Hi,
Does the Qtek 8500 with WM 5.0 have a setting for on-board flights? I want to turn off the connection to the carrier, but still have access to the calendar, tasks etc.
Thanks!

Hello, i'm new in this forum. I have the following problem: I have to install a MDA II on a PC in our company, but for security reasons i have to disable all communication functions like blue tooth and internet before doing this.
Is this possible? How can I do this?
greetings,

If it's for security reasons then don't connect to the PC.
Other wise how secure will it be. If you hack the registry for bluetooth and take out the sim for phone (to inhibit internet access) then that person can put in a SDIO with WIFI or Bluetooth an yet has communication oppertunities again. Or he can put in another SIM so the phone is up again.
Most of above is also valid if you would give that person a plain PocketPC.
Regards,
Mark
if you disable phone and bluetooth then why get a xda2 at all ?
@markutah
thank you for your answer. I have to connect the MDA for synchronizing email and contacts with Outlook. Although Internet and Bluetooth have to be deactivated, the phone-function must still be available.
I thought of deinstalling or hiding the Internet Explorer in the registry (the user isn't skilled enaugh to modify the registry to turn on again). Unfortunately, I have no idea for doing this. And I have no idea how I could disable bluetooth.
@Rudegar
A user (the chief of our company) have bought a MDA II from T-Mobile (and he really don't care about our security policies). I'm not allowed to change or ignore these policies, but on the other hand I have to connect the MDA to the PC. :?
I think Internet is easy: In the connection profiles on the Proxy settings tab uncheck "this network connects to the internet".
This must be done for both work and internet profile.
But for bluetooth? I can't help you. Maybe a little bit stupid but instruct him not to turn bluetooth on would I say.
Mark
how will se be syncing with outlook ?
if by usb then no problem
about bluetooth then there are some posts in the forums if you search where people give the registry values you have to change to disable bluetooth and remove the icons (of cause by reversing those changest he could turn it back on unless you remove it by hammer and screwdriver )
about grps then you can just delete the settings in
settings connections -> connections and remove the extry's regarding grps
of cause if he want he could just type them back in
but another way is to get the phone company to block grps
on most cellphone company's it's not enabled as default and you have to ask them to turn it on, so i asume you could ask them to turn it off
the buttomline is that you can make anything 100% secure
Thank you all very much. The MDA is connected to our network now.

Is a well known problem since WM5 AKU 3.0, DUN disappeared (Dial Up Network, using WM as remote modem, via Activesync or BT)
Any TOM TOM Go and TOM TOM One, (not used by ATHENA users, we have our GPS) need IT to be connected with the PDA. In some cases DUN could be usefull also for Athena users, but it was removed from latest WM5 and WM6 Rom (the majority of Nokia and Sony smartphones have it)
Now someone here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1351044&postcount=21 posted the .cab to restore it on a TyTN.
Sleuth put it on his new rom, I've tested on my X7500 (HTC WM6 rom) and I am having some config problem on the USB side...
My be it could be interesting also for some ATHENA user
tried on my touch and tried to dial from my athena with *99# and didnt work..
Maybe I'm missing something, but why don't you set up a modem in Settings > Connections > Connections > Tasks > Add a new modem connection? Just need an APN, user name and password, which vary depending on your ISP (I have AT&T). Modem string and *99# no longer necessary.
If you want to use your Athena as a modem for your laptop, either through a USB or Bluetooth connection, just use Internet Sharing under Programs.
im trying to share between ppc to ppc ...
hy,
I cannot connect athena100 to tomtom go910.
I upgrades WM5 to WM6, I installes BT_DUN, tries several ways, but it doesn't work, I always got a message of DUN-connection problem;
I managed perfectly well on touch, but I have no succes with atnena100;
could you help me?
I'd say use wmwifirouter for this. It will work perfectly for internet sharing with about anything around you over usb BT or wifi
Thank you Astain, but I need a DUN-connection because TomTom does not use ICS.
Do you have a solution for that?
Hi There,
I have upgraded my Atom Life to WM6 (latest version from O2 site). Everything works well. But I have problems with syn via bluetooth and IrDA. Please see my problem below:
Before syn with bluetooth or IR, I can syn with USB well.
* For IrDA:
+ When I choose syn with IR from activesyn menu on Pocket PC it shows "Attention required" then I click on this it shows "Connection Not valid: cannot open the connection 'infrared port'. This connection does not exist or no longer support. Select a difference connection or try again"
+ I am sure that: IR in range and I can do this many time on WM5 as well as send and receive file between my Atom life and My Laptop.
* For Bluetooth:
+ When I choose syn with Bluetooth from activesyn menu on PPC it show "Cannot find an existing Bluetooth partnership with a PC that supports ActiveSyn Would you like to set up Partnership now?"
+ I am sure that: Bluetooth in rang and pair with my laptop, I can send and receive file between my Atom life and Laprop. I can syn via bluetooth with WM5 many times.
If anyboby know what are the problems and solutions for these please let me know. If you can point me some document that would be great.
Thanks in advance
I dont own Atom Life, however sounds like you havent got the COM Ports configured properly...with MS generic bt drivers add (Incoming connection) port (usually COM3 is selected by default) after adding the port go to Connection settings in Activesync and under (allow connection to one of the following) select COM3. Assuming you have already paired your device now go to bt connection settings in device and tap your PC name then tap refresh, wait until it discovers A/S, tick the box then add a com port on your device too. I usually select COM6 but I do not believe it matters. good luck if that doesnt work then you should ask O2.
PS...if you already have an existing partnership and its not syncing, then delete partnership from PC and device and start again.
Thanks for your information but I still not work. I did check carefully incoming connection port and I also configured allowing connect wireless on ActiveSync to connect this port. Every step, I think correctly because I configured and sync with WM5 in the day before I update WM6. I don't know why It happens when I upgrade to WM6 then I could not syn with Bluetooth and IrDA. Maybe, I should get help from O2 support centre.
Hi everybody
I have a Charmer with v. 000.5b WM6 Essentials ROM for Charmer. After severals hours of (unsuccessfull ) advances and after reading many tutorials I´m not able to set a Bluetooth Network connection between my Charmer and my PC.
I'm wondering if there is a special BT Driver with the Bluetooth PAN capability for the Charmer undeer WM6 needed.I was able to set a Bluetooth Activesync connection between the PDA and the PC . But i would like to connect to the internet free of the crappy AS.
My MSI Star Key BT-dongle can pair with the PDA and I see a BT-Network-shortcut in My Bluetooth Places. But doubleclick on it cause just a error message : ... not able to set a connection
If i go in WM6 to Settings - Connections - Connections i can set a new modem connection and if i choose - Select Modem : Bluetooth - it starts to search for the BT modem , finds My PC , but there are just the services : Activesync and Headset.
If i look to - NetworkCards i can find a PAN Bluettoth driver.
If you can help me i will be very glad. I tried almost any tutorial , but they are commonly for WM2003 and they are different with mine. E.g. there is no Bluetooth-Manager under WM6.
Thanks for reply
i spent also already tons of hours getting this to work and i assume its somehow related to the charmer ROM i am using. I find my pc but under Settings - Connections - Connections when i set a new modem connection and select Bluetooth it finds my PC , but there are no services available.
i am thinking of going back to wm5 and trying it again.

