I recently upgraded to Vista. Prior to the upgrade, I had configured my 8525 to act as a modem and got very nice internet connectivity when tethered to my PC. After I upgraded to Vista, I had to load an update to the usb modem driver, but with that done, I again had no problem connecting to the phone as a modem when tethered. In both cases, I used the "Wireless Modem" program on the phone to allow my PC access to the internet through the phone.
Unfortunately, I could not get my device to sync under Vista. After a bit of research, I discovered that I needed to install the Microsoft update to the Windows Mobile Device Center. I installed the update and everything synced perfectly. However, now I cannot get the phone to work as a modem any more. It appears that my PC cannot communicate with the phone since it says it is attempting to dial, but never gets a response.
All suggestions and help welcome.
TIA,
Ira
Hm, That's akward. Did you update the drivers for the modem?
You can find the update right here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=288753

I'm trying to sync my phone over Bluetooth (HTC Universal / Activesync 4.1 running on WinXP SP2)
I can send and receive files fine, and i've followed the step-by-step guide to creating a bluetooth connection in Activesync, but for some reason, when my phone finds my PC, there arent any services that it can use, so it wont sync.
I cant find anything mentioned about this in any of the help files, so i was wondering if anyone knew what im doing wrong?
Thanks!

OK well ive already followed the exact setup as in the first guide, but in the 2nd guide, they go into the Bluetooth setup (http://www.geekzone.co.nz/images/articles/ASBT3970/pc04.jpg)
but i dont get that option at all, im assuming its because i removed the Belkin drivers (seeing as their screenshot mentions TDK)... but they told me to remove that in the 1st setup Gah!
first when xp2 came out i used the ms bluetooth driver and it worked
ok later belkin and many others who use viddcomm software made new drivers for xp sp2 which works just fine too
Hello all,
I have bought qtek S200 recently and i have spent a lot of man hours trying to get this thing to sync with my desktop computer. it works fine with my laptop however doesn't want to sync with my desktop.
I get an new hardware wizard when i plug my pda into the USB requests for me to point to the drivers because windows was unable to find drivers.. I have gone through troubleshooting steps where disabling firewall / ant virus. Uninstalling active sync reinstalling / downgrading active sync and upgrading no luck. doesn’t matter if i try 3.8 or 4.2 it doesn't want to recognize my device and asks for the drivers.
i have windows xp with service pack 2 installed. so at this point i am wondering if someone has the driver files for it ? or what should be next step, any help would be appreciated.
Don't even try with activesync 3.8. It doesn't support WM5. Use 4.1 or 4.2...
Can't help beyond that...
I tought I had tried everything as well, when I found this utility over at Modaco (apparently included in the latest Dopod ROM).
Install and switch from RNDIS to Serial using the program and voila - worked like a charm for me!
Hope it helps!
After fighting with this device and my system for about 2 weeks. i noticed that my system had become so unstable that it wont' accept any new hardware. I tried installing a new 3COM network card and mostly 3com NIC's dont' require drivers however my system poped a window stating can't find drivers and put the device in system not working properly status.
so then i decided to format my computer and after the format, installed service pack 2 for xp and tried ACTIVE SYNC. without a problem it worked fine.
Hello all,
I'm having a problem with Windows Vista...I can't install my PPC-6700 as a usb modem. Oddly, this worked on older beta builds of Vista, but no longer works. When I plug the phone into the computer with wmodem running, the device is identified as a generic serial device. when I point vista to the driver .inf file, install begins but then craps out with the error cannot find file. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
MJB
Found a solution. Download the attached inf file to use with Windows Vista. It has been altered from the original version.
Best,

