Hi,
I had a query. I use GPRS to surf the internet from my qtek 2020. I want to know If I can surf on my pc using ppc (GPRS) via the USB cradle, since I don't have serial cable.
I have read lots of discussions to surf the net on ppc using pc via lan/USB etc, but none where it says how I can use a USB cradle for the reverse process.
The reason for this is, I have unlimited usage scheme for my GPRS connection. (RS. 500 per month approx. 8-9 euros only). It is much cheaper than broadband connections, therefore I'd rather connect on my pc using ppc.
Thanks

if your xda2 have wireless modem installed then you can surf from your pc using the usb cable or bluetooth or seriel or what ever you like
Problem with Modem
Hi,
I'm trying to connect to the web via GPRS through USB and IR, but I am having no luck...
I have followed the instructions and used the files on the XDA official website, but everytime I try I get a message like error 732 or "could not connect to your device" the PDA flashes yellow for a few second before the error message...
Anyone elese had this problem? Is there a solution or do I need to upgrade OS? I still have a 1.53... Orange
Thanks,
Chris
read thumper's post he looks like he can get it to work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=9770
maybe he got some idears
I can now use my PPC as a Wireless modem with Ir
Thank Rudegar!
I read the post... at the beginning seemed out of topic, but then I have found the clue!!!
I think the proble was releted to the use of the SPB GPRS software... I could coonect to the GPRS service from the phone, but not using it as a modem... maybe we should tell it to the SW producer?
I also found out, strange, that the dialing string (the one with the APN" was within an extra set of "" which I don't remember to have inserted...
ANYWAY NOW IT WORKS!
Next step is to get it to work through USB... is that SW was the problem I'll have a positive answer soon!
Thanks again,
Chris

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!!!

I am using an XDA2 with a newly upgraded 1.60.00WWE ROM and was really pleased to see the update to Bluetooth to allow serial connections in this release.
I have a fax application on my laptop and want to connect the comport on the laptop to the BT comport on the XDA2
I click on the new checkbox 'Inbound Com Port' and everything seems well.
If I set up a dialup networking connection to an ISP, or try to fax, the port opens successfully but no data is passed from the XDA back to the PC, so the PC always thinks there is a hardware failure.
The same connection works well with a Nokia (but who wants to use a Nokia?
Anyone else having this problem, or can anyone offer some advice to get this running?

Hello every one ,
Right so now that my SX 56 has been fixed and upgraded to WM 2003,i've got one question:
Is it compatible with those wireless wifi SD cards?
or is the model to old?
many thanx geniouses !!
No, you need an SDIO slot which these handsets don't have. Sorry.
Check this out then, i don't understand, according to this site it is compatible! http://www.pdassistant.net/Siemens/SX56.htm
"Siemens SX56 GPS capable PDA"
judging from this too then most likely they got it a bit wrong
dutr it's gps capable but only if you get an wired external
gps dongle which well does everything gpsWise and send info
over the serial port
in which case many many things are GPS capable
my old 486 pc in the attic too it have a comport too
ok so if i got it right , the update from WM2002 to WM2003 FINAL was useless if i can't use the network card option in the connections menu.
i 'm just trying to find a way to connect to the wireless internet!!
with wallaby the only have to connect it using usb to a pc which have wifi
and access it's wifi using activesync

The wallaby has no WiFi hardware. Nor can you use an SDIO WiFi card, the hardware simply does not support SDIO devices. You can use GPRS, the datacable or infrared (wouldn't recommend this since you'd have to maintain constant line of site).
So how do i do this with GPRS then cause i can 't seem to get internet explorer
recognise any WAP or WEB pages , even thought i 've got the right settings,
many thanks
hi Guys ,
I come to you as a friend in need, I have a serious problem bwith the internet sharing on my ameo, as you can see I am on it now typing this, but I can't for the life of me get it to share the connection, I don't have a bluetooth dongle for it, so its usb all the way, here is what happens:
my pc running windows xp doesn't have a modem attached, only thing connected to it network wise is my playstation 3, I don't have the interet at home, hence wanting to use the ameo for the connection.
plug the ameo in, bink active sync goes on, leave it to sync, then I have tried a couple of things to no avail, just hitting internet sharing then, ameo dumps the usb connection then restarts it, nadda no I-net explorer, nothing pinging
I have tried starting the sharer before connection the usb lead nadda,
is there a set of setup needs I am blatantly missing? everyone seems to jus say they plug it in and it works, but I can't seem to get over this hurdle.
perhaps its simply a network setting on windows?
Can anyone thinks they can help suggest something I am doing wrong? even if it sounds obvious to u I might just be missing something simple
ps I am running pk dual touch
Many thanks in advance
Peter
hmm, just did a soft reset and now its working....hmm...
would still like to know what caused it, i turned off advanced usb features could that have made it start working?
whats that for anyways?
Peter
I get this sometimes, the ameo acts as a DHCP server and assigns the computer an IP addy, sometime however it does not assign an addy and so there can be no data transfer !! a simple reset of the ameo appears to sort it every time !!
i always found that the modem link, Wireless modem and Internet sharing applications always worked better if you activate them BEFORE connecting the USB cable.
Either that or the dodgy power supply on my USB hub is causing the problem!!! :-D

I completely agree, connecting the service before connecting the USB is much more reliable
PS did you guys know that we aren`t supposed to be able to do this, apparently to connect to your laptop you are supposed to use web and walk pro at £12.50 per month not just web and walk my mate can`t do this through his nokia cos it does not support internet connection sharing
well this problem happened to me today..what i did was right click my network places and disabled the LAN.coz win xp was choosing my LAN as default.once i disabled it it chose my athena and wala i got internet sharing.hth
I try to share my sprint touch pro's internet to pc by Internet shareing in conn mgr.When I click connect ,it try to connect ,then the status show check usb cable connection.And then report error ,and ask me to check my username and password.But I just can connect to internet in my phone.Anybody got ideas for this?Thanks!
1 - Do you connect your phone to the internet using your data plan?
2 - Do you tell Internet Sharing to use your Sprint connection and USB cable?
3 - When you get the message to check your USB connection, do you make sure your phone is connected to the PC with a USB cable?
1、Yes
2、How to tell Internet Shareing to use Sprint connetion?
3、Yes,I have connected the pc and my phone with usb cable already.
Now,I do active data connection by hand through conn mgr, and the status now could be waiting for network.but when I try access internet from pc the error still exists and cannot connect
ICS on

So, I've noticed that flashing with the recent update (http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=195&cat=2&dl_id=683) from HTC for Sprint Touch Pro kills the hack* used to circumvent Phone As Modem. The steps used for the Touch Pro 2 do not work, either: there is no CM_Guardian or HTC_CM_Guardian in any of the registry (there is a HTC_CM_Guardian process running, though and the file is in the Windows root dir, protected of course).
*Entails deleting the registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\settings\ForceCellConnection
Thanks dwellman.It works now.
BTW,what is the Sprint Touch Pro MR?
I meant to say: has anyone found a work around-- short of flashng a custom ROM or rolling back-- to the problem? The problem being that there seems to be no way to tether the Touch Pro with the new updte from HTC.
[UPDATE]
Aha! See, juggling multiple forums is taking it's toll, but I found what I was looking for: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=88014.
Hopefully this will work. I haven't tested it yet, but I wanted to go ahead and put this in as well as flesh out the post to make the indexers find it better-- I've been searching for about 5 days.
Most of the problem with the Internet Sharing connection is because the Internet connection Sharing in the Windows Device Manager is disable. Press Enable button and problem solved.
If the internet is not connected by any reason verify always in Device manager.
