I am trying to dial up to Cingular (in the US) GPRS using my Blue Angel. It actually works very well using the ol' *99# method, but that's only when the phone is already disconnected from GPRS. Is there a command I can send to the phone to make it disconnect from its GPRS connection. The error Windows gives is "phone line busy," which makes complete sense.
as you are able to link the pda with the phone? through the BT
Thank you
This is with a laptop. Everything works as it would on another phone, except for one thing. It will say the modem is busy if the XDA is already connected to GPRS.

Hi everybody,
when I try to connect my laptop to the internet using my SX66 and bluetooth, one of the following happens:
1) If gprs is already connected on the SX66, my laptop comes back and says 'phone is busy'.
2) If gprs is not connected, then I get a DUN connection, but no network connectivity. Connecting gprs then disconnects the DUN.
Is there a solution for this annoying crap? My old SE T616 let me DUN with my laptop just fine.
Could wiring the laptop to the SX66 with activesync, and some 3rd party app solve the problem?
thanks, I appreciate any comments or suggestions.
Also, could someone who has NOT applied the latest Siemens patch tell me if they get they same behavior?
update
Since I got the SX66, I've noticed the following bug.
The GPRS symbol appears in white briefly when I start up the phone, and then disappears.
If I connect using GPRS, then I get a black symbol which seems to stay after I've disconnected.
IF I try DUN when there is a disconnected, lingering black GPRS symbol it works. But if I actually connect GPRS, then it hangs up the DUN.
??????
Now I have a working solution. Before using Bluetooth DUN, connect and disconnect GPRS.
Out of curiosity, is this business unique to the SX66, or common across the Blueangel platform?
I'm quite sure I have my xda iis configure incorrectly.
When I go into connections. There is only one entry. That is "my work network". I have my isp set up in there so I can access the internet via gprs.
This works perfectly. I have outlook checking my email every 5 mins.
Here's the problem.
When I connect it to my computer, it still checks for email, but it doesn't use gprs, it looks like it uses the network my computer is on. (which is great!)
Now, the problem I'm having is when I disconnect it from the cradle gprs does not start back. it says its using the grps connection, but never connects. (I can tell that it's not doing anything because the computer speakers dont' make their normal noises when the phone is communicating with my wireless provider).
Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong? do i need to provide more information?
Download the pdf file from PapaDocta's post in 'http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=21876'. Your Connections screen should actually look like shown in the picture below. I actually needed a hard reset coz I had checked the "network connections" in the non volatile memory, and it kept loading earlier settings which caused the problem. A hard reset, and following the instructions in the pdf sorted my internet access problems out!
Thank you for reading this, I really need your help.
Two options: which one below is true or possible?
1- It is possilbe to Connect my Laptop to internet via Dialup connect. on pocketpc phone? and connect my Laptop to pockect pc phone via Bluetooth.
Or should I use the dialup connection on my laptop to connect to internet using Wireless modem on my pocket pc phone?
does this make sense?
I have Siemens SX66.
You must be a mind reader because I was going to ask the same question.
Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated
I've successfully connected my XDAIIs to laptop for internet access.
On USB craddle, you can
1. Laptop connected to internet ( dial up / lan / whatever ) --> XDAIIs sits on craddle and connect to Active sync ---> XDAIIs can access internet
2. Use XDAIIs as the dial up modem via GPRS and your Laptop is able to access internet. This option u will need "HTC HUB" modem driver.
IrDA, you can
1. Use XDAIIs as the "Virtual" dial up modem via GPRS and your Laptop is able to access internet. This option u will need IrCOMM2k for emulating IrDA port on your laptop to see XDAIIs as its modem on its com port.
Bluetooth
This one i never try. I don't have bluetooth on my laptop :-(
As Forum Elders and experts have been saying...PLS TAKE SOMETIME AND EFFORTS TO SEARCH ON THIS FORUM and u will need the desired.
FYI, one can use 2s/2i/mini/Jam/XDA II ...etc as a wireless Modem via USB/Serial/Bluetooth/Irda.
Pls also take efoorts to read the manual which is provided with...

Can you help me this. I can connect my Laptop to my Pockect PC phone via BlueTooth dialup connection modem (in my pocket pc phone), but how can I connect my pocket pc phone to the internet using ISP dialup modem and not GPRS.

