Thought this would make a good thread for everyone with the XV6700 and decided to post it to one thread. Thanks "carteriii" for pointing out some of this info to me.

THis is for a XV6700:

1)
1. Go to the PHONE application
2. Dial ##3328873 Press Send
3. enter code 000000
4. Select BT DUN and Wmodem
5. Click Edit
6. Choose enable
7. Push Save / OK
8. Push Ok
9. Follow the prompt to restart your device

2) On your PHONE, use the file explorer and go to your WINDOWS folder. IMPORTANT-->**Use the menu and check "show all files"** At the bottom (past all the folders) there are 2 files called WMmodem. Choose the larger size file and click to copy it.

3) Using the file explorer ON YOUR PHONE AGAIN, go to windows-> Program files and click to paste the file in this folder. DO A SOFT RESET! You now have easy access to your Winmodem.exe file under start menu-> Programs. Once you have done this, you can choose at a later time to put the file in your start menu for even easier access.

You are now ready to go on the pda side of things. Now you must set up your computer.

1) The files you need are on your cd rom that came with your phone, not the wireless sync disc, the other one! Put it in your cd rom drive and use your PC window exporer to explore the cd and follow this path. OEM->APPS->Drivers->CDMA USB Modem. Here you will find instructions on how to set up and dial up once your done, as well as the 2 key files you will need on your computer.

2) Take the 2 files "CDMA USB Modem Dialer.exe" & "CDMA USB Modem.INF" and copy them. Go to your C: drive and create a folder, I named mine "CDMA USB Modem". Inside that folder, paste the 2 files you just copied.

3) Make a copy of the CDMA USB Modem Dialer.exe and place it on your PC desk top. This is what you will click on to dial up, when you are ready to go online!

4) Take the 3rd file named "CDMA USB Modem Usage.doc" and save it somewhere for easy access.

You are now ready to go. I don't have my blue tooth usb yet, so I am using the cable. READ THE 3RD FILE MENTIONED ABOVE FOR EXACT INSTRUCTIONS on anything that I did not cover here. I simply wrote here what Verizon did not do.

A couple of things, AND THESE WERE KEY TO GETTING UP AND RUNNING! Right click on your active sync icon in your task bar and go to connection settings. Uncheck the box that says "Allow USB Connections". Close.

If you use wireless sync like me, or are connected to any data service, you must FIRST disconnect from the data connection. To do this, push and hold the red phone symbol on the front of your phone. It is the phone button that you push to hang up from a call. Make sure and do this after you have opened the Wmodem program on your PDA and are ready to go, otherwise your phone might reconnect before you get everything ready.

You still will need to connect your phone to the computer and go through a few more steps. Follow instructions on the Wmodem screen, and in the set up file mentioned above and you will be off!

I hope that this will simplify things for people looking to do what Verizon should already be doing. If I have missed something, let me know and I will add it in.

The only difference is you need to browse the PPC with your computer to find the hidden WModem.exe in the /Windows folder, move WModem.exe from the PPC & remove the hidden, system, and read-only attribs, then copy it back to the PPC.

1. Go to the PHONE application
2. ##3328873
3. enter code 000000
4. Select BT DUN
5. Click Edit
6. Choose enable
7. Push Save / OK
8. Push Ok
9. follow the prompt to restart your device

restart, discover services, and voila! you've got bluetooth DUN available.

(you'll see the WModem option as well... this is another thread topic but enabling this will ease the use of WModem.exe in a way I'll describe soon)

Later I'll post/repost some other things i've figured out on this phone as follows.

1. A reliable way to get wmodem working for USB (and a better shortcut file)
2. The fix to get wifi and the phone working at the same time
3. a better way to get the clock working

I plan on putting together these updates as cab files for easy installation.

Finally, a request: I'm looking for a way to setup my phone to not take voice calls when in a data call initiated via either usb or bluetoth. or, a way to set up this preference in general. Any advice?

Good Luck and thanks to all the regulars for the valuable advice,

Zam

Will they know we are tethering if we don't pay the tethering fee?

Posted by: CCREW

Standard disclaimers apply, I've successfully tested this here between a day old 6700 and a Toshiba Qosmio G25 laptop. Laptop detects the phone as a standard 33.6 baud modem but handshakes at 112k. I haven't tested actual througput speeds but have verified it connects. I'm on a 1xRTT at home so if someone could test on EVDO I'd appreciate.

1. Go to the PHONE application
2. Dial ##3328873 Press Send
3. enter code 000000
4. Select BT DUN
5. Click Edit
6. Choose enable
7. Push Save / OK
8. Push Ok
9. Follow the prompt to restart your device

I'm delving into some other things as well, here's a dump of the Verizon xv6700 Extended ROM for those of you that are like me and may want to chance turning your new toy into a expensive paperweight :-)

I'll add to this as I find new things.. I've actually figured out how to install a complete BT Stack on the device and get printer and audio streaming also, but it's causing MS Voice Command to crash on reset and button actuation. That's the next item on attack list tho..

The BT fix is for the native stack and will work with nothing more than the instructions, so no fancy hacks.

Posted by: CCREW

In dealing with the wModem pieces, has anyone played yet with /hklm/software/oem/wmodem/ keys? Rather than all the copies/attributes that I see in some of these threads it looks like they're using the keys to disable the app and disable the serial interface. No point in chasing something that's already been tried and I've missed the thread. (a distinct possibility) Both DUN and serial are set to 0 value by default.

-Roger

Edit: Ok, little deeper. Initiating EPST via the dial codes above and enabling wmodem in the same screens you enable bluetooth toggles the HideSerial and Multi-Nai values to 0x1 (1) under /hklm/software/oem/wmodem/ wModemDUN stays disabled. Enabling it via registry does not initiate hardware connection across the USB link .. yet.

-Roger

Posted by: CCREW

Ok, looks like all the convolutions/copying/setting attributes aren't truly necessary, although they are functional at the moment.

