newbie once more - hpc / sony T610 help ?

Hi -
Can anyone help me connect to my sony ericcson T610 - to send / receive sms and then to use it as an IR modem, either gprs or gsm, to access my mail. I know I can get a bluetooth card if all else fails (I had my palm T3 bluetoothed to it, but it finally bled to death) but I'd prefer to IR if at all possible. I have Trio phone manager and easysms on board, but they can only download and upload contacts.

Used to have a couple of NEC HPC's back in the day - now I've gone "old skool" again thanks to the Dutch Railways bonanza. Have got the machine de-torx-ed and software patched and updated. Much enjoying it - hated the palm.

Thanks in advance.

ps - have GPRS cab but not sure where it goes on HPC

Ok, Cabs are installer files so just double click on them.

hi,

try mobem mphone for sms messaging. it's great. if it works on ce 2.11. (?)
but you should be able to send sms with easysms too! trio phonemanager sucks.. (sorry)

ir modem should be no problem at all. if it's a gprs connection, you type the APN in your phone then just create a new connection in remote networking on the hpc. select infra for modem and dialled number is *99***1# or *99#. that's all with ericsson phones.
i don't know anything about gsm as gprs is much cheaper here so i prefer it over gsm.

if you can connect but can't do anything then, can't browse, can't receive/send email, then download ispfix here: http://www.yetanotherhomepage.com/j7xx/files/ispfix.zip (install it then softreset.)

Got it - Works fine now with Easy SMS, so I'll bin Trio phone manager.
How about IR to connect to GPRS ?

Install the HPC:Factor Generic IrDa driver:

getting there, with your help. SMS fine now. Do I set up the connection as Dial up or direct ?

S

Dial-Up I think, Direct is for HPC to your PC connections

Nick

oh yeah maybe 2.11 will need it.

mphone seems to have a 2.11 version, i just checked it out.. download the trial version to see for yourself. knows so much more than easysms..

- ok; now have ISP fix in - but am getting a fatal application error - remnet.exe. Any ideas ?

junking ispfix gets rid of the error. I'm with vodafone for GPRS, and know the set up details, but I'm nor gettin anywhere. Any help appreciated.
S

oh then ispfix doesnt work with 2.11. didn't know (oh and of course i guess you have SH3.... don't you? no idea)
i'm with vodafone&gprs too. and T39 (ericsson phone too).
what's the exact problem? please tell me about it

Thanks - got it working now on broswer - for some reason my APN is "pp.vodafone.co.uk" in stead of "internet" - possibly because I have a pay as you go SIM - and that was stumping me.
For some reason I cannot connect to my email mailbox yet. As I recall the username had to have the "...@email.address" at the end. Is that true ? What stupid mistakes might I be making ?
S

no, you usually don't need that part. but sometimes you do need it.. try it without that and with that too. and don't forget the pop3 (imap?) and smtp server.
