Hi all, I have a weird problem.
I have a tilt and am using the HTC rom, I connect to wifi in my apartment and 3G or HSDPA when I leave the apartment.
When I'm connected through wifi, my Slingplayer works flawlessly, finds my slingbox, and plays the video. When I try to connect outside using 3G/HSDPA, I get "Cannot connect with current connection settings"
I know the Slingbox is working correctly because I can connect to it through a desktop PC without a problem, and I know that the 3G works fine on my tilt because I have no problem loading websites, using mundi, etc.
Any ideas? I've seen a couple other posts on other forums with the same problem but there were no responses on them.
Thanks!
Can you connect to anything else when on 3G?
Try your proxy settings
Did you change the default ports on the SlingBox config?
Are those ports (default or modified) open from the outside of your firewall/router?
If you have the ability to monitor inbound connections try monitoring while you connect through 3G and see if your device attempts on the correct port and that it is NATed to the correct IP and port.

I had exactly the same problem with my Belkin router. You need to set up a port on your router in order for it to work. I know on mine it involved setting up a virtual server.
I am using the TyTN II and I am having the same exact problems. I think AT&T killed access to slingbox somehow. I can surf the internet just fine, and then as soon as I start the slingplayer, my connection gets lost and my phone says "cannot sonnect with current connection settings." Any help would be appreciated, especially with the World Series coming up this week.

