Hi!
Has someone a solution / configuration for to get windows working with xda2 as a modem?
i'm pretty sure it works as a bluetooth modem without any software
Using XDA as a modem to your PC
VIA BLUETOOTH CONNECTION & GPRS:
If your PC does not have an integrated Bluetooth connection, you must first install a Bluetooth dongle (USB to Bluetooth) on your PC, with the related software (widcomm or other)
Open on your PC in the Control Panel the Phone and Modem Options
Choose Modems, pick the Bluetooth Modem, then click on Properties
Click on Advanced tab
Type in Extra Initialization commands:
AT+CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”xxx”,””,0,0
where xxx is your internet access point.
Now click on the Bluetooth icon of XDA, and choose Discoverable mode
On your PC:
Click on Bluetooth icon (My Bluetooth places)
Click Bluetooth Setup Wizard.
Choose I want to find a specific Bluetooth device …
After a search period, an icon of your XDA is displayed (usually with your owner’s name): double click for settings
From the Dial-up Networking Links, click on SSA
SSA settings:
Modem: Bluetooth Modem
Number to dial: *99#
User name and password, according to Network provider
Yes it works. Im using my cradle/usb connection though and not bluetooth. I am browsing the net for free and using msn for free!! what I dont get is that why, as im using o2s settings, can i access msn via my laptop using my gprs modem, yet i cant access msn using my xda2. I know they both using the same ports! 8080...bloody weird? Or is there something else which affects the connection to net via laptop than there is connecting to gprs via xda2 connection inbuilt. Any ideas?
Drivers needed
Could please anyone post the drivers to use the HTC Himalaya as a gprs modem on my notebook.
I've lost the T-Mobile CD.
QTEK m100/i mate jam
I have been trying without success for two whole evenings to make this htc device act as a wireless usb modem for my sony viao laptop. I downloaded the USB modem dialler utility that is referred to in the sites, and when I physically connect with the USB cable and turn on the wmodem utility on the qtek then it will connect through GPRS and that is a workable if wirebound solution. However, if I disconnect and close the dieler utility, (which doesnt install, it just exe's everytime you open it) I have to fully reboot the laptop before it will connect again.
Using windows to detect the bluetooth modem results in it spotting 3 bluetooth modems, only one of which is available to "query". Using the Vodafone connect (PC) software, (which works with my old sony ericsson t610), with the newly installed bluetooth modem results in an"AT command not supported" failure message. It does this with or without the GCDCONDetc initialisation string in the modem's advanced settings.
Has anyone got a simple HTC bluetooth modem driver or any better ideas? This is driving me bananas.
Thanks
Appologies in advance for the daft question. I was wondering if its possible for me to configure my Wizard as a gateway to the internet?
From my Wizard, once I've established a GPRS connection I can browse/surf the internet, but I'd like to be able to connect with my PC and browse the intenet.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance and once again, sorry for the newb question.

I won't have a Wizard. But, let me guess
Try switching on your Wizard IR and point it to your PC. It things goes well, your PC should say some hardware detected.. and it should have a modem class hardware, which should enable you to connect to the net. Try fiddle with it. That is what's on offer from my SonyE phone.
Is it possible to make a connection through usb cable?
jep, you can use youre wizzard als a gprs modem for youre laptop.
start with going trough
[start]
[programs]
[modem link]
plug in the usb on bove sides (wizzard and pc)
youre pc will find a new deviece.
Insert youre cd from t-mobile with applications. On that cd is also a set of drivers for the wizzard modem function. (just tell windows to search the cd the rest will be done automaticly)
go to connections on youre pc.
create a new connection.
make sure it's pointing to youre new added modem (wizzard).
use for the phone number *99#
have a little patience and wola youre welcome on the world wide web.
ps if you are dutch try this post on a dutch forum which is maybe more clear

Both IrDA and USB will work as described above. IrDA, on the other hand, is not the way to go if you have EDGE - IrDA's maximal 115 kbps is slower than the maximal about 175 kbps of EDGE.
If you have Bluetooth support in the notebook, you will want to read this tutorial on setting up the Wizard as a Bleutooh modem: http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=510&more=1
"Modem link" worked a treat - thanks!
For Vodafone Australia, I needed to send the following init string
"at+cgdcont=1,"IP","vfinternet.au"

