i-mate (Widcomm bt stack) and Dial-Up Networking

Hi all!
I have installed the WidComm stack, but since then I cannot use my i-mate as a GPRS Dial-Up Modem. When I select Dial-Up from the Bluetooth devices, after some seconds it pops up a window where I can enter my username, password and the number to be dialed. But when I press Dial, nothing more happens, just a window pops up saying "Dialing *99#..." but then I get an error message "Error 692: There was a hardware failure in the modem...".
I tried it with and without Hardware flow control etc., with and without AT command +cdgcont=1,"IP","internet",0,0 still no success.
On the other hand my old MS Stack lost its SSA profile somehow, so I cannot connect through that one either anymore.
Since noone is saying anything about this issue, I assume everybody is happy and has it working, am I right? :wink:
Any ideas? :?: Please help, I need it badly... :?

I have the exact same problem. Have you found the solution?
I think it's caused by the widcomm stack that was extracted from a non phone-edition ppc (which of course cannot be used as a modem). maybe the extracted stack from a hp 6300 works?
Funny thing is I also can't connect via IR.
l did a hard reset & voila, I can use my xda2 as a wireless bluetooth gprs modem again.

Putra,
really ? after a new format u were able to connect using GPRS and USB without any problems ?
I' have the same problem with my i-mate k-jam latest WWE rom...
Error 692: There was a hardware failure in the modem !!!
And the connection were dropped down...
Maybe could be the SPB GPRS Monitor program ?
I've disabled all possible thing related to ActiveSync and Usb connection , either on pc and my k-jam....
I'm goin' to be crazy !!!
Only one time i was able to connect for up to 2 minute, without any problems... and then, after i've tried again to estabilish a new connection, i won't be able... it sais Error 892.... !!!
Anyone Could Help me ?
Thanks a lot in advance...
Raid.

sorry...
Sorry there, but it was so long ago, I cannot even remember what I did.
I have upgraded to the Prophet since Jan, and no longer using the Xda2... it's now my backup in case something happens to my Prophet.

The Bluetooth connection works fine... but sometimes the modem still "hang" and i got Error 692 or TCP Error 743... it seems that the major problems are caused by the ActiveSync, when i disable the USB connection either on my phone and on my laptop everything goes fine...
With the USB connection....no way at all ! After 2 minutes the connection is terminated.... even if i've disabled ActiveSync USB connection...
Hope this helps....
Alessio.

Nothing to do....
Also using BT stack (Microsoft) after few minutes my wireless modem seems still connected, but i cannot send/receive packets over the internet.
It seems like frozen !!!
And after i've clicked the "Disconnect" through the dialup connection icon on my task bar, my wireless modem doesn't respond anymore... i need to reset my device and sometimes this doesn't works at all, Windows stop responding while i'm trying to open the "Network Connections" panel... after the timeout completed and the dialup is disconnected i can open it again !
What's the problem !?
I'm downloading the new Dell BT stack for my laptop... i'll update you again...
I cannot figure the problem is my device... i can surf with opera beta for WM5 without any problems !!!

I solved the problem....
I've upgraded my MS BT stack with the Dell BT stack new update (Latitude D410).
Everything seems working fine now, i can stay connected above 15 minutes now... in this moment i'm writing throught my EDGE connection
I cannot use the USB modem... after 2 minutes i cannot send/receive packets anymore... i've disabled ActiveSync either on phone and laptop !
Some one could help with the USB and my Wizard?
Thanks.

wifi help, yes again i know...

i read pages of threads on this forum, but im not getting nowhere fast!
I'll start at the begining, mda t-mobile original rom, working as it should, upgraded the rom several diff ones and not working, tryed the origainal rom and not working!
rom now on the mda,
ROM version 2.8.7.1WWE
radio version 01.13.10
protocal version 4.0.13.24
ExtROM version 2.8.7.101
ive intsalled DJVW WLAN 302.11g Activator 1.0.cab
Now the problem, when the wifis switched on it takes awhile to even detect the network, my old ipaq would be conected as soon as switched on?
when it does detect the network it trys to conect for about 2mins then gives up ( in same room as router )
it wont conect but i can see the mda has downloaded about 20kbs of info, but can get no further?
Am i missing something here?
Also where do you go to check you have the latest drivers, updates, newest rom etc
Thanks for taking the time to read this :wink:

Hello,
I have found that i am having similiar problems with Wifi after updating to the latest qtek 9100 ship ROM on my qtek 9100 device.
the device can "see" the WIFI but it will not/connot "use" it.

