Anyone having serial comm port issues - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

After creating and installing a new ROM based on ENG-4-00-05 using the kitchen at www.yorch.net (did this a couple of months ago), I have been unable to get either of my GPS receiver software packages (CoPilot & Pharos) to attach to the comm port. I have no problems with ActiveSync 3.7.1 which uses the same comm port. BTW, this is a Siemens SX56 running on the US AT&T network.
Both software packages seem to think that the port is unavailable, but it is NOT clear if they think the port is missing or in use by another program.
When I first discovered this problem, I did build several different ROMs just as a sanity check, but they all seem to have the same issue. Is there a problem with 4-00-05 base code? Other than this problem, I have NO problems with the new ROM code and really enjoy the new features of WM2003.
Any help will be appreciated

be sure that beams is not checked under settings/connections/beams, also the foling keyboard driver if present will grab the com1 port also, you need to disable it, it will re-enable after reset so will need to be done after each reset.

Installation of HTC USB modem driver into Windows XP
I am sorry to bother here, unfortunatelly, I have a problem. I can not install the USB driver into Windows XP on my PC. If I open an inf file, no modems are listed. I have Win XP home CZ (Czech). What could be a problem? Bad driver? Is there another driver? Thank you very much for your answer.

unfortunately
these are for an XDA II ... so we are still at the
"How can we use XDA I as a wireless modem on WM2003 (except the DE version) ?" stage.
Anyone has options or solutions. I hate to carry another GPRS phone along the XDA just to connect my laptop.

This is a great howto document but my understanding is (and I have checked on my PPC) their is no wmodem.exe software.
The problem is as follows.
The entire wmodem is using rilgsm (and the radio software part) in order to work.
So from this poin it is impossible to make it happen.
What I suggested, but since my PPC programming skills are low, is to find a program that simulates a proxy on our XDA. Meaning that the XDA is used as a gateway from the computer.
The proper definition is, i think, "reverse passthrough".
The starting point can be the Remote Control software that display the XDA image on PC ...
Anyone has seen such app ... or has it in development ?

wireless modem
i had a standard german rom as i bought my xda, and there was also no wireless modem app.
but if you install another rom, like the wm2003 one, or the special rom from xda-developers, the wireless modem app is already installed.
my problem is, when i connect my modem after a while(about 15-20 minutes) or if i open more than one webpages at the same time, the modem doesn't work anymore, and i have to reset my xda. I have tried with another handphone(nokia 6800) and it worked properly. Does anyone knoe why this happened ?

there is one from microsoft. its called remote display control. but it only work with activesync, and if the activesync connected to xda, the internet connection from the xda won't be used, instead the xda will try to connect via your pc.
Small point... if you look at benmuliono's post it was for XDA2 not XDA1...
HTC USB modem driver
Good day,
about my post, there is a misunderstanding. There is no problem with XDA I or XDA II and wireless modem application (for the present). There is a problem with a driver usbmdm.inf and its installation into the Win XP CZ, because the USBMDM.INF file is not recognized as the driver by my Win XP CZ (HTC USB modem does not appear in installation window).
Thus, if the wireless modem application is running on the XDA, the info "new hardware is detected ..." appears. Then, I want install the modem into the system, but I am not succefull.
I try to make connection with XDA II of my friend, although I am an owner of XDA I (which is shown in left side). That is probably the source of the misunderstanding.
I am looking for somebody who has similar problem or has a working driver for my system and would be so kind to send it to me ([email protected]).
Thank in advance for your help,

