Is there an option (registry setting) to allow the phone to just instantaneously have the phone be recognized as a DISK DRIVE ALL THE TIME when plugged in?...
reason i want this is because there is not timeout setting on my car radio. The radio don't wait the 5-10 seconds to allow you to select active sync or disk mode.
Why you need reg setting its too easy to get that setting. Go to start>settings>connection there u will find usb to pc app open it and remove the tick mark which says "ask me first when i connect" and then select disk drive option thats it. Next time when you plugin, it will automatically become disk drive.
Btw, its wrong section to ask this type of question.
Mods please move if necessary

That was the first thing but there is still a delay when plugged into the computer/car radio.

Did a search and didn't see a thread on this. Is is possible to set up an ad hoc wifi connection with my 8125 and my laptop then surf the web from the laptop using the phone as a modem? If so, how would I set it up? Thanks in advance...
Configure Cingular 8125 as a dial up modem
Found this on Howard's Forum
"Driver Installation
1) Insert the CD that came with the phone into your drive. Close the window that opens up.
2) Open up Activesync and go to File - Connection Settings. Remove the check from the box next to "allow USB connections"
3) Connect your Cingular 8125 to your Computer via USB
4) On the 8125 go to Start - Programs - Modem Link
5) In Modem Link choose USB under Connection and wap.cingular under Access Point Name.
6) Choose "activate" in modem link
7) Your computer should recognize the device and an "add new hardware" wizard should appear.
8) Choose "No, not this time" and click next
9) Choose "Install from a list or specific location [Advanced]" and click next
10) Choose "Search for the best driver in these locations"
11) Check the box next to "Include this location in the search"
12) Browse to the Following location [CD Drive]:\OEM\APPS\Drivers\USB Modem
13) Click Next
14) A dialog box will pop up, click Continue Anyway
15) Click Finish to complete the driver installation
Connection setup
1) Go to Start - Control Panel - Network Connections
2) Choose "Create a new Connection"
3) Click Next
4) Choose "Connect to the Internet" and click Next
5) Choose "Set up my connection manually" and click Next
6) Choose "Connect using a dial-up modem" and click next
7) Choose any name you want for ISP Name and click Next
8) Type *99# in the Phone number field and click Next
9) User Name: [email protected]
Password: CINGULAR1
Confirm password: CINGULAR1
Note: the username and password need to be all in caps
10) Click Next
11) Click Finish
That's it, you should have a connection that will dial up to Cingular's GPRS network. If you have Edge service in your area you will get Edge speeds."
The windows mobile software doesn't have the ability to be a host for a ad hoc, i looked into it. The way i do it is using bluetooth, I run linux and have bluetooth on my laptop and connect to my phone that way. It works well, just slow.
Well darn. I was hoping to be able to set up a wireless connection using wifi, but guess not. Thanks Ozoner for the tips on using the usb. I'll just have to haul the usb cable around I guess.

I have played around with this, but could never get it work. Any advice on how to configure?
I have an original HTC TP. When connected to my PC (Vista 32 bit) active sync works and the TP is recognized. When I want to browse the contents of TP I cannot see anything? The content window shows 0 files? I've checked my folder settings and they are set to view all hidden and sys files. Even when I go to "my computer" and click on the TP icon, the content window opens and there's nothing there? I've disabled antivirus and firewall and still nothing? This is driving me crazy...

If you turn on Active Sync you can see everything when plugged into your PC. If you have it on Disk Drive, you will only see your storage card.

I have it set on Activesync and when I browse my device, there's nothing there? Shows an empty window with 0 files.
I know with mine I had to choose show hidden files and uncheck "hide protected operating system files"

I've tried that as well. Still shows 0 files.
Yout need to go into your USB to PC connection settings (start\settings\connections\USB to PC). Uncheck enable advanced network functionality. This should work. The only thing you really want checked or bolded on that page is the ActiveSync (Sync with Outlook) at the top of the page.
Hope this helps.

