OK. Like a lot of people, I was horrified to discover that my Mac could no longer use my Hermes' bluetooth connection (DUN) after I upgraded to AKU 3.3. Microsoft lovingly removed DUN and added PAN, which MacOS doesn't support yet (rumors are that 10.4.9 or 10.5.0 will).
So I suddenly was left without a way to connect to the 'net using my phone and my MacBook Pro.
Plugging it up USB didn't do anything -- the Mac had no idea what the phone was, and didn't know how to use it for anything.
Enter MarkSpace MissingSync. I installed the latest version (3.0.1) on my Mac, and plugged in my phone to sync it up. By chance, I ran an 'ifconfig -a' in a terminal window, and noticed this:
Code:
en2: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 80:00:60:0f:e8:00
media: 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> status: active
supported media: 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex>
So MissingSync is establishing a connection using a faked IP address. OK. Interesting. So I unplug the phone, and go into the all new "Internet Sharing" app on my phone, set it to USB and turned it to connect. I plug my phone back in, and MissingSync tries to start up (and fails). But the IP (en2) is still there. I turn off my Airport (wireless) connection, make sure Bluetooth is disabled (to make sure).. and do a netstat -rn, and lo and behold, my Mac has suddenly taken on my phone as a default gateway.
Code:
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire
default 192.168.0.1 UGSc 9 40 en2
127 127.0.0.1 UCS 0 0 lo0
And... I'm on the 'net. I didn't have to create any connections, I didn't have to add any routes manually. Nothing. It just worked. (Yeah, I'm amazed, too).
Everything works. DNS, SlingPlayer, Entourage w/ Exchange.
I'm getting around 900/kbps down, 600/kbps up on Cingular/AT&T. Of course I live about 2 miles from Cingular HQ, so that's probably to be expected..
In MissingSync, turn *off* USB syncing, and it won't throw as many errors -- just sync via Bluetooth, but the drivers are still there, so it still comes up with an IP address and pseudo-ethernet device.
MarkSpace needs to market this. Awesome. It's not as convenient as bluetooth, but it's a lot faster, and you have the added benefit of charging your phone at the same time.
oh.. and one more thing... you can still use your phone for voice phone calls (when you're on 3G), and data. It works just like your're not plugged into it. And you can use a bluetooth headset with your phone while you're connected.
edited: make sure "use advanced usb networking" is turned OFF in the Settings>Connections page on your phone.
Wow, just tried this myself on cingular as well, 150k/sec down and 90k/sec up using EDGE. Extremely easy as well, just kinda works by itself if you have MissingSync installed. Posting using my TYTN right now actually.
I'm on the medianet unlimited plan so I connect through wap.cingular. Will I get hit for any additional data charges for tethering?

Very doubtful, although I don't know for sure. My phone is set to use MediaNET, and uses wap.cingular. I have PDA Unlimited Connect. From all appearances on Cingular's billing page, a notebook hooking into your phone via this method just looks like ordinary phone data to Cingular.
Now... I wouldn't use this as a primary internet connection. I'd bet if you put several gigs through the phone, they're going to get suspicious.
I actually use around 4-5 gigs a month normally (just with ActiveSync polling for mail and normal use), and they've never said anything to me.. so.. who knows.
Unfortunately, it's so difficult to get info from Cingular/AT&T these days (I'm still trying to get my [email protected] to work)..
My billing cycle is up in 7 days -- I will post back here if I see any different charges on my bill.
If this works, I'm going to hump your leg.
wow, works. time to start humping. i love you. please, bear my children.
btw, definitely worth adding to the wiki.
I am assuming that disabling the connection in Internet Sharing restores Missing Sync's normal (supported sync) functionality? Great pick-up. I already have Missing Sync and my 8525 will be here on Wednesday. Thanks.
Damn, I can't afford Missing Sync
Oh well, I bought it anyway. I'd already played with version 2.5 so I knew it was starting to get good. I can make use of some of the other features, (like importing my cameraphone snaps into iPhoto) but this internet sharing feature is why I bought it. And it works just as you said:
1) Run "Internet Sharing" on the phone with 'PC Connection' set to USB.
2) Plug into the Mac.
In fact "Missing Sync for Windows Mobile" shows up as a network interface in System Preferences / Network, too.
This is actually a lot nicer that the old way I used to do it. Before AKU 3.3 and Missing Sync 3 I was getting Internet access on my iBook over Bluetooth using Internet Connect and a lot of faffing around with modem scripts. I eventually found one that worked.. .but I always had to 'dial' 3 times before it connected and it took about 2 minutes to get a connection.
Now I can just plug in and go ... and my phone doesn't need a separate power supply to keep me connected all day. ** very happy **
(Yes, they should really advertise this!)
i'd really like my hermes to work on my Linux box, since I use it as my main system over XP.. i read a few articles regarding this, and it turns out the older version of synce worked on most HTC devices.. but for some odd reason the new ones dont seem to.. someone did mention that WM5 devices weren't supported for now.. the older WM2003 does tho..
if it makes any difference, I'm on Ubuntu Linux 6.10 32bit version..
any help is appreciated..

