Using internet on Diamond while it's connected via Activesync?
 

My Diamond has never allowed me to use the internet when it's hooked to my PC. Is there any way to change this? When I set up Activesync i checked the option to "allow wireless something or other" but it made no difference.

Well you can connect through bluetooth to your computer and still access the internet if I remember right. :scratch:

Just to clarify

Your diamond does not allow you to use internet on your diamond or pc when connected to the pc?

Re: Using internet on Diamond while it's connected via Activesync?
 

use internet sharing app from the programs list for accessing internet from pc...

Re: Using internet on Diamond while it's connected via Activesync?
 

The phone cannot connect to the data services while connected via activesync. I have the same problem.

Connect activesync through bluetooth.

Re: Using internet on Diamond while it's connected via Activesync?
 

Yeah, that requires bluetooth on the computer. Being that a cable is provided with the phone, i think it would be easier to fix the problem than to dance around it.

you should be able to go into your activesync settings on your pc or phone and change it to allow data connection under settings when using activesync. try it and report back.

already tried that. Any other ideas?

Re: Using internet on Diamond while it's connected via Activesync?
 

in Mobile Device Center (or activesync) under connection settings click on "allow data connection on device when connected to PC". It has always worked for me (although I never use it)

Re: Using internet on Diamond while it's connected via Activesync?
 

I do have that checked. No luck. Although it does work sometimes, most of the time I have no data connection. I've never figured out why it works sometimes.

This works fine for me dont have problem using data while usb connected to pc

Re: Using internet on Diamond while it's connected via Activesync?
 

It was actually working the last time I flashed a new ROM, then that ROM ended up buggy so I reflashed and it's back to only allowing a data connection every once in a while when it's plugged in. Exact same settings all around. In fact sometimes I'll be surfing and it will suddenly say I don't have an internet connection. I can refresh all day long and get the same message. Unplug it and refresh once and internet is back. REALLY annoying.

RiNcOnNs, am I wrong when I say the opposite of you.

You can connect to internet via USB cable and Active Sync.
If I am wrong, correct me, please!

To solve this issue without downloading or using any extra piece of software:

1. Through Settings > All Settings > Connections > Connections
2. select Advanced > Select Networks > then choose My ISP as your internet communication method
3. choose New > enter any name you like then select a modem type "Hayes Compatible on COM1" or any option rather than Cellular GPRS, 3G.
4. the trick, just enter *99***2# in the required phone number as this is a Windows-based code to directly call a device for internet connection where you can replace the number 2 with any other number for multiple sharing internet connection with different devices at the same time.

Now everything may work just fine :)

Important notes:
-------------------
Make sure that:
1. in the "Network Connections" in Microsoft Windows XP or Vista you have a new icon of "Internet Connection" under Internet Gateway that appeared once you have connected your HTC in ActiveSync or WMDC 6.1 modes.

Hint:
you can use Internet Sharing application installed in HTC in order to create a new ISP connection profile instead of going through Connections option.

You are all experts, so I am possibly doing this wrong.
Anyway, I hope this note was helpful for you ;-)
