Is anyone using tethering, either via bluetooth or usb with their verizon 6800 and windows 7?
I used it all the time when i was using xp with my laptop, but havent been able to try it yet with the windows 7 RC partition.
I have a couple of issues which may give me problems, at least right now.
I'm currently overseas, and I dont have verizon service here (australia) so i cant play around and test out to see if i do get it setup and working.
What i want to know is what software and setup i should have on windows 7, or vista, cause i guess theyre probably closer to eachother than xp and 7 are, to allow me to use the ICS sharing in dcd 3.2.6.
i want to figure out how to test that i have it setup correctly, cause on my flight home which is in a week and a half, i have a layover in the san fran airport, and want to be able to use my laptop tethered there while I wait.
any similar situations or help would be great,
Thanks
Yes, I have used it via bluetooth. Assuming you have already paired the phone with the computer via bluetooth, just use the built in ICS from DCD rom, click on the bluetooth icon in the taskbar and click 'join a personal area network'. This is pretty much the same as windows XP.
yeah, ive paired it with the comp.
when i was on xp i used the built in dell bluetooth manager, and with windows 7 im using the devices and printers manager. I usually like to connect it with usb so i can keep it charged at the same time.
Hopefully everything works without me needing to download anything, cause i obviously wont have internet in the airport without it.
thanks
I've tried both standard ICS and WMWifiRouter (though not on XV6800) and works fine for me on every device I tried (see signature for a list, I tested most of them).
I've heard from various people that it doesn't work on Windows 7, but plugging it in (for USB) and just waiting a few minutes automatically starts driver installation process, wait a few minutes more and it'll just work.
I have noted that sometimes it does actually take a 10 minute wait before Windows 7 will wake up and realise it has some driver installation to do, but aside from that, 100% success rate here.
I have not tried BT on us many devices as USB, but seems to work everytime as well.

Ok, so I've had issues with vista and pam before, but I have a new one, that I can't find anything about on google, on here, or anywhere else so far. I have a laptop with vista 64 home premium that I can PAM with mogul's ICS using my phone or my wife's (both are on the unlimited PAM plan.) My wife's laptop runs vista 32 home premium, and both of our phones have an identical issue when trying to tether with it, meaning its not an issue with the phones. When connecting to PAM on her laptop, 7/10 time, it will go through the steps, and when the vista networking gets done with identifying, pulling an IP from the phone ICS, and checking for connectivity (which vista does by pinging a server by domain name to determine that the DNS is working in addition to the network being open) it will be up for a split second, then disconnect. Sometimes it will disconnect after Identifying, but before making the connectivity check. The rest of the time, it connects and works fine. We have tested other cables, and recently I tested it under safe mode with networking, and made my first progress.
Under Safe mode with networking, it will connect perfectly every time. The hard part now, is I do not know what program or device conflict could be causing it to disconnect immediately after completing connection. Has anyone had this issue and found any other programs or hardware to interfere?
I haven't had this proble in specific but I did have a problem with using ICS in vista to let my PS3 go online via my laptop using the mogule as my internet connection, in one instant it actually gave me the blue screen of death. I have to say that with Ubuntu and Vista the best way to use the phone as modem is to run ICS (on the phone) and hit connect (I'm speaking about the usb method) the phone will say check cable or something and then hook the cable up. This way has eliminated the quick disconnect witch i experience in Ubuntu a few times.
Hope this help
Hi Everyone,
I'm struggling to get mobile network sharing working on my Hero/Laptop.
I'm not sure if this is a problem with my phone, Orange UK or Windows 7 x86 RTM.
There's no problem activating Network Sharing on the phone itself, this works fine. I did have an issue where the driver wouldn't install but I resolved this by manually updating it using the Vista x86 driver that was installed with HTC Sync. It's now being shown in Device Manager in Windows 7 as a HTC Remote NDIS based Device.
So, you would think that I'd now have an internet connection through my phone........unfortunately not. The network point that the phone is providing is just getting stuck whilst 'Identifying' then ultimately doesn't connect.
Has anyone got any ideas what's happening and how to go about sorting it out. I work away from home quite a lot and most of the time, using my phone as a modem is the only way of connecting to the internet. When I had a WinMo phone, I didn't have this issue at all. It's the only issue I have with the Hero at the moment. If I can get it sorted out, it'll be the best phone around.
Any help would be appreciated.
Works for me, both with the original firmware and the new 2.73.405.5, on Fedora 11. For the record, I'm not on Orange. But your problem is that your computer apparently does not get its dhcp configuration from the phone, which does not have anything to do with the provider. Since you run a custom firmware, its not some sneaky Orange program either
Although I've never used it, I hear that there is an update for HTC Sync. Are you using that or the one that came with the phone?
Sorted it.........well I coudn't get Mobile Network Sharing to work but managed to do it quite easily in the end using the WiFi Tether app (that's part of the Modaco ROMs).
Doh.....never even though to try it out before now
Ive bought a netbook running windows 7 starter, now my hd2 wont connect with windows mobile device center.
I originally set up the pc synch(activesync) with an xp laptop and now it wont connect with the windows 7 netbook.
The phone is telling me to install activesync , but i cant because i have to install the newer windows mobile device center WTF
Ive deleted the old connections on activesync on my phone.
Is there something new to download to my hd2?
Any advice?
Thanks
windows mobile device centre does the same as activesync. it is the new name for activesync used on win 7.
i use the starter edition also on my netbook and cannot get mobile devicecentre installed for some weird reason. probably a problem on my netbook
started using ms myphone for the things i used mobiledevice centre for.
There must be way to connect the phone to a Windows 7 starter netbook.
I plan on doing a hard reset and want to preserve all my bookmarks, and also want to flash a ROM , I'm sure ill need to sync my phone to a computer for that?
The phone keeps telling me to install activesync on my pc even though I have to use wmdc.
When I reinstall wmdc on the netbook I keep getting an error and it won't install properly.
It says device manager not installed, or something like that .
It's a bloody mystery!
for flashing a rom you do not need activesync or mobile device centre. I flash my phone from my laptop without. just put the phone in bootloader and you can flash a rom as normal using the custom ruu. alternatively you can flash from memory card.
think ms myphone can backup that also but you have to check to make sure.
on my sig there is a flashing guide, in it there is a download for win 7 windows mobile device center run it and you should be good to go
this has been discussed so often, if you had taken the time to search there would be no need for that thread!
It so easy, just use windows update to download the driver and windows mobile center and that's it. If it doesn't work you are doing it wrong because it works for everybody else that way!