Ya same here. I can turn on the wifi but it doesnt connect anymore ! I know fopr sure that there are at least 4 wifi connections around me normally but I dont see any of them !

I had this problem but was able to fix it by giving my router my DNS settings (that I got from my ISP).
For some reason, certian routers will not serve the MDA with any sites unless it has the IP address of your ISP's DNS server.
This should take care of your problem.
If this doesn't work, go to your public library and see if you can get on their wifi. This will help you troubleshoot to see if there's actually a hardware problem.

Actually the problem i had is unusual in that i could connect to any open WIFI zone aswell as our work and home one, BUT it will not carry any traffic AT ALL. Only uses GPRS NO wifi.
I actually hard reset the device yesterday and ensured that Push email was switched off - WIFI is functioning fine now.
There is still one problem. When i cannot the device to my PC for an active sync. It will sync with the PC but throw an error when trying to sync with exchange server via the WIFI.
The error on the PC active sync is
"The server could not be reached. This can be caused by temporary network conditions
SUpport code:85002003"
It also throws an error on the device.
This is a right pain and did not happen on the previous version of the ROM. It means i have to do a seperate exchange server sync when disconnected from the PC. ANyone have ideas on how to fix this.
Incidently, another thing I have noticed with the NEw ROM is that contact lookup is noticeably slower - sometimes I have to wait for a few seconds
before the contact i am searching for actually comes up. This is in comparison to the immediate results of searches in my old ROM.
Jass

right ive reload a rom, and the wifi works, then after adding each of my aplications, ive tested the wifi conection, i found wififofum being the problem.
now i know the developer of wififofum has an wizard himself , that runs this aplication no problems, ut on mine it seems to just freeze the wifi, giving a rssi signal of 90 no matter how close or far im from the source?

GPRS/EDGE with wireless modem. HELP !

I have some problems with GPRS/EDGE connection using the wireless modem...
I flashed my i-Mate K-Jam Italian, with the latest i-Mate WWE ROM.
Before the flash i never tried the wireless modem, so i dunno if it is a ROM problem....
But...
1) I have serious problems using the USB modem link option, in this mode after about two minutes my modem seems hangs and the connection still stays up but i cannot send/receive any packets from the internet. Also, when i try to disconnect the remote connection through the windows connection icon on my taskbar, the modem logs shows up timeout error contacting modem...... when the timeouts end i cannot use the modem anymore and i got a Error 692...hardware error.... i need to reset the modem or turn on/off the flight mode...
2) After updating my BT Stack (Microsoft) with the native BT drivers of my laptop (Dell Latitude D410), the bluetooh connection seems working fine... but after about 15-20 minutes the modem still hangs like happen with the USB connection. Before the driver upgrade i was stuck in the same way of the USB connection !!
I've disabled ActiveSync USB either on my phone and on my Pc...
My KJAM works fine if i use OperaBeta or IM+ on my phone... so i can connect/disconnect and so on whenever i want !
I've got a Nokia 6021 that ROCKS with EDGE on my laptop, compared to my K-JAM!
Anyone have a solution ?
Is a known problem of the last iMate ROM?
I'm going to be crazy....please someone help me ! Razz
My configuration is:
Dell Latitude D410
ActiveSync 4.1 build 4841
Dell BT driver (Toshiba model)
Software on phone:
SPB PocketPlus, Diary , Backup
OperaBeta 8.5
TotalCommander
smartskey in background
Tomtom
I've uninstalled SPB GPRS monitor and IM+
PS: i'm sorry if i made some English errors i'm italian !

I had the same problem since oct'05 with pda2k. Then I thought I was having a faulty device, so I bought kjam since nov'05. From that month to today I didn't found any solution. I search forums, ask ISP, upgrade to O2, Qtek ............ Nothing worked. So, I think using nokia or a sierra card is the solution.

the wifi problem always unsolved

Like already write, I'm looking to helps ref a singular problem in my ppc branded SB but with sw THC in english - I was buy it in thailand one month ago and until 20 of december everythink was ok, but...
I found that the ROM contain the: HTC TyTN 1.18.255.106 ExtROM WWE
The NETWORK MANAGER show me that the tytn is CONNECT to WIFI access point but in the CONNECTIONS always appear no any presence of WIRELESS SERVICE that I can select to use for browse my server , internet and/or skype call
If I use the usb connection there is connection, same by umts and gprs services
Really I don't unterstand what's happen!
I was already many time doing the hard reset but nothing is change!
What you think about?
May be that there are corrupted files that avoid to install few commands?
Regards Freddie
There are the other part of sw that are install in the device by the manufacturer or seller that are not include inside the rom place?
Thanks in advance for your helpings
Black Eagle

go to setting >connections>network cards>
then
you will see a bunch of access points
when you see the one that says available
hold the styles down on it
tap connect
and you should be ok
also check the drop down menu on the bottom of the page
make sure its on both access points and whatever else it says
and also disable the cingular proxy
start>settings>connections>connections>setup proxy server>uncheck the uses proxy server to connect to the internet box

