Hi,
Just got MDA with t-mobile web, 5.99/month, two week ago and still playing around. Does anyone know how to connect the laptop to internet by using this mda and without paying $30 for total internet?
You can use the T-Zones connection for your laptop also.
Here's what you should do:
Install the modem link software on your laptop (should be on the included disk that came with the MDA)
Activate the modem link on the MDA
Then connect to a USB port
Create a new dialup connection selecting the HTC modem
Name it whatever you want
Dial Number *99#
Leave the username and password blank
You will also have to use the proxy settings in internet exploxer, use the same settings you used for the MDA to get the full internet
One more thing always make sure you connect your MDA before opening your browser or it will detect the laptops default modem instead of the HTC
Modem Link Software
Can someone post the Modem Link Software? I have lost my disk and really want to use the mda for my lappie.

Where do i place the "USBMDM.INF" on win xp?
You should be able to place it anywhere (desktop, my documents) then:
activate the modem link on the PPC and connect to an USB port. XP should then tell you it has found a new device and will look for the driver. If it doesn't find it you should be given the option to locate it yourself.
If this doen't work I'll uninstall mine and walk through the steps again to see if I have forgotten something.
Good Luck!
When you activate Modem Link on the PPC make sure the connection is USB not IrCOMM. The access point should already have wap.voicestream.com entered.

I created a new dial up connection thru HTC USB. i leave the username and password blank and dial to *99# but it still doesn't work. I got an error 692 (There were a hardware failure in the modem for other connection device).
You mention about setting up proxy on internet explorer. How could I do that? thanks
I'm not sure about the error, never have gotten that. As for the proxy settings, once your connection is set up in explorer go to Tools-Internet Options-Connection tab and then select settings for your connection. Check the box that says Use proxy settings and enter the same settings you used when setting up your PPC to access the internet with the T-Zones account.
I'm getting ready to leave for work and will try to check the error message when I get back home.
I am getting "Remote Access Error 734". I just set my proxy settings Firefox and now it gives me "Remote Access Error 678".
Here's a link to a site that tells what the dial up networking codes mean. http://www.modemsite.com/56k/dunserror.asp
Also here's another site that gives instructions for setting up a connection. http://www.mypdacafe.com/articles.php?id=216
I'll keep looking for a solution.

One thing I woul like to add is that when I connect my MDA to the laptop, the gprs icon(MDA) has an X through it. I have also never been able to connect to my outlook email (mail2web) while plugged in with USB. It always gives me a connection error. As soon as I unplug it, it d/l's all the messages. I also looked at the above link and there were people getting the same 734 error.

The X on mine always means there is no signal availible, I don't use mail2web. I'll write down my setup from start to finish and try to get it posted as soon as posible.
Please, please help. I have just managed to connect my xdaIIi to my wireless network, but am unable to connect to the internet. Whenever i try to connect it uses GPRS(O2 active) and I am left with a blank screen.
Any help greatly appreciated, it is driving me mad!!!!
just delete gprs setting for the first time and it would be ok. later you can get gprs setting back
Thanks for responding, but when I try to cancel the gprs it returns every few seconds.
Some applications fire up the internet connection if it is down, like Internet Explorer.
Are you sure that all your applications are properly shut-down and not running hidden in the background? ( Settings / System / Memory / Running Programs)
Checkout at Setting / Connections / GRPS Setting... manage existing connections and under proxy settings untick at the top....
I tried stopping all programs still no success, looked in gprs setting and did not have any mention of proxy settings, just class 8 or class 10.
I now get the message which says I must provide proxy server information
HTTP
WAP
Secure WAP
Socks
I have no idea what to do and think I'll just use the laptop for surfing and forget about the internet on the XDA.
Thanks for all of your help so far
dont look under grps setting that got class 8 or class 10. Looks under Connections, the got your GRPS Setting..... manage existing connections.... you'll find the proxy setting.....
hello

hi,
I live in Uruguay, South America, I bought an htc diamond in usa and it is working fine.
The problem is that the " connection setup " is lacking Uruguay and network settings from Uruguay in its database, so every time I turn on the phone I get the connection setup screen.
There is also lacking the data from Argentina, Brazil, Chile,etc. Only Bolivia is included.
My question: is there any way to update the " connection setup " database so the diamond could recognize the carriers from these countries?
Thank you
see here:
http://www.taniwha.org.uk/gprs.html
go to settings -> all settings -> connection -> connection
and setup manually using those settings.
If those are not correct, just google for 'GPRS setting Uruaguay' + your operator
Hello,
Click Setting, Connection Setup, then Menu on the right bottom, and so uncheck Enable Auto Configuration.
It will not bother you anymore...
Phil
thank you phil,
that's what i've done and it's ok.
thank you 1234,
can you tell me (step by step) how to configure my carrier settings? the service provider here in uruguay is called " ancel ".
with your help i should be able to do it.
thanks again,
best regards,
arturo
Use touch flow and go to settings, then left softkey for all settings.
Then the connections tab (at the bottom), then connections icon.
There go to setup new modem connection (if i remember corectly)
for APN put: gprs.ancel
for username put: guest
for password put: guest
hit ok/save and exit all the way out. It may take about 30 seconds to lock on, or just soft reset to be sure.
thanks again 1234,
i will try your instructions.
one more question: once i set the carrier settings, is it possible to set other carriers in case i travel to argentina or brazil?
best regards,
arturo

Wow! is this info still being updated...good old Ross
Hi,
I have a HTC Touch Diamond and this message has appeared several times today..
Connection Setup
DataBase Update Check.
It may cost data connection fee to check if new database update. Do you wish to proceed?
Can anyone provide any assistance on what this is? How can I get rid off this message? It interruptes the data connection.
Many thanks in advance!

