With many other HTC phones, i know that they have a program called 'Network Sharing' which very easily enables you to use the phone to connect to the internet via bluetooth or usb on a computer. The latest one i've seen would be the Cavalier, which when connected via usb would show as a network connection in Vista, per this program.
I am wondering if the Kaiser has this, I would assume that it does (when bought directly from HTC, as i know AT&T would disable something as user friendly as this).
Anyone who has this phone currently, would you be able to help me with this?
Thanks,

P.S. I am picking this phone up tomorrow, so hopefully the answer to this question won't cause any regrets beforehand...
yes
enjoy!

Well this was something I already assumed would be included and happy to hear I was right in my assumption. In regard to AT&T removing such a user friendly option, they did in the original shipped wm5 rom but the update wm5 did include "Internet sharing" just a comment for those that would be worried at&t wouldn't include this.

I tried to search this but the only thing I could find was a thread that walked you through the setup but when I tried it, nothing happened.
Here is what I got:
T-Mobile, T-zones workaround for Edge.
Can I tether my MDA to my laptop via USB cable to use Edge. If so, someone please walk me through it.
Thanks,

I've been trying this too but wasn't very successful. I've tried setting up everything myself from my knowledge, but I guess that wasn't enough.
So I found a program called PDAnet. It is supposed to be an excellent program to do exactly what you're asking- connect GPRS phone to laptop to access internet. Well, I've tried this program but was not successful. For some reason I couldn't get it to work. But do give it a try yourself, it is supposed to be great.
If it works for you, maybe you can share your settings? thanks
I do this all the time, I hate the $9.95 1 day access fee when your in an airport maybe 2 hours if that.
First, ditch the USB cable and link via bluetooth. I only got my USB setup to work once and that after massive messing around. I'm assuming you have bluetooth on your lap top, I've a Dell so your set up may be somewhat different than mine.
First you want to make sure your BT radio is on, all I have to do is right click on the system tray icon and enable radio. Next bring up the BT settings manager and hit make a new connection. On the Com screen in the wizard make sure it's set to discoverable, there is a link under the settings menu bottom of the screen. If this is the first time you've paired the laptop to the Wizard then you'll need to enter the access code, in my case it is 0000 for both. On my laptop I need to go into the manual connection process otherwise it assumes I want to do a file transfer and not a modem connection. Set the connection to dial up modem, if it asks you for a number to dial it is *99# (Tmobile gprs). Thats pretty much it. The only hitch I've found is that I occasionally need to set the wizard to discoverable.
When I want to connect to the internet at admittedly slow GPRS speeds I bring up the BT manager and hit connect, it finds the Wizard, dials it into the GPRS and that's it, I'm tethered and have internet access. It's slow, kind of like a dsl line but for checking emails it's just fine. I used to have a Sierra Aircard which I could pop my SIM into and that worked great and was stable but the new laptop has an express card slot so the Aircard doesnt fit. If you have the older style port and Cingular or Tmobile you can pick these up cheap on ebay.