Using EPST as in setting up Bluetooth and enabling wModem toggles two of the three necessary registry keys. The third, under /hklm/software/oem/wmodem/ is wModemDUN and you can set that to 1

Soft Reset the device
Using Total Commander, in the /windows directory you will have three files. wmodem.exe, wmodem.htm which is the help file for wmodem, and wmodem.lnk, which is a shortcut file to wmodem. You can copy the shortcut file to /windows/start menu/programs and you'll have a link in your Programs screen.

Launching that link you'll be offered three ways to connect. USB, Bluetooth, or irda. Selecting USB while connected (first) stops Activesync, initiates the phone, and a USB device will become active via PnP. This is where I'm stuck. None of the inf files in any of the published hacks properly detect the device. So if any of the Sprint guys have their CD handy, it may be on there with the dialer program that's supposed to be on that CD. Otherwise we're close to having this work as intended by HTC from what I see. Just because the file is hidden/system doesn't mean it can't be executed, so the attribute switches aren't truly needed as you can still execute a file as long as it's called directly..

hrm, you just need the CDMA modem drivers....I've been using the ones from the 6600 and they work fine.....

Posted by: iDennis

This works great. Typing this on my laptop and the VX6700 is on the counter..

this is what I did

1. Go to the PHONE application
2. typed in ##3328873
3. then hit send
4. screen pops up with a Please Enter Unlock Code and a white box
5. enter code 000000
6. new window pops up Named "ESPT"
7. There are two options that read diabled Enable WModem and BT DUN
8. Highlight the the first item then click edit on the bottom
9 Choose enable
10 Hlight the the second item BT DUN then click edit on the bottom
11. Choose enable
7. Push Save / OK
8. Push Ok
9. follow the prompt to restart your device

after your VX7600 restarts launch "My Bluetooth Places" on your laptop
then turn on blue tooth on your vx6700 by clicking Start / Settings / Connetions / Bluetooth/ check off Turn on Blue tooth and make my device discoverable

then click discover service in the my bluetooth place on your laptop pair the devices together.when done. The laptop will say found new device Dial Up Netwoking on BT Device.

drivers are there in Win XP I did not load any drivers to do this

Click connect

put in phonenumber@vzw3g.com for user name
then vzw for the password
and #777 in the dial box.

then clcik for all users.

then click remember setting and connect.

this is on my Win XP SP2 Laptop

did not do anything else except what is lised above to connect,,

once connected I did go in and do this on the VX6700

under /hklm/software/oem/wmodem/ wModemDUN I set that from 0 to 1

did not restart the unit or laptop. Jumped on here and started typing these instructions.

thanks to the above posters for show us the way

Thanks
DP

you can get the CDMA modem drivers from many places.......just search for 6600 wmodem on google and I think that will do the trick.....thats what I've done and I've used the phone of USB plenty of times already.

for all the non-hacker users, just go to pdaphonehome.com under the xv6700/ppc6700 forum to get a cab file that will do all this and more for you!

Cab file or no cab, this doesn't look as complicated as it's been made out to be. I'm just looking to restore the phione to it's "proper" intended functionality without a lot of convolutions. Proper use should just be:

Installation:
Follow dialer instructions above to enable BT and wModem.
Unzip the contents of the download from this page into a folder on your computer Dialer
Turn on 6700
Start 6700 and run 'WModem', (directions for creating program link in my post above) select USB, press 'start'
Plug in cable to 6700 and USB end to laptop (or sit the 6700 in its cradle and plug the USB end to laptop)
When Windows asks for a driver, point it at the directory where CDMA1X_USBMDM.INF is located

Running:
Turn on 6700
Run 'WModem', select USB, press 'start'
Plug in cable to 6700 and USB end to laptop (or sit the 6700 in its cradle and plug the USB end to laptop)
On laptop run 'CDMA_USBModem_Dialer'
Enter the username/password
dial #777

For Verizon Wireless username is phonenumber@vzw3g.com, password vzw.

ActiveSync will work normally when WModem is not started.

I have a tendency not to try to reinvent procedures and inject unnecessary steps into solutions, and between the changing attributes on files, running apps to kill activesync, they're all just not truly needed. Instructions above are actually straight from Telus's support site, (except for dialer enable) so that was the functionality I was looking to achieve..

Idennis.. are you seeing that /hklm/software/oem/wmodem/wmodemDUN key change back to 0 after a soft reset? I am here...

Putting the two pound (#) signs in before the #?

yep.. i think its because i got rid of all the verizon crap that loads up when you do a hard reset.

There's actually not that much crap loaded with the VZ version, it's not like the Sprint version. Provisioning info and the MMS client basically.

I followed the instructions to enable Bluetooth DUN many times. I was able to get to the menu and turn Bluetooth DUN on, it asks me to push ok to reboot the device, I do that. Then I try and discover services on my notebook, and I don't get a DUN profile. I did at one point, but it disappeared now. It also seems that OPP just disappeared as well, so the only profile available is Voice Gateway. I have reset my PC and my PPC many times, it does not seem to help. I can use the bluetooth services on my Verizon V710, including DUN without any problems. I am using the Broadcom Bluetooth stack on my Notebook (HP ZD8000). Any ideas?

Posted by: jimbo333

I was able to get OPP back, I had disabled the option in "beam" settings. That was a dumb mistake. I still can't get the DUN profile to work, despite following the directions exactly many times over. Is anyone else having problems? Do I maybe have a new(er) software that does not support this, my ROM version is 1.05.00 WWE? The Programming menu shows that BT DUN is enabled, but the profile does not appear on my PC.

Posted by: Playdeep

correct me if i am wrong here gents (and since i have not performed this operation on my phone). they dont charge you for this bc you are bypassing paid tethering right? i mean why would we be going to all the trouble of hacking it if we werent getting free tethering? i wouldnt think it would be using minutes but reather data...so i would think you would want to unlimited data right guys ?

Greetings...

New to this phone and purchased it for the hi-speed internet access.

I have the phone set correctly and can use the USB connection with WModem just fine and very good speeds.

However with the Bluetooth, that is a different story. I can connect, but the speeds are very poor and end up locking up the phone and I have to soft reset. (Conntects at 115kbps) The phone always seemssto be in EV mode (big block and not the small EV with the two arrows or the 1x.) and like dials and connects in less than a second. If I was in full EVDO mode when I started, it then drops to the big EV. If I use the WModem program it goes into 1X mode. (USB mode give full EVDO)

I am using a Dell 700M and a D-Link DBT-120 Bluetooth link. (Standard Windows drivers.)

