O2 XDA mini S as Internet VoIP handset

Hi,
I have an O2 XDA mini S.
Wanted to check if one can use this device as an Internet VoIP handset, using the USB port to connect with laptop/desktop.
Once connected to laptop/desktop use the broadband/dialup to connect to internet
I dont wish to use GRPS/EDGE for connecting to Internet (I know it is possible to use GPRS and use Skype/MSN etc...)....!!!!
Also wanted to check, if any one has used any mobile phone with Infrared/USB connectivity, to connect to the laptop and use the mobile phone as Internet VoIP handset. I dont wish to avoid use of multiple devices and also reduce my overall cost.

Skype Only
I have used Skype on the xda mini s and that works quite well on gprs or wifi but i never heard of using the xda as a voip phone/usb phone. i do not beleive that the usb can function that way. i have never heard of it being used as a usb device/phone, only used with Skype. You can download the Skype cab free from their website. Hope this helps. MD.

other VOIP phone
I have used SJ Phone on HTC Wizard(WM5) as VOIP phone via WiFi. You can create own profiles for any VOIP operators if they provide requested data (I tried Voipcheap & JustVoip). I never heard of any program using wizard/xda as usb phone. Rgds

Use Trinity as wireless

Hi ppl! Don't know if this is the right place to post this but here it goes!
I've wandered if there is a way to use my sweet Trinity as an wireless receiver,like those external wireless usb pens, anyone has any idea if it is possible? I'de like to use my trinity to connect to a wireless LAN.

Hey it's funny because i was thinking at the same idea !
It should be very nice to be able to do so !
If someone has an idea for that ?
Thank's for the help

I don't know if I understand your question correctly. You want to hook up your say notebook to the Internet via Trinity's builtin wifi?
I think it's possible - but not through the Internet Sharing program - since it doesn't treat wireless lan as a modem.
Though I haven't actually tried, I believe you can use BT DUN of WM6 instead.

Have you tried this on WM6?
Any options on WM5?
I'm in the same situation, my desktop PC hasn't wifi and I want to use my trinity as a USB modem and connect to Internet through its wifi capabilities, but the Internet Sharing hasn't the wifi as an option.
Maybe there is such a program like a proxy to achieve this, but I'm not able to find it.

your desktop dont have wifi ?
but your internet router does?
personaly i never seen a pda work as router not sure if the work load is too big

Yes, my desktop computer doesn't have wifi but my Internet router does.
The idea is installing some kind of proxy on the Trinity to share its wifi connection.
It seems it isn't as easy as it would be. I've found this blog entry from Werner Ruotsalainen, but the JVM he recommends doesn't work for me. I'm going to try another JVM when I have some time.

mmh, just trying to do the same... I got it working with the PocketPCProxy from the blogpost. But its not very stable :-(
Any other proxyservers for WM avaliable??

Using Diamond with Car-PC via bluetooth?

Hi there,
I got a car-pc since a while and have been using my sony ericsson with it... calls get transferred via bluetooth to the computer, as like phonebook in integrated into the car-pc software... all transmitted via bluetooth...
Now with the diamond, how do i set it up as a phone? winXP doesnt recognize other services than the moden funxtion

you should enable Remote SIM access on you Diamond: Start -settings - connections bluetooth SIM acces and also activate the service for your BT connection (do this in the first tab of the BT settings dialogue after connectig)

already done :-( But the Computer doesn't list other functions than modem for the HTC
Do i need any drivers for XP? Usually not...

Using Diamond & CarPC Via Internet sharing over BT
I have a CarPC in my car, it has a 7" touch screen & it is running WinXP and have built in Bluetooth. So for surfing in the internet , MSN, Skype in my car over the carpc i am using my HTC Diamond with the Internet Sharing icon and connecting it via Bluetooth to the carPC so i get FAST Internet over Bluetooth between my carpc and my HTC Diamond.
It works very good - very stable.
Matter of fact it is "capturing" my 3G Internet and pass it over Bluetooth to the carpc.
Solution works very well.

k, but i am not interested in using it as internet connection, i want to phone via the computers hardware, so the car-pc should act as an headset... besides that, he shoult be able to access the adress book and to begin calls... that for, i neeed 2 comports emulated, but how to create them?

could it be because the device is seen as a PDA, and not as a mobile phone?
I know somewhere here on XDA there is a reg hack for earlier devices to make them appear as a mobile phone to car kits. maybe the same thing will help here. I don't know where it is, can only suggest searching, unless anyone else can point you in the right direction....