New! Version 1.72 adds support for GSM/GPRS devices such as T-Mobile MDA or Cingular 8125! It also supports Vista and Bluetooth/InfraRed connection through ActiveSync.
^thats from their website. Have you tried it lately?
I'm about to install it myself and try. Will post how it goes.
Hi,
Please can someone talk me through trying to get BB Connect 4 working with the new HTC S730 (Wings)?
I'm trying to move across from a BlackBerry Pearl, so I know my subscription with my operator (Telenor Sweden) is working just fine.
I've tried using BBC 4.0.0.76 and 4.0.0.84 for WM6 Standard.
I enter BBC app on the phone and click Menu > Register Now. Back on the home page the BB status changes from Not Connected > Network Available > Data Tunnel Available > Not Connected. I have no PIN (Pending) and no IP.
I also tried BBC 2.1.2.39 but this just stays at Not Connected. Any idea why this is not working, since BBC 2 is not supposed to be so fussy about checking if the device is supported?
When I try to connect with the BBC Desktop software, it says PIN is "Unknown Type"
So....
I'm guessing the S730 isn't certified by RIM yet and I need to trick BBC 4 into thinking it's running on a supported device.
Please can someone help with the correct steps? Here are some of my questions:
1. I have the S730 Nordic version so I guess the first thing I need to do is dump the ROM from my own device. Am I better off using the grab_it ROM dumper from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=238945 or using this method http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...x_HowToDumpRom ? I'm struggling so far with the pdocread method as I my device seems to be application locked. I'll post more about this in the S730 ROM thread.
2. Assuming I get the ROM dump, I need to use a Hex Editor to change the GetDeviceInfo from HTC-Wings ( I guess) to a supported device. Can anyone tell me the best device to change this to e.g. HTC-Vox? I've read reports of BBC 4.0 working on the S710 Vox but also people have asked for help hacking it. Which device string should I use?
3. I'm a complete noob when it comes to repacking ROMs and flashing WM devices. Can anyone point me to step-by-step guide to this?
I've tried to read around this subject but I've quickly exceeded my technical comfort zone to put it mildly, so any help with this would be really appreciated!
You carrier needs to support the Blackberry Gateway forwarding. If it does not, from your device, then Blackberry Connect will not work. They literally need to sort of "open ports" on their system.
I tried a Blackberry Connect activation on a Samsung BlackJack II, on AT&T here in the states, with no luck. Same symptoms as you describe.
Read all of the comments here to see what other people have done.
Oh well... get your peoples to enable ActiveSync on your server. Or at least to forward your Email to an outside address.
Good luck,
Matt
I'm not ready to give up on the S730 and BB Connect just yet.
My operator supports BB Connect on Sony Ericsson and Nokia smartphones but say there is no reason why HTC models shouldn't work. I have a colleague with a HTC Tytn II, also with Telenor connecting perfectly with my company BES, so there is some hope.
The hack described in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294218 basically tricks BBC into thinking it's running on a device which is supported by RIM and your operator. That's what I'm trying to do. That's where I was going with my questions.
But I don't know a) how to dump my ROM b) what devicetype value to set and c) how to repack the ROM and reflash the device.
Has anyone else tried the same thing and can help a noob like me?

Not an option for me, unfortunately. My company only support BES and so either I get BBC working or the S730 goes up on ebay. I'm back to using my Pearl until I get this working.
Is there anyone else out there trying to get BlackBerry Connect working on the S730?
also trying for BB connect
I just tried to install three different version yesterday with no success.
4.0.0.76 (wm5 version)
4.0.0.84 (wm6)
4.0.0.91 (wm6)
http://www.sems.org/entry.asp?ENTRY_ID=276
They all installed properly but did not generate a PIN number, it was stuck at "PIN pending".
It went thru the same sequence "Network Available" --> "Data Tunnel Available" --> "Not Connected"
have not tried version 2.1 yet will do that shortly
Tried 2.1
update:
Tried 2.1 on the s730, it does not function.
If anyone has anymore ideas please post, and i will try it .
I know this is a separate platform, but perhaps bbconnect for the HTC tilt might work. AT&T have it available here http://www.america.htc.com/mobile/connect/8925/
Has anyone tried emoze as a push solution?
Has anyone found a working BB Client for BB Internet Service for The S730?
I see over the years ... nobody read carefull Threads!
Black Berry is a complicate and secure Application!
How they generate a Pin?
The Device Name, Device OS Version and Build Nr. are for the generation importent. It means ... if your modded os have a wrong OS Version and Build Nr. you doesnt get a Pin and you see every time "Pin pending"
How i can fix this?
Try to use a Original HTC Rom. If you get Pin Pending again ... try to reg edit your Build Nr. If its work, you have the right version Nr.s you need and Build Nr.! Then you can ask you favorit Rom Builder for changing does numbers.
Use Black Berry Connect Clients over 4.0.0.90
If you know the right ids ... publish it!
But where can I get the right rom for my HTC S730 and where can I get a BB client over 4.0.0.90
Original Rom ... www.htc.com -> eMember
Black Berry Client ... netrunnerat.4shared.com -> tools

