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.
I'm getting to the connection page but then it goes back to the sign in.
Working great on my phone.
can you attach the ractrl.cab you used?
Never used one, basicaly i went to the website on my phone and logged on and it asked me to register my phone. ( am an existing user btw on Imate K-jam). Software downloaded automaticaly if I remember rightly.

Just tested it and works nice.
Downloaded the RACtrlCE.cab more or less automatically. And then continue...
The only thing that makes me doubting is, that I remember I tested it before on this device. I threw away the RACtrlCE.cab from my documents folder.
Maybe not allowed to throw it away? I will test in the future.
But: Works perfect and the scrolling, by pointing in the corners, goes faster than on my Qtek 9100.
I miss the larger real estate of course.
Huib
I must have used the old RACtrlCE.cab because when I uninstalled it and tried again it worked.
Your in luck mate, I found the file. But I cant find away to upload it here.
yeah, connecting to logmein and installing the cab directly from website works great!
Sorry to revive this old thread but I found it to be inconclusive.
I have the same problem as the OP: I login to their website and see my list of computers...from that point on anything I click, be it a computer or the "my accounts" section, it brings me back to the login screen. It's a complete loop.
I've been using logmein a long time and I know that the .cab file is downloaded right after you choose which computer to connect to...but I can't make it that far on my AT&T Tilt. It's just a loop.
I went back to my PPC-6700 (HTC Apache) and used my WiFi to connect to logmein and had no problems whatsoever.
Any suggestions? Should I find the .cab on my 6700 and send it to my Tilt?
Thanks in advance.
I'm impatient so I went ahead and copied the .cab file from my 6700 to my Tilt...the result is the same.
It installed fine: no errors, no message that it was made for a previous version of windows etc.
However when I go to logmein.com and try to login, I am confronted with the same loop as described above.
When you log into LOGEMEIN it will prompt you to d/l the .cab file if you dont have it installed. I had no problems in logging in from my 8525 or TILT.

Like I said, I can log in fine. Upon choosing which computer to connect to, it brings me back to the login screen. Typically, you would choose the computer you want to connect to and then it would realize you don't have the program installed and prompt you to do so. However, whether I have installed the .cab manually or before doing so, I cannot get this far.
I got my Tilt yesterday and the only tweaking I've done is with the KaiserTweak program from these forums. If anyone can point to a specific tweak that might effect this, I'll revert it...
After more testing I found a way to get access to my computer. Instead of clicking on the computer name, click on Edit. Then scroll down to where it says "Status: Online, Connect to this computer" - You can click on "Connect to this computer" and it will work.
After making it work I went back to my computer listing screen and tried to click on the name, as usual, and it went right back to the login screen. At least this workaround seems to work fine. I'll try uninstalling the software now and letting it install on its own and see how it works from there...
After uninstalling, rebooting, testing, reinstalling, rebooting and testing some more...I have been unable to replicate my "workaround" from above. I'm left clueless as to what the problem is here and whether this is just some dumb server problem on logmein's side. If anyone can help please chime in. tyvm
On a Tilt try
Start>Programs>Tools>Proxy manager>disable proxy
Worked like a champ for me
Those having problems; are you trying to access logmein using the full web site - https://www.logmein.com or logmein for PDA's https://secure.logmein.com/pda/ ? The full web site gets me in a loop, but using the site for PDA's works perfectly.

Yeup forgot to mention that. When I log in I disable the proxy.
If i remember correcly, i had this loop problem when using opera on the kaiser to surf on logmein.com .
Used PIE instead and no more loop problem.
Thank you for the proxy fix - it worked for me.
Can someone tell me what the proxy is for and if there is any reason I would need to enable it again? I'd like to know if I should bring this to logmein support or not. Thanks.

