I have been trying to connect my Windows 2000 laptop using the WModem app on an Orange M3100. No Joy. I can easily establish a link using the orange APN, but as soon as I open Explorer and 'receive' a few bytes (about 20k) amounting to about half a webpage, the receive connection freezes. Alternatively, once I have a connection I can attach to my corporate VPN, establish a connection to my Exchange server, but if I try to send an e:mail again the connection freezes. It seems as long as i receive a small trickle of bytes the conenction hold up, assoon as I get a high receive flow then it stalls.
I have been in contact with Orange, who very helpfully established that it works fine under XP, and then went on to test it with a Windows 2000 laptop. They identified the same issues that I have - WModem/USB/Win2000 does not seem to be compatible. they are planning on contacting HTC.
It appears that the data flow rate 'stalls' the modem, but no amount of messing with port Speeds/Modem speeds/FIFO settings/Buffer settings/hardware flow control etc seem to make any difference.
Does anyone have any idea how to solve this problem - custom scripts/custom modem driver etc?
many thanks

Hi there,
I generally leave my Exec sitting on a filing cabinet syncing with bluetooth and charging when required.
To send an SMS I've got to pick the bugger up and do things the conventional way currently. Being either a productivity fiend (or lazy!) has anyone any thoughts on how to get the Microsoft Office 2003 SMS plug in to work with the Exec over bluetooth ? Do I need to have the wireless modem enabled and if so I think I'll give up on that plan.
Anyway to summarise any ideas for methods to send sms using the exec as the trasnmission device over bluetooth through my PC.
Any feedback greatly appreciated.
someone round here posted this on how to setup a usb modem, as that sms plugin dosent work when activesync is connected, so it looks like to could be a catch 22, you have sync, or you have sending sms capabilities, im not sure, i havent tried it with the phone in modem mode yet, i got asfar as trying to send a sms and not seeing Univ listed as a modem, then giving up rekoning on this being for a phone that you can only make call and do sms on. sheesh antiques!!!
Code:
1. Disconnect USB Cable.
2. Universal: START/PROGRAMS/Wireless modem
- Set USB as Connection Type
- Tools/Options: Check Use prefered GPRS / Verify APN
- Start the MODEM
3. Connect USB Cable. PC should detect the modem.
- Install drivers from original CD (D:\OEM\APPS\Drivers\USB Modem)
- Start USBModem_Dialer.exe - located in the drivers folder (Fill the UN/PWD, APN...)
- It will create a new dial up connection. Click CONNECT. It will probrably fail but don't worry.
4. Try to connect using the created Dialup Connection
- Reenter UN/PWD.
- CONNECT
Try that, i rekon it'll work as you have to install a modem driver on the pc for it, which is where i rekoned loosing AS was to greater loss.
Re SMS Plugin
Vodafone actually offer a SMS service via your exchange server.
Its free at the moment

So I'm writing this from my PC using the Internet Sharing option of the X7500.
I'm going to explain how to use it but first off all I beg your pardon because since my ROM is in spanish I have no idea of the names of the programs and the messages that the WWE ROM gives so I'm translating the spanish messages and programs names into english. Apart of that eventualy my english goes nuts.
So...
First off all you need to have a plan to get data access on your X7500 on a reasonable price. I got Movistar (a company in Spain) that allows me to access using WSDPA where available per around 60 euros a month. If WSDPA is not avaible I can enter the net using UMTS or if not available I can still accessing using GPRS.
Hopefully in the village I'm on holidays (15000 people near Cadiz coast) I got WSDPA coverage.
Second thing. If you have Blackberry on the X7500 just use the Suspend option in order to avoid BB interfering with the Internet Sharing.
Third. If the PC has ActiveSync go into options and unmark the USB in order to avoid the AS connecting the X7500 using USB.
The PC running XP don't need any driver to use the connection.
1) With the X7500 NOT plugged to PC run the Internet Sharing program in the PDA.
2) You will find two combo-boxes. At the first one choose USB. I did the connectiong using BT too and works great but I prefer USB since looks more stable and is suitable to use in any PC even not having BT interface. At the second combo-box choose your profile to access the net. My is Movistar Access... is a name you gave while configuring the profile.
3) Still having the X7500 NOT plugged to the PC press the Connect which is the soft-key in the left side of the screen. You will see the PDA negotiating with the ISP.
4) Once connected then plug the USB cable and the XP will start to recognize the PDA as a Internet Sharing device. First time takes long XP to connect the PDA. As soon as you get the message that the new hardware is usable you can start using Internet Explorer in the PC to access the net thru the X7500.
At the PC in a MSDOS window I need to run a continous ping to a site in order to keep the connection alive. For sample ping -t www.google.com
Whatever the reason if I don't issue the ping the connection hangs if I keep on reading a web page for long time. I tried to find where this timeout is configured but I could. But with the ping to keep alive the connection works great.
In order to disconnect properly my advice is:
1) Close all PC programs running against Internet like Internet Explorer or the ping you are issuing.
2) Unplug the USB cable
3) Press the Disconnect soft-key in the PDA
Unplugging the cable before hitting Disconnect helps to avoid the XP seeing the PDA without the Internet Sharing running.
As I told I run the test using the Bluetooth PAN connection too and works great. My BT interface in the PC is a Concentronic CBTU2 (is USB not bigger that an USB key). And the BT software is IVT Corporation Bluesoleil but I guess any BT interface and software will do the job too.
I hope this is useful.
Best Regards,
mahjong
P.D.: If someone knows how to solve the timeout stuff let me know.
Thanks for the detailed tutorial. I've been wanting to try this for when I'm doing presentations and don't have an internet connection. Your English was just fine.
I've also been meaning to try this out, and your post prompted me to do so.
After I press the 'connect' softkey, the status changes to 'check usb cable'.
I then connect the usb cable, and the PC starts the Found New Hardware Wizard, which starts to search for Generic RNDIS drivers. It fails to find them, even using windows update.
And that's as far as I got....
Have you installed Activesync (XP) or WMDC (VIsta)?
Internet sharing uses the drivers from that to create the connection.
Problem solved, with the help of google.
I had activesync 3.8 on my laptop, upgrading to 4.5 has solved the problem, and it all works perfectly now.
mahjong,
What version of BBConnect are you using with your x7500? Did you have to cook your rom to make it work?
I have tried 2.1.2.52 and 4.0.0.67 but both show PIN: Pending and IMEI: Radio Off. I trying not to go through reflashing everything to make this work.
BTW, I'm from Asturias but living now in sunny caribbean.