Possibly a silly point but can you definitely connect over the internet to it? Or just over your LAN?
There's a wizard that enables the port forwarding for you - (called Remote Viewing or something?) should be with the software for the slingbox.
Could be that your desktop is just going direct over the LAN?
Also, I had problems when I was just using the automatic settings to configure the box - in the end it works far better if you ignore the UPnP stuff, and use the manual setup process (or so I found). Again, the desktop software wizard steps you through this.
If you can connect over wifi at home, but not over wifi or 3g when away, then unless AT&T are blocking the ports, its more likely your router settings, as at home you are inside your LAN but elsewhere you have to go through your routers hardware firewall.
Just have a look at slingbox's help files.
SlingBox works fine on AT&T. Check your proxy settings on the phone. Try the "remove hidden proxy" cab. The home router also needs an outgoing port defined as well. Good Luck, I know it can work.
I will bet that it's your router/firewall blocking the incoming net traffic. Try connecting to it from a Friend's internet connection or a public computer at the library or something.
Had a similar problem with slingplayer mobile on my new HTC TouchPro- phone from Vodafone but I put in my T-mobile SIM as I wanted to keep the Web and walk.
Slingplayer worked fine from Vario3 with same sim but not from TouchPro. Eventually unticked the use proxy server in the connection settings and it started to work. Weird, as on the Vario the proxy box is ticked and it works.
Anyway, worth trying if anyone else is having problems.
One of two things, either you have not port fowarded your router to allow the Slingbox to be remotly viewed, go to portfoward.com for exact instructions for your specific router, or your hidden proxy is messing with it. More than likley its not port fowarded correctly. BTW...when your in your home network, i.e... using WiFi, it will work without the router being fwded because your slingbox is already inside your home network. When coming from the outside of your home network through 3g or whatever your router has to allow access to the slingbox.
I would like to connect my S730 to my laptop (Windows XP) via USB, and then use the S730 as a modem for a dial-up connection. That means using a connectoid on the laptop to specify the phone number. I can do this with other cellphones. For my JasJar (WM 5 for Pocket PC Phone Edition), I needed a driver for the laptop and then need to use the Wireless Modem on the JasJar. For my Cingular 3125 (WM 5 for Smartphone), I need to Activate the modem connection. I haven't found a way with my S730. "Internet Sharing" seems to let a laptop share a connection initiated on the S730, which means the S730 has all the settings, including the phone number where appropriate (this is definitely not as clear as I would like:-(
Thanks.
That is how it works. Internet sharing...then make sure all of your settings are correct...then connect. Worked fine for me...better than the dial-up way with WM5.
Yeah, its extreemly simple, just connect your phone to the computer and make sure the computer registers the connection, can close or minimize ative sync if it pops up. Then on your phone open Internet Sharing, connection should be USB, and Network Connection should be whatever your network offers. Then hit connect. Give it a few seconds and your online.
Used this feature several times while on vacation during the holidays. Got about 20kb's down max (Edge)
Thank you for your replies. But I'm pretty sure your solution is not what I want. My ISP has dial-up service that can be convenient when I'm traveling (definitely slow, but good enough). So that is what I want to access. And I do not have any sort of network/data service from my T-Mobile. So I really want to use the connectoid on my laptop that lets me specify the phone number and enter the password on my laptop.
I'm not sure the S730 can act as a dial up modem?
I see what your saying, and as is I do not believe the phone can do it as it comes from the box. You would have to find a way to have your phone while connected to the computer also show up as a modem option for you to use it that way.
If you have the dial up numbers from your ISP why not just get a phone cord and plug it in while your on the road? Most laptops still come with built in modems which is what your after.
There might be some applications out there that allow you to configure a connection to use the phone as a dial up modem, but I honestly havent heard of any (havnt looked either soooo)
You also might try finding wifi hotspots and doing what was already suggested. Then you get DSL through your phone on the computer, or if the computer has a wifi card...
S730 as Modem: Success!
Well, I gave up on my original quest, but found something close enough. All settings on the S730.
First, I set up a Dial-up connection that dials my ISP, and set it to connect to The Internet.
Then I set Connection Sharing to use USB for the PC Connection and the Dial-up connection for the Network Connection. Press Connect, connect the cable, and my laptop is on-line!!
Not needing to add software to my laptop is nice. Typing my password on the cell phone rather than laptop is not so nice. But that is being fussy.
So, thanks for the help. It actually did prod and guide me to a good solution.
Useful when other options are unavailable, pricey, or less convenient.
Dear all,
After reading lots of threads on configuring the TyTnII as a USB-modem, things are still clear (at all...). Let's make this one the definitive "TyTnII USB-modem-thread". Is there anyone who knows if it is possible to use the TyTnII as a traditional dial-up modem given the following:
- PDA: TyTnII - WM6.1
connected via USB to:
- Computer: Microsoft Windows XP
Use:
- Windows internet explorer, on the laptop, connects to the internet using the PDA as a (usb) dial-up modem.
For those who want to know what the meaning is of all this: My laptopn, connected to my pda could be used for calling into a on-site modem, connected to a technical installation. So the "internet service provider's telephone number" is actually the number of this modem. Once a connection between the modem and my laptop (via PDA) had been established, I can have all the readings of the installation by using internet explorer. So basically, it's the same type of application as a dial-up internet connection.
What I am NOT looking for:
- Jet another explanation that the "modem" connection in WM5 has been replaced by"shared internet" in WM6. I am NOT using the phone its WiFi. I want the phone to act as a traditional analogue modem, calling an internet provider.
Before giving any comment without contributing to the solution: Rest assured, I've read them all & I'm not interested in non-contributing content!
Kind regards,
Gert Beckers

not really
What you want is possible but you're probably not going to find a carrier that will allow you to do it. You would need a feature on your wireless plan allowing circuit switched data, which to my knowledge hasn't really been offered for several years. Good luck
o.k.
o.k., another "is possible".
Does anyone actually know how to do this?

