Hi,
Ok after the breakthrough regarding the ROM updates for QTEK 1010 and it was first revealed here on xda-develpers.com we have some new options in the QTEK now one of them is the WM.
Did anyone manage to use the Wireless Modem via IRDA because its not working the first thing is that the computer is seeing the device on infrared but not as a modem and i dont have an *.inf file to indentify it. If anyone managed to use his QTEK or any XDA via infrared to connect his laptop to the internet using GPRS plz explain how.
thanks
to irda on win2k/xp
visit http://www.ircomm2k.de
Install software at own risk, but this exposes a permanent COM port using IrDA. Also nukes Wireless Link in the process.
Setup a manual modem, select the COM port from above, presto!
Ummm its a good idea but i am not sure if this will work on Windows XP... what do you think?
it does
it does, but as with all things apply with care
Tried it
I tried this a long time ago, IRCOMM2k works on XP but the problem is that i couldn't figure out how to setup a IR generic Modem working on that port.
Yes please, this is a good article,
I installed the ircomm2k on my XP, but how to configure the connection from my laptop to connect to the internet via my XDA PDA as an external modem?
to setup xda as a modem
1. Install Ircomm. note which com port is assigned as permanent.
2. Add new modem: standard 33600
3. Select com port from item 1 as the com port of choice
4. Edit modem profile in devices settings, in Extra Initialisation Commands add AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","apn name"
5. VERY IMPORTANT: set flow control to OFF
6. Set port speed to 115200 ONLY
Set up a Mobile Web net connection as per your operator
Select your above modem
Align xda with irda port; select start on Wmodem app
Double click Mobile Web connection.
Surf. It's OK but not as fast as a GPRS card.
OR you can wait for O2 to eventually post some instructions...
Thank you very much for your feedback
I did all what you asked me to do, but its not working it gave me an error message:
Error 692: There was a hardware failure in the modem (or other connecting device).
I replaced AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","apn name" BY AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","apn01" same as Im using in my PDA. Am I right?
Something I didn't understand in your reply:
(Set up a Mobile Web net connection), you mean a normal dial-up connection?
One more thing, what do you mean by (select start on Wmodem app)?
Do I have to do anything in my PDA before I connect from my laptop? or do I have to do anything in my PDA configuration or connections settings?
Please help me, I want to use the Gprs on my laptop, no need to pay for 2 services, one for the PDA and other for my laptop
Best regards, Ali Alsaffar [email protected]
"select start on Wmodem app" - this means go into the Wireless Modem application on the xda, select IrDA (if thats now you are connecting) and then tap the Start button.
When you've done that, go the the DUN connection on laptop and connect as you normally do.
Unfortunatly I dont have "Wireless Modem application" on my XDA from where I can get it?
I thought the command was:
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","apn name","",0,0
I don't know about the command but what Im sure about it is that wModem application is mandatory, so from where I can get it?

HI. I HAVE AN OLDISH LAPTOP RUNNING WIN ME. WILL IRCOMM2K WORK ON ME OR IS IT INTENDED (AS NAMED) FOR WIN 2K AND XP ONLY?

Subject: RE: wireless modem
Hi
The wireless modem will be available in the next ROM update from the xda team. I understand that this will be released in the next couple weeks - they are in the final stages of testing.
We will highlight the new ROM on our homepage with a link to the downloadable files.

