I wish you guys luck in sorting that out -- sure wish I could help. Gr8wing, one thing to consider is the PDAnet application, which works great -- but it does cost $35 (after a 7 day trial period).
One thing to consider when posting that is routinely ignored around here, and to the significant detriment of the discussion, is being very specific in your terminology. People are using terms in a way that makes it very hard to know what they are saying or what they are asking about, and that's not a good thing.
For instance, gr8wing, you said "I am also having problems using my phone as a modem. I pay the $39/mo for the service." Sentences that include this many nonspecific terms basically make it impossible to give meaningful answers. Here's why:
1.) You don't say who your provider is, so it is hard to say what rules and conditions may come along with the way you use your Q.
2.) You don't say what "the service" is -- the $39/month unlimited data plan (Verizon), a $39/month surcharge for using your Q as a modem, some other $39/month fee, perhaps you're in Canada, etc. The more specific you are, the more people will be able to help.
3.) Are you trying to use your phone as a modem (e.g. as a traditional phone modem to dial in to an ISP like Earthlink) or as a broadband access point (e.g. high speed using the Q's data plan)? Your terminology makes it difficult for people to know which.
My point isn't to pick on gr8wing, but rather to make a general point about this forum. For new readers, it is damn near impossible to understand what is going on in many of the conversations because people are not using clearly-defined terminology. For a universe as complex as the Motorola Q (with all its registry hacks, applications, connections, and such), it just makes sense to use complex terminology. |
