Hi there,
I have an O2 XDAiis. I would like to put the sim card from this into my Nokia 6230i and use my XDAiis as a PDA connected to my mobile through bluetooth. I have a IPAQ and am able to connect it to to my Nokia 6230i through bluetooth dialup networking but I cannot seen to be able to do this on my XDA. The connectivity I would like is a dialup modem and GPRS… please help
Thanks
Fiona
PS I am using the latest rom and bluetooth drivers from O2
Hi,
Yeah, the bluetooth seems to be cripled to stop you connecting via another mobile phone and make you use the operator it's got a SIM card for.
I would love to do this to - my blue angel is now my 2nd phone/pda/satnav and GPRS is expensive - if I want to use cheaper GPRS in it i've got to swap the SIM card with my main phone
I've looked about quite a bit but can't find any kind of info or workaround.

Helle everyone,
i need help with the XDAIIs that i'm having. Before buying the XDA, i was using my Sony Ericsson K700i as an external modem via infrared to connect online for my laptop (Fujitsu S Series Lifebook) . Because GPRS is expensive and my area doesn't have WiFi, so i'm using the XDA's phone capabillities to dial up online.
My problem now is my laptop was able to detect the XDA via infrared but wasn't able to dial up at all (there is no dial tone at all).
I've heard that this it is possible dial up online using the phone function of the XDAIIs and there is a lot of settings required for the XDA and the laptop, but i'm willing to do it because this porblem has affected my work a lot.
Please help me, anyone...
Hi,
Does anyone know how to use the Universal as a Modem ?
I installed the Modem Driver , but I cannot get it to work !
Are there any changes I need to make in the LAN Settings in the Internet Explorer ?
Thanks
Micman
Guess you're referring to USB modem.
1. Disconnect USB Cable.
2. Universal: START/PROGRAMS/Wireless modem
- Set USB as Connection Type
- Tools/Options: Check Use preferred GPRS / Verify APN
- Start the MODEM
3. Connect USB Cable. PC should detect the modem.
- Install drivers from original CD (D:\OEM\APPS\Drivers\USB Modem)
- Start USBModem_Dialer.exe - located in the drivers folder (Fill the UN/PWD, APN...)
- It will create a new dial up connection. Click CONNECT. It will probably fail but don't worry.
4. Try to connect using the created Dialup Connection
- Reenter UN/PWD.
- CONNECT
GOOD LUCK!
Thanks a lot !!!
Does this same work as Bluetooth Modem ???
That would make my day.
Cheers

When i used my old XDA2i and XDA2s as a wireles modem (USB or Bluetooth) i did as said above, but when you enter ""wireless modem"" it turn the phone part off for making and recieving calls and makes the phone a medem only.
BUT on my Exec using the smae toshiba laptop i have made a bluetooth conection to my Exec, then told the laptop this is a modem on the new Bluetooth comm port.
When i ask the laptop to dial the new conection it dials the default APN in the phone and works fine.
so i dont use wireless modem, and i can still have the phone on for recieving calls.
Can someone please confirm that if you use a Exec as a ""wireless modem"" it dose or dose not turn the phone off so it cant recieve calls or have they now made it do both at the same time
Thanks
John
Making a BT Connection is even more simpe!
1.Put Universal in discovery mode.
2. Search for a new device on PC / ADD Dial Up Networking Service
PC will install a Bluetooth modem
3. Create a dial up connection, enter UN/PWD & Phone number: *99#
VOILA
Hi,
great , thanks a lot for the tips, but .....
It installs a 33600 Standard Modem Driver, and I can't find a Bluetooth driver.
Am i forgetting something ?
Micman
Perhaps you should reinstall/upgrade BT drivers.
BT Modem is a part of BT Stack/Drivers.
Actually I am not 100% certain, but it seems like the BT Connection also automatically starts a Wireless modem service. If I am not mistaken, my BT Modem conneciton also drops when I answer or make the call.
So to answer your question: Yes, you can receive the call. But when you answer, the dial up connection drops.

Hello everybody,
I have the following problem with my o2 XDA III and I'm wondering if there is anyone out who has the same:
I want to use a Nokia N90 (which supports 3G) as a modem for my XDA III, and I want them connected via Bluetooth. I know it offers the dial-up networking service (DUN) so that my XDA III could connect to it. But the only service my XDA III retrieves is the "OBEX File Transfer...".
Then I tried another mobile, the Nokia 6630, which I borrowed from a friend. But again, the XDA III only retrieves the OBEX.
Finally I shuffled my cupboard and got my old Siemens S55. Now, the XDA III detected both the OBEX service and the Serial Port service.
Even an update (BT 3500 --> BT 3900) could not solve that problem.
I know the Nokias support DUN, and that's why I think the mistake lies in the XDA III.
I'd be very pleased to hear from you!
cbruehl, who liked (until now) his XDA III very much.

There IS a solution for this....
I downloaded the BroadcomCorp_BT1.6.0.600.cab from the XDA FTP server and followed this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=18052&highlight=btwizardprofiles
to the modified btwizardprofiles.dll. I modified the CAB file so that this (older!) version is installed (it's 1.4.1.60) and that works fine. I did manage to find another 1.6.0.600 bluetooth stack, but that .dll bombed out on me :roll: and I could not get the stack to install. Hope that helps.

