Xperia X10 Mini/pro :: Possible To Use Phone As Modem
Dec 9, 2010
I know that for Android devices USB tethering is only going to become possible from 2.2 Froyo, but I haven't seen an explanation for *why* such an important feature was omitted from 2.1 Eclair. I'd happily trade fifty live wallpapers for the functionality, I find it absolutely crazy that if I want to connect my pc to the internet using my phone as a modem, I needed to dust off my ancient SE Walkman phone, while my spiffy new Mini Pro couldn't help via Bluetooth or USB.
I have discovered that if Nokia Messaging is running on my N97 mini, using the "Internet" connection, it's impossible to use te the same time phone's modem, trying to connect to the Internet through a PC. In this case an error 734 is issued by WIndows (PPP connection terminated). The trick is to disconnect Nokia messaging; doing so will lead to a successful connection from the PC.
When I connect other BB, I can see in the DM that there is a 6th icon called IP modem to connect as a wireless internet IP modem, but how come in my 9700 I can't do that?
I noticed I can't receive calls while using the gps on my x6. A call went right to voicemail. Is that normal? I'm also thinking of trying to use my x6 as an internet modem. Can I still receive and make calls while the x6 is tethered as a modem?
I followed all the steps yesterday, downloaded the blackberry manager to my laptop, set up my configuration, and was connected for 10 mins. A phone call came through and after that I have been unable to use my phone as a modem.
why my phone is showing two phone calendars? There was only one before the update (GB 2.3.4) After update (ICS) its showing two and also I am not able to sync my phone calendar. It shows synced but the whole calendar is blank.
I've been using my 5800 for about six months but now I'm having trouble using the phone as a modem connected to my laptop via USB. I can get an internet through the handset on its own, but when I try to connect through PC Suite, i get a message saying 'Failed to establish a connection'.The modem service USED to work; first time, every time. The only thing I can think of is that it stopped working after I updated the phone software. Has anyone else encountered this & know of a fix? I'd prefer a quick solution before I start with backing everything up, factory resets etc.I'm using the latest phone software & PC Suite, Windows Vista & I'm on the Vodafone UK network. Like I said, it all USED to work perfectly.
I think it s silly quest..but i dont knw how to use phone as modem using NOKIA pc suit software for internetwork.. i ve installed 7.1version even though pc conneced to my mobile through ups cable type CA-101D. But there s no response in pc.what can i do pls expl clearly now im usg nokia c3-01
Problem receiving data when my SAMSUNG SGH T439 acts a data modem. Sending data is OK. I do not need to connect to the Internet.

CALLED SIDE: PC running Hyperterminal and either an internal PC data modem or a cellphone connected with a USB cable. CALLING SIDE: ATDT1234567 data (NOT voice) phone number of CALLED side CALLED SIDE: RING ATA answer CALLING SIDE: CONNECT 9600 data modems connected CALLED SIDE: CONNECT CALLING SIDE: type on keyboard to send data to CALLED side sending data is OK CALLED SIDE: sees data that CALLING side typed CALLING SIDE: does NOT see data that CALLED side typed receiving data FAILS CALLED SIDE: type on keyboard to send data to CALLING side
When I use a MOTOROLA V3T instead of SAMSUNG SGH-T439, sending and receiving data is OK. Samsung technical Level 3 help says it is a carrier (T-MOBILE) problem. It does not seem to be a carrier problem if it works with a MOTO cellphone.
I have motorola atrix 4 g unlcoked phone. I am located in India and want to use my instrument as modem to surf internet on my lap. Have spoken to my service provider and necessary changes were made, however service provided asked me to get Motorloa PC suite to be able to use phone as modem.
I have loaded the pc companion software and managed to connect my phone to my pc, but I am unable to use my phone as a dail-up modem. The pc companion software seems to have no function to do this. The internet on my phone works fine. How do I set up my experia x10 mini to use it as a dail-up modem?

I have xperia x8 E15I model. I have internet on my SIM. PC companion comes with phone but I guess that is not useful to connect to internet as I didn't see any option to connect to the internet on it. Can you please suggest me any software that I have to download and install on pc so that I can use my phone as modem and can use internet from it?
I was using another sony phone like a modem to have internet in my computer with Sony ericsson pc suite. The problem is that now in Companion 2.0 I have not the possibility to connect my computer to internet with my phone.
I have a rooted HTC Hero and I've previously used my phone's internet sharing mode succesfully but now it won't work. I called Sprint and they said they no longer support phone as modem but I luckily spoke to a tech that told me it is possibly and told me to ask around about how to get it to work.
I have just updated my Xperia 8 to 2.1 (eventually, because I use a Mac ) and can now no longer get the phone to connect to my home internet which it was happily doing untl that point. (Backed everything up & successfully restored all my other info / settings)I have reset the modem to factory settings, rebooted all the various equipment which all reconnected with the code. I type in the same code into the phone & it tells me that the code is incorrect & then that WiFi is 'disconnected'. So far, I have not been able to get to any access points for other free WiFi, so dont know if this is a general fault.
My phone is Nokia 2730 classic and I have this software: PC Connectivity Solution: Version 9.44.0.3 Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver: Version 7.1.23.0 Operating system: Microsoft Windows XP 32-bit Edition, Service Pack 3 Language: eesti Language for non-Unicode programs: Eesti Detected Internet browsers: - Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0 (Default browser) - Mozilla Firefox 3.5 Detected Bluetooth stacks: - Microsoft (Version: 5.1.2600, Build: 5512)
The problem is that I cant use my phone as an internet modem via bluetooth with Microsoft bluetooth stack (everything else works). I tried the BlueSoleil 6.4.299.0 driver and it works fine but I do not want to pay extra 19.95 euros for the driver.
I am having problem tethering my bold 9700 to my pc for use as a modem. I am on Tmobile service and am running Vista OS. I called Tmobile and was told that while they no longer support it, it could be done but that Tmobile would not provide me with directions to do so. Is there anyone out there that can give a technology challenged nerd like me step by step instructions to tether my 9700 to my pc with Windows vista. I have searched the forums and cannot find anything that fits what I need, instructions given are for other carriers than Tmobile and/or for Mac OS or Windows XP. I need info for Windows Vista OS, Tmobile carrier and 9700 blackberry.The blackberry desktop manager gives me the following error - unable to detect configured blackberry ip modem device. I have already verified that I do have a dial up modem and that it is working properly.Please help. I know that I can purchase TETHER and more than likely will but would like to learn to do this
I'm using Sony Ericsson k770i phone. I want to connect it to my pc and connect to internet. But when I connect my phone to PC using data cable, the user guide says click "Create new connection" But I cant find It in my SE pc suite. I'm using SE PC suite 4.0 My computer OS is Windows xp service pack2. can anyone help me?
I know this problem was discussed in many threads, and the solution has been given, but please somewhat read my problem instead of just throwing the same solution without reading.I am not sure when this problem started, but I did clear cache by using Apps 2 SD app before.Then I realised PC Companion isn't detecting my phone.
