Is it possible to use my Kaiser to connect my laptop to the internet to make browsing easier than looking at the small phone screen. If so what software/hardware do I need.
Thanks

hmm ... did u search or bother reading the manual that came w/ the kaiser?
the answer is yes and ur carrier will charge extra for this ... unless u r smart and don't download 10gb of data using ur phone.

Umm....yes. It's in the owner's manual that came with your device. The program is Internet Sharing.
Hardware needed= 1xKaiser and 1xLaptop/PC
Software needed=Bluetooth on Laptop/PC
Method:
1. Enable visible bluetooth on Kaiser
2. Enable visible bluetooth on Laptop/PC
3. Go to START>PROGRAMS>INTERNET SHARING on the Kaiser and CONNECT
4. On Vista go to Network connections panel and choose Connect to PAN Buetooth network.
Should be done. Just beware of your data usage as you could run up a heck of a bill if you go crazy surfing and downloading.

When your PDA is connected to ActiveSync it gets access to the laptop's internet connection, so yes. Install ActiveSync and connect the phone. No partnership needed, guest is ok.

uh..doesn`t this defeat the purpose of unlimited data plan or are they really that bad? I pay $30 for the unlimited data plan with AT&T for 3G (even HSDPA) in my area. Heck my home DSL costs me about same and sometimes I download like tomorrow isn`t coming. lol.
Has anyone ever had a problem with this before?

WMWifirouter is a great app for tethering. I use it all the time and version 1.20 comes with some great features for usb/BT tethering that kick the **** out of internet sharing that comes with WM

Not to be a complete smartass, but Bluetooth is a physical hardware radio device....not software ( via an internal card or USB adapter). I only mention this in the case the original poster ( who obviously didnt open his manual or do any sort of research ) thinks he can download a piece of software to make his PC have bluetooth.
Again, not flaming or picking a fight ....... just making sure he has no confusion

Hey everyone I am really curious about how I need to go about accesing the internet throung the usb connection while my tilt is plugged in. I have read that previous versions of active sync had a feature called pass through which could be enabled / disabled at your choice. However in the current version of active sync this does not seem to be an option.
I basically just want to be able to browse the net on my tilt while I am connected to the pc via my usb cable.
Why because the at home internet connect is way better then the 3g network. This way I can download large files directly to my phone.
I have tried the registry edit as well as other methods. Still can't get the damn thing to work..
I am running the stock tilt rom directly from att. No mods no nothing. Also the version of active sync that I have came directly off the att tilt cd.
Please Help I appreciate your efforts in advance!
I have this workaround ( same situation with my X51V ) that you can try.
import the reg file or add the following key:
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"AllowLSP"=dword:00000000
Most works out of the box ( internet while activesync ... not sure why yours don't ... could be something that you did ??
anyway ... try the reg import and report back
I didn't do anything on mine and it is able to connect to internet through the USB whenever I connect it. WiFi is disable when the USB is connected.

when setting up activesync ... the last window allow you to enable WIFI while connected to USB too ( if prefered )
or go into ( File -->> Connection Settings ) and check "allow wireless connection on device while connected to desktop"
yeah tried the reg hack before. didn't change anything for me.
I also messed with the advanced network functionality box under start settings> connections> USB to PC.
No worky for me.
Is there anything else you guys have done on the phone? Should there be any other entries under network management? RIght now I have listed
Media Net
AT&T ISP
My Work Network

If you haven't MOD anything like you've said ... I would suggest a hard reset ... and don't touch that USB to PC setting !!!
things should allow you to surf while activesync right out of the box !

for real OH Jebus Hard reset. Just great. Well atleast i don't have too much on my phone.
Any other suggestions?
In your PC ACtiveSYnc' connection settings, you will have a drop-down under name "This computer is connected to". Take out Automatic there and choose Internet.
Sometimes ActiveSync will not recognize that your PC has internet. Tell me if this was it in your case.

