Connecting T-Mobile Pocket PC Phone to laptop - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

I am considering purchasing the T-Mobile Pocket PC Phone. I need the ability to connect a wireless device to my laptop while I travel. Can I connect the T-Mobile pocket pc phone to my laptop? If so, do I need a cable for that or can I do it via IR?
Thanks,
Brian

Wireless modem on XDA is serial cable or irda. Be sure to disable activesync before and connect your phone to laptop before pushing the "start", button.

So will W2K automatically detect it as a modem?

Well, actually not really. Regarding the infra red connection, I had to install first a virtual infra red port (http://www.cyber-mill.com/irdaw2k.zip), and then install on it the standard 33.6 Modem.
If you want, I can post how to do this, step by step, and it works.

for two days I finally got my bluetooth-activesync to work, which just wouldn't want to work in the past. remove the bluetooth dongle, search google for a howto about how to make old devices visible inside the windows device manager, remove everything bluetooth related, com ports, the devices and the network related stuff. then reinstall the bluetooth dongle, let windows install all the driver . when this is finished you can follow the procedure described in the activesync helpfile about how to create an outgoing com port etc.
you should be just fine, as I said I could never make it work until I cleared out all the junk that windows likes to collect and carefully hides from you ;-) thats windows folks.
hope this will work for you,too.
thanks for the message, but i cant find the article on google..im using a built in bluetooth btw.....can u PM me with the directions ? really appreciate it if u can help...

USB Device not recognised

Hi All,
I flashed my HD2 ROM last night, and after that everything was working except, I could not make a call or receive a call.
I tried pulgging into my PC with windows 7 ultimate, and it's saying USB device not recognised.
ROM i used is miri HD2 ROM-v19.0 WWE
Can someone please help me with this?
First you will have to remove all references to the failed usb connection:
as Administrator,go to My Computer <Right Click> Properties <Left Click>
select tab "Advanced"
Click Environment variables
Create following Environment variables in the system section:
Code:
DEVMGR_SHOW_DETAILS
and assign it a value of 1
Code:
DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES
and assign it a value of 1
Click OK twice
Next: go to My Computer <right-click> Manage <Left-click>
go to device manager.
select view > show hidden devices,
then:
Remove all devices with a questionmark
Remove all devices which are greyed out and which you can relate to your mobile
Once you have done this, reboot for certainty.
Try again, making sure to insert USB connector first in your Phone, afterwards in a fast, secure way in your PC. Do not "hesitate" while connecting USB connector. (sometimes slow/not complete insertion may cause this problem too)

I'm interested if this works... Still have a Touch Pro2 with the same message, so I will try the same for that device. Thanks for showing the hidden devices!

[Q] Geniune USB tethering

Is there an apk or other mod out there that adds genuine USB tethering to the Vibrant on JI6? The myTouch3G just got a 2.2 update that adds an option to tether under "Wireless and Network Settings".
I don't want apps, and I don't want paid programs running, I just want a native USB tethering solution. None of this Wifi bs either, I need a desktop PC online, NOT my laptop.
Thanks

Eugenes key mapped froyo has native USB Tethering but that rom kills battery life like crazy .
You can do USB tethering through Dial Up Networking. Install the Samsung drivers, enable USB debugging on the phone, then create a DUN connection in Windows. You have to add this string into the initialization settings of the modem:
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","epc.t-mobile.com"

I was using that on JFD, but it's broken now on JI6. On JI6, it just breaks the data connection and I have to power-cycle my Vibrant to get it back.

Or buy Cradlepoint CTR-500 (make sure the latest firmware installed) and tether right away.

As I mentioned in my OP, I didn't want to have a program running on the desktop.
There are threads in general for doing it. The computer sees it as a dialup connection. I didn't even have to install drivers on osx or linux. Windows needs the drivers, but no apps.

What do you mean wifi? Is that the one that would connect desktop PC to wifi router?

Or you could just flash eugenes jpm froyo port. Its super nice even if it is a battery hog.

Hi ttabbal, what did you do to get it running in linux. I thought one would just enable debugging, plug it in and automatically tethering begins.
Could you explain a lil further.
Thanks in advance

