been playing with the vario 2 for few days now, and im very impressed, had a mda pro previous to that. I have web n walk pro, on the phone i get upto 1.2MB internet speed which is what i expect dure to HSDPA, but when i connect the phone to laptop as amodem via usb or blueetoth i get 364KB (the 3G speed).
Why is there a difference in speed? maybe im doing something wrong.
any help would be much appreciated.
Ok, you need to edit the modem within networking in windows(on your pc). You can change the connect speed from a pull down box.
Don't forget that the Bluetooth connection itself is going to slow you down... and even if you have a Bluetooth 2.0 card, the TyTN does not support EDR...
As such, I'd be very surprised if you got any faster than you're already seeing...
I'm sure that as soon as somebody figures out how to make it work, a tethered USB connection will be faster than a Bluetooth one... but this is still not possible...
Try Tethered USB. It's much faster and allows for your full speed. Check the Wiki FAQ. There's instructions there.
Has someone done a usb dial-up connection or usb wireless-modem connection with TyTN? My TyTN reachs 1.5-1.6 Mbps but when a set a dial-up bluetooth connection it only reachs 300 Kbps (with online speed tests). And i cant plug it as wireless usb modem (nothing happens in any of my computers). Some idea?
Thanks
since the TyTN does not support EDR, it's speed is limited, so your getting the max out of BT DUN. Instructions for the USB DUN are included on your CD that came with your device and it has the proper drivers in there. The files (Instructions + Driver) can be also downloaded here:

Has someone done a USB dial-up connection or USB wireless-modem connection with TyTN? (not with htc universal or other. I say with TyNT)
Thanks

XDA II, activesync -> bluetooth
Sony SRX87 notebook ->belkin bluetooth
ok, so I activesync, and now I can explor to the internet
via my notebook (which is connected to the home ADSL via WiFi)
this works v.good, range is just as good as the WiFi at home,
speed is not an issue, and it doesn't eat power like the WiFi card.
But ... here is the rub ...
with the network WiFi card, I can access files on my home PC / notebook.
With this BT link to the internet, the computer's files are inaccessible.
Any solution (except to wait for a complete new BT stack, etc etc)?
I'm using a similar setup, but my battery life becomes alarmingly short when I switch the Bluetooth on. I'd guess I'd be lucky to get 3 hours in total. Is this your experience?
battery and BT
no, I don't see the bat go down too fast.
At least, it is much slower-going than a WiFi card ...
I've just downloaded a 100Mb matrix film to the SD card
via BT from my local machine (using activesync explor)
took about 1 hour.
I think it used less than 20% of the power...
What was the distance between your XDA and bluetooth receiver? I've heard it mentioned that if you go further away (more than 10 feet say) then the XDA switches into a higher power mode to get the signal through. Is this true? What's your experience on this?
So it is possible to connect to the internet using an XDA that is connected to a PC via bluetooth?
I have a router that both my laptop and main pc connect to to go on the net but when i make a bluetooth connection to my laptop all i can seem to do is transfer files.
I did change the network it used at one point but that then knocked out the connection to the net via the laptop.
Is there a tutorial on how to set this up as its the main reason i got my BT adaptor!
Cheers

BT->inet
you just need to enable "pass thru" to the internet in ActiveSync.
IF you can access the internet when using ActiveSync with USB,
then when u go thru BT it can be done, too. Just follow some
tutorial on how to access the inet via activesync cradle...
regarding BT power and distance - my test was just 2 meter away....
so I dunno how much more energy the long distance BT might need.
Beleive it or not ive been trying to make this work for 3-4 days now. I cant get activesync to work via BT. Only file transfers work at the moment, really starting to wind me up too!
If files trasnfers work, you must be using the widdcom bluetooth stack. I'm sure most people have downgraded to the microsoft stack, with TOwa's patch. With the microsoft stack, its much easier to set upo. Just make sure com ports is enabled as a service on your pc, and that you have com ports enbaled as a way to activesync on active sync 3.7 .
Surur
Does this Towa patch work on the XDAII then?
Would I be better off with it?
Where do I find it?
How do I install it?
I really appreciate the help people, would be nice to get it all working!
Made progress, active sync is now connecting from the XDA, doesnt seem to be syncronising anything though. And when i try and use explorer it still trys to connect via GPRS rather than bluetooth.
I have selected the maintain connection on Activesync on the XDAII but it seems to connect, authenticate then disconnect without doing a thing.
On the Laptop activesync also says connect when i start it on the XDA then just comes up with not connected???
Still its a step in the right direction.
Looking at sites on bluetooth devices it shows the connection speeds at 750KBs. Is that bits or bytes? and why does the xda2 not connect at speeds like that. I thought USB activesync was slow and then i found BT to be twice as slow if not 3 times!
Anyone know the data transfer speeds through USB - XDA2
i do not want buy a 3g data card for the laptop is it possble to feed the laptop
through wi-fi or with a cable from 3g universal
I dont think you can do it by wifi but you can connect the 2 devices by wifi no issue. I tnihk the same applies to the cable either USB or LAN. However you can by bluetooth. All you need to do is set up the exec to be discoverable and get the lap top to look for bluetooth devices and explore the services on them. You will them see the bluetooth modem. Then all you need to do is to create a link to your mobile operators gprs or 3g internet connection in the usual way. You will need to download the setup specific for your network.
Good luck
Also remeber to up the speed from the default as this assumesgprs and you have afaster connection with 3g.
If you do not have bluetooth on your laptop just buy a BT dongle for about £15 then you are away.

