Internet via Bluetooth
Hello.
Try the "Passthrough" option in your ActiveSync settings. Once you've enabled this option, your PDA should use the internet (network) connection of your desktop-pc through ActiveSync.
By the way: I'm still looking for a bluetooth-dongle, for using the passthrough-option, the same way, as you described. Is there any special bluetooth-standart for the dongle, I have to look for? I'm asking because I'm a little bit afraid, that the whole bluetooth-connection doesn't work, with the "wrong" dongle.
Thanks much.
I have a Belkin Bluetooth dongle that I am going to try the activesync with later tonight when I get home from work. If it works, I can reply to this post if you like and let you know the model number of it ?
Rgds,
Rob.
Hi
Thanks, working now
I bought my dongle off Ebay
only a £10 + Postage of £3.00
And works perfect
Thanks

Hi and HEEEELLLLPPPPPP!!!!
Has anyone managed to connect the Mda Compact to a G4 Powerbook via bluetooth to access the internet on GPRS account??
I cant get the Apple to create a bluetooth dial up connection with the mda.....
Will a change in stack be useful eg bluesoleil / toshiba???
Are there any modem scripts for the mac??
Has anyone achieved this via PocketMac??
I am trying to connect a G4 Powerbook with Tiger to a unlocked UK T-Mobile MDA Compact runnung Qtec 1.12 English rom with big storage hack on UK Orange.
:shock:
sorry always wanted to use one of those emoticons.... :wink:
Any help would be greatly appreciated.....
Riz,
Have been trying the same with both QTEK 2020 (forgot HTC name) and S100 (Magician) both on panther & tiger. Haven't gotten past the Bluetooth issue. In terms of GPRS scripts http://www.taniwha.org.uk/ has some, but not for our favourite devices. Am desparate to get same sorted. Do believe HTC's Bluetooth implementation ha something to do with it. remember on my 2020, I did run a Bluetooth utility to increase BT functionality, but to no avail....
Sorry not to have been of more help

Welcome Mr. Apple ;-) I am also running on "the only real system". We have to wait for http://www.markspace.com/missingsync_windowsmobile.html Will not take longer than 2-3 month any more.
Thankyou guys for your responses desperate (sometimes girlie like) cry for help. In my quest I have found that there are many like us stuck in the void between ppc and osx.
I even tried creating a connection using virtual pc !! Desperate times etc .....I can’t wait to try this Missing Sync ..sounds too good to be real so I have Emailed the company with our queries.
Have any of you guys tried it yet ???
Thanks again
sorry should read "to my "desperate girlie like etc
will poof read next time

Actually the mark/space site says The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile will be available before the end of June, not 2 or 3 months.
So any day now.
BUT, I have read in another thread here that both mark/space and pocketmac programs promise a whole lot more than they actually deliver, and are buggy.
Are there no other alternatives?
i think that the panther version is available now for the MDA Qtec s100 etc and the tiger version will be in the form of a free update??
it will retail for 39.99usd...could be a costly experiment??
has anyone tried any of these products in the past???
please could you point out the thread where you saw the negative reports on pocketmac and missing sync
thanks
Yes, long time ago I used Missing Sync for Palm Clié. It was stable, simple and great. Im quite sure, the new version for my MDAc will be similar. Thats the reason why I already deleted PocketMAC from my Powerbook and don't sync anything till MarkSpace software is available.
If you have an old version from Missing Sync, equal if Palm, PPC or whatever, you can updrade for just 19 $
By the way, not very actual, but helpfull:http://www.markspace.com/support/remove_pocketmac.html But you also have to check everything manually and yourself, cause with Tiger there are new and more files less.
Hi Mr Macmax,
My knowledge of palm based systems is not to good. Please could you tell me ......
Did you sucsessfuly use the missing sync to connect the clie via bluetooth to your powerbook?
Did the clie allow you to use it as a modem to connect the powerbook to the net??
This is what i want to achieve with my MDAc and powerbook via a bluetooth connection. I am hoping to use the MDAc as a bluetooth GPRS modem for my powerbook.
I was wondering if the missing sync program would bridge that particular gap??
Thanks
Hi riz,
well it is a very long time ago I used Missing Sync for Palm, so I can't really remember what was possible and what not.
But it's important to know that we have 2 possebilities to sync our Baby on a MAC: MissingSync or PocketMAC. Last one is a, sorry, pain in the ass, so rests MissingSync.
If it will work like you described, well, als them. But I'm quiete sure it will work cause it already worked with PocketMAC. Otherwise it can be a problem regarding to the right phone driver. May have a look here for modem scripts: http://www.taniwha.org.uk/
Thanks for your advise Mr Macmax but i have already been down the script path trying generic and ipaq scripts in the hope to fool the G4...but its just too smart...
I am tempted to buy the panther version of missing sync that is available now.... i think?? set up panther on the powerbook and give it a go??
still....could be a costly experiment
BLUETOOTH TO BLUETOOTH.....WHATS THE BIG DEAL!!!! ....one of the teeth needs a filling!! is there a doctor in the house!!!!!
sorry....this is really starting to bug me.... :twisted:
hello again ....
Has anyone managed to create a Gprs connection with the MDAc and Mac via a SD Wifi card so the phone modem is used to connect the Mac to the net?
Also.....
Anyone have experience with GSG script creater ?? Could it be used to make a bluetooth Gprs script for the MDAc so the Mac recognizes the bluetooth modem???
http://www.macronsoft.com/pages/en/gsg.html
anyone ??
Did you use an AT String. This is neccessary for windows. Look for the AT String needed for your provider and paste it into the properties of your bluetooth modem. At least, this is the way it works with windows.
I have managed to get it working with XP. I am trying to get it working with a Mac G4 Powerbook
..thanks for trying though....
The thing is, it shouldn't depend on the Os. The SSA service is standardized, your stack will be the same as for windows I guess (Widcomm, isn't it?). The only thing you need to set is the AT string, the rest should be done by the profile itself (i.e. giving you a dialog where to enter the connection settings).
The problem is that the i can not get the Mac to recognise the MDAc as a modem... so i fall at hurdle one..
..and i am not to sure where i would enter the init string ??
The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile is out now . but . i emailed them with this issue and they kindly informed me that this software will not allow the mdac to be used as a bluetooth gprs modem.
its been a while but has anyone cracked this little nut yet ?
ross from
www.taniwha.org.uk/
has been trying to help me on this but my knowledge of the mac is far from expert
is there any way to connect the two devices ie usb , wifi etc ?
as far as the g 4 is concerned the jam is modemless ?

