XDA11i - General Topics

I have an XDA11i on o2 all as original .
Why do o2 include dial up network in its list of connections when it can connect to a dial up modem ? or am I wrong ??
Am Trying Bluetooth modem , should I buy some other type ?

You can use the phone as a modem without having to buy an external one. Set up a new connection and the 'select a modem' drop down box has 'Cellular Line' as an option. You will need to get your phone company to enable data calls on your service.

You'll also need a solid gold wallet.

GPRS Auto pick on Qteq 8310 like on MDA devices

Does anyone know how setup Qteq 9310 or similar device to auto pick GPRS connection from GPRS list.
My problem: T-Mobile in Croatia have Access point: "web.htgprs." but when I leave country and use phone in Roaming, for GPRS I need connect to "web.htgprs" (without dot at the end).
So I create two GPRS connections, and my idea is that phone tray connect to first, and if not connect, they tray connect to next from the list.
On MDA devices, there are "Auto pick" options, on smartphone there is not this options .
Anyone know some solutions (registry change, applications, ...)?
thanks,
Mario.

Possible to setup CSD Type 9600 bps on the Treo 750/700w?

Hi,
I am trying to setup a traditional CSD (regular dial-up) connection on my Treo 750. I have a phone number from my ISP (and if I dial it from my cell phone I can hear a modem answering on the other side).
I setup a new Modem Connection with "Cellular Line" and followed the steps to configure the phone number etc. But when I try to connect it says "No modem at above number...." and won't connect.
I googled around and saw posts for other devices that said to change the "CSD Type" to 9600bps (v.32) but I can't find anywhere on the Treo connection settings that will let me set/change the baud settings for the "Cellular Line".
Do you have any idea? My GPRS/UTMS connection is working fine, but I am trying to setup and test a CSD dial-up connection as I am traveling soon and will have free local calls (voice/CSD).
Thanks!
Ix.
Try #888 (Circuit data)
It might be supported but it requires a lot of technical depth knowledge
I got it to connect for 1 min but then it disconnects? not sure why, I would need QXDM to find out.

How do I tether with the HTC ROM?

I purchased the tether feature through ATT and had it working with the ATT ROM because there was a MODEM or something icon in my connections program group.
With the HTC ROM I don't see that? How do I setup to tether using the HTC ROM?
Thanks

DUH, thanks that was easy.
Um, it would seem that I don't have to use the dial-up options like I did with the ATT ROM. Does this mean they can't track whether my data is being used for my phone or my computer therefore not needing to pay extra to "tether"?
Thanks
I just have the $40 unlimted pda connect plan and I have been using ICS for over a year now with now problems with cingular now AT&T
OK, so just got off the phone with att rep. Explained to me that I had the ENTERPRISE PDA w/TETHER (we looked at the chart together online) and told me that ENTERPRISE packages meant I could get my business's e-mail included for free. She didn't really know what that meant exactly so I was like "you mean have exchange server e-mail forwarded to my PDA?" she said- yeah something like that.
SO, I was like, what about this PDA PERSONAL MAX plan. She said it's still unlimited data, with 1500 text messages (which was NOT included in the PDA ENTERPRISE plan) and minus the business e-mail account forwarding (whatever that is)...
SO she switched me to the non-tethering PDA PERSONAL MAX $39.99 unlimited data, 1500 messages.
If I use connection sharing as described above I should be good to go right? It's a non-dial connection so I don't see how they ever could trace it.
It's amazing how little ATT reps (including the store rep that set me up with the $59.99 plan) know about these data plans. They are horribly ambiguous. A crime if you ask me.
Thanks for your help. I'll try using the connection sharing over the next month and see if it does anything crazy to my bill...