Yeah, I was doing that on JFD (shipping firmware) but it's broken on JI2/4/6. Querying the modem gives back a "Success" reply, but trying to initialize it fails - it also kills the data radio on the phone till you reboot the phone, too.
Dial-up networking still works on mine, and I'm on the latest OTA, JI6. I'm using it to tether to my XP computer via a usb cable.
Step 1 - install Samsung drivers (instructions abound, run a search)
Step 2 - set to USB Debugging Mode
Step 3 - Plug in phone (wait for all drivers to install, now that the phone is plugged in;
Step 4 - In Windows XP, go to Start, Control Panel, Network Connections
Step 5 - Select Create a New connection from the menu on the left
Step 6 - Select, Next, Next, 'Setup my connection manually,' Next,
Step 7 - check only the box next to Samsung Android USB Modem, Next, name it whatever you like
Step 8 - Enter '*99#'
Step 9 - Next
Step 10 - Populate username as 'wap' and password with 'password'
Step 11 - uncheck the bottom checkbox
Step 12 - Next and/or Finish
Step 13 - Close the pop-up window that comes up.
Step 14 - Return to Control Panel
Step 15 - Double-click 'Phone and Modem Options'
Step 16 - Select the 'Modems' tab
Step 17 - Select the Samsung Android USB Modem that you selected in Step 7
Step 18 - Click 'Properties,' click the 'Modem' tab,
Step 19 - In the Maximum Port speed area, the highest speed, probably, 921600
Step 20 - Selet the 'Advanced' tab, and paste the below in the blank:
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","epc.t-mobile.com"
Step 21 - Click ok, ok, all the way out.
Return to Network Connections in Control Panel, and find in the list, the name of the connection you created. It will be the name you gave it in step 7.
Double click that connection, of course with the phone plugged in, and select 'Connect.' You should be all set.
I just followed these steps, as I was typing them, to create new connection, and it worked.
Also, you can right-click the connection in Network Connections, and select 'Create Shortcut,' to have a shortcut to the connection, placed on your desktop.
I am on a windows 7 device. Step number 20 doesn't work for me. Under Advance tab I cannot input anything. Please help.

I'm using Ubuntu, and they provide a nice little config app for the network connections. I just told it I wanted a dial up connection, it detected my phone attached and even had good defaults for TMobile. When I want it, I click the little status bar icon and select the cell connection. It does the rest.

[Q] How to connect to VPN?

I'm not sure whether this post belongs here, but I have googled high and low and I have not found anything that directly pertains to my Samsung Galaxy S2 issue. And here at XDA, the VPN questions seem to be about private VPNs (not commercial).
I am currently running Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread.XXKG6
I follow these steps for connecting to a LT2P
www_dot_hopthewall_dot_com/wiki/wiki/Android_L2TP_Over_IPSec
And these for PPTP
www_dot_hopthewall_dot_com/wiki/wiki/Installing_personalVPN-PPTP_on_Android_Mobile_Phone
I have tried the PPTP and L2TP
Both fail to connect
L2TP yields:
"Unable to connect to network. Try again?"
But no additional error message.
PPTP however, seems to allow the connection.
I connected a few times.
I used pptp.sfo.witopia.net. as the VPN server
That seemed to let me connect a few times;
and according to hide-my-ip.com I had an L.A. IP
But now, when I try to connect, I'm getting an error message that reads:
"Server hung up. User name or password incorrect. Try again?"
But I didn’t do or change anything. I just tried to connect as usual.
I've tried
restarting the phone.
waiting a while.
Connecting with the computer (connects without a problem)
I tried connecting to the different VPN servers.
I also tried connecting changing the VPN server from URL to an IP address,
but that just tells me "Unable to connect to network. Try again?"
I am at a loss...
I have tried at home, on my wifi account...
The same one that my computer is on, but no dice.
The VPN service provider is also at a loss.
They said "...iPhones connect all day..." (talk about a kick in the teeth)
They asked me if I wanted to cancel my account and request a refund.
Nice.
Thanks for the replies.
This forums are always so helpful.
No, that's okay, don't get up. I'll get that.
A two part work around I found was:
PART I
Sharing the VPN Connection Over WiFi by Converting my Laptop into WiFi VPN Router. An article by BESTVPNSERVICE.COM
Using a Windows 7 machine with a Wi-Fi NIC
1) Click on your computers start button and in the search box type “cmd” and wait for it to appear on the menu.
2) After it appears, right click on it and select “Run As Administrator”.
3) When the Black Command Prompt Opens up, type the following command and press enter
4) netsh wlan show drivers
5) You will see something like the following image. If the ‘Hosted Network Supported’ (in the red square) say ‘Yes’, it means the driver is installed and if it says ‘No’, download the drivers.
6) Once it is made sure that you have the required driver, it’s time to set it up.
7) Type netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=test key=password. Following Screen would appear. (Devices will detect network SSID as “test” change it to anything you want. Moreover, ‘key’ is your password which in this case is ‘password’, change it to whatever you want, I would suggest you to not to use numbers in password)
8 ) Then type, netsh wlan start hostednetwork. You will see the messages illustrated in the snap shot.
9) If you see the message that the ‘hosted network couldn’t be started’, then your WiFi driver is outdated, the best way to update the WiFi driver is Run you Windows Update or download the latest version from its official website.
10) Now that we have setup hosted network, we will make sure that it is shared on public Wi-Fi.
11) To do this, click on your Wi-Fi signal buttons on the bottom right hand corner of your screen.
12) Click on ‘Open Network and Sharing Center’.
13) Then click on Change adapter settings.
14) Click on the Connection that has description of ‘Your Created VPN Connection’ and right click on the Icon to go to its properties.
15) In Properties, go to ‘Sharing’ tab and check on ‘Allow Other Network User to connect through this computer…’
16) From the drop down menu of ‘Home Networking Connection’, Select the connection which had a description of ‘Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter’/’Virtula AP’ or it can be ‘Wireless Network Connection 2’ as in my case.
17) Check on the ‘Allow other network users to control or disable….’ Option as well.
18) Click ok and you are all set to go now.
19) Connect your VPN and ask your Friends or Colleague to discover your VPN enabled WiFi Connection.
20) Now, whenever you will restart your computer, your Shared WiFi connection will be disabled. You will have to reenter only the following command in the command prompt to enable it again.
netsh wlan start hostednetwork (or create a custom batch file for this, if you want to avoid reentering the command every time).
PART II
If the wi-fi direct on your phone isn't discovering your freshly created network,
you may need enable Ad Hoc connections for it.
For that I looked at an article here; but instead of Root Explorer is simply used ES Explorer:
Download this version of wpa_supplicant
Like I said, I used "ES Explorer"
• use "ES Explorer" to mount /system/bin/ and make a backup of wpa_supplicant
• rename the current one to wpa_supplicant.bak and copy the new wpa_supplicant to /system/bin
• then we need to adjust the permissions on the file to:
ticked - All options in the read and execute columns; and write column owner row
unticked - write column & group row; write column & others row.
• change /system/bin back to read only
• disable and re-enable wireless
• now your adhoc wireless network should be listed with the other wireless networks and you can connect.
After this two maneuvers, I was able to connect my phone to my laptop using my laptop's internet access and thus connecting to the VPN.
I find that the order of network activation matters.
What I mean is:
First connect to the internet (router, modem, or however that may be)
Then connect to the VPN
And then activate and connect to the hostednetwork.
I hope this helps someone, despite the fact that you have to be within wifi range of your windows machine. It's not quite the same as being on the streets and connecting to your VPN -but Android can't [consistently and reliably] connect to VPNs. And since no one replied to me here it stands to reason that no one knows how to get Android to connect to commercial VPN services (not even WiTopia's tech support).