xda as modem for laptop
After 3 months and 463 hairs later, I have finally figured a work-around for turning our xda (1)'s into a USB modem for internet access via GPRS. I will have it available for download on my website for only $20.00 beginning 7/20/04. it will be available through PAYPAL only. (I know this is worth a lot more than twenty dollars, but I wanted everyone who wants it to be ablle to afford it.)
how
how can you demonstrate this first.
this is interesting ... but a.f.a.i.k. it is not possible.
are we talking about any WM2003 ROM and only with the wmodem software ?
F.A.I.K.
it will be available for any english wm 2003 rom , (propriatary) software pkg,
I understand the skeptisism, but will not be releasing a demo or trial version. this has always been possible as I understand it, it has just been squashed by the manufacturers and software giant. just a couple more days and everyone will be happy.
DMW
good
this will be indeed great. i'm close to buy an expensive pcmcia GSM card for my laptop but this will be a great alternative.
can you tell me this:
* the pc will use all ports for connexions (not limited lika a proxy) ?
* will the receive function be disabled or when a call comes it just suspend data and allow call ?
* do we need to install software on xda and pc too ?
* are there any inconveniences from your point of view ?
* can you at least post some screenshots or anything "tangible"
* what transfer rate have you achieved ?
Thanks for your ideea and making it practical.
?
i guess that no news is bad news.
so be it!
XDAII i modem failure
hello frns, i am getting a strange error since 2 days it says"error:692,
hardware failure of the connecting modem"
i am using my XDAIIi PPC to access net on my PC. i have installed the HTC
USB modem for the device.
when i run the query it works fine and give erything in success but when i
try to dial it gives me the above error. i was able to connect it before
but now it is not working.
i am having airtel postpaid connection in M.P.
also before i used to get the connection light up in the wireless modem
dialog on my PPC but even that is not there now. please help me with that.
wht should i do to get the net running up again. i there any other drivers

usbmodem for xdaIIi
Thank you, got the USBMDM from here. the files above is still working. AFtet install it the setup is done till finish. No problem, it works on my ppc. Now I don't to worry getting into the net via my xdaIIi.
Wow, this is really great. I'm using the MDA Vario to connect to the internet.
Works great!!!
possible fix for "Error 692"
@puneet_84:
I too followed the installation instructions exactly, but had Error 692. After extensive web-searching, found the solution. Hope it works for you - it did for me. (But no guarantee!)
http://www.ppcsg.com/index.php?showtopic=78789
On trial and errors testing out various config changes I found that the key cause of my XP popping out the Error 692 is when I disabled Modem Compression at any end whether one and not the other or both (meaning the setting at modem properties in the Control Panel and the modem properties in the Dialup networking sections).
The fact is Modem Compression must be enabled on the Control Panel modem properties for the HTC USB modem and the modem properties in the corresponding dialup networking configuration.

MMS Composer working with German T-Mobile MDA1 (with PW2003)

I have upgraded my MDA1 from T-Mobile Germany with the actually
downloadable PW2003 Upgrade.
Unfortunately the MMS-Composer (Arcsoft) isn't integrated.
Who knows where to get it with all necessary components included
an has successfully installed yet.
My first test with a received version "MMS Composer v1.6.0.9" failed.
The installation went well, but the application doesn't start.
I get an error message like "some components or libraries missing"
thanks for any help.

Hi Biso007
I have read this topic carefully an this also th source, where I dowlnloaded the software. but
I didn't work. the programm does not start. there must be something missing (runtime library or so)
The only difference is that you have a german ROM ... mine is 4.01.00 ENG and this s/w works with no problems at all.
What do you mean by the s/w doesn't start ? ... err message ??
Also, can you see the plugin on Today screen ? ... make sure it's checked and do a soft reset.
I get an error-message by trying to launch the mms-composer
It shows am error-message, saying that there are some components or libraries missing an ist not possible to start the programm.
I can see the plugin in the start-screen.
I did also softresets, but no way.
I believe many applications use standard system DLLs which may have different names in each ROM ... unless you have deleted one of those DLLs by mistake, it seems the German ROM requires special version of the MMS composer.
If you really don't have much on your device and ready to the hassle of reinstalling everything, try a hard reset then install the MMS composer.
I had the same trouble, same error. I'm using Australian O2 XDA with a jsummer brewed ROM 4.00.11 (Non Tmobile) Radio 4.21
Is a 3 part install able version on the forum too. It runs but installs "connections". I wasn't able to set it up to send or recieve MMSes tho.
Yeah, it messed up all connections setting ... I had to do the setup from scratch ... you have to get your operators settings for both GPRS and MMS
I am also looking for a working tool, well at least i found a installable (not in rom) version of EzOS 2.5...
MfG, Michael
Finally I got the Arcsoft MMS-Composer working.
It was necessary to install also the camera dll, even if the qtek1010 doesn't have a camera.
(compare topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=7466)
Sending MMS runs now very fine, but i still can't receive them.
does anyone know why?

