i guess you didn't check conent of CD included in box with your k-jam yet. on my CD i've found this document:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_using_i-mate_K-JAM_as_a_Bluetooth_Modem.pdf
this file is also available on www.clubimate.com support site after registration...

Anyone got the KJam / Mini S working over bluetooth with GPRS when connected to a Apple Powerbook?

Thanks,
Actually I followed the instructions of that doc but it still won't work. Maybe it's the stupid bluetooth stack of my toshiba laptop.
I can't see why activesync can't handle this right away. Oh, I can, it's an MS product.
Oh well. I'll keep trying

BTW, Have you killed AS?

i update my bt stack from toshiba web site and it works now.

What do you mean by killing activesync?

RE: Using Wizard as Bluetooth Modem for Apple Powerbook
adambern,
I finally managed to get my K-Jam working as a Bluetooth Modem over GPRS after quite a bit of searching! I can only verify that this will work in OS X 10.4.4 (latest version of Tiger), since I didn't seem to have the options available before I updated Tiger.
Firstly, you will need to download the Generic Mobile Phone Script available from Ross Barkman's excellent homepage: http://www.taniwha.org.uk/. I have attached it here, but you should really visit the site, if only to donate a pint to Ross for his excellent work!
You will also need to know the GPRS settings for your network. Again, Ross can sort you out on his site.
1. Put the Generic Mobile Phone script in the /Library/Modem Scripts folder on your Mac.
2. Open the Bluetooth Setup Assistant, and search for your Wizard.
3. Once found, allow your Mac to pair with your phone. The Mac should then come up with a couple of options. One of these options will be "Use your phone as a modem for your computer", or something along those lines. Tick this check box.
4. Your Mac will now ask for a load of settings. Make sure you enter the phone number as *99#, and enter your username and password as determined from your network.
5. Click OK, and close the Assistant.
6. Open Internet Connect in your Apllications folder.
7. Select Bluetooth, and click Dial.
8. Voila! Your phone should now be working as a modem!
If you have any problems, refer to the notes Ross gives with the scripts. I hope this is of assistance to those of us with a sensible choice in computers .

Many thanks Invisigoth... I'll give it a go later.
Great community spirit.

gosh, i still can't get it to work. i'm running xp though.
windows is trying to dial but then it doesn't work

You are a SAINT........
THANK YOU.
Worked first time for me and at last I have an internet connection from my phone with my Mac Powerbook..............
Again thank you.
Robin

Hallelujah, I finally got it to work.
I have one question though. It looks like that the 115 kbit bt com port speed is the bottle neck in this connection. Is there any way to raise that?
Thanks

Using my XDA2i as a modem to connect my laptop to internet

Hi
I want to use my XDA2i to connect my laptop to the net....
Any ideas how to achieve this, thinking bluetooth laptop to XDA then use GPRS on XDA to connect.
Thanks

Hi,
Look overhere ftp://xdaupload:[email protected]/USB_modem/ for modem driver & documentation.
Cheers, M

Hi
Thanks for the reply, however, I want to connect my laptop through bluetooth to my XDA and use the GPRS on my XDA to connect to the net.
I need to achieve this without using a USB connection, if I understand correctly the link you supplied tells me how to connect USB modem etc.
Maybe I'm completely misunderstanding. It's all so simple using a Nokia 6230i, plug and play virtually!! (until my company deactivated data calls:-()
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Set the Connection Type to Bluetooth in the Wireless Modem program, then push the start button & make the BT connection to your laptop. Hope it works this way or experiment a little with it pls. I use the USB connection & don't have BT on my PC, so can't try the settings myself.
Regards, M

As I assume that you're using Windows vom Micro$oft, just Pair the two devices (not using 'Wireless Modem').
It will automatically install a Bluetooth-Modem
David

Hi
What type of connection do I need, I can only find a network access connection to my laptop, thats all that is available.
I am using a HP laptop with XP home, its a new one so would imagine everything is in order.

seek and you shall find

Thanks for the replies people...
Although I have to admit I'm struggling still....given up on the bluetooth connection and reverted back to USB cable but still I can't connect.
Here's the steps I have used:
Unticked Active Sync allowing USB connections.
Restarted laptop, connected USB cable to XDA and selected Wireless Modem, used the drop down to select USB and selected Start.....
the documentation etlls me that my laptop will go into a plug and play routine of allowing me to install it as a modem but this does not happen.
And yes, I have admin rights on the laptop.
Do I have to do anything with connections/modems because I haven't.
Am I being thick? Not sure but it's driving me to distraction...

