data connection while attached via usb cable?

chrisk · #1 (**permalink**) 10-11-2006, 12:53 PM

I still just have the orignal battery for my 6700, so when I listen to streaming music the battery drain happens very quickly. Is there a way that I can use the usb cable attached to my 6700 and laptop and still access the data service? I have activesync installed on both devices.

u won't be able to do so while attached to the desktop, unless on wifi I think, can't remember is been awhile since I last actually synced with a desktop. the only way to use it as a charger only is to disable activsync if I'm not mistaken....and theres a program in the software section, that someone posted recently I do believe that will do this for u with the press of a button.

hope this helps.

When attached via active sync the 6700 uses the data connection through the computer. So as long as the computer is connected to the internet so is the 6700. You should be able to access the web with the same data speeds that the computer is getting. So as long as the computer has an internet connection there should be no problem charging and listening to streaming music at the same time. I am doing it right know. Hope that helps

thats not how mine acts, it wont connect to anything untill i unplug it from the cradle. still wondering why it does that, and my laptop is getting internet connection but wont connect on my phone. chrisk, if you have wireless internet, you might want to try out the wifi on the phone

Sonin66 are you using ActiveSync when you are connected? I tried this with my 700wx as well and it connects fine. I wonder whats different. Got any ideas?

like ~mike said, all you need to do is disc. the activesync and you can activate the evdo and streem away

but why dont you just use you device as a modem when conected you laptop (bigger screen)

OK I think I got it

the reason I can connect to the internet when on ative sync is Pocket Controler. One of the features of PC is multiple TCP/IP addresses. Read about it here

Sorce Pocket controler: Configure multiple Connection profiles, multiple TCP/IP addresses, control multiple Pocket PC devices simultaneously by running multiple instances of Pocket Controller.

Any one else useing Pocket Controler? Dose this work for you?

I connect my ppc to my pc via activesync and be able to charge and stream off the pc's internet connection.

wingzero Got any idea what we are doing right because there are others that cant get this to work. Do you have Pocket Controller on your PC? Do you know is there something that needs to be set up to make the data connection work?
