I have searched for the last 3 days and can not come up with anything.
I upgraded to wm6 awhile back and on wm5 I was using dialup networking which worked perfectly.
Now with wm6 I guess you dont have dun anymore, so there's something called Internet sharing.
I found the Internet sharing feature 2 days into my trying to get dun working.
So my problem is Internet sharing does not seem to work.
I run the Internet sharing apps on the mda wm6 phone and it seems like its doing something as it says "connected"
,but when I try and find a bluetooth service from the laptop the only service available is serial port.
I tried using the microsoft bluetooth drivers and figured they were crap and not working so I got the d-link drivers finally working and still nothing.
I am wondering if my Faria's cooked rom is missing something.
Any ideas?
Jeff
I gave up
well... after playing some more I just figured too much was corupted in the registry/rom (faria) for Internet sharing to work.
I flashed to XDA 6.0 and Internet sharing worked perfect.
Now I have to reinstall everthing by hand
I think thats were the problem was as during my upgrade from wm5, I thought I would try and save the reinstall step and I restored from a backup, most things worked ,but little things still didnt work.
hope this helps someone

BT - Internet Sharing - Macs
Well, glad you got it working. I posted a quick set of instructions on my blog for how to connect WM6/BT/Internet Sharing with a Macintosh (since people were a bit confused as to how to do it).

Hi,
I have been using Palm Treo 750v in Malaysia for few days now and have tried everyway to get DUN setup for my Bluetooth connection but i can't get it work.
My BT Software on notebook discover and setup the BT DUN for my Palm but once i say connect it sends the request to ph but then gave me an error of "Failed to Connect"
Am i missing something here? I have been using BT DUN for ages with other PPC5 phones and even with nokia and sonyericsson phones. This is the first time i have encountered this problem.
Any solution?
Hi,
had the same problem. add the following string in Modem --> Properties---> Advanced tab and it shud work. APN is access point name or network. let me
know how it goes.
+cgdcont=1,"IP","APN"
Thanks a lot man. This is great i did as u said and it works. But honestly i don't know how and why it works this time, cuz i have always put the string in the Modem settings, the only thing different was i never put "IP" inside but cuz still the string was working fine with my HTC Tytn and other phones so i never thought the problem could be with the string anyways.
Thanks a lot now it works
Hallo, same problem here.
However I followed your suggestion but it is still not working.
Problem seems to be that connection cannot be established (infact call to the provider is properly forwarded).
I tried with two different providers, Vodafone and Wind, but results are the same.
Any more tips to try, please?
Thanks

I was wondering if anyone has got the Blackberry client working on a Treo 750v running WM6?

The BB connect don't work with WM6 actually...
from Palm : Do not Install this update if you are using Blackberry Connect (BBC). Palm Windows Mobile 6 does not support the BBC service...
this is a BB connect CAB...made by HTC
it's basically made for AT&T tilt (8925) = Kaiser
I guess it'll work with any WM6 pro device...

thanks to duke911
or download cab file to your pc:

edit: thanks for the correction!
Corrected BB Connect URL...

Tried this and it won't work for me.
Has anyone actually got this working on a Treo750?
It gets an IP for about a second but then it drops it.
Same here w/ 750c. Gets an IP address for a few seconds and drops to no connection. BTW I am using BBC 4.0.0.90, you can find it on sems.org. I wonder if anyone w/ the Voda or the Aussie ROM would give a shot to this BBC version to see if it makes any difference.
Thanks,
HC
I guess it's the same problem as elsewhere, where you need to change the machine type in window.nb (I think). Only problem is I can't find an easy explanation of how to do this.
I was trying BBC 4.0.0.90 with Voda ROM and no luck.
Strange thing today on my 750c - Got PIN
Hi all,
It seems that something is changing w/ either RIM or ATT. I installed again today BBC 4.0.0.90 onto my 750c w/ WM6 ATT leaked ROM, after the normal reboot, surprisingly, BBC service connected to the network and I got a PIN. Clearly it said "Connected" on the status tab. Well, I connected the device to my laptop and ran the BBC Desktop, the system was provisioned properly (I think ...), Notes Backend, but now it fails to connect to Blackberry, same symptoms as before, even after multiple soft resets, see comments above. I'll play around some more w/ it and let you all know if I get anything to work. In the mean while, if anyone else has any success, please share ....
Good luck
HC
I have WM 6.1 installed using BB Connect 4.0.0.97 and its a no go. Oddly enough, I tried the same thing on an earlier Vodaphone WM5 ROM and it still didn't work...any suggestions?
Btw, I get the same issues as above, I have a PIN listed (and IP address for a short time if I Suspend and Resume) but then when I attempt to input the PIN into my online BIS account and switch devices is says the information can't be verified.
Hi,
New to the forum, I found it while looking for an upgrade from WM5 to WM6 for my 2125. A fantastic source of information! I upgraded to Phil's Windows Mobile 6 for Tornado BETA, and everything went smooth as silk... until I disconnected from ActiveSync. I have full Internet access through ActiveSync with my laptop, but as soon as I disconnect the Internet connection fails. The phone works fine, and it pops in and out of the Edge network just like normal. I read though the beta thread, but nothing sounds quite like what I'm experiencing. Other than Internet, the phone and all the other features work perfect!
Any suggestions, oh wise ones?
Thanks,

* whew * finally figured it out... I needed to add back in all my Cingular network settings...
Here's the Cingular instructions for anyone else who is upgrading their phone and neglected to copy down all network settings beforehand...

