Anybody could help me?
I tried everything.
Install and uninstall ActiveSync.
HardReset, Reset....
With the new i-Mate ROM my laptop doesn't want to connect my PPC.
It starts to connect, and it seems almost ok (I can surf between the folders of my PDA, but when I click StorageCard or ExtendedRom folders it starts thinking forever), but it just tries, never connects, never gives me a chance to make a partnership.
Does anybody know what is this problem?
THX,
Tuning
One more thing:
With the same settings on PC but with an older ROM everything is fine.
Help!!!
My girlfriend has a XDA2i which has no problem syncing to the same PC. I get the same message you get " retrieving settings" which hangs for ever until I disconnect.
Another interesting thing in my discussion with myself:
Through IrDA everything works fine!!!!!
Why is that???,
Why it doesn't connect to my pda through USB???
H E L P ! ! !
Problem Solved.
Thanks to me.
Sygate Personal Firewall Pro is guilty.
(Although I setup everything what Microsoft wrote)
It seemed ok, but the problem dissapeard just when I uninstalled the application.
I'm getting crazy...
Microsoft Feardows
Sounds to me like you diidn't have all the ports you needed open, if you happen to recall what ports you had open, and post them perhaps I could spot what you missed.
Can't really say I know anything about your firewall.

You may have right, but I opened ports which Microsoft said.
Do you know which ports are these?
The interesting is if you are right, why did work my other Jasjar or with another ROM??? Another ROM uses anorther PORTS???????
what was the resolution to this? I have exactly the same problem having just installed the ROM upgrade. What ports do you have enabled?
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.
For some reason, I can't seem to access GrandCentral Mobile (www.grandcentral.com/mobile) with Pocket IE in WM 6.1 (Shadow TE). When I goto the site it prompts for username and password, but when I enter and hit login it just goes back to the same login screen. If I visit the site from a desktop computer, it works fine. Anyone know what's going on?
It is posssible that if you are using the keyboard of your device, the characters you are pressing aren't the characters beinng given out.
Have you tried setting your keyboard to chinese or use the virtual keyboard instead to see what you get?
Cheers
WB
i tired using both the hardware keyboard and the virtual keyboard with no luck. i also downloaded opera mini to see if its blocked by AT&T's proxy or something, but it works with opera just fine, so it's definitely a problem with IE.
I'm using a wm6 rom but I've installed PIE6.1 and grandcentral works for me.

I am so frustrated! I just received my MSI BGP100 Bluetooth Gamepad yesterday & for the life of me can not get this thing working. (also known as the chainpus BGP-100 - it also says Meganet on the box). This company appears to be out of business, so I am really at everyone's mercy to get this running.
So far, I have been able to pair the gamepad with my phone & install the WinCE_Widcomm driver (this is after I installed & removed the Windows CE MS drivers - which didn't work).
I am using the 1.50 version of the gamepad application. When it opens, I go to connect to the gamepad (by selecting "active gamepad") It looks like it's going to connect, but I just get "connection error"
If anyone can steer me in the right direction, I would be soooooooo grateful. (can't wait to use it to play some vintage NES games!)
bump for a good question.
I'm working on this too. So far no luck. Anyone get it working yet? I cannot get it to connect to the joystick. The weird thing is that if I pair it manually it connects, but the program will still not allow it to connect and none of the buttons work.
ditto
worked fine on my touch pro though

in the same boat im getting Connection Error #4 can not find bluetooth gamepad, Search again??? i havea few more things to try will post back if I have success
Was just thinking about purchasing this for my Tilt 2. I have read reports about issues with Win Mo 6.5... Having second thoughts if it won't work.
No one has found a fix for this yet?
I think it has somethig to do with the bluetooth stack, IDK if there is a fix or a work around.
i did a whole lot of looking around again trying to get the gamepad to work with the tp2
i found a thread somewhere that had a bgp100 driver 0.9 written by a certain larry bank for bitbank software.9 i had to pair the gamepad to the tp2 first. open the progy and tell it which serial port to use (com2). it works great, well almost. the d-pad and start button work great. all the other action buttons all map to the same hex value. thats where i get stuck... any ideas? i hope this helps yall... i made it this far so it works with the stack or larry bank figured something out... good luck to all of you.

Hi there,
I'm trying to connect a rather simple/cheap bluetooth keyboard with the latest cm7 (beta 6 - amazing work thank you so much!). It's very simple to get it "Connected to hid device", but I cannot use the keyboard to actually type on the device at all.
I have been typing successfully with blueinput (connecting is tricky but there's a manual somewhere. This proves that I'm using a normal working hid keyboard), thing is that I'd love to make a Hebrew layout, which should be possible with the built in hid support in CM, if only I can get the keyboard to work....
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...th-hid-devices/page__view__findpost__p__40957
*I'm posting at xda and cyanogenmod's forums because I can't establish if the problem is because cm7 on the motorola defy is on (rather advanced) beta, or because I'm using a brandless keyboard, which CM might not like.
Cheers!
Froyo handles HID just fine!
Take a look at this post of mine. It's a confirmation that a cheap BT keyboard does work with Froyo! Maybe Quarx can pick some files from the 3.4.3-11 ROM!?
Just my 2 cents...
Regards,
Carlos
Uh, that's awesome, I'd wish it was just working with my setup. wondering what exactly is missing there because it does report that it's connected to hid device (but as we know that's not really enough usually) hopefully someone a bit more talented than me would want to make it work then.
hijacking my own thread here- how do you like typing on that tiny thing? you can't really put all fingers on it at once can you? it's more like a one finger type thing I'd think. I sketched the keyboard down from the given dimentions (a while ago) and I figured it won't be good for my needs...
Logitech Mediaboard Pro Working!
Did a quick test to see if my logitech mediaboard works on beta6 CM7, after i found this thread
I previously tried back on 2.1 when i got the phone in december with no luck- the phone couldnt even find the keyboard even with a multitude of apps i tried
So if anyone else has this keyboard, theres some info
-- this also means basic Bluetooth HID controller is working in cm7 or 2.3.4 ginger
I bought the same keyboard and i am able to pair it with the defy on the latest nightly.
I cannot use it for text input though.
Hope it will get fixed soon.
does it say "connected to hid device" or something else?
try bluetooth keyboard easyconnect. its on the market, and no I couldn't get it to work for me...
=(
It says "Connected to HID device"
It also recognizes key presses on the keyboard as i were able to check with "blueinput" which makes a sound on keypress.
I cant use it to input anything though.
as I said before, I can type with blueinput and bluekey jp but they disconnect all the time. you should be able to at least get them to work. rt(f)m...
try to uncheck the hid profile from the bluetooth configuration menu, at least to make it work with those two drivers.
I did uncheck HID but neither of the drivers work.
