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.

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

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
many of the devices are support only wi-fi signal "b" and i remember that with a simple registry tweak this "b" devices can connect to the wireless "g" of cousre in 11Mbps standart.
it would be perfect if ROM creators/modifiers can make this registry tweak direct ready without tweak it manually as this is very usefull and i mean mandatory to connect any wireless that gives only "g".
thanks
Why would you need this tweak on a prophet?
The prophet has both b&g wifi.
The reason is so that you can keep your home network as "all-g" and "b-free".
You can then set your router to g-mode only, which results in faster speeds all around than in mixed mode, even to your other networked wireless computers.

I have 6 wifi access points at home. All are set to "G only".
My prophet links easily to any of these points, and automatically transfers it's association with the different points as I move around the house.
Thus all computers in
the house can only connect to the G band.
So again I say, there is no need for such a tweak.
i have checked my device and found that it is only "b" and cannot connect any "g" so i heared from some sources that witha registry trick it can connect to wireless "g".
if Qtek S200 supports b/g then why my device cannot connect any "g" ?

That is possible.
I have read that some phones sold in China are missing the wifi chip, so different markets may offer different configurations of the same model.
Check the technical specs of your phone on the package it came in to see if it supports "g" wifi.
Otherwise maybe you have a hardware fault.
In any case a registry tweak may be of help to you.
Well, that's odd. I've never heard of any "factory" Prophet ROMs with 'g' mode enabled by default w/o a reg hack. Which ROM are using, and is it possible the chef spiced it up a bit?

I am using an imate Jamin G3 version.
As far as I can recall it worked on "g mode only" out of the box.
I have changed rom many times and am currently using Jester's 3.3 beta1.
All roms I tried were just as compatible.
No chef here only a part time maid.
Maybe theaks2k2net can do this.
Strange because any prophet will connect to g, however you might have a weird phone/rom, try this:
HKLM\COMM\TNETWLN1\Parms\dot11SupportedRateMask = 1 (DWORD decimal)
HKLM\COMM\TNETWLN1\Parms\dot11SupportedRateMaskG = 8 (DWORD decimal)
To set back to default:
HKLM\COMM\TNETWLN1\Parms\dot11SupportedRateMaskG = 4 (DWORD decimal)
i have checked my registry setting and found that only HKLM\COMM\TNETWLN1\Parms\dot11SupportedRateMask = 1 (DWORD decimal) is enabled and no the second registry setting in my prophet which is HKLM\COMM\TNETWLN1\Parms\dot11SupportedRateMaskG = 8.
i will add this second setting to my prophet and will try to connect g signals.
thanks.
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.
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?
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.
