i-mate (Widcomm bt stack) and Dial-Up Networking

Hi all!
I have installed the WidComm stack, but since then I cannot use my i-mate as a GPRS Dial-Up Modem. When I select Dial-Up from the Bluetooth devices, after some seconds it pops up a window where I can enter my username, password and the number to be dialed. But when I press Dial, nothing more happens, just a window pops up saying "Dialing *99#..." but then I get an error message "Error 692: There was a hardware failure in the modem...".
I tried it with and without Hardware flow control etc., with and without AT command +cdgcont=1,"IP","internet",0,0 still no success.
On the other hand my old MS Stack lost its SSA profile somehow, so I cannot connect through that one either anymore.
Since noone is saying anything about this issue, I assume everybody is happy and has it working, am I right? :wink:
Any ideas? :?: Please help, I need it badly... :?

I have the exact same problem. Have you found the solution?
I think it's caused by the widcomm stack that was extracted from a non phone-edition ppc (which of course cannot be used as a modem). maybe the extracted stack from a hp 6300 works?
Funny thing is I also can't connect via IR.
l did a hard reset & voila, I can use my xda2 as a wireless bluetooth gprs modem again.

Putra,
really ? after a new format u were able to connect using GPRS and USB without any problems ?
I' have the same problem with my i-mate k-jam latest WWE rom...
Error 692: There was a hardware failure in the modem !!!
And the connection were dropped down...
Maybe could be the SPB GPRS Monitor program ?
I've disabled all possible thing related to ActiveSync and Usb connection , either on pc and my k-jam....
I'm goin' to be crazy !!!
Only one time i was able to connect for up to 2 minute, without any problems... and then, after i've tried again to estabilish a new connection, i won't be able... it sais Error 892.... !!!
Anyone Could Help me ?
Thanks a lot in advance...
Raid.

sorry...
Sorry there, but it was so long ago, I cannot even remember what I did.
I have upgraded to the Prophet since Jan, and no longer using the Xda2... it's now my backup in case something happens to my Prophet.

The Bluetooth connection works fine... but sometimes the modem still "hang" and i got Error 692 or TCP Error 743... it seems that the major problems are caused by the ActiveSync, when i disable the USB connection either on my phone and on my laptop everything goes fine...
With the USB connection....no way at all ! After 2 minutes the connection is terminated.... even if i've disabled ActiveSync USB connection...
Hope this helps....
Alessio.

Nothing to do....
Also using BT stack (Microsoft) after few minutes my wireless modem seems still connected, but i cannot send/receive packets over the internet.
It seems like frozen !!!
And after i've clicked the "Disconnect" through the dialup connection icon on my task bar, my wireless modem doesn't respond anymore... i need to reset my device and sometimes this doesn't works at all, Windows stop responding while i'm trying to open the "Network Connections" panel... after the timeout completed and the dialup is disconnected i can open it again !
What's the problem !?
I'm downloading the new Dell BT stack for my laptop... i'll update you again...
I cannot figure the problem is my device... i can surf with opera beta for WM5 without any problems !!!

I solved the problem....
I've upgraded my MS BT stack with the Dell BT stack new update (Latitude D410).
Everything seems working fine now, i can stay connected above 15 minutes now... in this moment i'm writing throught my EDGE connection
I cannot use the USB modem... after 2 minutes i cannot send/receive packets anymore... i've disabled ActiveSync either on phone and laptop !
Some one could help with the USB and my Wizard?
Thanks.

Activesync Disconnects

Hi,
I have been suffering with a persistant Activesync connection problem. It usually connects and syncs fine the first time I boot my machine, but after around five minutes it almost always disconnects (though my Vario II continues to charge). Unplugging and replugging the USB cable does not work and the Activesync icon remains grey. Trying to start the connection manually either from the Vario II or from Activesync on the desktop also does not reconnect the device. In fact the only way to get it to connect again is to reboot my PC.
I'm using Activesync 4.2 downloaded from Microsoft this morning. I've tried deleting and recreating the partnerships, which does not help the issue. I've tried several USB cables which also do not resolve the issue, so I am now asking for your help.
If anyone has any insights into whaty might be happening I would appreciate your help...
Thanks,
Chris

I'm having the same problem, but in my case unplugging the cable from the device and plugging it again usually restarts the sync. Sometimes, however, I have to soft-reset to get it working again. Very annoying.

