Hi guys,
I want to use my HTC Wizard to call out on the "normal" or DSL phone line when I am at home. This beacause all phone calls to all national non mobile numbers are free.
My PC is connected to the DSL Modem (ZYXEL P-2602HW-D1A) and with a modem connected to the phone out put of the modem and to the normal analog line.
Is there any one who has experience with this?

The answer is likely to not be as easy as you expect, although it may not be that hard.
Your modem may or may not work, when you do voice over a modem the modem needs to know this and not demand a carrier tone and other things that signal a data connection. Some modems are known to work in this capacity others are known to work very poorly (lots of echo) and others are known to not work at all. The majority of modems are not known whether or not they will work at all.
In short the easiest way to accomplish this task is to send data from your phone VoIP to your PC. There are free clients out there such as sjphone from sjlabs.com. You will likely want a headset on your phone as most dont use the same speaker as a regular phone call but instead the speakerphone and echo cancelation doesnt work well (the remote side will hear echo without headphones).
Now that your phone is taken care of you need something on the other side. Here you have choices. If you have a compatible modem you can use that as an FXO card with software like asterisk.org and soon freeswitch.org. If you do not have a compatible card, or do not wish to run VoIP software on your PC you can get an ATA that has an FXO port and lets you route calls to/from it. Grandstream.com has some, the HT486 comes to mind. I believe the linksys pap2 will also do this. Ebay may be your friend in locating a fairly cheap one, although they arent that expensive - and you are doing this to save money so depending on the number of calls you make it may pay for itself soon
Once you have this set up, you can actually choose to call people via your mobile plan or landline or even an internet based telephone company. Depending on how well you configure everything, you could in theory have it use all of those things, and you can even route calls from those services to your phone (ie get phone numers all over the world and answer them on your mda when you have internet).
All your mda needs is wifi/usb/gprs. And for those providers that block VoIP on gprs shame on you (and they generally dont block vpn traffic or even know what the contents of that are
Port restricted Cone NAT
Thanks for your support.
The WIFI way with a direct connetion to my Modem will do for now, but I have got the following problem there.
The error that is displayed is the following:
NAT/Firewall: Port Restricted Cone NAT
The settings which I have entered are the same as in my Modem:
Zyxel: P-2602HW-D1A
Provider Tiscali
Anybody who knows how to solve this or who has experience with VOIP provided by Tiscali or other ISP using your HTC Wizard
I have read there are programs for getting a stolen phone to send you a secret text with coordinates.
I would like to know if it is possible track a handset from a pc through software.
(i don't know much about gps but im guessing each one has its own address or id of some sort)
also I would like to know if this is possible when the handset is off?
There is commercial Sprite Terminator which has GPS coordinates message option built in. However I do not know whether it can satisfy all your needs. You can check it here.
a GPS is a passive device. It means that the satellites don't read informations from the GPS device, it's the contrary.
So in my opinion there is no way to "track" the GPS chip if there isn't a started program to do that on the phone.
However, tracking a cellular should be possible if you have "access" to the GSM antenae informations.
There is a program I use thats aimed towards devices with built-in GPS like my X7500 but can also work with bluetooth GPS but obviously they both need to be together and connected.One is what im using is MobileJustice http://sourceforge.net/projects/mjustice ,this one is free .The other one which is about the same but has a few extra features is w.i.m.p http://www.wimp-software.co.uk/ , this one is a commercial product.With both you set a password that you can send to your lost/stolen phone in a special format then silently one of those programs picks it up (txt msg doesnt even show) then it fires up GPS to get the phones position then sends it back to msg sender.Also with both if the sim card is changed it sends a txt msg to a number you configure to send it to in the program with the new number and sim id i believe.I recommend MJustice even tho it takes a bit of configuration, but also you can cook it in a rom in case anyone figures out how to hard reset it will be already installed with the config you cook it with.I can tell you MJustice saved me from a stroke when i lost my phone, i used my friends phone at work to send that special txt to my phone got the coordinates a few min later then used a gps to find it.
as stated one can never get gps to send any info to anything
so if it should send anything to anywhere it would be using
gsm/umts or the likes to send it's gps pos to somewhere
and if one reports ones phone stolen all gsm/umts stops working
to saves ones bill
cheers all. think i'll give Mjustice a look.
There's one I tried, and it works great: vito findme. Give it a try.

