Hi there,
has anybody of you experience with using a Palm Treo 750v as UMTS Modem for a Mac (PowerPC, Max OS 10.4.x -> newest OS)? Does it work? Do I need additional software?
Thanks a lot,
best
Helge

I've been working on this for a bit and it seems that the Modem scripts that I was using to connect via DUN on the Palm OS version (680, BT, Cingular, UMTS) is not working on the same carrier and over BT and on the same network. The only thing I can think of is that WinMo needs a special type of modem script on the Mac side in order for it to connect.
I keep receiving Modem errors. I can establish a connection, but somewhere around sending PPP packets and authentication the connection dies.
Try this
Ross Barkham sent me this and it works well.
Unzip the file, dump the contents into your modem scrips directory:
Macintosh HD > Library > Modem Scripts.
Then pair the 750v and mac. Follow the options, when you get to choosing the modem for internet dialling, choose the file you've just dumped into Modem Scripts and then complete the setup wizard.
Works perfectly for me.

use mine as a modem all the time with the ipaq scripts which from experience have worked with all winmo devices.

And you, kind sir, have just become my Santa for this christmas season. Works like a charm!
The generic 3G modem scripts weren't working on winmobile, but the Treo 3G CID1 script you attached worked perfectly. I now get a consistent 241Kbps down so I assume that i'm only hitting UMTS and not HSDPA.
having a nightmare with this.
I'm using a ibook OSX 10.4, I just got my new Palm Treo 750v, Vodafone have given me settings for connection on my mac and I have installed the treo modem script above, but I just can't get the laptop to connect through the phone it's says, "no carrier detected, check phone line connection"
my vodafone connection settings are :-
phone number - vodafone
account - web
password - web
any ideas ??
Can someone please another link to the file?
When I tried to download the file all I got was "attachment.php".
TIA
Can someone please POST another link to the file?..sorry about that
Try right clicking and then downloading the linked file to your desktop. That worked for me.
Tried that already...

hi i have been trying to setup my treo 750 as a modem but after pairing, my mac doesn't detect any modem services on my treo. is there something wrong here?
i've been thinking it could be connected to the fact that i tried cleaning up the notification queue on my treo. that stopped activesync from functioning and i'm wondering if this issue may be connected.
I down loaded the treo 3g CIDI file and i can't unzip it. I need help to ID an aplication to unzip, I have a treo 750 and a MacBook pro. TY

I just bought the sprint 6700 using EVDO. The speed is amazing. I want to use the phone as a modem ( I had a JAM that worked fine this way).
I configured the wireless modem app on the phone and linked up to my laptop with USB. The phone opens the port but after dialing #777, it says 'Error 680: there was no dialtone'
Any idea how to fix this? What other settings do I need?
Thanks in advance.
I figured it out...you have to set Windows XP to not wait for a dialtone. Then it connects.
what settings did you use to configure this aross the board? any help would be great
THANKS

RE: CDMA/EV-DO modem usage on XP
I did not have the problem Inbox7 described...I am using XP Pro, maybe it is an XP Home problem? I had this problem: as you plug and unplug the phone, the modem selection for the dialup connection changes from the CBMA modem back to my laptop's built-in modem. So, I have to click "properties" before I hit "connect" and change it.
Is it possible?
I believe so, there are a few programs that will help you out. The 8125 ships with Cingular’s "wireless modem driver".
Would that be on the OEM CD? Also, how do you use it?
If you are using WM6 just start Internet Sharing ...and active sync will automaticaly configure your device as a modem (no driver neded)
If you are using WM5 start Modem Link and use attached files (contains instructions too)
...but will AOL recongnize it as a modem and allow me to connect (dial-up) using the cell phone line instead of my land line?
Maybe, but I doubt it. Your best performance senario would be to use the instructions posted above for establishing a connection to the internet then setting up AOL to use a TCP/IP (Network) connection instead of Dialup. It's been more than a coupl of versions since I've used AOL, but it should be somewhere in the connection settings.
sync up to active sync and then open programs on ur phone then modem link..pretty simple..
try to use Internet Sharing, Good Tool
ya WM5 uses DUN so you will need to activate modem link and have the drivers ready. then you have to create a proper DUN connection
WM6 is hella easy. just activate internet sharing and plug it in. It works as a PAN (like a network adapter) so all you have to do is open a browser after it's plugged in.
AOL will work for both. However it works different for each one. if you use WM5, there is an actual modem that AOL can select. It's called HTC USB modem. You can also setup AOL to use the existing TCP/IP connection. This is how you would do it if you are using WM as well.

