Thanx for the detailed set-up instructions Kropotov!
I follwed to the letter but at this time I'm still unable to get it all to work. When i enable the PC dial up connection it activeate the Atom cos the back light come on abd the BT symbol in the PC system tray changes colour. However it does not want to get past this stage and no signs of the GPRS sybol coming on the PPC...........I know my GPRS APN is "NET" with user name being the operator and the password being "WAP" but still nothing working. I just don't know why it should be so hard to establish a link via BT or USB cable. It was easier to do on my old Nokia 6030 about 5 years ago than it is on my Atom!
Regards
Chris.

try to connect to GPRS using USB connection...
Can you go to internet from your Atom?

How do I know which COM port the ActiveSync is using......would it be COM1 by default? When i try to set up a DUN modem the only ports that i can see are all Bluetooth ports that i have created, I do nt get the choice for COM1.
I also found some instructions from O2 on how to set up an Xda II to act as a modem, in these instructions you set up a new standard modem on the PC, disable Activesync on the PC then deactivate "Receive all beams" on the PPC and then activate "Modem Link" on the PPC. Then when you plug in the PDA to the PC via USB cable the computer will detect new hard ware and try to install a drive, I have not been able to locate the required driver o the internet so can not get any further with this method. The driver is on the OEM CD supplied with the device and as I'm away from home i can not check if i have the driver on the CD that came with the Atom. The driver i called "HTC USB Modem".

Kropotov,
I can't figure out how to download the file from this site, sorry to be such a pain.

http://dl.rapidshare.ru/27257/99530/USBMDM.INF

Thanx again for your continued support and assistance but that link is not working for me at this time, i will try it again later to hopefully get to that file!!

give me your mail. I will send you

kropotov,
Thx for the file, i installed a new modem on my PC and then activated the "modem link" on my PPC and installed the driver when prompted, but alas still not working. I think it is to do with the assigned COM port for the modem on the PC, I can only seem to choosE COM 4, 9, 13, 14, 15 when installing the modem to PC. I would think that the Atom would be com port 1-3 as it is connected to one of my PC USB ports......
Will keep playing and let you know if I manage to get it to work......Thanx for all your help.

Good work mate, but still wait for the laptop to come

wireless modem

Has someone connected a laptop to internet using TyNT?
I cant. I did it with my htc universal using the wireless modem or internet sharing (aku 3.2).
But TynT hasnt "internet sharing utility" and my laptop doesnt recognize it as modem. Some idea?
thanks

Do you have under programs wireless modems? If you launch this and got to usb then start; your laptop/pc will pnp and request instalation of drivers, I think the drivers and software are on the wiki. Also remember to use the correct APN name i.e. for T-mob uk it is general.t-mobile.uk

cool this worked fine for me, i just needed to change the apn settings from "internet" to "general.t-mobile.uk"

Check the Hermes FAQ: there's a section about using TyTN as a laptop modem...
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_FAQs
Bye

It worked when i used my Univesal. But now, when a click "start" in wireless modem app and plug it to the laptop nothing happens.....No hardware detected......

im usin orange spv m500. when i connect the phone to my laptop using USB cable, nothin happens. no hardware detected. it doesnt prompt to install any driver.. pls help!! :!:

It works fine for me with a BlueTooth connection. I don't think anybody has it working over USB.
It works fine using a Dial-up Connection from Windows.... you don't need to activate the Wireless Modem on the TyTN... in fact doing so will prevent it from working...

Hi.Yes, it works setting a dial-up connection with bluetooth but i want to use the wireless modem usb because the dial-up system closes the connection if you receive a phone call.......
I miss the utility "internet sharing" from Universal Aku 3.2. I hope it is present in next TyNT rom....

i have found the solution
go to start > programs > wireless modem
select connection type USB
tap Start
then connect ur mobile device to ur laptop or pc. it will detect new hardware n will prompt to install driver. u can download the driver and utility from here
Code:
http://dl1.uploadgalaxy.com/files/e52d58daacf8/USB_Modem.zip.html

when I plug the tynt in my pc or my laptop (with the wireless app running on usb) nothing happens....

