Cingular says I cant use my 8525 as a modem- Is that true or BS?

I find it hard to believe the 8525 cant be used as a modem. I have a laptop and want to use my 8525 as a modem since I dont have a wireless aircard. I called Cingular and they said the 8525 has software issues that doesnt allow it to be a modem. Is this true? If it is false, what do i need to do to make it work as a modem? Ive searched the forums here and didnt find anything.
Thanks

The 8525 User Manual tells you how to do it.

the way the manual says doesnt work. Was on with tech support 4 hours last night going thru the manual.

Oh,
You might have a unique issue.
Mine works great! (I do the usb connection)

Bluetooth to a MacBook here on a TyTN with Cingular... works flawlessly and fast!

yes, please share.
My particular problem is that my computer is not recognzing my phone. When I go into properties it just has a yellow question mark and doesnt recognize it as a modem.

No special knowledge here.
Just followed the directions in the user manual.
How about when you guys are in the 'wireless modem' app,
are you choosing 'menu' and then 'start'?

it said it couldnt find just the drivers. The cd just has active sync and outlook. How do I extract just the drivers? My computer isnt recognizing it as a modem.

OK, on my phone i activated the modem, then plugged it in via usb, after i did that then i get the "Welcome to the Found New Hardware Wizard". i then chose "Install from list or specific location" and click next. Then i checked the box for "Search Removable media" **ONLY** and clicked next. Then you get a pop up, choose continue anyway. after its done you will get a pop up stating it successfully installed HTC USB Modem. THen it will install a few other things but no more pop ups. voila all is done...

I just did that, says it found new hardware, then bam, nothing. Cant find it either anywhere. I click on that window, to search, and it finds nothing.

I clipped this from the User Manual:
"To add your device as a USB modem to your computer
1. After you tap Menu > Start on the Wireless Modem screen of your device, your computer will automatically detect that your device has been connected. The Found New Hardware dialog box will then appear on your computer.
2. In the Found New Hardware dialog box, select Install from a list or specific location (Advanced) and click Next.
3. Select Search for the best drivers in these locations.
4. Insert the Getting Started Disc into your CD drive. Select the Include this location in the search check box. Click Browse and choose the CD drive and root folder where the modem driver is located, then click Next.
5. Wait for the installation to complete, then click Finish."
If after you do as shogunmark says, you computer still does'nt recognize it,
Then it may have already installed itself w/ the wrong drivers.
Go to 'Device Manager' and see if the device is listed.

EDIT- Device is listed with a yellow ? saying NOT RECOGNIZED.

Restore driver from console

Hi there,
In one of the topics here, I found a program to rotate the screen of my Qtek 8300. This required the use of another video driver.
When installing the driver, I chose to install in to my storage card. This turned out not to be a very wise choice. When I ran the program, and switched to the other driver, my phone rebooted.
However, now it does not boot anymore. It hangs while displaying the blue Qtek startup screen. It probably can't find the new driver. My thoughts on how to fix this (excluding a hard reset) are either:
-starting up with some sort of "safe mode". Does WM5 support this, and if so, how can I enter this mode?
-moving the driver from my storage card to the internal memory of the phone via the bootloader console. Is this possible?
Can anyone please tell me whether either of these options has a chance of working? I would appreciate it a lot .

you dint follow the instructions on how to install the rotation app i bet you dint install the certificates the developer clearly states that if you don't install the specified certificates it will make you hard reset thus,you will have to reinstall the rom on your phone. its your only option mate sry

I read the topic but there was no mention of certificates. Of course my phone is unlocked to accept strange apps, but that's probably not what you mean.

go to the rotation tool post and search for the guide i made it has the links for them

Are you sure? Will have another look then.
This was a nice opportunity to upgrade to WM6 . Too bad though I lost my contacts etc.

G-mail setup??

Does anyone know how to set up your g-mail without having the data plan from t-mobile. I am an att user and cannot figure out the answer to this. Whenever I try my g-mail account gets rejected and i just get a message that reads "There is a problem communicating with the google servers: This could be a temporary problem or your SIM card may not be provisioned for data services." I cannot enable wi-fi because i can't get past this stupid g-mail setup to get to the actual home screen.

Search google for AT&T APN settings. Or go to http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f41/how-to-use-your-g1-on-at-and-t-without-a-data-plan-8735/

Vista just says that "windows has determined that the drivers for this device are up to date" and will not let me install any new ones or change the old ones.

change the host file , try changing the regedit method , tried using device manager to troubleshoot the device driver.
it just cant work. im doing the correct steps . i even flash wp7 again to double confirm my steps.
i have my key already , im just lacking this step to proceed further.

HELP ??

