Wireless Modem in new ROM updates

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
visit http://www.ircomm2k.de
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
Best regards, Ali Alsaffar [email protected]

"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. I HAVE AN OLDISH LAPTOP RUNNING WIN ME. WILL IRCOMM2K WORK ON ME OR IS IT INTENDED (AS NAMED) FOR WIN 2K AND XP ONLY?

Subject: RE: wireless modem
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.

XDA II Mini & SD Wifi Card

When I put in my SD Wifi card into it, it doesn't seem to work. I know that my SD WiFi card is working as it works when I use it on a XDA II.
I went to check the Network Card on the Mini, it does not have the SDIO WLAN adapter in it. Is this normal? Does it mean that I have to install the adapter myself? Where can I find the adapter for XDA II Mini????
Thanks for your help as I am really new to this.

Install this...
copy to device through ActiveSync explorer.
Goto device's File Explorer, look for the CAB file that you just copied.
Tap on the file to install.

Sandisk Driver
I have an XDA Mini, downloaded and installed the latest driver from www.sandisk.com, have tried both the Wifi, and the combo wifi card, the wifi works well. The combo also works okay, although does have some lock ups, but IT DOES WORK!!!
I have been tyring to export ROM without doing any harm to device as only have it on load for a few more days, as want to bring the SDIO driver accross to my XDA2.
Have noticed the BT is having problems also, and would envisage an update is coming for this to bring up to new version that is on XDA IIs.

Thanks.
I shall try it when I get off work tonight.
Thanks again.
But one more question, does anyone know if the WLAN adapter should come with the XDA Mini?

You have to install the driver first .
After that no problemos
it work fine ( WifiFofum work very good !!!)

Hi,
the latest driver from sandisk that you have mentioned, is it this?
http://www.sandisk.com/download/Drivers/wifi/256mb-setup03.exe
or something better?
I'd tried this before in WM2003SE 2.06. No dice. If it works in Magician, I'm inclined to hope that the SDBus drivers has been updated, and (cross my fingers) that SDIO H/W slot is the same.
hmm....something more to be cheerful about during Christmas...

Yep, have a tried a few different versions, and all have worked okay. I had to give back the Mini before I could find the SDBus drivers, as had a similar idea for the XDA2.
Thanksfully still have a XDA2s to play with for a while.

I wonder why I didn't look at this before.
The Mini and JAM has the same version of SD drivers:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Drivers\SDIO]
"SDMemory"="0.25.00"
"Common"="0.25.60"
"SDBusDriver"="BSQ 1.2 + 0.25.00"
Whereas the 2.02/2.06 has these version:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Drivers\SDIO]
"Common"="0.15.10 HIMA"
"SDBusDriver"="0.15.00 HIMA"
Anyone can confirm the 2.20tl version?
The drivers are in the ROM though, and it's not a simple search and replace operation.
I wonder, would it be worth to upgrade the Himalaya with Magician ROM???
I'd quite a few pple now that says that the 256MB SD drivers for PPC 2003 works with the Mini now. I've tweaked the registries for the Himalaya, but only get as far to allow the wlan tools to recognise the card..still no joy.

Guess what...sd wifi of (256 combo) working....
I've managed to get the Wifi portion of the Sandisk Wifi 256 working
on my 206 ROMed XDA2 device.
The steps are abit complicated, so try at you own risks!
The steps are:
(a) download the sandisk 256 drivers from www.sandisk.com (256mb-setup03.exe)
(b) remove your XDA2 device from the cradle, and execute the file.
(c) Goto to the Microsoft ActiveSync folder, and look for this folder "SanDisk Corp\Wi-Fi_WINCE400"
(d) Within this folder, there is a Pegas.2577.CAB
(e) Using WinCAB Manager, open this CAB file
(f) Within the Pegas.2577.CAB file, there is another "SDBusDriver12.CAB" at file index 5.
(g) Now, download the Magician ROM (the SD card version) from the forum's ftpsite.
(h) Using dumprom, dump the contents of the Magician ROM and locate 2 files "SDBusDriver.dll" and "SDMemory.dll"
(i) Replace these 2 new files with the ones in the "SDBusDriver12.CAB"
(j) Re-save the "SDBusDriver12.CAB" and replace the file in "Pegas.2577.CAB"
(k) save "Pegas.2577.CAB" and connect the XDA2 device back to the cradle.
(l) install the Sandisk drivers following the prompts.
(m) Soft reset the XDA2 device when done.
Insert the 256MB+Wifi SD card, and activate the Wifi !!!
You might find that I've gone the long way as I have yet to figure out the full implications of the setup. It doesn't replace the original DLL files in /Windows as the 2 files are installed as CUSTOM SD drivers.
Perhaps we can pool our brains together and crack the SDMemory portion.
I am surfing on my XDA2 device using the Wifi as I am writing this, so I believe we are close to the verge of cracking this.