How to connect my 4g lte modem to REMIX PC rooted version?

Hi,
How to connect my 4g lte modem(Huawei E3372) to Remix OS PC rooted version?
I have my modem connected and it isn't being detected as a modem, format usb drive is my only option. Remix OS views my USB modem as a usb drive. I tried downloading the famous PPP2 widget but it won't even start/no widget selectable from widget menu.
Any ideas of how to connect to the Internet with my modem? As it is now, the system is useless without a working network connection and a usb modem is the only way i can connect to you guys from this god forsaken place on earth. Right now i am using my smartphone's connection(WiFi), but my mobile plan is very limited. I could exchange the card in my phone and set up a hotspot but that would be too much of a hassle considering I have to have a cell phone. So, how do I use the modem attached to my PC? How can I make it work?
Thank you!

I could exchange the card in my phone and set up a hotspot but that would be too much of a hassle considering I have to have a cell phone. So, how do I use the modem attached to my PC? How can I make it work?
Thank you!

Same dongle, same problem. Had to uninstall the OS. It's a no-go since this is the only way I can connect to the Internet and I can't imagine running a second machine to tether WiFi.
There's a related thread on reddit(r/RemixOS/comments/49ahbx/how_to_connect_my_4g_lte_modem_to_remix_pc_rooted) that I'm following. Check it out!
It's frustrating! :crying:
EDIT: Just realized you're the guy from reddit. XD

There's a widget called PPP2 that works fine on many android devices but it isn't working on Remix. I submitted a post to the PPP2 forum:

Hi there! The dev of PPP2 responded to my post from yesterday saying the PPP widget won't work with our dongles(E3372) because they don't support PPP. Gotta find another way to connect.
quote:
"This is a problem of the modems used, not of the OS.
The modems mentioned do not provide a PPP port, so they don't work with PPP Widget 2."
the same problem modem huawei e3276 not working for remix os :crying:
You Guys are Right..
But I made it to work on my PC..
Now Enable USB Modem-Dongle Access in Remix OS | 2G 3G 4G support.
1. Install PPP Widget 2 or 3 version ( Ver. 2 works for me).
2. Now Disable Launcher File Mode from Experimental features in Settings
3. Now Add PPP Widget using long press in Homescreen.
4. Now allow Root Access, then Insert USB Modem along with SIM(Activate Internet Pack before).
5. Wait for Remix to Popup message to connect USB via PPP Widget. Then Press ok to continue.
6. Wait for another Popup to appear. Again Press ok to continue. It will show No SIM.
7. Now Immediately Remove PPP from Widget.
8. Add it again.
9.Now Configure your APN settings for your SIM and then Connect.
10. 100% works for most PC.