Hmm... really good question. ME is an update to 98 as I recall, but a clunky upgrade.
Way to check: Setup a new modem. When it asks which COM port you wish to use, if you can select Virtual Infrared COM port then it should work fine.
Get the instructions at www.o2.co.uk/xda on Help and Support.
Anyone know what the T-Mobile USA network connections for using WModem are?
For UK O2 they are:
Primary DNS - 193.113.200.200
Alternate DNS - 193.113.200.201
User name - O2Web
Password - password
Has anyone used wmodem in the US with T-Mobile as a service provider?
Thanks,
JP
Qtek as wireless modem
I also have oldish ME Laptop computer. I did exactly as described on O2 support site. It does not work. The modem on laptop immediately disconnects saying it's not responding properly.
I have tried several cooked versions of the 4..00.16 Eng T-Moble and the 4.00.11 ENG WM2003 roms and niether one installs the WModem app. Any ideas why?
I have a T-Mobile version of the PPC, radio stack 6.24
WM with old laptop computer
It worked for me. I could connect my oldish ME notebook computer to internet over gprs using WM in xda. I used the extra string from o2 and just changed the access point name.
It goes as this:
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","apn"
It works, but the WM just stops responding the moment you disconnect the connection from PC. The PC waits and waits for the confirmation and then hangs up saying no reponse. But as long as you are connected it works very well.
Using GPRS/EDGE as a Modem to access internet with Desktop/ Notebook Computer
When I need to connect my Notebook to the internet, I always prefer Wifi or Broadband line. If no such medium to connect internet, I will use PDA and USB cable. First of all, you need a modem driver for Windows 2000/XP and a simple dial-up utility. Both files are available here: USB Modem. It is a zip file and has 2 files, (1) USBMDM.INF, (2) USBModem_Dialer.exe. Just download them and unpack to you Desktop/Notebook. Second, you must set the partnership to your Desktop/Notebook first before proceed following set up.
Go to program and run “Modem Link” and set the connection type. In this case, choose USB and APN and tap on the Activate button (In my example, APN is Peoples.net). The device has switched to the modem mode and is ready to connect.
Photo 1 -3
At the moment you connect the PDA to a desktop or notebook over USB cable, the computer will connect the PDA. Let the system work until you see the Photo 4, select third options as red arrow, click Next.
In the next dialogue Photo 5, you can see that the new device is called HTC USB Modem. Even though the system offers to do this for you, you'd better select the second option as red arrow to be able to select location of the driver manually.
In the next dialogue Photo 6, choose the folder where you have unpacked USBMDM.INF from there archive and click Next to continue. The system will be working and configuring for a while. If no problems occur, you have installed the modem successfully.
Go to your desktop/notebook, double click USBModem_Dialer.exe that is part of the zip file you had previously unpacked. (Photo 7) As you see the APN must same as PDA one. (In my example, APN is Peoples.net) Click Dial.
Done. You can surf internet with you desktop/notebook.
Important : The key of this setting is that the APN for PDA and Notebook/Desktop must be same. The name of APN which you can ask the services provider.
Please note that all photo is not mine but I tested on my 818pro & Wizard and Notebook and work fine
Great info! I use my qtek9100 and T-mobileGPRS every day for this purpose. Only thing that is different is that I use the standard Dailup Networking of XP. You don't need to specify a APN but you have to fill in a number to Dial: *99#
I tried the above on my O2 XDA Atom and it didnt work, first in the PDA I was unable to select th APN (the dropdown list was empty). second thing is on my laptop when i tried to select the USBMDM.INF the laptop rejected it as unfit for the hardware.
help.
Hi all.
I'm not able to enter the APN number in my Dopod 818 Pro too. Any ideas how?
this is what i did on my O2 mini:
i. Installed USB Modem dialer on my notebook.
ii. Before connecting the PDA: Disable allow USB and allow Network checkboxes on Microsoft ActiveSync Connection Setting.
iii. Go to Task Manager on the Notebook. Disable all WCExxx processes.
iv. Create Dialup Connection as you create for normal dial up phone connection: No username or password: Dial up no *99#
v. In your PDA, Open Wireless Modem: Click at Start.
vi. Connect your PDA to notebook using USB cable.
vii. Changed modem properties at dial up connection to HTC modem.
viii. Proceed with dial up.
so far it works for me...
pls help
the device already switched to modem mode and connect to decktop,
but the desktop cannot detect to 838pro.nothing detect new device.
and how to setting the partnership to your Desktop/Notebook first .
thankyou very much