Hi there,
Follow the steps below.Kindly note that to access your ISP, your SIM card should have Data Services enabled from your service provider.Also, the dial up number should be PSTN Number....viz nos start from 1 cannot be dialed from a GSM Network.Check thiis with your Network service provider.
1.FIrst of all pair your device with your laptop BT, so that your laptop checks the services which your PDA offers viz Serialport,DUN., Activesync etc...
2.Now, go to Network connections on your Laptop and opt for make a new connection.Just take care that you should opt for Bluetooth Modem while selecting the Modem.Rest all is same as you had done for your ISP.
3.Now, just dial the connection...your phone shd be able to maka a data call.
Pls let me know if you were able to do so...Best Luck

Thank you hdubli, I will try it and let you.
How about direct dial up to ISP/PSTN from pda phone?
Can we do that?
Imagine, go anywhere only with pda phone.
Yes one can do that For doing so one has to select the "Cellular Line" while making a new connection on phone and input the dial up number provided by service provider..I suggest consult your service provider for doijg this

You can only get up to 9.6kbps dialing up to an ISP account (CSD service, typically USD$9.99/mo). With GPRS you can get at least 28.8kbps... That's why GPRS is more expensive (typically USD$19.99/mo)...
Now unless you plan to just browse gopher sites (gopher://quux.org/)... I don't think CSD is worth the trouble...

GPRS is fine, but expensive in the UK. It is £2.35 per MB with an 02 monthly contract. Unless you get an 02 Pay As You Go SIM and 'bolt on' 02 Active5. It's £4 for 5mb.
If you use simple old fashioned dialup PSTN/ISDN you can use (for example) a free 0845 dialup (UK2.net) and use your bundled minutes instead.
OK it's slower, but I just want email headers and have over 800 minutes rolled over this month!!

All,
My laptop has bluetooth and I would like to use this connection with my BA to make a dial up to a connection to an ISP. Is this possible? I know there are guides to use the BA as a connection to my GPRS connection, but this is not what I want.
In fact, I actually want to install the BA as a 'modem' in Windows XP, as I will be using NetOp to actually dial the number. I feel I am close, but not quite there. I figure it may be that I need initialization commands, but the only guides I can see are for the GPRS connection. I want my BA to do the screechy thing to another Dial-Up modem.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Peoples,
I would like to set up my Orbit to work as a modem for my Laptop whilst on holidays ie use it to connect to the internet etc
Question is how can I do same, and the best method given that my laptop has bluetooth and wifi (or direct cable connection?)?
Many thanks
I assume you're on O2 and don't mind paying for GPRS roaming while aboard, which I assume your holiday is also aboard.
You can follow the below link from O2 (setup for windows) which tells you what username/passowrd, phone number and ips you need to put in the settings.
http://www.o2.co.uk/assets/O2HybridNav/Static-files/PDFs/Windows manual set up instructions.pdf
as far as the installing the modem goes, turn on bluetooth, discoverable, and your PC should see your phone in the bluetooth browser and you should be able to add it as a modem.
Thanks for the reply humps
...will try here (UK) first, but back in Australia will use a local SIM for data and calls....cheers
It's not that hard..
You simply need to pair up your orbit with the lappy... the blootooth should detect and install various components (modem etc)... but the one you need to use is Bluetooth LAN. On the orbit, go to intenet sharing, make the pc conenction Bluetooth PAN, and hit conenct - I've not tried it on USB, as the bluetooth is perfect...
Then, just double-click the bluetooth LAN connection on the laptop, and it should piggyback on the back of the orbit's GPRS connection.
USB is easy, start Internet Sharing in the Programs menu, tell it what connection settings to use, select USB, then touch connect. Plug the cable into the laptop and your done.

Except it runs the battery down very quickly. USB will charge the battery whilst you browse.... But other than that it is fine.
i was wondering is it possible to share ppc's wifi connection through usb to a lappy without wifi capability?

It might or might not work though!
This really gets me in the UK... I have hundreds of mins free calls yet get charged sill money for going on line GPRS.... When away its cheeper to plug into a phone line and go on dial up and the same speed.... why hasnt someone come up with a way of using the phone as a 'modem' old skool style. that way i could use the phone call mins and pay for the on line time rather than kbs
Interesting thought GPRS v GSM
Have you tried settings..connections, add a new connection and just specify 'Cellular Line' arather than GPRS...
You'll need an ISP with a dialup number, but it would count as a standard call.
Problem, of course, is that most ISP dialups are 0845 numbers which won't come out of your call allowance, but if you could find one with say an 020 number, you may be getting somewhere (line spped would be v slow, but it would be good enough to download mails and then read them offline)
