I had a hard time with this too. turned out to be an issue with the ROM I was using... here's how it should work, if you have any issues I can help you on msn just add me pete(at)peteandsteph(dot)ca
1) browse the phone from the mac, it should discover a "network access point" when it browses the phone. make sure that's ticked, you can remove the other checkmark for use the phone as a modem.
2) click the bluetooth icon at the top right of your screen on the mac, scroll down to your phone, go over to "connect to network".
3) on the phone open internet connection sharing, choose bluetooth PAN as the method, then click connect.
4) surf the net from the mac.
*note, you can connect ICS before or after you connect to the phone from the Mac, it makes no difference.

thanks evader, but thats the opposite of what im looking for...i want to get internet on my phone using the internet from my mac, i do not have the data plan so i would like to make it work by having the bluetooth on my mac supply the internet...
im gunna install bootcamp and cuz im pretty sure i can get it to work the activesync because it will connect them for you...

I dont believe this works with the Touch, I know I got it to work with the Mogul

oh sorry, I used to do that with my treo 650 through missing sync. Might be worth looking into.

Touch Hd 3G vodaphone uk lose of connection

Hi guys,
Been looking around all day for a fix for this. I thought it was just a setting issue so have been try all kinds of setups from what vodaphone have on their website to what i have googled and still have the issue.
I can get on to the internet after a reboot but after a while it will lose connection and i will get two arrows one left and one right on top of each other instead of the normal "G" icon. As so as this happens i lose all connection to the internet and cannot get back on unless i reboot the phone a few times then the "G" icon comes back and the internet is back up and running.
Its my only grip so far with this phone everything else is great.
Any ideas
Damo

wierd. that sounds like the activesync icon...You're not connected to your PC via cable/bluetooth are you?
Stupid question I know, but best to get it out of the way.

oh my god i am such a noob, i did not know that when the usb connection is connected the interenetconnection stopped......hang is that right, should it still not connect to the internet?
Thanks
Damian

When you plug it into the PC, it will try and use the PC's internet connection.
On the PC, open activesync and go to file, connection settings.
Make sure that the option called This computer connects to is set to the internet.
Also, tick the box marked Allow wireless connections... then it should be able to connect while plugged in.
If you have vista and WMDC, these options should still be around, but as i have avoided vista like the plague, i can't tell you where they are cos i simply don't know.

Broken Wifi? And Skype not working?

Hi all I got the US HD2 when it first came out and since then I have been very happy with it. But just now for some reason it won't connect to my home wifi anymore. It worked this morning but then like an hour ago it just won't work. I did a hard reset and the problem still exists. Any chance that this is caused by maybe a overheat or anything like that? Or maybe it's time for me to go back to the store and get another one?
Also I tried so hard to get Skype for Windows Mobile working on it but no luck. I searched online and saw people saying it is working but for some reason it just won't connect at all. I managed to get to the login screen, type in the info and then click sign in. Then it just stayed at the Skype logging in screen with the rotating blue circle. After a minute or 2 an error pops up saying there is error connecting please check data connection. I tried to do this with wifi, 3g, and ActiveSync and they all got the same result. So anyone got any idea about why? I really need to have Skype working on my phone as I need to have a foreign number.
Thank you all

the other day I was trying to connect to wifi after trying to use the 'share internet' tethering option...and it just kept loading over and over (the wifi sign) and it would not connect....
I flashed it back to stock and then flashed it to the latest energy rom now it seems fine..but I have not tried the tethering option yet, maybe that has something to do with it... not sure..

I figured out the WiFi problem. It turns out that I turned turned the encryption of my router from tkip to aes by accident and the HD2 doesn't work on aes. But I am still having trouble connecting to Skype... Anyone got amy luck? Or perhaps can somebody who managed to get Skype working help me out a bit?

Here's my WiFi issue...
My HD2 shows that it is connected but there is no data flow. I have a Linksys WRT610n router which is PW secure. I also have a HTC S743 that connects with no issues. I'm having a WTF red alert here... any help would draw 2 quarts of blood from me for payment, which you could sell for crack money. Anyone?

Yeah I got it.. I slipped the sim card out and then reinsert it, I noticed it went in just a tad deeper, it did the trick. WiFi is now working. The world can continue to spin. Carry on...

HD2 suddenly stopped connecting to wi-fi.

I have no idea what caused it, but just tonight my phone stopped being able to connect to my home wifi. The wifi symbol in the status bar shows that it is connected, and the phone sees my router but when i try to activate skype it asks me if i would like to use a cellular connection as apparently my wifi does not exist.
Any ideas ?

reboot your modem and router, turn off wifi on the phone until it is back up, then reenable the phones wifi, see if that helps.

No dice. I reset both, the symbol shows me as being connected on the phone but when i load up Opera and try to go to a web page it says 'Connection closed' and Skype also isn't working.

Okay so that's strange. For some reason my HD2 set itself to a Static IP. I went into the Broadcom settings and changed to server assigned IP and it's working again.
Technology is a pain sometimes !

For some weird reason my does a similar thing about every 3-4 days. Nothing changes, it just decides to not connect however resetting the Netgear does the trick (not ideal but does the job).
Other dissapointing thing is often it cant pick up or has poor signal around the house in certain rooms but my wifes bloody Iphone picks up signal everywhere lol (i still convince her, the iphone is inferior)

SOLVED: wifi connected but no internet. Help

Hi guys I am having an anoying problem with my phone.
I connect my Wifi to and ad-hoc connections which works fine for all devices.
The connect is stable and almost 100% quality
The problem is that the phone doesn't have any data transfer, I can get online for but for only a few seconds like update Weather and open a page, then is like offline the Wifi stays connected.
I tried using both settings connects to internet and to work, I got the same problem.
Can please someone help, it must be a problem in the settings, I am new in WM phones

Have you checked if you need to put in a security code? Is signal strength ok? And sometimes you have to wait quite a while for the webpage to be downloaded.

I have WEP code inserted, the signal is very strong 90 to 100% I am really close to the source.
The pages open pretty fast but after some seconds it doesnt open anything neither Skype or Weather works but the connection stays on.
I even try static IP and still got the same issue, I wounder whats is the problem, Saturday I will connect it directly to router instead of an ad-hoc to see what the results may be.

I really need help with this... It is so anoying.
I do not understand, yesterday it worked all day, and today is not working only for a few seconds and the only thing I touch was trying to connect to a network in different place.
Does anyone have any idea? Any info could be useful

I think I just found problem. DNS It seems that the phone the last dns added. What I did now was to delete the dns numbers so the server may add it again. It is working again.

I'm sure your problem needs some helping, but you're posting in the wrong device forum for that. This is the Iolite section.
By the way, the original problem is solved already, so this is considered answered.
Closed.