What version of Missing Sync are you using? It's working for me using version 3.01
It's 3.0.0 (315) and it reports as the latest.
Well that's clearly not true I suggest you download the new version from the site (I only got this a few days ago).
Upgraded to the 3.0.1 (downloaded from the site). The client on the phone upgraded as well. Still nothing. On the sync mode there is en2 connection (with orange status) in the network preferences. When I activate the sharing mode it disappears. Checked in terminal as well.

I don't believe so, I've only tried using the "USB" setting. Besides, the phone gets power through the USB cable and more bandwidth. There is no advantage to using Bluetooth except not needing a cable!
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?
Anyone successfully tethered an Archos 5 Internet Tablet with Android to Verizon Touch Pro, so as to get that lovely EVDO Rev A displayed on that nice 4.8 inch screen?
I have an old SSK ROM (probably a good year old). I've tried WMWiFiRouter (Bluetooth and WiFi) and ICS (BT) to no avail. All of these work from my Win7 laptop. Bluetooth option requires just pairing; no config at all.
Apparently one issue is that Android (at least the 1.6 Donut on the Archos) can't connect to WiFi in Ad Hoc mode.
Don't know for sure what the BT issue is. Two things do jump out:
1. phone doesn't show NAP or PAN in the supported profiles in BT settings
2. laptop sees DUN as a profile. Archos doesn't show any listed after pairing
Any idea if one of the nice ROMs out there will help?
Thanks!

This would make my year if I can get this working..
Archos 5 (fw:1.7.33)
Verizon Touch Pro 2(wm6.5)
When I try to turn the tether on (on the archos), "Dial-up Networking" in the bluetooth settings of the TP2 appears for the duration of it trying to connect. If the DATA Connection is connected, it will disconnect when you attempt to tether and not even try to reconnect.
So.. The phone sees a dial up connection from the bluetooth but theres a missing link between there and it actually dialing out. I tried wmwifirouter.exe but I cant get the bluetooth to work in that.
Weird thing: While tethering was tring to astablish a connection, I opened IE on the TP2 (to manually connect data) and got the Verizon tethering page (yes, on my phone) asking me sign up.. huh?
I heard from my coworkers that it is possible enable Ad-hoc in Android.. anyone try it with the archos?

Actually, with the latest Archos firmware (1.7.71? last week), it works great for me. After updating, I unpaired and repaired the devices. I use Internet Connection Sharing with BT, and use Archos Tether, and it works quite nicely. The power control widget is helpful here too; sometimes I need to power-cycle the Archos BT, then turn on tether, to get it to work.

Internet Connection Sharing is a program/setting? Or are you just saying you share internet through bluetooth.. Sorry just being thorough.
haha I'm not surprised there has been an update since 1.7.33. Hopefully that will fix my random reboots.. Ill report later tonight if the update to 1.7.71 helps. Thanks!

Internet Connection Sharing is a standard Microsoft WinMo program, but it is often dropped from carrier phones. It's pretty easy to find online.
WMWiFiRouter likely also should work in BT mode with 1.7.71, but I haven't tried it.
Kevin.. I'm being an idiot. You have the touch pro and I have the touch pro 2.
Bluetooth on wmwifirouter and on ICS (maybe i have the wrong ICS) seem to be not supported on the TP2. The only options is wifi/usb with wifirouter and usb with ICS
I'm assuming I need a program like those two that will work with bluetooth? I get the message on the TP2 "this device is attempting to connect to the internet" and I accept but still nothing... is this where wifirouter and ics come into play?
BT for ICS and WMWiFiRouter on TP2 vs TP
Odd that ICS and WMWiFiRouter should have less functionality on TP2 WinMo 6.5 than on TP WinMo 6.1...
Maybe you'll want to ping Morose Media (WMWiFiRouter folks) to see if they have any thoughts, as well as ask general ICS question on this site.
What version of WMWiFiRouter (I have 1.25, build 600) do you have?