hi,
u will not be able to change apn anyways.u can only see it.
1st u should setup to access gprs internet on your ppc. this u do by going to
start>settings>connections>add a new modem connection, under select modem, cellular line gprs, next, now enter access point name as given by ur gprs service provider [mine is airtelgprs.com, gprs provider being airtel bengalooru] ,next, username and password as given by ur gprs provider [mine is leave both blank] , finish.
now go to modem link in start, programs, u can see ur apn as u entered.
if u still cannot see, go to start,settings, connections, connections, advanced, select networks, under programs that connect to internet, select the name of gprs u entered in above steps.
now u can goback and see in modem link.
now without activating modem link, browse internet in ppc only to c if all is right with ur gprs. if sucessful, then close pocket ie, activate modem link, connect to desktop or laptop via usb cable, use usb modem dialer or create other connection with no. as *99#[which is better, since in usb modem dialer, u cannot save apn, have to retype everytime]
any problemo in setting up gprs connection in ppc , contact ur gprs provider for settings. make sure gprs works in ppc b4 u setup to work in desktop.
alternate methods to use wizard as modem would be to use bluetooth DUN, or try pdanet 1.7
I don't find any variations in speed in any methods, all r as gud or as bad.
after hard reset,i can connect to devicve.
when dial to connet to internet ,snow "remote access error 797"
pls help
thanks

My XDA Atom is detected as a 'Windows USB Modem' rather than 'HTC USB modem' and the driver in the zip is not compatible with my device. Can anyone place the link to the driver file for XDA atom into this topic?
Is there any posibility to connect using HSDPA?
Because the subject specifically mentioned GPRS/EDGE ...
Thanks
I was searching for this solution some hours now...
Great fix!
Great!
Thanx!
Suberly simple and works perfectly!
Regards

I have an AT&T/Cingular 8525
I'm still having trouble. I connect the USB cable (after selecting connect onthe Internet Sharing). When I go through the process and select the .inf file, my PC (running WinXP) says that the "file contains no info for the device". What's going on with that?
I've searched all over the net and downloaded the USBMDM.INF file from 100 different places (thinking they were just corrupt files) but to no avail.
Someone help, please!
did anyone figure out under which COM-port is hidden Hermes' internal GSM/UMTS modem? i've tried send AT commands to port range COM1-COM9, but no success..
something doesnt work correctly in wireless modem program. My pc doesnt recognize it like a i did with my universal or imate pocket pc
i want to use my gprs to connect to internet on my desktop pc..i dont have bluetooth or ir just usb cable and avtivesync installed...i used wireless modem application on my device and it gave some sort of com error..i searched a lot but couldnt find anything...immediate help is required
thx in advance
you need to open Wireless modem from programs menu,select usb and press start before connecting to the usb cable, after that it will detect your phone as a modem, then use the modem driver provided in your cd to install. after installing you need to create a dialup connection and dial *99#. you will get a complete tutorial with pictures from the docs folder in your imate jam cd. it is a pdf file.
Hi,
Where can I find a list of AT modem commands for the HTC Wizard (a.k.a. Qtek 9100) ?
I would like to retrieve the cellid. The command "AT+CREG" returns "ERROR". I have found a list for HTC Hermes on this website, but they don't seem to be compatible.
Many thanks,
Niko
AT commands are standard, should be the same in all devices.
Make sure you are registered to the GSM network before you run AT+CREG.
This sequence should work on wizard too:
Code:
AT+CFUN=1
AT+CPIN=1234 <---- replace 1234 with your SIM PIN code
AT+CREG=2
Thanks for your help !
I tried it, doesn't work.
When I send "AT (enter)" I get an "OK" back.
When "AT+CFUN=1 (enter)" I get an "ERROR" back.
This is my test setup:
- on my windows xp notebook I run a program http://www.ircomm2k.de/ which connects my infrared (irda) port to COM8
- using Hyperterminal I connect to COM8 to manually type AT commands
- on my mobile device XDA Wizard (Qtek 9100) I use the program "Modem link" to connect "IrCOMM" (the infrared port) to the modem
My mobile device is connected to the GSM network. I can even send AT commands to call a number, that works.
Thanks again,
Niko
same problem here with HTC kaiser on mac OSX Leopard.
Did anybody solve this??
