Hi Imua,
Thank you for all the tips. The sequence of actions weren't really helping. I decide to remove the USB modem configs and the dialup networking config and let the system redetect the modem and let the dialer auto setup the dialup networking. That worked.

On trial and errors testing out various config changes I found that the key cause of my XP popping out the Error 692 is when I disabled Modem Compression at any end whether one and not the other or both (meaning the setting at modem properties in the Control Panel and the modem properties in the Dialup networking sections).

The fact is Modem Compression must be enabled on the Control Panel modem properties for the HTC USB modem and the modem properties in the corresponding dialup networking configuration.

Typically on normal modems, one should prefer to enable software compression over hardware/modem compression for better performance, if software compression is available. So I typically disables the use of modem compression. However it seems that the HTC modem, whether hardware or driver need to have the modem compression turned on regardless.

Well there you go. Hopefully the above findings can help anyone else in the same situation.

Cheers!

Hi Imua,
:-) My case is like the opposite of yours :-) Worse, I can't even hardly connect to my 818 as a USB modem. Well, I found my Dopod CD and reinstalled the device as a USB modem whilst pointing to the CD's USBMDM.INF file. After all the hoopla, still same case, when trying to connect to EDGE my XP says Error 692, There's a hardware failure in the modem. From control panel I can query the modem but can't dial. Hmnn....
any one else seen this prob?

Hi Imua,
Well, I upgraded by notebook's bluetooth stack to a new one that supports Bluetooth spec 1.2. I'm using HP NC6000. I can be online through my 818 via bluetooth and EDGE for hours on end, of coz with my device wired to power. In fact I'm writing this via this very connection now and been up for more than 1 hour already.

Btw, are you using WinXP? I am. I can't recall back then if I've added the USB driver from the Dopod CD. Usually I don't, I like to find and download the latest from the manufacturer if available. I'll try dig out that CD and try then.

Cheers :-)

Hmm, this tool's build has been updated pretty frequently the last few days, I've stopped downloading & trying em till perhaps a later version. But pretty cool tool nevertheless and works ok on the 818 Pro, only if after a fresh restart and nothing has had a hold onto the SD yet.
