Hi all,
Here is my situation (with iMate PDA2K):
I can find my Wireless Access Point in my home just fine with my PDA2K.
But as is the case with my laptop, I need to login to gain access to the actual internet (for the Dutch among us: I am using MxStream and Planet).
Is it possible to do this also from my handheld...?
A solution would be fantastic!
Thanks in advance, and should something not be clear, let me know....
Hi all,
Just thought this might be of some interest to someone.
I've managed to get a Microsoft Bluetooth Keyboard (Wireless Optical Desktop) working on an iMate PPC (XDA-II) running stock MS Bluetooth Stack (ROM 1.72.00WWE) by using the Frogpad CC2GO-HID2GO drivers.
http://www.cc2go.net/frogpad/hid2go/PPC2003MS/
The Beta drivers seem to have a better install... it seems to require a soft-reset before using otherwise it keeps disconnecting, and you need to leave the program running in the background... but otherwise, it seems OK. I'll report more if it causes problems for me.
Hope this helps someone.

The link does not work
Could you help me ?
I am trying to get my laptop running linux to use my hermes as a modem over bluetooth. So far I am not succeeding, I have paired the phone and the laptop, but no services show up to share. I have sent files over bluetooth to the laptop and that is just fine.
Has anyone else done this? I really don't want to change my laptop back to windows just so I can surf the net using my phone.
Thanks
What distribution of linux and what window manager do you use?
And does the file transfer work both ways? (to the phone and from it).
I might help you a little
Using Ubuntu - Edgy Eft and Gnome.
I don't have a way for files to be sent from the latop, I am using the blue tooth file sharing program - which seems to be one way only.
I did this a long time ago, so I might have forgot something, but let's give it a try.
First check if you have a rfcomm device in /dev/, there should be something like rfcomm0.
And this is there if you have edited and paired your phone correctly!
(you should add your device to /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf)
Try Gnome-PPP, it's a very good program for dialup rutines ^^
Code:
sudo apt-get install gnome-ppp
The gnome-ppp should be run in root mode because rfcomm device has no privileges, or then you could just chmod it.
But anyways, I've made a script for myself to turn on BT and start gnome-ppp, to run it with root privileges with the following command
Code:
gksudo -u root gnome-ppp
after that you see a window with username password etc.
press setup and put in the following config..
Setup
Now we need a init string! I have no idea what is your provider and what init string is needed for it.
In the Setup window press Init Strings...
And in the first place you set the string.
With Saunalahti as a provider I have a init string of:
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet.saunalahti"
notice that internet.saunalahti is the APN name for my providers internet gprs connections! So replace this with yours, or then contact your provider and ask for that info
Now back to the first window.
My ISP doesn't require any username but you can't connect without them so put in whatever you like for example
username: none and password: none
or
if you need username and password for your providers GPRS, then add them here
For the phonenumber set the number: *99#
Nothing else, that should be it then if I got it all and remember correct
Then just connect (notice that on TyTN there isn't any "connecting to GPRS" popups when you use a PPP from linux).
in WM6, the phone internet sharing no longer behaves like a modem. not sure how to get it working with Linux

what do you mean, the "Wireless Modem" program that you can find in the Programs folder?
I never used that, there's no need of it.
In fact, don't use it, propably wont work with it.

I've been successfully using my Wizard and Hermes as BT modems for GPRS/EDGE/UMTS connections, but only with WM5 (check out my tutorial here: http://klamstwo.org/evad/archives/20 ). After upgrading Hermes to WM6 I am no longer able to create rfcomm device, and I don't know why.
However, it is still possible to use GPRS/UMTS connection under Linux! I've managed to get it working through Bluetooth PAN profile. I'm planning to write some kind of tutorial on my blog pretty soon, but in meanwhile have a look here: http://bluez.sourceforge.net/contrib/HOWTO-PAN - this HOWTO describes quite comprehensively BT PAN usage under Linux.
Basically, you need to set up Internet Sharing via BT on your Hermes, and then connect from your Linux using pand daemon. Check out HOWTO, give it a try, if nothings comes up - feel free to ask here. Good luck.
Btw, my distro is FC6.

In WM5 it didn't work even with Windows (or I didn't know how to set it up properly). WM6 brings completely new Internet Sharing application which is accessible from Linux without big problems via Bluetooth PAN profile - check out my post above.
I'm planning to try connecting to internet through Hermes/WM6 via USB cable. I guess it's just a matter of installing some usb-driver. It's worth to try, as UMTS/HSDPA connection together with BT drains battery really (I mean REALLY) fast, and also - USB cable offers higher speeds than BT...
Nice to know, i'm using WM5 atm, waiting the official WM6 release from sweden (I live in finland and tried to contact finnish HTC regarding that matter), then I might look into it more.

I see your point now, I upgraded to a new ROM and AKU, now the wireless modem is gone and I cannot connect to a rfcomm device anymore. But there is the Internet Sharing application, I'm going to try your tutorial in a moment
What about USB modem?

Hi all,
It's my first post on this forum. But I'm looking forward to finding a way to use my HTC Wizard has a USB modem...
I've seen on another forum that configuring this device as an USB modem can be quite easy done on Windows. So it would be nice to have this working for Linux

You can get it working as modem the same way you could do it in WM5 - using the "internet sharing " application.
The problem described here is that when you do
$ sdptool browse <bluetooth_mac_address>
you see no services.
I have the same problem with ubuntu.
When I browse the services of another phone - a nokia for example - I see all of them .
However I had this problem with ubuntu even before upgrading to WM6.
So it seems the problem is in the bluez version delivered with ubuntu.
What I am going to try the next few days is to uninstall the ubuntu release of bluez and build the source code and install.
I had an issue with synce also with ubuntu - not working. So I downloaded synce 's sources and everything works now.