Hi D1ab70, I have a cdma phone. Do you know any software works for this. The phone is Samsung Rant. I lost it and I want to use a software similar to the one mentioned above to track the phone.
TIA,
usually, you need to install the software BEFORE you lose it.
then you send a specially worked txt to your phone and it sends you its GPS co-ordinates back.
if you could do it without installing software first it would be a massive privacy issue because i could track you or anyone else
I lost it already and don't have any control of it. I want to make some effort to locate it before I terminate my services. Thanks for your reply d-signet.
dial 911 and tell them that you lost your phone and they will call your phone and if somebody picks it up they will know the exact location where your phone is..personally i know somebody that works for the sheriff..it is just a matter of having connections..good luck.

I did talk to them and they will track it once I file a report. The problem is I can not file any report for a few more days due to some other reason.
Sprint's feature of family: locatr also gives the info, if activated. Again, Sprint will need the confirmation from the phone needs to be tracked, which doesn't help the situation here.
I wish there would be some other way,
Thanks for all the replies.
If I'm to get an used G1, what should I check? The trackball? The keyboard? Total on or talk time (how to check that, BTW?)...
Thanks in advance.
test the gps and wifi, look under the battery for the water stickers, talk time don't mean $h!+. See if the void sticker is there, and most of all, make a test call, ask the other person if they hear you good.
Just as phatmanxxl said, MAKE A TEST CALL! Can't stress this enough.
And remember, you're purchasing the phone, you have the right to test out every aspect of the phone to make sure it's in proper condition, don't try to rush through because you think they'll feel weird about it.
As others have stated, check bluetooth and wifi. Make sure to meet at a place with open wifi and make sure to connect to an access point and browse. Also, bring any bluetooth stuff you intend to pair and pair with said G1.
I bought a used g1 and I checked wifi and bluetooth by turning them on but I didnt really go any further than that. I figured if they could turn on, then they worked. When I got home, I tried to connect it to my router and it will NOT connect. Havent fully tested bluetooth but since its my wife's phone and she doesnt use bluetooth or wifi, I'm ok.
Also, bring an active SIM as the guy I bought mine from had performed a wipe and didnt have a sim. Luckily I brought my wife's sim and I popped it in and went through the whole login process.
Thanks to all!
Hi everyone,
I'm new here and this looks like a good place to learn about all things WinMo
Unfortunately, i think i may have donw something to my HD2 and now it wont let me on the internet. It says at the top its connected via 3g or whatever's the strongest connection. But whenever i try to launch anything requiring the internet it comes up saying its unable to connect and to try again.
I've had the phone 3 months and its been fine. THe only changes i've made from standard is adding cookies home tab (which im sure didnt do anything) the only other thing i did around the time of it stopping working is using tree size mobile i selected "Load Default Settings" could this have done it??
I've also just noticed it wont let me call people, it just does 3 beeps and hangs up even in strong signal.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Mark
Have you paid you're bill lol
anyway settings>connections>then take a look in connections see if all you're settings are still there if not go back a page and hit up connection set-up and it should put you're settings back in have a soft reset and try again call wise not sure, could be a problem with the phone that requires a hard reset(back to when you first got the device)
I'll enquire bout the bill, shouldnt be though, cos when you get cut off it doesnt let you connect to 3g, and when you call its just says connection to this number is restricted on this phone...which it isnt doing, its just not calling at all.
Been into settings and everything is on and i've done the reconfiguration to Vodafone and its still the same.
hey everyone, i think this is only my second post. Heres what im up to
have VM/Assurance Wireless on Kyocera Jax. Have and older HTC Evo i used on Sprint but hasnt been connected to their network for like a year
Im trying to swap out all the info so i can basically use the Evo instead of the Jax
I have cdma worshop, qxdp, etc
