wi-fi router in hd2 working?

Anybody used the wi-fi router option on the hd2 to connect their pc to internet? I have startet the application and it says running, but no wi-fi router is found on mine or my colleagues computers. I tried the same thing with the wifi hotspot app for iphone, and that worked as a charm.
Just wondering if anyone else has got it working at all?

I've not been able to get a PC to see my phone, but friends have been able to see and use it on their iPhones.

I am using a Leo ROM on my Diamond 2 and it works for me.... can't wait to get my HD2!

Mine not.
Notebook see it. Connection between them establish but i cant browse
error
"The page cannot be displayed"

Works without problems on my notebook (Windows Vista). I've done nothing special with the settings.

works great with me ,,, win vista ..
HTD HD2

works great with me ... windows 7..
HTD HD2
I've connected 2 notebook without problems!

Well, now it works like a dream! Dont know what was wrong earlier today, but a couple soft restarts seems to have made it work!
thanks for all replies

Mine's an O2 phone that came without the WiFi Router app installed on the ROM. I downloaded and installed Tom Condon's HTC WiFi cab from and it works well. The only thing that I don't have (yet) is the shortcut to the WiFi Router app from the Comm Manager interface.

Is this the one from the Bowman Pack? I have installed this and it doesn't work. Can you give a link to the cab you installed? Ta!
*Edit....this *does* work but the range is abysmal, the HD2 has to be sat on top of my laptop in order for it to work.

I heard O2 ripped the wifi app and drivers out of their ROM (not 100% sure). If thats the case you could always flash the Official HTC ROM which will restore wifi, clear a load of horrible O2 branding and add Youtube app Check out this Tutorial on how to do it.
By the way I've use the Wifi app and my Linux and Windows PC/laptops can all detect and connect to the phone. Handy if your out of cable...but unsecure due to WEP.

I had the YouTube app on my O2 ROM. I've now flashed with the latest official HTC ROM and WiFi Router is now fully installed.

I've found that name of Wi-Fi router needs no space !!! so, my computer could found it now...

been using wifi tethering with win7 64bit laptop no probs - nice function to have.

I tried to use, but can't see it neither in a XP nor a Vista!!!

my computer could'nt see it too

I could see and connect but no connectivity to the internet
Assigning IP took about 1 min

I can confirm it works fine for me, on an unbranded device.

It worked for me but only when I switched off my home broadband wifi router.

They may have been using the same channel, which would mean that the stronger signal would drown out the weaker one. I'd expect a home router to have a stronger signal so that would make sense. You can change the channel that your home wifi router uses, if this is an issue for you.

Wifi Router and the PS3...

Hi everyone!
Ok first of all I am a noob at certain things
Anyways, I have a problem
The Wi Fi router app is well known, i'm sure
I use it to connect my laptop to my HD2's 3 Internet...all's well
However, when I use it, my laptop will see it, so will my dad's, but my PS3 WON'T!!! :$
Any ideas please?

I dont think the PS3 supports ADHoc connection types, therefor they dont show up on the list.
That's the only type of connection you can set the WiFi router up as on the HD2, sorry.

Thank you Ashleigh

No probs, however if your on 3, then why not pick up one of their PayG MiFi routers, think they are about 50 quid now and use your 3 Sim in it.

what about the PSP? ad-hoc multiplayer is used on it so would it be possible to use thehd2 to play online anywhere?

Good idea Let me try this out Thank god I own a psp too

Damn...PSP is a noob -_- It didn't work LOL! But my Touch Pro 2 and Blackstone discovered it...so it's not entirely useless. Btw I found a solution! I connect the phone to my laptop, either through the cable or the Wifi app, and thus the laptop has internet. Then, I connect a LAN TCP wire connecting my laptop and PS3. Then I share the internet connection between the PS3 and the laptop. Modern Warfare 2 is quite playable online, with 3 bars of connectivity! Ps. Enabling the Draft N registry hack helped the speed from 2 bars to 3 (out of 4)

ppc and wifi-internet sharing question on pc.

i have a huge problem ..well here's the thing,i have pc without wifi but there i have a ppc(xperia x1) which has a wifi..so i want to use my ppc to scan wifi networks on my pc(connection : ppc with wifi on>usb>pc)..this is needed because i want to crack down that locked networks,i cant do that on x1 because i havent found any good wifi pen-testing tools.
i have tryed this showthread.php?t=341398 but its so hard to understand ..
pls help me,post links or something .
(sorry if it is in worng section..)
what i want to do is basiclly have wifi on the pc using the pda's built in antenna...

http://www.wmwifirouter.com/

i already have that but i dont know how to make it work...

That depends on ISC compatibility. Many devices can't share from 3g data to wifi properly.

