gprs connection over bluetooth - PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General

This might sound stupid but I have a question. I am trying to connect my xda2i to the internet trough a Motorola v3. The reason I’m doing this is that I don’t need the xda2i as a mobile. I have a Motorola v3 I bought trough the office with an unlimited GPRS access. O2 did a couple of terrible mistakes with my business account and probably being afraid that we are going to sue them, they tried to befriend me by sending me this xda2i. I don’t want to use a new number so all I want to do is connect my V3 with this xda2i. It seems that it won’t work for some reason that eludes me. Is there anyone here able to help me with few ideas?

I have tried this a few times and it appears that the required software is not installed on the XDA IIi.
Why not unlock the XDA IIi and use yout Voda SIM in it?

Xda2i and Bluetooth
Hi guys
Like you I have tried over and over to get my 2i to talk to a bluetooth device and connect to the net ( I brought a small blue tooth modem that I can plug into a Wall phone socket ) , But no Joy .
Ive searced lots of forums and as you have , have been told that some of the software is missing from the blue tooth section . Its a real bummer cos it means we are trapped to wifi or GPRS the latter being very expensive .
Would really appreciate a patch to make this work if any clever people are reading .

Is the XDA IIi really any more reliable than the PDA2K????

Hi
I Have had my PDA2K for nearly a year and I have to say it has been the most unreliable phone I have ever owned.
I have updated it with all the latest ROMs and STILL I get calls where th e other end cannot hear me, where I have to reboot because it runs out of some memory area and cannot enable Bluetooth, it crashes.
It won't reconnect to GPRS after a voice call, poor bluetooth reception, people complaining they can hear funny noises when I am on bluetooth need I go on?
I was thinking of getting the XDAIIi and using it on the Vodafone network but what I need to know is am I trading one problematic phone for another?
Once I am off the O2 network how do I get ROM upgrades what are the gotcha's that are going to get me?
THis may have been asked before but I could not see and any help would be gratefully accepted.
Robin
Robin,
XDA 2i is not much different than what you have, it just has an enhanced processor and is WIFI enabled, Thats all. It also depends upon the hardware, most of the people get lucky with good ones and few of them unlucky. but in the end of the day, the Key to keep these kind of phones clean and dont stuff too many softwares into it, if kept in original form they could do wonders too.
All the best

These are known issues with the Blue Angel. Carrier Devices is working on these issues now. I have no idea when they will be issuing an update. I can try my CD Contacts, but they are notorious for not answering e-mail...
Hi Chris thanks for the response.
So no real difference between IIs and IIi in reliability terms?
I don't suppose you know if the dock and USB cables are interchangeable between the IIs and IIi?

xda mini s and carkit

Hi,
I'm going to buy an xda mini s after seeing my mates, but it would not work with my vauxhall factory-fit carkit, not only did it not share the phonebook over bluetooth like my Nokia 6280 but it also kept disconnecting after about 20 seconds even if you weren't making a call.
From reading this forum i've gathered that the AKU that is out for Windows Mobile 5 will sort the phonebook sharing and possibly sort out the connection issue as well but what I haven't gathered is which rom's do what. I'm not going to ask which rom is best as I can see it's not as simple as that, but if someone could suggest a few roms that might be suitable for an uk o2 sim card and will have the aku. I'm not fussed about it having extra software in, i only want it to work with my carkit and do push mail with exchange 2003 sp2.
Any help you can give me would be appreciated, I have made the effort to read the forums, but I'm a little overwhelmed by the amount of information !!
Cheers
Andy
hi, ive got a bluetooth car kit and dont have no probs, mine doesnt have the capability to share the phone book but i havent had any connection issues. ive flashed the Mr.Clean ROM to my T-mobile UK MDA and seems to be good. it has push e-mail and AKU2. been using it for a few weeks and seems fine. hope this helps a little.

Bluetooth GPRS

I have a Unlocked Wing with no service provider. I pretty much use it to go on the net and read emails via wifi. I also have a samsung t509 with tmobile and tzones. I have been trying to get my wing to use my samsungs GPRS via bluetooth so I can check my emails with out being at a wifi access point, but I have had no luck with this. I have tried just about everything. Any tips? The reason I dont just use the wing is because I work 80-120 ft in the air and I dont want to bring a phone that expensive up there (If anyone was wondering). Any help would be much appreciated.

Well you can always get a cell phone chain and connect it to the bottom left corner.
That works but the weather still kills phones (Rain, Snow...). Thanks for pointing out the obvious and not helping with a solution though!

Have you called Orange?
Im on orange and it works fine although my mate also is, and he was having this problem yesterday.
He rang orange and they confirmed a problem and they were already working on it, but had no ETA.
Give them a call for an update
thanks for the info guys, orange confirmed the problem but gave no ETA for a fix.
Im having problems today.
I can connect fine and use quite afew sites but some (like xda dev for example) comes up with orange safeguard and says that the site may be for over 18's and cant determine who i am. Weird because it only does it on some sites - i tried red tube as a test and it lets me on there! :s
Will just be patient for now (and keep remoting to my home pc to post on here! lol)

[Q] Connection sharing?

Hi
I've been using HTC phones for years now, always been on O2 and I've always used my various flavours of XDA to connect my laptop to the internet. I am at this very moment using my Polaris via bluetooth to connect to this forum with my laptop, that is my problem.
It it the one function that the Polaris does that I can't make my HD7 do. Am I missing something here? Surely the HD7 can do this, it is a pretty basic function of a phone so I reckon the problem here is the user.
I am currently having to swap my sim card between devices whenever I need to connect to the net with my PC.
I little help here would be very appreciated.

Actually, at this time I dont believe there is any way to tether the HD7 to a PC and if I remember correctly, I believe at this time the bluetooth on the HD7 only works for a headset and nothing else. I may be wrong so Id do a bit more searching but I believe this is what I have read and heard...
Feeling your pain.... My PSTN telephone line is down (taking my broadband with it) so having to stick my sim back in my water damaged HTC HD2 and with a stroke of luck and with the awesome windows controller 'MyMobiler' I can use that as my modem... Was a bit shocked that this was missing with WP7 going after the business (and social) sectors...
