Vox (S710) Wireless Mixed Mode - HTC Vox

Hi, I have an Orange SPV E650 which is a branded HTC Vox (S710). It is a great device, but I have one major gripe. I can only connect to wireless access points that are configured for WPA/TKIP. If the AP is configured as WPA2/AES or mixed mode (i.e. both WPA and WPA2) I have no joy. I can successfully connect to these other APs using a laptop so I know they work. I have had to resort to downgrading the security on my home AP so that I can access wireless internet from my PDA. So my question is has anyone been able to successfully connect an HTC Vox (S710) or an Orange SPV E650 to a wireless access point in WPA2/AES mode or mixed mode. I have a theory that this can't be done and want to raise it with HTC and/or Microsoft, but wanted to check here first.
Cheers.

SPV M5000 Won't Connect With Active Sync

My new M5000 syncs fine with my office PC. When I try to sync at home the device isn't found and so no partnership is set up. Strangely, it establishes a LAN Connection when I try to connect. Anyone got any suggestions ?
ps I've searched the forums without any joy.
pps I ain't too sure what I'm doing but had no problems with my Qtek 9090 (XDA2s) syncing on both machines.

Using GPRS while docked via usb cradle

Apologies if this is in the wrong area. I have spent alot of time researching this issue and im yet to find a resolution. I am working in area with a strict SOE on the dekstop PC. I have an O2 XDA Atom. with activesync 4.5 I am using GPRS to connect to the internet on my o2 this is working fine. however the problem occurs when i dock the O2 into its cradle. the GPRS connection will cut and i wont be able to reconnect it. I have changed the properties of activesync and my O2 between 'my work' and 'the internet' to no joy. I realise i can do this by turning off accept usb connections in activesync but then i cannot control my O2 with the software installed on my machine..
what i want to be able to do is run MSN on my O2 continually all day and be able to view the screen from my desktop along with it syncing my calendar etc. if there is any articles which can help me that would be good ive been trying to resolve this for some time now to no avail.
Thankyou in advance

How to configure WM6 internet sharing using WIFI

Does anyone know how to configure WM6 internet sharing using WIFI via USB to a laptop PC which does not have WIFI?
When I click on the internet sharing, my Qtek 9000 running WM6 always tries to do GPRS/3G connection, even if the WIFI is on and fully functional.
Is there anyway to change that?
Thank you in advance.
From what I understand is that is does exactly what you explain, it will share your device's GPRS/3G internet connection. But I dont think you can turn the Qtek into an accesspoint for laptops to connect to via WiFi or share an incomming WiFi signal.
Biffert,
Yes, you are correct. I want to turn my Qtek 9000 as a WIFI/GPRS/BlueTooth Access Point. Or simply view it as a WIFI/GPRS/BlueTooth internet access super USB dodge for my PC.
Thank you for your pointing out about current internet sharing limitation of WM6.
However, there are two issues about the WIFI can not be shared.
One is that I am often in a place where has no GPRS, only have WIFI.
The other is that there are many regular PDAs which have no GPRS, only have WIFI. When WM6 is available for those regular PDAs, many people will ask this internet sharing via WIFI question.
Thank you.
Hello,
I have done this just now and what you need to do on WM6 is just configure the gprs / 3g settings on your mobile phone and then go to start-programs-internetsharing. The jasjar should be connected via usb.
Set the pc connection to USB and select the nework connection you have previously configured from the list. hit the connect button and you are done