Hi Chris,
Ive had tons of issues with activesync on my works laptop..... I use a VPN and zonealarm... I used to have tno issues but since I got WM5 wich uses IP address's it always does the same thing as yours.. ive made sure the IP address is allowed in zone alarm.... my colleague also had this issue.. he managed to solve it by using a differnet USB port as his laptop has 3 one is on the side of the machine ... try using a different USB or disable zone alarm if you use it this could be causing the problem.
I sometimes get it to work if I have no VPN client running but as soon as I do use it the active sync stops.
Hope this may help you

I have exactly the same issue with my Vario II, never happened with my Vario and I have changed nothing other than my phone. Makes me think its summin to do with the harware possibly? Anyone else found a cure for this?

I Had the same problems, so I gave up on USB connection with active sync, I have 4 USB ports on my laptop and tried all, I now use bluetooth and works everytime.
There has always been problems with USB and actgive sync, so 4.2 was suppose to fix, but not for me.

I've got the same probelm on my Tytn. I've solve it to delete the Pocket Mechanic :shock: , I've done a S.R. and from now on the A.S. works correctly.
Ciao, Cesare

Had to use my old vario for a bit today, used activesync and it worked fine for the whole time I had it plugged in, got a new Vario II replacement today, got home and its exactly the same, would appear to be a mismatch between Vario II and activesync 4.2, can I connect by wifi?

Hello hmm the problem is if it uses direct or ip ,try go settings - connections - ( usb to pc ) and disable advance network funtctionality.
Hope that works
thanks

I had this problem too - I disabled advanced network capabilites in the "USB to PC" control panel under the Settings/Connections folder, and then Activsync stayed connected after that.
HTC TyTN 7/22/06 ROM

Just given that ago, Took me 5 attempts for the usb to pc connection settings screen to show up but then I realised it had to be plugged in to do it! Duh! What features do I loose by disabling ADVANCE NETWORK FUNCTIONALITY?

After the activesync working fine with my orange spv3100 for 4 weeks it suddenly refused to connect. I un-checked the "advanced functionality" box as suggested and it works again. Many thanks for the solution peeps.
I too would like to know what functions this deactivates.

Same problem, I've installed ActiveSync 4.5beta and now it stay connected, sometimes it disconnects but after restart of the phone it works again, one friend told me that the problem comes from the Activesync in the phone, so may be we have to look for the problem in the phone not in the PC

Activesync 4.2 problem
Hi all,
I too started having the same problems with Activesync 4.2 hanging my phone if left charging overnight. I decided to disable the advance network connection and that worked for a while. Now the phone wont sync AT ALL. It charges, but I can't do anything else. I reinstalled the Activesync 4.2, did a soft reset, off-on to the mobile, turn off-on my computer and still nothing. I will d/l Activesync 4.5 beta to see if that solves the problem, but it looks to be a problem with the Activesync in the mobile and not the one in the computer. I did the troubleshooting and it is detecting the USB connection but does not sync. I would really like to know if wireless sync can be achieved. Will post any fix if I find one. BTW my mobile is about a month and a half.

Sync problems with tytn
I've read through all the messages in this thread and wondered if someone could help me with some problems i've been having with syncing mine with a laptop. Often when I have the device plugged in when i boot up the laptop activesync won't start until i've disconnected the usb cable then reconnected it again-i never had this problem with the imate jam. My second problem arises when sometimes it says on the files section that there are un resolved items???? i then try to resolve the issue and a wizard comes up with add or remove buttons.afraid that i might remove something essential i tried the add button hoping this might resolve the issue-it didn't. i then gave up as nothing worked. after switching the laptop off and then syncing a day later there were no items to resolve so what exactly is happening. how can there be unresolved items one minute and nothing the next.also i hadn't done anything different on the tytn.if i select the add button on the window does it add a copy of the file highlighted and could this affect the operation of the device.Sorry if this seems a little confusing but i never had this problem with an xda exec or an imate jam.
please could someone help a non technical fifty something.

hi,
where can i find ADVANCE NETWORK FUNCTIONALITY

I agree, where is this option?
I'm running version 4.2 and along the top bar all I'm seeing is:
File - View - Tools - Help
Nothing like "Settings" and/or "Connections" in sight. Under "File" there is the "Connection Settings" option, but nowhere does it mention "Advanced Networking Functionality".......
Can someone explain this please?!