Carty..

yeah my man did that as well... maybe I will try the hard reset and see what happens
ive been curious about this also. mine just seems to default to my 3g connection...do i have to disable this for it to use the active sync connection?
Nope. When Synced, ActiveSync' net is on first priority!
Regards,
Carty..
I wonder if you have the networks proxy set in your default internet connection and when you connect via as it cant see the proxy nd thus wont allow connection...
interesting i tried out the newest rom on kaiser upgrade section...the att rom. i was gettin the same behavior. i loved the rom but was only bugged by that. i went to a new rom and fixed that problem. something with how att handles activesync cant do the job.
And ATT use a proxy...

i tried the diasable proxy cab flying around...it was no good. I'm using a different rom right now. It only happened to me on that specific rom.
I would have thought you just need to check the connection settings and make sure no proxy is enabled.
regarding the Tilt and the proxy ... you could try out these 2 cabs at this thread ( 1 for disable ... the other is for enable )
look towards the end of the post ..."Sleuth255" had provided the cabs for you Tilt owners to fix the hidden proxy that is involved with AT&T Tilt
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1656670&postcount=1
if it works ... holler so that other Tilt owners can benefit !

Nice I downloaded the cabs. But before I launched them I took a look at my tilt for another second.
Keep in mind that I just did a hard reset and this is a stock att ship ROM.
Under start> Programs>Tools> There is a icon called proxy manager.
I clicked on diable proxy and did a soft reset. The problem is now fixed. I can browse the net while connected via usb through pass Thru.
Maybe the cabs do not need to be downloaded afterall as att already has them installed but thank you for the lifesaver!
Thanks people!
Hi,
I also used proxy manager to disable the proxy. Now whenever i connect my phone with activesync, it keeps connecting to the phone's GPRS (mediaNet). i look under the connections icon and it shows medianet connected, but not activesync.
anyone know how i can fix this to return to normal? i tried enabling the proxy again, but no luck.
HI,
I think I need the opposite
At work there is a very restrictive proxy that allows pie connections but, for example, does not allow to update the weather in HTC HOME.
There is a WIFI nearby that allows it...
Now, what I would like is to have my device ActiveSync'ed (so contacts, and so on are OK) while using WIFI for ineternet access...
Anyone knows if it is possible and how?
Thanks
Hey all , ive been trying to tether my laptop with my tilt...now i go into wireless modem and choose the usb type connection. is there additional software or a program i need to install to make it work (and i dont have the tether option on at&t will that make a different ?)
thanx in advance for those with serious replies.
Don't use wireless modem!!! Won't work right. What you want to do is find the program shortcut in ythe \Windows folder called Internet Sharing.lnk.
Copy it & paste it to your program directory located \Windows\Start Menu\Programs, paste the shortcut there.
Launch the Int Share proggie, hook up to pc via usb, select usb as connection type & MediaNet as the connect to. Press connect & activesync will drop out & you will be connected.
It works great...I'm wondering if AT&T can tell that I'm tethering or not when I do this. I really don't want to pay for tethering.

No they can't. I mean they can see how much traffic is going through but after all, you're paying $30 for internet on a tiny device! Thats the price of home DSL internet!
I've been tethering for ages
i've been tethering for a while (and also use data like crazy on my devices) i just make sure to disable to the proxy first...
also once i was in the ATT store making some adjustments on my plan and the guy noticed the high traffic use and was gonna force me to upgrade to PDA connect for $50/month. I just told him that i bought the device with that plan and why would u charge me more if they advertised it with the medianet package...
he let me keep the medianet package and warned me saying that if i get caught then they'll charge me per kilobyte... that day hasn't come yet..
why would i disable the proxy ? thanx for the replies they were very helpfull !

This really deserves a knuckle rap because it's posted about a thousand times. There are two cabs. Disablehiddenproxy.cab & Restorehiddenproxy.cab.
If you have a stock tilt you need to run disable every time you reset because the proxy is default. If you have a modded rom, just the opposite is true & you need to enable it to use AT&T proggies/sites.
READ & SEARCH!!!
Forgive me bra! Your right I should have looked harder .

