Hi all,
I recently flashed my X01HT used with Softbank Japan network.
I did a normal procidure
1. flash the ROM using HTC official Wm06.
It has been flashed perfect. no issues in flashing.
2. loading the Softbank AP settings.
I used the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298031&page=2&highlight=ConnSBM for getting the softbank AP settings.
these settings were working fine. without any issues. Then later i used my home Wifi lan, and then the pocket IE is not working. even if the wifi connection is connected IE give a messege "The page cannot be found. Check the name and try again."
most interesting part is, I installed opera for ppc at this point and its working fine.
When i try to connect to windows live, its connecting to gprs (which is working and connecting to server) eventhough the wifi connections is there and connected.
Now, if i delete the AP settings at this point. I can use wifi again.
at the same time now, when i try to loginn into the windows live, its give me a big error stating that the connection is not allowing me to access internet and check the settings with your service provider.
In short,
with the HTC official wm06,
I would like to use wifi connection when at home,
on the move i want to use softbank ap settings,
and i want to use windows live at home and on the move and should use the available wifi connection first, and if not available use the gprs.
guys help me, let me know if there is a sequence in which i sould be doing this or simthing like that.
POF ur the bestt person to ans this i guess.!!!
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!

Hello all, I have the xv6800, dcd rom 3.3.4 and activesync and internet sharing setup on Windows just fine. However, I have recently gotten a MAC, and I have not been able to get the internet sharing to work via BT or USB. I can understand BT cause I was never able to get it set up on windows either. I don't mind the USB connection, it's alwasy been more stable and a snap to set up with the ROM. However I can't get it working on the MAC. Is there a driver or app that needs to be installed on the mac side? The only think I remember doing on the WIN side is installing the modem driver.
On Mac, I have installed Missing Sync installed and I have been able to attach and sync my winmo phone without issue, so I know I have connection. but I cannot get the internet sharing to work. I checked out the verizon site and they state that they do not make a modem driver for the mac os.
I should also mention that I have winXP set up on the mac thru VMware, but I have been unsuccessful getting this to work the way my original windows laptop is setup. I dont want to set it up that way anyway if I can avoid it.
I am curious if anyone has this working via USB?? I apologize if this has been covered elsewhere. I couldn't find anything related and certainly not specific to this ROM.
I did find this, http://www.keithtastic.com/post/3997...-to-sprint-htc, but it states to buy an app called USB Modem program from www.mobile-stream.com. but wouldnt the ISC app on the dcd rom provid the same functionality?
Thanks for any/all help

then just use internet sharing form the phone as normal?
no offense but that didnt help at all. I can connect my phone via BT themac sees it, but all I can do is browse device. I need to set up a connection with my phone to the mac and get online via my phone. I dont careif its bluetooth or not. I have the new macbook btw, if it matters
goon55: Like you, I always used a VM workaround to tether back when I had a Mac. I haven't tried this, but I've heard Syncmate allows Internet Sharing on Mac systems. Good luck!
I have no issues connecting my macbook for my 6800.
After you set it up like the other poster told you to, you should have a phone icon next to the bluetooth icon at the top right of the screen. click the phone icon then "connect bluetooth".

also when setting up the BT relationship, make sure you select the network services (i believe, there are one or two services you can check)...on the phone make sure you start BT and internet sharing (with BT selected) and when you go to the BT menu on the mac, your phone name should be under "devices", expand your phone name and select connect to network.
just trying to clarify a bit.
i had it
i had bt working for a bit and then was disconnected abruptly.
after deleting the profiles of the pairings on both the titan and the mac, it still wont share the connection although the phone will be connected in bt system prefrence pane, (where you select devices).
when it worked, i would select the phone in the device select, and underneath clicking on the gear to a menu option to 'connect to network'
it worked that wayfor 3 mins.
also, when i configure the device, if i set the phone to internet share while the mac is discovering the services, i get two options to select instead of just one:
access the internet
use device as network port.
edit: got it, apple talk active
best software you can use is http://www.wmwifirouter.com/ it works over BT or wifi and uses your phone's regular data access address which means you don't get tethering charges. NOTE I use the free version, and I have tried the tiral and although it does work, my mogul does not seem to like it and has little quirks after I install it (wifi turns on when I reset even if the switch is off, I don't why but its there).
Hi everyone, I've been trying to use my Windows Mobile phone as a modem for the Macbook, but so far I only see people being able to connect via BT. Problem with that for me is that BT drains both my laptop and phone battery quicker, so I'm trying to find a solution to connect via USB instead. Has anyone been able to surf on their Mac using their Windows Mobile phone as a modem via USB cable?
What you want is Mobile Stream USB Modem for Windows. Windows here being Windows Mobile, it works with my Mac.
Once you set it up, your phone is seen as a USB Modem and you dial from the Mac to this port. There is a free trial, take time to test it, read the forums, I had some initial issues to get it work right, but now it is good, I ended up purchasing it.
Tried BT sharing too, but too instable and drops. Tried the WiFi sharing, but eats battery...
Only downside: as you dial the data modem, it will fail if it is already in use (background email checking on your phone...). I have to disconnect the data connection on the phone to be able to dial from the Mac, otherwise it reports Port Busy.
Thanks for the recommendation, will try it out. Any other solutions in the meantime to connect and share the Internet connection from my Windows Mobile phone to Mac via USB?
I had the same problem, and tried everything recommended in the thread - no dice. I ended up just installing WMWifiRouter and that works like a champ.