Good Day,
I too am having this issue.
I am not using a cooked rom of any type, I am using an HTC Vogue with the factory rom installed (Windows Mobile 6 Professional: CE OS 5.2.1620 Build 18125.0.4.2).
From the reading I have done it leads me to believe that that the connection has to be setup using the Bluetooth DUN setups/addons/registry tweaks discussed in numerous posts within this forum.
However, I have been unable to find instructions that have been successful on my device.
My goal with this setup is to be able to go to friends houses as I travel, insert a Bluetooth USB dongle into their PC, and QUICKLY setup a PAN to borrow their internet connection for my device. To summarize I am looking for a solution to easily to connect to the internet without having to install ActiveSync on their machines.
Any input is apreciated, Thank You!
i got it
I finally go it to work with bluetooth and dund. the distribution i am using is ubuntu. HERE its described and that is the way its working for me too.

Hi All
I have an ex T-Mobile HTC HD2 running windows 6.5 and connected to O2.
Mostly everything works fine except . . . . .
When I try to download an MMS message the phone tries to use the T-Mobile network and as this is not set up, it doesn;t work.
It tries to use t-Mobile even when connected to wifi
I have tried getting onto the network manager but all the T-Mobile settings are greyed out. and there is no option to delete the entry (edit, press and hold gives no options).
Network manager is set to use O2 (Connect to internet and Private network)
So, please, how do I get rig of T-Mobile and default to O2.
I presume it some registry hack?
TFAI
Try downloading & install this connection settings tool by HTC >
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=565785&d=1302516709
Once installed it will have a shortcut link in Settings, Connections, Connection Setup
Run it & choose country 'UK' & network provider 'O2' *be sure choose postpay or prepay*
It should load all setting including MMS.
If have issues post back for more help.
Another good option would be debranding your HD2 with either standard generic HTC ROM or Custom ROM such as Energy, links can be found in HD2 Wiki > http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_HD2#ROM_Development
Thanks for that.
Sadly not a huge success. cab downloaded and installed.
Run, reset, set up connection, reset etc
Eventually Settings, Connections, Connection Setup select O2 postpay and another restart just in case
Then
Wireless Controls, Data Connection, but it wont conect. (Slider wont go green)
Wifi Conection greyed out.
Total mess.
Back to Conection Setup and check but its set to UK, O2 postpay
I have Data Controller installed but that allows all O2 (MMS postpay and mobile web)
At least I could access the www before
How do I get out of this mess
TFAI
I would try removing data controller as that has some known issues of messing up the connection settings in registry.
I use GB-SOFT GPRS UMTS tweak which auto disconnects gprs when not used (set time to zero).
So in review >
remove Data controller & soft reset
Go into Settings>Connections>Connections>select 'manage existing connections' & delete any settings remaining
re-run Connection Setup & see if works !
I've never had trouble on provider roms such as T-Mobile so assume will be messy registry problem.
If no joy, post again & I will try dig up a guide & settings for O2 for manually trying input GPRS & MMS.
Good fix would be Custom WM6.5.5 such as one in my signature.
hhhmmm struggling. I can find no sensible way of uninstalling the Data controller. There is no entry on the list of programs to uninstall and I cant identify a directory.
There is a shortcut that points to \Windows\DataController.exe but is removing the program enough?
Good news is that I can Wireless stuff now works (My fault, I had forgotten they dont work when usb is connected to PC) So the only problem is MMS. Mor efiddling around, reran the HTC thing. Deleted an old connection and reboote a couple of times and eventually it worked.
And they call this a science!!
Thanks for you help
^ So is MMS now working !
If not I will post a manual MMS settings guide I have for WM6.5 somewhere.
Just removing the datacontroller.exe wouldn't be enough really, what really wanted is registry for it removed.
From your comments sounds like was mainly dirty connection settings in registry.
Data & MMS connections can be bit of a pain in WM6.5 but once learned manually or if the htc connections settings tool works perfectly they are better than android or iphone for flexibility & control.