This is mainly because the connection method has changed in WM6.
In WM5 it was done via DUN (Dialup Networking Profile). WM6 Internet Connection Sharing does not utilise or advertise this profile when in place, but sets up a PUNU (Personal Area Network) profile, basically turning the Hermes into a router with dhcp services.
I followed the referenced howto and was able to get my laptop running FC6 connected to the Hermes and auto-assigning an IP address. Unfortunately, though, the connection was not stable and disconnects not long after it was established.
I'll have another read at the howto as I've noticed persistent connection flags that should force reconnection, however if I'm connected to the Company VPN, then I suspect that will continually drop also.
Can anyone post any success stories and configuration/command output that they used to create a stable connection?

It actually works stable, however I have never used single connection for more than like 30-60 minutes, yet - I guess.
Btw, works also with Fedora 7.
Hi,
I have a strange problem. I have a Hermes running WM6 (org T-Mob). I can't install software or explore the device from my PC at work. It's possible to sync files, email and almost everything else (exception: I have Pylon Pro running to sync with Lotus notes Shows it's synced but no data is transfered) but other than that I can't contact the device. Explorer shows no contents and when the software window opens all I get is the frame with no content. I had WM5 running und upgraded in the hope of solving this problem but no go. Activesync works fine with my old device (MDA II) running WM2k3SE but not with the hermes. It also works fine at home running the same configuration. Here are the stats:
Hermes with original German T-Mobile WM6 Rom
Activesync 4.5
Windows XP Professional
Has anyone had a similar problem? Any suggestions? Our IS&T department can't find a solution.
Cheers

If it's working on your home machine it's unlikely to make a difference, but I find this - http://toril.ru/pda/akrndisadd.exe - very helpful when activesync stops working, and it's non-destructive (so it's worth trying).

Hi,
Problem is now solved. I did 2 things:
1. Made it Super CID
2. Ran the small prog from the post above.
I'm not sure which solved it but one of the 2 did.
Thanks for the help.
Cheers

Hi,
I take back what I said in my last post. The problem is solved but it has nothing to do with the 2 things I mentioned above.
T-Mobile sets "Settings>Connection>USB to PC>Extended Network Functions Activated" to on by default. Unchecking this box is what solves the problem.
It seems that with this active, Activesync tries to look on the LAN for certain components, which it cannot find. This causes the communication between Win. Explorer and the MDA to not work. It also stops you from opening the "Software" funktion in Activesync (You only get a frame with no contents and the hourglass).
I hope this helps someone. It certainly caused me allot of headaches.
Cheers

WM6.0 SIP client configuration - Not working
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi all,
I have followed the procedure in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299950 and now i get Internet calling enabled in my device. However i could not make call. I am using the ondo SIP server for testing, no real service provider. I have tried many times and am not successful in getting it work.
However my doubt now is can the SIP client be configured in any of the three WM6.0 Operating system. It has 3 flavours :
1. WM6.0 Classic
2. WM6.0 Professional
3. WM6.0 Standard.
Can the SIP client be unlocked and worked from all the three or any specific flavour only ?
I think those who have made it work can provide insights into it. This is quite important for me. As till now i have been testing with WM6.0 professional. We intend to buy a WM6.0 device, so which flavour should we opt for ?
Hoping to get an earliest positive response.
im goin to be honest:
1. WM6.0 CLassic --> It works, but speakerphone sound (no earpiece)
2. WM6.0 Proff--> Same as classic
3. WM6.0 Standard--> Works bcoz says Internet Calling not available but when I configure a working server, it freezes my device at startup, so I have to hardreset it
Clear voice, Good responsiveness. So WM6.0 VoIP is quite good
I am using a LAN setup . Server used in Ondo server. But then my SIP client does not get registered with the server. Is it possible to try making calls using direct IP without any servers involved ?
kk2202,
Are you using any firewall at the SIP Server's machine?
I think you need to open SIP port (UDP 5060) at the firewall or disable it.
I'm using Ondo server (aka Brekeke SIP Server) without any problem.
Hi, did you make a _setup.xml with your settings and manage to install it?
If not make sure your phone is application unlocked and then follow the instructions again.
I'm successful on WM 6.1 Standard
You might also check for the Prov0Settings file and attach your xml here for verification.
My NAT creates problems for my Sipura 2100 box, but my softphones including the WM6.1 client gets through it without problems. For this reason I don't think your issues are NAT related. You might see the searching state, however when the IP phone icon appears in the top bar you should be good to go.
I might also add that if you suspect NAT issues you could try Fring www.fring.com/cab it is really easy to setup. If that works then it's clearly a configuration issue.
Hi,
I have attached the _setup.xml for verification. 192.168.0.101 is the machine where the ondo SIP server is running.
What should i check in Prov0Settings in this file. It gets created when i install my .cab file.
Fring is not working on WM6
Hey guys,
Im new to the XDA developer site, recently i have upgraded my Imate Jas Jam from WM5(Telestra) to WM6(3 Network) using "HERM_DOPODASIA_WWE_3.54.707.3_6275_CustomRUU" I have downloaded fring from www.fring.com/cab
Installation is successful, but when i start Fring it simplay shows up the screen which says fring is loading then close application, tried too many times could'nt make this to work, any ideas...
your help is appreciated