Hi, all!
I'm a new member. Could someone help me?
Hi,
I hope this is the correct forum.
I have a VW Passat with factory fit bluetooth setup. I am having a problem and can't seem to get the car and phone to see each other.
Would anyone have any advice? I tried a soft reset on the phone and made sure bluetooth was enabled and searching.
Thanks
Hi
I too have a VW Passat, you need to set your handset to use Remote SIM mode, on my HTC3300 this program can be found by going to Start>Programs.
Once you have activated Remote SIM, switch on your Bluetooth and tell the Car to search for the device, once found, pair as normal.
You must set the Car to read your SIM memory only, if you do not the phonebook update will not read your contacts.
My VW factory fit works perfect, the only downside is that you have to save your contacts from your Outlook contacts direst to your SIM card.
Also when using Remote SIM you cannot use the phones GPRS connection, if you use Tom-Tom Traffic than you have to disconnect the phone to update...what a pain.......
If you get stuck, just mail me.
Thanks for the reply.
I can't seem to find the remote sim option. Any idea where it might be on the Orbit?
Thanks!
In order to fix my buggered wifi problem I purchased a 'G' sdio wifi card from spectec. I thought I would post my experience.
The card does work! It has good speed (perhaps fitting the 'g' rating, but I am not sure) and EXCELLENT range (compared to my old Dell CF wifi card in my Axim X5 anyway).
The only problem with it is that if the unit powers off or if you remove the card, you must soft-reset to gain access to the wlan driver again. The card will power up and flash, but there will be no connection... in fact the WIFI utility will not even open until you soft reset. All I do is run WIFIfofum and keep the card alive all the time.
BTW, if you use POCKETLAN with this, you can map a folder on a file share and pretend it is your missing SD storage card. Works quite nicely.... My plan is to buy a BLUONYX (when the come out) and use it as a massive SD Card replacement.

wow you must really need wifi to make you buy a separate one...
but the problem with the wlan driver losing access when you power off the device or after turning it off is actually ROM dependent....
thanks for the info anyway regarding the card
Yeah. It seems to have something to do with keeping the driver alive and getting confused with the built in driver when it is time to revive it. Often WIFI comes back in the 'on board' form. I have been toying with the idea of just swapping the names of the drivers in the registry...
WIFIFOFUM2 does a pretty good job (if I remember to start it). The only drawback is battery power is lost.. (you cannot remove the card, even with it running).
I don't how anyone can live without WIFI on these things... there are just so many uses for it...
Skype... web surfing... syncronising podcasts directly...a whole host of lan services...vnc... windows terminal services...
I do a lot of support work now at home... I just carry my VNC or WTS connection around with me instead of being tied to a desktop/laptop... it's great!
i forgot to mention that it does not work in wm6. i tried. the driver locks up on install.
Really? I didn't realize that was an SDIO slot. Thanks for letting me know, the wifi on my uni is dead too, and i was thinking about buying a new phone. hehe
Is it Spectec SDW-821 SD WiFi Card 802.11b/g ?
I find black one (http://www.mobileplanet.com/p.aspx?i=132725) and blue one(http://www.buygpsnow.com/spectec-sd...821-sdio-wireless-lan-retail-package-613.aspx) in internet , does it make any difference?
I found blue one is always cheaper than black one while searching internet.
I'm palning to buy one since my O2 XDA EXEC WiFi has poor reception,. and I need to get better option.
It says Transfer data rates is up to 54Mbps at 802.11g, so I'm hoping I get faster speed, and range.
Any updates on this?

I have an Qtek 2020 with PPC 2003 (ROM v1.75.103) on it and I just bought a Spectec SDW 821 b/g WiFi Card. It seems as if I can connect to my WLAN (it says 'connected' in the Settings menu) but when I for example start Pocket Internet Explorer I cannot surf the internet, because it says there is no connection??? When I then want to configure the connection I only cannot choose WLAN...
Any idea?

It's a ROM related problem. I'm currently running c_shekhar's 6.1.1b version with a Spectec 820 b WiFi card without problems. See the c_shekhar's Himalaya (Qtek 2020) ROM forum here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369701
The 'b' version is not available anymore and some people complain about the 'c' version with the Spectec card, but try it out first. Maybe c_shekhar can send you the 'b' version to you personally.
Thanks for your reply. I hoped it could get it working without the scary flashing thing (). I will think about it...

hi,
I answered myself for the previous message, the problem is that, with an integrated USB bridge facade of my tour, deploiment of packadge did not take place as required,
morality: Always check your USB connection is directly connected to a USB port.
otherwise, everything works very well, no incompatibility, or problems, great!
Registry trick to fix WIFI
This is a trick to fix my O2EXEC. The internal WIFI died, so I bought a SPECTEC 11G SDIO wifi card. It works with WM6, however when you power off the machine the wifi stops working. You have to reset with the wifi card in to get it to work again. I suspected that it might be a problem with the old driver for the built in wifi....
I got a registry editor (REGEDITCE c1.2) and found all the references to TIACXWLN.DLL and changed it to point to WLAN11G.DLL
goto
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
then
COMM
then
TIACXWLN
edit
IMAGEPATH
to say WLAN11G.DLL
then do the same on
TIACXWLN1
I have not tested too much, but initially it seems to survive a power down and a card replacement.
I have been testing for a few days now and it is working great. a few seconds after inserting the car, it connects.... and even shows the icon (which was previously there only when the built in wifi was on)