Problem is with getting the required info off of the donor phone, the Kyocera Jax. It seems that Virgin disables the usb data connection before shipping. You connect the phone with usb to a computer, and nothing happens. Device Manager doesnt even show a port. So like i said, it seems well known that Virgin disables their cheaper phones usb data connection
Ive tried unlocking the Kyocera by pressing 1111111, then hitting service. It asks for a password, most likely the spc/msl. However, people are saying these phones dont even have an spc/msl to avoid doing what im trying to do.
did write down a code from when i activated the phone, and it might be of use ##847446#
This allowed me to get into programming, but there was no option to allow data to the usb or anything else like that, it just shows me the MDN and MSID
The ##847446# code does not work when you hit 111111 and go to service when it asks for security code
It only works when you are dialing a number like you normally would
Whats the deal?
How can I activate the usb data port? What can i do to get info off the phone in order to switch over to the Evo if CDMA Workshop and Device Manager arent even showing any activity when the phone is connected via usb to the computer????
well i called Virgin trying to get an msl...they said they dont have them, that Kyocera has the msl. Went to the Kyocera site, it said to contact Virgin. Ugh. So nobody wants to give up the msl.
Virgin DOES disable the usb data connection on these phones. How do I enable it???
I cant really do this until i can get the info i need from the donor Kyocera phone...it has a usb connection but they disable it so you cant do **** like this i guess
I just want to use talk and text on my Evo by switchng the info from the Kyocera Virgin gave me with the Evo ,i do NOT care about data or 3g
still working on this one
I am not sure about Virgin but with Boost to get talk and text working you only need meid, mdn, and msid, then make the phone OTA program. As I said I do not know if it will work the same for Virgin as it does Boost but since they are on the same towers anyways I imagine not alot of settings should have to be changed. Hope this helps!
thanks mate! Well i have the mdn and msid...and i think the meid is actually on the battery...so i may just be in business!!! i think today is the day!!!
things arent going that well
the only thing i need for an OTA is the msl from my Evo. I cant connect the phone to CDMA workshop because there is something funky with the HTC DIAG driver install. I have the inf to make it show as htc usb modem but when i try to update the driver in order for CDMA workshop to work it says theres no devices that meet that software need
my other try to get the msl was with a terminal emulator. this process did not work either
im now going to try to root my phone, never rooted, not sure what will happen, and then i can run the msl reader application in the play store
Did you press ##3424# before trying to read evo with cdma ws?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
This is really becoming a nightmare. I cant tell you how many things ive had to download just to be able to root my phone, which is what ive decided to do in order to get my msl...after im rooted i will be able to use the msl reader from the app store.
ive never thought about rooting before, and im wondering if im going to lose all my data, such as contacts, everything. Will I? Im using the htcdev method and it may be easy to some of you but i swear all i do is see more and more links to files or programs i need to have first.
all i want is my msl
Called Sprint 1 to 5 times today trying to get my msl from them...but since the account has been cancelled for like a year due to payment, for some reason are unable to see the msl
They were more than happy to ask for an address to which they could send the bill for 250 bucks though

i did not! i shall try. probably what stumped me. After that ill keep tinkering. Thanks for being there klown!
im also new to the board so when i hit multiquote i thought that was to quote you in a reply so i think i need to delete like 5 multiquote mishaps
i cant really explain, it all happened so fast....the reason my HTC DIAG drivers were not working is because i didnt try the x86 option. I am now succesfully connected to CDMA workshop. Now to find the msl!!!!!! i should be able to find it with CDMA WOrkshop right?
edit WTF it says 0000 for spc
and there is an option to set it on or off. which do i choose? also an option to write it...just make it all zeros?
and should i still do ota or should i use cdma workshop? or use the virgin thread method?
got the correct spc from CDMA workshop. Now, when I open QPST, it doesnt even show my phone. Typed ##3424# before connecting, then connecting to CDMA workshop first, then opening QPST, but QPST will simply not read/see my phone. Are there specific drivers for QPST?

