Hi all,
First of all, sorry if this question has already been answered before, but I couldn't find it anywhere on the forums using the search function.
I have a Qtek S200 with windows mobile 5 running on it. It works like a charm but I have problems connecting to most WiFi networks. Most routers use WPA2[AES], which my S200 does not support currently. Also, when I put my own router at home to use both WPA[TKIP] as well as WPA2[AES], then connect my S200 using WPA[TKIP] does not work (it hangs on 'Connecting...' forever).
So what I was wondering, is it at all possible to make my Qtek use WPA2 with AES? I know AES is usually done through hardware support, but surely this can be through software too right? Would upgrading to windows mobile 6 (using a rom) suffice?
Regards

Hi and HEEEELLLLPPPPPP!!!!
Has anyone managed to connect the Mda Compact to a G4 Powerbook via bluetooth to access the internet on GPRS account??
I cant get the Apple to create a bluetooth dial up connection with the mda.....
Will a change in stack be useful eg bluesoleil / toshiba???
Are there any modem scripts for the mac??
Has anyone achieved this via PocketMac??
I am trying to connect a G4 Powerbook with Tiger to a unlocked UK T-Mobile MDA Compact runnung Qtec 1.12 English rom with big storage hack on UK Orange.
:shock:
sorry always wanted to use one of those emoticons.... :wink:
Any help would be greatly appreciated.....
Riz,
Have been trying the same with both QTEK 2020 (forgot HTC name) and S100 (Magician) both on panther & tiger. Haven't gotten past the Bluetooth issue. In terms of GPRS scripts http://www.taniwha.org.uk/ has some, but not for our favourite devices. Am desparate to get same sorted. Do believe HTC's Bluetooth implementation ha something to do with it. remember on my 2020, I did run a Bluetooth utility to increase BT functionality, but to no avail....
Sorry not to have been of more help

Welcome Mr. Apple ;-) I am also running on "the only real system". We have to wait for http://www.markspace.com/missingsync_windowsmobile.html Will not take longer than 2-3 month any more.
Thankyou guys for your responses desperate (sometimes girlie like) cry for help. In my quest I have found that there are many like us stuck in the void between ppc and osx.
I even tried creating a connection using virtual pc !! Desperate times etc .....I can’t wait to try this Missing Sync ..sounds too good to be real so I have Emailed the company with our queries.
Have any of you guys tried it yet ???
Thanks again
sorry should read "to my "desperate girlie like etc
will poof read next time

Actually the mark/space site says The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile will be available before the end of June, not 2 or 3 months.
So any day now.
BUT, I have read in another thread here that both mark/space and pocketmac programs promise a whole lot more than they actually deliver, and are buggy.
Are there no other alternatives?
i think that the panther version is available now for the MDA Qtec s100 etc and the tiger version will be in the form of a free update??
it will retail for 39.99usd...could be a costly experiment??
has anyone tried any of these products in the past???
please could you point out the thread where you saw the negative reports on pocketmac and missing sync
thanks
Yes, long time ago I used Missing Sync for Palm Clié. It was stable, simple and great. Im quite sure, the new version for my MDAc will be similar. Thats the reason why I already deleted PocketMAC from my Powerbook and don't sync anything till MarkSpace software is available.
If you have an old version from Missing Sync, equal if Palm, PPC or whatever, you can updrade for just 19 $
By the way, not very actual, but helpfull:http://www.markspace.com/support/remove_pocketmac.html But you also have to check everything manually and yourself, cause with Tiger there are new and more files less.
Hi Mr Macmax,
My knowledge of palm based systems is not to good. Please could you tell me ......
Did you sucsessfuly use the missing sync to connect the clie via bluetooth to your powerbook?
Did the clie allow you to use it as a modem to connect the powerbook to the net??
This is what i want to achieve with my MDAc and powerbook via a bluetooth connection. I am hoping to use the MDAc as a bluetooth GPRS modem for my powerbook.
I was wondering if the missing sync program would bridge that particular gap??
Thanks
Hi riz,
well it is a very long time ago I used Missing Sync for Palm, so I can't really remember what was possible and what not.
But it's important to know that we have 2 possebilities to sync our Baby on a MAC: MissingSync or PocketMAC. Last one is a, sorry, pain in the ass, so rests MissingSync.
If it will work like you described, well, als them. But I'm quiete sure it will work cause it already worked with PocketMAC. Otherwise it can be a problem regarding to the right phone driver. May have a look here for modem scripts: http://www.taniwha.org.uk/
Thanks for your advise Mr Macmax but i have already been down the script path trying generic and ipaq scripts in the hope to fool the G4...but its just too smart...
I am tempted to buy the panther version of missing sync that is available now.... i think?? set up panther on the powerbook and give it a go??
still....could be a costly experiment
BLUETOOTH TO BLUETOOTH.....WHATS THE BIG DEAL!!!! ....one of the teeth needs a filling!! is there a doctor in the house!!!!!
sorry....this is really starting to bug me.... :twisted:
hello again ....
Has anyone managed to create a Gprs connection with the MDAc and Mac via a SD Wifi card so the phone modem is used to connect the Mac to the net?
Also.....
Anyone have experience with GSG script creater ?? Could it be used to make a bluetooth Gprs script for the MDAc so the Mac recognizes the bluetooth modem???
http://www.macronsoft.com/pages/en/gsg.html
anyone ??
Did you use an AT String. This is neccessary for windows. Look for the AT String needed for your provider and paste it into the properties of your bluetooth modem. At least, this is the way it works with windows.
I have managed to get it working with XP. I am trying to get it working with a Mac G4 Powerbook
..thanks for trying though....
The thing is, it shouldn't depend on the Os. The SSA service is standardized, your stack will be the same as for windows I guess (Widcomm, isn't it?). The only thing you need to set is the AT string, the rest should be done by the profile itself (i.e. giving you a dialog where to enter the connection settings).
The problem is that the i can not get the Mac to recognise the MDAc as a modem... so i fall at hurdle one..
..and i am not to sure where i would enter the init string ??
The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile is out now . but . i emailed them with this issue and they kindly informed me that this software will not allow the mdac to be used as a bluetooth gprs modem.
its been a while but has anyone cracked this little nut yet ?
ross from
www.taniwha.org.uk/
has been trying to help me on this but my knowledge of the mac is far from expert
is there any way to connect the two devices ie usb , wifi etc ?
as far as the g 4 is concerned the jam is modemless ?

