here is a guide how to use the xda1 as a wireless modem for a pc

but is there no way to use it for wireless lan???

I did this with an old XDA1 and IBM Thinkpad. It worked (just about!) on an IR link, but was incredibly slow. The IR connection was a bit flakey to say the least. I was reluctant to fork out on a serial cable for something I would use very occasionally. I now have XDA2 and new laptop which does not have serial connector-its got SIX usb,s though!
I was running through the set-up on the O2 pdf walk thru (can anyone memorise that rigmarole!) I notice that there is an option for Infra-red, serial, OR USB. The O2 notes don't mention any way of setting up the USB option. Does anyone out there have a clue how to do this?
By the way I dropped 12volt adapter on the XDA1, screen is dead, but the unit worked to allow me to transfer stuff back to my PC. Anybody need it for parts?

XDA II Modem Set Up Via USB
I think you will find it on the last 2 pages of the modem guide that's posted on the O2 web site It involves disabling USB active synch and then running the "add new hardware wizard" on the PC. It then asks you to install the HTC USB modem driver from the XDA II set up disk.
I got that far, but my old version of the XDA set up disk, does not seem to have the right modem driver on it. Does anyone have the HTC USB Modem driver on their set up disk I could share?

XDA 2 USB Wireless Modem
Ok, with a bit more searching through the posts I found this really excellent link.

It even has the missing file I was looking for! I am now up and running! Yeah!!!

Device connection to Hotel wall Broadband

My device ( see below ) is a Imate Jas Jar, the cable that connects has a mini usb to a normal usb connection for connection to PC ( with active sync).
I am soon to travel and the hotel rooms have broadband with the connection being a standard network cable. If I get a adapter for the normal usb to the standard network cable, will I get the INTERNET into my device.
Does my device have a network card like functionality on the end of the mini usb cable.
Please advise...

Never heard of that kind of rig,,, I travel with my O2 Exec and have always been able to hook up to my hotel highspeed via my wifi service in the O2.
Some hotels have USB connections at the hub for High speed so you should call the hotel and ask if they have a wifi hotspot or USB connection instead of the normal LAN cable connect.

The hotel that I am staying at have wifi in the lobby only.

No you can't. Your phone does not have USB host function on it. Get yourself a SD-WiFi

My god, whats SD Wifi ???

Or get yourself a wireless travel router, which is what I use. Works quite well for both the universal and laptops.
There are several models available, I show you this one (which I have) as an example:

The wireless travel router is the best suggestion.
The Universal already has WiFi, so no idea why someone suggested an SD WiFi card.
Nothing that connects via USB will work as the Universal does not support USB Host mode.
Most wireless routers for connection to a cat5 socket cable or dsl modem will also work, the are just not as small and neat as a travel router.

Why would you think that anyone with tornado A2DP experence would be reading a post on network connections in the universal forum, you might try looking for answers here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=285

What I did in the past was setup my notebook as an access-point (sorta). Since my notebook could accept CAT5, and has WiFi, what I did was connect CAT5 to notebook, enable "Internet Connection Sharing" on the wifi. Create a P2P (adhoc) connection with Universal -- and voila, internet access for Universal via WiFi within the room.

BTW, why don't you reflash your ROM with an AKU2.0 ROM so that you can have NATIVE A2DP support?

BTW, another vote for a travel router. It's pretty useless to look for a SD-based wired Ethernet card - I only know of CF-based ones. (And they suck too - they have REALLY bad power consumption)

My Question as i presumed it wud be was for BILLB
Hi
My question was addressed to BILLB and never meant for everyone in the forum, Gladly, we have nice minded people like you who have directed me to an available solution. Incidentally i upgraded my rom to AKU 3.2 and it supports A2DP Beautifully, but the sound is broken frequently, so am hunting at newwer grounds.

Thanx Minnesys...
I forgot to thank you for the direction..

