HTC TYTN and Linux (Suse)

[PeekNPoke]

Hi All,

Does anybody know how to get the TYTN working as a modem on a Suse box ? I 've tried bluetooth and USB in it's modem mode. In either mode it makes no difference. It's as if it's not even detecting the phone as a modem via USB and in bluetooth mode it shows all the features available but wants to download them as a file when clicked on .. I'm seriously confused.

Any help will be appreciated.

I am not toooo clued up on the Linux front ...
I take it you have activated the Wireless Modem application on the device .. and you can access the internet from the device ....
Do you have an application to sync the device on your PC ???

Yip ... the TYTN is set into wireless modem mode via the methods described above ...

sjoe, linux unfortunately confuses me. Your best bet is to register on the forum.xsa-developers.com and ask there. Go to the Hermes thread and do a search there.

So your PC doesnt pick up that you have a modem connected to it ... What is your Linux machine supposed to do when you connect a modem to it ??

Thanks dotVIBE, I'll definitely try that link.

Yip .. it looks like the machine is ignoring the USB device. Normally linux will pop up a window informing you that it detected a new device. This is not the case with my TYTN. So ... I imaging it's going to be a lot of RTFM for me

HTC TyTN as bluetooth modem in Linux

Hi

On my OpenSuSE Linux 10.2 I got it working the following way:

Get the ID for your phone:
# sdptool search DUN
Inquiring ...
Searching for DUN on 00:121:F8:31:19 ...
Service Name: Dial-up Networking
Service RecHandle: 0x10005
Service Class ID List:
"Dialup Networking" (0x1103)
Protocol Descriptor List:
"L2CAP" (0x0100)
"RFCOMM" (0x0003)
Channel: 3
Language Base Attr List:
code_ISO639: 0x656e
encoding: 0x6a
base_offset: 0x100
Profile Descriptor List:
"Dialup Networking" (0x1103)
Version: 0x0100

Using the information provided, link the phone to /dev/rfcomm0
# rfcomm bind 0 00:121:F8:31:19 3

You should now have a /dev/rfcomm0 device.

My /etc/wvdial.conf looks like this:
# cat /etc/wvdial.conf
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/rfcomm0
Baud = 115200
Init1 = ATS0=0
Init2 = AT
Init3 = ATE0V1&D2
Init4 = ATS7=60L1M1X3
Init5 = at+cgdcont=1,"IP","internet"
Area Code =
Phone = *99#
Username = JHB
Password =
Ask Password = 0
Dial Command = ATDT
Stupid Mode = 1
Compuserve = 0
Force Address =
Idle Seconds = 300
DialMessage1 =
DialMessage2 =
ISDN = 0
Auto DNS = 1

To connect to the internet, run
#wvdial

hold on .. there is a command called Stupid Move = 1 ... nice one ..

 

[JHB]

There is a good reason for the Stupid Mode = 1 command.
You have to ask Linux to dumb down a little, so that it can speak to Windows

Hi JHB.

I've been battling for a week now. I've read almost every document I could find regarding setting up similar devices on the web, but still no luck ... I've now got my TYTN connected with USB and did do a modprobe serialusb with the right vendor and product ID's I got with lsusb. The device seems to be connected on ttyUSB0 (and this is right!). But what happens if I try and use wvdial is that it tells me the modem is not responding.

I find this very frustrating ... any ideas / tips / tricks will be highly appreciated.

 

[JHB]

Sorry PeekNPoke,

I have only used Bluetooth so far.
I will see if I can get it working via USB.