i think its for cingular's internal sites...like ringtones and that kind of madness. i doubt you'll ever need it.
Subject says it all.
AS works (usually) for a while after reset, but then it just hangs saying "Synchronising" but gets nowhere.
Sometimes killing and restarting AS works, but usually I have to reset the damn thing.
Anyone else having this problem/found a solution? Not sure I'll get any sense from Orange (in fact, I am sure I'll get sod-all sense from them!)
Ferg.
P.S. Got HTC Home, iMate WMP Today, Live Search, Voice Command and many other apps installed. Perhaps it doesn't like Home or so.
More likely its a connection thing.
Try disabling advanced functionality in Start, settings, connections, USB-to-PC
That will make it try a USB connection instead of an IP based one.
Sorry, I should have said I was referring to AS on the device itself - it's Direct Push that's mucked up.
I meant on the device... but that was based on AS with pc
However, if you have an exchange server in the mix, then I would guess it either is losing the connection to the server. What happens if you leave it until it errors? (ie what error code)
Can you sync with the server OK when you do connect with USB to an internet enabled pc?
Well, the funny thing is it doesn't give me an error (or I've not waited the hours required for it to time-out).
The TyTN I have works a lot better under the same circumstances (same Exch, same account, sam SIM card etc, so it would deffo point towards the TyTN II itself.
The only thing left to do, I supose, is to ramp up the Exch logging and see what that says, but I wouldn't hold out too much hope of that.
Thanks for your assistance, unwired.
F.
Ok so its definitely the device...
Do you have signal issues on 3g where you are? Is your network allowing simultaneous voice and data? Have you installed the server certificate OK on your device?
Yeah, all the Exchange stuff is configured correctly - that's my job after all.
No 3G issues (since I use the TyTN from the same place.
Although I did notice recently that I can't actually have adata connection and a call at the same time (with 3G coverage). I guess I should be able to...
F.
sorry to bring up an old post,
having same sort of problem, but only when trying to get attachments. seems to take forever, (5-10 mins stuck on syncing then looks like it gives up) but the attachment is then there, which is crazy as its a 30k word doc which should take seconds.
did you work out any kind of solution?
edit: this is on a clients kaiser
I was using the demo which seems to work ok. So I bought it. Now I have an issue where once I close the IM program (but running in background), if I open the IM or try to read an incoming message, I don't get the IM+ window. I do get the bottom bar with all the menus that work, but I can't see my IM or the contact list.
I don't know what is causing this. I tested this program pretty much all the way through all my loading of my software. It was working. Then all of sudden it quit working, I tried to uninstall everything but that didnt fix it. I tried reinstalling the program but that too failed to help.
*bump**bump*
*bump*
*bump*
Hmmm, I bought one also but have not got that kind of issue.
So far so good.
I think you need to contact their support.
i have no problems with im+ either
no problems here
I contacted them 11/13 but still no answer. And just now I just tried to remove it and.. if I turn off "ALways run in background" it fixed it. BUT of course it shuts down the program the minute I close it. I moved the program over to the exceptions list for my tast manager. Now it sorta works. Thank GOD. I thought I waisted $40 on this program.
Not sure what this does:
"Prevent automatic power down"
If this option is marked with flag, your Pocket PC will be prevented from going to standby mode.
I think my Tilt still goes to sleep, like as if I pressed the power button after a few minutes, with or without the check on that box so I'm not sure what it does.

It's only meant for Pocket PC's, not PPC PE's. This is why there's no difference on a PPC phone.
Try 2 open the Today Screen with the Start Button.. or try to check if X BUtton is used just minimize and close on longer push.
both are options which should work.. had the same problem. you'd better bought agile messenger:O

Not to mention the whole pricing scheme they came up with, IM+ is a one time fee. Also, I've noticed more compatibility with Services from IM+ over Agile. Agile doesn't always recognize Aliases set by Messaging services, and I found it to be more bulky and bloated, but thats just my opinion. I wrote an email (using the form on the site) to ShapeServices support and got a response in 2 days... Not the most outstanding response time, but I guess better late then never.
Thanks for the replies. I found agile a day AFTER I bought IM+. It looks good, but didn't seem to be as polished as IM+, although IM+ isn't working all that great for me at the moment, but it is running now). Agile has something about paying $40+ for a lifetime subscription. Or was that for a years worth... I did like how you could send voice messages and pictures really easy in agile.
One thing that bothered me was, do these programs do a "forwarding" to keep track of what you send on their servers? I think Agile does. But I think IM+ uses AIMs server, but I could be wrong.

