XDA/Activesync/Passthough - Use XDA as a Modem? - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

Hi all, this has probably been asked b4. I'm wanting to use my Sony notebook on the internet using the GPRS connection of my XDA. I'm told MS Activesync's passthrough facility allows this.
Has anyone done this and what is the procedure? Do I need extra leads or can I use the cradle?
I'm visiting Spain soon and hope I can use it on the Movistar network although this is quite expensive I plan to use Yahoo Messenger & MSN Messenger only.
Regards
John

I guess in that case a quick use of the search function would have been in order...

It does not: it only allows the XDA to use the network connection on the PC, not vice-versa
If you upgrade to the latest Qtek 1010 ROM and get a serial cable (or use infrared), you can use the XDA as a modem. This site still contains another procedure for using the XDA as a modem, but using the Qtek upgrade is superior...

Thanks for the reply,
I did infact use the search facility but didn't find the answer to my question. I used the following words in my search 'activesync' & 'passthrough'. I read through many of the results but without finding the specific information. I therefore thougtht it appropriate to post my request.
I hope I didn't offend anyone.
I guess part the problem for some of us 'not in the know' type, when someone refers to qtek rom upgrade we are left wondering if this is specific to our hardware. I have an XDA on o2 network and qtek means nothing at all to me.
Thanks again for the reply.

John
PS Going to find out what qtek means!

As for as I can tell, QTek is some middle-man brand that handles software specifics for mobile phone operators around the world.
I've mirrored Othmans ROM updates at:

Has anybody got the WModem program working with IR?

WMModem ower IR works fine with Win98...

XDA as an internet proxy server....

Hi,
I am new to the forum and just upgraded to PPC2003PE with no problem. Set up my internet and all works fine. (at least I think. )
Anyway since T-Mobile here in the US has UNLIMITED Internet for $19.99 for the PPCPE, it would be good to use that connection with my laptop to get to the internet. Activesync does great using to PC's internet connection for the PPC, but there it does not work the other way around.
There should be a way to use the PPC as a proxy to the laptop if I am cradled, but I can't find anything that works in that way. Perhaps I should write one. But I don't want to reinvent the wheel. I have seen the wireless modem instructions, but since I don't have IR on my notebook, nor do I wish to go through the hassle of buying a serial either, just to find out I can't use my T-Mobile internet account. (I assume it might not work).
So my only other alternative is to find a USB solution. I would like to not have to disable my voice calls from coming through. The only way I can see to do this is the trusted relationship with activesync. Can anyone assist me in the information need to either set it up or write the program? My time is limited and I would welcome any help I can get.
Thanks,
Wade
Quick answer - It won't work - I've tried.
You can get very cheap infrared ports (with a USB / serial plug) which you can use on the laptop, and then setup the XDA as an infra red modem. Thats the only way you can do it - Sorry!!!

that was me its not as simple as installing 3rd party software unfortunatly. my problem and it sounds like this is the same problem are that our phones will not allow us to access wifi, usb or bluetooth networks while we are connected to our cellphone network. it's one or the other, not both.
my guess is is that our providers dont want us doing such things so the
did something to prevent us from doing this.
honestly ive given up.
You can try one of this.

thank for your help, but seem that way no work,I can use same time Activesync and EDGE on T-01A

Hidden Wi-Fi

Hi all
I have seen that HTC have just released an app for their phones called "Hidden Wi-Fi" which allows users to connect their HTC WP7 devices to Hidden Wi-Fi networks. It seems that you need a 1.30 ROM installed or have received the HTC Update for the software to work.
The app can be found in the marketplace on the phone.
Cheers
andrew-in-woking
Works a treat. Thanks for the post andrew.
balog
Great. Thanks for the post.
Now my Wi-Fi is hidden again and I can access. perfect. ;-)
I cant find it on the htc hub or marketplace. Latest firmeware and unbranded.
It is not there in the HTC Hub. Just search for "hidden wifi" in the marketplace.
Hi, can any one describe a little more that what this application is for.
I installed it on my Orange branded (updated) Mozart and added my home wi-fi name in it. Now what to do ....
cheers....
It's for connecting to hidden Wi-Fi networks

Hi ZeeShh
Most Wi-Fi networks broadcast their "SSID" which is the name of the network. However, it is possible to set up a Wi-Fi network which does not broadcast its SSID. These networks won't show up on a computer or phone which is searching for Wi-Fi networks.
In Windows and most PC Wi-Fi proprietory software you can manually enter the details of a hidden network in order to connect to it. This feature was not included in Windows Phone 7 however, hence HTC producing their own App to add this functionality.
So, the app is only really useful if you want to connect to a hidden Wi-Fi network.
Cheers

Thanks Andrew for the details. cheers...