Hi, I have had some limited sucess with this....
I included 'MODEMLINK' in my ROM as well as 'Internet Sharing'. Internet Sharing has always worked for me, however it only allows Internet access - i.e. the phone establishes a HSDPA/3G/GPRS connection to an APN on your carriers network, it then acts as a DHCP server and DNS Proxy as well as a NAT device. If you are using XP (and Vista?) then a new device automatically gets installed - 'Internet Sharing Device' and you can access the Internet over this connection. Apologies for repeating this but it's important to understand the differences.
I also integrated 'MODEMLINK' into my ROM. When this is activated a new, unknown device gets detected by XP. If you download and extract the 'HTC USB Modem' drivers and point XP to these when it asks a new COM Port and Modem gets installed - I have COM 4 and attached to this is a 'HTC USB Modem'. I can then open up Hyperterminal and configure it to talk to COM 4 directly. From here I can issue 'AT' commands to control the modem:
Code:
OK
ati
Microsoft Corporation AT Command Interpreter Settings...
E1 L0 M0 Q0 V1 X4 &C1 &D2
S00=000 S01=000 S02=043 S03=013 S04=010
S05=008 S06=002 S07=060 S08=002 S10=014
S12=050
OK
If I attempt to dial an analogue line (i.e. my home phone) using the AT string 'ATDT0123456789' it looks like it connects and then disconnects a second or so later:
Code:
atdt0123456789
CONNECT
NO CARRIER
However the phone doesn't ring. If I attempt to dial one of the Free ISP dialup numbers I do get a connection but I think it is because the call gets switched to an ISDN Primary Rate line at the ISP (not an analogue line like I have at home). I thought this might be the configuration of the 'CSD line type' in Connection Settings, but I have tried all combinations and I still can't get it to ring my home phone.
A few years ago I had a HP iPAQ 6300 with Windows Mobile 2003 and this allowed me to do dialup to analogue modems so it should be possible. It may be some AT command switches that need to be applied, however I gave up as I don't really use it. Have a search for 'HTC USB Modem AT commands' and see if anything turns up?

I thought I would just have another look at this and have now managed to get it to ring my home phone and when I answered I could hear the modem tones )
This is what I did.
1. I have BlackBerry Connect installed so I suspended this to start with as I could see the APN connection disconnecting and connecting a few times as I was playing around.
2. In Connection Settings I set the CSD Line Type to Data rate 9600 bps(v.32) and Connection element: Transparent
3. I then activated Modem Link with the Connection set to USB.
4. HTC USB Modem was already installed so I opened Hyperterminal and set it to talk directly to COM4 at 9600, 8-data bits, 1-stop bits, no parity and no flow-control.
5. Typed the AT command to dial my home phone (ATDT0123456789) which rang my phone. I haven't got a modem attached but I could hear the modem attempting to handshake.
6. I then dialed one of the free UK ISPs and got this:
Code:
atdt08447110494
CONNECT

I think the CSD Line Type is important - I assume either V32 or V34 will work as these are modem standards. V110 & V120 are ISDN standards so I don't think will work. The Connection element I assume also must be set to 'Transparent'. I also think my BlackBerry Connect software was conflicting so this is why I suspended it.
HTH

It looks like there's good progress being made on this one then
OK, just some theory for my 2p's worth...
I'm not sure wireless plans should pose too much of an issue, I know things might be different in Belgium but here in the UK I don't know of too many drastic issues using 'analogue' modems over GSM. Of course all digital cellular traffic is exactly that, but in a voice call there's A/D and D/A at each end - for the simple fact that when I call my mum, I say "Hello, Mum!" and not 1100110101011100110111101110111110010111 (I know I'm being daft, but you see my point). The element of CSD not being available on service plans would I guess only come into play if you wanted your cellular provider to be your access layer to a network, namely the internet - in that way your GSM device would use a WAP access number to 'dial modem(s)' at your cellular provider and connect it to the internet via their (computer) network. That of course is what's largely unavailable with cellular telcos these days, as of course GPRS and UMTS connectivity have replaced that.
What you're actually trying to achieve though is simply a point-to-point 'analogue' call. Picture this - you have two human beings, who happen to have the amazing talent of being able to speak 'faxish' - If person A dials person B's number and screeches down the phone, so long as person B can hear the screeching and is able to screech back down the line, there's no reason the two can't negotiate and use an 'analogue' modem (/fax) connection.
In simple terms the problem with CSD not being available leads to the remote device (your modem/handset etc) dialling a number to negotiate a connection with an 'analogue' modem which simply isn't there anymore. Of course that problem isn't evident in this scenario though - your plan isn't for the cellular provider to give you access to a data network, you simply want to use them as transport between your modem and a similar device elsewhere - both completely accessible by a 'voice' number.
So, so long as you can make voice calls on your cellular plan, there is no real reason for your cellular service to bring your plan to an abrupt end.
This is all backed up by the fact that the TAM company I'm a field engineer for uses GSM modems in some of its communication. In some situations we have a GSM device which is for all intents and purposes a GSM phone with 'automatic answer' enabled, with an 'analogue' modem on its mic and speaker (it's not exactly that in electrical terms - but that's a fair description of what happens in effect). We dial into its voice number from a modem in the office and we have a data connection for our own proprietary data-link. In other equipment, the same thing happens in reverse - we have a GSM communications box containing a modem that, each night, automatically dials out from a GSM device to what is essentially a voice number with a modem sat at the end waiting to negotiate a similar connection.
There are no special service plans involved - they use standard SIM cards with standard packages - the only special deal in our case is that the 'outbound dialling' remote devices are prevented from dialling any number other than our modem lines, but this is done by our request to the provider(s) - we have Vodafone and Orange SIMs in use in this way, but I've no reason to expect any other provider wouldn't be able to deliver the same.
So, it all comes down to the device itself - back in the WM2003 and WM5 days 'tethered internet' seemed simply to be the provision of a modem, and it was just the choice of specific modem commands that caused it to route to an active GPRS/UMTS session - via a virtual (my term, not HTCs) dial-up connection.
This is all just theory to help back up the HyperTerminal examples above. I can't help wondering what would happen if you just set-up a standard dial-up modem connection from within XP using the HTC USB modem as the selected device, dialling (for example) 0845 665 3000 - which is an 'open' dial-up number from http://www.adial.co.uk/ - I can't help thinking that you'd get a PPP TCP/IP connection without any headaches. If that's the case there's no reason you couldn't use the same method to dial any modem to negotiate a similar connection, or indeed HyperTerminal to do anything less 'standard'...

