Hi,

I've been searching around but can't seem to find a solution on how to setup a internet connection for my x50v.
I have a mobile phone Nokia 6500 with 3G internet connection enabled (Virgin Mobile - Australia). I would like to connect from my Axim to my phone via BT, and use the Internet from my phone. Is that possible without entering the dialup number, etc.? I don't have a dialup number or any details on how to setup such internet connection, I only got Virgin Mobile to setup my phone automatically.
If not, is there any software form my Axim that could use the phone as a 'access point'?

Thanks,
Jerry

You will have to pair the phone with the ax, BT bluetooth and use DUN, dial up networking. using the pone for an access point(assuming you mean wifi) doesn't work. You need to do the whole setting up a number and accessing your GSM accont via BT through your phone. Your phone is a BT DUN modem not a wireless modem. to save money, check out Virgins data plans!

Thanks for your reply. I have been trying to setup the Dial Up Networking on my Axim for the Virgin Mobile 3G internet, but can't get it working.
Does anyone know what number to dial and all the other parameters that I need, to use the 3G internet? I currently am subscribed to the Virgin Mobile Data Plan with 50MB download/upload limit (just enough to read my emails).

I don't know the specifics for your network, but the number will be something like
*99#
then you will need the
extra dialing string.

You may find these on your network website, or you could call them and ask, or try googling for it.

      

Be warned! Since the bluetooth version on the Axim is 1.2 you will experience significantly lower connection speeds on the Axim than those you experience on your Nokia.

I tether my x51v to my LG Fusic (CDMA EVDOx1) with Sprint. The phone gets ~ 1.5 Mb/s and the Axim gets ~ 450Kb/s.

Hi.

Have you tried this:

Start your registry editor and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Comm
\RasBook\“Connection”\DevCfg, where “Connection” is the name of the
connection to your 3G mobile phone.

Scroll down until you find the name of your connection

@step 4

Locate the data connection speed

Tap DevCfg and you will see rows of data. The information you are
interested in is the 3 bytes that define the connection speed. As the
baud rate was preset to 115200 bps in Step 1, this information will
be stored as 00 C2 01 . Scroll down until you see this data
sequence on your screen.

115200 bps is stored in the registry as 00 C2 01

EDIT:
256000 bps =3E800 -> 00.e8.03
384000 bps =5DC00 -> 00.dc.05
460800 bps =70800 -> 00.08.07
921600 bps =E1000 -> 00.10.0e



@step 5

Editing the registry

You need to change the value of 00 C2 01 to suit your preferences.
The speed you select should be faster than the speed of your cellular
connection. If you use a UMTS 3G mobile phone, set your speed to
460800 bps by replacing the sequence with 00 08 07. If your device
uses EDGE, then a speed of 256000 bps is appropriate, so type in 00
E8 03 .


Replace the data with a new sequence in order to increase connection
speeds



@step 6

Faster connection speeds

Select ‘Done’ to save the changes to the registry. If you have a
Windows Mobile 5.0 PDA, switch off your device and wait for about a
minute so that the new registry values can flush into persistent
memory. This is not necessary with Windows Mobile 2003 devices.
Finally, perform a soft reset. You should now enjoy faster connection
speeds.

I tried the registry hack you provided but it isn't working.
But that's probably because I'm using the Broadcom stack.