The "Advanced Networking Functionality" is on your phone, not on desktop's activesync.
On WM5, go to Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC and you will find the "Enable Advanced network functionality" option.

Every time I try that, I just get an error message saying: "Failed to disable RNDIS to use Serial".
Has anyone else seen this message? Happens regardless of whether the Vario II is connected by USB or not...
Thanks,
Chris

I'm still getting the RNDIS error, has anyone else come across this? Is there a solution?
Cheers,

Wireless modem ...

Hi to all , i'm a new user of TYTN .
I always use it as a modem to surf the web via BT in conjunction with my laptop.
My question is : there is a way to defaul the wireless modem to BT ( it default to usb ) when start the program and ( maybe ) the program starts automatically without select MENU>START....
ALSO : i saw that the internal modem work also when the device is into sleep mode and without starting the wireless modem but in this case the connection hang after few minutes ( i think the BT connection to the PC hang ).
If the device is in active state the internal modem work too and fine but if no data is exchanged for a while the device goes to sleep without advice then connection hang.
No problem using the wireless modem .
Again ... there is a way to add the internet sharing via PAN BT like hermes' brothers ( P3600) ???
thx in advance
Greeting from Italy
Davide

I'm having the same problem, also in Italy on TIM. I have tried two different SIM cards, different data plans, and can not find any pattern to the disonnects. If the connection sits idle, it will suddenly stop passing traffic. I have at times been able to keep the connection active by running a game (WoW) in the background on my laptop, but as soon as I the game quits due to timeout (not playing), the connection gets "stale" and dies. Other times, the game will not keep the connection active either. The time it stays active is inconsistent as well. Sometimes when I connect, I get no received packets, only sent. If I disconnect/reconnect 4 or 5 times, usually I will get a good connect and be able to open a web page. I do find it is worse in the daytime than in the evenings, but this is not always true.
BTW, I'm on a TyTn, MacBook Pro w/ the modem script linked from the wiki.
Any ideas?

@ jcolley :
i don't know about macbook , but a problem like your appear on micro$oft XP with the built in bluetooth stack .... much more better use the widcomm stack or toshiba stack for bluetooth

Nope, as there still isn't an AKU3 ROM for the TyTN.
As far as disconnection problems are concerned, try using a desktop-based ping utility to keep up the connection.

Wizard: IE The page cannot be found. Check the name and try again

After a while the Internet Explorer comes back with the msg: The page cannot be found. Check the name and try again.
Goodlink stays operational, so it can't be the GPRS connection. Tried several ROMs and am now on faria v5.0/2.18.0.0WWE. Still with the same problems.
Usually it happens when connecting with the PC through ActiveSync (4.5).
However it has happened without connecting to the PC too.
Solution till now is: cold reset and reinstall applications. But am wondering:
* is this a common problem? (met another person with a Trinity running into the same problem)
* is there another workaround, i.e. registry setting which locks up?
Thanks,
Johan

problem ?solved?
identified the problem to be with the laptop, not quite sure why, but it has to do with the USB port in the laptop. Even after exchanging the harddisk and re-imaging the laptop the problem still occurs. When I hook my pda's up with other PCs/laptops (after cold booting - reinstall apps) to run sync, there is no problem and Mobile-IE keeps working normally.
Don't know why, but at least its reproducable.

This is very common. I'm sure everyone has gotten this message sometime or other. If the website has a broken or bad link, this will pop up, or if a link wasn't tapped properly on the touch screen. No fix...

THANKS for your reply.
It's a bit more complicated than that. After connecting to the laptop there is no url accessible what so ever. Of course the msg is seen on other occasions as you said when not tapping properly or broken links, but after connecting it to the laptop directly it will give this msg continously.
I hooked it up to the laptop through a docking station/port replicator and then the internet connection keeps running. With the current laptop I have I simply musn't hook it up to through direct USB connection.

I also get the same error, but only over GPRS when I'm receiving an email and thus ActiveSync is going.

If you're getting a good and steady internet connection, and still get this message, I'm assuming the problem lies in the laptop itself.

WM 6.1, internet connection sharing bug?

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.