Wireless USB Modem on WM5

Hey Guys,
I'm running WM5, 1.50g for more than a week now.
Its simply wonderful.
there are some compatibiltiy issues witih the S/Ws now; but that'll be there. we were able to use this OS before the release thats the big thing.
I'm looking for two piece of info here.
1> Wireless USB modem is not working - does anyone have any idea? inputs on this? (i didnt try to mix this topic with non-woking buttons; hope thats okay and we can close the topic as soon as its resolved)
2> I'm on 1.50g now and able to use large amount of storage mem. I was running 1.60a earlier and cud not use large mem (just about 14M for storage) where I had to store all my email data and the loaded S/Ws. due to the space crunch; I had to come back to 1.50g.
As the 1.60a is faster (i heard so - cud not test and fall back to 1.50g imm.) and i'd like to go for that. Does anyone has got any idea how to make use of the 120MB memory in 1.60a to be used for my email storage and to be able to load S/Ws and data on it?
Thanks in advace.
Wireless USB modem on WM5
hey guys,
just reviewing whether anyone has contributed!
I saw another thread "Warning WM5 1.60a and Extended _rom" and I think, I can get around a way on how to make use of that 120mb program memory in 1.60a and i'll definitely going to try that once I hv the steps with me.
as regards the Wireless USB Modem; I think i'm the only person who's facing this issue or may be fewer ppl. if anyone's using I-mate PPC phone with WM5 with working application (wireless USB modem) please share ur configuration with me.
thanks.
Updating the topic to expand the audiance and expacting at least one response
:lol:
I am also having a problem with the USB Modem... It says "com open error (8)"
hello Duan,
have u found any resolution yet?
Nope... And after searching around the net I still have had no success.
Hey Guys,
I'm switching back to the WM2K3 SE now. I think its high time; we do not have any idea about the USB modem functionalities that's most important while we use the device as a modem while away from home or office.
I was okay with Camera, Record and all other facilities not available. I'm not in for all those flashy features but I have to have my Voice and Data connectivity inplace thats more than important for me anytime.
So, Guys; please please let me know once we have a solution for the Wireless USB / BT modem.
Thanks.
Wireless Modem on WM5
Went back to the 1.60b now coz i thought I have now got the BT adapter / dongle.
However, I'm not able to use the BT wireless modem with the adapter itself.
as I said.. as soon as i start the wireless modem application the signal indicator doesnt show the cross mark on it and continue show the signal strength. otherwise I think my lappy is able to detect the phone and everything works fine except the modem application.
I downgraded to a couple of versions of SE now (I have now forgotten how many times I flashed my device - guys let me know if its harmful to flash the device multiple times - now a days its about almost everyday I flash my device, thanks to my exch servr that hold my data). I tried 2.20SE I also tried the latest one thats been converted to english by Buzz and tried to start the BT modem application - no luck - same symptoms.
and again I flashed my device with 1.60b (along with the DCR ). However, the BT modem or USB modem issue is not resolved.
I'd really appreciate if someone can help me with the Modem application PLEAZEEE - PLEAZEE.
THANKS A LOT IN ADVANCE --
Yeah forgot to tell ya - I'm using iMate Pocket PC Phone Edition.
Guys, please try this configuration on WM5 as bluetooth modem, remove any connection on 'My Isp', start wireless modem application & dial...
FYI, I use 1.06b rom & billionton usb dongle. Btw I can't determine which modem type it use (cell line / gprs / etc.).

