I just bought my xda and slowly am starting to get familiar with what it can do and cannot.
When trying to establish an IrDa connection with another portable phone I get the message that it can´t be done while the xda is connected to a desktop computer. Only I don´t have it connected to a desktop right now.
I tried to activate the IrDa connection through the "extras " button in the active sync menu. The xda got stuck each time and I have to do a soft reset. Can someone help me please?
i have recently updated to the WM2003 rom and noticed that there was a a CSD settings under connection settings. I was wondering how i can use my xda to connect my computer to the internet. do i have to buy additional cables or is the sync cradle enough.
Could someone also teach me how to use this feature
thanks in advance

you have to use wmodem s/w in PPC2002 only, it doesn't exist in any WM2003 ROM except the german ones or in XDA II
Exactly, as Bisc007 says, it can only be done with wmodem with some extra string settings on PC, or using serial cable and software available from wiki. XDA does not dial wireless connection while connected to PC by Activesync.
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 have already download the new w2k5 to my XDAII and now I can´t wyncronize it via USB with the new ActiveSync 4.0
I have tried via infrared and it works, but when i put my XDA II in the credle, and I try to do it via USB it doesn´t works... Any idea?¿
Thanks
are u sure the File/Connection settings/allow USB connection is checked??!!! :wink:....... otherwise,u cannot synchronise via USB...
RAGO :lol:
Yes, everything it´s ok
I don´t know what could it be... Maybe reinstalling activesync 4.0...
thanks 4 all.
The problem with the USB conection of my xda II and activesync 4.0 still kickin´...
I have read something abaut the same problem in another post? Or it´s just a dream?
Thanks.
It's kinda strange what's happening with u... :?
Now am not sure,but try the following:
*u must have service pack 2 installed(it's a prerequisite)
1-on ur mobile:go to active sync/menu/connections check synchronize all PCs using this connection,and in the window tab below choose USB.
2-try changing the USB port on ur PC.
3-try restarting ur PC,and ur mobile as well...
4-make sure the File/Connection settings/allow USB connection is checked
5-make sure ur cable is functionning well(try another device if u can,or another cradle if possible)
Good luck....
RAGO :lol:
I´m trying to synchronize in a IBM T21 Laptop... Maybe USB 2.0 not soported? Does anybody knows if ActiveSync 4.0 and wm2k5 only works with USB 2.0 ?
Many Thanks
spend some time today to make it work.
first check on device manager if under network adapters exist "windows mobile-based device" and is ok (not with ! sign),
then go to control panel at network and internet connection > network connection.if you have network card there will be one local area connection (or maybe much depend how many network cards have in pc).when conected pocketpc (wm2005) will create another local area conection,connect and disconect to see what number have ex. local area connection 2.right click properties then better tick on show icon on notification area to see what is about connection.go to advanced windows firewall >settings.at general tab turn off,at advanced tab unmark this area connection only,( I want to say to unmark local area connection 2 or what number have this connection between pocketpc and pc) leave marked other local area conection (if is present) to keep protect your pc from outside.press ok in that window,now you are back in properties page check at general tab >tcp/ip protocol > properties to be selected obtain an ip address automatically press ok ok again. now in pocketpc go to start > settings > connections > network cards here select connect to "work" and adapter remote-ndis host select "use server assigned ip address" ok ok again.dissconect and connect pocketpc to pc.look at taskbar right-down corner of monitor,near clock,you should see appear network connection icon.first time at every connection between two little monitor will be a red dot going from one to another,in this time computere search for dhcp server to receive ip address,in short time (4-5-6 seconds) link will be active icon will be clear not fading like previous and the two monitors will blink.if this is not happened check on control panel > Performance and Maintenance > Administrative Tools > services if dhcp client is started,if not start it manual and change startup type to automatic.if until now everything is ok disconnect pocket pc, dezinstall old version of active sync install version 4.0 build 4343 restart pc.after pc started up connect pocketpc to pc,it should work.if still not work dezinstall active sync and from control panel uninstall windows mobile-based device disconect pocketpc restart pc install active sync and connect pocketpc,in this way windows reinstall networ driver and now must work ok.
btw I forgot to tel to check at active sync allow usb connection.
good luck.
Thank you very much for everything gabiz_ro.
Ok, I´m going to tell you what I have realized trying to follow your instructions.
Firstable I don´t have that you call:"windows mobile-based device" Or I didn´t find it... I have looked at Lan or Internet connection.
Then, I have tried to find out the conection that you talk abaut that it must be created when I connect my PPC, but I didn´t find it too. I tried to find it conecting the XDA II via USB and via Infrareds (remember that via IRDA does works)
Finally I changed at my PPC what you say abaut remote ndis host, I saved it, and disconnected and connected again, but it didn´t appear anything at taskbar right-down corner of monitor...
I don´t know what to do... And I´m sure that the problem is hosted the new activesync 5.0 or in wm2k5, cause one hour ago, when I came back to w2003se, I synchronized the ppc correctly with the credle via USB...
I´m feeling very weird with it, cause when I put the PPC in the credle (with wm2k5 and actvesync 4.0) the normal sound of the PC when you connect something reconigzed, don´t sounds... what I hear is the double "tun tun" that sounds when you connect something not recognized.
Many thanks
wm2003 is identified by windows as usb device.
but wm2005 like a network connection.
first
right click on "my computer" > properties > hardware > device manager.expand network adapters,and here when conected pocketpc to usb you'll see "windows mobile-based device"
second
local area conection 2 (or other number,in raport with how many network cards are installed on pc) you''l find in start > control panel > network and internet conection > network connection.but appear only when xda is connected if xda is disconected that "local area connection" dissapear too,and xda must be identified and driver installed (windows mobile-based device show without any ! symbol in control panel).infrared connection will not work here.on that local area network who represent connexion between pc and xda right click > properties and mark show icon on notification area.....
if you hear other sound like you say,maybe xda is not identified or windows didn't install corect driver.take a look to see in control panel what is wrong.expand universal serial bus to see if ther is some unknow device or something wrong.
there is control panel print-screen and taskbar area prinscreen.
Ok!
I think that finally thanks to you we have discovered the problem...
I don´t have everything you talk abaut in the device list...
But what I have is this: Generic RNDIS (PROTOTYPE- Remembber to change id Vendor)
It is with the yellow alert icon.
But what could I do to put it right?
thanks
YEEEEEEEEEEES!
Problem FIXED!
That was the problem... It was not recognized, and with alert yellow icon... Thank you very much gabiz_ro, if you´ll didn´t helped me, now I would be changing back to w2003se
Thank you very much again
ok.
glad to can help.

