Hi,
I recently got an xda IIs, I have managed to connect to my broadband connection via my cradle - however I am now trying to set up a wlan connection to transfer my files over as I left my cradle and charger at my other house, doh!!!
I can get a connection however - for the life of me - I don't know how to transfer files!!?!?!! Now that I have a connection - should my pocket pc not show up in My Network Places? I cant find it anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I also have a second question, I am aware that the onboard memory is volatile - but can someone clarify if the storage memory on the phone (not sd card) is non-volatile or not.
Many thanks,
LCMGxs
Hi
Windows Mobile does not have a network client built in. From what I can gather, it does support SMB, but has no front end. Suggest you get a copy of pocketlan which is a front end.

Other than that you'll have to use activesync (this will work over wifi once you have used it once over USB).

cheers mate.
Hi all
With resco explorer you can map a networtk drive and and the transfer files as normal..

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

Its much better than WM5 i must say once you figure it out its so easy to use just click internet sharing and connect connect to your pc and your done its so easy
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, I have an o2 orbit running WM5, and everything has been going fine..not had any problems since I installed the SD card corruoption app, and I've not even changed the apps running on it for 2 months as everything was just perfect.
but, I've been reading that WM6 would be faster (I do get the occasional hang while the machine trid to catch up with what I'm doing), so I am thinking about the upgrade.
however, a lot of the posts I've read seem to indicated that I need activesync 4.5. I've tried this at least 3 times in the past, but it refuses to work on my machine and each time I have to go back to 4.2. Bsically the application on my pc locks up, never connects to my device and I have to end the application.
so, do I really need 4.5 to upgrade to WM6...and then again..do I really need WM6...is the improvment that much better?
yes, you need it
ok thanks...I guess no upgrade to WM6 then. AS4.5 just refuses to run on my machine
You only need it to sync with your pc. I use 4.5 at home but don't have it at work so I use WM5storage to transfer files to and from my works pc
that's just it though, 4.5 wont sync with my device...it just hangs.
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)

Has anyone successfully connected their WM6.1 HTC S620 to Ubuntu?
Simple file transfer would be a good starting point.
ill try tonight...
I gave it a shot but ummm let me see what is going on.

For simple file transfer could you use WM5torage and it gets recognized as a flash???
WM5torage is your best bet for file transfer. Multisync with the SynCE plugin are supposed to work for contacts and calendar, but the gods would have to smile on you, the starts be aligned, and you'd have to hold your mouth just right to get it working.
Almost forgot....obex in ubuntu (but not kubuntu) works with the Dash over bluetooth. In kubuntu, I think it's a one-way trip, but I can't remember which (the PC or the phone) that can't receive.
Not to hijack this thread but has anyone had any luck getting the dash to work with the internet sharing with Ubuntu via usb. I was never able to get this to work unless I am having one of my dense moments. My only source of internet at home right now is the dash. (Perhaps there is a driver I can download through another computer with an internet connection and save to a flash drive). I've been meaning to ask this question a couple of weeks ago but have since been busy and forgot. I figured I would ask here first before hitting up the Ubuntu forums.
I don't remember the results I got while playing with it, but as soon as you connect the Dash to Ubuntu via usb, it detects it as another network device. As far as the actual "tunnel" you need to set up to get tcp/ip over the link was always outside my realm of interest, so I never really messed with it.
to transfer file, i use bluetooth and ftp, no wm5storage
bluetooth is the best for ease use! works perfect in ubuntu 8.04. just right click file and send by bluetooth to phone.
ftp its good for complex transfer (multiple files, folders, etc). I use resco explorer on windows mobile and proftpd+gui on ubuntu
WM5torage unmount memory card from windows mobile to mont on usb. Because i use memory card to store emails/webcache, i got some freak errors using wm5storage. (like moving memory card to "\memory card 2" folder)
i do not sync anything (email, contacts, notes or whatever).. but i do backups (from time to time) using ppcpimbackup (not a smartphone app but works [bugy gui] )
I need test ogg sync or something to sync with my google account. did you try something like?
Thanks!
Thanks everyone. WM5storage works a treat over a USB connection.
Tried connecting over bluetooth but I got an OBEX error. Will take a longer look at it when I get chance.
hi @all,
i use WM5Storage for filetransfer with UBUNTU.
Funambol for sync my KAISER over HSDPA works without problems. You only have to install the funambol-programm on your PPC and config the account on myFunambol.
http://my.funambol.com
http://www.funambol.com/
The Evolution-mailclient in UBUNTU can be synced with myFunambol too. you need to install this app:
https://launchpad.net/genesis-sync
If you flash your PPC 2x a week like me, funambol is the best, because it configures by installing automaticaly the mailaccount on the device. only need to put in username and password
Thanks Acidd.
The pointer to funambol is a useful workaround for the 6.1 SMTP problem.
Where can i get a nice Wm5torage version?
The stuff i have does not want to work on my WM6 Samsung i600, i get some error?
if you dont get a connection with wm5storage, you need to check the two points in the menu-->troubleshooting --> "disable concurrency" and "disable RNDIS on activate".
i dont know where i downloaded my version of wm5storage but its V1.8.