while i have not gotten the wireless modem to work, i have successfully started and seen the connection icon turn yellow. having written that, i started getting the "com open error" after adding com ports under bluetooth set-up. deleting those ports under bluetooth eliminated the error for usb in wireless modem application.
separately, in order to see the modem in my phone & modem control panel, i had to press start in wireless modem prior to tethering the device to my thinkpad.
btw, i am running wm5 on a ppc6700 (cdma/ev-do version of the htc apache, i believe.)

[UTIL] HTC's Official TP GPS Hotfix

HTC has realesed a Hotfix for TP's GPS problems...
Still haven't test it, but what have you, Chef's, to say about it?...
On HTC's Support page:
Software Download
This software is suitable for the following devices : HTC Touch Pro
Hotfix for resolving difficulties finding or locating a position when using GPS for HTC Touch Pro Release Date: 2009-05-25
If it is difficult to find or locate a position when using GPS, please download this hotfix to solve the problem.
Installation Instructions:
Follow the instructions below to download and install the hotfix on your device:
Make sure you have Microsoft ActiveSync® installed on your Windows XP PC or Windows Mobile Device Center on your Windows Vista® PC. You can find Microsoft ActiveSync from this link or Windows Mobile Device Center from this link.
Connect and synchronize your device with your PC via Microsoft ActiveSync® or Windows Mobile Device Center using the USB cable.
To download this hotfix select the hotfix below and the location closest to you then click Download.
Copy the hotfix, which is an .exe file, to your device. To install the hotfix, tap the .exe file and follow the on-screen instructions.
Note: If you perform a device hard reset, you will need to reinstall the hotfix after the hard reset.
So where did this come from? Would be nice to have more information than what you've currently posted, please elaborate..
In addition, most of the newer roms have the aGPS working, so the gps issue is a moot point.
Which GPS problem I wonder, I can think of 4, one being aGPS (which works great now after 5.08 AT&T)
There's also the issue of 'speed lag' and then the issue of 'position lag', and finally the issue of 3rd party gps programs not showing satellites/losing fix every xxx seconds/etc.
/me snags the goodies

Updated first post...
Anyone actually worked out what this does yet?
Ok, so this installs cleangpsdata.exe to \Windows (same ver that can be found on blackstone and other stock msm 72xx ROMS)
It copies a link into \windows\startup (same as the cleangpsdata package from blackstone does)
The functionality of the cleangpsdata program is simple, it opens the GPS0: hardware port and sends an IOCTL to wipe out the stored epheremis and other cached data in the chipset's NVRAM.
The problem this is intended to fix would seem to be extremely long startup times for gps (due to bad cached data that needs to be cleaned out)
With aGPS functioning it should have no effect; without aGPS it should only have an effect if your cached gps data gets corrupted for some reason and a quickgps re-download/re-inject won't fix it.
i'm wondering if it's works with WM6.5
So as a chef, would you recommend cooking in this fix and executing it in config operator or just cooking in clean gps and creating the startup link in app.dat??
Same effect either way (cleangpsdata as a package, i.e. from blackstone or this hotfix .exe)
I used to cook it in prior to aGPS being fixed.
Also, there's no relation to WM 6.5 with this hotfix, it talks to gpsdriver.dll, which is compiled independantly of the OS.
In addition, if you snag the latest HTC GPS Tool, there's a "Cold Start" menu option in it - sends the same IOCTL!
I do not use aGPS and am a bit scred to install this hotfix
I'm in Canada...I have no assistance server for AGPS...so would this help?
well I just tried installing it on my fuze which runs energyrom 3.0 the May 22nd build and it says "incorrect version, this hotfix is not compatible with your device.
Re: Not having an assistance server for AGPS
There are several publicly accessible servers available, check out the agps thread, as long as you have a data plan you should have no problem getting agps working with a few registry tweaks

