I've tried to FTP into a known working FTP server via a 3G connection supplied by t-mobile UK - FAIL
Tech support at t-mobile say the Vario III isn't capable of FTP which I find difficult to believe.
Anyone else used FTP via laptop using their kaiser as a modem ?
Not one reply ?
No one does FTP with their Vario II III or IV ?
C'mon guys and gals help a guy bust a telco
Is port 21 accessible to you on your device & network ?
If so, t-mobile UK is shining me on by telling me it's the fault of the device rather then them blocking port 21 to prevent skype / portmapping etc.
I'm also on T-Mo UK with the MDA Vario III (Kaiser)...
It's probably an issue with the contract you're on. I originally had plain Web 'n' Walk, and I was told at point of sale that this will enable HSDPA at *full speed*, enable me to use my phone almost as a broadband modem and enable me to use all internet protocols. I tried for ages to get MSN working on my laptop when sharing the Kaiser's internet with no luck at all (long before I discovered this place)... After running a few speed tests using a HSDPA connection on my phone, I discovered I wasn't getting the speed I probably should. Called T-Mo tech support and they advised that no, I actually need web 'n' walk plus to get full speed HSDPA (3.8mbit, IIRC) and access to all data protocols. Now MSN works perfectly!
I've not tested FTP access, but it's worth calling T-Mo or checking which Web 'n' Walk plan you're on (if any at all) - this is the most likely problem.
And you're probably right, it's probably to stop you screwing them out of money by using VoIP rather than the cellular network .

I had just bought one and configure it to work with Vodafone RealMail service. This works fine, but Explorer or other programs are not able to get info from the same connection. Vodafone folks in Spain say the device is not approved to work with RealMail, so if I want internet I need to open a separte GPRS connection and that means extra connection cost. I thought having WM 6 should be enough to ensure compatibility but apparently not. Is there a tweak I can do to have it look like an acceptable device for Vodafone REal Mail connection?
Thanks

If I am correct, tmobile US will release their version of the Kaiser in the future. Does anyone know if HTC will offer a fully functional (for lack of better terms) unlocked kaiser. By fully functional, I mean with all the hardware features like dual cameras along with the ability to handle the 1700 band for tmobiles 3g network.
i have an unlocked kaiser on tmobile and it works perfect. The hope is that t-mobile will purchase another frequency that works with the kaiser!!!
that's all fine and good but with the currently available kaiser (and also the TILT once released and unlocked) you will not be able to take full advantage of tmobiles 3G network once launched. I'd like to keep tmobile as my US provider while still having the front cam for video calls.
I would also like to change from ATT to T-mobile with my current unlocked Kaiser. I am hoping that the current kaiser is just a, "Rom change" away from picking up the 1700 Mghtz 3G frequency when T-Mobile brings it out.
Anybody here have any idea, if the Kaiser is hardware capable of picking up 1700? You would assume, that it would be easier and cheaper to put the hardware in there and just disable it with software.

I wouldn't worry to much. By the time tmob gets 3g maybe late 08 in some areas maybe 09 there will be another latest greatest phone

Good point...
I figure in on the 'newer phone' liklihood as well. I had a Wizard and thought the remaining feature differences (GPS, Tilt display, faster processer, double RAM, double storage, SDHC support, etc) were more than enough to justify an upgrade. I am using in on T-Mobile with the great data plan. I have access to WiFi when I need speed (Sling, Orb, etc), so EDGE is good enough for uses at other times (casual web browsing and push email).
I'm sure they will release their version of the Kaiser before 2008 if they want to reap the rewards...and, I don't think they will release it without the 3g network running as their version is supposed to support the 1700 band. Of course, their version will be lacking other features of the hardware like the front facing camera. In turn, my original question about wanted a fully featured unlocked Kaiser remains.
Additionally, to the person hoping thecurrent kaiser may have 1700 support through a rom update, from what I hear the answer is no. I am told it is a hardware issue and the hardware on the current kaiser model is not equipped to handle it.

You might check this thread out. Dont know if it will work here.
I don't believe HTC will make a Kaiser for tmo here but this variation could come here. If you look at the phones released to ttmo and att most of the light and young peoples phones are released to tmo and the more work oriented are released to att (excluding the Iphone which should have went to tmo but was att shot to bring in some young blood. just my ho for what its worth

Thanks dwella,
However, i feel pretty confident that T-mobile US will release the Kaiser for many reasons. Mainly because they have already cleared their version of the device through the FCC and there is a Tmobile manual for the device that is clearly for the US market (as it mentions specifics exclusive to the T-mo US market such as My Favs, etc. They don't exist in UK). The FCC also list Tmobiles variant as having the 1700 band and as you may know, Tmobile US is setting up half of their 3g network on that band (upstream I believe). Since that band is not used in UK (or anywhere iirc) it's pretty certain that the documentation is for the US.
Then again, this is all speculation.
My problem however is that I want a fully featured unlocked Kaiser with all bands and all hardware options. I take residence in both US and abroad (Asia). Asia is no issue as the bands are common. Tmo US is my provider in the states though (and I have a really, really god data plan through them) and want 3g to work through them when in the US. Since the fact that they will use the 1700 band is my main hang up (otherwise, I probably would have had the Kaiser on day 1 )
The wait and uncertainty is killing me...I even emailed HTC some time ago about this but they have not responded.
hey guys, i'm also picking up the tilt and gonna use it on tmobile. just wondering, is anybody using the 5.99 proxy internet deal on the tilt? just making sure its gonna work, thanks