Yes, have re-booted, re-installed Windows Mobile centre, turned off virus and firewall...Still get 0 items displayed. When I sync up on another machine (running Vista) all is fine and see files...
first let me put on my flame retarding coat
20 years later, I still find DOS batch scripts very useful
I've been unsuccessfully trying to find a way to access the device from a DOS prompt
Since unticking the "advanced network connection" in USBtoPC gets to manage the connection process as a standard USB drive, I think it should be possible
Any suggestions or recommended reading ??
Thanks in advance

unless u can map to to a drive i guess not.
but ... powerfull or not, use VBscript. thats even more powerfull and builtin into windows anyway. shouldnt be much of a problem with it.
There was a program which was allow you to access device from dos prompt. I can't remember the name of it but for sure it was freeware available at freewareppc.com
Enjoy
It's called RCMD by the way

So, has anyone been able (or even tried) to get something like this working yet?
Kaiser running GPSGate
Notebook running Google Earth
Use Kaiser as external GPS for Google Earth
Try as I might, I just can't get this to work. Google Earth just can't seem to recognize my Kaiser as a GPS device.
Thanx.
i have done this before over bluetooth (instructions were for xp but was no prob with vista). it uses GPS2Blue (free) http://users.skynet.be/hofinger/GPS2Blue.html
the site i used seems to have gone now but from the page i saved:
"Here is what i did:
On your PDA
1. Go to BT settings on your device and make it discoverable.
2. Go to COM Ports Tab and create a new incoming port (mine is COM6)
In GPS2Blue
3. set your GPS to 4 (this is your internal GPS port ..see under Start –> Settings–>GPS)
4. enable BT on and set it to the COM you created in step 2.
5. Press Button ON
On your PC
6. Open your Bluetooth settings… i used Microsoft not Widcomm
7. Add a new Device
8. Choose your PDA
9. When this is done click properties on your device and go to the TAB services.
10. Now it will find a serial Port (SPP) ‘Serial Port’ COM 8 (in my case) enable it and press OK.
11. Now go to the TAB Com Ports and press button ADD. Choose your device and choose the Serial port.Now you have connected COM port 8 on your PC to COM Port 6 on your device. The only thing you will have to do is choose COM Port 8 as your GPS port in your application."
hope that helps
Thanx for the instructions! Unfortunately, I've run into a bit of a snag. Following your instructions...
START > Settings > Bluetooth
Click "Mode" tab
Click "Turn on Bluetooth"
Click "Make this device visible..."
Click "COM Ports" tab
At this point, I have no option anywhere within my Bluetooth settings to "...create a new incoming port..." Even the instructions in the Bluetooth control panel state, "After pairing with a device, to set up a COM port tab New Outgoing Port." Unfortunately, that option is nowhere to be found. Could this be an issue with the phone ROM? Perhaps the developer left the functionality out by accident?
Thanx.
Hi,
I am pretty sure someone already faced this problem, but I could not find the related thread.
Normally if I connect my phone to my PC using USB, I have been asked which kind of connection I would like to have.
I always chose active sync and did not care about the other ones.
Last time I was tried internet connection sharing, that was a bad choice :-(
Since this time the pop up is gone and I have no possibility to switch back to active sync. It always opens the internet connection sharing. I already tried to change the setting in the usb2pc menu, but that does not help.
I am using the ROM "Gen.Y Manila by yozgatg" with TouchFLO 3D 2.1.38658.0 VGA.
Thanks!
AdmiralX
Please. anyone HELP!!
;-)
finally I got to popup back and can select active sync or external disc.
but only the external disc is working, if i select active sync the windows pc is still trying to start the internet connection sharing.
if no one can help, does anyone know a forum where I could get help?
Go into Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC, there you can enable the selection screen again

finally I found a solution, I had to change three different registry keys and deactivate fast data sync (was working with this option enabled before).
hi..is there a way we can choose activesync while fone is locked on password and stop it from going into diskdrive mode?
if you do Twabi2's suggestion the other way around and select acive sync once,
it should be possible.