Check your \windows folder; you probably already have cleangpsdata cooked in.
are you guys (who are using this hotfix) having the data plan?
or do you have entire map saved on the storage card?
Not that I've bad reception but after all this time from htc to post an answer to gps issue I had to install it and tried it..
Did not tested yet, tomorrow will post if I see any difference! Maybe it will take longer, cause it cleans the gps data all the time i reset. Or am I wrong?
@zenithcoolest: I use maps always on storage card... Data Plan is expensive and it's impossible to use with frequency!

IPAQ HX2750 Wireless Drivers Missing

I upgraded to Spiaatie WM6.5 v3 - I get this message when I turn on my hx2750 - 'Unrecognized Card'
In the HP Wi-Fi Manager the link status says - 'Driver Not Loaded'
and in the version tab all three fields in the wireless LAN Information say
'Driver Not Loaded'
I have tried reinstalling v2 which worked before - Same problem and not all aspects of v3 removed such as the start up screen.
I have installed a wm6.1 version and this still did not solve the problem.
I have also tried going back to wm2003 from the HP site and again still missing drivers.
NONE of these options have worked.
I have searched all sorts of forums and even though others have had this problem NO solution has been posted.
Is this a hardware, Software or Registry problem?
If will test any options provided as I would really like to get it working again.
Any solution found will be posted in detail.
Many thanks in advance.
It would appear that if you went back to WM5 and even WM2003 and it still does not work then it's possible its a hardware issue. You may be out of luck with software fixing it. I'm running it with no problem and have not heard of anyone else having these issues. Especially with every version of software.
Thanks for getting back to me. I guess I will try taking it apart and seeing if any wires have come loose.
I anyone has any suggestions as to what to look for that would be good.
or if anyone has any other ideas as to how I might fix this please let me know.
I might go in Ebay and see if I can get a cheep Compact flash wireless card but would prefer not to as I use that to store data and music on while I use the SD card for Programs and TomTom data
Thanks
Update
OK took my Ipaq apart and got it back together without killing it
No luck though still no wireless.

File up0015.cab
Here is the file you are looking for.
I have seen the same problem with the "driver not loaded" message on my
HX2790. Solved the problem by doing a hard reset if I remember correctly.
Since I haven't used this file myself I must stress that using it is at your own risk.
The file was made by the great cook Yurrix and can also be found on his website. That is where I got it from.
Website is: http://all2me.blogspot.com/2008/02/15.html
Hope this helps.
Greetz Rowley.
Update
Hi
Many thanks for the file.
However unfortunatly it did not work.
In my settings screens it updated my Network Adapter list to include a SAMSUNG WLAN CF CARD (SWL-23x0)
Did a Hard reset after - Calendar + Message + Power and reset - to get to Formating PS screen.
Now Network Adapter list says HP iPAQ Wi-Fi Adapter
However the HP Wi-Fi Manager says
Status - Link Status - Driver Not Loaded
Version - Wireless LAN Infromation - Driver Version: Driver Not Loaded
F/W Version : Driver Not Loaded
MAC Address : Driver not Loaded.
I then ran the inbuilt self test. This seems to give a false result if I test only the Wi-Fi it hangs but if I test it with other items it says it passes. But i don't believe it.
I now think my card is dead as someone told me earlier.
But I had to try.
Thanks to all who helped.
Here is the 0016wifi cab made by Yurrix.
same problem
Same problem as above, but I tried switching wireless cards with another hx2795 (one that won't charge the battery) and found they both work (just not connecting through the software or possible hardware path). I applied both the xxx15 fix and the xxx16wifi fix and neither one works.
if I can't find the answer, I will just have to use one as a battery charger and the other as my pda. . .
if anyone knows of a fix, please let me know.
thanks