Rob.
Hello to all,
I'm developing an application in C# using .Net Compact Framework version 3.5 for the Htc Diamond. I want to access from the htc a socket that is already opened and listening in this same htc phone. In this case this port corresponds to a socket from the Pushregistry from the JVM running in the Htc.
My problem appears when trying to open or start a connection from the C# application to this specified port on the same device.
I'm not sure which addresses or hostnames are valid to access localhost in mobile devices. I've tried several different ones, which I will list bellow.
127.0.0.1: this one didn't work, it told me that the machine actively refused the connection
169.254.2.1: it only worked when the phone was connected to a computer with activesync
localhost: I checked which adresses where mapped to this name. The address was 127.0.0.1 so it didn't work also.
Finally what I decided was to use the hostname given to the device, which was in this case "Touch_Diamond" (which is set by default), and the app worked and was able to establish connection with this local socket. The address that was mapped to this hostname, was the ip that the device had for its external connection (which could be through wifi, 3g or gprs).
So, my question is if there are other addresses or way to establish connection with a local service through sockets or if maybe I'm doing something wrong
I have an AT&T TILT which I have been using on AT&T until last week when my company decided they wanted to move us to T-Mobile.
I have an updated ROM - Duttys_WM6_1_5.2.19700_Hybrid V2_1_65.14.06 [No_Cube V2]
I have installed Blackberry connect 4.0.0.97 and I am using Blackberry Desktop 4.0.0.19.
I connect to my corporate BES server.
This worked fine with AT&T, but now I am on T-Mobile I am having issues connecting. I looked through the XDA forums (and others) for about 12 hours so far with no success.
I recently did a hard reset, set the Version/AKU reg entry to .0.4.2 and re-installed the BBC software (I've also tried versions .103, .104 and .107)
On the phone I get PIN Pending and for IP Address: No connection. When I try to configure device via BBC desktop software I get a message that the PC can not communicate with the device (returned PIN = 0) and that I should check BB service is running.
Any ideas? I have checked through my IT department that the BB service is set up and set for BES access. I think the main issue it that I am not getting a PIN.
Need help
Additional info:
On the Status tab, it says Suspended by User.
I select 'Resume' and it says 'Not Connected' and then changes to 'Network Available'. It stays like this for some time and then goes back to Suspended by User
Make sure your T-Mobile account is provisioned for Blackberry Enterprise. Also make sure T-Mobile is not blocking your IMEI. AT&T has done this, I don't know about T-Mobile.
If you're not getting a pin while connected to the blackberry connect desktop assuming everything else is ok, it must be a problem communicating with rim through t-mobile.
In the end i switched to Air Sync and this works 1000 better than BB-Connect ever did.