Hi andoridkiller
Which device do you have? You need a 1.30 version ROM on your device. They are available in the Mozart Windows Phone 7 Development forum. You will need to update to nodo again after the ROM flash.
Alternatively you can wait until your device gets an update from HTC.
Cheers
andrew-in-woking
Thanks mate, I used the de branding tutorial on here to de brand the phone so I think i did flash my phone with 1.30 ROM then it re updated using zune. Ill wait hopefully get it. Thanks
is it possible, that it's just available via the US marketplace ?
[edit]
for the germans of us "verst. wlan" is the search term you have to look for
Hiding the SSID has been proven to offer no really security benefit anyway - so although the APP may be useful...overall it is better not to hid the SSID broadcast in the first place
I'm trying to download the Hidden WIFI app but under HTC hub in the actual page for the app, no 'install' / download button appears? Is the app stll available?
Can anyone advise?
Got the App...
can i connect to ad-hock wireless network??

[Q] OK, Skype is completely dead on Windows Mobile...

Even after Skype's February 2010 announcement that Skype would no longer support WinMo platform, Peter Parkes (brainless effing moron that he is, IMHO) said Skype just wouldn't be offering any more WM downloads but would continue to allow WinMo customers to connect and use the service. I'm not sure how long that lasted or when it stopped, but recently my brother loaded Skype on his Verizon BB Storm 2 and it works fine so I have been trying to connect my two WinMo phones from here in Thailand so we can converse inexpensively, one HTC 8525 WM 6.0, and lately Toshiba TG01 WM 6.5. Unfortunately both go through the motions, but neither will connect to the Skype server. I've even gone to Skype's support website and learned that other WinMo users are also complaining that they can no longer connect so it seems that Skype is indeed dead on WinMo.
So what's a suitable mobile VOIP alternative that will work on all platforms? Any ideas or comments?
Thanks!
you can try this one, even though not simple as skype.

Hi c4tevo25,
Checked your link and will give it a whirl if I can't find an all-in-one replacement for Skype.
Thanks for the tip!

You should really try again. Today I read your post and tried to establish a connection vià Wi-Fi using the WM Skype client. Lo and behold my first try was successful. I was able to make a call and to chat. So I think I can without any doubt say: It works.
Pay attention to the following details: If you tried to connect through your wireless carrier vià UMTS make sure your carrier does not block VOIP. A lot of them do. If you tried to connect using Wi-Fi ensure that your router's firewall does not block the ports Skype uses. You should be able to find out which ports are needed by Skype by visiting their website. If I remember correctly I had to open some ports myself in order to get skype working. And of course make sure you use the latest client. I have attached a .rar archive containing the latest version.
My phone is a Xperia X1 (WM 6.1) and I use the latest Skype client (not the Xperia panel).
Hi!
I've just downloaded the latest attached skype. After installation and checking the wifi router / 3g connection settings I experience the same continuous logging screen with an error message on timeout...
Any suggestions how to use it?
I'm using a gsm touch pro2 (rhodium100) with 6.5 energy rom (one of the latest builds)

Thanks for the info, altae! I've tried every version of Skype I could find for WinMo on 2 different WinMo phones with no luck. Skype works fine via my laptop, it's only WinMo where it won't connect either via my cellular data plan or connected via USB/Active Sync via a different ISP. I will contact my cell phone company tomorrow and confirm they aren't blocking Skype.
Thanks!

[Q] HELP!!! using 3g dongle with tablet to make call

Hi everyone,
I would like to know if there is an android app or any other methods or fixes or any ways to be able to make calls like a phone from a 3g unlocked dongle on a tablet pc that supports usb 3g dongles like there is software for pc's such as mobile partner? If there isnt can anyone one of you advanced android programmers create such an app or fix? The 3g dongle already supports call making and sms sending features. I have scoured the net for a solution but to no avail. I think this one is for the advanced xda developers. Thanks in advance and take good care.
Come on people!!! Somone must have an idea on this?
Bump!
Still no luck?

It has been more than two years since this post. Still no luck with such an app that allows calling through a usb dongle?
sry i know that threat is old.. but are some one know is there any way to use 3g dongle to use it to calling on my android device
lol to this day there is no software or fixes for 3g/4g dongles except ONLY ONE....... heres a thought though! there are new mobile sim calling devices being manufactured these days where you insert the mobile sim card into the device which has a telephone and a keypad and you can make calls, perhaps its because of this reason there are no softwares, SOME SORT OF BLACKLISTING. to allow sales.
the android app you need is called PPP Widget. theres an old version and a version 2 try them both.