Leave ytour phone, as the problem appears to be with the netbook. make sure your netbook is not connected to the internet, then disable all the security and see if WMDC recognises your phone.
Thanks for the respones, ill try those tips when I get a chance later in the day.
Apologies for starting a new thread if its been discussed many times before.
Right, i think ive tried everything.
Hard reset my hd2
Uninstalled wmdc
Did every windows update available
re-installed wmdc with webroot antivirus turned off and internet access turned off.
And it still wont recognise the hd2
When its installing the driver on my netbook for the hd2 it keeps getting an error - it says "unidentified device : device unplugged" even though it is plugged in and screen is on.
The phone will connect to my netbook for the disk drive option and the internet sharing option, so i dont think its a problem with the hd2 usb connection
Its a real mystery, anyone out there able to crack this one?
have you tried this?
settings, menu, all settings, connections, USB to PC, uncheck "enable faster data sync", click done.
when I did that, my HD2 finally connected to PC after DAYS of trying!
Yep! I sure have
The computer is just is not seeing my phone with the the activesync option, but it is seeing the phone with both the disk drive and internet sharing options.
When i try un-install wmdc some errors keep popping up, i have to manually go into the task manager and kill 2 .exe active files otherwise it wont uninstall, very strange indeed
Maybe it could be a usb port issue, but i have tried all 3 usb ports on my netbook.
Hi pabloh999,
I potentially have a fix for you. I experienced the same errors as you tried all you have and eventually found a fix - by accident!
Set to airplane mode on & then off. After this my connections & syncs were fine.
Let us know how you go.

Tried that and - nothing!
Its just not recognising my phone, its saying "device unplugged"
I even turned off the charging function when plugged into a pc, just in case that was draining too much juice from the usb port.
No problem solvers out there??
I am thinking now it could be a problem with the usb ports on my netbook.
On one of my million attempts i got a windows error message saying that i should use a high speed usb port, and it gave me a list of "high speed" usb ports on my computer.
I dont know how to use this information because it doesnt physically show which of my 3 usb ports is the "high speed one(s)"
I thought the three of them are the same?
I tried updating the usb drivers to no avail
Fu**ing pissin me off!
Sync with Win 7
Same problem here, Tried everything on the web and on XDA and still cant sync.
Is this a Microsoft Problem, Oh by the way dont agree with d3l1
Ican still sync with my old XP laptop, but my new Win 7 is crap... (Both are Asus machines)
Any pointers would be welome. Ta.
I've had this problem before but I forgot how to fix it
My internet went out about three hours ago so I'm posting from my phone. I'd really like urgent help as I have a job over the internet and I can't do it as long as my computer doesn't have internet.
When I use WMWifirouter with Windows 7, it seems to connect but it eventually shows the yellow triangle warning sign with the message "no internet access" next to the network name. I used to have this working both as a Wifi receiver and a 3g adapter, but one day it just stopped working. I really, really need help tethering my phone ASAP
If you need any other info just ask
Urgent??
You came to ask if someone would help you install an app designed for Windows Phone 6.5 onto an operating system that has no official apps and is not even released yet, and that you hacked onto your phone.
Would you like sugar with that? One lump or two?
If I find anything useful, I'll post it, lol.
What the hell are you talking about? Windows 7 is out and I see people using it on laptops at school. Also, I'm running the application on my phone and connecting it to my computer via USB. Make sure you know what you're talking about before you reply
I have my internet back, but I'd still like to know how to do this since this most likely will happen again

You're thinking he's running Windows Phone 7...he's referring to Windows 7...on his laptop.
doh
Reading is fundamental, my apolgies
Hi, I have the same problem, i am trying to get internet connection on my windows 7 laptop in work usink ICS and/or trial wmrwifirouter. Both ways, i get connection, either to wi-fi or usb, end also to 3G network on phone, but connection icon displays yellow triangle warning no internet access.
- in my next step i ran it on my virtual windows xp machine - the same thing
- I also noticed that pinging google.com resolved IP address, but requests timed out
Something very strange...
I just bought a T-Mobile HD2, and I just plugged it in to my desktop to begin modding... Strange thing is, my desktop is having a hell of a time keeping up with the phone. I can never get a USB connection on it. I ended up having to do all the hacking on my Macbook Pro running Windows 7 in Bootcamp. So the issue is that when I connect it to my desktop which natively runs Windows 7, the phone charges, but Zune and the Mobile Device Center both report that the phone is not connected. And to make things even more aggravating, every time I connect the phone, my wifi connection on the desktop drops off. As soon as I disconnect the phone, wifi eventually comes back with some prompting. What am I doing wrong??
sounds like as screwed up machine to be honest
could be, but I've seen others with this same problem as well. If it is my machine, maybe someone knows what I can do to fix it?