Hi, I just bought a MDA Vario and downloaded the software to sim-unlock it. I've been using it on Vodafone for a few days and have some problems:
Wi-Fi:
I can turn wireless on, but when I then go to IE to start surfing, it tries to connect using GPRS instead of Wi-Fi. How do I get it to use Wi-Fi instead?
Bluetooth:
I can Sync my device to my PC using Active Sync 4.1 over USB, but when trying to do this over bluetooth, I keep getting told that the device can't find a an existing Bluetooth partnership, even though I've set one up (several times)! What could I be doing wrong?
ROMS:
I've got the T-Mobile ROM on my phone, but I'd rather have a standard (non-network specific) ROM. Where can I download such a ROM? Would ther ebe any issues in overwriting the T-Mobile ROM with a Standard one? Which ROM is the "best"?

Nirbho

If WiFi is on and connected successfully to the network, it should use WiFi. I sometimes find if I wander about, and the phone loses site of my Access Point without me noticing, the next time I request a webpage it will fire up GPRS. You say you're connected, but it sounds like the Vario doesn't think so. Are you sure you've got WEP/WPA keys correct, and that the Wireless AP isn't using MAC filtering? Have you been able to get onto the net with IE at all, or has it always tried to get out over GPRS instead?

When you pair the Vario with the PC, both ends will offer a list of Bluetooth profiles they support. When I tried with my laptop and a 3com BT dongle, despite it working fine with my old iPAQ, the Wizard didn't seem to think that the laptop offered the ActiveSync service (or maybe the laptop didn't think the phone did, I can't remember for sure). You need to make sure that the Vario (if that's the "device" that's complaining) believes the PC is offering ActiveSync as a Bluetooth service, or it will assume it's only paired with other phones, GPS's, headsets etc, but nothing with which it could activesync.

The ftp site here hosts a load of ROM's. I don't know of any that are noticeably better all around than any others. I have a Qtek phone, and although the later ROM fixes the BT voice-dial wake-up problem it also breaks, MMS and some bits of WiFi for some people. Others have installed the WWE version of a ROM and found that the keyboard doesn't match their hardware layout and some keys are wrong. They've then gone and broken button mappings trying to fix the keyboard problem. I know T-Mobile are the least subtle in their customisation, and many people seem to want to get rid of the pink look. I don't believe there is a clear winner in the ROM stakes. I've seen a few sigs that suggest people are starting to cook their own ROM with the GSM stack from one, the WiFi from another or whatever combination suits them. If you're up for doing the same, be my guest, but you may, unless you're experienced, find yourself worse off than you are now.
Have a look over in the "upgrading" forum and see what people seem to be using there. Be aware though, a lot of the "old timers" will be using I-Mate or Qtek devices which hit the streets before the O2 and T-Mobile variants, so they have had less device specific customisation done and were probabaly running a generic WWE (or localised) version anyway.
Hope that helps?