CDMA_USB_Driver works
I just tried the CDMA_USB_Driver with my T-Mobile MDA on Vista Business and it works just fine. With the other versions of the usb modem drivers I had also been getting the "file not found" error but this one work just fine
its offical this driver does work for vista whereas the original did not. Why my BT card comes in i will probably use that since from what i read it works better than usb in vista but for now this will be fine
Running into the same problems, Might sound crazy but where do I put the *.inf file?
Also, is there a new file to upload to the phone to get it to work?
Thanks.
Mine works fine with Vista Ultimate. In order to get it to work, make sure that you have no bangs in device manager. Connect the phone to the computer and it should detect it as new hardware. Once the new hardware wizard comes up point it to the usb file. It should install the modem after that. Once that is completed go into network connections and setup a dial up connection for the phone. Use #777 as the number to dial. that way when you start the usb modem on your phone, you connect to your system. Click on connect to, and then dial. It should connect without any issues..also if you do not already have it, download and install windows mobile device center for vista. This is the new app that is replacing active sync. Once installed it will recognize and sync with your phone
Is there any charges for this if you have the unlimited data plan?
Please note that with the "old" notebock, with vista too, i have use the Hermes without problem.
Just connect via usb and all works fine.
Now with the new notebock (same os (wm6.0 in ppc, and vista home in the notebock)) i have problems.
Vista dont recognize hermes.
so i cant connect ppc to notebock.
Some ona have idea how can i do a connection and a sync with vista.
Ps
i have install the wmdc but dosent works.
Please help.
pps

im going be crazy.
if i use internet sharing and conect the pda with notebook all works fine.
Pc find the rnids device and i can go to internet.
But if i try to sync the pc dont reconize the ppc...
welcom to the VISTA world
I've had nothing but issues with Vista and WM6 on my Hermes.
The few things I can suggest.
1) As you say Disable the Advanced networking....
2) Connect directly to a USB port, not through a hub.
3) Try soft-resetting your phone between connection attempts.
4) Remove associations between Vista and your phone.
I find that the first time I connect it everything's good, but on subsequent attempts it's hit and miss.
If you are using vista, there's an update for Windows Mobile software on the microsoft website.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx
you need to install 6.1 for it in order for WM6 to work with vista.
Cheers

If he is using the same version of WM Device center on both computers and i am assuming he is, then i doubt it will fix the problem by downloading the latest version as i have that version installed on both my pc's.
I had the same problem, where windows just detected the device as an unknown device and therefore wouldnt let me sync.
right click on my computer and click manage, then plug in your device and see if you have any unknown devices appearing if you do right click on it and click uninstall then unplug the device and wait 10 seconds then plug it back in, this solved it for me. Although i still have to do this every so often. But at least it allows me to sync with both my pc's
Hi,
I'm new hereand this is my first post.
I bought me a HTC Touch HD and it had it's original ROM so I wanted to upgrade it. I read the TUT from this site but got an error message when I executed the HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156Olinex.exe. Then I tried tu update the official Rom from the HTC site (1.56.404.1). This was OK. Then I tried again the Olinex and it seemed ok but it took just a few seconds to complete the update! I did it again and it was exactly the same: Updated within seconds. The only differece is when it boots, the D shows 1.56.00.00 ...
But after this action my laptop which I used to do all these, lost it's internet connection!!! I can receive mails but can't send them and can't connect to any website. I normally use a wifi connection and when I tried the LAN connection it is the same: No internet connection!?!
My modem is working because I can connect to the internet via wifi with my touch HD and my desktop.
I'm sure I didn't change any settings on my laptop. However I installed activesync and Windows Zune. But as soon as I saw that zune was downloading a bunch of **** I decided to uninstall this. The same thing I did with activesync4.5.
Then I started to search the internet but couldn't find anything like this. Then I started rereading all kind of manuals from this forum and then I realised I didn't install de .net software but in Softwar I can see there is .net framework3.5 SPI on my XP SP3 laptop. I'm not shure if that is what is wrong?
I also have to mention that I don't have the official CD's for the Touch HD. So I don't know if you need to install any usb drivers for the device in XP. I got sometimes error messages when connecting the HD with usb to the laptop like unknown usb device or this device can use a faster usb connection (something like that).
I'm so frustrated now! I'm afraid I have to reinstall XP because I can't find out why I lost my internet connection on my laptop?
Is there anybody out there? who can help me with this wierd problem?
Regards,
Carlo