The instructions you can find here are all pretty clear and they work.
I went according to this one:
1. Install WP7 sdk Windows Phone Developer Tools;
2. Install zune;
3. Make partneship with zune and phone;
4. Attach the ChevronWP7.cer(you found in the toolkit) to your email and send the email to your email itself (On PC);
5. Login to your email account (On Phone), Open the email, Select attachment and install the cert;
6. Connect your phone to pc and make sure zune is running in background;
7. Run the unlocker (ChevronWP7.exe) and click unlock button(Make sure your phone date is set correctly)
(you need to close skype and disable network adapter.. hamachi.. wireless.. Dropbox.. etc)
6. Install toms .xap installer;
7. Deploy Connection Setup.xap, Touch Xplorer.xap and XBMODDeployer.xap (Install it on the phone and run XBMODDeployer.xap);
8. Copy the .provxml from the ringtons folder to the windows folder (on the phone using touch explorer app);
9. Run connection setup to install the .provxml;1. Install WP7 sdk Windows Phone Developer Tools;
2. Install zune;
3. Make partneship with zune and phone;
4. Attach the ChevronWP7.cer(you found in the toolkit) to your email and send the email to your email itself (On PC);
5. Login to your email account (On Phone), Open the email, Select attachment and install the cert;
6. Connect your phone to pc and make sure zune is running in background;
7. Run the unlocker (ChevronWP7.exe) and click unlock button(Make sure your phone date is set correctly)

8. Copy the .provxml from the ringtons folder to the windows folder (on the phone using touch explorer app);
9. Run connection setup to install the .provxml;
You are probably just missing a step

you must be doing something wrong ..cause as i just stated above all the tool and unlocker still works as it did 3 months ago...check some of tutorials in the forum...

hi , i connected my phone using wpconnect , im still having same problem

Check your hosts file.
If it contains following entry, Chevron will not work:
127.0.0.1 developerservices.windowsphone.com

I cant remember where I read this but it helped.After completing the above instructions,Open task manager(Ctrl ,Alt &del).Go to processes ,select zune launcher and click on end process.reboot pc ,connect phone , wait for it to sync wit zune ,if it doesnt ,run zune then run chevron and you are done.I did this for 3 phones and it worked.hope this helps.good luck.

another confirmation that the unlocker still works for me without any problems at all...i dont nor havent deleted any host files or changed any setting at all within the machine. I have had one or two problems with it not working, the first problem i ever had when i first started using the unlocker was the registry key not being edited correctly... and for the second time it didnt work, all i did was unplug device and let re sync...tick, tick BOOM unlocked!! Besides those couple times it has always worked for me...Bought a new machine today and installed tools, then zune software and created account " naming phone " and installed chevron, opened and unlocked....if you have sdk tools installed and have the unlocker installed, with zune software completely set up and phone communicating with zune, not as guest...and you will change the relationship from guest to " whatever you name your phone " during setup... haven a complete and main relationship with phone " not guest " is one of the most important parts with zune!!! The other most important part is making sure the registry is edited and should look like this...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsPhone\ProxyPorts]
“DeviceReg”=dword:000069C5
the window phone developer tools will edit reg for you...i have learned that if you relock the phone it sometime can takes a little while for things to click and be able to unlock again!!
So there is nothing wrong with any of the tools or unlocker, so if your having problems tripple check your zune settings to accomplish a non guest relationship, and check your reg. edit.....most problems i have seen and heard about are ppl and their zune!

how do you ensure that it is not GUEST?
i seem to be unable to get it to sync with ZUNE

Wow... you can come and work on our helpdesk any time, they log calls about as badly as you explain a problem lol.
You've said it's "not working". Why isn't it working? Where are you getting up to? Are you getting an error message?
Have you deleted all entries of Developerservices... from your host file?

make sure you have corrected date and time
and if possible use SIM Card with "big operator" in your country (well known operator)
sorry for bad english, using google translate

Hi there... I already:-
1. Format my HTC HD7 sdCard - Done
2. Flash My HTC - Done
3. Change my OS from Windows 7 32bit to 64bit, vice versa - done.
4. Used the correct usb cable - Checked & Done
5. Soft Reset and Hard Reset the phone - Done
6. Restore to factory setting - Done
7. Remove and install ZUNE - Done
All has been done. But still failure..

I'm not using any antivirus. and my pc is only used by me. quite tough for me to find the solution. the phone completely work with zune past few month. but now.. everything goes fakap. I was able to install any apps from market place without problem.. (which means, the sistem or the sdcard is good) but unable to be detected by ZUNE software.

only thing i can think of from here on is to completely wipe all memory of the phone from your pc and try again. in zune on the desktop > settings (top rightish) > phone tab > "forget this phone".
then connect the phone to the PC and start up device manager (start, type it into search). you should see your phone come up there. if it doesn't, try a different usb port. if it does, right click on it and uninstall. when uninstalling also delete the driver itself (should be a checkbox asking).
then restart PC and try to sync again.
if this doesn't work... my final 2 suggestions are wait till the update, or claim under warranty for a new device.
