Hi,

Here's the scenario :

My phone : T616

Connectivity :

Serial Data Cable on COM2

Belkin Bluetooth adapter :
T616\Serial port configured on COM4 (this is the serial port service offered by the T616)
My Device\Serial port configured on COM5 (this is the serial port service offered by the Belkin Bluetooth adapter)
My Device\LAN Access Server

I am using Mobile Phone Monitor (that's what I get with the T616). All the above ports are appropriately enabled in the Phone Monitor. I have verified this by using XTNDConnectPC to sync using the serial cable as well as by "connecting" on COM4 (the T616 serial port). I have also tried using the modem in my cellphone and browsing on the laptop (after disconnecting the DSL connection) using the modem in the cell phone and ATTs GPRS data service. All that works fine.

Now here's what I want to do : I want to browse on the cellphone (not the laptop) *without* incurring data charges by the KB from ATT. I want to do this by using the internet connection on my PC from my cell phone. Obviously there are a couple of problems :

1. Where do I find a suitable HTML browser for the T616 ?

The internal WAP browser ends up using the ATT GPRS service and there is no way to configure it to use my cable or Bluetooth connection.

I have looked around and most of the browsers available for download (Opera, Doris Browser) require a P800 or better phone based on the Symbian OS. The T616 unfortunately does not fall in that category. Does anybody know of any suitable HTML browser for my phone (T616) ?

2. I have tried downloading the browser WebViewer to my phone and using that, but that is not free (I used a trial copy) and I cannot make it use my serial cable or Bluetooth either.

3. I do not understand how to establish TCP/IP connectivity between my cellphone and laptop such that the internet browsing will end up using my DSL connection. I have been able to connect the COM port but how do I ask the cell phone to use the connection over the COM port instead of the GPRS service from ATT ?

I read in some forum that this can be done on the Nokia using a software called M-Router (which ships for the Nokia phones). That will set up a bridge between the COM port connection and the internect connection.

My T616 uses the Mobile Phone Monitor (and not M-Router) I tried using Win XP "bridge connections" to do the same but I could not do it successfully.

I also read somewhere that I modify the parameters under Connect -> Data Comm -> (some account name) -> Edit -> IP Address to use my laptop as the gateway. I tried that too (I set my laptop's IP address as the IP address in the field). Again no luck.

I then called up ATT but they did not have a clue and redirected me to Sony Ericsson. SE's "tech support" guy told me he was very confused, asked me whether the browser I had downloaded was SE and when I said no he said he did not to support that. The guy was a clueless @#%&&%^@*.

Any ideas ? Has anybody done this successfully ever with the T616 ?? Since I've read that it can be done with Nokia phones and the M-Router software I am sure there must be a way to do it with the T616 too.

Does anybody here know how to configure an HTML browser in the phone to go over the COM port connection ? That's the million dollar question :-)

^Bump^ Interesting... I'd like to know aswell.

Sounds kewl if anyone knows how..

Well, I managed to do what I set out to do (using my PCs internet connection to browse on my T616). Here's how :

1. Install the J2ME SDK from Sony Ericsson. You can find it on the S.E. developers' site. This is slightly different from the one you will find on the Sun site, and you will need to use Sony Ericsson's version.

Now, here are some parameters you will need handy. Please replace the values with your appropriate ones.

Serial data cable to T616 connected on : COM1
The IP address of my PC : 192.168.0.100

1. In your cell phone, create a new data account called test.

This can be done by opening the menu in your T616 and going to Connect -> Data Comm -> Data Accounts -> New Account
Use the following parameters :
GPRS data
Name : test
APN : <leave blank>
User id : <leave blank>
Password : <leave blank>

Save this data account

2. Create a new WAP profile called test.

Connect -> Data Comm -> WAP Profiles -> New Profile
Use the following parameters :
Name : test
Connect using : select the data account called "test"
IP Address : 192.168.000.100 (replace this with the IP of your PC)
Save this profile

3. Activate this new WAP profile (select it as the default for all data transfers)

Connect -> Data Comm -> WAP Profiles -> Test

4. Connect your data cable.

5. Ensure that the correct COM port is enabled in the Sony Ericsson Phone Monitor. I have enabled COM1, you would need to enable your own COM port.

6. Start the Connection Proxy which is installed when you installed the Sony Ericsson J2ME SDK. I can find my Connection Proxy under : Start -> Programs -> Sony Ericsson -> J2ME SDK -> Connection Proxy.

7. Set your correct COM port in the connection proxy.
File->Settings->COM1
Baud Rate : 57600 [ you can push this up later after everything works]

8. Click on Connect. The status should change to :
"Connected on COM1 at 57600"
If this did not work, you've either got the wrong cable, got your port wrong, or the port is not enabled in the Mobile Phone Monitor.

9. Once the phone and PC are connected, start the Device Explorer which was installed with the Sony Ericsson J2ME SDK. I can find this under : Start -> Programs -> Sony Ericsson -> J2ME SDK -> Device Explorer.

It will automatically try to connect to your phone and after it is connected, you should see a tree structure listing the applications installed on your phone. If this cannot connect or times out, you've again got something wrong with the COM port.

10. Go to the file menu in the Device Explorer and enable the option called "Serial Networking".

11. Exit the Device explorer (because the serial n/w option does not take effect until you restart).

12. Restart the Device Explorer. Wait until you see the tree structure listing the applications on your phone.

13. You are now ready to test the TCP/IP connectivity between your phone and PC.
I have installed Webviewer [a Java based HTML browser for the T616].
You can find this at : http://www.reqwireless.com/download-webviewer.html

You will need to download the jad file as well as the jar file.