Works great!!
The only thing i found I cant get to work is the MMS setting, though i did find the post for it, but did not work for me.. so if anyone has setting that work for Tmobile w/tilt, much appreciated..

i am pretty sure i tried that myself,but it wont hurt to try again.. i did get it to work 1 time that was it.. now all it does is sit in either sent or draft folder w/ and red x next to the envelope.. thanks for the info!!
I just got the Kaiser for Christmas, and I got it working with the HTC rom on T-Mobiles network. My question is since my Kaiser was purchased on eBay and was for the Singapore/Vietnam market is there a US rom I can load that will better recognized T-Mobiles network. I have it working for normal phone calls and I am using BlackBerry Connect on it but every time I connect to the internet to use the browser it disconnects the BlackBerry Connect service. I would like both internet and BlackBerry to use the same connections. Does anyone have experience with this?
Thanks in advances
I own the MDA Vario III and am very pleased with it. There is one thing however that I stil haven't been able to get working since the Vario II and that is the H icon.
What I want to know is if it is enabled on the Vario III. I know it is on the TyTN II as my brother has that and it showed the magic H icon. Have any (dutch) T-Mobile users here ever have the H-icon appear?
Is in the phone settings 3G net enabled?
Not sure what you mean by that.
3G is enabled as I am getting the 3G icon. What else should I check?
see this thread.
I'm not sure whether T-Mob controls the HSDPA over their network or whether it is solely controlled through a registry entry.
As of yet, the other HSDPA users on this forum haven't been so helpful as I've posted a few queries about HSDPA on a variety of areas, with limited success
HSDPA on T-Mobile NL is not in service yet, but should be available soon. I've only seen the H on my phone once in Dublin, Ireland with O2.
I get a H in UK but I have a feeling HSPDA might be officially setup by tariff. I am on W&W plus if that makes a difference

No, I am on WnW basic, and I get the "H" within london
I dont get it where I live (just outside london)
I did ask T-Mobile (via email)about HSDPA and capped data-rate
High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) (Sometimes known as High-Speed Downlink Protocol Access) is a 3G mobile telephony protocol, which allows mobile networks to increase their data transfer speeds and capacity. T-Mobile currently support HSDPA speeds of up to 1.8 Mbps (Megabytes per second)
Access to HSDPA speeds is currently free on T-Mobile, however the customer will be charged based on the amount of data transferred (subject to Price plan and allowance)

though I worry aboute the "currently free" phrase ;-)
Hi there - I can use HSDPA on my Kaiser too - but ! I only see the HSDPA when I`m locked into data service - what I do want is that when ´`, in the normal phone mode that it not only shows the 3g but the H - does anyone know how to get this ???????????????
Many thanks in advance

I just switched to AT&T from T-Mobile (using an MDA) so I could get the Kaiser/Tilt at a great price.
Back with T-Mobile I used to pay for the T-Zones account for $5.99 a month and I would be able to get (albeit slow) internet access using that plan. Since I am usualy in an area with WiFi that worked out fine for me in the few instances when I needed the net while WiFi wasnt available.
AT&T though seems to only have data plans starting at $29.99 and up for the Tilt.
Does AT&T offer a similar WAP plan for another phone that I could put onto my plan and access the net the same way I used to with my MDA on T-Mobile?
with the right sales person, and the right person saying the right things, you can get 3g speeds for 19.99/month.
I think I just saw that plan on their site, the Cellular Connect Unlimited w/ Mail, meant for normal phone's not PDA's.
Guess I'll have to look into that option. Thanks.
Hi there,
I've had a quick look around the forums and see posts which are in other countries - so I wanted to ask in a new thread.
I'm in the UK and considering getting a TyTN2 (currently on an Xda Orbit).
I have some questions which im having a little trouble in finding definitive answers to -
1. Is it possible to use the TyTN2 as a 'modem'? i.e connect to the Internet at high speed and 'relay' the information to my laptop? if so, would that mean connecting the laptop and the TyTN2 via a cable? wifi? bluetooth?
2. If the above can be done wirelessly, is it then possible to share on 2 laptops? (I have a main Dell XPS M1710 and a XPS M1330 for more portable needs)
3. I'm currently with O2 for my voice calls. I can get another providers service and was looking at the 3 network for it's nice pricing, however it looks like I have to connect using their specific modem. Is it possible to connect to 3's network using the TyTN2?
4. The other operators Vodafone, Orange T mobile etc - would it be a case of sgning up to an airtime deal and popping the SIM card into the TyTN2, syncing to my laptop and away I go ?
I live around the West London, Heathrow area and am here 99% of my time - I understand full speed HSDPA won't be available all the time when travelling away and could be at much reduced speeds etc - at that point, what is 'surfing' on the screen like on the TyTN2? I find browsing on the Orbit using wifi a bit of a strain on that small screen, any better on the TyTN2? I 'doubt' it really and thats why Iwant to use my laptops screen(s)
Apologies if this is covered in other posts, I could only find sporadic info and from other countries etc
Any ideas and responses well appreciated !
cheers, Dennis Cooper!