Any thoughts?

Thank you.

I have read through this post, and am very new to this technology. I need to get some key terms or abbriviations used. What is tethering, DUN? Also correct me if I am wrong, but is this hack to enable the data plan on the phone without purchasing it?
TIA

Tethering = Using a cable to connect to your phone.

DUN = Dial Up Networking

Heck NO. You must PUCHASE the data plan for the highspeed access. This only activates the phone to be a modem thus using the data plan.

BTW....Now using a Kensington 2.0 Bluetooth card. Still the same data speed issue. I just think it is an issue with BT connection in general vs a USB cable. As mentioned, using USB the phone uses full EVDO, with Bluetooth, it does not seem to. Pondering.

Posted by: pod13

Bluetooth transfers data at a rate of 721 Kbps, which is from three to eight times the average speed of parallel and serial ports, respectively.

EVDO has a theoretical throughput of 2.4 megabits per second.

Correct. BT is going to be a throttle against an EVDO connection. Ideal throughput will be with a USB 2.0 connection.

Posted by: David_B

Thank you kindly. I was going nuts for 721 kbps is much higher than the connection rate I see of 115 kbps and actual download of 90 - 105 kbps.

USB sees actual download of 700-900 kbps.

Hi - I am new to 6700 on Verizon. After following directions in this thread, I have WModem working, and my laptop is tethered via USB at 230 K (I have 1 bar in EV-DO serviced area). My laptop does not have BT, so I can only tether via USB.

Two questions:

When undocked, I am syncing the 6700 over air to Exchange server - so I am assuming that a data call is always in progress. So when I go to launch WModem, so that I can then dock and tether to my laptop, I get dialog box saying "End current data call first". I have tried many things, but cannot seem to break the data call. All I can do is soft reset, and then WModem will launch and work. I also tried holding the "End Call" button, but this doesn't seem to do it either.

Also, although I can get Modem connection from PC, I do get a pop-up error on the 6700, saying somthing like "Error Code:1010 - Data service is not available when device is in tethered and Bluetooth Dial Up Networking mode". Anyone know what this means?

Thanks!

I enabled the BT DUN. I disovered the Bluetooth Dialup Modem on my phone from my iPAQ. I am able to connect to the phone and I dial the "#777" but I'm not getting connected. I believe it's a problem with my username / password.

I used myphonenumber@vzw3qw.com as my username and vzw as the password but it's not connecting.. Any ideas?

I enabled BT DUN on the VX6700. My laptop discovered the service correctly. I then went to the Properties of "My Network Places" and selected "Create a new connection". I selected "Connect using a dial-up modem". I selected the "Modem-Standard Modem over Bluetooth link". Entered Username, password, etc.

The laptop connects successfully to the Internet through the BT. However, every time I go to a new website (or if a website contains adds / content from another site), a "Dial-up" popup box flashes and asks me to "connect". I set it to connect automatically and now it just constantly flashes as I surf the Internet.

Any ideas?

DUN connected at 230K but a few seconds later i got an error message telling me that data service is not available in Tethered or Blue tooth mode?

I have tried the DUN settings with my couple day old XV6700 from verizon. I can't pull the Wmodem file out of the ppc, it says locked, and it won't delete it when it's moved.. ?

I also tried the ##33 number send deal, but is this only applicable in an EVDO area? It calls Verizon, and says welcome to verizon wireless, and then another recording says you've reached a number that isn't correct? No pop up windows or anything like that?

I just want to get the DUN working, ideally over bluetooth, but could live with usb...

Any suggestions, or help, I would greatly appreciate it. Love the phone other than these 2 issues.

If you are looking for a bluetooth adapter that works well with the xv6700, I just bought this one:

http://www.clubit.com/product_detai...itemno=A5318005

Comes to 5 dollars after shipping and rebate and works with the widcomm drivers with a little patching

if you're dialing ##3328873 and it connects then you're doing something wrong.. when you dial that number and hit send it's supposed to access a hidden menu .. not dial out like a phone number..

Posted by: darksine

Try doing ##778, that worked for me when the ##3328873 wasn't working. I am pretty sure you will be able to access all you need to using that.

Posted by: JKA/V

K, tried ##778 and I get the choice to View, Edit or Cancel. Choosing view or edit, I put in the 000000 and get an EPST screen with a bunch of listed items. None of which are editable... Just things like Nam Name, SCM ESN HEX, ESN Dec, MSID, LIfe Counter, Life Timer, Life Data RX, Life Data TX, Soft version, Firm version, Hardware version, PRI version, PRI Checksum, Refub status, Refurb date, Manf Date, Orig Activation date, Warranty date code..

Any other ideas as to how to get into this menu? I am in a non-EVDO area, not slated until 2007 for it..

As for DUN in general, I have also noticed that folks find the MuteEX flag in the HKLM registry under services, wireless mgr, but I do not have that registry entry?...

Posted by: darksine

When you did the ##778 did you check the drop down menu in the upper left corner? I got access to the EVDO, to change it to CDMA only using that method. The menu should be right under where the start button is, it will say Display and have a triangle pointing down.

Posted by: darksine

But I did just look through it, I didn't see a BT DUN menu in there though.

Posted by: JKA/V

I saw that menu just now when I did the ##778. But no BT dun settings in any of the many menus.?

Just about everything else, but that menu system doesn't look like what folks are talking about with the BT dun and so forth.... Anyone have any idea?

This is the feature that completely shutdown the Receive side of the EVDO portion of my phone. VZW just replaced the whole phone because messing with this setting screwed it all up. I couldnt receive calls, messages, or email when the phone said EV in the status bar. Be careful.

I would be interested in knowing what not to do, because everytime you do a *228 it removes the hack and I have to do it again. Please reply with your experience so that others won't make the same mistake.