14. To install the webviewer application, after downloading these 2 files, place them in the same folder.

15. Go back to your Device Explorer.
File -> Install.

Browse to the folder and select the location of the jar as well as jad files. After entering both locations, click Install. The application should be uploaded to your phone. Once it is uploaded, it will appear in the list of installed apps in Device Explorer.

16. Select the app Webviewer->Webviewer. Right click and select Start. This will start the application in your phone. You will see the Java icon etc and then the webviewer app will appear.

17. Enter any reassonable URL such as http://www.google.com
Note that webviewer is a HTML browser and not a wap browser so you can go to any regular web site on your cell phone.

18. After entering the URL, you should see "Contacting server" at the bottom in the status bar.

19. You might then be prompted to allow web access. I get the options :
Allow Web Access
Ask Per Access
Deny Web Access

Select the option "Allow Web Access".

20. You should see the status "Waiting for Reply" followed by the status bar showing the download progress.

21. If the status bar is stuck at "Waiting for Reply", try clicking "Disconnect" followed "Connect" in the Connection Proxy. You will need to exit and restart the webviewer app if you disconnect.

22. If that does not help, try removing the cable, shutting off the phone, restarting the phone, and attaching the cable again. You will then need to restart the Connection Proxy followed by restarting the Device Explorer.

23. If you do see the Google home page, there is still one important thing. Make sure that you do not see the internet connection (GPRS data) icon at the top left of your cell phone. This icon looks like a globe symbol, and indicates that you are using your cell phone service provider's GPRS data service and therefore not using the serial cable and PC connection. If this happens, follow the instructions in the previous step #21

Hint : When the phone is exchanging data with the PC, the Connection Proxy will show green arrows to indicated data transfer. The in and out byte counts should also keep going up. If you are able to browse but do not see the green arrows and byte counts going up in the Connection proxy then you are somehow using your service provider's GPRS service and therefore paying for the airtime and/or data transfer by the KB. That is not what you want to do.

Now for the final toast : I was able to do the same over a Bluetooth connection between my phone and PC. Instead of the data cable, I connected over a serial port defined under the services published by the cell phone device. Make sure you select that COM port number in the Connection Proxy. Also ensure that Bluetooth has been enabled and the cell phone has been correctly paired with the PC. Everything else remains the same.

Have fun. It took me many weeks to get this working, since I had to figure out every step by trial and error.
If you are stuck and cannot get something to work, I might take a look (depending on how busy I am on that day). You can write to me at jamshedd@yahoo.com

Happy browsing.

Thats so cool but how do you find out your computers ip address?

Is it the client ip address when you choose status for the internet connection.

Thanks for such a great idea!!!

Posted by: MonsterOfArt

to find out your ip try going here http://www.chami.com/tips/internet/041498I.html

I have a few questions, I e-mailed jamshedd but he must be busy so mabay someone elsecould answer. Thanks.

1. Has anyone got a direct link to the J2ME SDK that you need because I'm not sure if I have the right thing?

2. Whats a COM port?

I only got down to number 4 so there may be more questions. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Posted by: penguin666

I had to register first but downloaded the latest Sony Ericsson J2ME SDK from here:

http://developer.sonyericsson.com/s...java/p_java.jsp

I don't really understand the com port stuff properly but it think its just so that the phone sends information to the computer at the same place where the software is looking for it.

I was using bluetooth for this and i don't have mobile phone monitor installed. All I did was, connect a serial port connection with the bluetooth device and the T610 and then opened up the connection proxy and chose the correct COM port (it told me which COM port when i connected the bluetooth).

Hope this helps!

This doesn't work for me...i don't have the WAP options on my current firmware. It's the original firmware installed on the phone when i got it about 6 mo's ago.

Posted by: jamshedd

My phone has the original firmware too, and it definitely has the WAP options.

Do this :

1. Go to the menu of your phone (press the joystick in the middle).

2. Go to the connect menu (found in the bottom left corner of the menu)

3. Inside the Connect Menu item, you will see multiple options such as

Bluetooth
Infrared Port
WAP Options
Synchronization

WAP is the third option. Select that.

Posted by: jayd4wg

okay...what i didn't have is the NEW WAP CONNECTION option. All i had was the AWS and AWS MMP, i changed the configs on AWS (eliminating the ability for me to use AWS mMode) just to try this...and stupid me forgot to write down the AWS IP addy. DOH!!!

Posted by: jayd4wg

I have successfully browsed Google over my phone...then the battery died LOL.

Now...the only things i can't seem to figure out is how to access WebViewer after it is in the phone. It worked the first time cus i was asked if i wanted to start the application now (on the phone) and I clicked "yup". also..the globe did appear the first time I connected...so I'm not entirely sure this worked...but nevertheless it was exciting

Posted by: jamshedd

Congratulations on getting it running.

You can start WebViewer as follows :

1. Go to the menu of your T616 (by pressing the joystick in the middle).

2. Go to "Entertainment". This is the 2nd row, third column. THis is where your games should be.

3. Select "Games and More"

4. You should see WebViewer listed.

5. Highlight it. Then press Start.

Note : The trial version of WebViewer has a limit on the number of times you can use it to browse in a single day. I think the number is 10 times. If you hit the cap, one work around is to go to the Sony Ericsson Device Manager and delete the application from your phone and then reinstall it. The disadvantage is that any settings including bookmarks, home page etc would be lost.

Happy browsing !

Posted by: jamshedd

FYI : The IP in the AWS MMS profile was blank.

