My project for this morning was to get my month-old XDA2 working as a wireless modem for my laptop with irDA. "How hard can it be?" I thought.
Well...
Needless to say, there are no instructions (yet) on the O2 UK website, so I've hunted around.
I've found these links:
http://bugjr.com/jon/gprs.html for general guidelines
A link from this page giving similar instructions
This hidden PDF from O2 UK for the XDA, also confirming similar instructions
Everything seems to be going OK. My laptop knows the XDA2 is there and can query the modem just fine. When I try to connect, though, the dial-up connection process starts, then ends a second later with a dialog saying:
"Error 692: There was a hardware failure in the modem (or other connecting device)"
I'm sure this isn't a hardware problem. Can anyone point me to the solution for this?
My connection is dialling number *99#
My modem init command string is AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","MOBILE.O2.CO.UK" (and I've tried AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","MOBILE.O2.CO.UK","",0,0 too)
User name is O2Web and password is password, as required in the O2 PDF link above.
TIA
Anyone?
Obviously my topic title isn't pushing anyone's buttons around here...
[Note to self: make sure next title mentions Paris Hilton :wink: ]
It seems that I found the same info as you, but I can't get it working either.
I have had the same error as you, and also one that says the port is in use. In the end I gave up
I have since moved to the widcomm stack, as it was painfull to sync with the MS one and more than one PC.
The new stack has dialup networking in it, but though I can connect to it, it doesn't seem to go anywhere. I am also not sure about the wmodem app on the XDA. It seems to talk directly to RIL1. I don't know but it seems to use AT comands talking to RIL1... There should be some way to link this up with the BT stack?
So I can't get it working either way....
If anyone has any info, then that would be great.
I know this post is old but i had that problem and after searching a lot, finally i solved it by myself.
go to device manager, modems, on your modem or mobile modem right click and click properties. now go to "advanced" tab now that field of extra initialization commands must be clear, if not, clear it.
now you can connect without "error 692"
Hello:
I am using the "Wireless Modem" to connect my laptop to the web via GPRS on my PDA2k. When I use the connection via USB (cable between laptop and PDA2k), it works perfectly. When I do it via Bluetooth, I get the error message "Error 734: The PPP link control protocol has been terminated" right after it tries to register the computer on the network. It seems to recognize the username and password fine, but then it shows the error message and drops the connection.
Any clues as to why this is happening? I have the exact same settings in both the USB and BT dialup connections. I'd like to be able to use BT because it is one less cable to carry around.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

bluetooth modem connection problem
Hi, i read in other forum about this problem, is it setting problem or XdaII problem?
I plan to get one mainly for this purpose, if it is a problem then i have to get something else.
any one please help to clearify.
thanks
AlexT:
I did this OK with my old MDAII, so I think this is not a Himalaya (MDA2, XDAII) problem, but rather a Blueangel (MDA3, PDA2k) problem.

I had this problem recently while abroard.
Even though it "dials" the default GPRS connection you need to manually enter the correct APN name in WirelessModem->tools->settings. It defaults to the APN of the first GPRS account entered rather than the one currently active.
Hope this helps.
Do you know which ROM your version of wmodem came with? (wmodem is installed with the OS ROM not the Ext ROM, right?) Looking at mine, which I think is from i-mate, there is no tools menu in the wmodem applet, and therefore, no place to set/check the APN...
hey anyone has the JAM driver for the wireless modem? If yes can someone please post it here or attach it on this thread. I really need it in an emergency as I am away from my home and don't have the CD with me for the time being. Please please please can someone send me the file
thanks in advance

I figured my question out. It is included in the ExtRom. The version included in OEM_TMO_NL_IssueFix_142115.sa.CAB in T-Mobile_MDAIII_Ext_Rom_142115_WWE.rar has the Tools menu.
ysatti, there are a few versions floating around. Try this modem driver:
ftp://xda:[email protected]ers.com/Uploads/USB_modem
or this one:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Blueangel/O2_UK_Xda_IIs_Upgrade_v140242.exe/
If those don't work, try the attached CDMA version, even though you have a GSM phone. (Remeber you have to be logged in to see attachments)
hello, did anybody found out the solution? I had exc the same problem with my xda mini now. But couple months ago I canuse the bt wireless modem without any problem. I don't know what's up, I did not make any change on setting and installed new progame this period. Last the bt is worked, I can send and received files between the pc and mini.

Hi!
Did you add in modem properties initialisation string?
For me: AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","www.umc.ua". I didnt use modem dialer, only usbmdm driver. Connection set up manualy. Sorry my little English ).

