Is it possible to dial a phone number from WM contacts using bluetooth connection to a mobile phone? This is something I used in times when I had a phone and pda separate in two pieces...

I have wrote an eVB application which transmits data over GPRS that works fine on a Pocket PC 2002 device and on the XDA II (Pocket PC 2003) with eVB Runtimes installed. However, once an incoming call is answered on the XDA II the GPRS connection can not be re-established. This is handled at present by the eVB application "warm booting" the device after a set number of minutes of no GPRS connection.
Am I correct in thinking that the GPRS connection can not be established because the modem needs to be reset and if so how is this done programmatically as the eVB application runs in full screen mode so the user can not reset the modem by switching in and out of flight mode.
Thanks

From my experience it might not be the case.
I usually run PocketIRC and MSN Messenger on my XDA-II through GPRS. Once incoming call came in GPRS got disconnected (this is normal I guess). But GPRS will reconnected itself immediately after I hang up the phone and continue using these 2 apps without soft-reset or even turn on and off flight mode.
The interesting part is if the call didn't last long only MSN Messenger got disconnected but PocketIRC still connected and I can continued using it from old session! (but if the call last too long I will get Ping timeout error as usual)
If my memory serve me right I remember that radio stack version play some part in this GPRS problem. You might tried different radio stack (I'm using 1.18 version). And it might came down to different service provider GPRS configuration.
Upgraded XDA II firmware to ROM version 1.72.00WWE, Radio version 1.17.00, Protocol version 1337.28 and Ext ROM version 1.72.181.
No difference in the outcome to my problem. Any SDK's for these devices or activex components for manipulation of radio modem?
Thanks.
I have determined that I can reset the radio/modem by using the extended TAPI function lineSetEquipmentState. However I do not want to reset the modem if the user of the device is in the middle of a telephone conversation. Can this telephone call status be detected using the extended TAPI for the state/class change messages of the radio/equipment/GPRS?
I have nearly the same Problem.
Did you found a solution?
I want to know too!!!
Hello
I am using Windows Mobile 6 and want to make a connection from my Pocket PC to the internet using my mobile phone on a Bluetooth connection, on Windows Mobile 5 I would using the 'Extra Dial String' part while making the connection to *99# but in WM6 it has disappeared therefore I cannot make any connections.
Any tips?
Ta!

Hi Kev, no but I am also needing that, if anyone could help It will be highly appreciated...
Same here I'm afraid...
WM6 did remove DUN networking on favor of PAN. It has been hacked to get back DUN. I am on dial up tonight do not able to find links for you but look for a thread I started about TOMTOM and DUN and look for mfrazzz's response. Also you can look for menneisys (sp?) posting on pocket pc mag or somewhere where he details how to do the hack.
In WM6 is really easy..
It includes an application called "Internet Sharing" (it must be in programs).
To use it, you only have to chose in 2 combo boxes:
1- If you want to share the connection via USB or Bluetooth
2- Which network connection you want to share
Then tap on Connect, and then plug the USB cable (or connect via bluetooth).
After this, you phone would be recognized by windows as a network connection (the one you shared).
That's it...
Just keep in mind that if your connection uses a proxy, then you have to set this proxy in the program that you want to use in the PC too.

hey seems u trying to connnect to idea internet connection ! well i have the same connection on the go on my pc using my universal. hey guys if u ppl get to know about it do share how do to the hack i tried dearching but cudn find much
This was a well known problem that was discussed somewhere. If I remember correctly, the idea of the solution is pretty simple, but the implementation is rather tedious.
As a matter of fact, those connection settings including extra modem init strings are stored in the HKCU-Comm->RasBook-<connection name> registry under the keys "DevCfg" and "Entry".
If you export them in ASCII, you will know what I mean. They claimed that you can export these registries (esp the "DevCfg" key) from a WM5 device (with your init strings of course), and import it back to WM6. Things would then work as you wished.
But the trouble is you got to get a WM5 machine or someone to try to do it for you.
A am sure this has been asked before, but i couldn't find a clear answer.
1) What are the steps I have to take to connect my bluetooth enabled laptop to my 8125 so that I can surf the internet on the laptop? I have an unlimited data plan for my 8125.
2) What are the steps I have to take to use my 8125 as a wireless modem with a bluetooth connection to the laptop?
I have found different answers (set up the active sync and it should work, instructions how to use the laptop as a gateway for the 8125), but the answer to my questions above has so far eluded me.
Can you help? Thanks.
Once you find out....let me know....Ive been wanting to do the same thing.
its quite simple, turn on bluetooth on both devices and do a search for devices on your laptop, pair the two and one of the services from your phone should be dial up networking. select that, and it should i belive automatically set up a dial up connection, if not just create one with your blkuetooth device as the modem, and the phone number to dial wil be *99# that should be it, i figure you most prolly dont need a username/ password, and you would know if you had one or not.

Sounds simple....I think the info I was looking for was: Do I need a dial up account and/or a data plan on my cell phone?
I think they did away with the 5.99 T-zones.
So either its pay for a slow dial up account....or get raped by Tmobile for their internet plan.
Hey there,
I've been searching the net and this forum for a long while but did not find anything close. Here's what I have in mind:
I have a mobile plan that allows free calls within the provider network. I have a couple of phones, normal mobiles, but also three HTC devices.
I would like to place one HTC device (WM5 or WM6 with Wifi or via ActiveSync) at home, where it will always stay on and is connected to the Wifi or the internet via ActiveSync. This device contains a SIM CARD and therefore is callable.
Now, when I am out, I'd like to use my other phone and basically dial-up the phone at home for a data connection (DUN). This part should be easy.
The tough part is: How do I get my phone at home to pick up the call, treat it as a data call and route the data through the Wifi or ActiveSync to provide internet over this call/connection.
Anyone done anything like that? Ideas?
Is this wat ur looking for ?

well, thanks for the hint. This would only solve part of the problem, but I am more worried about the modem part.
Now, I've changed the scenario a bit and I think this should be doable, yet I fail to get Vista to setup a incoming connection via Bluetooth modem...
New scenario:
Vista Internet PC connected to HTC WM5 via Bluetooth, Bluetooth Modem detected and useable on PC.
In Win98, I think, I was able to set up an incoming modem connection, so it would pick up automatically and take the call as a data call and route it over the local network. This would be perfect!
In Vista, I don't manage to find this incoming connection option anymore.
Yet, this solution would need a running PC all the time, not perfect. So if anyone has an idea on how to do this solely on a HTC WM5 device, this would be brilliant!
Good evening Gents,
Thanks for taking the time to read this but I am pulling my hair out here.
I want to use my HTC HD to dial a anlog modem (56k modem we all used to use for the internet)
Now in it not to connect to an ISP, it is for a management system. THe systems use a standard 56k type modem on a normal CSD connection (land line, PSTN).
I have so far setup the modem over bluetooth and I can query it and get a reply, all the usauly AT items in the list. When I try to send a dial out to the phone ie 0122234485858 the bluetooth connects and the phone will not dial the number.
everything else works find, internet connect sharing etc, but not standard old dial up.
Has anyone got this to work on WM6?
THanks for any replies.
Over and out
Cheers