You can restore the AWS WAP profile settings by going to the ATTWS website :

https://secure.mouse2mobile.com/cli.../wap/3phone.asp

[you might have to login with your account first]

Select your phone, enter your mobile number, and you will receive the settings on your cell phone similar to an SMS. This is called OTA (over the air) provisioning.

You will be prompted to save the settings on your phone, and you should choose yes. When asked to overwrite, select yes again.

Or call up ATTWS customer service and after 45 min of being on hold they will send you the settings and you will receive it on your phone.

hi.

i've followed the above instructions and couldnt get webviewer to load google.

if i start webviewer through the SE deviceexplorer and try to load a page, it gives me a "cannot connect to server" error.

if i start webviewer through the phone menus and try to load a page, it will ask me if i want to "allow access" to webviewer. once i press yes, it just gets stuck on "waiting for reply"

any clues..? ive tried shutting down and restarting numerous times already.

thanks.

Posted by: jamshedd

Try this :

1. Remove the data cable
2. Power off your phone
3. Exit Device Explorer
4. Exit the Connection Proxy
5. Reconnect the data cable
6. Power on the phone and wait until it has initialized completely (you should be able to browse the address book in your phone)
7. Start the connection proxy and connect to the phone.
8. Start the Device Explorer
9. Start the WebViewer application
10 Try going to google.com

For some reason, powering off the phone has usually helped.

If the above doesn't work then you've might have got your WAP profile not setup as required (see the previous posts).

Posted by: dav

Is there any downloadable WAP browsers for my phone? I just want to use my PC internet connection to go on WAP sites.

Posted by: snowjay

thanks for your reply jamshedd,

i actually am trying to get this to work via bluetooth since i dont have the data cable.

i can get it to connect to the device explorer and connection proxy just fine. installing webviewer via device explorer was no problem.

just wondering, is there anything else on the pc i need to enable besides "serial networking"? for instance internet connection sharing etc...

Posted by: jamshedd

Generally, if you've reached the "waiting for reply" stage, you're all set.

Try this - give the phone as long as it takes (maybe up to 5 minutes) until it times out and gives an exception on the phone.

Also, before you start the WebViewer application, bring the Connection Proxy to the foreground. The Connection Proxy has 2 arrows which are normally green, but will glow green when data is being transferred. Ideally, you should see some activity (green arrows on the Connection Proxy) just after you select "Allow Web Access" on the phone. You should then see it once again when the website returns data to the phone. Check this out and let me know if you see any activity (green arrows) at all.

If you do see activity, then it would just be an issue of time. Give it lots of time and the data should get returned to the phone.

Posted by: snowjay

the green arrows light up only when the phone first connects to the device explorer when the phone sends the midlet info to the pc.

no green arrows after i hit "allow web access"

Posted by: jamshedd

Let me get this again - the green arrow lights up for Device Explorer, but not for WebViewer. To me, that looks like the WAP profile and Data connection has not been setup correctly in your phone.

Verify that :

1. The IP address in the WAP profile is the IP of your PC (there is no typo)
2. The WAP profile is selected and active.
3. The WAP profile uses the correct data connection account (which you created).

Posted by: snowjay

starting to give up

i've tried pretty much everything i can think of.
im sure the ip is set right, but because i dont connect directly to the internet with my computer that might be the problem..

thanks for you help anyways

Posted by: jamshedd

Can you elaborate on that ? What do you mean when you say you don't connect to the internet directly ??

I've tried this myself on PCs which do not connect directly (a PC on the corporate LAN) and that worked fine too.

One of the things you can try is to enable internet connection sharing on your PCs LAN connection.

You're giving up too soon, it was a whole month of trial and error before this worked for me.

Posted by: snowjay

yes i mean i connect through my home network (802.11b router)

i'll try the internet connection sharing now..

Posted by: zummy

What is the point of surfing the web on a phone when you couldn't be more than 2 feet from the connected computer (if you're using a serial cable)?

The point other than the obvious coolness factor.

And tell me this, was the phone super fast? Or is the processor/video on the phone so slow that it still seems like a slow connection?

I did all steps listed above!!! But my T630 averytime says - "GPRS Error"

Wap-profile, PC's IP etc. i set correctly. What Wrong?

P.S. I connect pc and phone throu HP Bluetooth Tranciever over COM9<>USB BT

jamshedd,

May be it works only on T616 mobiles, so T630 can't "use this cool feature" ??

My PC in LAN has 192.168.1.47 (DHCP) and 192.168.1.3 default gateway

:

I did all steps wich you recommended. But always error.

green arrows are silence and always black when i trying to connect to http://www.google.com from my mobile

Maybe is it a big fake?

Greetings, I tried for a long while to get this to work on my T630 without any success. I eventually tried it on my sons T610 and it worked straight away. I suppose that either the instructions dont apply to the T630 or the feature does not work on that phone.

The command AT*SESSTCP which the feature uses is accepted by the phone and the phone explorer seems to work fine but networking I cannot get networking to work.

perhaps the port settings in sdkme.properties need to be altered but I have no idea how to find out any more.

My system is behind a NAT router with a firewall but that did not stop anything working on the T610.

I'm trying to figure it what's wrong ...

everyday.

You said that your T610 works and your T630 don't.... Maybe something with the phone then... I personaly have a T630 and I'm sick of trying to get this working

Posted by: joeatsalot

I haven't been able to get this to work with my T630 either. I wonder if some companies have an interest in people using airtime instead of free internet connections? Maybe the T630 had the capability removed.

Strangely, my phone can connect by GPRS even when I use the "Test" wap profile and data account, with all others deleted!! It's as if vodafone have some way of automatically providing me with data no matter what the APN or IP is set to on my phone.