Hi there,
I am having some very annoying problems with my phone and getting it to connect to the internet. I have the Orange branded SPV E650 and have flashed it with the new Windows Mobile 6.5 beta rom. Strangely (as with other roms aswell so Im not saying its a problem with them rom!) I cannot access the internet on it. I have tried going to the Orange website and getting the GPRS connection settings sent and they saved fine and I can see them but IE still wont connect with the following error: "Failed to connect to the internet. Data coverage may be unavailable". So after those settings didn't work I deleted them and tried using the Connection Setup application which retrieved settings based on my Orange network provider and being based in UK. That also inputs settings on to my phone but also IE still fails to connect. By doing it that way it sets up a proxy in connections but unsure if that helps, as whether i keep it and try to connect or delete it I still can't connect! I have signal so thats not the problem and also Orange say everythings ok at their end. Also in comms manager with the Data connections I cannot turn it on, a "G" icon on the signal icon in task bar flashes on and off, toggles between them like its trying to connect but does nothing eventually.
Im really stuck and tried different roms but experience the same!
Any ideas guys? Would love to receive some of the great knowledge found here!
Many thanks!
Craig

when i too faced the same problem, i tried this... u can also try, it might work for you too.
in the internet explorer, goto tools, options select connect to internet, instead of auto!
Hi guys,
I had the same problem with my SPV E650 ( aka HTC VOX ) . The problem is related to the WIFI adapter who keeps its IP number although not in use. You have to release manually the IP , or , better , go to : Start , Settings, Connections , select GPRS but do not click on it ! , ratter go menu ( bottom right ) , Advanced ( the only option ) , and there on Internet connection go to Orange Internet instead of Automatic, and voila ! ( or at least for me it worked fine ! )

P.S. please keep me posted. Thanks ,
Hi all,
I have the exact same problem. The phone, SPV E650 (HTC S710), orange branded, reflashed to WM6.5, tried more versions, but i can't get it to connect to the internet. No one found any solutions?
I have the same problem but even with the wifi, is
Explorer from MSN as I fix that?
Mine is a S710
ok, I found the solution in my case. the operator had to start the internet service for my number. weirdly, I had it activated some time ago...
hi guys, i no longe have a vox, now got a Touch Pro 2 (and loving it!) but the problem was that despite my request for internet with my service provider, they hadn't actually activated it, so all my attempts to solve a 'problem with my phone' were pointless lol. good luck guys!
I've exchanged my Vox to TP2 too. which Rom do you use on it?

I use The Cell Series V6 (eagerly awaiting V7 soon to be released!). It is perfect for me, it is fast and responsive, no problems with any feature like bluetooth/wifi not working and it has far better graphics than any other rom I have tried. If you haven't tried it i would suggest you do!
How about u?
Win Mob 6.5
I suggest an upgrade to winmo 6.5. It’s a great OS and works brilliantly on the Touch 2 Pro. The Honeycomb menu makes browsing so convenient. The windows Market Place is packed with Many applications that will interest you!
I installed Skype on my HTC 8525/Hermes (custom Schap's ROM for 6.0) a few months ago and it installed with no problem but just won't connect. It goes through the motions with the swirling icon, but finally times out. The same happened when I installed Skype on my 'new' TG01. I looked in the WM forums here and someone said to try a different ROM. I'm now on my 2nd ROM, FXDJ's excellent 6.5 ROM2_0,update 6, and still have the same problem. Of course, I tried it first with the original Orange 6.5 version. I've also tried 3 different Skype versions for WM that all installed with no errors. If anyone has a solution I would really appreciate it! BTW, during install it says have to have wi-fi/Active Sync or 3G connection. We don't even have 2G in this area of Thailand so connected to Internet via Active Sync.
Thanks in advance!
I tried my luck with Skype on TG01 a long time ago, both winmo6.1 and 6.5, found some outdated (even at that moment) skype winmo kits but they didn't seem to work anymore. Skype communication being proprietary, they can change it whenever they want, thus rendering old kits useless...
If however anybody does have Skype on Tg01, please share it with us the noobs that don't know that it works on winmo... Thanks

Greetings a_nini75,
I do remember a Skype announcement last year IIRC saying they weren't going to support WM anymore, but I thought that was just for software updates. Also, other WM users here seem to still be able to connect. My brother has been using Skype on his BB Storm 2 with no problems until recently when it suddenly would not connect to the Skype server. He called his telecom to see if they were blocking the connection but they said no blocking whatsoever. Now that M$ bought Skype one would think that WM support would rise from the ashes. Sure hope someone has a fix!

Hi Pere,
Thanks for the link. I have this version already and it didn't work, but downloaded and installed it from your link and it's doing the same thing...showing the Skype white and blue screen with the spinning icon, but not connecting. I confirmed that my Internet connection was good before starting it. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Greetings pozitiv00,
I've tried that over and over again with 2 different phones, 2 different versions of WinMo and 2 or 3 or 4 different Skypemobile cab/exe files and it still won't connect. The Skype icon just spins. I wonder if connecting directly via USB to Windows Mobile Device Center (W7 Ult.) might cause a problem, since my D-Link Wi-Fi modem is in the shop...again. I've also tried connecting to Skype via cell tower, also no joy. I can peruse any other website except Skype.
This is baffling!
Yeahhh
I can send you CAB-file for SKYPE that works, and U can send me code of some PPC programs whats need it .
OK?

Sure, just send me a PM. I'm not having a problem with installing any of the Skype versions, they just won't connect. They go through all the motions, but just won't connect to the Skype server. As far as PPC programs I'll be happy to share whatever I have.
Thanks!