Hi, I just bought a qtek 9100, my first ppc ever, so please have understanding with my zero knowledge.
My question then:
When I connect the wifi, it will find my wireless homenetwork, and I have good signalstrenght aswell, but still when I try to browse the internet ,or try to connect to msn messenger it says that it cannot. I´ve had it working the first two days, but now it won´t.
What have I done wrong?
Plaese help an amateur to understand this device....
Hey guys,
Ok this sync is really bugging me, first it took me ages to work out why when i plugged it in the connection went green ina ctive sync and said connecting but wasnt working no matter how long i gave it - turns out it was a firewal problem,
but now when i plug in my wizard and the wizard says connecting under active sync but my computer active sync doesnt do anything, i tried switching usbs restarting both PC and Wizard to no avail, i know my PC is seeing somthing there because it says at first (when i plug into new USB port) found device etc etc, but then it installs it as a network connection and trys to aquire an IP/Network address from it!! that doesnt seem right to me!
Any advice would be great
Thanks
Nathan
hmm has anyone with a working active sync noticed if its installed as a network device for you? does the wizard work as a USB - GPRS modem? because that would explain that bit.
Thanks
Hmmm...
I'm gonna guess that no one is responding because you've basically said some things that lead everyone to believe you've not researched your device or problem before starting a new thread about issues that have been covered time and again.
First, by default Windows Mobile 5 (WM5) connects using the Network Connection method. If you want to use the old USB Serial connection your will need to upgrade to an AKU 2.2 or AKU 2.3 Rom.
Second, if you use the search function (see the top center of the screen) you will find numerous threads discussing several issues with ActiveSync.
Newbies are always welcome but you need to at least try to find your answers before just plopping donw a new thread.
Hi,
I did a search, and tried most of the suggestions, but i dont get this AKU2 thing? and couldnt find a deifnition.
but anyway im since broken the phone so thanks anyway guys
Check your vpn option and firewall option. If you using cisco vpn then uncheck "statefull firewall (always on)".
Just read this in the manual .....
"When your MDA Compact IV is connected via ActiveSync and your PC is connected tothe Internet, you can browse the Internet, retrieve Outlook emails and also use or update some of the applications that require an Internet connection - and all of it straight from your phone (e.g. you can update Weather or QuickGPS, or use Google Maps)"
Anyone know how I do this - have been trying to figure it out ... but in vain
Just worked it out ....
so... ??
I mean, this is a forum.
I'm sure, there are hundreds of geeks out there, who havn't figured out.
SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE !!
Explain, what you did, what happened, how you solved..
cheers

Hi guys,
first off - sorry I didn't post my solution earlier - and thanks to jackwidu for pointing out the error of my ways
I connect to my pc using Activesync Version 4.5.0. When connected through activesync, I was unable to (and also unaware that I could) connect my diamond to the pc's internet connection. I recent read that this was possible in the user manual and at first despite trying all different settings, still failed to do so.
Eventually, as in many microsoft cases, I uninstalled activesync and reinstalled and hey presto, was able to access the internet through my pc
Not sure if this will work for everyone but interested to find out if it does ....
good luck guys