I'm using 2.1.2.54 over WM5 SO 5.1.465 (15673.3.3.1). I installed BB 4 (don't remember the release) once and the X7500 went nuts so I should hard-reset. But 2.1.2.54 works stable for me for months. OK I forgot to mention I'm connecting to a BES server so is not Blackberry Professional. Mine is Blackberry Enterprise.

My PC runs XP, so... ActiveSync.
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 all
I have 2 x HD2s configured for ActiveSync with our SBS2003 server. Everything works fine when connected to my laptop via USB or when connected to WiFi (whether at my office or at any remote site unrelated to my local LAN). However, once I am using my data connection I experience the following issue which I have narrowed down through lots of trail and error:
When an email of approx 4k and above arrives I can see ActiveSync trying to sync and it then fails with an error code of 0x80830002. ActiveSync will then never reestablish a connection unless I either remove the particular email from my Outlook inbox, or, I connect to any WiFi connection.
If I set the download limit to 1k, it never fails and I simply receive a trunkated version of the email. However, if I select to download the remained of the text it fails again.
The issue is related to the size of the text within the email as attachements can be downloaded fine.
I have been on to T-Mobile as this feels like a carrier problem as I only experience it when using mobile data connection but they haven't come up with anything.
I'd really appreciate any help you can offer as this is driving me mad!!!!!
Many thanks,
Tom.
I seem to be having similar problems
Which all started in Mid April. I too am on T-Mobile.....
Though e-mails in excess of 4k have been syncing when OTA is actually working. I hope an expert out there has an idea of what may be wrong!

Hi Niall
I should have posted my solution back here.
I thought (mistakenly) that my SBS2003 box was running service pack 2. It wasn't.
Went to the Microsoft updates website, allowed it to download and install and hey presto!!!
Also, I have noticed that on occasion, for example if the SBS loses its internet connection, that ActiveSync does not reestablish. Simply terminating it in WM task manager causes it to restart and then its fine.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the suggestions. We're on Exchange 2003 SP2 already.
Terminating Activesync in the Task Manager on the phone doesn't help either. The only way to "restart" OTA syncing is to do a USB laptop sync. With SSL it falls down eventually with "Waiting for Network". Without SSL it lasts longer before falling down with error 0x80830002.
I do still wonder if it's related to us changing ISP for head office, but then surely the iPhone or WM6.1 device would also fail?
Niall
Hello everyone,
I have done some research on Google and with the forum search here, but couldnt find out if this is a known issue:
I am using WM pro 6.1 on a Samsung i780. The device has a working internet connection (Internet explorer, connection to exchange server ... all works flawlessly).
When I enable internet connection sharing and surf on the connected laptop this works for about 40 seconds to 10 minutes, then the connection breaks up. I haver to hit "Connect" again on the device and after 10 seconds I am connected again. Of course this is extremely frustrating.
I checked this behaviour with 2 different laptops, one running WinXP, another running Windows7.Same behaviour. So the problem must be with the device and internet connection sharing on the device. The connection is via USB cable, so it ought to be very stable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. What would be the next steps? What should I try to find out?
I actually know a bit how a computer works (I wrote an even rather successfull computer chess program a long time ago ) but this I can't solve. It is important for me, because I seldome use internet at home and if I can get this to work I dont need another internet connection (saves me 20 Euros a month!)
Thanks again!
georg
to simplify
basically I can imagine the following steps to bugfix:
- is there a debug file in windows mobile 6.1. where it writes info about the internet sharing? then I could check there why it disconnects.
- if not, is there a utility for windows mobile which maybe allows more stable connections opposed to the built in connection sharing?
- should I try updating to 6.5.?
Again: Internet on the device/mobile phone ist stable (!). What disconnects is the "INternet Connections Sharing" even though that is via a USB cable(!).
Thanks.
