Guest kingbing Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 So what's the update do? Does it mean that it will work with a phone that hasn't been updated yet? Or does it just improve things for the updated phones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kallisti Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 Umm, seconded, what the hell does this do exactly? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ClintEastman Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 So then Paul, what does Microsoft/Orange make of our little fellowship? What's there take on the freeware available here? What do they make of Florin? What were you actually doing at Microsoft? Demanding aren’t I!

Guest Paul [MVP] Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 It lets you use the SPV as a modem over USB. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gazza Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 So, how do we install this? I have tried to install new modem with the spv in the cradle but no luck. Help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 So then Paul, what does Microsoft/Orange make of our little fellowship?MS love it! O - who knows! What's there take on the freeware available here? MS like the freeware, they know it's important for the SPV to succeed. I know 1 MS guy was going to use Doom to demo the SPV at the GSM world Congress. O? Who knows! What do they make of Florin?I have no idea, although they are aware of him and his work. What were you actually doing at Microsoft? I was at the MVP summit (see other posts). P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ClintEastman Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 Thanks for the info Paul! :wink: I think i love you! And i would like to welcome all Microsoft bods! Hello, nice to meet you, keep up the good work! And i can't wait for OFS (the Holy Grail), glad to see your still going at it, (it's only taken the last 10 years!)

Guest benny Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 EDIT - got it working. First, right-click the file and choose "install" Install ithe phone (with the modem activated) as a normal USB device, and don't give it any drivers. It will appear in your device manager as an "unknown device". Right click on the unknown device, and choose properties, then reinstall drivers. Tell Windoze its a standard modem type, then look for Unknown modem. Tell it you've got a disk, and feed it that file. It then detects an HTC USB Modem, and allows you to install it. Bit of a weird way of doing things, but it seemed to work for me! B ANOTHER EDIT: Although Win2K recognises the device, its unable to use it, talk to it, or do anything else with it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pete1312 Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 Could someone please provide an "idiot-proof" step by step guide how to install this file (using Windows ME). Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 Turn on USB modem phone-side Plug it into the cradle New hardware wizard may pop up (if not Ctrl panel > search for new hardware) Chose the .inf you just downloaded when prompted. Follow the final steps Reboot. You _might_ even be able to just right click the .inf and click install if the wizard doesnt pop up, son't quote me on that though, I've not used ME since last summer...

Guest neilg Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 many thanks paul, not tried it yet as I use an Option Globetrotter for GPRS but I'll give it a go as I normally ise my USB cable to charge the SPV anyway (after the melting charger incident I dont like the mains anymore!)

Guest pete1312 Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 Thanks for trying Monolithix, but that didn't work. Wizard did not start automatically, so I manually went into Add New Hardware. Windows did not detect any new H/W, so I manually selected Modem from list. New Modem was not automatically detected, so I manually selected Add from list. Selected Standard Modem and clicked on have disk. Browsed to the downloaded usbmdm-5.inf file and clicked OK. It then just keeps going round in circles with the Have Disk and won't let me click Next to continue. Any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 Did you activate the USB modem on the phone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pete1312 Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 Yes. USB Modem Link was active Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kallisti Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 In XP, I'm not having any luck either. Simply doesn't detect the phone as new hardware... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kallisti Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 muude: Where does it appear in your computer management / device manager? Also, is there a Windows CE USB Devices section at the end with HTC USB Sync in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
