Using as general modem via TAPI (or RIL if need be)

I am trying (unsuccessfully so far) to develop a program that will create a data (modem) connection to a modem connected to any other phone. I then want to transfer a small file using xmodem.
I have done extensive searches and tried solutions with TAPI calls based on samples I have found. I can dial the number of my laptop from the i-mate and the laptop on my desk rings. I tell it to pickup the line (ATA) and it does, but there is no "LINECALLSTATE_CONNECTED" from the "lineInitialize" callback function on the imate. All I get is a "LINECALLSTATE_DISCONNECTED" with the type as "LINEDISCONNECTMODE_UNREACHABLE". finally the it all hangs up, no connection.
I seem to be banging my head against a wall at the moment. There must be many of you out there who have done this or very similar.
I can post source is you want that type of thing, but I dont expect anyone to debug my app, but any pointers or others experiences are appreciated. I have come across the RIL interface, but I get the impression that TAPI is the "correct" way.
Thanks in advance.
Frustrated...

Have you got data enabled on your SIM. I was also banging my head against a wall until I thought I would check that with my service provider. There are 2 data things they can enable, one is fax but there is also data. Without data enabled you will never get a sucessfull modem connection.

arrhh!.. that's is. lol. I knew it would be something silly. Ill call today.
Thanks also. God bless you.

Well sorry to say that was not the issue, I still only get repeated
"LINEDISCONNECTMODE_UNREACHABLE"
errors. I am starting to wonder if I am just getting really bad lines. Can someone who has made a modem connection from the PPC to a desktop modem please post their experience on how reliable it is and what type of connection speed it should connect at (9600? 1200? 300? any connection?).
Is their any working sample code for creating a data connection from the PPC using the TAPI?
I will be happy to publish the code to the small project I am doing so future developers have something to work from as I havent been able to find a working example so far. (when it works that is)
Any help appreciated.
Thank-you

Figured out why it would not connect, for anyone else who has similar problems. Mine was the "CSC Line Type" option in the connection settings area.
It was set to "9600 v110" and "Non-transparent".
Im in australia, I understand the v.110 is the american standard, I changed it to
"9600 v.32" and "Non-transparent" and it connects fine. (dont you hate this type of bug)
Im still unsure what the "Transparent" and "Non-transparent" are todo with, if anyone could expain it would be appreciated.

I am glad you got it working. So I guess your code must be OK. I did not set any special communication mode so I guess that my XDA must of been set correctly anyway. It seems sensible that you are supplied with a setup for the country your device is meant for. I say this is bad of the provider.
How do you get to this setting ? I can't even seem to find it on my XDA. I have got a CSD setting that has a choice of 'Analogue' or 'ISDN' mode, mine is set to 'Analogue'.
I did post some code on this forum that is cut from an application I wrote, have a look at

The code actually worked almost first time when I had all the connection settings right. Ive got the XModem transfer working now also.
The "CSD Line Type" on my device (an i-mate) is an icon in the setting connection tab. In the same tab there is also
"Beam" - allows you to turn on recieve all incoming beams
"Bluetooth" - on/off/discoverable and bonding
"Connections" - normal connection setup
"GPRS Settings" - PAP/CHAP auth and class 8(4RIT)/class 10(3R2T)
not sure what the different GPRS settings are for either, but that side seems to work.

Hey to you all,
I'm trying to set up a CSD connection via RIL , AT commands and TAPI!!! You seem to have accomplished the TAPI solution which i have not started yet, could you advice me on the necessary TAPI functions to use in order to make this work ?
Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks to all.

using bluetooth modem on WM5 HTC Wizard, HOW???

Hey, just picked up a pre-pay 3 Skypephone, and its a nifty phone for the price, however what i would like to do is be able to use its good internet connection on my wizard, I have tried setting it up as a bluetooth modem, but when it tries connecting it claims there is no mobile at the number dialled (*99***1#). i think it may be something to do with it wanting to fill in the area code.
Any ideas? or anyone know how to get this to work properly?
thanks in advance

I was right, I figured out that i needed to turn off the dialling rules (schoolboy error i know)
anyway, all fixed now i have cheap fast browsing on the go

Can the HTC Magic be used as a modem?

Does the Magic have a modem mode allowing you to use it as a modem for your laptop?

So it's not a function you get out of the box then like in S60?

Exactly.
Important things to consider and confirmed in the VF eforum above are:
1) VF allows thetering (using the phone as a modem) and will not differentiate between "modem" traffic and phone traffic. This is contrary to t-mobile for the G1. So here this is good.
2) if you go over the 500MB per month, VF will notice and if you do that too often, they may start charging you for anything above (after notifying you few times of course).
P.S. this is why I believe Google never cared of enabling "modem" support natively into the Android OS, as T-mobile clearly forbid thetering on their phone (they want users to buy datacards packages instead). You may expect future f/w updates (e.g., android 2.0) to add support for this for VF. We will see.
Cheers!!

Modem
Looking for any one touch access modem software for HTC which can detect service provider & connect automatically like as Nokia pc suit

A couple of noobish questions

I have a few questions:
1) When using the Remote Desktop, do I have to pay for data charges?
2) Which software provides free GPS?
3) I've seen all these Radio Flashing threads. What are the Radios used for?
Hope my questions are answered!!!

1. Can't help on the first one as I've never used it.
2. You can try amAze GPS. I haven't tried it though, so can;t vouch for it.
3. The radio stack is responsible for the phone functionality of the device. This includes GPRS, GSM, UMTS, and GPS operations. The version you use depends on who your carrier is as users have reported versions working better on one carrier than the other. You can find more info here

Thanks for the reply!!!

1. depend on how one use remote desktop if it's over 3g (all types of phone networks)
yes
if it's over wifi then of cause not
wifi is 100% like a normal wires network between your home computers apart from the fact that it's wireless your operator can not even detect when you're using it

Videocall with X2

Hi there this is my first post in this forum.
Someone here thought it is a good idea to get some X2 as business phone. Unfortunately this one also decided that i am the one that has to take care of them.
My first task is to get Videocall working by using the Wireless Lan over here.
I tried to find some software that can do so but wasn't that successfull. Everything i found used a server that you had to subscribe to get this functionality. Thats exactly what i don't want.
Nice would be the following:
You can use your phone for Videocall within this buildung using the wireless lan so you can call every computer or phone connected to the local area network.
Is there any software that can do so, or which of those features are totally not supported so i have to throw them away?
Is there a software at all that supports at least parts of my ideas?
