Hi,
Ok after the breakthrough regarding the ROM updates for QTEK 1010 and it was first revealed here on xda-develpers.com we have some new options in the QTEK now one of them is the WM.
Did anyone manage to use the Wireless Modem via IRDA because its not working the first thing is that the computer is seeing the device on infrared but not as a modem and i dont have an *.inf file to indentify it. If anyone managed to use his QTEK or any XDA via infrared to connect his laptop to the internet using GPRS plz explain how.
thanks
to irda on win2k/xp

Install software at own risk, but this exposes a permanent COM port using IrDA. Also nukes Wireless Link in the process.
Setup a manual modem, select the COM port from above, presto!
Ummm its a good idea but i am not sure if this will work on Windows XP... what do you think?
it does
it does, but as with all things apply with care
Tried it
I tried this a long time ago, IRCOMM2k works on XP but the problem is that i couldn't figure out how to setup a IR generic Modem working on that port.
Yes please, this is a good article,
I installed the ircomm2k on my XP, but how to configure the connection from my laptop to connect to the internet via my XDA PDA as an external modem?
to setup xda as a modem
1. Install Ircomm. note which com port is assigned as permanent.
2. Add new modem: standard 33600
3. Select com port from item 1 as the com port of choice
4. Edit modem profile in devices settings, in Extra Initialisation Commands add AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","apn name"
5. VERY IMPORTANT: set flow control to OFF
6. Set port speed to 115200 ONLY
Set up a Mobile Web net connection as per your operator
Select your above modem
Align xda with irda port; select start on Wmodem app
Double click Mobile Web connection.
Surf. It's OK but not as fast as a GPRS card.
OR you can wait for O2 to eventually post some instructions...
Thank you very much for your feedback
I did all what you asked me to do, but its not working it gave me an error message:
Error 692: There was a hardware failure in the modem (or other connecting device).
I replaced AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","apn name" BY AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","apn01" same as Im using in my PDA. Am I right?
Something I didn't understand in your reply:
(Set up a Mobile Web net connection), you mean a normal dial-up connection?
One more thing, what do you mean by (select start on Wmodem app)?
Do I have to do anything in my PDA before I connect from my laptop? or do I have to do anything in my PDA configuration or connections settings?
Please help me, I want to use the Gprs on my laptop, no need to pay for 2 services, one for the PDA and other for my laptop

"select start on Wmodem app" - this means go into the Wireless Modem application on the xda, select IrDA (if thats now you are connecting) and then tap the Start button.
When you've done that, go the the DUN connection on laptop and connect as you normally do.
Unfortunatly I dont have "Wireless Modem application" on my XDA from where I can get it?
I thought the command was:
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","apn name","",0,0
I don't know about the command but what Im sure about it is that wModem application is mandatory, so from where I can get it?

Hi
The wireless modem will be available in the next ROM update from the xda team. I understand that this will be released in the next couple weeks - they are in the final stages of testing.
We will highlight the new ROM on our homepage with a link to the downloadable files.

Hmm... really good question. ME is an update to 98 as I recall, but a clunky upgrade.
Way to check: Setup a new modem. When it asks which COM port you wish to use, if you can select Virtual Infrared COM port then it should work fine.
Get the instructions at www.o2.co.uk/xda on Help and Support.
Anyone know what the T-Mobile USA network connections for using WModem are?
For UK O2 they are:
Primary DNS - 193.113.200.200
Alternate DNS - 193.113.200.201
User name - O2Web
Password - password
Has anyone used wmodem in the US with T-Mobile as a service provider?
Thanks,
JP
Qtek as wireless modem
I also have oldish ME Laptop computer. I did exactly as described on O2 support site. It does not work. The modem on laptop immediately disconnects saying it's not responding properly.
I have tried several cooked versions of the 4..00.16 Eng T-Moble and the 4.00.11 ENG WM2003 roms and niether one installs the WModem app. Any ideas why?
I have a T-Mobile version of the PPC, radio stack 6.24
WM with old laptop computer
It worked for me. I could connect my oldish ME notebook computer to internet over gprs using WM in xda. I used the extra string from o2 and just changed the access point name.
It goes as this:
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","apn"
It works, but the WM just stops responding the moment you disconnect the connection from PC. The PC waits and waits for the confirmation and then hangs up saying no reponse. But as long as you are connected it works very well.
I upgrade to new UK ROm 1.60.00 and i see the Wireless Modem in the program menu,i try to run it but it displays that erro .... that i cant use my XDA II as a wireless modem for my laptop although i connected it with my USB cable...
plzz help me out if anyone know
ActiveSync
This article will tell you everything about using XDAII as a modem : http://www.ppcw.net/index.php?itemid=1656
You can download modem driver from the same site.
It is important to turn off ActiveSync, otherwise it won't work.
Regards,
is this just using the XDAII as a wireless network card? or am I confused?

Hi
I have been trying to use my XDA II as a modem and every time I try it give me a error. Error 692 Hardware Failure..
Can anyone pleasr help me with this?
I have a similar problem, please help!
I stopped trying via IRDA and set it up via the USB Sync cable, using GPRS. Works like a charm.
I was going cross-eyed trying to make it work and it wouldn't. Took about 15 minutes with the cable.
Is not working with the USB cable either
I had followed the instruction on PPC website (which seems identical to those on the XDA II official website):
http://www.ppcw.net/?itemid=1656&catid=80
but no luck... I'm still getting an error message... usually 732,
have you done anything different?
Please help Thx,
Chris
Did you successfully install the HTC USB Modem?
Was ActiveSync closed down, as it must be?
Did you use the USB Dialler program to make the connection?
Did it show the HTC USB Modem?
Was GPRS connected on the XDA?
Did you enter the correct User ID and Password?
A friend of mine tells me they're not necessary, as it works off your IMEI code, I've never tried it without them.
Dear ardarby,
Thank you for your help... here are my answers.
Did you successfully install the HTC USB Modem?
Yes
Was ActiveSync closed down, as it must be?
More than that: I disable USB a mean for active Sync to connect to the device, both on the PC and on the PPC
Did you use the USB Dialler program to make the connection?
Yes
Did it show the HTC USB Modem?
Yes
Was GPRS connected on the XDA?
I think so... how do I see it
Did you enter the correct User ID and Password?
Yes
A friend of mine tells me they're not necessary, as it works off your IMEI code, I've never tried it without them.
I am now getting an error which is something like error 734... any clue?
Thanks,
Chris

try using the wmodem program. full instructions in the o2 manual or available from www.myxda.com. you will need a serial connection to use wmodem there are some files included on the setup CD for using a usb connection full instructions on this site somewhere. failing that i have a .rar file somwhere, pm me if you need the files.

I have a T-Mobile Pocket PC phone(more information in my profile). I have a USB and Serial port cable for it as well. Is there anyway I can use my serial or usb cable to connect to the internet on my main computer, but using the connection from my phone. Someone from another forum told me this forum had a solution, but I have no idea what to search for.
Thanks in advance!
The main key is using the Wireless Modem software.
Read this for a long history

Good news: You can also upgrade to the 2003 version of pocketPC
4.01.12 ENG O2euro from
http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/
which include a WModem too for 2003 version.
Thanks for your help! I almost have it working...I'm just having trouble installing the ROM version.