I used the above drivers, with wm5 on my 8125 and I'm able to use my phone for Laptop internet access through a USB connection.
This works great.
Only problem is that now, after installing the drivers, when I plug in my device active sync does not communicate with the phone....

Edit:
Nevermind (light-bulb pops into mind as he realizes how to turn "modem link-off" from 8125 menu...

What about if I want to send a fax from either the phone or my computer? How can I dial to remote fax machine?
Thanks for help.
Faxing is so eighties!
Anything that can be faxed, can be scanned!
Anything you can do through a web browser, theoritically can be done, I have never done a search for fax software for WM5, it seems like technologies like the Wizard are on the opposite end of the spectrum from something like the telegraph or fax machine

I have Cingular, and I was told that you have to have a data plan in order to use the phone as a FAX machine. In other words, it's cheaper to use a FAX service.

Well, I am not going to argue the evolution of technologies. In fact, fax is still a tool widely used in today's business - I am sure a fax number shows on everyone's business card.
Staying on topic, the point is whether we can utilize a wizard for a modem to modem dial.
LONG time reader, rare poster! I've been searching for my issue here, but just can't seam to find it.
I see a LOT of posts that WM6 needs no drivers to be used as a modem. Since I've flashed my 8125 to WM6 I have not been able to use it as a modem, BECAUSE it's looking for drivers. I have no internet connection at home (because of a ghetto apartment complex and REALLY old phone lines). I can active sync my phone with no problems, but when I activate Internet Sharing, my computer recognizes an 'unknown device' and doesn't find any native drivers. My goal for this evening is to uninstall the old modem setup that I had pre WM6, in case that is causing any issues. If this doesn't work, does anyone have other ideas? (FYI - running xp pro)
Internet shareing won't go to internet
I am using internet sharing but I still can't connect to internet. Any change or setup on browser? I am using firefox.

Is this also true for a DIAL-UP modem connection? I think this one only works for wifi/GPRS/UMTS etc.... connnections?
Hi all, first post. I LOVE WM6 but can no longer get my Mac to pair with my ATT 750 via bluetooth to be used as a modem. The bluetooth pairing itself is successful, but when I try to dial up as a modem, all I get from my mac is "no line detected".
Does anyone have similar issues or suggestions...?
TIA!
ATT Treo 750 Locked
WM6
Limited 3rd party software
MacBook running osx
Figured it out.
The connection needs to happen from the Treo not the Mac as it did before with WM5.
1. Pair the mac with the Treo as you normally would.
2. On the Treo, under Programs, Internet Sharing, PC Connection, select Bluetooth PAN.
3. Under Network Connection, select AT& T and choose Connect.
On the Mac, click on the Bluetooth Icon and choose Join Network on......(your Treo name should be there).
Start surfing.
I was getting download speeds @ 530kps with the "H" clearly visible on the Treo.
My only question now for you Shamans of Cyberspace is this; will AT&T now know I'm using my Treo as a modem and want the $$ per month?
In order to use the treo 750v as a 3G/UMTS modem for a laptop using the bluetooth link between the laptop and the treo, I believe that a modem initialisation string has to be added in the configuration on the laptop so as to use the modem under 3G/UMTS speeds as opposed to a GSM speed. I have seen some such initialisation strings but do not know whether these are valid for 3G/UMTS. Does anyone have the valid string?