Hi everyone,

I've enabled DUN on my phone and gotten it to work via bluetooth, but I'm having a problem getting it to work via usb. When I run WModem, select USB, and click on "start" -- I always get the error "COM OPEN ERROR" on the phone. Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks,
Jamie

Posted by: moonhunt

For USB DUN hack, you can follow original instructions for XV6600 except wmodem.exe part.
Wmodem.exe is already in /windows directory, and it is just "hidden" system file, so you can not see it.
In order to run wmodem.exe, visit Start>Settings>Personal>Menus.
Then uncheck either Help or Downloads, whatever you don't see the use from Start Menu.
You can select up to 7 items from this Menus.
Then browse down to bottom, so you can find "Wireless Modem".
Select "Wireless Modem".

Then go back to Today screen, and if you select "Start", you will see "Wireless Modem".
If you want to use the phone as modem via USB, you can shutdown ActiveSync from your PC/Laptop, and run this "Wireless Modem" from your XV6700.
Select "USB" from Connection Type, and click "Start".
Then your PC/Laptop will find new device from USB Connection, and apply the device driver file from XV6600 USB DUN hack info, and run USB CDMA modem application to dial to #777 with your-number@vzw3g.com as username, vzw as password.

Hi Jamie,

Did you try it with USB cable connected between your laptop/PC and XV6700?

Hyun

Posted by: JKA/V

I found the Wmodem entry and have opened it in my xv6700, but it still does not connect with dun to the laptop I have..

I also can't seem to copy the wmodem file from the ppc to my desktop, and copy it back without read and hidden settings. Have tried it with resco explorer from the ppc itself, but also can't change the settings from read and hidden.

Really at a loss here, any ideas?

I have gone through the steps also to activate WModem. When I run the WModem APPLICATION, I attach the USB wire, select USB as the Connection Type and press Start. I also get the WM:ERROR - COM OPEN ERROR (COM8). Any suggestions that can help me fix this would be greatly appreciated.

This is the same port that the WModem tries to use for the USB Modem connection, d'oh! So I unpaired the GPS, re-paired it, and assigned it to a different com port (com port 4) and everything is working fine. I can use DUN via USB and I can connect to my GPS.

Windows Mobile does not have a good way to see what com ports are assigned to what devices, so as far as I could tell, there is no good way to figure this out.

The only pairing I have is a 820 motorola bluetooth headset... Anyone have any other ideas. I still cannot:

1. use ##332... to access my epst settings.
2. Cannot copy/move the wmodem file from my ppc to my pc, and take off the read/hidden settings, and copy it back to the ppc
3. ##778 does not give any access for bt_dun settings
4. have gotten to wmodem in resco explorer, and have made a shortcut to access it, but it still does not dun to my laptop...
5. haven't been able to get the xv6700 to be in evdo connection and have the phone on at the same time. (I'm in a non-evdo area, but still can connect via national access)

Anyone has any thoughts, I would greatly appreciate them!!

I had to copy the file to my PC, attrib from command prompt, then zip the file up, copy the zip to the XV6700, and unzip it with the pre-installed Zip program . Zip was able to overwrite the existing file.

K, I will try that, just not sure what attrib from the command prompt means?

On your PC, click Start -> Run
type cmd
When the command prompt comes up, cd to the directory where you saved your files.

type the following:

attrib -a -s -h -r wmodem.*

Thanks Blurp, will try that out and see how it goes, appreciate it!

Having trouble pairing my XV6700 with a Nokia 770. The 770 sees the XV6700 fine, but the XV6700 doesn't seem to see the 770. After trying to pair the two, a message says data transfer is not possible. (bluetooth pairing with a Win XP laptop no problem)

Do I need a special mini-USB datacable for a teathered solution or will any mini-USB cable work?

I'm using the cable that came with the 6700 -- so I think any mini-USB cable should work.

I am having the same problem.. I followed the instructions... set the bluetooth and wmodem in the phone with the 000000 password.. reset the phone.. discovered services.. and it just came up with the comport and voice gateway.

I am also having a problem with wired sync too.. I was able to do it once.. chose to disable it a second time, and have yet to figure out what the hell I need to do to turn that on as well.. BAH!!

To turn off active syn, right click on the active syn icon in your task bar and select connection settings. Then uncheck the allow usb connections box, or check the box to turn it on.

Setting up the USB DUN I keep getting the error

"One of the USB Devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it."

"Reccomondation: Try reconnecting the device. If Windows still does not recognize it, replace the device."

Does it no matter what USB port I use. Any ideas?

ActiveSync works fine, and Ive had BT DUN working before, but now it seems as if when I discover devices in range it doesent see the phone....

Several brief questions:

1 - Are the below directions correct if I want to tether my 6700 for internet access on my laptop, not using BT?

2 - Once I follow the steps, and using wModem, how do I connect to the internet, do have to dial my ISP number like a traditional modem or is it another process?

There is more to this I know, trying to keep quote/post short.

[QUOTE=VZW E]THis is for a XV6700:

1)
1. Go to the PHONE application
2. Dial ##3328873 Press Send
3. enter code 000000

5. Click Edit
6. Choose enable
7. Push Save / OK
8. Push Ok
9. Follow the prompt to restart your device.....

any update on mac os capability?

Posted by: whuserdady

I've done the USB tethering successfully a number of times - only problem I have is Windows XP wants to re-install the driver every time - so in my connections list I have the CDMA Modem 5 times and counting (CDMA Modem, CDMA Modem #1, #2, etc etc). Is there some sort of identification that changes on the phone? Anyone else have the same behavior, any way around it?
TIA

I get the same thing. It is irritating.

Posted by: GlennOC

just wanted to post this for those having trouble with WMODEM and getting the COM8 errors when starting the USB connection (on the phone)..

it's because you are not running the vzw version already on the phone and running the 6600 downloaded version.

No need to do anything short of making vzw factory installed wmodem visible.

no need to attrib the file or anything.

All this can be done with no special tools and on the XV6700 itself with only file explorer.

AFTER running the wmodem and dun enable procedures described earlier in this tread...

on your XV6700

1) open file explorer
2) in file explorer go to menu and select / check "show all files"
3) go to your "windows" directory on your xv6700
4) scroll down (many files) until you see wmodem (it's about 57k)
5) tap and run wmodem from there.

if you dont see wmodem, then make sure you followed the wmodem and dun enable procedures described earlier in this thread.