That's a cool site. Thanks.
Also, did you test this on the S730 with your theory?
It dosn't work. No PIN.
New Ideas ?
your carrier needs to allow your phone to access the Blackberry servers. It's a provisioning thing. Call them and try to get it added... try to convince them just to add it and see what happens, even if you don't have a Blackberry. They might have a special thing... like AT&T's Tilt has the ability to use blackberry connect, so AT&T probably has some special feature for provisioning that enables a non-blackberry phone to be provisioned for blackberry service.
Without this connection allowed by your carrier connecting you to RIM's servers... Blackberry Connect will not work.
Prove me wrong. (seriously, because I want to get this working for myself )
I have the blackberry connect service activated for my s730 but can not get a pin number. I will try different versions, if anyone has anymore ideas please post
Thanks
Has anyone managed to browse the net using their Wizard with the Macbook Leopard via their Bluetooth? I know its possible but I am just not managing. Any help/pointers? Thanks in advance.
Figured it out.
No worries I figured it all out...
How?? Can you share?
Followed this guide..
Well I followed this guide I found after a little googling:
http://justinblanton.com/2006/01/mac-os-x-windows-mobile-bluetooth-modem
One has to download certain drivers available here (as the wonderful article above will explain):
http://www.taniwha.org.uk/
The issue I was having was trying to dial *9***1# (which my service provider had given)
Whereas I changed it to *99# (as the article suggested)
and entered username as [email protected]
and password: yourserviceprovider.
And it worked!
All the best to you, let me know if you succeeded.
doesn't that end up making you pay to connect? I want to do the same thing but dial my local ISP (407.896.XXXX, a local dial up number)
another question I have been trying to solve is how to use a 4gig micro SD chip on a Cingular 8125(Wizard)

Well the configuration that I have mentioned is for GPRS for which you are anyway paying according to your mobile service provider's plan. Connecting via bluetooth you only access your mobile GPRS on the Mac, you pay whatever your mobile service charges you for accessing GPRS via mobile phone. As regards the dial up, I guess you would have to buy the Mac USB modem, then you can dial-in to your ISP.

This answer I do not know since I use a 2gig card which at the moment is more than sufficient.
I've got an easier method that doesn't involve needing to mess with the Mac's bluetooth settings very much...IF you have Internet Sharing on your phone
(which seems to be included in most of the roms I see kicking around this place...)
You also don't need to install any scripts or do much other mucking about...
1. Pair your devices through the usual methods
2. launch internet sharing, select "bluetooh PAN" for PC Connection and hit connect
3. go to the mac's bluetooth settings and select your phone, then hit the 'gear' at the bottom of that menu; click 'connect to network.'
Viola! Internet access without much work!
I feel like I may have oversimplified or missed a step, let me know if you have problems!
BTW--this was done using a VERY recent macbook and dferria's WM5 Touch Rom v 5.0 w/AT&T USA. Your results may vary!
Thanks for adding that information, I guess the method I found is for ROMs which don't have the PAN sharing option. Like mine. At least I couldn't find it.
Hello everybody,
I have to ask a pretty dumb question I've searched this forum looking for the possible solution, but since I ended up empty-handed, I've decided to write a quick post and ask for help.
Simply, this is the problem: I need to use my Kaiser as an USB dial-up modem to connect to the Internet, as I've decided to try out T-Mobile 'Mobile Internet' service. You have to use the special Data SIM card, connect USB modem, pass additional parameters from your computer (at+cgdcont=1,"IP","internet-prepaid"), and dial *99***1#. I know that 'Internet sharing' option on Kaiser functions the other way -- you connect to the 3G network on the device, and then connect it with your computer..
After trying about a billion different drivers, configuration settngs and hacks, I've given up, and decided to cry out for help -- or any suggestion at all
Thanks in advance!
Any luck?

Whats the OS on your computer? I generally start internet sharing, press the connect button and then hook it up to my laptop, no issues? Can you tell us what exactly happens when you try and connect?
hi guys i just added the unlimited web browsing option with o2 on my diamond as we moved into a new flat and we dont have braodband yet.
o2 said i cant use my phone as a modem though, they dont allow you to connect to the net via your computer. i think she meant if i put the sim card into a usb modem.
But im wondering can anyone confirm whether or not i will be charged extra for syncing my diamond to my laptop and using the phone as my modem??
thanks
anyone?.....................
I don't see how they would know?
Other than the excessive downloading...
hey,
i do this all the time and they never know. do you have unlimited web on phone?
You can indeed connect your phone to your pc and use it as a modem to access the internet. When you connect your phone to your pc you should have the option to choose "internet sharing" mode which allows this. However although i have an XDA Ignito I am running a cooked rom and i'm not sure if "internet sharing" is available as an option on the standard o2 rom. Either way if you do have that option it wont cost you anything as long as you keep within the fair usage policy.
thanks guys, i basically used it yesterday and checked my charges today and no extra charges so all seems ok. i have the unlimited web, run a cooked rom with the internet sharing option on a diamond so works fine and is actually quite fast!
i think you are right if you use it a lot to download films etc they will find out, shame but never mind hopefully sky will hurry up and install our BB soon
Thanks again for the help!
