This might be an enormously newbie question, but if I have a work desktop connected to the internet via the LAN, can I add a bluetooth dongle to it to connect my Jasjar to the internet?
I think you can. You can sync your xda with Active Sync. Then it will use the internet connection from your PC, just like when you have it connected with the USB cable.
I just tried this and it worked.
What you gotta do is the following:
- Open your bluetooth connections on your PC
- Add new device
- Make sure you have your bluetooth turned on on your Universal and make detection of other devices possible
- Add your device on the PC
- Now go to the COM port tab
- Choose add and choose a new incomming port (your PC will make a new COM port, make sure this number is below 20)
- Open Active Sync on your universal and choose "menu" connect with bluetooth
- Now Active Sync will say that there are no devices are installed. Add a new device (your PC)
- You will see that the service "Active Sync" is available. Now check this option
- Now you can make the connection with your PC and also will be able to use the internet connection
A friend told me that the internet connection won't go faster then GPRS, so don't expect much. But you have your free wireless internet connection within a range of about 10 meter from your PC.

ActiveSync Over WIFI - does anyone know if this is possible.
I use WIFI at home on my XDAII for the internet, but would like to Sync it with my laptop without having to drag the cable home (or buy another usb cable)
Any ideas ?
Cheers
Yes, sure you could do it! Just make sure ActiveSync Connection settings on your desktop PC include Ethernet (right click on ActiveSync icon on the taskbar, choose Connection Settings and click on Allow network). Then, run ActiveSync on XDA-II and choose same 'synchronise via Network' setting - there is one on the 'Advanced' tab I think (can't say exactly, as my wife plays Lines on it right now ) - just type in your PC NETBIOS name (I guess it will be there already if you connected via USB before). I've tried it and it worked straight away (although takes few secs more to connect).

YOU BEUT ! I'D KISS YOU ... if
1. you were female
2. you were good looking
3. you were in close vacinity!
I had to run active sync, go to tools > Options > Server
And add "//myname" and untick SSL
However, my WIFI network card is set to MOBILE WEB GPRS (for IE and MSN, inbox etc) and it wanted WAP network GPRS so tried to dial up.
I changed the WIFI card to be WORK instead of INTERNET and it worked great.
Not sure if I have WORK and INTERNET set up correctly, it is basically how it came setup for GPRS access. But I don't mind changing it over now and then unless someone knows a better way?
(interesting that I managed to do an o2 Active update via the WIFI card! and not WAP GPRS - something I can't do while connected via USB? but can surf via USB )
Anyway... RESULT ! cheers
Well, obviously not female (while nothing is impossible in modern world - you could change sex, not only ROM version in your XDA ). As for the Wi-Fi card setup - it's quite simple, you'd better set it to 'Work' always unless you are connecting from Starbucks, and then change properties of 'work' connection, checking 'Connects to Internet' box and entering your proxy address. All these 'ISP' and 'Work' settings seemed to be pretty confusing to me first time until I understood how it works. You could not browse network through an USB cable (a mystery to me, since it's a normal PPP connection!), so Wi-Fi is probably the best option for all tasks - synchronisation, browsing etc.
Thanks for your help, I'll have a play
i have an XDA II which is currently connected to my pc via usb. is there anyway to use the usb connection to my computer (which is part of a wireless network) to access the internet? i know that i can do it with a wifi card, but is there a way to do it with my existing cables?
XDA to Internet
once your connected to active sync you can use activesync to feed internet through to your pda. I did this when i had a hp Ipaq.
the easiest was is to connect via bluetooth - set up aa bluetooth network port on your pc and link your pda to it - internet browsing wire free!
search the net with google or probably this forum for more info - I found plenty of help on this site and through google.
could you tell me exactly how i need to configure activesync 3.8 to do that?
Open activesync, go to "tools" then "options" and then go to the "rules" tab. At the bottom you'll see "pass through" then a connection drop down list. Change "work" to "the internet".
active sync
first, your pc should have an internet connection, then in the options menu of the active sync, select the RULES tab then select the Pass Through - Internet.
Hi
I have problem with trion and wirless modem...
i open in programs->wirless modem---
select USB port and do start.
Connect the trion on usb
but not append... The PC dont see any modem or new found new hardware wizard dont appear...
so in modem i dont have the tynt or trion...
what can i do?
thx
SAme here. It's a known issue
Im thinking to try:
Mobile stream USB Modem for PPC.
Somebody have test it?
IM getting the same thing now. If this is a known issue, and this was like 3 months ago is there any more news on this? Its becoming a right old pain in the backside for me right now!
I have two hermes, both with the same problem. I connect using dial up (bluetooth) but 300 kbps instead of 800
I can connect just fine over IrDA when using GPRS. I don't have bluetooth on my laptop, but I guess the transfer rate over bluetooth is to slow for a fullspeed connection. I can't test that either: I have the low-budget option Pocket Internet Total from T-mobile which is downgraded to 64kbps over UMTS.
For using fullspeed UMTS (3G) even HSDPA, I would recommend using the USB connection.
Two things that can make trouble:
a) I found was that when using the USB cable, I had to disable the automatic connection some programs try to make (such as direct push)
b) I used COM8 for my bluetooth gps: after setting the gps to com0, I could connect without any problem
I read in some thread that you had to disable the advance network features over USB but as far as I can tell that only limits the speed over usb (my guess: USB 1.0 (1.1) in stead of 2.0)
I have a tytn and it works great, I get 3g speeds between 900 and 1300.
1) Plug the usb cable into your pc
2) Make sure you have activesync USB connection disabled
3) Disconnect your gprs or 3g connection (this is real important)
4) Activate the wireless modem app, start connection
5) make sure your gprs/3g connection is inactive
6) plug your pda into the usb cable
7) pc recognizes the wireless modem
8) install driver
9) Create dial up to *99# or whatever your carrier uses
10) Again make sure your gprs/3g connection is inactive
11) dial using your dialup shortcut
after the first time, all you have to do in make sure your gprs/3g connection is disconnected, start the wireless modem app, plug into your usb cable, dial the *99# using your wirelss modem dialup shortcut
I have it working on both Windows Xp and Windows Vista...It is a great backup to my local internet connection and it is very easy to use
Pardon me if there is a difference, but on my Hermes to use its internal data connection as the bearer you have to use *99# (NOT #99*) as the number to dial when configuring the dial-up connection in Dial-Up Connections.
When I tried it (several times) on my XP laptop, it was almost childishly simple: regardless of whether the phone was already plugged in via USB or not, just load the wireless modem app, set the APN to general.t-mobile.uk, hit Start and bam: I wait for it to initialise (the lights in the application window light up to show connection and data, and once those show up just hit dial. No username, no password, Robert's your mother's brother. Worked every time I tried it.
Using a T-Mobile UK-branded Hermes fwiw.