You mean are they all central server-based solutions? To my knowledge, yes - everything you say goes through their servers.

With the free Fring, you can even chat in voice (not just send voice clips) - it supports VoIP and is great. A Kaiser-compatible version has been released recently; I've published a news item on it today.
I'm using Palringo at the moment, with pidgin on my desktop to manage my list from until the next version comes out that has the brunt of the missing features. For my vote, it's the snappiest UI I've seen so far, a Today plugin is in the works (for now it's a tray icon for notification), has GREAT camera support like Agile, fun PTT radio like audio. Audio and Pictures work will non Palringo clients as well, they just recieve a link that lets them play / view through a web browser.
Their support is also friendly and fairly active on the forum. This IM client also has "groups" which are sort of like chat rooms that you can subscribe to. These have proven fun and useful as well in my experience.
I had agile, but it was to slow, I've had IM+ but was mislead by a phone rep that my phones version supported file transfers (what I liked), so they gave me a refund. I've also had Fring, but it doesn't support Yahoo or AIM, which I use about as much as any other. Once fring gets those I'll be tempted to go back to it though, excellent peice of code.
I have I'M+ on my XV-6700 installed on to the storage card, and as long as I don't suspend power everything works fine. If I do suspend power then when I turn the device back on it can't find the storage card, have to do a soft reset to be able to see the card again!
debating if its worth it, what other software would you recommend?
I need AIM and Google Talk
I found something bad. I guess I was wrong, If I turn this on, my tilt doesnt go insto standy. You tend not to notice this because most people hit the off button on the side of the unit. But I noticed it never shut down when I doing nothing (I have it to turn off after 2mins). But if I turned this off, then it would shut down. But I noticed with the Tilt off, IM+ would disconnect but not show that it was disconnected when you turn it back on.

I can not get AIM+ to work with Dutty's DualTouch v1.1 rom. When ever I open up a buddy, it does not give me the textbox below to enter a message. Anyone else with this issue? Agile does not work with my dataplan but works through the USB connection.

I am just curious why you don't want to use skype. There is the official SE Skype panel available.
Back on topic:
A friend of mine wanted to do it, but lost interest after a while. I will see if he has a solution and get back to you .
hey yeah would be very nice from you. The problem is that my family is in an other country and Iam happy that they know what is a telephone not even they dont have an PC laptop etc. Skype I have as well for the younger generation
Try Nonoh ...
my provider I have allready Search only the settings / worling voip for X1
If the country u want to call is one of these, try tuitalk. Is free. Do extended register and u get 6 minutes of free call/24h.
Success!

