Hi,
Im also interested in using SatNav, I have a MDA Vario! (Also very much a novice!!). Just to clear things up, do you need a seperate Bluetooth GPRS receiver? I thought this phone could receive GPRS?
Also ive read somewhere about enabling the GPRS on the phone, is there something else i need to do?!!

The phone doesn't have a built in GPS receiver, so "yes, you need a separate BT receiver". Make sure you get one that is SIRF III. The phone DOES have built in GPRS, but GPS and GPRS are different.

I have a TomTom Go 910 and an M3100 running WM6.
I have been using the hands-free BT connection with no problem.
However, I recently tried to set up a data connection to access TomTom Plus services through the phone over BT, and the setup routine fails every time. (I have no problem connecting to the internet over WAP from the phone in general).
Of course, TomTom support refuse to help, telling me that the phone is not supported for the 910. According to them I should not even be able to use the hands-free feature...
Before I go spending hours trying different ROMs and BT stacks etc., does anyone out there have the same setup (even with a 710 or 510) and got it to work? (No point wasting time if they are simply not compatible and no one has actually got it to work).
Thanks for your help
My very basic guess is that you need to use the Internet Connection Sharing program on windows mobile, as just paring the devices won't do anything.
So I guess I fire ICS up and and choose Bluetooth PAN and then try to see if TomTom sees it.?
I'll try tonight and report back.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Let us know how it goes. But isn't WM6 lacking either PAN or DUN that's required to establish the connection?
No luck using ICS

Well, I tried it... no luck. TomTom still insists on going through a DUN setup routine (entering access point, GPRS dial-up number, etc.) and promptly fails both with automatic and manual setup. It does not detect the PAN already running with ICS connected.
I wonder if DUN can be ported back to WM6 with CABs from WM5?
Any other ideas?
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
Is it possible to use ICS with wifi connection instead of cellular connection? Would be useful for a makeshift wireless adapter if your regular NIC or wireless NIC fails.
It seems that even if I have a wifi connection already going and then I launch ICS and connect, it still tries to dial out and use the cellular connection. You would think if it can share cellular data it could share wifi data just as easily but maybe im missing something.
Back in the early days of WiFi internet sharing the private interface was changed to WiFi with a manual registry edit. It might be possible to change the public interface to USB instead of defaulting too the cellular radio. It would probably take a fair amount of troubleshooting, but I'd think it would be possible. I think the entries were at HKLM\Comm\ConnectionSharing. Might be a starting point...
Search for WMWifiRouter
WiFiRouter
WiFiRouter works by making your ppc into a virtual access point. Then you can share the internet through it.
Last time I looked however, the author had withdrawn the program from circulation at version 0.91. There must be some problems with it because the author indicated that he would release a new version once he ironed out some bugs. If it is not back in distribution yet, you might be still able to find it on a torrent site. If not, PM me and I will send you the cab. Some of the cab collections at ppcgeeks ftp have it inside too. One good collection to check is Alex's.
I have used it and it works.

wmwifirouter is not what he's looking for. That is still using your phones internet. He wants to see how he could use the phone as a Network card, using the wifi connection, as oppossed to the sprintpcs connection.
I too would be very interested in this happening, if anyone knows of a way please tell.
ok, but why ??
Why would you actually want to do this anyway ??? I will look into it but it makes no sense when a USB WiFi dongle is $30 or so and does not run your phone down to use it, why would you want to use your phone as a very expensive USB WiFi card ??? Maybe I am missing some golden benefit ????
I dont get it either, but he did say in an emergency if your wifi went out.
Thank you for the responses.
Yes, it would be useful if your wireless nic went out (or regular nic for that matter) just to have something to use for the moment. Or maybe you brought your computer to a friends house and hes out of ports or you dont want to run 50ft cable to his kitchen table
But the titan has wireless, it has internet sharing, why doesnt the wireless show up in the list of available networks? I'm not saying its an all important feature but it would be yet another cool thing your phone could do.
i looking to use my mogul as a wifi access point (sharing Spint Vision thru wifi)
i tryed the procedure to mod the registry to enable it but i cant get it to work.
anyone know the exact procedure for the mogul
btw i also checked out WMWifiRouter...looks like it's no longer free
I also wanna know
Look the idea is simple. So where is the phone ICS telling it to use the celluar line and not allowing the option of the wifi?
Pls any one contact me. Its a cool feature for a phone

I bought software called Walking Hotspot, which essentially turns my Mogul/Titan into something like a Mifi, sharing my cellular data with my laptop. Otherwise known as tethering.
I only use it for emergencies because I am not sure if Sprint can tell that I am tethering. I believe if Sprint detects unauthorized tethering they will charge 4 cents per kilobyte of data .. which is very harsh!

I downloaded and installed the 6.1 with gps. I was curious is there any programs that lets you use the htc 6800 as a gps unit to connect to your laptop. Like say I'm using google earth or any other program on the laptop, Is there a program that would let me connect the htc to the laptop to use it as the gps device?
ppc 6800 and using as external GPS (bluetooth with laptop for example)

I found GPS2Blue works decently. Works either via Bluetooth or TCP connection, check site for more details.

Thanks tim, I gave that program a try, works great.
I have another question, Does anyone know of a program that would send gps data to a website to monitor where you are? For example, I'm taking a road trip to my mother's about 500 miles away. I want her to be able to monitor on my trip progress over the web. So as I'm driving my phone can upload my gps data to a website so she can track it without annoying me with phone calls while I'm driving.
I used to have this on a rig with a gps device and a Kenwood radio. I would send packet data through the radio and have a site to display my postion. I havn't really had a radio in a while. I thought someone might of came up with something like this.
Sprite Terminator might do the job for you... one of its features is locating your phone via GPS

Well I gave that program a try, I don't think it's compatible with wm6.1. When I send the text commands to get the info back. My phone doesn't send the text message back to me.
thanks for the suggestion though, was worth a try.
sorry, i actually have not had the chance to try it. i know the thread i found it in they were speaking about adding it to a kitchen. hopefully we will have support for the program soon
GPS tracking (road trips etc)

Hi Michael, found a free service that should do the trick. http://www.mologogo.com/
That's the best free one I found for active updating of GPS location while traveling with main focus on friend's/family/etc GPS tracking in real-time. Wish you a safe trip and good luck!
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.