i don't really know what you mean.
i was talking about the standard sandisk software and there is a tab called "AP Browser"

what is the brand of the access point wi-fi that you have ?

bussy deciding whitch one to buy, I'm now trying to access the neigboars netwerk.

Unless your neighbour has specifically allowed you access to his network you will probably not be allowed to connect.
And as long as you're trying with your neighbours access point, brilcas question about the make of the access point would apply to the one they have.

OK I had a wifi connection.
my brother turned his laptop into an AP and i had a connection with it.
So I know the wifi on the imate works but there's still one problem.
When i was connected with wifi and i tryed IE explorer it wanted to connected by using wifi.
How can i change that into wifi?

eltinio,
I am still trying to get WiFi to work on the WM2003SE UK XDAII version...
In response to your question, you need to tap Start > Settings > Connections and then tap Connections (make sure your WiFi card is in and enabled).
Tap the Advanced Tab and then tap the Select Networks button, from the first drop down list select My Work Network and then tap Edit.. > Proxy Settings tab and then tap the 'This Network connects to the Internet' checkbox and then tap OK to save and OK again to exit the connection manager.
You will no be able to browse the internet...

henrylim,
Could you post a link to the WiFi drivers you cooked or provide the file in this thread please so we can all test it out as most people may not able to perform the tasks you have listed to enable the WiFi drivers.
Thanks in advance,
Godz

Yeah I do ( 3.8 ), cannot use 4.1 as I need to update my pc to install that, and windows updates ruins some of my applications.
cheers

Hi - I think you we struggle to connect a WM05 PPC if you do not install the latest activsync (4.1). My Mini S would not even connect reliably with the software that came with the device (O2 XDA - the disc has ActivSync 4.0!!!) as soon as I upgraded to 4.1 it's much more relible, not perfect! and certainly not as good a my back up device - HP2210 running WM2003 this device never failed to connect with 3.8.
Sorry but I think you will need to update your PC somehow.
Unless anyone knows a trick to get around this problem. :?
Regards,
Chris.

It won't work with 3.x, you need 4.1 installed.

Help - T-mobile MDA Modem Setup

I am trying to setup my T-mobile MDA as a modem. I would like to be able to use it as a USB or Infared modem. Can someone point me in the direction on detailed instructions of how to do this so I can get internet through my phone on my computer? Thanks for your time.

Hope this helps
Here is what works for me
====
Not sure if these will be spefic for your device, I called T-Mobile to get all the settings the guy guided me though everything.
---
To get instructions and get to Drivers-----
Insert the CD that came with the MDA and Explore the cd, on the cd open the folder OEM>APPS>Drivers>USB Modem> this is where you will find the drivers and instructions
open the word document inside and that should give you some instructions for your device
After you do all the installation you will need to go to Control panel>Phone and modem options(on your PC), then go to the modems tab double click the HTC USB Modem then the Advanced tab in the Extra initialization commands box put in
AT+cgdcont=1,"IP","wap.voicestream.com","",0,0
And then to test the connection you must have the MDA pluged into the computer then on the MDA go to Start>Programs>Modem Link, then Activate. All of my settings in Modem link are
Connection is: USB
Baud rate is: Unused
Access point name is: wap.voicestream.com
Hope everything on here works for you![/url]

Thanks
