Has anyone had any luck with this.
I have instructs that basically say. Pair device. Let it auto discover the com port modem.
Create a dialup using *99#
Dial away.
Problem is it doesn't work. Can see modem etc however can't query the modem and dialup fails quite quickly.
Help
You need to provide more details as to what you did, step by step and also your GPRS service provider if someone has to help more.
I have tried HD with Internet over bluetooth with CDMA. But with GPRS over blutooth i suppose you need to edit the registry to dial the init strings as AT commands. May be someone who actually has done can help you more. Finally in my opinion it is a bit clumsier and also less reliable and more power hungry than using internet access(GPRS/EDGE/3G) from the SIM in the HD.
use the Internet Sharing program on your HD, works better than the dialup option. You'll need to first set up an activesync partnership before you're able to use it though. Good luck!

Hi All,
Thanks for all the good suggestions I've got from this site over the last couple of days. I have a new problem for you now...
I see from searching this site that loads of people have had problems using the XDA / XDA II as a wireless modem, but I can't piece together quite what I have to do to get it working with bluetooth.
I've got the pdf from the o2 site, but it's not very clear, and I think it's targeted to W2000 not XP, which is what I have.
SO..... Would somebody be kind enough to let us all know what the step-by step process is to get a laptop, for example, talking to the internet via the XDA II, via BLUETOOTH.
I have the latest o2 ROM, so I have those 2 new check boxes in Bluetooth settings. Most of the laptop setup is ok, but I think the major question is regarding the ports.....
Which port is the XDA talking on?
Which port is the laptop talking on?
How do I make them talk to each other?
And to add to this question - the o2 pdf presumably gives instructions such that we end up using the GPRS line. Can this be modified to use the cellular line to dial up a standard ISP so I can use up some of my free minutes (that's what I do when surfing on the XDA II)?
Sorry it's a bit waffly - PLEASE help! Thanks very much!

Oddly enough, a file called Using Xda II as a Modem.
Worked for me.
Oddly enough... that's the pdf I'm talking about.
It's not very clear about the COM ports - it says to select the "correct COM port for your connection", so the bit I'm asking about is how to decide upon or determine which is the correct com port for my connection. The important issue here is the bluetooth communication.
It's step-by-step modem and connection guide is also incorrect for XP (mine anyway - as I said, I suspect it's written for 2000, not 2000/XP), so there could be errors in my modem setup - I need to make sure that's not the case as well.
Any more ideas?
OK - let me put this another way - Before pressing connect on the WModem program on the XDA II, do you have to setup a bluetooth serial connection to the PC? If so, HOW? How do you simply make the connection?
Please help - somebody?
Thanks,
Phil
Just to make sure we are on the same document
http://www.myxda.com/html/HowToUse/XdaII/How to setup Wireless Modem for Bluetooth.htm
You first install your bluetooth adapter on your PC and this should install a bluetooth modem on your PC. You then configure that as described in the first section "Desktop setting:" make sure you change the word internet with your service providors APN in the advanced setting string.
Thats your PC side finished for now. no connections made yet.
Ok on to the XDA II, follow the instructions in the next section "Getting Start:" Steps 1 - 6 are all on your XDA II. Now it is waiting to be a modem. Move to your PC and follow the rest of the steps and you hsould get connected.
I used the O2 free WAP APN for my connections when i set it up. This meant having to set the proxy in IE just as you do on the XDA II if you want to browse. This gives limited function for anything other than browsing but for free thats fine for me.
I have not yet tested an ISP using this method but it will be a matter of removing the advanced string in the modem settings and using your ISP details and phone number in the dial pop up instead of *99#. I have done this before with my old nokia 7650.
Also remember if dialing into an ISP like that instead you will only get 9600 baud rate as opposed to the 42k odd that GPRS will give you. However this is fine for most light emails and IMs etc.
Oh and i did bond the 2 devices first. i nearly forgot that.
I Hope this helps you get sorted.
It works fine for GPRS. However when I try to connect to an ISP, I get a "line is busy" message. Any clues?
Dingo - you're great. That's got it.
The pdf that's on the user guide section of 'under the bonnet' section in the XDA site is
http://smsgen.o2-uktech.com/xda2/Xda_II_Modem_Setup_Guide.pdf
which is NAFF!
Your instructions are much better!
I'll try the ISP method soon - I'll let you know if it works.
Cheers!
Phil
OK - looks like I've got the ISP method working.
The process on the XDA is identical, but the modem settings are slightly different. The extra initialisation string can be done away with, and in the security tab of the connection (in network connections) "typical" must be selected rather than "advanced".
Other than that, it's all the sam, for me at least. I use UK2 as my ISP. It's very handy - no registration required.
Hope this helps.
Phil
ISP works for me too. I had to change in CSD line type the data rate to 9600 bps(v.32).
Being used to ADSL, 9600 bps brings back memories
Thanks to everyone who's contributed to this thread - it's helped me connect my laptop to the net thru my XDA2 over bluetooth for the first time!
I have a couple of questions that I hope someone might clear up for me:
1. I've used "mobile.o2.co.uk" in the init string and dialled with *99# which works but the XDA doesn't show any change to the connection icon. Is it using GPRS or data over voice or magic?!
2. Although web and mail downloads works great, I can't send email - I get it returned saying '550 relay not permitted'. A port issue I guess? Can that be solved?
Thanks for your time - keep up the good work.
Andy.

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:

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

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!

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?

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!
Kev.
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 everyone. Does anyone have a mokey's step be step guide to setting up my Touch HD as a modem with vodafone. Instructions for both the phone and my laptop running windows XP with a USB wire connection would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
Thanks but no info on my issue there, might seem a rather basic problem for this forum but this is causing me a real headache.
Cheers
I used to use my old HP 6300 as a dial-up modem a few times and when I moved to a Wizard and now a Kaiser I wanted the same ability. You need ModemLink in your ROM (or installed from a .cab file). You also need the HTC USB Modem drivers installed on your PC.
You need to activate ModemLink and then install the drivers onto your PC. You should then have a new COM port and attached to this a HTC USB Modem. You need to change the CSD Line Type to get it to call 'real' analogue lines because by default it is set to v.110, set it to v.32 or v.34.
I have ModemLink (& Internet Sharing) cooked into my ROM and have probably only used ModemLink a couple of times. It does work though.

I'm interested too.
I hate ICS because I can't remotely control my device.
Also, it's simple to get automatical internet connection if device is used as modem.
Nokia in this is really better imho.

Really? I'm sorry but I can't remember.
However I tried just yesterday ModemLink app but it can't work on my touch hd. When I start the app it doesn't anything. I tried also WirelessModem where I can choose to use USB interface but WXP can't recognize the device as a usb modem. I tried anything but with no results.
Please can you update me?
So do you really want to use it as a modem, or do you want internet sharing? You used the word "modem," but from your description, it sounds like you really want to share the internet connection of your phone with your computer. Or do you actually have an ISP or some other service that you want to call? There is no internet sharing app on the touch HD? Try ICS Control maybe?

Does it have wireless? If you use ICS control, and use the wireless to share the intenret, you can use active sync on the usb connection for remote control.