This is for cingular, but I'm sure this can be attempted no matter what the provider.
I've been looking for a solution as well, and have yet to find one for USB Internet Sharing on a Mac. I currently just use Bluetooth with an external charger on the phone and laptop since it'll eat the battery of both quickly.
I feel like I need to 1st explain that although I don't post here often I'm not an absolute noob. I load a new ROM about every 30 days and used Tierman before advancing to Sashimi. Ever since the 6.5 roms dropped I've been unable to see my Titan from ANY laptop/desktop. I'm looking for others with the same issue and/or if this is a known issue that has been resolved.
Tried RyanMogul6800 2.2 Heavy
Tried JUSTPCTECH 6.5 Rom
Tried an un-named 6.5 Rom prior to the 21501 release
Same issue on all of these roms, SSID/PPC not visible
Device is a 6800 Alltel branded on the Alltel network
WMWifirouter version is 1.35
Tried deleting the wifi listing on the pc's/laptops
Tried re-installing WmWifirouter
Tried rebooting everything
Tried changing hardware switch to control ringer on/off instead of wifi
Tried manually powering on wifi via Comm Manager
I know wmwifirouter started out testing here so I hope they see this post but I will be accessing my paid support with wmwifirouter to submit a support ticket.
Has anyone else experienced this?
What did you do to fix it?
Try going into settings, connections, Wireless LAN, change power mode to best performance. Then go into settings, connections, wifi and if any connections are in there delete them. Make sure no connections are attempting to connect. Now turn on wifi switch and go back into wifi settings. Pick to see ad hoc only and create new. Make a name and make it an ad hoc connection, pick open connection no security protection. Finish. Now using wifi on a laptop/desktop refresh the wifi and you should now see your connection. Quick tip when using WmWifirouter. Make sure nothing is connected to your PPC's adhoc connection. Have the wifi switch enabled BEFORE turning on WMwifirouter, Once its connected you can then use a desktop or laptop and connect to the PPC, and dont turn the WIFI OFF until you have quit WMwifirouter. I use the network plugin to access shared folders on my PC to transfer music etc.. Also make sure the wifi on the PC is not set up to share its own connection. That will interfere with the networking with the wifi on the PPC. Let me know if you get wi-fi working.
Thanks and I'm trying that now..only thing is I've been using WMWifirouter cince before it was 1.0 and it always worked fine. While i'm trying your suggestion is their anything different with 6.5 that would have me manually connecting.
I'm used to setting up wmwifirouter in the office and letting 2 otherppl access it and just GO! This happens on Vista, XP, and Windows 7 (I'm an MSDN subscriber). Anyhow trying your suggestions and let me know about 6.5 if you goet a sec.
Thanks
Tried it and my network showed up for a sec but when I tried connecting it timed out and then never showed up again. USB to 3G works fine and I tried ur suggestion on Vista & XP. Still pokin away. Hope sumthin works out!
Just a side note. My wifi IP on the 6800 is always all 0's 0.0.0.0 Shouldn't it be 192.16.3.1 and DHCP is enabled BTW
I'm experiencing a similar problem and have tried several 6.5 builds, including my own from the ppckitchen. WIFI will work for some time and then stop. It will work again for a short time after rebooting but then will stop once more.
So after JustPCTechs (I prefer Ryans Rom) rom i am back on RyanMogul's heavy & it's still not working. I like many people looked at others with this issue like it's something they are doing wrong but I am an EVERY DAY user of wmwifirouter. I cancelled my itnernet at the house simply because Alltel's unlimited was so fast. I even had the kid's Xbox 360 running through it.
So I'm still stuck with no wifi for wmwifirouter. Even after Ryan's suggestions. I know other people have this problem. I just wish you guys would speak up so we can collect data on this issue and resolve it for real.
No disrespect to the very talented individuals whom have assisted me so far. You and your work are greatly appreciated.
I'm also verifying the problem exists. Also I cannot connect my home pc's internet through the USB cable to the phone anymore. I have verified this same problem with all 3 of the 6.5 roms I've tested. I tried ryan's suggestion but to no avail. Looks great though!!
For the issue of the PPC not being able to use your PC's internet through USB cable you may want to try going into settings/connections/connection settings/select network. Make the top drop down menu My work network and the bottom drop down menu make your Carrier ex:Cricket, MetroPCS, etc.. That way should use your WAP when unplugged and use the PC's home connection when plugged in. That would then be normal operation.
SOLVED:
So I was poking around in the 6800 and I never use wifi because Alltel is SOOO fast. I saw a saved network connection ON THE 6800 to wmwifirouter. I thought it was odd since I asked wmwifirouter to dynamically create the network each time instead of storing it.
After doing that I was able to consistently see the 6800 from any device.
So Comm Manager / wireless Lan/ delete wmwifirouter
I've had the usb issue a long time ago and it is not the same.

If you notice i already said to delete existing wi-fi connections. So my first responses were your solution. you just overlooked it.. take care glad your sorted out.
I guess I did and let me make this real clear for anyone reading this later on. Wmwifirouter creates a wifi connection ON YOUR PPC DEVICE - TO YOUR PC DEVICE.
So when people tell you to delete all wifi connections and you delete the one on your laptop/desktop don't forget (like i did) to delete it on the ppc as well. I never knew thats how wmwifirouter worked. Learn somethin new every day. Thanks to all that helped.

In my instructions it is telling you to delete the connections off of the PPC.. Any connection on your PC would not automatically connect unless u had a matching ad hoc connection on ur PPC. I provided the fix and u overlooked/misunderstood it. I am glad you got ur wifi back up and running.
