I spent a lot of time getting the 6800 to sync under linux. Finally, using synce, I have done it, all access to the phone.
Now I want to tether. I have noticed under wm6, the wmodem app is in \windows folder, but it will not start. I know you used to have to enable it via a ## code, but it wont work on the 6800.
So I either need to figure out how to get the wmodem app to work under wm6, so i can have the phone emulate a modem. Or, the second option being to possible use ndiswrapper to use it, since it does show up as a generic rndis device, and under my system as soon as i plug it in (with adv net. function tab checked under connections>usb to pc) it shows up as an ethernet device.
Please linux users jump in and lets figure this out!!
I'm not a big linux user, but this would be very good to know!
I know they tethered the iphone by setting up some sort of proxy on the phone then tethering via wifi,surely this could also be possible using windows mobile given the right app. Please dont tell me im the only linux user out there that cares!!
BTW.. the iphone runs a modified *NIX/BSD im jealous
EDIT: I have also been successful in use the program 'synce' to initiate an activesync connection with the pda. Doesnt pdanet tunnel through a connection like this?? surely there are some fancy iptables or route commands to accomplish this in linux.
USBModem
USBModem is supposed to be able to work with Linux.... There is a free trial to check out.. I'm planning on using it once the Asus Eee comes out..

usbmodem will only give you some dialup scripts which wm6 DOES NOT supoport over usb. I did however solve my problem. The svn version of synce's usb-rndis-lite is the holy grail.

Can you post the resources you used, or the steps you took, to accomplish this? I'd like to tackle that problem before getting into tethering.
I see the device in dmesg as an RNDIS device (not handled by the ipaq module), but then I can't get multisync or synce to do anything with it after that. All I need to do is save my contacts, and be able to transfer files. I'm going to be replacing my Mogul soon, and I'd like to be able to restore everything once I get the new one. But in my apartment, windows machines are a rare commodity.
Can you post a wlkthrough as I joined the site for practically this very reason. Thanks in advance

i'm going to guess you can follow this guide but use the svn steps for the driver

I have used logmein and remote desktop succesfully have created a vpn and connected but have not found a succesful way to read and write files on a remote computer or drive. I couldn't even see computers through the vpn but the host computer aknowledged the connection if anyone has any clue what direction i need to go to figure this out it would be very helpful.
thanks
two options;
1) Check your firewall
2) Check if you share your files correctly and that they are writable by other network users.
have you succesfully pulled this off and viewed the other computers on the network or the hosts drive and if so what program did you use to view the drives thanks for the quick response
This seems to be a problems for all I guess... no solution so far... =S

i feel like their has to be a program that will view network drives or browse them like network manager on your pc does i just hate how unadvanced total commander or any of the mappers out their are makes it harder for me to trouble shoot.
Hi to all,
I just found out (at least I haven't found any other post on that matter yet) something interesting a few days ago. It seems that WinMo does indeed have rudimentary network printing support built-in.
Here is what I did: I was actually playing around with the network folder function in GSFinder+ and had the idea to try and see whether it's possible to mount a network printer as a network folder. It did work perfectly well and I was able to mount the HP OfficeJet (which is connected to a WinXp-laptop there) at my place in Germany on the phone. It shows up just as a normal folder.
Now, the interesting thing is that when you drop files into that folder (i.e. navigating into the folder and copy-pasting a file in there), they will actually be printed! After the file is printed sucessfully, the WinMo device shows a message saying something like "WinCE network: printing job in \\B\S\ is finished (size of the file)". As was to be expected I've only been able to print plain text on the printer, no images or formatted files. Also, the printing process was extremely slow (it took a few minutes for a less than 1kB file to be printed).
I've been trying to reproduce the same effect at my Austrian flat (with a Kyocera laser printer) but without success (a printjob shows up in the printing queue on the computer to which the printer is connected but it's not printed).
For both tests, I had the printers connected to a WinXP machine and made them accessible over the wifi network. Is anyone of you guys able to reproduce that effect and explain why it actually works?
Best Regards,
Ben
There is software that allows you to print
Yup, I know (I've actually installed ActivePrint on my phone as well) but that's not my point.
I didn't request a printing solution but I pointed out the fact that it seems that Windows mobile has some kind of printing support on board - for the scientific interest if you wish to say so! I'd therefore like to hear from other users whether they are able to print text files that way.
Hey guys! Good looking forum here..
I have an old Ubuntu box that I would like to be able to "talk" to my HTC Touch Dual. Even if its getting access via a "Mass Storage Device" setting of some kind. The ability to transfer files would be a start.
Problem being that there seems to be know way of doing this! At least not without installing software on the phone... which requires a way of transfering the files themselves.
The reason I'm relying on this ubuntu box is as my windows laptop has damaged USB ports that won't allow me to connect any external devices at all. [Its a hardware fault with physical damage to the ports.]
I have heard about using SynCE - but I'm not sure if what I want to do is actually "sync'ing" as such; so whether this tool will work or not is another question all together!
I'm looking for the basic ability to move files - music, videos and photos etc. For testing purposes - then it would also be very desirable for a connection as I'd like to get the Android build up on it!
Cheers in advance!
try installing active sync via Wine
Access to your phone can be done via 'synce'
See http://www.synce.org/moin/SynceInstallation
With that software you can install cabs, access files, synce data etc
Hello Community,
By now, everyone knows Android has dropped support for USB Mass Storage access to its folder. Which means a Windows computer can no longer programmatically copy a file from Windows to a USB-connected Android device.
I have a Windows application that needs to be able to drop a text file from time to time onto an Android phone. I also have an Android app that monitors a certain folder on the device and processes those text files as they come in. In the past, all I had to do on the Windows side was to map a drive pointing to the Android device and my Windows app would then be able to copy the files to that drive. But that doesn't work anymore with more recent versions of Android.
The phone and the computer may be located in an environment where no wifi is available or where both devices are not on the same wifi network. The computer may also not have bluetooth capabilities. In other words, the only thing I can count on with certainty is the USB connexion between the phone and the computer.
I could use a batch file calling ADB, but since different phones may have different ADB drivers, it means I can't provide a generic way for my Windows App to transfer a file to any Android phone. And I have no control over which phone gets connected to which computer. In addition, I can't use a GUI based application to transfer the files: my Windows application needs to run unattended, without having to wait for user action. The same is true of the Android application.
I know there are a number of WebDav/FTP/Bluetooth applications I can install on the Android device so that it can expose a folder to outside computers, but they all rely on over the air connectivity. I tried to find information on writing my own Android Server application that would "publish" a folder to the PC to which the phone is connected via USB, but I can't find anything of use in the Android SDK documentation; the USB stuff all pertains to IoT, not to the actual link that gets established between a PC and a phone. I think what I need to do is to write an app that turns the device into some kind of Samba server that's accessible through the USB connecion, but I have no idea where to start looking for documentation on doing it.
Does anyone have any pointers on how to accomplish this?
PS: please don't start asking questions like "Why do you need to drop a file onto the phone", or "Why don't you just make sure Wifi or bluetooth is always available?". I already explained those restrictions and they are there for very good reasons. So thanks for staying on topic.
Hi,
I am also under the same question of "how to transfer a file from PC to Android Device". The only difference is, I have a GUI which prepare data to be transferred. The user can say "proceed" to copy.
Have found any solution for the above question raised ??
