I bought my Hermes a couple days ago, and of course the first thing I did was get rid of WM5 for WM6.
The system runs great and I can actually read English, unlike Kanji.
One exception to my high praise is Internet Sharing... the TyTn ROM I flashed the system with seemed to come with a broken sharing app... no big deal, I went on the internet and downloaded it, installed it, and proceeded to watch it not work. The app actually DOES launch now, but when you press the connect button, it quickly cycles on, then back off in the matter of about a second.
If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.... I need tethered internet as soon as possible!
Thanks in advance.
Just a quick bump, anyone think they know why my internet sharing won't stay on?
Oh also, my phone tells me that it detected an unknown USB device attached to it and asks for the driver.. even when it's not connected to anything.
Problems with internet sharing
I also have problems with internet sharing on my Hermes (MDA Vario II) with WM6 Black Satin. Most of the times once I have disconnected from the internet and try to connect later it doesnt connect saying it can not connect due to some unknown reason. Only after a software reset does it begin to work again. Never had this problem on WM5 and have tried closing Activesync completely before reattempting a connection to no avail.
Anybody with an understanding of the problem or solution ?

I want to dump my blackberry phone and just use my jasjar. Early reviews of the German ROM with BB Connect seemed to indicate that I would need to download an older T-Mobile ROM with an older radio stack to get BB connect to work.
Can someone point me to a good combination of a more recent ROM (english) with the BB Client software that I can use with a US T-Mobile Enterprise BB account.
thanks,

Hi,
you can download the BBC-Client from Vodafone (German version, dunno if there's a WWE one). It's not provider locked like the T-Mobile one and works great with my Uni.
I have the latest qtek rom with radio 1.09 on it.

Blackberry connect working on unversal
I managed to get everything working. Thanks for the link. In addition here is the link to the activesync with the Blackberry desktop software.
http://support.vodafone.de/publicfiles/ActiveSyncInstaller2.1.1.9.zip
First I installed the bbclient on the uni and then the desktop software it read my settings from the other blackberry desktop (the one used with my device) automatically.
Everything is fine except when the Universal is docked it disconnects the GPRS tunnel; probabely firewall issues.
any ideas?

Glad to hear that you got it working.
The disconnect is a normal behaviour. BBConnect will always disconnect from GPRS a soon as you attach the device to ASync. AFAIK there is nothing you can do about.

Use Airfix and checkit out, it will not kill Wireless connection while Active Sync is on. Cheers,
Strange thing - when i turn off my device (having BB client running) after i turn it back on in 10 minutes - BB is down and there is no icon in the taskbar. It does even disappear in Settings !
I've installed BB Connect on SD card.
Anybody experienced anything like that ?
Resolved.
BBConnect HAS to be installed in the main memory - no way to make it work correctly been on SD.
One more issue noticed - from the first try i was not able to see the BlackBerry folders in the list of my messanger. Messages are comming and i can preview them at the bottom of the screen, but when i goto messenger (standard) i do not see anything.
I've created a new dummy mail account and - VOILA ! i can see the BlackBerry folders. After 3-4 hours is disappeared again. :-( . I removed the dummy account and again was able to see the BB folders for a while. Then the whole story repeats.
Don't understand how to overlwhelm this.
Anybody has any ideas ?

Do you know if this software can work with every mobile provider? I'm in spain, using vodafone but they told me doesn't support this sofware and said nothing is available to use BB in a universal...Maybe a commercial matter in order to sell BB hardware...
Hello all,
You've got a nice forum here, that I stumbled upon yesterday... and already I've got a little problem , where I hope you can help me with. (I've searched the forum already in the Artemis section, but didn't find anything appropriate to help me, so if I missed a solution for my little problem, I'm sorry for posting it again)
Here I go:
Since today my activsync won't syncronize with my HTC P3300 anymore.
There is a connection, but no syncronisation (I mean I can explore the folders on my phone, but it never stops syncronizing). The Optionsmenu in Activsync is also blanked out, so I can't change any settings (anymore).
The problem occured when I changed some settings that I would like to sync also. (My contacts and emails where not set to be synced, so I activated them earlier today) after that the activsync windows on my desktop only shows that he is syncronizing, but never stops -> As I tried to figure out a solution, I removed my connections that were stored on my phone (I've got 2 'syncaccounts': work and home), and tried to create another 'syncaccount',...alas. Before that I tried to softreset my phone,... also had no effect.
My activsync status (on the phone) says that the server can not be reached, and that there might be a network problem (but why can I explore my folders on the phone then?). So I tried to fix (with the standard repair-option) my lan setting for the phone on my desktop, but that didn't do the trick either...
I really don't know what happenend, and I hope that the forum's wisdom can help me out here.
Thanks in advance,
Leniad
Never mind,
resolved it myself. Hardreset the PPC and installed activesync 4.5
Now it works again.
Still wonder what caused the problem?

Hello, been using custel 2.5 for a while now, probably the day after it came out. Now I need to use internet sharing adn I`m not able to do it thru BT. When I pair my device I can do activesync just fine, but on Vistas BT manager (BT Devices) its not showing the dial-up device. This is strange it works fine with the USB connection, but I really need the BT. Please help. Thanks in advance.
BTW it used to work with wizard with WM6. Thanks
its not a dail up service to start off with its a PAN. second what BT stack are you using? I had the broadcomm stack first and that wouldnt work so i had to switch to the native MS stack and its works fine. If you know how to edit the bt.inf file on your vista machine that will install the MS stack instead of the other stack.