You can use TyTN II as modem, but it's not exactly a *modem* - it uses network sharing application instead. Basically the idea is that TyTN becomes something like 'access point', which acts as a gateway to the internet for your computer. Connectivity options are USB cable and Bluetooth. I use both of them without much hassle, but I don't know how to do it in Windows world (I'm a Linux-boy

I don't think so. Unless you'll manage to set up whole thing like that:
TyTN II --> internet sharing --> XPS M1710 --> internet sharing --> XPS M1330
But I never tried such configuration.
3. I'm currently with O2 for my voice calls. I can get another providers service and was looking at the 3 network for it's nice pricing, however it looks like I have to connect using their specific modem. Is it possible to connect to 3's network using the TyTN2?

Yes, it is possible. They have recently introduced their Mobile Broadband offer (£10 / 1GB / month) into pay as you go, so you don't have to buy separate modem. Just get their payg SIM card, put it into Kaiser, activate Mobile Broadband add-on, get connection settings from their website, and use Internet Sharing app, as mentioned above. Should work.
4. The other operators Vodafone, Orange T mobile etc - would it be a case of sgning up to an airtime deal and popping the SIM card into the TyTN2, syncing to my laptop and away I go ?

I only know how it works for T-Mobile. They have £1 per day internet access offer on pay as you go. However, there are some catches:
1) T&C don't allow to use it modems for computers (such as Kaiser and your laptops), BUT practically it works without any problems.
2) There is 40 MB daily limit, which is not 'fixed' - meaning that if you exceed it, you will be still able to use the service - but T-Mobile will have an eye on you, and will have right to cancel your card straight away if you'll keep exceeding it too often.
3) Their payg SIM cards are NOT allowed to use HSDPA service, meaning mere 384 kbps, without any chance to upgrade it - even if you are within HSDPA coverage.
So, basically - if you're light user, T-Mobile pay as you go option should be OK for you, but when you plan to use internet on the go more often - Three's Mobile Broadband should be a better deal for you.
Of course, you also have option to sign up for contract, for example T-Mobile's Flext + web'n'walk, which would give you both voice minutes, as well as internet access on the go, but it's up to you.

I'm not sure what is HSDPA coverage by O2, but I'm on T-Mobile, and they basically have HSDPA deployed all around London already, with some sites upgraded to 3.6 Mbps speed.
When it comes to surfing on the screen, I recommend using Opera Mini 4. It's waaay better tha Pocket IE, and it's also much faster. It gives really great browsing experience in your pocket!
eva_d,
I am considering the tytn ii with the Flext 25 + web'n'walk from t-mobile, with it being 1gb a month unlimited internet access and my phone hsdpa compatible, does this price plan allow me to use hsdpa in london where i work rather than GPRS in a 3G covereage area?
thanks... sorry dennis to hijack your thread...

Yes, it allows HSDPA use.
I would check with t-mobile about the hsdpa theres a few posts about saying that t-mobile pulled hsdpa from the basic web and walk after mid october last year and made it availble to web and walk plus and the next higher tarrif. im on the £35 flext and web and walk basic and get hsdpa but i signed up in april last year. basically double check with t-mobile that you will get hsdpa on the w+w basic before you take out the contract.

This is true, and was told the same by the cust service rep on the phone. However i added the basic £7.50 W&W, and after enabling HSDPA in Kaisertweak, am getting recieving it anyway!
i just sent a message to tmobile and one of their customer represensatives called me up and say if i'm in a 3g area it will be running on HSDPA even on the flext 25 and web and walk.
however they say to take note on the 1gb cap per month data fair usage policy.
if that's the case, i think i'd sign on for the contract within the next few days together with the vario III
however i have an offer for an iphone for 300 quid contract free.... so i am abit of a fix of which one to go for...

I also have basic WnW package (£7.50/month), and I do get HSDPA, but I've started my contract in 2006. However, explanation for not giving HSDPA access in basic WnW seems to be fair and reasonable (although not necessarily loved by users) - as that basic package is designed to give internet connectivity directly from mobile phone, which would not be used as modem for computers. In such case, 384kbps (non-HSDPA) speed seems reasonable for use in phone only. When it comes to use it from computer, then it's low - but then you also need to get WnW Plus or Max packages...
I am going to upgrade do WnW Plus pretty soon, anyway. It's only £5 more per month, but allows legally use my Kaiser as modem, and also gives me full T-Mobile's WiFi hotspots access across UK.