Sorry may be that I was wrong explaine you:
1. in the setting>connections>network cards = no problem my tytn find the access point and after my prompt connect without problem.
2. the problem is in the setting>connections>connections>advanced>select networks>my ISP>edit ... = where there are no tracks of the wireless network available to be select, in way to use the wifi connection that in setting>connections>network cards is ON
I wait your reply thanks
Black Eagle

black eagle,
I think I've undertand your question...
If you have found the WiFi access point and have gotten conected, there is no need to set a conection for that access point;At least, for me that it's not necesary.
When I go to a public place with wifi, or in my home LAN, just let the connections settings to "My ISP" without any changes (no new modem, nothing at all) and thats all, you can surf the net.
regards;
mablan

my problem solved
hi mablan,
thanx very much, fortunately i searched the forum for wifi and got ur post.
i too had the problem of getting good wifi connectivity over my adsl router witg my prophet( O2 neo) but not able to surf net in PIE. when i selected network as "My ISP" it all gone and now i am able to surf my adsl on neo, without any prblem.
thanx once again.
now only problem arises of autometically shifting/choosing of network for wifi and gprs. i remember it is stated somwhere in forum, i will make a try.

Hello mablan,
thanks for your interesting in my singular problem.
I understand what you mean but is not my case, even if my ppc in the setting>wireless lan>advanced>status result connected to the network, I cannot surf internet.
If I go to setting>networks cards i find my home hotspot that result waiting to connecting but ... always not connected
= in the wireless lan I am connected but in the network cards my connection don't exist - also in the connections>connections there is not the choice to select wireless network, don't exist

Hi BlackEagle, now I undestand your problem.
I'm sorry, I don't know what could be the cause of your problem.
Just a dumb question: Have you try to change the settings of your wireless network? I mean, in settings>connections>networkcards tap the name of the wn you want to use and change the settings of the Network key and 802.1x tabs...
If I found arround someplace something that can help you will let you know
regards and hope you find the answer..I'm sure someone here at the forum will help you

Hi,
.NET CF2 is the microsoft.NET software that can you download from msoft website:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...cb-4362-4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5&displaylang=en
download it 22,6 mb and with your device connect by usb install it, when you start the installation, it find your device connect and install just the appropriate drivers, not all the sw
Black Eagle

Thanks Black Eagle I`ll try that!

This installable is for computer, its not for a mobile device. The microsoft webpage does not say this is for Windows Mobile OS.

KTyTnUser, check the date of the last post so as not to make a fool of yourself. It was almost 2 years ago....

so?
i am having the same problem with windows M 6 so looking for solutions. how does it matter if someone else faced the same problem 2 years ago?

Its relevant because MS may not be offering the same software to download. I've noticed that some of the older solutions aren't any good for certain things anymore as the apps no longer work for the OS I'm using or that the app, though easily found a while ago, is no longer supported by certain sites.
2 years is forever in the computer world....

wifi

Is anyone else having problems with a sx-66 and wifi. I have upgraded to all three roms, tried radio rom 1.15 and 1.13 and still no luck. I can see the network and it attempts to connect and then drops. I am trying to connect to a linksys router and I am using wep. I have other PPC's wm5 and wm6 and they all connect no problems. It worked with the 2003se on it. Any ideas would be appreciated. I currently have the xplode rom (fixed version).
greg

I also have a sx66 and i used to have the same problems on different roms. But ever since helmis wm6 rom i have gotten it to work. I am currently using pdaviets rom.
It could just be the rom compatibility.
Im not sure if this is useful but try turning on Wlan first. Then afterwards turn on wifi.

