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.
Hi All,
I am new to ELF i.e. HTC touch
I was expecting somebody knows the solution for my problem
Problem: I have HTC Touch (Black one) P3450 from last few days while I

Any update on this....
urgent....
First of all, not being able to find your device is 'normal' ... until you've made an activesync connection, you won't see your device.
Now, for your activesync problem, do you see an error code? Like 80004005 or 80006007?
It's a pretty common problem for activesync, but from my experience it seems to pop its ugly head a lot more often for WM6 devices than the older OS, like the 'tried and tested' WM2003SE platform.
There could be many causes for this. I'd suggest going through the following steps to try to fix it:
1. Disable all the items under Option (calender, contacts, notes, everything) and see if it can be connected via Activesync. If it can't, you're really screwed ... go to step 5
2. Disconnect your phone, and close Outlook on your PC. Now find scanpst.exe on your PC (installed with Outlook) and run it to scan and fix your .pst file.
3. Re-connect your phone, now add the options 1 by 1. I'd start with Notes, then contacts and calender. See if running scanpst.exe fixes the problem. If you're luck, you could be out of the woods by now.
4. If you get the same error after adding a particular item in option, that help you isolate where the problem is. Look at the entries in that item (calender, contact, notes etc) and see if there's anything that casues the problem. Relocate the items if necessary and add them 1 by 1.
5. If everything fails, or if you don't even care about the programs you've installed on the phone, just do a hard-reset (hold down green + red button at the same time, poke the reset button while still holding down the buttons, and press "select" when the messge appears on screen) and connect the phone to the PC and see if it syncs. If your phone can't even sync fresh after a hard-reset, send the phone back for repair.
I know from my experience, moving the contacts and adding them 1 by 1 got me out of the woods 1 time, and the other time I had to do a hard-reset ... good thing I backup my device weekly.
Good luck!
My bet is that you have a bad USB cable.
I have definitely seen the exact error messages and problems you describe with a HTC Universal.

Hi number 16,
Could you tell me where exactly are located the *pst. files? When I try to run scanpst.exe, it tells me to browse to the respective file, but I can't find it.
Thanks a lot.
The .pst file is the Outlook data file. Close outlook first, and right click on the icon to go to "Properties". From there you can see the location of your current .pst file location.

Hi number16
Thanks for your suggestions but I had already tried steps #1 to # 4. After that I had deleted all the relationship.
Now at present I don’t have any relationship for my device to PC.(When I had plug-in my device and tried to sync through ActiveSyc 4.5 it will show me Guest or new name for relationship.)
On some different forum they have some kind of problem there it was suggested to delete the Windows/ Temp folders files so that it will resolve the above problem.
Any think else you would like to suggest.
Hope somebody help me..

Have you *tried* another USB cable?
(I know, I know... but a cable that fails to sync can transmit data, I have seen this - it is strange but true).
Also
you may inadvertently have disabled a network connection on your PC. If you connect you should see a network icon showing like it is trying to obtain an ip address. If you disable that by accident it can also prevent connections but I still think you should try a new cable then check your network connections

Hey Sandi!
Have you tried unchecking the option under Settings\(System or Connection)\Usb to PC ?
Also, have you looked the pins of the miniUSB port? Are they in good shape?

Hi kokotas
Thanks for your reply.
well I had checked below things.
under Settings\(System or Connection)\Usb to PC = checked status.
I had took new *** USB Cable*** and tried to reconect but it won;t work out.
now I am worried I am unable to syn my device to my PC.
Uregent help required.
Sandi
1. Try:
Under Settings\(System or Connection)\Usb to PC = UNCHECKED status.
2. So you've tried a new cable and nothing changed! But I told you about the miniUSB port in your phone! Do you see any broken, twisted pins in there? I'm telling you this because I had my phone's pins broken and I have no connectivity via usb anymore!
Regards!
One final thought
Hi Saisan
I would counsel that you should try another PC first.
Next step:
Unplug your device...
Uninstall Activesync, remove the registry keys for the program and reboot. Download the latest release of ActiveSync and install that.
I would also suggest you could do worse than enable "SHOW_HIDDEN_DEVICES" in device manager and remove all greyed out items under USB in device manager (WITH YOUR DEVICE NOT ATTACHED) then reboot and reconnect your device.
Failing that you probably have either a connectivity issue (physical cables or connectors) or you have a logical connection issue (I think there is a possiblity that you have inadvertantly disabled a network connection).
When you connect a WM6 device it creates a new network connection which generally appears in the system tray. If you disable this (right click disable) active sync will stop working.
If you go into your network connections folder and re-enable any items that are disabled it should work. PROVIDED YOU HAVE TURNED OFF WINDOWS FIREWALL FIRST...
It does sound like a physical cable or connection problem though.
Hope that helps
Yours
Leon