That, and this should work, but your PC should have WIFI to search.

i dont have wifi on pc -.-
what i want to do is basiclly have wifi on the pc using the pda's built in antenna... so i was wondering if it is possible to make the pda some sort of adapter for the pc to use via usb/bluetooth?(i want to search for some wifi networks through that connection,i will try to crack wep key )

Wifi to USB
Ok, i was searching for the same, but not to crack wep key ...anyway i found this. ICS Control, it has a lot of settings and looks like its made for experts but it will work for you.
I can not test it at the moment but what i get from that post, it does the job!

lysdexical said:
Yes. I guess I should point that out as that is probably what people want to do with it. It should be able to share between any set of adapters. The common ones of course would be:
Cellular to Wifi,
Cellular to Bluetooth PAN,
Cellular to USB.
But it should also work with more "interesting" combinations like:
VPN to Wifi - get wireless clients onto a VPN
Wifi to Bluetooth - allow bluetooth network devices to access a WLAN.
Wifi to USB - basically the pda acts as a wireless network card for the pc

Htc hero internet help required

Hi there
i am new to android i recently purchase htc hero prior to this i was using htc raphael touch pro
my query is
in my touch pro i was able to surf internet on my mobile through my pc using the active sync from my pc
is there any way through which i can use my adsl internet from my pc to my htc hero
please help

If I was at my PC, I'd use my PC for the internet!
But hey, horses for courses eh.
No its not something I've heard anyone mention before. I take it you don't have WiFi then?
May be worth investing.

From my understanding he wants to do the opposite,... The hTC link is to use your phones data connection to connect your PC to internet,... I think they want to use their PC's internet connection to be able to surf on the phone?

ahh okay, my bad.
if the pc has a wireless card but the router isn't, you can set up an ad-hoc wireless network - but thats not something I have done on my hero, only with my elfs.
I'll have a look and see what I can find on my lunch break

OK,... So what CaptainStu says might be possible,... try to do a little research yourself if you can and post back what you find,... Just to save CaptainStu some legwork.

done a bit of googling on my lunch -
http://android.modaco.com/content/t...704/reverse-tethering-and-the-t-mobile-pulse/ post 9 may be of use - but I don't know if you are using a Linux PC. I haven't tried myself, but it is interesting to see what can happen.

Connecting My Phone To The Internet via Computer

Hello,
I am using an X10i. I've been wondering, are there any ways i can connect my phone to the internet using my computer's modem?
I am not trying to connect my computer to the internet by using my phone as a modem. Do not teach me how to do it. My question and that question are two different questions.
Thanks.

If u have a mac u can use its wirless as a hotspot if u connect it with internet cable. I do that for my phone. Hope this helps
Cheers
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

yeah ,turn your pc into a wifi hotspot..use softwares like virtual wifi router for windows 7
Note:it will work only if u use a cable to connect ur pc and have a jobless wifi in your pc..
you can also connect using bluetooth,i tried once but failed ,didnt tried much,it wasnt worth that much effort!!

pls dont be naive... not every wifi card supports wifi hotspot even with special applications and tools, and the native windows 7 could make only ad-hoc whis is not supported by android 2.1 or 2.2 as I know...I've read many forums and finaly bought wifi router and what I can say its that its really worth to have it...

yeah wifi card also imp..but most modern laptops and PC are quipped with such wifi cards
I can always use my Vaio for wifi hotspots with my X10..never faced any problems!!

It's not possible through USB. It possible with the stock function of win7 or software for your pc. (Only if you got wireless wifi card in it ofcourse)

FYI I no you didn't want to use your phone as a modem but just in case this is the best way Barnacle Wifi [email protected] http://szym.net/barnacle/ It's not in the market. Just a FYI.

I wonder why there isn't still an app which lets you use your pcs internet through bluetooth?

I'm using Windows 7 native wifi sharing right now, it broadcasts as a regular wifi network with WPA-2. I use it for phones, consoles, etc

Because it will eat batter, no far distance supported and your internet will be ssssssssssssssssssssuper slow.

^^^This is true. At 2.1Mb/sec of throughput, the Bluetooth will be the slow cog in that wheel of connection.

AGAIN!!! Not every wifi card support it!!! I ve tried ale possibilities (ad hoc, bridge) without succeed...with ipod touch 2G, samsungs i8510, i8910 everything worked, so the problem is only with X10 and android!!! You could make wifi hotspot only with newer or supported cars (my NTB is 3 years old and has unsupported intel wifi card) so this is the deal...

It is possible on an HTC phone, so I'm a bit surprised that there isn't an app to allow us to do this.

I wasn't arguing that all cards support it, I was just saying that when it IS compatible with your card, it isn't adhoc.

Try using Connectify on your computer. It is free. If it manages to create the hotspot on your wireless card, your mobile will be able to use the new hotspot connection created. It has worked for at least 3 of my friends and it enables me to share connections on my laptop no matter where I am.