When configuring skype, just add some credit to your account.
Then, connect your mobile number to your account.
When sending sms, or making calls with your skype account, people see your real mobile number, instead of nothing..
Most of the landline calls are not much expensive.
With skype i can make good calls, even on 3g!
"not even they dont have an PC laptop etc. Skype I have as well for the younger generation "
using skypeOut you can call any landline phone / cellphone from skype
it's not required that the person have skype or the computer turned on
or even owning a computer
Don't know if the issue already has been solved, but me too was looking for a voip solution, other than skype, simply because some of the voips offer free calling to landlines in about 90 countries for just 10 euro for 90 days and so on, plus making calls to vietnam only cost me 0,027 ct a minute, yes 2,5 ct a minute, while skype or other voip are much more expensive. Skype is great, if all my friends and relatives are on skype too.... unfortunately...
Anyway, how i set up my device for voip (i'm on rom valkyrie firestorm 2.8.5 leo, pretty good, but still a bit buggy, not the ideal rom to test on, but it works.
1 install: destr0_VOIP_WM61___SIP_Config_1.1
2 install: WM6VoIP (don't know why actually, but i simply followed instructons from another website, you can try and leave this option out)
3 install: VOIP Drivers (don't know why actually, but i simply followed instructons from another website, you can try and leave this option out)
4 extract idialplan to windows directory on yourdevice, thus not your pc windows dir.
5 install: Audioroute, this did the trick for me, as i could not hear the other party, i installed this app and everytime i want to make a voip call, i'll use this app to route the sound to the earpiece, and it worked for me
Configuring voip.
After you have installed everything you wanted to install, soft reset your device.
When restarted, you'll see an extra line on your today screen (disable tf3d for the moment) tap on it will bring you to the phone menu, where an extra tab is added for internetcalling, configure as you wish.
Next, in startmenu, open the application sip config tool, and enter the details of your voip service. Don't worry that there is so less info to fill in, i was surprised too, but it only needs username an pw and server and port, that's ll.
By installing audioroute, you'll see an icon next to startbutton, pressing it wil allow you to route the audio the earpiece, or switch back to normal again.
Note: when the line on the today screen says that the service has been selected, all calls will be automatically made trough voip, and if it says unavailable or something else, then it will most propably make regular calls.
Try it, it may not work the first time, try soft reset and try it again.
Hope i could help you out.
Do I understand correctly that this lets you call a landline for free? Since you mentioned that Skype, et al. were more expensive than landline to landline (0.0027 cents a minute).

Ok ... you're lucky i spent one whole day to figure out the best for the windows mobile native sip and here is the easiest way to have it
1. Download and install http://anonym.to/?http://www.minitelecom.org/downloads/images/voip/WM6VoIPFull.cab
this packages is the LATEST package of native windows mobile sip and installs drivers sip configuring utility ... from the configuring utility u can choose also to make calls over 3g.
2. download and install audioroute http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/mirror/audioroute_1.2.020.cab
this is freeware to route the audio through your internal speaker
after this go to settings ->phone->internet and choose always when available.
Good luck
Youre done....

if you register at 12voip.com, and you buy credits worth 10 euro's you can call selected landlines for free for up to 90 days, afer 90 days, top up with another 10 euro;'s and you are good to go for another 90 days.
Please do look if your country or desired destination is on the call for free list.
@ Informatico: Does GPS still work after this??
Thx
I installed it,
I have a question , how to make calls via it?
Like after enabling 3G and enable SIP Plan, how i can make calls now?
Like if i dial a number it will automatically be a SIP call?

If you enable the today plugin, go to settings>today>choose internet calling, on the today screen it'll say either: service not available(wich means is not available and you might not have the settings correct), or available(wich means it's available but not in use yet), or selected, wich means, voip/sip calling is selected and every call or sms will be made through sip. At least, that was in my case, what was a bit annoying because I didn't want every single call i made was trough voip, only the landlines because i can call it for free, so i searched for a softphone and found one wich is an application that let's you make voip calls only within that application, so you could still make regular calls without the hassle of the previous mentioned option. though the latter is not free, but it's name is 'AGEphone Mobile".
I installed it, VoIP works fine but my GPS doesn't work anymore, don't no why.
Any Ideas to fix this problem so that i can use both VoIP and GPS??

well, that's pretty odd then... my gps works just fine, no problems at all. Do you have programs installed to fine tune your device? did this only occur since you've been using voip?
Til yesterday it worked....
But after I had installed the cab it was dead.
I use XperiaTweak I don't know if that coul be the reason for my problem?
i don't use xperia tweak, so i don't know if that;s the probem, though it would be very strange if that gave problems, but have you tweaked som gps settings or agps settings? your gps doesn't work at all anymore,not a iny tiny bit?
i suggest try to save your xperia tweak profile, if it can be done, then revert to default settings and try gps again, otherwise, i don't know. If i were you i hard reset it, but that's just me, since i flash my device often.
