Hi all - help!
I am trying to set my TyTN to be a bluetooth modem. The instruction manual is useless.
If I try to connect to my device from my laptop (Dell D610) I get the only option of installing a modem device - I do this but it simply acts as a standard dial-up. I am prompted for a telephone number, username/password. Furthermore there is no generic bluetooth modem displayed in control panel as suggested by the manual.
What I am after is a way to connect my laptop to the TyTN over bluetooth and then use the 3G connectivity as internet access...
I can use the 3G from the phone no probs - so I know the phone is correctly configured in terms of access. It is just the bluetooth part I cannot get working.
It makes no difference if I have wireless modem started or not either...
Help???

OK - I figured this out...
To install Bluetooth modem do this:
1 - activate bluetooth and set TyTN to be discoverable
2 - on laptop search for new device and connect
3 - select dial-up networking service and connect
4 - set up passwords if necessary
5 - when presented with dial-up info, give the connection a name and simpy add *99# as the phone number.
6 - ok this and the connection is set up and a new dial-up conection (mine is COM40) appears in control panel modems.
In order to connect:
1 - turn on bluetooth on TyTN
2 - activate wireless-modem, select bluetooth and hit start
3 - double-click the new connection on the laptop
It should open the BT port, connect and you should be off...
I got 115k/sec using this over 3G

PS - you can also do this using the built in USB modem. Basically, start the wireless-modem app, select USB and hit start. Now plug your USB cable in and when prompted install the driver off the vodafone CD (I used the one is OEM/Apps/Drivers/USBModem). Once installed again put *99# as the phone number of the connection. To use simply start wireless modem as usb, connect the device and dial the new connection name. I got 215k/sec indicated!!!!

The 115K and 215K are default port speeds when you setup the connection. If you select the properties of the Bluetooth and USB Modems you can raise it up to 921K
Thanks for the help, here, rakr1 - I've also been pulling my hair out over this. I got the BT modem recognised (also as COM40) and tried using the Vodafone ConnectMe app but it attempts an unsupported AT command and bombs out. So, using your instructions I've now got my TyTN connected.
However, it's still constrained to 115200bps. The modem properties dialog doesn't let me set it any higher. Ideas? How did you change this, rkorzuch?
Thanks.

Mine only allows up to 230K .... is there a newer driver or something ? i used the link from the wiki.
Thanks!
Oh, as a side note, when I tried to install this -- it said something in computer management that made it sound like it was in beta -- something like Preproduction version, [REMEMBER TO CHANGE SYSID] something along those lines .. is that bad?

Don't pay attention to it - in reality, your TyTN communicates far faster with the desktop. the port speed only hs meaning over serial connections, not over IrDA / BT / USB ones.
(At least, this has always been the case in all my tests.)
sorry to sound stupid an' all, but I'm on t-mobile (UK) and I'd like to know what bearing this has on their "Web 'n' Walk" plans, I'm only on the normal version, rather than the plus or max, so would the methods on this site avoid their notice?
thanks, Forlornity
(oh, and First post! I've been lurking for a while now but decided to register today)

I am not sure if you can connect through the wireless modem, I would expect that your dial up wouldn't work. You can give it a try. Even if they would notice, what can they do? You can always tell them that you did it by accident.
I am pretty sure I've read a post somewhere that someone was doing this for quite a while.
As far as I know the difference comes in the traffic limit, where web and walk should be 1 GB and plus is 3GB.
What's a bluetooth modem?
I followed the steps above and managed to get connected (which is great. thanks Rich!)
However, everytime I try to do this again it gets to the registering on the network phase, I can see the connection, send and receive lights blinking and then it suddenly stops and I get a "error 31 : a device attached to the system is not functioning" error.
Any ideas?
Cheers,

I've a software to control a locator GPS-GSM device and I need my HTC works like a modem. When I put my HTC into the USB must be recognized like a COM (start-control pannel- system-hardware-device administrator) to make a data call via this software. It musn't initiate the Active Sync software.
This software only works when a modem is connected. Before I connected my V3 Motorola Phone.
Any solutions?
Thanks
You can disable the ActiveSync on your PDA, just activate it, Menu -> connections, untick...
But for what reason would you wan't to use it as a modem? use it as a wired GPS device or connect to the Internet using it?
If the First, I'd recommend the Franson GPSGate, for the second use the ICS (internet sharing) App on your PDA...
I want my HTC Cruise was recognized like a modem when I connect it with the PC via USB.
Why?
Because I must download tracks from a GPS-GSM locator device installed into my car to recover my car if it were stolen, via software installed in the PC.
Before I connected my V3 Motorola Phone via USB to the PC, then it was recognized like a modem USB in COM4 for example. Then I set the communications setting from the software and I maked a data call from the software PC via V3 phone to the SIM installed into the car.
Now I need to connect my HTC instead of V3 and I expect it was recognized like a modem in certain COM.
Do you understand me?
Thanks
Yes this can be done.
1. Connect TC to PC like you would to sync. (you do need to make the active sync setting for allow wireless connection is checked)
2. go to progarms on the Pocket PC. There you find an app called Interent sharing.
3. Hit conect once you open the progarm.
4. Do what you need on the net.
I don't need sync the HTC with the PC and I donĀ“t need to connect to the net.
Let's imagine that we want to use the hyperterminal program in the PC, you must select a modem that it's installed in a certain COM with a desired speed, protocol, etc
Do you understand now?
Thank you.
I guess I'm seeing where this is headed...
Basicly you wan't the PDA to show up as a Dial-Up modem... I've done a bit of searching and with WM6, the dial-up modem function has been effectively replaced by the ICS, the main reason is, it was a b*tch to configure for internet access, and that is use of it in 99% of cases...
Unless the program you're using needs to actually see the modem I'd try to configure the ICS (add an extra connection) to connect to it... if it needs to see it as a modem, (and you want to keep the PDA), get a cheap phone that you can occasionally use as a modem for this task
Using the ICS will disable the activesync for that connection, but if you wan't to disable the activesync just follow the steps mentioned before...
I reckon bluetooth is the only way to go for this, need to dig out my BT dongle to check but I think it should allow you to use the phones dial-up service.
Maybe this?
Maybe you need this?

I have a Sprint Touch Pro 2 and am trying to use QPST, Bitpim or CDMA Workshop with it. However, whenever I plug it in and it gets detected by windows mobile device center (I'm using windows 7) It places it as a Portable device in Device Manager and won't list it as a Port. Whenever I use QPST, etc. they won't detect the USB, and instead only look for COM1 or COM2. If I manually try to add a "COM3"..etc. It says it either isn't accessible or busy.
Is there ANYTHING i can do to fix this? I just want QPST to recognize my phone so I can change settings. I've been looking for fixes for a good number of hours...can't find any. =(
Before connecting to PC, open phone dialer type ##3424# Then connect to PC after abt 10 sec.
Hi.
I've come across a HTC Clic Diagnostics HBoot. Besides many other things, it has a test mode called "F/T1 Test". When selected, this options asks for a USB connection (from the Tattoo to a PC). Under Linux, this registers as a USB serial port, but I haven't been able to "talk" with the Tattoo yet.
As anyone ever come across such a feature ? Any tips on setting up the connection, so that I can talk to the Tattoo, from Linux ?
Thanks
So I want to connect but I cant seem to add port in QPST config. I have usb debug turned on and have entered the service menu with 3845#*801#. I am wondering if it is because of the LG ADB Sooner driver that is causing the problem? Or is there another configuration I need to enable. I had no problem doing this with all of my old phones once I found out what the heck needed to be changed. Thanks.