Playing round with various options in the proper data accounts does have an effect. And deleting them all does stop the phone connecting. But if there is one data account and wap profile, no matter what settings they have, the phone can connect by GPRS (and not via the PC).

I am using IR instead of bluetooth or serial. Maybe that's relevant? But everything else works perfectly.

Hello fellow SE owners. I'm trying to get this to work with my Sony Ericsson T630 and Bluetooth USB. I'm very impressed with the Bluetooth connection, it is extremely reliable and fun to use.

Alright, here is a list of the software I used to attempt the mission:

Windows XP professional

j2sdk-1_4_2_05-windows-i586-p.exe (51.0mb)
semc_j2me_sdk_2_1_3_beta.zip (35.6mb)

I installed j2sdk first, as required, and then followed with installation of semc j2me sdk.

I carefully followed each step listed.

On failure, I reset all equipment as suggested, and carried out all the instructions. I also tried switching internet connection sharing on and off. I tried using the IP address 192.168.0.1 which is my computers address on my LAN, and I also tried using my computers internet IP address aswell.....which changes due to it being dynamic.

Following the proceedures in this thread, I have had No luck in getting my Sony Ericsson T630 to share my computers internet connection.

If anybody can help with the cause, please do not hesitate....I urge you to help me and the rest of your T630 friends.

Good Luck

cool stuff, i keep on getting application error whenever i try google.com

Posted by: King_of_ROM

I got a T610 converted to T630 and I can't get this working either. After entering a website in webviewer, I click allow and right after it says "GPRS Failed" and only appears for half a second and then disapears and it shows the waiting for reply... forever. The arrows in the connection proxy never move unless I use the device explorer.
So far no one's got this working on a T630, it might have something to do with the T630 firmware.

If anyone figures out a bypass, let me know.

Posted by: gulla

will this precedure work with a se t610 and a usb bluetooth adapter?

Posted by: ZzRicezZ

i got a few question.. did you upgrade to winxp SP2 yet? and if so does it still work? seems like SP2 got their own bluetooth stack and the problem with it is that I can't setup a PAN to my t637.. i can only send files to my phone but i can't browse it..

another questions is, i'm using a router to network my computers.. my router ip is 192.168.0.1 and my computer ip is 192.168.0.101..

should the ip on my phone be 192.168.0.101? and windows is not allowing me to share internet connection cause i'm using a router.. maybe i'm suppose to share internet with the Bluetooth setting but because of SP2 i don't have Bluetooth setting anymore..

SWEEEEEEEEET!! i got it to work on my K700!!!!!! ... although it took me a long time to figure it out.. but.. it was just one day.. its really cool.........

Posted by: hunkytoe

i got it working on my t637...u gotta keep on trying! Follow the directions to a tee cuz they work. Ironic that u cant visit pages that need javascript

Posted by: ksabid

It worked on my T637 via bluetooth, too.

Posted by: cbfreder

Me too. I think the key is to start it with SE Device Explorer. Which is fine by me.

But I still can't get it to work with the built in WAP browser. And I want to use it with WAP.

Brandon

Posted by: jamshedd

I have never tried to make this work with a WAP browser, but if I had to do it, I would suggest you try installing a WAP gateway on your PC first. This gateway will allow your cell phone to receive all web pages as WAP pages. There are a few free WAP gateways (I think).

Good luck, and please let us know if this works.

Posted by: sansom

Well now for something that would be really cool. If you have managed to access the internet via your PC via the serial cable, do you think you could also do it wirelessly through your PC via BlueTooth?

Posted by: jamshedd

I'ts not just possible, I've already done it. See my original post. At the end of the post I've mentioned that I've done the same thing with Bluetooth.

Posted by: jmeche3

anyone figure out how to do bluetooth browsing on using the internet connection from a mac yet?

guys i'm stuck with my k700i.

I don't know where to put my internet's ip. If someone figured it out on a k700, please be so kind to post what you did.

Thanks, thanks, thanks

I just succeeded in connecting to the internet fropm my t637 via bluetooth on my PC, following the directions. And I turned the speed up to full, at 921600.
I think a lot of you are trying to browse with the internal wap browser. I think the wap browser forces "true" GPRS connection, therefore you need to used Webviewer to view the webpages.
wap.yahoo.com works on the webviewer, small images, lots of info, plus you can check your yahoo email. Too bad it's got a page limit.

To find your COMPUTER IP, run command, type in ipconfig (win nt/2k/xp), or run winipcfg (win 9x/me). You are connecting to your computer not directly to the internet.

Will stuff like Agile Messenger work with this method? I REALLY want to use MSN from my phone without the GPRS fees.

I think it should work if the 'serial networking' does not limit what ports are used. But why use MSN from your phone if your computer is only a few meters away (bluetooth)? I guess you can use MSN while you are in the loo or watching tv.

I'm on the computer too much and my wrists sometimes ache a little. Don't want to go on the computer for long periods of time unless I really have to.

Posted by: mulder416

I've set this all up right, except that I'm running bluetooth. But it seems to use GPRS anyways, no matter what I do. The SDK connects to the phone over COM4 just fine. I also changed the DNS settings to point to my router, but it didn't work either way. Is there anything else I should do?

Posted by: WAK1

Got this to work on SEk750i also using normal usb cable provided with phone

Posted by: only_choice

WAK1, can you please provide me with the instruction on how to work it with a usb cable? I managed to connect my k750i to my pc and get the data running, but when i get to the step where I started the webviewer and entered a web address, it says error after showing "connecting to server". Help needed.

thanks

HELP AGAIN!!

when i try to install webviewer there is an "error in proxy comunication", and then a window appears: "Device Explorer detected a hanging connection proxy and closed it.... (you may change the timeout by altering the timeout.tool property in the sdkme properties file)"

why it happens??? i tried to change the timeout but i couldn't found it!!
any idea???

thanks wak1 4 the previous answer!