the only CD i have that came in the box is the one that gives you ACTIVE SYNC and OUTLOOK.
Where online can I get the drivers?
My problem is my computer is not recognizing this phone as a modem.

Why not read the Hermes wiki for some very usefull information:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
The hermes wiki Faq http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_FAQs would have pointed you to a link to download the htc wireless modem driver:
http://www.box.net/public/jytpxq47nk
or search google for HTC Wireless Modem download
and you would have found instructions at
http://www.theunwired.net/?itemid=1656&catid=80
Good Luck....
is it the same steps througt bluetooth ? I would have to make modem for my Pc throught BT.
Hi, tried to connect to my WIFI router by WPA with TKIP Encryption, but in TYNT isn`t any settings like that. Its availalbe just WEP.
Is any workaround? New driver for wifi or anything?

I tried to connect my laptop to the internet using Internet sharing and my blue angel GPRS connection without success. Anyone been doing this? any special configuration to be made?
1. make sure that your connection settings are correct
2. check your connection setting of your active sync (you'll find it in the options.)
3. just choose your internet sharing program in your blue angel
4. enjoy it..
regards
adri
Well i tried everything i can and still it dosent work. Can i use a different program for internet sharing than the default one that came with the rom? any special configuration for active sync?
Don't tell us "tried everything", because for me it means you have no idea what to do, so for sure you did not do the correct thing.
ANSWER/EXECUTE EACH POINT BELOW. Do not miss ANY (especially 3rd)
1. Do you want to use GPRS internet connection from you GSM operator to have internet access on your computer?
2. Does the internet connection work correctly in the PDA (you can browse websites using internet exploder)?
3. Disconnect BlueAngel from the computer. Disconnect your computer from Internet, if it has any other connection.
4. Run Internet Sharing application.
5. Choose a correct internet connection (if 2. was YES - default selection should be OK, but if it does not work, try other connections on the list, if available).
6. Choose USB connection on the 2nd list (you can play with bluetooth connection, when USB will be fine).
7. Press Connect.
8. When message shows up saying that device is ready, then connect BlueAngel to the computer using provided USB Cable/Cradle.
9. Wait, untill PC will recognize new device (Network Adapter) and test the internet connection.
If somehow this procedure did not work, pinpoint exact moment that did not work and explain what went wrong (exact message would be helpful).
Hello,
I searched the forum but found nothing...
is there a way that active sync downloads automatically new exchange stuff ONLY from a wireless connection (I disabled data) ?
no, not possible. Activesync only works with a direct cable connection, serial or TCP-IP, or bluetooth. The software is old and cranky and Microsoft has essentially not updated it in years and is stuck in a 2002 timewarp. They do not have anyone actively working on it, now Windows 7 connection manager may allow wi-fi, but I have not seen that to work either, as it is configured to work on with serial ports, USB or bluetooth serial. I have not seen wi-fi able to emulate a serial connection and that is what is required.
Maybe someday, but not soon, I am afraid.
More thoughts, if you mean getting email from your server, through activesync, yes that is possible, as you only need to open activesync connection settings and check the box to allow wireless connection while the device is connected. If this is what you mean, then yes you can.
Sorry, I think you misunderstood me, let me explain more clearly :
I'm speaking from my touch pro 2 mobile device, not from my PC
What I mean is when you have a working data 3G (or whatever) connection on your WM device, you activate push mail and tell active sync in the schedule options to retrieve emails, calendar, contacts whenever "item arrives".
Now, from what I know and from what I was been able to discover, this only works if, like I said, you have a working data connection.
Since I don't have any data connection, i would like to keep the same behavior but with my WM connected to a Wifi, in order that he retrieves stuff only when connected to a Wifi

I didn't find that setting (while im connected to a Wifi)
In active sync when I tip "Menu", I get :
Options -> there i can delete the sync profile or edit it
Schedule -> there i can say when to sync stuff
Status -> the status
Configure server -> same menu than "Options", but directly in the edit mode
Connections -> there it says :
When cradled
Synchronize all PCs using this connection:
'BlueToothActiveSync
'USB
Connect via Bluetooth -> bluetooth stuff
so please let me know what you mean with "allow wireless connections"
ho, btw i'm running wm 6.5 (energy rom)
Edit : I forgot to add that what's weird is that if i synchronize manually (also trough wifi) it works..so why isn't there some option to made it work automatically ?
I've seen that happen too - connect via cable with the wifi active and it will start synching, then disconnect the cable and viola - the tilt2 stays connected via wifi. but how to initiate the same connection without the cable, that's the great mystery.
auto connect with wifi?