Pity the GPRS counter doesn't work!
Any Drivers for OSX for my powerbook?
Interesting topic...
is there similarly a way to use WiFi from the Wizard on a laptop, via IR or USB?
Couldn't get this to work while recently at a hotel where the laptop couldn't see the hotspot anywhere in the room, but the wizard could see it everywhere in the room! =)
No.
What you need to do that is known in the Winblows world as "Internet Connection Sharing", or "ICS", and its not in the WinCE build. At all.
Going the OTHER way however - having your Windows laptop serve up the GPRS connection to a whole host of other machines on an ad-hoc Wifi network - that DOES work!
HI there i donot have modem drivers in my cdrom. Please if any one can post the drivers file on this page it will help a fellow pda user a lot.
Thank you very much in advance.
Here you go, enjoy. Tried it and I got 150 - 175 kbs at www.dslreports.com/mspeed @ 200k and 600k tests. Granted it was at 12:37 a.m. and not a big load on the network cause everyone is probably asleep.
Hmm, becuase of this, now I want to sell off my unlocked sierra 775 edge card because it's of no use to me now. Man I love this phone more and more!
Cheers,
Mike
Hi all,
I am able to use my MDA Vario as modem for my laptop connecting the MDA Vario via USB but when I connect I do not see the GPRS connection on my MDA Vario connecting or being used so a big G stands in the top of my screen instead of a G with two arrows below it.
I use as modem settings:
Dial number *99#
Extra initialization command +CGDCONT=1,"ip","internet","",0,0
Is GPRS used now?
If not how can I configure the MDA Vario or modem on my laptop in such a way that is use GPRS?
I think the "G" icon does not change even if it is connected.
in the modem setting replace the word " internet " with your providers GPRS setting,
in the case of t-mobile it will be " internet2.voicesream.com"
and that's it!
When I change "internet" into "internet2.voicestream.com" I am not able to connect at all and when I have this setting set to "internet" I am able to connect and use my MDA Vario as Modem.
The only thing I am very interested in is how do I know if I am using GPRS or normal modem as connection? This because I have a GPRS abo and I do not want to use my normal phone abo for modem connection.
Does anyone know if the internet setting is OK and how I can see if GPRS is used?
Thanks.
yes, that I know it will use the GPRS or EDGE conection, It is only convinient if you have an unlimited data plan.
I dind't notice that you where in the us, look up in you photo what you use to connect to your GPRS setting, and then use the same onenceon the computer in the HTC modem window.
internet2.voicestrem.com is only for the unlimited data plan in the USA with T-mobile..
http://www.taniwha.org.uk/gprs.html
this is a link with some setting
The page you have mentioned http://www.taniwha.org.uk/gprs.html mention to use internet-act for settings in modem and I am not able to connect using internet-act. I only use internet as setting in initialization string and I can connect.
I am located in the Netherlands and I assume that this is the correct configuration to use my MDA Vario as modem for my laptop and connect via GPRS. Will see on my next bill. .

what can i do?
thx
SAme here. It's a known issue
Im thinking to try:
Mobile stream USB Modem for PPC.
Somebody have test it?
IM getting the same thing now. If this is a known issue, and this was like 3 months ago is there any more news on this? Its becoming a right old pain in the backside for me right now!
I have two hermes, both with the same problem. I connect using dial up (bluetooth) but 300 kbps instead of 800
I can connect just fine over IrDA when using GPRS. I don't have bluetooth on my laptop, but I guess the transfer rate over bluetooth is to slow for a fullspeed connection. I can't test that either: I have the low-budget option Pocket Internet Total from T-mobile which is downgraded to 64kbps over UMTS.
For using fullspeed UMTS (3G) even HSDPA, I would recommend using the USB connection.
Two things that can make trouble:
a) I found was that when using the USB cable, I had to disable the automatic connection some programs try to make (such as direct push)
b) I used COM8 for my bluetooth gps: after setting the gps to com0, I could connect without any problem
I read in some thread that you had to disable the advance network features over USB but as far as I can tell that only limits the speed over usb (my guess: USB 1.0 (1.1) in stead of 2.0)
I have a tytn and it works great, I get 3g speeds between 900 and 1300.
1) Plug the usb cable into your pc
2) Make sure you have activesync USB connection disabled
3) Disconnect your gprs or 3g connection (this is real important)
4) Activate the wireless modem app, start connection
5) make sure your gprs/3g connection is inactive
6) plug your pda into the usb cable
7) pc recognizes the wireless modem
8) install driver
9) Create dial up to *99# or whatever your carrier uses
10) Again make sure your gprs/3g connection is inactive
11) dial using your dialup shortcut
after the first time, all you have to do in make sure your gprs/3g connection is disconnected, start the wireless modem app, plug into your usb cable, dial the *99# using your wirelss modem dialup shortcut
I have it working on both Windows Xp and Windows Vista...It is a great backup to my local internet connection and it is very easy to use
Pardon me if there is a difference, but on my Hermes to use its internal data connection as the bearer you have to use *99# (NOT #99*) as the number to dial when configuring the dial-up connection in Dial-Up Connections.
When I tried it (several times) on my XP laptop, it was almost childishly simple: regardless of whether the phone was already plugged in via USB or not, just load the wireless modem app, set the APN to general.t-mobile.uk, hit Start and bam: I wait for it to initialise (the lights in the application window light up to show connection and data, and once those show up just hit dial. No username, no password, Robert's your mother's brother. Worked every time I tried it.
Using a T-Mobile UK-branded Hermes fwiw.

the only CD i have that came in the box is the one that gives you ACTIVE SYNC and OUTLOOK.
Where online can I get the drivers?
My problem is my computer is not recognizing this phone as a modem.