Using Hermes As A Modem Over Bluetooth With Laptop (Speeds)

Hi
Using T-Mobile (UK) on the Stirling/Bannockburn transmitter...
Just changed to a Hermes from a Universal because I bought a umpc and no longer needed somet the size of the universal.
On the universal, I was seeing downloads of around 300Kbit/sec and uploads of about 100Kbit
On the Hermes with HSDPA enabled (I assume) I get downloads of between 700 and 1000Kbit/sec with uploads at 300Kbit/sec
Both the above measured with http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed/jisok=1
Pleased --> Yes indeed I am - a worthwhile speed increase
But
When I connect to the hermes via bluetooth from a laptop (using hermes as a modem), I am only seeing 300Kbit (both upstream and downstream). Both devices have bluetooth 2.0 (EDR).
On the universal I used to see the same speeds over bluetooth as on the device its-self (although I realise that my laptop speeds with the hermes exceed my universal speeds!)
Does HSDPA only work when the connection comes from the device its-self (rather than via bluetooth)??
Is there some kind of issue with bluetooth that slows things down? would USB prove to be faster?
The laptop has the option of fitting an HSDPA module, but I never went for this because it would also have meant paying for two contracts!
On the whole, I like the form factor of the hermes and dont really miss the keyboard/screen of the universal esp now I have a umpc.
Only critisism of the hermes would be that its not exactly production quality. Compared to my universal its very buggy. Guess thats just the products immaturity - its certaining no more buggy than my universal was on day 1.
Maybe HTC will eventually replace the universal - I got fed up with waiting and my old contract ended. The chap in the t-mobile shop showed me pics of t-mobiles forthcoming take on the HTC athena (think thats what its called - the one with the detatchable keyboard... but that's hardly a replacement for the universal.
Anyone had any experiences with using hermes on t-mobile (UK) over bluetooth as a modem from a laptop, please reply!

i cant get over 350k using bluetooth to desktop either.
Tytn has bluetooth 2.0,but NO EDR, maybe that is y.
when i use USB to desktop, i can get around 550k.

Hi
Looking at the modems for both USB and Bluetooth, the baud rate appears to be 115,200. In ControlPanel-->Modems.
This is the baud-rate limit for the hardware
If you get up the properties for your dialup account, and look at the modem properties from there, then you can select ~900Kbit. Unfortunately this does not alter the hardware port restrictions.
Of course, the speeds we are seeing are better than is poss over 115,200 anyway...
I find the USB modem thing very hit and miss - it only works properly where there are no other modems present otherwise, if the dial-up account cannot find the usb com port it just changes it to something else.
Other problems I have with the hermes are that sometimes it refuses to connect from the laptop at all (requiring a soft reset). Hopefully a new rom will fix this - this problem did not exist on my trusty universal.

usb internet dongle to htc touch is is possible

is it possible to connect a usb internet dongle via an adapter to htc touch to browse the internet . my htc is not unlocked so i cant put the three network sim card into the phone so i just wondered if it possible ?
thanks

I'm a bit of a newb, but if you flash your ROM I think you'll lose all mobile locks - try Dutty's or Miri's as I can vouch they're both stable and feature-packed, but there's a lot of choice out there

no currently it don't support usb host which is required to use other usb devices
only 2 htc devices support usb host don't seem to be a priority for htc

cheeers for the replies . it cleared that up for me

you dont lose all mobile locks when you flash your rom?

iPAQ h3950 and networking fun ;)

Hi there!
I have a iPAQ h3950 with Windows Mobile 2003 (Yes, i know, pretty old, but i am working on build a newer firmware for my device, if you have hints, hit me)
I also have a PCMCIA sleeve for my iPAQ.
I want to connect the iPAQ to my wireless LAN or via Cable to my LAN.
I have diffrent PC Cards in my collection, e.g. a gbit digitus card (with realtek drivers)
a Proxim Orinoco 8470 Gold with atheros chipset
a 3com 3ccfe575ct-d
and a 3com 3ccfe575ct
Somewhere I have another 3com card with a different chipset.
My problem now is, that I dont find any drivers for any of these cards.
First of all, most interesting for me would be a wireless LAN card for that device, but also wired LAN. If anyone suggest another card, that should run, then I'll have a look at it, but at first I would like to use, what I already have.
I want to use the iPAQ for configuring network devices, without the need for my laptop. I also own a serial cable for the device, so I can connect it to console ports of my devices.
One further thing I need is a Software that is xmodem compatible for my device, so I can flash devices right through the serial connection in the bootloader. (e.g. Linksys WRT54GL oder a Fonera via self made console cable)
I hope, that anyone can help me with my questions. As the Soft and hardware is old, it is hard to find working links on the net.
Thank you in advance for your help