You will then be able to select "USB" and not get the "com errors" on your pda.... this is because you are runnung the factory installed wmodem already there on your device.

Then after you run wmodem already on your pda.. when you connect to your laptop / computer it will show up as a modem (expermental / no brand in some cases) you can then use the downloaded drivers for the 6600 and model dialer drivers.

You may be prompted for a file called usbser.sys during the install of the dialer driver.. if so, you will need to google search and download this file (alone).. it's also located on our service pack 2 win install disc.

after the dialer driver install on your laptop.. simply go to your network connection control panel and "add new connection".. then go through the new connection wizard selecting the USB modem when prompted... NO NEED to use the wmodem dialer application.. you can just use the standard windows connection... then enter the standard info.. number@vzw vzw pass.. etc..

and you should be able to dial up via the USB cable using wmodem.

again posting this for the people getting the "com errors" right off the bat on the pda itself running the wrong womdem app and are stuck on that part..

Hola. I'm looking into getting a 6700, but want to make sure I can use it as a modem (and of course being there are about 6 pages of instructions and sucess stories, I'm pretty convinced I can

)

One thing I'm not clear on is the connectivity from the phone/pda to the laptop. Is the USB cable you all are using included with the phone? What about the BT way of connecting to the laptop? Could anyone let me know a part number or name, or, link, anything on where I could get more info on these things?

Also, I've seen a few people ask about tethernet package charges while online with the laptop, but haven't seen any answers. How has this been working? If you just have the data package this is all possible?

Posted by: Thooom

OK, here's another modem question: rather than tethering to a laptop (I do this with my "dumb" phone now, using plain analog (slow) cellular), I can also tether my PDA (iPAQ) to my dumb cellphone. I'm following all these posts about tethering laptop--to--XV6700, and was just wondering if you can use the 6700's PocketPC DUN to connect (with a plain xxx-xxx-xxxx dialup number to my ISP)...............THROUGH the 6700's cellphone (again, using plain ISP dialup)? I know it's much slower than a dedicated data plan, but if (like me) you only need to do this once in a long while, it's simpler and cheaper than going with a Verizon data plan.

So, can the 6700's PocketPC "tunnel" to the 6700's cellphone as a DUN modem? Does this make sense?

Thanks.

the USB cable is included with the phone XV6700 (verizon). It's basically a USB standard to USB mini-standard cable. the Phone charges from the USB port when connected to the notebook, so if battery life is an issue with your portable, then the BT DUN may be what you want.. however the cradle supplied with the 6700 has 2 usb attach points at the rear.. one for the charger and one the data.. if you wanted to charge your phone faster and still be able to use the USB cable for data transfer / dialup.

BT connection to the laptop works great also.. the instructions listed earlier in the thread work well. So far tested with D-link (DBT-120 B4), Belkin (FBT001), and built in bluetooth on a sony SZ-160, 180, built in bluetooth on a toshiba G35 qosmio and a Macbook pro (under windows via bootcamp and under OS X). direct USB cable connection also works great on windows on the macbook pro I might add. however cable usb dial up in OS X is something that I still have not tried.

so I'm assuming that the bluetooth dialup on the 6700 will work in all but a few cases with most laptops with built in bluetooth and most popular adapters...

one thing to remember when using BT dialup is to press and hold the "hang up" button on the phone for a few secs to ensure you've closed any phone data connections or you may see the erroneous IP errors.. just hold down hang up for a few secs and try DUN again.

connection speed is faster via the USB cable than via bluetooth.. but both work well.

on the PDA dial up.. if your PDA has bluetooth, that would probably be the best way to do the dialup.. I have not tried my PDA with it yet..

as for the data charges.. I surf on my 6700 (the device itself) almost as much as via DUN on using my portable and only use my notebook and DUN when I need to on the road.

so far no probs.

What about PDA-to-cell dialup DUN..........but on the SAME device? I'm asking about using the XV6700 as a PDA to dialup to an ISP......using the 6700's own cellphone to dial. That needs to be a Bluetooth connection? Is there no hardware/software bridge that allows the 6700's PDA DUN to connect to the 6700's cellphone (modem)? Without any other device attached?

8. Follow the prompt to restart your device

Go to your Mac

1. Set up Pairing using the Bluetooth System Preference Panel
2. Set up the 6700 with Bluetooth Setup Assistant
3. Select Dialup and put Tel: #777, your tel#@vzw3g.comm, vzw password.
4. Click Connect

I got the xv6700 a month and a half ago and I was wondering once you get the wifi and phone antennas' working at the same time. Instead of using the Bt Dun interface or the usb tether is it possible to create a wifi ad-hoc (laptop to device) and the EVdo. So that you can make internet data call and then forward the internet via evdo to the laptop using wifi? Has anybody tried?

Posted by: Half Decaf

I am having problems with the above instructions. First, what is the "Phone Application" ? If I press the green phone button on the front of the 6700, a blue screen comes up with phone buttons. Is that what you all are refering to as the "Phone Application" ?

If I press ##3328873, and press TALK, there is no SEND button, the phone dials - yes, I am pressing # twice.

If I press ##778 and press TALK, a list of things appears, there is no BT DUN option.

I am definitely stumped.

Posted by: Aleta99

I am sure someone else has figured this out long before me, but here are the steps I used to get my 6700 to work as a modem, no major 'hacks' required.
if I missed anything, or anything is unclear, pm me.

1. Wmodem
This is a program on Windows Mobile 5.0 that will allow you to use the 6700 as a modem. You can connect via USB, Bluetooth or Infrared, of course speeds will be greatly affected by the last two options.

To find on Pocket PC, Start-->Programs-->File Explorer-->Windows
At the bottom right of screen there is the Menu tab, click and select "Show All Files"
The bottom of the page will be the link for the wmodem program. I copied and pasted it to my Programs folder on pocket PC for easy access.

2. You will need a driver so that Windows will recognize your device as a modem. This driver is cdma1x_usbmdm.inf The corresponding program is CDMA_USBmodem_dialer. This program is what you will launch at the same time you run Wmodem on the Pocket PC. They work together to dial out.
I was able to find this software at http://www.intrasection.com/pjmorr/2005/02/page/2/

The driver and program link are at the bottom of the page.