Hi leon
Thanks for your advice. but I had tried this think already.
I had reinstalled Activesync 4.5 on new machine and tried to get sync.
I think there were some logical connection issue on which I am unable to create the relationship with my device from PC.
I had also tried to delete all the pervious relationship's and reconnected the same.
On some other forum it was suggested to delete the files from Windows/Temp directory from Device. but in HTC Touch when I connect the device it will automatically start activesync and it was connected but not sync.
shows message:
error: "Synchronization cannot be completed successfully. Reconnect
your device and try again. If the problem persists, see the Microsoft
ActiveSync Troubleshooter in Microsoft ActiveSync Help on your desktop
computer."
please help in this regards.

Hi Sandi,
Have you found a solution yet?
I've been facing the same problem for sometime now. Additionally, all files on my touch have become read-only. I can't copy, move or delete any files on the phone.
Hey guys,
i've got a very big problem.
I dont know why but every time i connect my Blackstone to the Computer it always open the "Internet Sharing" thing. Ive changed it over "Settings" back to Sync (and in settings/connections/USB to PC, check "Ask me first about USB connection type when I connect the device to the PC" also), but no change.
Then i canged in the registry the following key "HKLM\Software\HTC\USBToPCPopUP\" DWORD: OnlyTwoChoice=1
now the HTC Popup with the option "Sync" and "HDD" show up, but when i choose Sync it doesent connect and sync.
I want my three Options back and want the option that i can choose out of "Sync" "HDD" and "Internet Sharing"
Thank you
greetz
I started getting this problem when I used the Internet Sharing option for the first time. From then on it would automatically try IS instead of Activesysnc, no matter what I did.
I solved it by unticking the Enable faster data syncronization box in USB to PC tab, but this results in a clunky pile of tabs that come up when connecting to the PC.
Unticking the "Enable faster data syncronization" box in USB to PC tab, doesent solve the problem
Hello
I got the same problem where I did not get the "3 choices" screen while connecting to usb, and IS by default...
I just deleted all keys in the registry under //HKLM\Software\HTC\USBToPCPopUP\
and it went back to normal....
Hope it will the same for you..
I have the same problem since a while, but haven't found a solution yet... starting to get a little desperate...

I guess you mean the registry on the device itself?
I been looking for that, but it looks i don't have this //HKLM\Software\HTC\USBToPCPopUP\...
in fact, i'm facing the exact same problem as described in this htcforum.com post:
"http://www.htcforums.com/post5958.html#p5958" (yes, i posted there too )
i'm pretty sure the problem is NOT pc-related, the data-connection fails at every possible system i tested it with (ranging from xp to vista to ubuntu to osX), at least the usb-diskmode worked before on all these systems before... not anymore...
the answer of HTC support wasn't of much help either:
Dear valued HTC customer, Thank you for contacting our Customer Support Center. We are dedicated to providing you with the best quality service and answering all of your questions and concerns. You recently wrote us about an issue that you have encountered with your device. To clarify your issue, you stated that you were unable to connect your device to the PC. . For this you will need a full version of Microsoft Outlook 2003 or newer and Microsoft Activesync for Windows XP or Windows Mobile Device Centre for Vista. Once these are installed simply connect your device to your PC and it will transfer your details to your PC. I hope this is of help to you. If you need any further help we recommend calling for a direct guidance on these steps for synchronising. If the above steps do not resolve your issue, we invite you to visit the support area on our Web site.

i suspect them of not even reading about my problem, and just firing some default answer back... not really helpfull.
so i keep looking around for possible solutions for now.
I'm seriously thinking to make use of the warranty, but hate to lose the device for a long periode... anybody has experience with that?
another PCtoUSB problem, i get all 3 options, HDD and Internet Work perfectly, ActiveSync however doesn't. Vista recognizes it as a USB Pocket PC, but Vista Sync Center and WMDC do not, nothing. On HTC i get the charging icon, but not the Sync icon. Also in the ActiveSync --> Connections menu i have "Sync all PCs using this connection:" ticked, however the drop down menu is empty, nothing to select.
in the ActiveSync start screen there's just the fake Microsoft Exchange account, nothing else
Everything was working fine till few days ago :/

I tried this but still get ICS opening when I connect my device up. It is driving me mad now trying to sort this - I may even resort to a hard reset before the end of the weekend.
The only way I can get sync to work is to disable the faster data sync option.
hmm, every system i test with gives the same result:
the htc device does charge, but the usb data-connection never works...
could it be a faulty connector?
