Re: VISTA: How to use the 700wx as a modem
I use PDA Net by June Fabrics and it works really well. Am able to connect using USB and Bluetooth and get speeds of up to 500k downloading on SpeakEasy speed test.

Re: VISTA: How to use the 700wx as a modem
I had been having problems using PDAnet with my 700wx and both XP and Vista. If it downloaded at speeds greater than 25KB/s my phone would lock up requiring a soft reset. By using the directions in the first post I have now found a solution, however it requires me to throttle my downloads at 20KB/s. If you use Firefox and click on Tools>Add-Ons>Browse all add-ons and then search for Firefox Throttle. You will need to log in to install it. Once installed and Firefox is restarted click on Tools>Add-Ons and then on Options for Firefox Throttle 1.03. I set my Throttle download to 20 KBytes/s and my Throttle upload to 10 KBytes/s, kept the "Allow short rate bursting after periods of inactivity" UNCHECKED and then Save Defaults. I also set the maximum speed in the Treo USB modem options to 115200. I am running Vista64 and had to use one of these USB modem drivers, not sure which. Not the performance I was hoping for but it is better than nothing or constant lockups. Hope this helps someone with similar problems.

Re: VISTA: How to use the 700wx as a modem
Forgot to mention that my lockups happened whether I used PDAnet, Modem link (as describe in 1st post), or Bluetooth modem to connect. I verified the above to work with the modem link connection on Vista64 and successfully browsed for over 30+ minutes and download 2 files of 5.5 MB and 9.8 MB successfully.
UPDATE: I recently flashed to NightRavens WM6.1 Sprint 1.3 ROM with great success and am now able to use WM6 Internet Sharing to connect by USB without any lockups or issues. DSLReports speed tests are 863 down and 126 up on the Sprint (Chicago) server. No special setup needed for this internet connection. Last edited by davidck65; 02-26-2009 at 02:38 AM. |

Re: VISTA: How to use the 700wx as a modem
just checked this thread for the heck of it and I see most of you have been having problems with the connection, I will tell you that after my Treo was upgraded I had to use bluetooth in order to use it as a modem. I no longer have a Treo so I would be unable to make instructions for you.
wow, I found out that I wrote a how to using bluetooth, no response though... hmm http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=26329 Last edited by elephant007; 02-13-2009 at 10:12 PM. |
