thank you so much, sometimes the ones who can read have a clear advantage…..

I found just this site and did not even klick any other link on your page.
My sync has just finished and now i got all my contacts on the phone.

Kindest regards

Christoph

you don’t need a plugin to sync the K800i anymore‚ÄîApple added native support.

i used your plugin some months ago just to check if it works, and it did perfect, at least i had the K800i in isync, i didnt actually synced it, because of some other reason.

At this time i was using isync 2.3. My whole adressbook data was on a Power Book and i copied it today on my mac i¬¥m writing on now…..

In between i updated my OS to 10.4.9 including icync 2.4. Today i was going to sync my mobile fon with your plugin the first time, but before isync really opened i got the message, that isync cannot run, because the plugin does not work with this version of isync. I can show the screenshot if someone likes….

Is there a newer version of your plugin available or am i doing something wrong? I was able to run it under isync 2.3….. It must be the version update.

I also read that there was some guy with a MBP who simple just made it…..

What can i do now? Any help 4 me?

Thanks in advance….

It’d be terribly expensive to use with my prepaid contract‚ÄîI’m waiting for the iPhone, I’m going to upgrade then. Hopefully it supports being used as a modem

My next step is to download the modem script from the website I referenced above and see if that will help. I’ve brought my Mac to work today, so if I get a gap I’m gonna install the script and check it out.

Let me know if it does the trick for you!

I’ve been searching around on the net some more and I found the following site:

http://www.taniwha.org.uk/

Ross Barkman has written modem scripts for various phones and you can download them there. Anyway, on the site he gives the following warning:

Warning for OS X and GPRS: one of OS X’s default settings causes problems with many GPRS networks. If you get disconnections after only a few seconds, turn off “Send PPP echo packets” in System Preferences:Network:PPP:PPP Options.

This sounds like the problem I’m having. I’ll check tonight at home whether it does the trick!

Thanks again

the few times I tried to go online with my MacBook Pro and the K800i there wasn’t any problem at all‚Äîonce the connection is established, it just works fine.

If you want to use your mobile as a modem you have to use bluetooth, USB isn’t supported.

I’d try the following now:

• Delete your K800i from the bluetooth preference pane in your system preferences
• Re-configure it
• Try again to establish a connection to the internet

I have no idea why your connection screwed up like this, but maybe it helps to undertake the steps mentioned above.

I’ve recently (1 1/2 weeks ago) got a macbook and a sony ericsson K800i (yes, it was a big week for me!). The first time I connected the phone to my mac via bluetooth it syncd immediately and copied over all my phone numbers etc to Address Book, no worries. Needless to say, I was impressed!
But now I’m trying to use my K800i as a modem with the mac. I tried it for the first time last night and it was working fine, until I got a message that said the bluetooth network has disconnected unexpectedly. From then on it kept giving the same message about 30 secs after I connect the two up. File transfers work perfectly, but not the bluetooth network. So I figured I’ll just use the USB cable that came with the phone. So I plugged it in to the mac and selected Phone mode on the phone, but the mac didn’t pick anything up.
Do you have any idea 1) why the bluetooth keeps dropping 2) how to set up my phone as a modem on the mac, using the USB cable?
I’m new to Macs, so don’t really know where to look/what to do!

Thanks!!

W.

the people over at feisar indicate that their plugins work with an internal bluetooth module as well as Apple supported hardware.

One USB bluetooth plug that is known to work is the D-Link DBT-120 USB Bluetooth Adapter:

If you use this adapter, it should work. Before I got my MacBook Pro with onboard bluetooth, I used this USB dongle (with another phone) and it worked perfectly.