Posted by: ktula

I have a Sony Ericsson K608i. It took me a while but I think i got everything working to the point where if i try to access a website using the webviewer, the connect proxy will lose its connection. I had problem with the initial instruction on using the DeviceExplorer to install the webviewer. Everytime i tried to do that, the connection proxy would lose its connection. So i transferred the webviewer java files to my phone using bluetooth from my Powerbook.

These are the errors in the log file when the proxy connection loses its connection:

I can see packets being sent and received in the connection proxy before the connection is lost. I am starting the webviewer using the DeviceExplorer. If i try to start the webviewer on the phone, it will error out without even trying to send something to the connection proxy.

I am running version 2.2.3 of the Sony Ericsson SDK and version 1.4.2 of Sun Java SDK on windows XP professional with SP2.

WAK1, thx for the help, i also had my phone flashed into w800i and its working fine, maybe u need to redo the settings?

Posted by: ktula

These are the settings for my "Data Accounts".

APN: blank
Username: blank
Password: blank
Login request: off
Allow Calls: automatic (the othe option is "PS only")
IP Address: 192.168.0.107 (this is the PC i am connecting to)
DNS: 192.168.0.1 (this is my router)
Authentication: None
Data compression: off
Header Compr: off

In "Internet Settings" --> Internet profiles, i created a "test" profile with the following settings:
Connect using: test
Internet mode: http (the other option is WAP)
Use proxy: no

The rest of the settings are grayed out:
proxy address:
port number: (could be 80 or 8080)
username:
password:

Should i have changed the "use proxy" option to "on" and put in my PC's IP address in "proxy address" ? I think i have tried this setting but it did not even attempt to talk to the Proxy Connection.

as WKA1 was saying, you need to start Opera Mini from Device Explorer in order for the connection to work.

only_choice,

I have a K750i and I have done as per what you have written but to no avail. I get this error:

Temporary server error. Please try again later (error: 15.501.43:80/)

A point to note. I have a dynamic IP address.

PLease help!! I really wanna make this work on my mobile.

On my V600i phone:
Data accounts: only Test profile without any settings APN, IP, DNS etc.
Internet settings/Internet profiles/Test:
Connect using: Test
Internet mode: HTTP
Use proxy: Yes
Proxy address: IP address of your network gateway PC (ex.192.168.0.1) or the computer who shares the internet connection.

Hope these will work for you.
P.S. Connection Proxy ver. 2.2.0(R2A014), Device Explorer ver. 2.2.0(R2A014).

Opera Mini works great!!!

Posted by: sarmadgilani

You don't need to go through the mess of creating Data accounts on the phone at all.. as long as you open up Device Explorer, enable Serial Networking, and launch your java app (Opera Mini, etc) from there, then your phone will use the proxy connection through your PC. It doesn't matter what your data settings are on the phone. (If they mattered, then you wouldn't need to launch the app from the PC.) The reason it works is because when the app is launched from Device Explorer, it forces the phone to use the proxy connection that it provides. By itself, the phone doesn't know how to do that.

Posted by: PointZero

Cheers to that, this process works wonderfully on my SE Z520a. Opera Mini works great.

hello
i am unable to browse with w800i & opera mini browser.
i am able to connect to via connection proxy & then start opera using device explorer. but when i try to browse i get an error, "There was a problem connecting. There might be a problem with your network setup."

Somebody plzz help with this.

Posted by: akalias

Thank you for this information. i can confirm it works with my k750i under Windows Me using just the data-cable or even bluetooth.
If anyone wants to know how i set it up pm me

Thanks again, and this is the first time i have used operaMini. Didnt think it would be this good vut i would fully recommend it to anybody.
As for the connection, the speed is amazing!

Great job finding out about this method. Hats off to you

Got it all to work fine on my k750i using the ip of my computer and the dns provided by my broadband sp thing is it will only work if i open opera mini from the computer using device explorer i want to be able to access my email using the built in function (menu->messaging->email) but this trys to use the gprs connection is there anyway of getting around that

Posted by: akalias

You will need to use some java client so you can send it through the proxy or maybe you could just do it through opera. What type of email is it you're after? pop3 like outlook or just hotmail/yahoo.
The long way around would be to set up pop3 forwarding in your online email then log in to opera mini to fetch it?

Hope this helps somehow

pop3 fowarding is already set up on my gmail account is there a program that can use the proxy connection

Not that i know of but i will have a little play around tomorrow to see if opera or something can be configured to hit the serial connection straight from the phone.
I get what you mean it is annoying when you have to go back to the computer to start opera from there. maybe theres a script that can automatically start a function in a program when it dies.

I guess for now it's just gonna have2 be a case of using the pc application to start opera mini, then logging into your gmail account to get your pop3's

yeah but gmail doesnt come up that nice in opera is there a xhtml or smaller version or something like that

can someone tell me how to do this on a w900i via bluetooth? do i need to download a different browser to the phone? damn this is sooo confusing, maybe because im at work right now...

Posted by: maxiderm

....anyone?

Posted by: Psittacosis

download opera mini just search it in google then everything else is pretty straight foward you just need to find the serial com port and select it in the connection proxy once thats working just open opera mini in the device explorer(it wont work when started from the phone) and thats it

Posted by: if_co

Make a .bat file including this text:
C: 'The drive wher J2ME_SDk is installed.
J2ME_SDK\OnDeviceDebug\bin\ejava.exe start 5 65541 pause
J2ME_SDK\OnDeviceDebug\bin\ejava.exe start 5 65541 pause

Save the .bat. In Windows create shortcut to it and assign a hotkey for launching. Create HID file and assign this hotkey to one of the ME buttons. Upload the created HID file to phone. Then you can remotely start Opera mini and browse the web through BT COM.