start the modem program on your XDA (Start-Programs) and conenct it, windows will ask for a driver. install the driver from ftp. then create a new modem connection in windows. here (in germany) the number windows must call is *99# (for GPRS/UMTS)

Thank you for your patience...
The XDA installed as stated using driver on FTP, great.
Run up IE, tools, options, connections and added a dial up connection called XDA USB Link.(com8)
Settings of which are:
user name2web
passwordassword
untick automatically detect settings
untick configuration script
untick proxy server
Not sure where I'm going wrong but when I dial it errors with...No dial tone detected.
To recap I am dialing with GPRS connected on XDA and the WModem program connected through USB started
Am I missing something?

Can anyone help??????
Please?????

Try running usbmodemdialer instead of DUN by IE, it's in the package on the ftp.
Cheers, M

Hi
OK, I am now using the HTC USB dialer but I'm receiving an error 734 code, which is a PPP issue.
To recap, I am starting Wmodem, connecting to laptop (GPRS off) using a USB cable. Starting HTC USB Modem with APN as Internet & modem as HTC USB modem.
On XDA I get a connection light, then send and receive lights flash before the lot dissapear. The laptop goes through Connecting/verifying/registering then Remote access error 734.
I'm nearly there...
Please excuse my ignorance on this subject :roll:
Thanks

Yeah seems like it again :--(

Hi
Ive done everything as suggested but I'm getting a 680 error, this I believe is a "no dial tone" error.
Please, where am I going wrong?
Thanks
Gary

Frankly I haven't got the slightest idea what's going wrong. It works like a charm with my magician & Windows XP Sp2.
M

Hm how could the line be busy? are you phoning the same time? (always when you try to connect? sorry silly question.)
Are you sure your provider give you GPRS Access? (i don't know any who don't )
did you a google search on this error?

Hi
Yes, I googled it and it appears to be "No dial tone" not line busy....I'm not in a call when attempting to connect.
I've tried every possible combination of settings......usernames and passwords etc....
There isn't any issues with my laptop and updates etc. I am sys admin by day!!! This is just beating the hell out of me. Incidentally my laptop is a HP pavillion zd8369ea, a new one!!! Alpine is running radio 1.04.
Yes, data calls are enabled on my SIM, I can connect perfectly to IE on XDA and mail etc.
Taken down all firewalls etc and nothing....
Help
Thanks
Gary

DUN
Is there a way to use DUN now that it's been disabled because of Internet Sharing?

New Tyten and Vista
Ok, I've been through the 3 ways to connec as a modem, I actually manged to connect ages ago with XP.
I now have a new Tyten, well new for the states but probably old in the rest of the world.
Anyway the New Tyten has a thing called Internet Sharing instead of wireless modem
None of the old settings are there anymore.
It also has a new way to connect via Blue Tooth Pan.
I've tried the Pan way but I had no luck, the connection seemed to work but I couldn't get on the internet.
I then tried USB, I couldn't get Vista to recognise the Tyten, even when I turned off the active synch, anybody got any ideas????

with Vista and WM6 internet sharing I think its easier than DUN. there is a whole how to in the help program on your hermesjust open the help app and search for internet sharing. just make sure your phone and laptop are connected via bluetooth and then open the internet sharing app and click connect make sure its set to bluetooth PAN. on my laptop I have a little bluetooth icon when its on so I right click that and then connect via persoanl network and then a little pop up pops up and I click on the connect bottun and it connects in about 15 seconds pretty easy! I know for USB you have to open the WMDC connection settings and uncheck allow usb connections.

Thanks
Cheers for that, I'll give it a go, although to be honest I've been trying it all afternoon..
I get the connection but no Internet connection..

Help Still needed
Ok, the plot thickens, I found drivers on the HTC Europe site to connect your Hermes to Vista.
I uninstalled all of the previous active synch hardware and also thre previous modem
When I plug the phone in it doesn't open the new downloads.
Any ideas, I'm running Windows 5.1, is there an official Windows 6 I can update to?

my phone was working fine but when I tried to set my wife's up to tether it wouldn't show new hardware found when plugged in and when I tried to manually install the driver the process bix just kinda stalled out and wouldn't go forward with the driver even though I had browsed to the right one.