You don' t have to enter a string in the modem settings. With WM6 just select on the Treo the GPRS APN in Start >> Programs >>> Internetsharing:
PC-Connection: Bluetooth
Network connection: your profile defined in settings >>> connection >>> connections
If you want to use a string in the modem settings on your laptop, enter
at+cgdcont=1,"IP","xxx"
(xxx is the APN of your mobile operator
thank you for your information
When the connection is established (which I have done using the string you gave me) is there any indication on the Treo 750 that one is in UMTS/3G? I have established the connection but nothing changes on the Treo 750's display, which usually, when one connects in UMTS/3G , (for instance when the Internet Explorer is launched) usually shows the little "G" and reverse arrows as having set up a UMTS/3G or GPRS connection. (I have used your string as I don't have WM6 yet - I understand that the WM6 has been launched in Australia but not yet for unlocked Treo 750's and that the modified ROM for such an unlocked Treo is not yet available, so I can not use the WM6 method, still having WM5 on my Treo). In other words, does one have any sign that the string you supplied has effectively set up the link from the Treo to the provider ("Orange" in my case) in UMTS/3G or GPRS and that one is not still in GSM
This string is only useable for GPRS/UMTS.
Whether you connect via GSM or GPRS/EDGE/UMTS is triggered by two things:
First what is configured on the Treo in settings >> connections. There must be a cellular line (GPRS,3G) connection with the Orange APN.
Second what is configured in the dial up connection on your laptop.
There must be a dial up number like *99# or *99***1#
When you use these two settings you are always connected via GPRS (or EDGE if Orange supports that) or UMTS.
I have migrated from a Nokia E90 to the Touch Pro. I am a veteran Windows Mobile user, ever since the days of Windows CE, through Pocket PC 2003, 2003SE, 2005 and WM5.
I have a problem - I would like to use Bluetooth DUN to connect my laptop to the net. I used to do this with my Nokia E90 using *99#, so I know my phone provider will provide it. I can connect successfully using Internet Sharing over Bluetooth, but not using Bluetooth DUN. I get error code 678. I need to use Bluetooth DUN as I need to keep use the Bluetooth PAN on the laptop available to connect to my main computer.
Has anyone successfully connected via Bluetoot DUN yet? COuld you try it and let me know?
I've got the same problem. Fine on all previous phones. Now this one gives me this error.
Anyone solved it?

Hi Guys!
Can you help with this problem? I've got this same issue. It's really annoying. I Can't also set up bluetooth connection between TP and my PC (Windows Vista).
Any idea?
See whether this can help.
http://www.windowsmobilecool.com/20...ows-smartphone-to-a-windows-pc-via-bluetooth/
My TP can do the BT DUN from my notebook now, but the problem is that it will disconnect after a short while. I am still trying to find out where is the timeout settings.
I did not look at the link but it looks like you guys have missed the apn information out of your extra initialisation commands for your modem
Ice_coffee: 'apn information out of your extra initialisation commands for your modem'
Can you provide those info ? And where to use it ?
I think this URL provide more detail, it works for me.
http://www.ppcsg.com/lofiversion/index.php/t94416.html
Go to the Device Manager, select properties of the Bluetooth Modem, click on the Advanced tab, paste the following string on the Extra initialization commands:
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet",""
Try to establish Dial Up again, use the following for the dialup dialogue box,
User name: Your Mobile No. [eg. 6591234567]
Password: 65IDEAS [I used this for Singtel]
Dial: *99#
This settings works for me.
excellent instructions here
http://www.filesaveas.com/gprsconnect.html#laptop
including pictures, showing just which settings need adding on your laptop, just copy and paste the gdcont info into the setup screen for your htc usb modem, as per the instructions, you will have to change the apn to the one for your provider.