Install the driver and the program to your Program Folder on your laptop/pc.
I didn't use the Windows Network Wizard to set up the connections, as the CDMA Dialer program seemed to set it up on it's own.

3. It is important to start the Wmodem program on the 6700 before connecting it to the laptop with the USB. When you do plug it in, Windows will ask for a driver. I entered in the folder the driver was in so the laptop recognized the device; and run the CDMA_USBmodem_dialer program.

4. Your user name is yourwirelessnumber@vzw3g.com. Your password is vzw. Your dial out number is #777.

There are many bits and pieces to this formula out on the net, some user's threads on Howardforums got me started in the right direction.

Is there anyway for them to tell if you are tethering vs surfing on the 6700, short of 'excessive use'?

Posted by: Half Decaf

Thanks, Aleta. I ended up hard resetting my 6700 and then doing the ##3328873 thing. PDA may not be as fast, but it was pretty straightforward. I might back it up and then do what you suggest.

Thanks again.

Thanks again. I hard resetted my 6700 and did as you instructed. Worked like a charm. I am currently using an old HP Laptop with USB 1.1 -- it connects to the phone at ~250kbps. I have ordered a high speed USB PCbus card to speed things up, tho. Hopefully, I can reach 750 kbps or so as that's what I am paying for. It sure is fun to go into the back yard and surf at fairly good speeds.

Hi friends,
I did get my BT DUN working. However, when I start WModem at XV6700, my windows XP does not recognize my USB device (XV6700), so no new hardware is found. Only undown USB device is shown in the device manager. I tried to update the drive and use the CDMA USB modem.inf, the computer shows no device information is found. Could any expert show me how to fix this problem.
Thanks

I have used all the instructions to get the tethered connection to work with the XV6700.

I live in the SF Bay area and have never gotten better than 222 down 78 up

I already have a broadband connection at home and occasionally may want to browse the web while I am on the road. My laptop has wifi and I am rarely out of range of a hotspot.

I am wondering if paying the extra $15 removes a cap that limits the connection to 200Kbps

I am still in the 15 day grace period for this device and I just cannot justify the extra expense of $44/month without having laptop tethering included at a usable speed.

I may re-consider a similar device in the future when pricing is more reasonable with VZW.

ps: Doing a hard-reset last week enabled BT and un-hid the WModem Application

Can anyone tell me what would cause the computer not to be able to set up modem when drivers are provided. I have 2 laptops and both were working with xv6700 as a DUN modem. I updated to new Rom and one of the laptops you can connect with know problems and no changes were made to that machine. The other laptop you can not get the installation wizard to take the driver it is unable to set up modem due to software and hardware conficts. I am at a complete lose with this maybe someone can shed some light on this for me. I am not sure if I need a different drive since I updated the Rom if this was true I would think the other machine would not work. Totaly confused at this point. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

I had DUN working great, then I installed the new firmware.

After installing the new firmware, I tried to enable DUN by dialing ##3328873. Now when I dial that and hit send, it dials the phone number, and does not let me get into the "enable DUN screen".

After scratching my head for a bit, I decieded to try to just launch wmodem and connect like I did before.

It worked.

It seems, for me anyway, that after you install the new firmware, DUN is enabled by default.

I know drrjv, Half Decaf, and narzy ran into this problem, so I figured I would post my experience.

When you enable DUN, you're programming the hardware phone of your device to allow the capability. It's independent of the ROM.

So, to clarify, it's not true that "DUN is enabled by default" as you have said. It's simply still enabled for you.

I have Resco explorer. I highlighted the Wmodem.exe and chose create shortcut and chose programs but Wireless Modem doesn't show up in my programs folder. I was able to create a shortcut file for it in the Windows folder but when I try copying it to programs (where I see my programs .lnk files) I get an error message.

Can someone recommend a good (and tiny) third party launcher to launch stuff like wmodem.exe?

Thanks,

After much frustration, I gave up for the night, trying to connect one of my machines. The next night, I tried on another machine. I was extremely excited when I got it working via USB, the via BT! Now that I got it working, I knew what I needed to do on the other machine...so I thought!

I did everything the same as done on working machine, however, I continue to receive the following error:

When I go to properties and view the Services tab, I see the DUN profile. I check the box next to Dial-up networking (DUN) to enable it, but as soon as I click 'OK' or 'Apply', it pops up with a window that says:

"Bluetooth Service Error
Access is denied."

Any ideas?

I hear that these feature codes don't exist if you abort Verizon's provisioning of their custom software. If that's the case, backup your device (I use Sunnysoft Backup Manager), hard-reset and enable DUN, then hard-reset and abort vzw provisoning before a full restore.

I hard-reset and restore my device every few weeks without any problems. It only takes 15 minutes, and it always runs better afterwards.

Ok. My friend just got a brand new XV6700 from verizon. We brought it home, did a hard-reset and aborted before the vzw stuff installed.

We then launched wmodem, hooked it up to his laptop, and it worked like a charm. I guess this one had DUN activated out of the box.

I see someone managed to get it to work via BT, but of course the issue there is watching your battery drain like crazy; I've used my Razr for hours at a time with a charging USB cable from gomadic and it's been very handy.

I know, I could just use Boot Camp and boot the Mac into Windoz, but I'd rather not if I don't have to.

Thanks to everyone on this thread for all their investiation; I actually aborted my plan to buy a 6700 today when the sales drone told me that EVDO tethering was only supported on the 700p and one of the Crackberry models. Good to know there's hope, I'll probably return to the VZW store and pick up this guy on Worry-free and see if I can make the DUN instructions work for me!

I have had problems with DUN on the Mac since the New ROM (worked great with the old ROM).

Why not go for the 700p?

Posted by: drrjv

Finally, got BT DUN to work with the new ROM's and Mac OS X!!!

