Internal Vario Modem Problems

[Guest plainz]

The problem is this:

I cannot get Vario II to connect to internet through internal wireless modem. There are 3 lights - connection, send data and receive data. None of them light up ever.

I had a previous vario II and it worked so I know my computer settings are correct. The APN is changed to general.t-mobile.uk so I don't know what is wrong.

I seem to remember the connection light would light up before connecting to computer somehow.

Any ideas anyone would be very grateful and don't want to send for repair again.

Connect your phone with ActiveSync loaded, it should connect. Wait for it to sync and finish.

Forcibly kill ActiveSync on your phone (use Switch from hfrmobile.com or similar task manager apps to achieve this - you can't kill AS just by going into Running Programs, you have to use one of these third party apps). Then, once AS is closed on your phone, you should hear the ActiveSync 'disconnect' sound (the descending dings). THEN, start up the Wireless Modem app, and Enable it from the right-hand softkey menu.

If it's the first time you've hooked up your device under these conditions, you should get the standard Windows XP new device notification, and it'll start looking for the HTC device drivers - supply the drivers (just a single .inf file, available from various places including xda-developers) it'll then install the device drivers for the HTC USB Modem. Create a new dial-up connection using that modem, specify the username and password as tmobile and one2one (although others seem to be using anything, like "username" and "password", I just use the same username and password for the sake of it) and your APN is already correct. Specify the number to dial as *99# and then it'll use the phone's internal data connection.

If you already have a data connection established (for push mail, for example) you'll have to disconnect them before you attempt to dial up via Windows - tap the hang-up key to disconnect the data connection. It may attempt to reconnect, just tap it again and it should stop and not attempt to reconnect (might have to do it twice, but it does work). THEN establish the data connection via your PC.

Those are the steps I've found to work for me. Best of luck! It IS worth it when you get it working ;)