Did you ever confirm whether AT&T could track our usage? I used to use PDANet for tethering, but PDANet doesn't work with WM6. They indicated that they don't have any immediate plans to accommodate WM6 users. Unless you guys and gals have heard differently.
Works great
Hello guys,
works great ! As soon as I understood that I needed to set up a Network pairing on my PC first...
YES !
Thanks guys

I work for At&t myself and they are not tracking whether or not the usage came from your phone or computer they are just tracking the usage itself. They know how much usage a phone is capable of doing in a month and if your going over that then they know your doing something your not supposed to and can actually terminate your service.

Doing something your not supposed to do? What would that be?
I have never tethered to a PC. My device usage last month was nearly 7GB. I am sure most of the usage was streaming video (live TV) and video podcast downloads. All content was viewed exclusively on the Tilt, much in real time.
"Connecting me to my world"
I have a PDA Max plan at 39.99 a month with 1500 text messages and unlimited data, and I tether via internet sharing just fine.
DONT pay ATT for the Tethering plan, as you can do this all for free.
homer, you're right the rep didn't know much about data plans, media max plans are technically for non-pda phones. If you need to tether, I wouldn't download too much. I can see at&t eventually trying to change people from the 39.99 data and text plan if they have a pda. I don't even get 3g where I live, so 39.99 is the most I'd pay.
According to AT&T's official data policy, any users transmitting over 5GB/mo on their network run the risk of being "monitored" for potential abuse. If you frequently tether (which I do), just be careful not to exceed 5GB/mo more than 3 months in a row.
AT&T does not track whether a person is tethering via USB/Bluetooth, or just browsing the net and downloading a sh*t-ton of data directly on the phone. However, they can tell if your data is being used for their internal services such as AT&T TV and the like.
In true Wikipedia form, here's my reference for the 5GB limit. ComputerWorld.com
Does anyone know if the PDAMax limits your ability to use isp.cingular as opposed to wap.cingular; or is in anyway more limited than the PDA Connect Unlimited plan that I've been holding onto?
Hello PDAnet 2.0 does indeed work with wm6. I have it for both my 8525 and my 8925. It works just great.

also, while setting up your phone for connection thro a usb, go to "network and sharing center" > "local area connection" (the one from your kaiser) >> properties >> CHECK everything (sharing, ipv6, ipv4.. ) . no other changes needed (no need to disable usb on your laptop or kaiser, no need to disable 'advanced network functionality' under usb to pc. just enable internet sharing from comm manager and it works.

A virtual 56k modem for dial up?

Is there a program out there that simulates a 56k modem on a Windows Mobile device so that I can connect to the internet using my dialup ISP credentials? If not, how hard would it be to make one? Any other ways to get dial up working on Windows Mobile? I do not have a data plan and would like Internet on my phone.
problem is that gsm devices can't connect to an old analog isp modem connection
back before gprs
the phone company's sold special gsm internet connections so phones which supported it
could be used as modems my old motorola 930 supported that but those
gsm data internet subscriptions were expensive both for having and using
hmm would there be a round about way to do it? like dial a traditional phone from your cell phone witch inturn dials dialup internet. i have wanted something like this before too.
My phone is Verizon (CDMA), not GSM. Don't know if that makes a difference.

Yes, that is what I am looking for. The problem is not the phone, it's that there is no modem in a WM phone. This is what I am looking for; A little program that sort of emulates a physical 56k modem.
when connected to activesync or PAN your phone will have the same network connection as your pc unless you have blocked it
so you can get internet that way
but there is no way that a program can make it possible for you to put in your nomal analog modem connections phone nr and settings and connect that way
programs run inside the operating system and access the network by using the gsm phone module so a program can bypass the gsm system

Conect 3g modem to my phone?

Hello I am about to contract the internet 3g modem for my notebook, u can see a pic here
http://www.clarochile.cl/banda_ancha/prepago.php
I have an htc touch pro 2, anyway I can hook it up there if I would like to?
Thanks
when connected to activesync your phone will have the same network connection as your pc unless you turned it off
you can't use usb devices directly with htc phones
you can most likely put the simcard of the device as they got simscards inside at least places where people use sincards which may exclude some parts of usa into the phone and set the gprs settings correctly and use it that way