That's work for me. After add the APN, now I can use bt wireless modem.
Thanks
bartman,
Glad it helped.
Dasert75's solution should work as well, and for people without the "tools menu" because it does the same thing.
Seems silly that it uses the default GPRS account but does not get the APN from the settings for that account though.
com open error (8)
i installed wm2005
but when i try to activate the witreless modem on my device on usb connection it says
com open error (8)
any one has any idea ?
I was testing out the 10.4.9 Update that Apple released yesterday on my Macbook and noticed that a "Join Network on..." option now appears in the Bluetooth dropdown menu. Having already confirmed that the MissingSync trick works with USB I decided to try BT. I had to delete the pairing of my 8252 running the unreleased Cingular ROM b/c of some other issues that I created when trying to set up COM ports -- not sure if others will have to do this to get the Mac to see the phone as a PAN-able device. As soon as I added the phone is added to the Pairing List there is a message that "Personal Area Networking" service is enabled.
So, I went into the Internet Sharing app on the 8525, set the Mode to Bluetooth PAN, hit "Connect", and then used the Mac BT menu selection for "Join Network on <<device name>>". A few seconds later I had a 192.168.0.x IP and I confirmed connectivity with a speakeasy speedtest of 396/312. FWIW, the connection was made via the MediaNet connection (called Cingular GPRS on my phone) and I will be testing with a connection type that uses isp.cingular.com as the connection server at some point tonight.
Although the speed is not the best, I am quite glad to see that I have another connection option available in case of emergency.
I can confirm this works! Speed was 300/275 via BT PAN, then I plugged the USB cable in and got speeds of 905/318 (Speakeasy speed test). I'm in Sacramento (HSDPA) via the MediaNet wap.cingular APN. Looks like the BT 2.0 craps out at 300kbps.
My steps (I had a few extra to add to yours)
-I unpaired the devices on both the phone AND the MacBook
-Paired the devices FROM THE MACBOOK (Laptop sees that PAN is available)
-Unpaired the laptop ON THE PHONE side
-Paired the devices FROM THE PHONE (Connect via Bluetooth in the ActiveSync program)
I had to do the last two steps because when I paired from the laptop, the phone did not pick up the ActiveSync service, and so Missing Sync wouldn't sync via BT. Pairing from the phone side through the ActiveSync program fixed that up, and the laptop didn't need to make any changes so the PAN was still there.
Maybe if you pair from the phone first, you can avoid the last two steps? I'm not going to risk breaking my working setup to test it though. ;-)
Syncs via BT, and does PAN via BT now! Good thing you had to re-pair the devices =)
What Macbook are you using this on?
I can't seem to find the option on mine. (Core1 Macbook)
I'm trying the combo update in case something got missed in the diff update.
I'm using a 1st gen MacBook and cannot get Bluetooth PAN to work. Maybe for some reason this is only supported on the new 2nd gen MacBooks?
--Andrew
I don't think there's a difference in the bluetooth between the CDuo and C2D. (The wifi chip is different, but I think the bluetooth chip should be the same)
I do have a C2D though. All I can suggest is to unpair the devices from each other and try starting the pairing from the laptop again :-\
For reference, I used the diff updater (not the combo).
I've now tried this from both a C2D iMac and a CD MacBook - same result: no Bluetooth PAN. Perhaps something is messed up on my 8525, although the services listed for the device in Bluetooth preferences on the Macs list "Personal Ad-hoc Network" as one of the services. I just can't get my Macs to connect.
As to the update method, I've tried installing the combo updater on the MacBook to see if that made any differences (after initially downloading the update through Software Update) and haven't seen any difference.
--Andrew
Alright, so I am a complete newb...
Ive gotten a WM6 firmware on the 8525 now, and the 10.4.9 update on my mac.
What is AKU 3.3? I found the directions for installing it, but it seems to talk about some distribution of WM5?
So... onto my stupid questions: What does AKU stand for, how is it differnet from the OS, and where do I find version 3.3 of whatever AKU is.
According to the thread on installing AKU, the LVWM WM6 flash that I am using has AKU 0.0.
Sorry for the newbieness
just installed the update and re-paired the devices- it works great, even with my old g4 12" alu powerbook. thanks for posting this!
Is there any program that can make the PocketPC as a Access point, so we don't need the USB cable or Bluetooth PAN. Just a plain Access point from 3G?

OK.. in an answer to my own question, AKU 3.3 seems to be some part of a WM5 ROM.
There are some images in the wiki that have AKU 3.3, and thusly work with in a PAN with my Macbook (yay!).
Is there anyone who got this working with any WM6 image?
I'm thinking you still need missing sync to accomplish this trick...because I'm not seeing the "Join network on..." option pop up and my C2D 15" MBP. Oh well...I sure was hoping that this would work...but I guess not.
Missing Sync not the answer
I have Missing Sync installed, and it doesn't allow me to use Bluetooth PAN. It may be a WM6 thing (I have WM6 installed), even though the Bluetooth PAN works fine from Boot Camp.
--Andrew
I have it working, but I am on WM5. cmascatello, are you also on WM5?

This is definitely not true. It is an Apple provided service. You have to enable internet sharing on the mobile before you try to pair it to the Mac, otherwise the Mac won't see the service.

