C1000/3x00 General discussions / Need Help With Bluetooth Zaurus -> Phone Connectio

not sure if you mean *99#.  Glad you solved it.

Anyway, i am responding because my friends' laptop is having issues again.  Same settings and same string and i even tried yours.  Doesnt work.  Now I'm trying different strings to see if its tmobile or what.  Maybee they blocked the port?  Ill call customer support.

Yup - *99# - I edited my earlier post as well.

Bummer about your laptop issue.  I did read various people had to use
the other two Tmobile addresses or even the *99***1# ph. numbers, too.

In case anybody besides me is following this thread or finds it in the future, after
MUCH futzing, I found my problem. I needed to put two \'s in front of my quotes
in the init string.

So the Init String is simply:
AT+cgdcont=1,\\"IP\\",\\"internet2.voicestream.com\\"

The ph. # is *99#
baud rate 115200
The three check boxes are checked (Hardware Flow Control, Auto-deteect routing,
Auto-detect name servers)

Incidentally, I found the file: /dev/shm/tmp/bluetooth-pppd-log a valuable debugging
aid, as was manually editing the file: /etc/ppp/peers/BLUETOOTH[your # here]

Thanks for inspring this success, at least, Cresho !

ps- I also had to uninstall the recommended susp-resume packages since
they caused my Z to never suspend.  When needed, I re-start bluetooth
with /etc/rc.d/init.d/bluetooth restart

Getting closer....

I changed my Init string to:
"OK",ATZ,"OK",at+cgdcont=1,"IP","internet2.voicestream.com"

And now I at least get a proper connection to the phone. The phone shows the modem
connection active and says "Connecting", but then it quickly disappears, closing the
connection. It's as if the phone is not connecting to Tmobile internet properly now.

So, it looks like the ATZ was needed to start the modem connection, but I'm not
sure what's wrong now. I've tried internet1.voicestream.com, and internet3...., but
same results.

edit: apparently, the only thing working is the ATZ. I get the same symptoms with
atz+cgdcont=1,"IP","internet2.voicestream.com"
as the init string.

have you tried replacing the atz with at+cgdcont=1,”IP”,”internet2.voicestream.com"

Hi Cresho,

Currently there is no atz in my startup script, just the
at+cgdcont=1,”IP”,”internet2.voicestream.com"
You think I need an atz, too?  I've found a few other
references online and seem to suggest the same startup script
as above (no ATZ).  Some give other phone numbers like
*99***[123]#
(where [123] is one of 1,2,3], but that's about it.  I've GOT to be close here, but ....

Thanks a lot for your help!!

now before you do all this, i am curious.  which packages have you installed into your zaurus.  This is important.



make sure you have these files installed
susp-resume-bluez_0.9.1_arm.ipk
bluez-csr-serial_0.1_arm.ipk
bluez-zaurus_arm.ipk
qtopia-bluetoothnetworkapplet_1.0.1_arm.ipk
qtopia-pannetworkapplet_1.0.1_arm.ipk
susp-resume_0.9-3.1.ipk

Thanks, Cresho. I have installed all the files above, but bluez-zaurus_arm.ipk
because I can't find it. Is this unique and different from the  Bluez 2.12-2.4.20-alpha4
I have already installed and gotten working?

Still can't connect (without that package). I mean, I can connect to the phone since if I
unpair them, the phone asks permission to connect. I just can't get the network
connection working. I added the connect string as above and the phone number.
No ATZ in the connect string, right?  Is this likely a problem with the missing .ipk or
is something else still wrong?

thanks,

scot

btw- if I dial *99# on my phone itself, it comes back and says "Request not completed."
Is that significant?
And also interesting, is my Nokia 770 just gets this right without any futzing, although
I haven't been able to locate yet where it keeps its magic config files to see what it's
doing.