no, just connect it to the port your phone is on.
if you don't know the port, then you can find it through device manager, or you can just try connecting to ports in cdma until you find the right port, and then add the port in qpst

if you go to the last page i have a few posts about whats going on. Ive come very far. Sadly this last step with QXDM is simply not working... can verify that the meid is now cleared out...what i cant do is write the new/correct meid
also, the method/thread over there doesnt say anything about that three letter word that starts with an E

thanks again for all the help mike and klown and everyone!!!!
oay heres where im at now...currently connected to cdma and have verified MEID and the "E something something" have been changed correctly!!!!!!!!!
now the question is, do i just unplug the phone and try to make a call? Reboot the phone? Save it all to a file and load that at startup or something?
Or is this pretty much it?
I have a feeling the meid and e something something will zero out again as soon as i disconnect from the computer.
Also, i followed all the steps properly...and was never prompted to enter any MDN or MSID data...so that data has not been applied. Does it need to be??
edi wait wait....my DIAG TX for e something something reads all zeroes, while the DIAG RX is correct. The RX and TX are the same for the meid
okay the big moment has arrived...just restarted it waiting to boot...and i found out i needed to # my msl then change the mdn and msid. fingers crossed
errr im getting an error 16
alright i get an error 16 when i call out, i guess is from Sprint? I cant have them reset anything because my account has been inactive for like a year.
i can receive calls oddly...the phone lights up for a second then goes dark....but the phone sure does tell me that i missed a call
just tried texting to the phone, nothing yet. I thought i could use sms but maybe the evo only uses mms???
Not sure if it is the same on VM as it is on Boost, but to fix the error 16, just log in to your acct online and look for an option to update handsets. Simply swap out handsets then swap right back, that is the quickest way to fix error 16 with Boost, maybe it will work with VM?

error 16 isn't a really big deal, it means that you had both phones on at the same time. What you should do is take the battery out of your kyocera and never turn it on again.
I got error 16 as well the first time I flashed, I had the phone turned off but with the battery still in it and got the error.
Error 16 is easy to fix follow this forum post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1290906
Inside of that post will be a phone number to call to reach sprints "Error 16 Call Center" they'll ask you some questions about YOUR VIRGIN MOBILE INFORMATION, your account name, what kind of phone you have, yada yada yada. Just give them all your information, but only for your KYOCERA and VIRGIN account, don't mention that you flashed your phone or anything, just give them the info from your account and from your kyocera phone.
They'll get you working within, like, 20 seconds.
It's not like boost where you can fix it on the website.
Thanks for sharing your trial and error on this! I'm getting ready to try the same thing, except on a Samsung Galaxy SIII. I've got the Kyocera JAX that I'm pulling the information from but I would like to use the data functions as well (Assurance offers the Virgin Mobile unlimited everything for $30/mo, absolutely worth the money if it works). I rooted it first thing, then unlocked it and now I'm just trying to make sure I've got all of the info I need before I start making real changes on the Galaxy.
BTW - I've heard that Virgin does offer 4G data and I'd love to be able to access that since I won't be able to take advantage of the LTE capabilities of this really sweet piece of electronic indulgence. Any advice or information is gratefully accepted.
kyocera diag mode
get the msl from virgin. tell them you can reprogram your phone and if you cant your just thinking about changing to another carrier. if your a good customer they will give it up.
on the kyocera type ##3424# then enter your msl(spc) its 6 digits......
from there your phone will show usb/diag on off....
good luck trying to read it with anything. i tries a kona a coast and some other cheap phone and managed to get this far and connected etc but they will not read.
Good luck. if you figure something out let me know