Note: The numbers 5 and 65541 are specific and must be extracted from the phone using one of the options in ejava (ejava.exe -h).

Posted by: maxiderm

i tried what you just said and im ALMOST THERE! but when i press 1 on my phone (the key asigned to start that .bat file remotley) a black box comes up on my comp screen and flashes really fast. i must have messed up the .bat file? i dont know what do you think?

ps thanks for the help, really appreciate it

Posted by: if_co

Start the bat from your PC using command prompt. You'll see the responses from the program and the phone. Hope this will help you.

Posted by: if_co

Additionally you could make BAT for stopping the connection. Write inside it: 'taskkill /F /IM serialproxy.exe' only. Tested and works 100%. Good Luck!

HALLELUYAH!

I spent ages on this, as my menu options are different to that of the T616...

I have "Internet Settings" and "Data Transfer Settings"...

But its all the same with a bit of common sense...

Neway, i have (confusingly enuf) connected to my home server, through my home internet connection, through my phone, via bluetooth... (?)

Thanks for the instructions...

good luck to anyone else trying this....

the best thing for me is that i can now use java apps that normally connect to GPRS at 20p/minute, for absolutely NOWT!

neway... beby.

Oh, and by the way... because www.reqwireless.com is discontinued... i used "Opera Mini"... Its free and its java interface is very friendly... heres a link -

Ok so how do you get a palm to dial an ISP through bluetooth and a T637?? What I want to do is use the t637 as a modem for my palm t3 basically.

I think a lot of you are trying to browse with the internal wap browser. I think the wap browser forces "true" GPRS connection, therefore you need to used Webviewer to view the webpages.
wap.yahoo.com works on the webviewer, small images, lots of info, plus you can check your yahoo email. Too bad it's got a page limit.

To find your COMPUTER IP, run command, type in ipconfig (win nt/2k/xp), or run winipcfg (win 9x/me). You are connecting to your computer not directly to the internet.

Saw this post (and similar related) from about a year ago on using your phone to browse via your PC internet connection. Has anyone been able to work this out on a RAZR v3 yet? Trying now to do this with Bluetooth PC dongle LAN service and also plan to try with USB cable.

Any RAZR experience with this appreciated!

hi,

sorry to jump on the bandwagon so late, but i got my k750i working.

HOWEVER, since i always have to connect through the se DEVICE explorer, is there a way to create a connection that persist through, so when i open up any app from my phone it can connect to it?

i was looking at some posts, and apparently, i don't even have to set up any data connections on my phone?!?!

thanks guys

Posted by: jonas_mam

can someone put k600i configs? i try all the configs and i can't acess WEB via com port
with/without BT

Posted by: if_co

There's nothing special. The things are not such complicated as tney seem. You must have correctly installed Java SDK from Sun and SEMC Java SDK from SE on your PC. Then start Connection proxy using correct COM port. Start Device Explorer and check option Serial Networking. Restart both applications in succeed order. Start Opera Mini from Device Explorer. When it starts on the phone, enter some address, e.g. www.google.com. It must works. If not try another link. THERE IS NOT SPECIAL SETTINGS TO ENTER in the phone, leave it as it is. If you start through Device Explorer, it takes the connection and phone settings doesn't matter. All these are valid assume you have good and working connection to Internet on your PC.

Posted by: jonas_mam

can someone send me the .bat file and the .lnk file to automate this process?

Posted by: jonas_mam

i dont need it anymore tanks anyway

Posted by: cheesygit182

youll never believe me, but im sending this reply from my K608i!

Posted by: cheesygit182

Hi everyone who has been trying this unsuccessfully.
I have a K608i connected to my pc via bluetooth, set as COM Port 1. I have realised (with the help of a few posts on this topic) that you do not need to change ANY settings in the phone at all... All you need is to start Opera Mini from SE Device Explorer and it automatically connects via your PC.
These instructions are hopefully foolproof, and should set aside any questions.

1. Make certain that you have a working bluetooth/serial cable connection between the phone and the pc. If you can, set the connected phone as COM Port 1.

2. Download and install the Sony Ericsson SDK from this link. Make sure it installs properly, and you will probably need the Java J2EE SDK for it to install...
Once it is installed, start SE DE (the Sony Ericsson Device Explorer, from the start menu). If it connects successfully, it should show you all the java apps on your phone. Click file, then "Serial Networking" to enable the proxy.

3. Download Opera Mini from this link. Install it on your phone using Device Explorer, once installed it should show the app in the left panel of Device Explorer. Double click it in the left panel. This should start Opera Mini on your phone. Once it has started, press the joystick to test your connection... Obviously, if it says you have a working connection, whoopee! You can now use Opera Mini seamlessly. If it says you don't, you don't. (not very helpful am i)(look below for answers)

4. Surf the net in teenyweeny size!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Troubleshooting:

Firstly, work out where you are having problems...
1. If you have trouble connecting your phone as COM Port 1, good luck. It varies greatly from software to software. If you have Windigo drivers, like me, then you can look at the help on the windigo website.
If you have the windows xp sp2 drivers, then you cant set the phone as a COM Port. Dont worry though, Device Explorer should still work...
Anything else, just try their website/help files...

2. If you have problems with the installation/download of SE SDK, you probably dont have the correct version of Java installed. Make *certain* that you have downloaded and installed the J2EE SDK *first*, then install the SE software. If you still cant get Device Explorer to connect successfully, try reinstalling both. If youre still having problems, post back with your problem and I'll try and help...