I tried Helmi's rom with no luck, but I think I will reflash it and try again. If I don't follow the procedure that you suggested it will not work at all (wifi won't turn on).
Thanks for the suggestions... I will see if going back to Helmi's works.
greg

hi...
actually i have a helmi's rom.
i had the same problem, but i had discovered that you should turn on the bluetooth first, then turn on the wifi.
be sure you have all programs closed, and if you still haven't do it, softreset the device and try again

wlan manager first after SR
I use Helmi's WM6 rom. Issue was there in WM5 rom too, mostly after soft reset.
Workaround:
after a soft reset I first connect WiFi via WLAN manager (it tries to connect but doesn't). Then I use the COM Manager (I installed the HTC Touch 2.0 from xplode, but previous/other version also OK) and I connect without problem.
Use workaround anytime when WiFi seems non responsive.
Cheers

Ok i will explain something about wifi problems
Our drivers have a lil bugs in wm5-6
Wifi startup procedure in WM6:
1.Turn on the wifi from wireless manager (start=>settings=>connections=>wireless lan)
2.It will turn on and automatically turn off (this is afrer soft reset and you must do it after every soft reset if you want to use wifi on/off trough comm manager. it will stay on only after first usage in a fresh rom)
3.Turn on the wifi trough comm manager
4.It will detect your network(try to connect to it so the newtwork settings to be applyed - encryption, channel, ssid and password) but it will not connect to it
4. turn off wifi and then turn it back on (this time it will detect your network and it will connect)
this procedure works for me every time
i use linksys wrt54gc router with WPA TKIP encryption, tryed this on other routers and AP's also and it work flawlessly

For me, the following 2 steps always work:
1) Turn on 'Wi-Fi' from CommMgr
2) Once inside CommMgr, click (settings;Wireless LAN) and select 'Turn on WLAN'
With these 2 steps, my Wifi ALWAYS turn on (even after soft reset).
Sometimes, step1 by itself turns it on.
I programmed CommMgr to be the bottom-right icon for (Contacts) on screen.
My bottom-left button is programmed for Tomtom6.

check out xplode's HTC WLAN Manager cab
I have just installed xplode's HTC WLAN Manager cab which solved all my WiFi issues. Have a look (and download the file) at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1668110#post1668110
Also post your findings, whether it worked for you etc.
(Is there a way to combine these 2 threads (admin?), they seem a duplication.)
Cheers,

I gave up on Helmi's ROM and thought I would try yours: I wonder if your method might work better on your ROM?? If it doesn't, I assume your solution might!
But I am having problems installing your ROM: I suspect my problem might be blindlingly obvious. Your installation utility sees the BA and correctly identifies my unit and the Helmi OS. I then try to upgrade and with nothing changing on the BA, the computer stops seeing the unit and fails every time with Error 101. Sometimes if I try again it fails with Error 150. Rebooting doesn't seem to help. When it fails, curiously the upgrade utility hangs on the screen and the upgrade panel (with no progress of course) stays transparent in the foreground. I am using Windows XP and the original radio ROM as i cant see how the Radio could affect how the computer sees the BA.
Or is the BA just a buggy unit and should I stick with my Wizard? (I kinda like the thinness and size of the screen on the BA and wonder if VoIP might work better on a 400 MHz unit than a 190 MHz one?). Or has anyone managed to get any of the Wizard WM6 ROMs working on the BA?

licensedtoquill if you want to trash your BA I will take it off your hands.
The Errors you are talking about are old ones, you need to read the Wiki, not what the software says on the screen, I think from memory it says something like, do a normal reset now... ignore that and put the device into Bootloader mode (USB or Serial) then run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe update again.
DO NOT FOLLOW STEP 1 at the following screen. DON'T DO IT!

Yes, I had noticed that one!

It's rather funny, isnt it? It is designed to send you round in circles while showing a completely different device so as to say "Told You So!" But I can't imagine any device which would take this instruction to stop upgrading and start all over again in the middle of the upgrade process???
I do seem to have completely cured my WiFi problems (perhaps slightly labouriosly) by following your instructions. But what is Xplode's .cab file for??? In any event, it doesn't install, preferring to give an 'unsuccessful' error message instead. I wonder if it is supposed to be in Xplode's ROM or if it will be incorporated into some ROM in the future?
What mystifies me is why the BA ROMs are so much smaller than the Wizard ones? That so much seemingly has to be left out of them, to be installed later with all the conflicts which seem to ensue when you do this.
In any event, I am not about to junk my BA as I do prefer it to the Wizard at the moment for the screen size alone. You really can press an icon with a finger if necessary where on the Wizard, you invariably get the wrong one pressed.

Hi,
Ive exactly the same problem as you. It keeps trying to connect but without any success. It shows Wi-Fi: Connecting and after that Wi-Fi: Available/Unavailable, but not Connected. Every time it fails, damn !