You could use the GPRS/3G internet sharing to connect your notebook to the internet, and share that connection (using ICS) from the notebook (set the wifi card to Ad-Hoc mode). I have never tried this though, so I'm 100% sure it will work
Thank you to all for your suggestions.
The limitation is that if there is not GPRS available, even though my Qtek is already connected to internet (WIFI), my PC is not able to access internet via USB using Qtek 9000 WM6 internet sharing.
I think that I need to describe the situation in detail.
I have a PC which can not access internet because it does not have WIFI, or BlueTooth, or GPRS. But it has a USB port.
I have a Qtek 9000 which can access internet by either WIFI, or GPRS, or BlueTooth. And my Qtek 9000 has WM6 internet sharing enabled.
What I want to do is to connect PC with Qtek 9000 via USB cable to let my PC to access internet using Qtek 9000 WM6 internet sharing.
Idealy, regardless how my Qtek 9000 is connected to internet (WIFI, GPRS, BlueTooth and etc.), my PC should be able to access internet via USB cable using Qtek 9000 WM6 internet sharing.
The current WM6 internet sharing is limited to that if Qtek 9000 is connected to GPRS internet, my PC is able to access internet via USB cable using Qtek 9000 WM6 internet sharing. If Qtek 9000 is connected to WIFI internet, WM6 internet sharing will not work.
I think this issue will be resolved sooner or later because when regular PDAs start to use WM6, many people will want to have WIFI WM6 internet sharing because regular PDAs do not have GPRS.

Between PCs and regular PDAs, usually the internet connection sharing would go the other way around. Nearly all laptops these days come with a Wifi card and virtually all desktop or laptops come with Ethernet NICs. For this reason I think that perceived demand is low and this functionality was not envisioned when WM6 ICS was designed.
I think the easiest way would be to get a USB wifi adapter for your PC... You won't have to worry about battery life on the phone, etc.
Wondering how possible it is to do something slightly different. I have a UTStarcom PPC-6700 running one of the various AKU3.5s out there. The Internet Sharing feature is great, but the only options are to connect the PC via either USB or Bluetooth.
Now, what would be really slick, since the 6700 has integrated WiFi, would be to enable Internet Sharing over WiFi and effectively turn the 6700 into a WiFi access point. Anyone make any progress on this?
And... I'm new here, so please accept my apologies if I have asked something that has been already asked ad nauseum.

Yes, sharing EVDO over WiFi instead of bluetooth and USB is already possible. Just click here to see how..

Bluetooth Dailup?

Hello,
Im a new owner of a HTC S710, i like the phone and i previously owned a Orange SPC C600. And im a proud owner of an Dell Axim X51v.
In the past i could go discover with my Dell Axim the bluetooth devices and see the c600 and see its bluetooth dailup service. i used that to automatically make connection with the phone and dail up when i the axim needed a connection.
But now with the S710 it only finds an accesspoint to witch it won't connect. and i really want the dailup back so it automatically connects.
How can that be done?
Greetings, Marcus

You will want to install the Widcomm BT stack on your Axim. It supports BT PAN client mode.
Also see my related articles - I've published a LOT of articles on this problem.
Hello,
I have the widcomm stack on my axim, and it worked fine with my C600 but now with the S710 the service just is not there? There is no option for a bluetooth dailup when clicking on cennect to a phone for internet.

HI!
I had a Blue Angel, I used to conect to my other phone(CDMA) via bluetooth for dialup net access(I get free Mb per month there plus its faster(EVDO). My Vox does not see the dial up service on my other phone. Is there anyway to make it find the dial up service?

Using Palm PDA with vox

Hi,
I wonder if anyone has been able to use the vox/ htc e650 as a modem with a palm pda.
I used to use my spv c550 and old e200 with a T3 no problems at all, both with infrared and with bluetooth.
I can pair my e650 and send files to/from the devices but no amount of fiddling with the connections work to enable dial up gprs.(*99# on orange node)
I worked out how to set this up on the older spvs when I worked for orange so they could update their internal pages when people called about this but canoot get it working on vox models.
I have tried setting generic gsm phone or universal phone driver which worked on my old spv so am guessing that something has been changed in the way it uses modem drivers or windows mobile.
Can anyone help ?
Thanks
it seems I found the answer after looking thru the forums.
Discovered the cab that allows DUN via bluetooth instead of the pan internet sharing which I don't thing the palm supports anyway.
One thing I noticed is that there is nothing on the phone to indicate a connection is in progress.
On previous spv phones and ipaq I has 2 arrowa to show data connection was made.
Is this usual on vox or just a quirk of the dun workaround ?