I used to have PhoneConnector on my CarPC, with PhocoAdapter on the phone. It worked, but now this software is not supported anymore and unfortunately it does not work with WM6.
Freefone is not compatible either.
My good Blackbaron, I believe we users of CarPCs and Windows Mobile are scr...d!
By the way, sharing the 3G connection workds a treat, by USB, BT, Wifi... I just wish Vodafone would allow other ports than port 80

I still didnt realize what 3G is... ^^ I never owned a ppc before...

Well, on the CarPC the internet speed is as great as a DSL line, here is France I measured it at more than 3.5 MB/s (KS20 is limited to 4 MB/s with HSDPA, who knows why). Coming from the crappy Edge Motorola phone I had before, the browsing is truly amazingly fast!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1) Launch the Internet Sharing application on your phone (all WM6 phones have it)
2) Select your 3G connection, and BT or USB, tap "Connect"
3) USB: have ActiveSync installed on the PC, connect the USB cable, it's done.
4) BT: you have to set up a BT PAN hosted from your phone, add your PC to it, it's done.
5) If your provider uses a proxy, setup Firefox to use it (Tools/Options/Advanced/Network)
6) If your provider has a filter on User Agent, then you need the plug-in "User Agent Switcher", to put the same User Agent string as on your phone.
There you go!

Internet Sharing problems via Bluetooth

Hello, I have a problem when I try sharing my PDA's HSDPA to my Computer over Bluetooth.
I often use the Internet Sharing Option on my Diamond to get Internet on my Laptop.
Yesterday I tried the first time to share the Connection over Bluetooth (usually I use the USB)
But it doesn't work!
I open a Bluetooth PAN on my Diamond, then I connect my PC to the PAN.
Everything seams working well! My PC shows me that he is connected to the Diamond's Network Access, Signal Strength: Good, Packets are comming trough...
Now I try to open the Internet (IE 6), but he cannot reach any page! Only sometime he opens a bit of a site... But most times he tells me that there is nothing avaiable...
When I connect my Diamond then on a USB cable and I try it... it works fine...
What am I doing wrong???
P.S.: There is no Firewall, neigther an Anti-Virus

bump or whatever ? help ???

i'd also like to get the info on how to set up a pan on the diamond so i can use it with my oqo 0+

It seams like nobody has any help or anser for this? Is there anybody who shares the same problem?

you are not alone!
tho i'm far from being of any help as i have less of an idea than you!!

Diamond PAN
I have the same problem connecting using BT but it works perfectly using USB

Yep, a friend of mine has the same problems... do you think there could be a bug?
If it is in...
...Active Sync, I will try an older version just for tests
... the Diamond itself?? Don't know
... Windows, i did all Updates, nothing changed
.. Bluetooth Driver, try to update this one.
That are the things where the problem could be... Or are there any other ideas?

Using at&t tilt as GPS Receiver for Laptop Turn by Turn software?

Ok I have been looking for a solutions for a long time. I want to use my shiny new Dell Mini 10 with windows 7 for turn by turn directions and i want to use my at&t tilt as the GPS receiver. So, what FREE solutions do I have? Google Earth would be sweet if it had VOICE directions.. but I know the odds of finding a free solution for that is going to be slim.
also, i keep thinking that i'll need a data connection AND a way to share the gps signal?!
bluetooth isn't an option.. at least not yet. I have to buy a BT dongle some day soon. HOPEFULLY i can find a miniscule BT USB thing so it wont stick out the side of the mini too much.
So i have 2 options for connections.. i have WIFI router on the tilt or i have to use USB. but as far as i know.. if i use usb i have to then CHOOSE between internet sharing or activesync... i need to use active sync to share the gps ports but i need internet sharing to get the data connection!!?? sooooo confused..
someone PLEASE help me
thats the situation.. to review... here are the questions i need answered.
1) what software to use on the laptop?
2) what software(s) to use on the phone?
2a) gps sharing?
2b) internet sharing?
3) how to connect the two? (usb, wifi or bt)
THANKS AHEAD OF TIME to whoever responds..
and please don't BURN me because I HAVE SEARCHED.. if you know the threads i should read then please just link me and i'll be happy to read them over..

Well, you'll need something like gps2blue
http://users.skynet.be/hofinger/GPS2Blue.html
on the tilt and Hardware Virtual Serial Port from here:
http://www.hw-group.com/products/hw_vsp/index_en.html
That will make the GPS on the Tilt look like a Serial port GPS device to the netbook.
That is the easy part. I don't think you'll find a free GPS mapping product with turn-by-turn voice commands.

Actually you will
