Bluetooth GPRS modem on Mac OSX

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
Phil

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 ?

Problems Using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth

Hi, I just bought a MDA Vario and downloaded the software to sim-unlock it. I've been using it on Vodafone for a few days and have some problems:
Wi-Fi:
I can turn wireless on, but when I then go to IE to start surfing, it tries to connect using GPRS instead of Wi-Fi. How do I get it to use Wi-Fi instead?
Bluetooth:
I can Sync my device to my PC using Active Sync 4.1 over USB, but when trying to do this over bluetooth, I keep getting told that the device can't find a an existing Bluetooth partnership, even though I've set one up (several times)! What could I be doing wrong?
ROMS:
I've got the T-Mobile ROM on my phone, but I'd rather have a standard (non-network specific) ROM. Where can I download such a ROM? Would ther ebe any issues in overwriting the T-Mobile ROM with a Standard one? Which ROM is the "best"?
Regards,
Nirbho

If WiFi is on and connected successfully to the network, it should use WiFi. I sometimes find if I wander about, and the phone loses site of my Access Point without me noticing, the next time I request a webpage it will fire up GPRS. You say you're connected, but it sounds like the Vario doesn't think so. Are you sure you've got WEP/WPA keys correct, and that the Wireless AP isn't using MAC filtering? Have you been able to get onto the net with IE at all, or has it always tried to get out over GPRS instead?

When you pair the Vario with the PC, both ends will offer a list of Bluetooth profiles they support. When I tried with my laptop and a 3com BT dongle, despite it working fine with my old iPAQ, the Wizard didn't seem to think that the laptop offered the ActiveSync service (or maybe the laptop didn't think the phone did, I can't remember for sure). You need to make sure that the Vario (if that's the "device" that's complaining) believes the PC is offering ActiveSync as a Bluetooth service, or it will assume it's only paired with other phones, GPS's, headsets etc, but nothing with which it could activesync.

The ftp site here hosts a load of ROM's. I don't know of any that are noticeably better all around than any others. I have a Qtek phone, and although the later ROM fixes the BT voice-dial wake-up problem it also breaks, MMS and some bits of WiFi for some people. Others have installed the WWE version of a ROM and found that the keyboard doesn't match their hardware layout and some keys are wrong. They've then gone and broken button mappings trying to fix the keyboard problem. I know T-Mobile are the least subtle in their customisation, and many people seem to want to get rid of the pink look. I don't believe there is a clear winner in the ROM stakes. I've seen a few sigs that suggest people are starting to cook their own ROM with the GSM stack from one, the WiFi from another or whatever combination suits them. If you're up for doing the same, be my guest, but you may, unless you're experienced, find yourself worse off than you are now.
Have a look over in the "upgrading" forum and see what people seem to be using there. Be aware though, a lot of the "old timers" will be using I-Mate or Qtek devices which hit the streets before the O2 and T-Mobile variants, so they have had less device specific customisation done and were probabaly running a generic WWE (or localised) version anyway.
Hope that helps?

BlackBerry Connect Installed and Working well on HTC TyTn

Well, I have been testing it all day, and it works like a charm. I didn't want to post until I had verified it was working well....and it does. I'll be posting a detailed write up on how to do so, and what versions to use etc tomorrow. To all you people that have Blackberries, you can now move that email to your HTC TyTn(and probably most other WM5 PPC Phones)!

Are you able to access any other data rather than just blackberry? I have yet to find a way to do it.

Hi,
Can you put the link to download the client to install on the tytn?
Thanks,
Gilbert

Hi,
I have not installed it because it says it is in German. Is it? Second, is it carrier specific? The BB client for desk top is not the same we use in our company. I assume the desktop client from mycompany will work fine with the pocket pc client found in the downloaded program?
Thanks,
Gilbert

Anyone?

eagerly awaiting the howto that is forthcoming....
What carrier are you with? did you have to register it as a crackberry device with the provider?

is the blackberry connect on 3g or gprs?
Could anybody with blackberry connect work on the Hermes verify whether it's working on the GPRS connection or use 3G instead? thanks much

Connect to the internet using bluetooth

I want to connect to the internet using the internet from my laptop with bluetooth. Is that possible? I have windows mobile 5 and the latest rom for the 8525 installed.

You are in the wrong forum...this is for the 8125, not 8525. You may want to try out the Hermes forum, as that is another name for your specific model. Also, the term that you may want to search for is called "tether" or "internet sharing". You can use the search function in the Hermes forum and search for either of those topics and you should get an answer.

Ok, Ive been searching the whole day and nothing.. I re-posted the question at the Hermes forum. Thanks.

Same question from me, but for a 9100
With my other WM6 ROM I had no difficulties with Internet Sharing, but now I went to using WM5 and there's no such option.. is there a way to add this functionality?

Internet over Bluetooth
hey guys...
this wiki maybe of some assistance, good luck:

No, that's the reverse. It even says so. We need to know how to use the cellular network as a data source for our notebooks/laptops.

xv6900 no internet plan

HI, i just recently got the htc xv6900 from verizon, but i didn't get the internet plan. Is their any way for me to get internet through bluetooth or anything else? Any answer would help thanks

Anyone? plzzzzzz

Not that I know of.

you're not asking if you can be online when active syncing are you which you can. There's ways to active sync through blue tooth and I'd guess you can be online that way also but I haven't done it.

i have the sprint version (basically the exact same unit) with evdo service, but when i dont want to use it, i active sync via BT to my computer -- which has inet connection.
once the connection is established, then yes, u can get internet on the vogue. other than that, no other real way i guess...

for the activ sync could you guys tell me step by step how to do this? and my computer comes with bluetooth so i don't need a dongle right? OO and thanks for the replyes

No internet plan
You could also buy a microsd card that is a wifi adapter. Unless someone has cooked a rom that unlocks the WIFI capabilities

set the active sync to com7 and have ur BT dongle connect to ur fone.

thanks for the respons i will try it out as soon as possible

There is no wifi on the cdma vogue

Alright now i just got the usb sync with the xv6900 and i got internet. So i decided to use the bluetooth, but i was wrong: i don't have bluetooth on my desk top so i'm soon going to go to staples to buy a bluetooth adapter. I'll keep you guys updated. THANKS for all your help guys.

WOW guys!!! THanks for all of your advicess. I got the D-link Bluetooth Adapter DBT-120 for 30 bucks. And WOW it works. Not only is the internet fast, but it's free. I just plugged it in and installed in my besktop (with the given CD) and BAM it works. On the program just set it to recieve any invite. So far i've been to pocket youtube, and weather bug. Do you guys know off any good sites for games and wat not?? Thanks