Doesnt it show up in the dial-up services in vista bt device manager ? so i guess Im doint it wrong ? Is there a tutorial that I can see. I remmber on the wizard WM6 it just showed up as a dial-up device and I just dial it. How do I do it here ? Maybe I dont even have to edit anything, maybe Im just having a senior moment thx for the reply
believe it or not if you use your handheld's help program and search for internet sharing it will give you instructions on how to set it up. and no it does not show up on vista as a dail up network since it is not also search this forum for Bluetooth PAN and there is lots of info
doh I never even looked at help on the phone thanks I see how to do it now I see that on the wizard they used the old wm5 modemlink or whatever its called. thanks again but plz try to be nicer to ppl next time

Yeah got it working, works ok kinda slow, I get about 322k on dslreports.com/mspeed while on the phone I get around 800k on the phone it self and about 800 using the USB cable. Any suggestion on how to speed it up ?

I noticed the speed decrease over PAN compared to the USB cable as well. I get way more fluctuations over BT. I am sticking to the USB but it is a nice fallback. Also, for me, Internet Sharing is a night and day difference over dial-up networking/modem driver. It is so easy. This feature is a WM6 gem!

Bluetooth is severely limited in Terms of speed, especially if you're not using Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR

anyone else stuck with vista showing unknown device in device manager when usb tethering with internet sharing on mine it seems to work for 5 mins then disconnect and give up reverting back to unknown device. so im stuck with bluetooth
vista 64 bit
Hey Guys!
My first post with such a stupid problem:
i'm trying to connect to internet with vista 64bit using my hermes over usb. but it doesnt seem to work.
Until last week i had win xp sp3 on my pc and the internet sharing option in hermes worked without any problems. Now with Vista Ultimate 64 bit i can connect the phone to pc, sync works perfect.
when i start internet sharing, phone builds up a GPRS connection but after 2-3 sec it disconnects the data connection and active sync authentication starts with vista.
In vista i cant find any modem connection in network settings. The only thing i found was in device manager when phone is connected to pc (HTC USB Modem)
here is my spec :
- windows vista ultimate 64bit
- mobile device center 6.1
- Framework etc. is installed
my Hermes:
- HTC_HERMES_S64_WM_6.1_TouchFlo2D_UC_V3_WWE_02.10.2008
- SPL 2.10 olipro
- radio ver 1.54.30.10
i have re-installed the drivers and device center several times without success.
What the hell i forgot or what i'm doing wrong...
Are there any tools or drivers i should use?
My friend has a vista 32 bit system. with his pc its no prob...some rndis drivers installed itself and we began to surf.
But in my vista 64, i missed this rndis driver installation......
Please can someone help me, i'm so confused...
Try checking your firewall... maybe disable it to test and see if it works temporarily.
Alright, thank you i'll try it on monday when i'm in office...
Ive no i-net there so i must be prepared, so are there any specific drivers or something i need to download? Or is device center enough?
Close Firewall doesnt really work...
Yesterday, i had a connection for one time...
In Device Manager, there was a "Remote ndis based Internet sharing device"
and internet worked...Today nothing works...
What have I to do in Vista? Should I deactivate some processes like wcescomm.exe? When I do this, It automatically restarts when Internet Sharing connection breaks down.
Could someone explain step by step how to get Internet Sharing work (Steps, Tools, Programs, Drivers)?!?
Thanks guys!
Same Problem
I am having the same exact problem.....
I HAD windows xp sp2 and everything worked fine once activesync was installed.....
I HAVE windows vista 64 bit and the device under the device manages show that its not working... it instals the RNDIS (whatever) drivers but dose not work...
I TRYed windows vista 32 bit, everything works fine..... the device conects with no problems...
SO the problem is that its VISTA 64bit so what would be causing this ???
btw my phone is a WM6 8525 from ATT with Internet Sharing
I need the internet sharing option when im at HomeHome and not at school, so im thinking about taking my laptop back to office depot!
So glad im not alone...
In meantime, in arranged with the prob... I think no one knows a solution...
Ok so my phone will only randomly sync using ActiveSync 4.5.
Most of the time it says its an unknow device. I also notice when I install the drivers, it registers as a Generic Windows Mobile Device.
Any fix for this?
Not a fix, but a work around. The general panacea for ActiveStink problems is to go to Settings> Connections> USB to PC> and uncheck Use Advanced Network.
What that does, as far as I am able to tell, is to switch to the old way of connecting the PPC to the PC.
Having a different issue with Activesync on my 8525 (Hermes100) since upgrade to WM6.. error reports "change on server" forcing a complete re-sync with Outlook; all "custom" settings, pictures, ID ringtones, etc. from the phone are lost... Get's frustrating as it takes time to re-config... it will go 1 or 2 weeks fine, and then without warning this message comes up, have not made any changes on the PC or config that would trigger this as far as I know... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated..

Last time I saw this. it was after I returned from a trip and my laptop had a one hour difference with the Phone (syncs time from the celular network).
No option in activesync to connect via infrared
Hi!
Can someone help me?? I have S64's WM6.1 rom running on my 8525 from last few days ...I have noticed that i am able to connect my device with infrared also I am not getting Connect with Infrared option in active sync on my device.
Is there any way to fix this problem??
Thanks in advance.
Hey all,
Some people around who have the same problem...
When I undock my device from my pc (USB cable) it all goes fine for some hours, after that, my connection is freezing... (the 3G connected icon is still on my device, but no connection anymore) .
The only thing I can do is reboot the device and again after a few hours, the same again. It only happens wireless, that means when i'am connecting my device to the pc when it stuck, well he is working normal.
Now, I already tried to add a regkey DnsCacheEnabled, but no result. I want to clear this out, cause this is not real funny
I wanted to make sure it is not on my exchange, so if anyone has a proper working exchange server, can I have a demo account for some days to test it out.
If some people are having the same issue, please contact me, so we can find a solution.
Thanks again all,