Hi, All. Anyone HELP ME pls.

And I saw on PC Device Manager -> Unknown Windows Mobile Device.(Generic RNDIS (PROTOTYPE--Remember to change idVendor)
How can I fix this Problem? :?:
re-install drivers for this device

Hoe installeer je de drivers opnieuw. Volgens mij heb ik die niet
Groetjes
Frenske :lol:
Yes, everything what you need to do, is to click on update drivers, and everything will be fixed
Best Regards

Windows cannot find this driver...
But I fixed this problem, whereas after than my device is dead. (not working radio, calendar, bluetooth etc...)
Now WM2005 is not good working on XDA II.

Greetings pocket pc freaks
i am really tired from a problem with my hd2 i can‘t connect my hd2 with pc (( usb cable )) i did every thing and i couldnt recognize it i am really desperate can anybody help ?
Might
help if you mention what Windows/system you are running on your pc
the operation system is windows 7
Do
you have the Windows Mobile Device Center installed?
Have you tried a Disk Drive connection, under connections USB to PC?
I do know for a fact some people simply solved the problem just by using another USB port...
Might be worthwhile checking your firewall too, I believe some can block the active sync connection

thank you for your post i did everything you wrote the problem still my hd2 doesnt recognize to my pc i am planning to sell my phone because og this
Havent used WP7 yet, but in WM6.x there is something in Settings for USB connection - this gives you the ability to check a box that says (something like) Fast Outlook connection. If you uncheck this you will probably find that your HTC connects beautifully. So, again, trawl through your setup/settings and look for something that talks to USB connection, or PC Synch.
Hope this helps.
Uninstall all versions of Windows Mobile Device Centre then reboot, just install the latest update from of WMDC from Microsoft and plug your HD2 in.
It worked for me and I'd tried everything else.

I'm having the same problem also, but I am using Windows Vista. I tried just about everything the forum mentions its pretty frustrating. I've tried uninstalling and installing WMDC and tried different USB ports, also tried selecting a few of the different settings on the phone in the USB to PC. Does anyone know what possibly I am missing or not doing correctly?

I number of my friends had the same problem concerning the connection and when they did the above it fixed the problem. I suggest everyone give it a go.
Still having problems with this... I've uninstalled rebooted and installed and reboot WMDC and also messed with all the settings on USB to PC and tried every single USB port on my computer. I am running Windows Vista 64 bit version and still not having any luck getting this phone to connect via USB. Anyone have any ideas?