Hi, don't know if you already have solved this issue (since it's been 2 weeks already for you) but check this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3167791&postcount=38
I installed BB Connect .106 onto my HTC FUZE and actually got it working, new PIN, IP address, everything seemed fine.
BUT. . .
I found that I could not connect to the internet or get emails, even though the connection settings clearly showed me as being connected to Media Net.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so, is there a workable solution? FWIW, I do acually have a Blackberry plan (BIS) in use with my Bold, but I would like to have the option to switch between the devices as I wish.a
What, no one??? No one at all???
I am using about the same config as you, but all is working fine here. Keep in mind:
1. You have to set up a correct connection (APN) for all internet traffic but BBC (which uses its own non-configurable APN)
2. When you click on an internet link in a Blackberry message, your browser tries to use the BBC set APN to get the page.
3. When you browse to an URL in IE or Opera your browser tries to use the (self set) internet conection APN.
Maybe this helps you solve your problem.
Thanks for the reply. When I have more time to experiment I'll check it out.
Hi,
I have ADSL modem, and I am trying to connect to the modem (via WiFi) and use internet on my HTC VIVA.
My internet connection requires authentication in order to connect. I can successfully connect to modem using Wifi connection. In order to connection to Internet, I added new VPN server from settings > Connections > Edit my VPN servers. I added all the credentials as provided by my ISP, however I am not able to connect to internet and access web pages from the Internet explorer of my device.
Please help me and let me know where I am going wrong?
Thanks,
You don't have to set your authentication data in your Viva.
All you need to do is connect to your ADSL modem using WiFi and start browsing the web. It should work correctly unless your ISP requires a proxy server.
Tell us what happens.
Hi GFX,
Thanks for replying. I connected to ADSL using WiFi, but when I open Internet explorer I get page not found.
When I was in US, I was able to access Internet as per your reply. But now I am in India and I am not able to access Internet.
Some of the differences that might help you or any other who would like to contribute
USA India
====== =======
ISP Comcast BSNL
Authentication WPA2-PSK Open
Data Encryption AES WEP
Thanks,
I'm not sure what's causing this.
Probably your ISP requires a proxy server. Can you connect to the internet using your PC??
The other thing is, your ISP has nothing to do with your ADSL modem authentication and data encryption modes! You can set these settings manually according to your personal needs. Read your ADSL modem user manual for more information.
A WPA2 authentication is recommended so you can protect your modem & internet connection from outsiders and hackers.
Check your ISP's website to see if they require a proxy server. And tell us about your ADSL modem brand and model so we can help you.
My ISP does not require proxy server, and I can connect to Internet using my PC. I am able to connect to my ADSL modem but somehow I am not able to connect to Internet.
Following are the details of my ADSL modem
Brand: Huawei
Model: WA1003A
Its an ADSL router.
Thanks,
OK, please check the following settings in your device:
1- Goto Start-> Settings -> Connections -> Connections-> Advanced tab-> tap on "Select Networks", and check that the first dropdown menu says "My ISP".
2- Goto Start-> Settings -> Connections -> Wi-Fi -> Network Adapters tab, and check that the first dropdown menu says "The Internet".
If you made any changes to the above settings, try to reconnect to the modem once again, it may work this time.
However, if you left the above settings unchanged then your problem lies somewhere else. Check if you can access the internet using Opera Mini, or try connecting to another router. Because we need to determine the source of the problem.
Good luck.
have you simply tried connecting via wifi with default settings?
when you switch on wifi, once the network is detected, you can feed in the values then right? sorry if this seems like a stupid answer but we often miss whats right under our noses,
Sorry for replying so late, was busy with lots of work for some time.
GFX: My connection settings are same as you mentioned. But even with these settings in place, no success.
karthiksk: I get connected to WiFi network, but after this I don't get any popup box in my device to enter the details.
Guys, however I got the solution, since my network uses PPoE, I had to configure these settings in my Modem. Earlier I was entering ISP credentials in an external PPPoE client on my PC, this way I can access Internet with only one PC at a time and WiFi was also not working.
I entered ISP credentials in my modem and configured PPoE settings. Now I can connect my PC (using Ethernet cable), my laptop using WiFi and my HTC device using WiFi at the same time.
Thank you all for helping me in trying to resolve this issue.
Good to see your problem solved.
Turns out it has nothing to do with your device!
Enjoy your Viva, it's a wonderful device.

This is a Windows Mobile and HTC VIVA forum, it is highly unlikely that you will get your solution here. and it is unsafe to post you mobile number.
I'm facing the same problem..it's not the ISP or modem..it's only & only viva...
It sucks badly...I purchased two different modem router..one of netgaer and other one of linksys...and the didn't work on both of them...wifi only works with the modem ZTE ZXDSL 531B
**** off viva...
