XDA2s Bluetooth GPRS Dial-Up Networking - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

Hi,
Before I get the standard flame response, I have looked throughout these forums and searched the web for an answer to no avail. My question is this.
Could someone please give some indication as to why when I attempt to perform a DUN connection over bluetooth on to my O2 mobile web GPRS connection my laptop connects then immediately disconnects with an Error 619.
My XDA2s is on the upgrade that was released recently and my laptop previously had no problems connecting using my K700i.
If I try to connect via bluetooth and GSM (standard number dialed) I have no problems.
Many thanks for any responses, this is driving me nuts.

MDA III - Newbie Set-Up Confusion (MSN Messenger)

Hi,
picked up a shiny new MDA III yesterday afternoon having switched providers - number transfer in progress - so I'm new to both the handset and the provider.
Managed to get the unit hooked up to my home WiFi network pertty simply etc and got the Active Sync sorted etc.... other than the fact the GRPS isn't configured out of the box, I've got a single major bugbear to sort.
That is that I don't seem to be able to get MSN Messenger to connect.
It's exhibiting exactly the same symptoms suggested here.... http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;832515
... but obviously the refers to a previous OS version ?
So, either I have something to fix or unlock in the set-up, the port is blocked on the handset (works fine on my laptop on the same WiFi through the same firewall) ?
Had a search through the forums, but to no avail. Can anyone help me on this ?
Are there any recommended patches/fixes I should have installed straight from the off ?
Thanks in advance !
Matt
OK, just so you you don't think I'm totally clueless, from what I've just been reading in the T-Mobile online manual, I have to have the GPRS connection open to connect to Messenger.
Is this right ? Surely if I have a active WiFi connection is should be able to connect using that, right ? Will it connect via GPRS and then pass it over to WiFi ?
I'll have to check it when I get home to see if I can resolve it in that way.
Any other tips gratefully received !
Matt
I'm using Messenger with a CSD (GSM) connection because it's part of my allowance. Sorry but I haven't tried WiFi yet.
I'm having the same problem.
MSN Messenger works fine using GPRS but fails to login using my Wifi connection.
What's even weirder is that it works ok when docked (ActiveSync)!!!
I'm using MDA III on T-Mobile (UK)
Anyone got any ideas?
I've tried replicating this issue, but on my XDA IIs over WiFi, it connects to messenger no problem... it doesn't even try to initiate a GPRS connection first. I can only assume that the MDA III is configured slightly differently out of the box.
As a thought, you might want to double-check Connection Manager and see which type of connection is set for programs that automatically connect to the internet
Ok, home and finished doing the set-up.
I've found no way of using MSN by any other protocol than GPRS. If you are WiFi atached and attempt to use MSN, then it will drop the WiFi connection and instead pick up GPRS. And obviously you're on for .075p per kb... which might be the real answer in why T-Mobile have set-up the device in this way.
The 'programs that automatically connect to the internet' doesn't seem to allow you to select WiFi as the default connection, only the range of GSM/GPRS options and the 'My Work' one.
Should I use the 'My Work' VPN option and set that up to use WiFi ?
If anyonebody has got any tips on how to set or hack this... seems there are a few of us that might benefit !
Just out of curiosity: if you go into your WiFi manager, have you specifically told the device that the WiFi card in your MDA III connects you to "The Internet"?
I can't recall whether that was the default setting before I set up my wireless network connection on my IIs... it seems like such a no-brainer, but it could assume that your WiFi connection is to a work network etc.
I'm at work and it 's at home.... but I'm adamant that that it knows that the WiFi connection connects to the Intanet. As you say, I think that it is the default setting
However, I will check !
Any other MDA III owners shed any light on this ?

Dial up networking using SX66

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?

if the AP's DHCP sevice is off,you can't get the IP automatically
The DHCP is dodgy on my belkin router, so I have each PC and my BA set up to use a specific IP address, rather than rely on the iffy DHCP.
You may find you need to input a DNS if you do it this way.. just copy one off a working PC
Forgive me if I am talking utter c#$* but if you have established a connection have you not been allocated an IP via DCHP? Just taking a step back from router problems, when setting up the wireless connection did you set up for work or internet profile?
simjo, what you say is prefectly logical, but I have seen cases (as the thread poster was suggesting) where a connection has been created, but no IP addy issued. At these times, no internet access etc is possible. i.e. connection is said to be active, but it is useless.
My solution for this problem was as I posted above, dont bother with DHCP. Set IP addresses manually.
I have a similar problem on a new M2000 (so I'm probably overlooking something)
I can connect my PC and laptop to my router (D-Link 614) on WiFi without any problem
The M2000 can "see" the WiFi but there is no connection
When I try to view pages via GPRS there is no response
When I try MSN Messenger, same again there is no response
I've tried several soft and hard reboots, but no difference
I also find switching the "phone" on is very difficult as I am warned to "The phone is off. Do you want to turn Wireless on"
I then turn Flight Mode on, but am then warned that Orange GPRS cannot connect
I have managed to make some test phone calls, but the menus seem to be taking me round in circles...
Any advice welcome
My Best Roms - WIRELESS PROBLEMS FIXED!!
XDA IIs UK from O2 - WIRELESS PROBLEMS FIXED!!
1. Best ROM so far without doubt for me is the BA_TMNL_14200_119_11300_Ship from T-MOBILE
AND its the fastest ROM ive ever used!
2. Best ROM (slightly slower)
XDA 1.42 115 T-Mobile Firmware (uses Radio 1.13)
3. I-Mates 1.40 WWE with Radio 1.13
still had an issue with audio dropping from incoming calls
If you've seen any of my previous posts you'll see the hell i've been in trying to get anything to work with these ROMS, now it ALL works. and I dont say that lightly!
i tried the last 2 factory ROMS from O2 UK 140.237 & 140.242 which is there latest and I had WIFI nightmares with both of those..
I must have spent 30 hours swapping ROMs and this is the best Ive found so far now. Seamless Wireless Hookup everytime! I have Rude FM 88.2 Streaming Live through my Linksys Router at 64k 44khz using Pocket Music 3.2 , Surfing the Net, even the GPRS is stil enabled with the WIFI signal, a special lead pipes the audio to my Amplifier it's been on all day playing variouse stations, Windows Media Player streaming well, even download Skype over the XDA and installed it.

Bluetooth Multitasking for GPS and Internet Sharing?

After searching for Bluetooth multitasking via Search function, it doesnt come up with any result, and also all I could read about Bluetooth is Earphone and Internet sharing settings.
I am concerning whether my HTC herms (8525) could bluetooth connect GPS and Laptop for internet sharing simultaneously.
I tried connect to Laptop and BT earphone at the same time, but while I tried to call and do the internet together, it didnt work. However, I was on GSM at the time I tested it(bad signal at home, no 3G available in apt.), so not accessing the internet and call signal should be reasonable.
Since I am not sure if they could be used together or not, I want to ask if anyone here knows the answer.
Thanks in Advance.

Wi-Fi Disconnects

Hello,
I have an issue with my TyTN that's been bugging me for some time. I've searched the forum with no avail.
Everytime I connect to my college's wireless network using PEAP authentication (WPA2), the wireless connection is dropped after a couple of minutes. From then on, I can't connect to any wireless network (the list of available wireless networks is empty even though there are access points around me). I have to soft reset to get it working again. I never have this problem with my router at home. The problem is reproduced both using then newest WM6 ROM from HTC and the i-mate/Telstra WM6 ROM.
Anyone can help?