You may want to check out the following thread. I think some of the Android users (e.g. G1) folks may have made some progress, but I don't know if that was on client or server side.

My pleasure... Good luck!
By the way, I asked them about supporting multiple devices over bluetooth, and the next day they gave me a prototype that does it, and they say they will put that into the main product. Now that's service! I love it -- much lower power usage and heat than WiFi, and plenty fast enough for my uses. Should run much longer that way. I'm psyched!
I am in the same boat with an archos 5 android tablet, the HTC touch PRO and sprint as a carrier. let me know if you come up with a work around. I'll do the same.
OKay . maybe i miss read all the posts. Its the HD PRO 2 thats having trouble connecting. I just updated to the 1.7.77 which allowed me to change to PAN and i made sure that PAN was selected in WMWIFIROUTER. All of the other things i left blank, and it connected right up showing a tiny cell phone icon next to my bluetooth icon. It was a very happy moment. I love finding those hidden icons.
Archos 5 Programming problem with PAN/DUN
The problem, and no one take this wrong, is that the technicians at Archos are a bunch of backwards idiots. I emailed them, explained to them that, if they would just rewrite the PAN/DUN menu to be selected previous to pairing, the problem would be solved.
My Sprint Touch Pro will do PAN bluetooth (all day long) even upside down but the idiotic software on the Archos 5 isn't smart enough to detect it so you don't get to use the PAN (which they claim is there), all you see is DUN.
I've used PDANet and gotten results but the connection is SO unstable it's just too irritating to bother.
If more people would write Archos, tell them to change the architecture of the tethering, this tablet would be more along the awesome line.
HOWEVER, because of this little quirk, some electronics magazines wrote the Archos 5 as "One of the tablets that should have NEVER been created" and it's gotten a bad rap because of the engineers.
Heck, even the whole GPS issue, they used an independent software from another company to make it work and while it DOES work, it's often slow to lock-in while standing still sometimes.
Basically i saw write in and tell them to change it. PAN is so much easier to deal with. I've had better luck with the G1 and the HERO but the problem is my current phone is using Windows Mobile 6 and they actually removed the DUN some versions ago for some reason i can't explain and the Microsoft tech couldn't tell me either.
You can hack the DUN in with registry tweaks and support software but there's no guarantee it will work.
#777 to start DUN connection?
I know I am late to this party, but on my 3rd AIT 5 (clearance at Best Buy for 150, but I got open box unit for 125) attempting this with XV6800, and now a new Imagio that tethers (Verizon) just fine with Linux/WinXP/Nokia N810.
The thing I have found with DUN is that it requires the tethered device (PC/AIT/etc) to send the #777 to connect, then authenticate with <phone number>@vzw3g.com for Id, and password of vzw. The tethering setup on the AIT appears to let you do the Id/Password part, but I see no way to get the #777 sent in the first place. Has anyone figured out that part?

Here is the latest Windows Live CAB that I downloaded from the WM Marketplace today (May 3, 2010). I like it cuz it allows you to sync and push your Hotmail email even if you're already pushing Gmail with ActiveSync. In essence, it's like having 2 Exchange accounts. It also gives you the "conversation" style emails in Outlook.
Windows Live never used exchange to sync email, what you say doesnt make sense as you have always been able to use an exchange account with a windows live account. Plus the version on the MP is currently 11.1, this would be a downgrade.
Any changelog?
Even if it doesn't use Exchange to push the Hotmail, it's basically the same thing, so who cares about semantics.
Please kindly state what the full version number of this *.cab file is... I know that the latest one provided in http://wl.windowsmobile.com/ is version 10.7.0061.0500.2000.

There has been some confusion about which version this is. I'm just going to leave it with the date that i downloaded it from the actual Windows Phone Marketplace. If you find a CAB that was downloaded after that date, then it's probably a later version.
Hmm...
Actually, I also have always been able to use Exchange + Hotmail.
Since I got my Windows Phone back in October 2009, I've always had Gmail on Activesync PLUS Hotmail on Windows Live and both were set to Push-mode (As item arrives). Maybe there's another feature they introduced that we haven't discovered?
Have a version for Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard (Motorola Q11)? Hugs from Brazil!
Some ROMs don't come with Windows Live or possibly with an older version.
This CAB will allow you to push both Gmail and Hotmail at the same time.
I recently got a windows live/messenger account and now I'd like to use it on my i780 via Wifi (not via Gprs, as that is quite expensive). Could you please tell me if this version can do so? The older ones all seem to be unable to do it. (exept if there was a way to use wifi as a modem)
thanks in advance

Are you asking can you use Windows Live over a Wifi connection? The answer to that is yes.
A cool little feature I noticed is that if you are using a ROM that does not have threaded email conversations, installing this CAB will enable that in Outlook. A nice little addition.