An XDA as a router! Wonder if MS will make a version of the Internet Connection Sharing Wizzard for WM5! LOL
I can see the use but not someone actually making it.
There is a thread on this somewhere.
I connect my universal to my laptop via the sync cable and then the laptop uses the universal as a modem and connects to teh web at 3g speed. The universal comes with wireless modem, you just have to play around to get the drivers on the laptop to see the universal when you plug in.
works well.

thanks eveyone been a geat help
Is it something where I can use as a modem if I connect it to my notebook or computer if I don't have internet service or if I am on the road?
I have the Cingular 8125 and have the MediaNet unlimited package...is that all I need to do it or will I be charged for trying this?
Thanks!
Did your phone not come with a manual?
Modem Link uses the data connection on your phone to share the internet connection with a pc or laptop...if you don't have a data connection it's not going to do you any good.
I have medianet unlimited data plan...I did some searching yesterday ...it connected..but I couldn't browse at all...I also tried connecting with bluetooth but it kept saying Error 633
help please...
I have Tmobile and their data plan so I can speak to that. I use the Wizard as a modem and log into the GPRS network. I tried connecting via USB but was never all that successful so I tried via a bluetooth link and it works and works repeatably. First thing you have to do is establish the connection the right way, on my Dell it can be either a dial up networking connection or serial port, here you need dial up network. On Tmobile you dial in by dialing *99# and then you're logged in automatically and I can browse the net, send emails or whatever, it's like a fast dialup but slow by broadband comparisons. I'd have to say I spent a fair amount of time messing around with this using different settings, if you can log into your net then you should be able to browse. I do not use modem link however. I upgraded my ROM to the latest Tmobile rev and it was gone, just as well because I don't need it.
Modem link allows you to use the GPRS connectivity on your phone to connect your laptop/pc to the internet.
To use this you need
USB Cable for your phone OR a laptop with an InfraRed port
HTC USB Modem driver - should be on a CD provided with the phone, O2 UK provide it on a CD labelled Wireless Modem Driver.
_______________________________
Run the Modem Link application on your phone select either "IRDA COMM"(This InfraRed if you haven't guess) or "USB" as appropriate. If using USB connect the phone to the PC/Laptop now, if InfraRed align the ports now.
PC/Laptop will detect the device as Generic Serial and ask what it should do to find driver (assuming your using Windows XP), at this point you use the CD with the driver on browse to the folder containing the driver and click Next.
finish the hardware installation and your modem is ready to go.
If you want to use your GPRS connection provided by your network create a new dial up connection on your laptop set to use the HTC USB Modem as its modem, and set the phone number to *99# username should be the same as in your phones GPRS settings.
Hope this helps.
ok I accomplished setting and running as USB...I dont have infared...but I want to connect wirelessly thru my bluetooth device, "Blue Soleil" ....I'm having trouble..it say I'm connected to COM14 then it automatically disconnects and give me an error "Dialing *99#.... Error 692: There was a hardware failure in the modem (or other connecting device)."
Might not be much help but I always had issues connecting my notebook using Modem Link via Bluetooth. I don't think the BT stack thats on this device plays well with some other chipsets when it comes to modem connectivity. Could just be my experience though. I just broke down and got a short 1 foot USB cable I carry with my laptop.
Media Link is Great
I use Media Link to connect my desktop to the net at home. I live in the middle of nowhere and don't see the point having my wizard and a home phone just to connect at a dial-up speed. That's right, it's not very fast...but it works. If you have T-mobile, put in the cd that you got with the MDA and open it. In the CD you will find an OEM folder that gives you instructions on where to load the driver and how to set up the connection. It turns it into a modem.
I have Cingular and based on your instructions...the CD looks the same where it has the OEM folder and driver..but the installation instructions is only for USB type connection..
I Lost the CD
Can someone post the drivers from the CD? I have lost my CD and I want to connect my computer at work to the internet.. can someone help me out? I have T-Mobile MDA and unlimited internet plant.

I am in search method of tethering the Mac to my WM6 device (HTC Kaiser).
On my PC notebook, I connect USB via Internet Sharing. On 3G, I get up to 2,000 kbps downloads with little latency. After scouring the net, the best method I’ve found for the Mac is a third party application called USB Modem which, for now, can only connect using bluetooth DUN. With this, I can only get burst speeds of 500-800 kbps with significant latency.
Is there a better way? It's tough not being able to tap the mobile device's capability of providing good internet speed. Please excuse me if I"m simply missing the relevant postings.
Thanks!

WMwifiRouter works like a charm. I just plug in USB to trickle charge the Kaiser.