Why not read the Hermes wiki for some very usefull information:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
The hermes wiki Faq http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_FAQs would have pointed you to a link to download the htc wireless modem driver:

Good Luck....
is it the same steps througt bluetooth ? I would have to make modem for my Pc throught BT.
Hi, tried to connect to my WIFI router by WPA with TKIP Encryption, but in TYNT isn`t any settings like that. Its availalbe just WEP.
Is any workaround? New driver for wifi or anything?
THX
Is it something where I can use as a modem if I connect it to my notebook or computer if I don't have internet service or if I am on the road?
I have the Cingular 8125 and have the MediaNet unlimited package...is that all I need to do it or will I be charged for trying this?
Thanks!
Did your phone not come with a manual?
Modem Link uses the data connection on your phone to share the internet connection with a pc or laptop...if you don't have a data connection it's not going to do you any good.
I have medianet unlimited data plan...I did some searching yesterday ...it connected..but I couldn't browse at all...I also tried connecting with bluetooth but it kept saying Error 633
help please...
I have Tmobile and their data plan so I can speak to that. I use the Wizard as a modem and log into the GPRS network. I tried connecting via USB but was never all that successful so I tried via a bluetooth link and it works and works repeatably. First thing you have to do is establish the connection the right way, on my Dell it can be either a dial up networking connection or serial port, here you need dial up network. On Tmobile you dial in by dialing *99# and then you're logged in automatically and I can browse the net, send emails or whatever, it's like a fast dialup but slow by broadband comparisons. I'd have to say I spent a fair amount of time messing around with this using different settings, if you can log into your net then you should be able to browse. I do not use modem link however. I upgraded my ROM to the latest Tmobile rev and it was gone, just as well because I don't need it.
Modem link allows you to use the GPRS connectivity on your phone to connect your laptop/pc to the internet.
To use this you need
USB Cable for your phone OR a laptop with an InfraRed port
HTC USB Modem driver - should be on a CD provided with the phone, O2 UK provide it on a CD labelled Wireless Modem Driver.
_______________________________
Run the Modem Link application on your phone select either "IRDA COMM"(This InfraRed if you haven't guess) or "USB" as appropriate. If using USB connect the phone to the PC/Laptop now, if InfraRed align the ports now.
PC/Laptop will detect the device as Generic Serial and ask what it should do to find driver (assuming your using Windows XP), at this point you use the CD with the driver on browse to the folder containing the driver and click Next.
finish the hardware installation and your modem is ready to go.
If you want to use your GPRS connection provided by your network create a new dial up connection on your laptop set to use the HTC USB Modem as its modem, and set the phone number to *99# username should be the same as in your phones GPRS settings.
Hope this helps.
ok I accomplished setting and running as USB...I dont have infared...but I want to connect wirelessly thru my bluetooth device, "Blue Soleil" ....I'm having trouble..it say I'm connected to COM14 then it automatically disconnects and give me an error "Dialing *99#.... Error 692: There was a hardware failure in the modem (or other connecting device)."
Might not be much help but I always had issues connecting my notebook using Modem Link via Bluetooth. I don't think the BT stack thats on this device plays well with some other chipsets when it comes to modem connectivity. Could just be my experience though. I just broke down and got a short 1 foot USB cable I carry with my laptop.
Media Link is Great
I use Media Link to connect my desktop to the net at home. I live in the middle of nowhere and don't see the point having my wizard and a home phone just to connect at a dial-up speed. That's right, it's not very fast...but it works. If you have T-mobile, put in the cd that you got with the MDA and open it. In the CD you will find an OEM folder that gives you instructions on where to load the driver and how to set up the connection. It turns it into a modem.
I have Cingular and based on your instructions...the CD looks the same where it has the OEM folder and driver..but the installation instructions is only for USB type connection..
I Lost the CD
Can someone post the drivers from the CD? I have lost my CD and I want to connect my computer at work to the internet.. can someone help me out? I have T-Mobile MDA and unlimited internet plant. Which btw I think the hotspot plan is stupid.. I don't use it at all but yet I still have to pay for it.. grr.. but yea any help wit the driver?

Can the following be done...
WM5 smartphones WM5 PDA's
Can the smartphones connect via bluetooth to a PDA and share the PDA's gprs/3g network / dial up connection
example 1. 5 smartphone no sim cards entering data. When returned back to main office automatically connect to pda and send data via the pda's internet connection
example 2. If the above is not achievable can the data be transfered to the pda via bluetooth automatically when smartphone return to main office.
Any thought appreciated..
