or maybe BT itself make connection to Interent less fast !
Thank u nin advance
Any one??
Any one??
The problem is, that the Magician uses the MS Bluetooth Stack which, as far as I know, only supports to be used as a modem, not to use a modem of another device. One of the many drawbacks of that stack. Maybe it works with the Bluesoleil stack. Maybe you give that a try.
Concerning the throughput, Bluetooth 1.2 is physically limited to around 700 kbit/s. But that's only in theory. Usually, you can't get much more than 200 or 300 kbit/s. When using the internet over ActiveSync (which is the only possibility to use another device as internet access as far as I know), the connection speed is even slower, maybe 100 to 150 kbit/s.
So try the Bluesoleil stack or ask about this in the corresponding thread.
I already tried it wiht a Nokia 6630.
It works very well, after you downgrade the callerid program that caused the gprs problems.
Really? But how can you configure the modem settings? I mean, where do I setup the password, number to dial, TCP/IP settings etc.?
Pair the cellphone with PPC (and when it asks for a com profile, answer NO... You need not to have COM5 active to have cellphone works). Then make a new connection through bluetooth so it asks you which BT device to use... Then use *99# as phone number (with Wind ITA you don't need any user/password). It works for GPRS and also 3G GPRS, don't know how to do for EDGE...
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.
Hope somebody can help with a strange problem I have.
I have an i-Mate PDA2K although it is a phone I prefer to use my K750i as it's better.
I need to use the PDA with GPRS for traffic updates (Tomtom) from my K750i
All the settings (orange uk) gave me allow the connection to work but only if I use the IRDA connection.
Although the PDA is paired to the K750i if I select Bluetooth modem as the connection it does not even try to talk to the K750i, i.e does not wake the phone. (Bluetooth is enabled and K750i set as visible, allways allow set for the PDA connection)
I gave IRDA a go and it works fine but IRDA in the car is not a good solution.
Any help much appreciated.

Also, make sure the Tomtom is DIALING not trying to GPRS sharing request... DIAL with the Tomtom using the K750i as a "modem" and use the number most often *99#, I personally used a little longer one like *99###1## to get mine, but I'm US and I'm not sure if it's just my phone or the service, whatever. Play around with using "Dialup via Bluetooth" for your connection and see if you can't get your connection working that way. For the K750i (I have one myself), I know for a fact GPRS linking does not work without this number, either in a script autodialing it, like the scripts provided on that website, or by manual dial. So have fun.
Thanks for the reply does not work for me I am affraid
I use *99***1# and in the advanced extra dial string z; +cgdcont=1,"IP","orangeinternet"
Tried using as yours nothing either
If I select Bluetoth dial up fails unknown reason
If I just change to IRDA with the above settings it works
Sorry it didn't help.
I tried to set up my Samsung i760 to connect to another verizon phone via bluetooth but it seems that there is no bluetooth modem setting on i760. I had dell axim x51v that bluetooth modem setting that I would use to connect to my LG chocolate phone. I would select bluetooth under settings/connections/add a modem connection/select a modem. However, on i760 there are 3 choices only; cellular line, generic IrDA and Hayes compatible. Is the bluetooth modem setting missing in wm6 or is it verizon that disabled it?