I've some notes on my home page in howto go about connecting to internet with a mobile + bluetooth + Z:
http://www.seicento.selfip.org/zaurus/issu..._bluetooth.html
and just incase anyone is intrested also somthing about tcp/ip between to bluetooth capable devices (in my case my laptop and my Z)
http://www.seicento.selfip.org/zaurus/issu..._bluetooth.html

Hi Louigi, these look like good information, but I think a step before where my troubles
are. I'll take a closer read, though to see and definitely keep those bookmarked.

thanks

the T-mobile requires an initialization string which allows your zaurus to dial appropriately to T-mobile.
his and as an example as I recall the correct one is this one.

at+cgdcont=1,”IP”,”internet2.voicestream.com"

Thanks, Cresho. I believe this is what I need. I've found this string already, but I can't seem
to find the right place to put it!  Are you using the IRDA connection route? Do you put
this string in the Network Wizard GUI or in the /etc/ppp/peers/IRDA* file directly?
Could you perhaps post your IRDA* file if this is the method you use?  Do you use a
phone number in the Network Wizard GUI as well (*99#, maybe?)?

Thanks,

scot

After much flailing, I now have the tumnus version of bluez for kernel 2.4.20 working
in my SL-C3000 along with my Billionton card CFBT02-B2.
bluetooth starts up OK
hciconfig looks good
hcitool scan sees my phone
sdptool browse XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX finds my phone's services all right

but it's here that I seem to get lost in going the next step to connect to my phone
for its network connection. I see various posts about creating
IRDA connections, then editing the files adding /dev/rfcomm0 at the top.
I've done that. I've tried various different startup commands, phone #s etc. and
I can't get the two to actually connect network-wise.  When I attempt to start the
(modified) IRDA connection, the pop-up box always shows me:

Initializing
Connecting
Authenticating
Network Offline

and doesn't connect.

It looks like all I'm missing now is the proper configuration glue between the Zaurus
and my phone.

My setup:
SL-C3000:
 SHARP ROM 1.11JP (kernel 2.4.20)
 Billionton CF Bluetooth card
 Bluez 2.12-2.4.20-alpha4

Phone:
 Nokia N80
 TMobile voice and data service (USA)

Thanks for any help. I've spent hours today searching the forums and the web and
am still missing something!

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Endless Games With Amiga Emulator?

« on: March 12, 2006, 01:48:21 pm »

Had an A1000 and an A300T-040 that I used daily as recently until about 6-7 years ago.
Never tried messing with UAE, though, on the Z or otherwise. (Probably because I kept
the real thing for so long. :>) Over 30? Yup, that, too (I also had a Commodor SuperPET
back in the day....)

General Discussion / Hello From Japan :)

« on: March 01, 2006, 01:33:48 am »

I bought mine in a very tiny Softmap shop in Akihabara
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=116187\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Yup- sounds like my usual place, too.  Basically, one small square of a store with
Zaurii usually at the rear left corner- Sofmap 8, I still think it is... :>

I can't tell now if I was just clueless, or if Sofmap didn't have nteen stores the first
few times I went to Akihabara. Now, it's crazy trying to find them and with Bic Camera
having just bought them (or was it the other way around), no telling what will happen
next, although there aren't many (any?) Bic Cameras in Akihabara.

I remember seeing small Sony WiFi card like you describe a few years back.
A friend hat it in his micro-Sony laptop (Japanese).  Probably was a PCMCIA card, though.

Have fun!!

I usually buy my zaurii used from Sofmap 8 (I think that's right) in Akihabara.
Always in perfect condition and a couple hundred (or more) less than new.

1. a backup machine in case the main one fails (have a backup which needs only few steps and about half an hour to restore / duplicate the entire setup of the main machine 1:1)

Daniel,

I'm thinking about getting a 2nd C3000 for similar reasons.  Any chance we could get you
to detail your backup/restore procedure?  Seems like a handy procedure to have around - I'm
sure many people will eventually benefit.

thanks