3. Opera Mini. Before I even begin, I must stress that *You MUST start Opera Mini from SE Device Explorer* for this to work... After starting it, you can close SE DE, as long as you started the app from SE DE... This is because SE DE sets up the proxy when you start the app...
Now, if you are still getting a connection error in Opera Mini, there must be another reason. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the jar file on your phone, then restarting it from SE DE... If you are still having problems connecting, I dont know any other reasons why, but use your common sense and work out why. If you have trouble *using* Opera Mini, not *connecting*, then there is good help here.

Any other questions will be gladly *thought about* by me lol...

P.S. Sorry for writing a HUGE post, but i got completely carried away lol.

OMG thank u it worked and now im posting this on my w900i! your info was the only way i could figure it out. make this a sticky!

Posted by: cheesygit182

Great that it worked for you... I had previously managed it using the original instructions, but they weren't really compatible with all models, and they were quite complicated... But thanks to 'if_co' i realised it didnt need to be complicated at all as long as you start opera mini from Device Explorer... Neway, i do hope this becomes a sticky, as it is quite simple, and very useful... The only limit is the 10m Bluetooth range... I found Opera Mini very easy to work with, too... It has great support for hi-res pictures, and the way it compresses a page BEFORE loading the data in your phone is quite impressive...

When it starts on the phone, enter some address, e.g. www.google.com. It must works. If not try another link. THERE IS NOT SPECIAL SETTINGS TO ENTER in the phone, leave it as it is. If you start through Device Explorer, it takes the connection and phone settings doesn't matter. All these are valid assume you have good and working connection to Internet on your PC.

ah crap, now i cant get it to work! it was working well until i walked out of range and it lost the connection. now everytime i try to connect back, it does everything through device explorer (like connect to my phone via port COM6) and shows bytes being recieved and sent so when i click start on mini opera it opens on the phone and i push down on the "joystick" (on the w900 its a button) and it gives me an error! now everytime i try it says "you do not have a working connection. please visit (website) with your desktop browser for instructions. Error 3.0.10:80/" please help!

Posted by: cheesygit182

I know this all sounds obvious, but just a quick checklist:
1. Restart your mobile phone.
2. Quit any programs open on your PC,
(and also dis/reconnect your bluetooth dongle if this applies)
and restart Device Explorer...
3. *Make sure 'serial networking' is enabled in the file menu*
4. Checking that there are bytes transferred both ways, right-click Opera Mini, and click delete. Then reinstall it from DE, still not touching your phone. Then start opera mini in DE...
5. On your phone, in opera mini, go to the connection tester, and it should work...

If it still doesnt work, then all i can suggest is that SE Device Explorer isnt functioning correctly, as it isnt setting up the proxy like it should... Try reinstalling it.... (a bit drastic, but you never know...)

thanks i will try all of those when i go to work today. ill tell you how it works out.

damn now i get an error that tell me "cannot open registry key: SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Enviornment\Current Version" help@@@!!!!!!

Posted by: RavCo

I'm able to start the browser from the Device Explorer, but onces Opra starts and I attempt to go to a web site, it askes me to select a Data Account. Rogers begin the only Data Account on my phone, will selecting it still incur Data Chargers?

Posted by: maxiderm

^ try it and look at your bandwidth through the connection proxy on SDK. if you access a page and you see the data going in and out and the pages load quickly on your phone, then its probably going through bluetooth. if no data goes in or out and loading pages is really slow, then its probably not going through and using up your data charges and you just wasted almost $ .50

Posted by: RavCo

Got it working great. My PCs bandwidth indicates when I'm browsing the net via bluetooth. Now I have no reason to leave my couch.

high five for lazyness!!!!

Posted by: Andre_44

can anyone confirm whether using a wap gateway running on the PC Will allow browsing of WAP Sites? the ability to connect with an http browser is nice, but ultimately useless when trying to download most content. for example sonyericsson.com's fun & downloads section requires connecting using the wap browser to download content.

Posted by: cheesygit182

Andre_44,

Im guessing that you are trying to browse wml (WAP) sites using opera mini?

If this is the case, then you must remember that Opera Mini is an HTML browser, designed to enable you to view HTML
(the standard format of normal websites, like this one)
sites on your mobile phone. Therefore it doesn't understand wml sites...
(Wireless Markup Language - designed as a simple alternative to HTML, that could be read on mobile phones)

If you want to view WAP sites for free via your internet connection, then you need a program other than Opera Mini... I can't think of any off the top of my head, but search around for "J2ME wap browser" or something of the sort, and you should find a program that you can send to your mobile and start via SE.DE...

If you can't find anything to suit, then you'll just have to stick to html browsing with Opera Mini...

Alternatively, you could download WMLbrowser for firefox... This allows you to view WAP pages from your PC at least... But that kinda defeats the point of this topic!

I think if you view google through Opera Mini on your mobile, it has a "Mobile Website search" or something... I don't know what it is really but its worth a try...

Good Luck, cheesygit182

P.S - Did i completely miss the point of your post? I have a feeling i've just spent twenty minutes answering a question that was never asked lol!

P.P.S - Maxiderm, did you ever find out what caused that registry-related error? If so, did you fix it, or was it luck? Either way, please post an explanation in case anybody else encounters the same...

There is no reason why it shouldn't work with the k750i... Im sure it has been done before.

Posted by: cheesygit182

If i understand you right, youre paying for some kind of service from t-mobile?
You certainly shouldn't have to...
Accessing the internet on your mobile via your internet connection doesn't have anything to do with your service provider - t-mobile...
It is just taking advantage of free software produced by sony ericsson.

reply with details... cheesygit182.