Wireless modem

Hi All,
I'd like to use my Hermes as an USB modem for my laptop. I have checked the net and found some articles about it.
But, it says that I have to use wmodem application on my Hermes. At this moment I have a HTC 2.11 ROM on it (I have changed my T-Mobile hungarian, because it was a piece of ****), and I can't found this Wireless Modem application.
Can anyone help me to solve this USB modem issue?

Modem Driver and Manual D838Pro

Thank you very much.
But I need the PPC WModem application, because it is missing from my ROM installation, or maybe I'm so stupid to find this.

can someone post the procedure or software in english for wireless modem for hermes!
thnks

wmodem is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306041&highlight=WMODEM

This is how I do it.
I just connect it through internetsharing.
Disable Active Sync and see that you have a local network to your windows mobile. Just Start webbrowser.
Works great for me.

Hey!
I'm new to all these great programs, so could someone explain to me how to use the WModem, what I can do with it, and what it is for?
Thanks in advance!

Why bother when you can do it much easier with Internet Sharing. Just plug in the USB cable. Starting Internet Sharing and off you go.

Agree, using Internet Sharing is the best & easiest way to go!

o rly?

im using the wm6 rom for htc universal...
tried using the internet sharing as the wireless modem is a bit complicated,
everytime i try it, i turn off activesync and then is says the device is not recognised and nothing happens... im on 3 mobile if it helps...
my friend has a mda vario 3 and his works jus fine on t mobile... any help?

I used the internet sharing in my hermes, but seems there is just one problem that is really irritating. Everytime, after connecting, I have to soft reset the phone because the disconnect button will not respond. The only to disconnect is through the gprs/3g soft bubble icon near the signal strength. After that when I try to start the internet sharing again, it will just not work. Anyone have the same experience?

net on phone via pc

hi,
does anybody know if we can use internet from pc on the x1 via bluetooth...
i tried finding on google but in vain...can anybody help me regarding this...
ps: i am aware that we can use internet connection via usb cable...what i want to know is that can we use it via bluetooth...and whats the procedure...
thanks in advance...

so many views and no replies???

i really only think it will work the other way around. if you have 3g using the x1 as a bluetooth modem so you can get internet on your pc. unless you have a highspeed internet connection on your pc that isn't already wireless, in which case you can buy a usb wifi adapter for pretty cheap. i dunno if this was any help...

bleh. disregard most of that. i'm sleepy... i only read half. yes it is possible to use your phone as a bluetooth modem though

thanks dude...
the thing is that i hav a really fast pc connection and its cheap...whereas the phone internet service is costly...so i was just wondering if its possible...(net fron pc to phone via bluetooth)
thanks anyways...cheers

Actually there is a way.....
If you establish an bluetooth active-sync connection.
You should be able to surf the net via the bluetooth connection...
But it is still more efficient to go by wi-fi....
Stuart

awesome dude...ill check it rightaway..thanks

doesnt work...detects the serial port..but connection fails..

I know that with Palm OS PDA we used Mocha PPP, perhaps you can give it a try.
Else perhaps an adhoc connection if you want to try Wifi.

yes being connected to activesync with bluetooth give the phone the network access of the pc
been doing it since i had an old wm2003 device
or you can do this if you dont want to use activesync

Try initial the BT detection from yr PC (or the other way as I don't remember.). The "serial port" will be replaced w/ ActiceSync eventually.

It does work but it depends on your contract
The carrier company can tell if you are browsing through your phone or using internet sharing. I am on O2 and it does not have this, but if I put my T-Mobile sim card in, it works fine. PC's use higher bandwidth and this costs the mobile companies.
If you want to use it, I recommend using the USB lead as bluetooth and 3G connection will abuse your battery.
To use, press start, programs internet sharing. You can only use it if you have activesync on your pc, USB mode is activesync and your mobile provider lets you.
DAN

danjwalker
he want to do the opposite he want to surf using his computers internet not
letting his computer use his phone internet

so i was right the first time. all he needs is a usb wifi adapter.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Wi-Fi_USB_Connector
something kind of like that

and you won't even have to use bluetooth after you set it up. just turn on your wifi in the comm manager

This method may not work anymore since PAN client is being removed in recent WM release. You may need to try this to get PAN client working. I posted my working experience over there w/ my Att tilt. But this method require a lot more effort to get it working compare to activesync.

i thought the bluetooth internet sharing only works one way...?

if you go to internet sharing on the phone, you choose bluetooth pan and then a connection that your phone uses to connect to the internet. that's not what he wants. someone correct me if i'm wrong and there's another way to do this bc i'm really not sure.