mine is a spv m500. OS is windows mobile 2003. it detects new hardware only when u plug in after pressing the start button

Yes. I have Imate pocket pc and Imate jasjar and it works in than way. But it doesnt work with TyNT (for me)

Hi I used have functional connection from my laptop to TyTN using USB cable. but since last week it started telling me that there is some remote access error (I have tried different cable to check whether it is broken or not ... didn't help)
so I removed the HTC USB modem .. so I could re-do it .. since then I can't install it again .. it evern doesn't detect the TyTN so I could process it using wizard mode .. and when I want to do it manually it doesn't work as well
can somebody please help?
thx in advance

Thanks.

have you
1. disabled USB/Serial connections in ActiveSync and
2. started the "Wireless Modem" application?

not helping .. I am starting to think about HR .... BT connection is toooo slow :/
EDIT .. I have used HR ... created new connection .. tested it (it worked) and used back-up .. now it doesn't work again and keep teeling me about some access error 680
I am going for finall HR I am affraid ...

a BT modem connection will at best have less than half the speed of a wired USB one... (see my previous benchmark thread).

Hi, read/found it somewhere in the wiki, and it works as you described.
Only thing is always start the modem first before connecting to the PC. Works everytime for me:
Connected speed: 230.4 kpbs (good enough for me as I'm on EDGE connection)

[qtek 9000] AS on Universal(Qtek 9000) not working

Hi,
ActiveSync on my Universal is not working. When I connect to desktop (xp.s2) AS on desktop (4.5 b2) connects but under 'tools' everything is greyed out but 'add remove programs' and 'explore device'.
When I explore device I can see the files on it but can not copy files to or from it. 'Add remove programs' has same problem. I get message like: 'connect to device/is device writeprotected?/do you have the rights?'
AS on device says something like: connect to desktop to sync. But desktop says I'm connected!!
I can't install backup program to backup contacts. I can't copy backupprog to device to install.
Btw: have tried to disable firewall but same result.
Hope some1 has a cunning plan?? Idears are very welcome!!
Cheers. Flummie

Rename Device Name?

Hey folks. I am trying to rename my device (I have some software tied to the deivce ID), but everytime I connect to my desktop via activesync, the device is getting renamed.
How can I stop that?

Did you delete the Activesync partnership on your PC before connecting the re-named device? I find that usually works.

Yes, i did.
I loaded AS on the desktop, "File" -> "Delete Mobile Device".
Then, I goto the tytn (unplugged from the pc) and rename it using Start -> settings -> system -> about ->device ID and clicked "ok".
then, I re-connect the tytn (via cable).
ActiveSync then connects, but uses the OLD device name (It does go thru the setup portion - what to sync, etc.) but still on the old name.

Did you soft reset after changing the device name?

yes, I did.

If you remove active sync (program) from both your PC & also delete all sync settings on your PPC, then you wil be able to reset your "name" to whatever you desire.

Look in Local_Machine/ident

No connection to vista pc after wm6 update

Hi guys,
great work! Much appreciated!
Only one problem here:
After upgrading my ba to wm6 under vista (yes, i read _and_ understood the wiki) it is not possible to connect via usb/cradle.
I downgraded and upgraded again - with no errors at all. Nothing. Same Prob. I checked the wmdc-settings. usb-con is checked. Several soft/hardreset and reboots so far. When I put the ba in the cradle the usb-sound sounds and thats all. Not even a mobile device in the devicemanager...
H E L P !
A PPC with no sync is not good!
THX

see if your BA is set up correctly
1. using file explorer, click on windows/async.lnk
2. choose menu/connections/
3. tick on synchronize all PC's using this connection, and choose "USB"

when i try to locate the async.lnk it has - as every file in this folder - a memory-chip-icon. Taping on it brings a error screen reading:
Code:
async.asy##
The file 'async' cannot be opened.
(Clicking on the 'Album'-Memory-chip-icon starts 'Album'... crazy!)
So I clicked on the Acrivesync-icon under programs and checked the connection-settings. Everything fine.
Any more Ideas...

Jipiee!
I just reinstalled WMDC - and viola!
Pfft! That one took hours to figure out!
So - Thanks a lot!