8525, WM5 Cingular pre-release ROM. My Macbook is a 2.0GHZ Black Core Duo with 2GB RAM and the Mac Pro 802.11n card installed (not that it matters). Also, FWIW, I do not have Internet Sharing enabled on the Mac -- you do have to connect from the phone Internet Sharing app. However, PAN option in the BT menu drop-down is always present now on my machine.
I am using a Dopod CHT9000 with the HTC WWE test ROM. MacBook Pro 17" C2D. The "Join network on <devicename>" option is also always in the BT menu on my Mac.
I just tested it out again, and the option to "Join network on <devicename>" in the Mac's bluetooth menu was grayed out. A reboot of OS X solved that and I was able to use bluetooth PAN again. If you can't get it to work, you may want to try rebooting.
Things to remember
-Re-pair devices to ensure that OS X 10.4.9 saw that PAN was available
-Be sure to use the "Internet Sharing" app (Start Menu->Programs) on the phone set to Bluetooth PAN
-Reboot OS X (Maybe soft reset the phone?)
I do not have Missing Sync and it is working.
The key is the ROM. I tried about 10 different ones before I found one that works. The latest Cingular test ROM from the wiki works...
Download link from the wiki...
Here is my data from Bluetooth->Prefrences
Device Name: PhonePOD
Device Address: xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx
Device Type: Computer
Device Services: Service Discovery, A2DP, Voice Gateway, Voice Gateway, Network Access Point, Audio Video Remote Control Profile
"Network access point" is what you need. "Adhoc Personal Networking" is not good enough it seems.
Maybe that's it...I'm using the WM6 Black Edition V1.1 and I'm lovin it...except for the stress of trying to get this thing working! Maybe it's just not compatible Maybe the new 1.2 jasjamming says is coming tomorrow will help out!
I definitely do NOT have it on my Macbook. I DID reboot it.
The weird thing is that the Mac will show you (in the overview of BT devices) the services a device offers, and it DOES list PAN as an service offered by the Tytn. However, when I then click on "Configure device" the ONLY service that it actually offers (box to check) is "use this device as a headset".
I am stumped.

Open System Preferences > Network and see if it offers you a new network port. Be sure to enable sharing on the device too.
when i end a call on my bluetooth headset the phone comes back on, is there a way to stop it from coming on. also does anyone know where i can find a good app for remote desktop OVER 3G. thanks
do a search youll find the WM6 rdp client i would find a link but im a bit busy right now
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298594&highlight=windows+vista+on+athena
i have download it and tried it but it does not let me enter in a port number, and i have more than 1 computer on my home network. the error message i get is "cannot connect. likely reasons are: 1.specified computer name or ip does not exitst. 2.a network error occurred while establishing the connection.
so i am not really sure what to do next. i tried a vnc client but i can make the screen small enough
thanks in advance
I have an AT&T Tilt running Laurentius26's L26KDV12 (Windows Mobile 6.1) and I would like to use the device as a USB modem - NOT for internet connectivity but to connect to remote monitoring devices around the state that have modem's installed in them (for example, from my desktop I have an external 56K modem connected to COM3 - I have several HyperTerminal profiles setup with phone numbers, baud rate, etc.. that I open and my modem "calls" these remote monitoring stations"). I would like to be able to use my laptop and the Tilt (Kaiser) as the modem so I can call into these pieces of equipment while I am traveling.
Any advice - or search tags would be appreciated. I have already searched the forums and did a general Google search but all results turn up how to use the phone as a Internet Connection device - this is NOT to connect to the internet...
Thank you!
Have a search for 'usb_modem.zip' and 'MODEMLINK'. The usb_modem.zip is a driver file for Windows and allows your PC to use your Windows Mobile device as a modem. You also need the MODEMLINK installed on your device which you activate like you do with Internet Sharing. I have MODEMLINK cooked into my ROM and unfortunately don't have a .CAB for it, however I think there is one. It only consists of three files, a shortcut and some registry settings.
I have tested it sucessfully with some dial-up ISPs and it worked fine. When I was initially testing it though I attempted to phone my home line to verify it was dialing out OK and this didn't work. Since it isn't something I use often I haven't pursued this but I think it might have something to do with the 'CSD Line Type' setting in Settings/Connections.
thanks for the information. I did find and download the wmodem software for the phone but when I activate it I get an error message about not being able to access a com port, the cell signal goes dead and I have to reset the phone.
If you have a different version that what I found (5.1.2600.2180) let me know - that may be the difference...
thanks!

When I launch Modem Link I select 'USB' as the connection, Baud Rate is 'Unused' and Access point name is set to the GPRS APN I have configured (however this is unused I think?). I then hit 'Activate' and ActiveSync disconnects and the 'HTC USB Modem' is then connected to COM4. I can query the modem from the Control Panel applet on my PC like any other modem. I can also open HyperTerminal direct to COM4 and enter 'AT' commands. I just tried dialing my home phone again and this didn't work, however dialing an ISP did.