Here's how:

1. Hard Reset and allow VZW software to load.
2. Dial ##3328873 and enable BT and Wmodem
3. Do the Hard->Soft Reset Hack
4. Pair BT with your 6700 and Mac
5. Enter the settings (yournumber@vzw3g.com, vzw, #777)
6. Select the au cdmaOne Bluetooth Adapter as your BT modem
7. Start surfing on your Mac

PS: No need to run Wmodem

Thanks to ajm for the hint!

PSS: This note sent from my OS X Mac with BT DUN on my 6700

Thanks to the posters for all the adive on this very informative thread. I have my XV6700 up and running on USB.

My question is about the speed. I am showing a connection speed of only 230.3 Kbps. I was expecting at least 300 and closer to 600 on average. Am I not optimising the settings? I am in an EVDO area.

Posted by: alexchan79

Hi,

When i tried dialing the ##3328873 and then send, my phone is dialing and i hear "Your call cannot be completed as dialed" Am i doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Alex

Do a hard reset, let the Verizon Crap load, then do the 332... fix.

Then do another hard->soft reset to eliminate the VZW 'enhancements' and you should be ready to do BT DUN.

(see my message above)

Hi all,

I've been playing with my new favorite toy (xv6700) and I love it so far! I followed the instructions word-for-word that I found here and was able to connect my laptop with a dial-up connection over bluetooth - yay! Only later did I find out that the new ROM provides BT DUN out of the box and I'm wondering what the deal was with those settings I tweaked...

Now, four questions:

1) When I connect using the phonenumber@vzw3g.com, vzw, #777 settings, am I using voice minutes on my plan, or MB out of my (paid-for) PDA data plan, or neither?

2) This one depends on the answer to #1, but might I be able to connect using a dial-up account of my own (my cable provider gives dial-up access to its customers, and I have a direct dial-up VPN from my work) rather than the Verizon settings without using either my voice minutes or MB from my data plan?

3) My PC was only showing up as being connected at 115kbps, which looks like 1xRTT speeds, not EVDO (would have expected ~500kbps for EVDO). Am I missing something in my setup that would enable EVDO speeds?

4) The bummer part was that after a few minutes of being connected, the connection seemed to have been dropped (my browser kept returning "page not found" even though the Connection Status still said it was Connected), and the backlight was off on my phone but I could still see the Today screen, and it was non-responsive. I had to do a soft reset to get it to wake up. Is that normal?

Thanks!
Jason

I followed the instruction to install wmodem.exe and installed the driver and got the XV6700 working as a modem in 10 minutes. Great! BUT.... I am not sure what my husband did , it is not working now. I went into Device Manager and the modem is gone. I plugged the xv6700 in again and windows did not recognize anything plugged in. I tried "scan for hardware changes" from device manager but the minute I did that it would go "not responding". I have rebooted the XP computer and also tried a different USB port but still the same thing. What can I do? Thanks, all.

Posted by: rmcneely

Hi all. I've got my Verizon XV6700 to connect twice and got good speeds but can't get it to connect again. Not sure how I did get it to connect. When I connect my USB cable and run WModem I get the yellow connection icon but when I click start I get an error that I must end the data call first. If I disable the data then I don't get a yellow connection light. I've spent a few hours trying this (mostly in airport bars). Any input would be appreciated. email is ron.rem@gmail.com. Thanks!

Hi,

I get the same thing, usually i reboot my PocketPC, run the wireless modem and hit start and then plug in the USB cable and then dial on the laptop and it connects. But if anyone figures a way around this, let me know. Thanks.

Alex

The other question I've got is about the speed. When I connect via USB I get 230 kb/s, which is ok, but isn't EVDO supposed to be faster than that? I also noticed that when I'm connected the little icon at the top of the screen says "1X" not "EV" like it does when I'm using the data connection for the device itself, not with a laptop via DUN. Is this an indication that I'm only using 1XRTT speeds and not EVDO? Is there a driver or application that will let me use DUN at EVDO speeds?

Posted by: am776

HI all,
I tried to enable BT DUN and Wmodem and click Edit to enable them, but they are still disable .I tried the hard rest but without any benefit.

Short of a hard reset, any thoughts on this condition?

Thanks to the guys pioneering this thread, simply awesome.

I jsut wanted to chime in and say: I got my box stock xv6700 to work with just some tinkering.

As said previously:

enable btmodem etc etc.

Pair the devices, I paired mine with winmodem because it gave me the option to use the phone as a way to connect to the internet.

Then, I just set the modem on one of the connection to the au cdmaOne Bluetooth Adapter.

I did get a weird message about a crossed connection. Turns out I had one of the modems set to a null modem (Made sense at the time, since its not a real modem but a phone) Chanding it to the Au bluetooth fixed it.

Side note: I made the modem Icon appear in the upper right. It allows you to see time, information rx or tx. I'm posting this from my mac right now =)

Thank you thank you thank you.

WORKS AWESOME.

Josh
P.S. DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS YOU ARE RICH OR SIGNED UP FOR THE UNLIMITED DATA PLAN. I talked to a vzw person today who told me it would cost .015 CENTS per Kb. Then I looked to see if I could maybe just get a plan and it would be even cheaper. Then I notice that the plans make no sense, it'd be cheaper to pay as you go. Turns out, even though I calculated this on the phone with him and he listened, and replied YES when I asked if it would cost 1.50 per megabyte... the service really costs 15 DOLLARS per megabyte. Thusly, .015 dollars per KB. Very Freaking different. 15 cents versus 1/15 of a cent.

don't know if this was mentioned already but guys don't forget that there is a reg hack to prevent the provider from detecting tethered connections.

...What is it?

I don't know what happened but after trying for what seems like dys (actually was), I just got it working 230.46 KBPS on USB.

Has anyone done this after deleting the VZW stuff through the hard reset trick, as in I can't use ##comands. It was mentioned earlier but shrugged off as not needing to delete the VZW stuff... I don't feel like ahrd resetting again so... Any solution? TIA

Hi,

I have read that there is a hack that allows you to have uninterputed internet connection using Wmodem or Bluetooth.

Currently, I will be connected to the internet via Wmodem and then I receive a call and it drops my internet connection. Is there anyway to retain the internet connection AND be able to take the call without the loss of connectivity?