Thanks for your reply, but in my case, it doesn't work. Opera mobile, Outlook mobile and any other program that needs an internet connection are able to use wifi, but windows live insists on using gprs. When I try to log in(with wifi enabled and connected of course), it opens the connection bubble saying that a gprs connection is being started. If I click it away a couple of times, a notice appears that gprs doesn't work...
I already made an empty isp in the connection settings to prevent it from using gprs, but it somehow seems to start ActiveSync on the mobile. There I have no option to change the connection type to use wifi, but only wap gprs or mms etc.
Btw. my mobile is running its original windows mobile 6.0 Pro. Could that have something to do with this?
sorry for writing so much, but I want to make it as easy as possible for you to help me.

Using Wifi to get hotmail seems to be a problem. It always wants to use the cell data connection over wifi if both are available. I know that you can get windows live email through wifi if you turn on wifi and completely turn off the phone radio as if you have no service. But if both are on, I don't know how to make wifi take priority.

you could try DataController or Modaco NoData to (temporarily) disable your data connections. That way Windows Live is forced to use wifi
One thread with all official MS apps is not a bad thing, but someone looking specifically for Windows Live will have an easier time finding a thread dedicated to just that.

I'm having the same problem of unable to connect messenger on wifi. Even when I disabled the GPRS connection, Messenger will say that problem connecting to the data connection.
hmm I maybe wrong to intervene and say try using Palringo which has all MSN, Yahoo, Gmail etc (perhaps you are using Live messenger for a reason there) -

Thanks for your tip, you're quite right. I'm going to give it a try tomorrow in the morning.
With windows live etc. I haven't been able to even only take one step further. It still always uses the connection that is chosen at "programs - internet access - network connection". If I deactivate this connection(i.e.with NoData), it simply tries another one and if I stop all connections (or simply turn off the phone part of my mobile), it immediately says that there is no connection available. But it does still not use wifi, although it's turned on all the time. It works via GPRS, by the way, but it's much too expensive.
Expect to hear from me soon
EDIT: I have now tested palingo and I have to admit that it works really good! Also, there were no problems with wifi (of course)
If you are interested in syncing your Phone7 with Lotus Notes, try the commontime mNotes Wireless (there´s a free trial).
It even works in your enterprise environment, as long as you can reach the commontime servers (proxy is supported).
Works like a charm with my Mozart - just follow the instructions for the HTC Hero.
don't get it! there is no support of WP7 at commontime... and where is link for the instructions with hero?
thanks for your help. My company uses Lotus Notes and I need to synchronize...
you´ll find the instruction here:
h ttp://www.commontime.com/assets/mNotes_SetupGuide_HTC_Hero.pdf
You are right - they say they don´t support it, but it works perfectly.
Even Accepting / Declining of invitations, public adressbook search and all that stuff.
Just keep exactly to the hero-instruction, and carefully read "before you start" (alias...)
Also take care to fill out the fields exactly as shown in the Hero-Guide (especially the correct Name, Alias,...)
Some Help if possible
Hi Guys,
I read this with interest and got a copy of the setup pdf.
The problem I'm currently having is (hoping I'm not having a brain dead moment) how do you wifi connect to your Notes account? I setup a ad-hoc network on my laptob but my Mozart cannot see that (surprise, surprise). So I'm guessing you guys have connected both devices to a standard (non-hidden) wifi network?? Can you let me know. Thanks

Do you know why this is sorry? Is there away to make it work or not?
The Notes connection works via your Internet-Connection (Proxies are supported).
mNotes establishes a connection between the mNotes Server and your Phone7 Exchange Connector while your Client connects to the Server via your Standard Internet connection.
Hope that helps

If you use the notes public adressbook lookup function from your phone-mail app, mnotes sometimes fails to deliver the mail (it skips the blanks between prename and surname).
This will NOT happen, when you use the lookup function from your phone-adressbook app or from the phone-calender app.
Replies work as well, it just seems to happen if you create new mails directly from the mail app.
Anyway, as far as i know mNotes is still the only way to sync Notes and the Mozart by now, so it seems to be an acceptable issue for me
@Blueant
got it working?
You don´t need to connect the Phone7 to a WLAN, it will sync via your GSM connection.
Just connect your PC to the Internet & follow the Setup guide.
That will do.