I spent a long time to connect T630 and browse, but with no success. With T610 there were no problems. So I flash T630 phone with GDFS area from T610. And I've got it work. There must be some bug in original T630 GDFS, which does not allow using serial networking. Note: after flashing with T610 GDFS, make full master reset. Now I'm happily browse the net via Opera Mini on my T630!

Has anyone tried this on a phone other than a T616? I wonder if this will work with an W810i?

I have installed everything on both my computers (desktop & laptop) with WinXP SP2. I managed to connect the phone (k750) to the Device Explorer without problems > I started OperaMini from Device Explorer (have checked also the "serial networking"). When I am in Opera and I check for connection settings in Help>Introduction>"...Pres the joystick..." is saying I have an active working connection. But right after that when I am trying a link (any, doesn't matter) the Device Explorer gives an error and is closing the Connection Proxy.

Most strangely is that is doing this thing on both my computers.

Any suggestions?

And the log file here: error.log

Sorry mate, i don't do macs.
I have no idea how the OS works.
And i am quite happy to be ignorant about it lol.
All i can say is this: If you can connect your mobile to your mac by usb or bluetooth, and you can get the sony ericsson sdk to run, it IS possible.

If you don't know how to connect your mobile to your mac, I can't help you.
(i wonder if there is a version of the SE SDK that will run on a mac?)

Anyhoo, please reply with any info you can think of that would be relevant...
If you can use a PC or a MAC, maybe you can translate (lol you know what i mean

4) Quote:"I managed to connect the phone (k750) to the Device Explorer without problems" what exactly do you mean by this? Did you install Opera mini via SE DE?

Sorry to be rude, but have you actually read this thread?
There are many people who have succeeded with different models, its just that the T616 is very popular... I got it to work on the K600/8, and many have managed it with the "W" series. Give it a go and see if you can do it! Then others can follow suit.

Great! just out of interest, how different is the T630 to the T610?
You seem to know a lot, how exactly does the serial networking part work?

Dang, I'm a pretty decent network tech when it comes to computers, but I don't know about this whole cell phone thing. If anyone can help with bluetooth + K790a that would be great, I've easily gotten the Connection Proxy and Device Exlporer connected. I'm just not sure what else I need to do. BTW, I don't seem to be able to download webviewer from the provided link on teh first page of the thread, so I've been trying to use the built in browser. If anyone can help me out with this, especially if you've got a k790/800 that'd be most sweet.

Thanks cheese, that worked wonderfully. Now to figure out why opera mini doesn't let you work in landscape mode... =(...

Posted by: cheesygit182

Im glad you got it working... Ive never even heard of the K790 lol

Yeh, i see your point... Opera mini is great in many ways, and its free! but there are many things they could do to improve it, even really simple things.

But as far as it goes, opera mini has an amazing compression method - it processes the actual website on its own servers, and sends you a smaller, compressed version of the website. So every time you use opera mini, the Opera servers are being used... Theyll probably improve it, and start charging for it... Shame if they do, cos its a great tool.

Landscape viewing would be great tho, cos the main problem with html websites on a mobile phone is size. As OM does it, its not bad. Most sites show up ok. But many sites would appear so much better if you could turn your mob round.
Maybe ill send their devs an email suggesting it

Sorry, Thats normal.
Thats a big downside of this thing. You have to run SE DE before you can get any sort of TCP/IP connection between your mobile and your PC.

If anyone knows of any way round this, it would be greatly appreciated...

Save the .bat. In Windows create shortcut to it and assign a hotkey for launching. Create HID file and assign this hotkey to one of the ME buttons. Upload the created HID file to phone. Then you can remotely start Opera mini and browse the web through BT COM.

Note: The numbers 5 and 65541 are specific and must be extracted from the phone using one of the options in ejava (ejava.exe -h).

worked great man, thx for the tip, now i can start operamini with the remotecontroll button on my server =D

i've connected my se v600i with the usb cable to my computer. the connection proxy can connect to my phone, and i can see the installed software on my phone with the device explorer. but i cant install opera with DE. i get the progress bar, and when it's allmost at a half, i get the message: error in proxy communication. please try to disconnect blablabla... at the same time the connection proxy gets disconnected. then i press OK on the error message, it tries to connect in the connection proxy, and then i get this message: device explorer detected a hanging connection proxy and closed it.
when I press OK again, I get the message: could not connect to serial proxy/handset.
after that the connection proxy doesn't want to connect any more, so i need to restart the phone.

when i copy opera with the SE File Manager to the phone, i can install it and it shows up in the device explorer. I can start Opera in the device manager. but opera doesn't want to connect to the internet. and most of the times i tried it, it shows the same errors as when i try to install something over the device manager.

what can be the problem? i have enabled serial networking, and it just doesn't want to work whatever i try.

I can't get this to work on my W810i either. I am able to connect with 'Connection Proxy' and install and run Opera with 'Device Explorer', but no internet connection seems to be made.

I've tried creating blank data/internet profiles with/and without my IP address. I've tried deleting all profiles, but nothing works.

EDIT: I restarted my phone. Also I changed by baud rate to 57600, and now it works. One of these did the trick. Note I still don't have any internet/data profiles, so they really aren't needed for this.

@BeerBro - Something with windows firewall i suggest. Check serialproxy.exe is in the list of allowed programs. Another possible reason is the settings of Connection proxy. Try altering the timeout values. I had some troubles as there were over 60 java apps in the phone. I delete some of them and solve the problem both with timeout settings.