Yes, I've been tethering ONLY when I go on long road trips, like from DC to NYC and/or DC to NH/VT. I have not been charged extra by AT&T (I'm on the Unlimited PDA Data plan... $40 per month) for tethering, but my understanding is (according to another post I found in XDA-Developers) that if WE UPGRADE TO WM 6.1, AT&T WILL BE ABLE to know when we are doing tethering and when we're not. If tethering... they'll charge us extra. :-( I really think it's unfair! So, these bastards are pretty much asking us to pay $40 for the unlimited PDA plan, which they misinterpret and misadvertise as our having "the internet in our hands"... which is true, but that means we can only get a certain amount of packets per second! By tethering, we're getting more packets per second and that's when they simply do not like it! BASTARDS! Well, those are my 2 cents. Please let me know if it's true about the WM6.1 upgrade and/or if anyone finds out based on real-life experience! (whether or not they got charge for tethering after upgrading to WM6.1)
what exactly will disabling the proxy do?

Even though I never had the need, I just connected my iMac to the internet using my Tilt as a bluetooth modem. Just to see, and it was pretty easy
Just establish a bluetooth pairing with your Macbook and your phone,
Start Internet Sharing in your programs menu.
Set PC connection to Bluetooth pan
Set network connection to Media net
Go to menu and tap bluetooth settings
Tap on your laptop in the devices list
Make sure you have Activesync and serial port checked.
press save
Go back to Internet Sharing window and press connect.
If you have any other questions let me know.
Oh, by the way AT$T is really cracking down on data usage, if you are going to be using this alot. You need to get a tethering plan or they will charge you.
i think the title is pretty explanatory enough
just need to know if i need media.net or any such internet connection to use a gps software, say igo8...
also, everything works fine on my tilt, except for the usb connection, it charges and all that good stuff, but the problem lies in connecting to the pc, it won't connect to the pc at all....how much do you think i could get for this on ebay?
If you are running tomtom, igo, iguidance, etc you do not need a data connection as it strictly utilizes the maps prestored on your device. However, software like google maps or live search does require a data connection if you are on the road. Although, you do need to set quickgps data every once in a while, which requires some type of data connection whether it is via Wifi or edge.
If you can charge your device through your sync cable then you should be able to connect to activesync. Reinstall your software if you are having issues.
If you do not have the cable they are widely available on eBay for fairly cheap.
All The Best

Sounds like you are not running the sync program.
guys...i have no idea what's going on with my phone
this is what i did:
i reinstalled vista from new on my laptop...downloaded windows mobile device center and tried connecting my phone to the laptop...activesync is running on my phone, but the laptop doesn't even pick up the device at all, not even as an unrecognized device...the weird thing is that it still charges the phone with the connection...
i WAS messing around with the pins a while back, which is most certainly the culprit for this odd behavior...but you guys say it should connect if it's charging, why?
actually, it its charging......doesnt necessarily mean it will sync. the pins for data and power are seperate. you try and check/uncheck the box in usb to pc, if it still doenst work, maybe a hard reset. if it still doesnt work, check the pins
Nope you just need the internet to search this already answered question.
When we go cross country, we use googlemaps and always plan our trips from Starbucks to starbucks, so we can use free wifi to check our progress and where abouts

well gmail already automatically syncs whether it's attached with a usb port or not to a computer. HTC Sync is available although I haven't tried it myself. You can find it on Rogers ROMS, most hero ROM cookers have removed it on their hero ROM.

You're welcome I think there's a reverse tethering application or modification that you can use to tether your computer's connection to your phone but I'm not sure about it.
Im interested also that would be helpful to be able to connect it to my pc and use its internet since all i have is edge and not 3g in my area!
Just get a cheap wireless router, they are on ebay for under $10.
Connect WiFi cleanly and not deal with tethering and software.