Hi All,
Currently using a iMate pda2k (Blue Angel) with the first-released Helmi Windows Mobile 6 Professional ROM installed. I've really got two problems, but one that is annoying me more, and that is that I can't connect to my home wireless network because I have got WPA2-Personal security enabled. I found on another forum post that I need to update the AKU, but i'm pretty sure I did that when I first installed the ROM. My other problem is that I can't turn the GSM radio off (phone). But i'm more in need for a solution to the WPA2 problem. Should I upgrade to a newer ROM, because i'm thinking of updating to Windows Mobile 6.1 or is there another solution (please no 'go back to Windows Mobile 2003!).
Thanks in Advance,
Timbo.

The BA WLAN driver does not support WPA2, some users report that they ca connect to WPA2 protected networks but these cases are rare
You may try a combination of WPA/WPA2 with TKIP encription (not AES) if the router will let you. I just returned a new Belkin N router back just because my BA wont connect to the wifi, even with WPA/WPA2 mixed mode.
Hello,
If it helps you, I have a Zyxel HW660-D1 and using wpa/tkip I can connect with my BA, but only with xplode WM6.1 roms and helmi old rom (that with wifidriver v2), with other WM6.1 roms (Dvha79_ddt or Hoangdat_vista from PDAViet) I can't connect to my wireless.
Our beloved BA isn't compatible with WPA2 - AES encryption, I think it's because of wireless chipset limitation.
PDA2K WM6 Professional issues
I am badly in need of help guys out there !!! Please get off this hook !!!
I have exactly the same problem you are having, I have been trying to work on all these issues for about 4 days until now. I can not get connected to my home wireless lan neither do I can restore my phone contacts. I even tried to go for an upgrade to another WM which is 6.1 and 6.5, but with no use cause every time I try to upgrade my PDA2K device disconnects and nothing happens except for "error 101 connection" that keeps appearing everytime I try to upgrade.
Help me out guys pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez
I am not sure how many times i have said this, BA + WPA2 = No GO, use WPA-PSK TKIP instead BA does not support WPA2, there are very rare situations that the access point can connect it in compatiblity mode like WPA, but it depends on the model ot the AP, Router, Modem or whatever device you use

I think you are mixing 3 problems here which should be addressed separately.
Posible Solutions:
#1:Read Xplodes post right after yours
#2:Clarify if you can or can not. "If Cannot" Restoring contacts saved on your phone requires the use of Active Sync. It also requires MS Outlook on your PC. You can sync via USB or Via Blue Tooth. Does your phone sync with your pc?
#3:Error 101 during flashing of new ROM = you have not connected your phone to the PC or its not in Serial Mode. You must follow step by step procedures on BlueAngel Wiki.
error 101 is present when the device is not in bootloader mode prior to upgrade, with wm2003 this was possible because thre was command to put the device in bootloader mode trough activesync, but in newer os it does not work
Hi there,
i've no idea to get this app anywhere "cheaper" !?
Can anybody help me!?

didnt some problems occure on the diamond with antha vpn?
I once tried it and it blocked my active sync connection and made my wifi connection disappear.
Did they solve those problems already?
AnthaVPN not working on Omnia
Hi,
Just tried to use it on Omnia and didnt work. After soft reset the wifi adapter is there, the new "Antha VPN" adapter is there BUT wifi is no longer present...you cannot access it at all, the "wireless" tag is gone from wifi settings (only adapters tag is there) and wifi does not appear on any comunication manager....
I suppose that after installing that adapter something is bad pointed on the registry so WM cannot access fifi anymore...
Hi,
Three days ago I updated my Elfin for Windows 6.5 (with a ROM cooked for Elfin) and since I have an awkward problem that I couldn't resolve after reading many posts...
I can connect on WIFI without any problems but then only IE can access to the web... Whatever over programm say me that the connection doesn't exist.
Does anyone know how to solve this ???
Or have some tip....
Thank you very much
I suggest you ask this question in your cooked rom's thread.
Thanks for the suggestion
but I found out why I couldn't connect with Wifi. It was because of the proxy indicated in the registry for Wifi connection. Since I removed it its working great
Still I don't understand why IE was able to connect ??? That's not too important since the connection is now working.