Sorry if this has already been addressed, but I looked all over and haven't seen the hack for this.

Thanks for your help on this.

When I "Dial ##3328873 Press Send" it rings 2-3 times then I get the voice message, "your call cannot be completed as dialed..." Any ideas?

So I can avoid doing a full hard reset, do you know which Verizon App in particular I need to load for the ##332... to work? I'd like to avoid re-loading and reconfiguring everything when everything else is working perfectly. Thx!

Posted by: jeffx

OK, found the answer here:

I need to install Customize_105201.sa.CAB, do the ##32... fix, then uninstall it.

Hey everyone, just picked up this fine piece of equipment today, the 6700 got verizon. I used to have an E815 and used the DUN wherever and it used it as just minutes. My question is, will this phone react the same way?

One more question that i'm really wanting to know...
Can the phone itself simply connect to the #777 internet-as-minutes type deal, and use internet functions on the phone? Still playing around with the thing to figure stuff out, but any help would be great. Thanks!
Mike

I decided to buy this phone a week ago (have about 8 months left on my Verizon contract and need internet access for business). I'm going to go with the 45$ unlimited plan for the PDA. My question is, can you access the internet via USB Tethering under that same cost? I don't plan on using tons of data on my laptop, just play poker/check email why i'm at a friends house or on the raod or something. Comments? Suggestions?

I have been struggling to get my 6700 connected as a usb modem for some time now. This has been by far the most informative thread I have found, however I have still having some difficulties. I am getting an error message when I try to start Wmodem.

I hit the end call button to disconnect the data call as instructed. After I do that I click on my "Wmodem" file to start the program. When the program starts I hit "start" and then get this error message

Data Call Failure

Error Code 1010

Data service is not available when device is in tethered and bluetooth dial up networking mode.

I can't get past this to connect the device to my laptop to set up the drivers etc.

If anyone has any ideas of what is happening here, I would love to hear them.

Thanks,

Zeke

Has anyone had any luck getting this to work in Vista??? I'm tearing my hair out here, and I see some threads around the internet with a ton of code to be pasted into an INF file that will make it work, but I need like a step by step thing as this isn't my forte!

HELP!!!

Thanks! :-)

I just bought a new laptop with Vista Home Premium on it ... Installed a bluetooth adapter and it worked great for connecting to the internet through my phone. However, i haven't been able to get it to work with the USB cable. Will update if i figure that out. Anyone out there get it going?

Posted by: GlennOC

getting DUN to work in Vista with the USB cable is easy...

find the CDMA USBModem.inf file (where your driver install folder is located) and add the following lines to the .inf file (where it says <---- ADD THIS LINE below...) under each of the following sections in the file:

[Modem1.NT]
DriverVer=05/13/1999
CopyFiles=FakeModemCopyFileSection
AddReg = All, MfgAddReg, Modem1.AddReg, Voice, EXTERNAL, MDMGL007.V90_Voice,MDMGL004.ExtraCID,MDMGL001.Ters eResp
include=mdmcpq.inf <---- ADD THIS LINE

[Modem1.NT.Services]
AddService=usbser, 0x00000000, LowerFilter_Service_Inst
include=mdmcpq.inf <---- ADD THIS LINE

[Modem1.NT.HW]
AddReg=LowerFilterAddReg
include=mdmcpq.inf <---- ADD THIS LINE

then uninstall your failed vista driver install... and re-install with the modified .inf file above and you should be gold.

The existing USB driver for the xv6700 works great in windows Vista.

I had the hack working for enabling the phone as a modem on my laptop with Windows XP Pro. However now when I connect it...it gives me an error message "USB Device not recognized".

When I update the driver to the one provided in several previous posts I get another error message stating "The specified location does not contain information about your hardware"

Then if I try to connect using the USB dialer I get "Error 680: There was no dial tone."

I have made sure that everything was disconnected on the XV6700 with no phone or data calls. There is no active sync conflicts since this isn't even installed on the laptop. This worked fine just a month ago. It is as if there was some sort of update to the phone causing this error since I have rolled back all windows updates to the date the phone last worked correctly on the laptop.

Is there a new driver I need to install on the phone or has Verizon installed an update that renders the phone no longer usable as a modem?

Thanks.

Posted by: tsphil

Just a follow-up to this message. It appears that if I use a different USB port the phone will magically work. Strange that a different USB port on the same laptop will not see the phone. To anyone else having this issue just try different ports to see if you can use your phone as a modem again. Very maddening indeed.

Posted by: hvx200

I have been experiencing variations of the same problem. Sometimes the VX6700 connects seamlessly to the laptop via the USB port, on other occasions, I find that I must start the wmodem, put the VX6700 in sleep mode, connect the USB cable, then dial and everything connects.

Just as frequently, I get the error 680 or no dial tone and then keep mucking around with the VX6700, USB interface and computer and finally get connected, having used so many different combinations of these methods that it appears there has been VZW patch to try and keep us out!

Any suggestions would be appreciated. This happens in many parts of the USA using both EvDo & 1X.

Thanks in advance

I have read the thread about using the 6700 as a tethered modem, but not the 6600. When I try to follow the directions below I just get a recording from Verizon saying the call cannot be completed as dialed. I am however able to dial in other ## items such as ##33284 Field Diagnostics - that one works fine.

Any thoughts? Have not been willing to switch to the 6700 because of smaller screen, slower operation . . .

Posted by: ambush276

ok got another question. On this phone, in this method do you get EVDO Acess. SO like will you get the 400-700 Kbps speeds if in an evdo area. Or is this auto change to 1X network so only 100 kbps max out. Because i have a v3m and when i use QPST, edit a few files, i get full EVDO internet speeds. I was wondering what the speeds are on this phone.

I have a Vista Laptop and a XV6700. I cannot get it to connect via bluetooth or USB cable. I have all the disks, have checked the hard drive on the laptop and the memory on my XV6700 and cannot find the files listed here to hack. I've tried everything to find these files on the resources I have. Do I find the files on the hard drive of my laptop? How do I get them off the CDs I have from Verizon? I am pretty computer literate, and the threads I read here always leave out one key piece of information, like where the files are on the HD, memory, or CD.
