I used to be able to tether using my old ROM as well as the "un-official" new ROM versions prior to the recently released ROM update dated 4/09/07.
I use Missing Sync (ver 3.0.2) on OS X, and it would allow me to tether the 8525 using internet sharing set to USB. Now the only way I am able to tether is via the Bluetooth PAN, and even then the connection is spotty at best.
Did the official ROM change the way Internet Sharing works? This is very annoying and any assistance or ideas would be welcome.
I downgraded from the CUSTEL 2.5 WM6 ROM due to Missing sync's inability to sync with it as well as an inability to tether my Mac. Vista using Bootcamp works but Vista isn't my cup of tea...
Soon...
In a couple of weeks time you will have a solution to your problems with Apple OS X and Microsoft Windows Mobile. (Hint: it's not free.)
I am assuming that this would the much anticipated Missing sync update. If only I could shorten the wait... oh well.
Thanks.
Not really. Trade your 8525 for the iPhone!
bluetooth pan
something must be wrong with your phone because I use Bluetooth pan with internet sharing at work, in my car, at home and it works just fine. I even thought about ditching the Internet at home

I do it too. All the time. Is AWESOME from the car, especially in a a 3G area. (Parked, not driving.)
i can't even connect my 8525 to my mac via bluetooth. it worked once and now the phone won't open up the passcode screen to connect.
edit: my rom is version 1.34.502.3. should i update to a newer one?
I think its the location that I am at that may be to blame. I have a really slow connection via Bluetooth PAN. The same isn't true when using Vista and Internet sharing via USB - that connection is much faster (though it too blanks out at times).
As for connecting to OS X: simply start the Bluetooth setup assistant on the mac and search for "any device". Then select the phone and pair the two. At the very end of the process the Mac will list the services that are available via the phone. One of them will be the shared network.

yeah, it stalls after i select it from the device list. the screen where it gives me the passcode to connect it, it seems like my phone doesn't receive it. not sure. but you think i should upgrade the rom? looks like mine is kinda old.
I'm posting with OSX using my phone right now
delete the bluetooth pairing on the osx machine and on the phone
from osx bluetooth assistant and select any device
if it asks about using the phone as a headset disselect that
if the phone once pairs asks about a serial device do not select that
verify if bluetooth still is on on the phone
goto internet sharing
bluetooth pan
connect
make sure its actually connected to the internet
on the osx machine click the bluetooth icon again and select "join network on ___your phones name____ "
thats it!
sometimes give it a second
if it still doesn't work make sure you don't have some kind of crazy firewall setup
using Custel's 2.5 rom (windows mobile6)

Hi,
Some weeks ago I tryed to use MissingSync for internet sharing with different WM6 versions without success. With official AKU3.3.1 version it works with the USB cable. But battery life is very short with this version.
Regards.
Yes, missing sync does not yet support WM6. Try the "normal" bluetooth pan method described above.
Anyone tried doing OS X tethering with newer versions of the WM6 roms?
I'm currently running vp3G 2.0 (WM6), rom date 5/15/07, radio 1.40.30.00, protocol ver. 32.73.7020.16H
Because I'm working offsite tomorrow, I was hoping to use my phone to tether my laptop to work with VPN on the laptop... and then I can login and out of the timeclock, etc. But trying it from work tonight before I leave, I can't get the bluetooth on my 8525 to connect to the PC.
Followed Neomuzic's instructions to the letter, but Safari isn't getting things working. Any assistance would be appreciated!!!
Nevermind... I'm a dork! Figured out where Internet Sharing was on the phone, and all is well. Having a little trouble connecting to my work proxy server... but messing with that now.

As of August2007, Missing Sync 4 supports WM6.

Hello all,
I usually dont post much since i rarely have anything to contribute, but this time I do. I am running a macbook connected to my cingular 8525 thru the bluetooth pan and have zero problems. I upgraded my rom to the new vp one with all the latest settings and love it. No more looking for a hotspot for me. I dont use safari broswer on my mac, i use firefox. Thanks to everyone on this forum with the knowledge and time for helping the rest of us.
What i do is connect my JasJam to xp running through parallels, start internet sharing and it installs the drivers(first time of connecting it) and then it works perfectly everytime. Only in xp though.
I have installed the latest missing sync but havent tried internet sharing on mac osx but now that u guys say it works thats awesome! Will mess with it later (knowing me i won't attempt to get it to work until i'm off in some foriegn area with no internet connection and will need to download drivers that i'll struggle to get through pie/opera on my jasjam...) i fail to plan ahead with things like this! lol

Tethering 8525 to MACBOOK. HELP.
I tried several different approaches to tether my 8525 to my MACBOOK, with no success.
I have specific scripts from the web installed into the modem scripts folder. No luck with any of them. I believe the scripts aren't the problem but the COM ports are the culprit.
I recieve an error message that says," Failed to open RFCOMM serial channel. Check if authentication needs to be enabled in your device"
This is after pairing the 8525 to the MACBOOK and completing the blue tooth setting in the Network folder in the System Preference folder.
The pairing is successful because I can "send files" to the 8525 via blue tooth icon.
I read somewhere that the MACBOOK should allow me to set and choose COM ports but I haven't found the option.
My question is where do I find the COM port option in the MACBOOK because I believe that is where my problem is.
MACBOOK C2D, OS 10.4.10.
8525 ROM: 2.15.502.3

Hi guys
It's been a while since I posted to the forum and I apologise if this question has already been asked.
I have an MDA Vario II with a T Mobile web&walk 3G internet connection.
My question:
My notebook PC has wireless networking, is it possible for me to wirelessly connect my notebook to the internet using the 3G connection on my MDA Vario II?
Cheers
John
Yes...
Asking a question you havn't bothered to search for isn't excused by appologising for not searching at the beggining of the question... its only marginly less anoying.
google: your question
or
google: your question site:xda-developers.com
should help you out.
Cheer up!
Who said I didn't do a search?
yep possible, but against the terms and conditions on £7.50 W&W.
you need to turn off the active sync on your laptop tho, well i had too!
allowed

I joined as a business user when I bought my MDAIII and when I upgraded to the MDA Vario 2 I managed to get the flext 20 package (£34 allowance for calls and texts) with unlimited usage and web n walk pro enabling me to use anything I want as much as I want for as long as I want and I pay £25.49 per month. I can use skype (although I rarely use the chat and never use it for actual calls as no one I know uses it anyway).
I found the rick was that they mucked things up for me so many times when I switched contracts that each time they gave me a discount. I dont think I am getting that good a deal now but at the time it wasnt bad.
I do use my MDA as a mode for my very small JVC laptop quite reguarly and its very good. I have only been unable to do it once and that was near wrexam
Um, isn't the answer to this that you can't do it using the Wifi, but you can using Bluetooth or USB.
With BT is was reasonably easy in WM5, in WM6 you need a laptop BT stack which implements BT PAN properly (mine doesn't) so I just wire them together.
USB is considerably faster - I get 850kbs in London.
As for it being against the T&Cs of basic WnW, a lot of people seem to get away with it once in a while, but hammering it with big downloads is bound to get you a slap.

Does your JVC connect to the modem in the MDAIII wirelessly?
Can you briefly explain what I need to achieve this?

If you have flashed a WM6 rom it's a doddle, you just run Intenet Sharing on the handset and tell it to use USB, hit connect and it disconnects Activesync automatically and sets up a network access point on the laptop. For a minute I thought I'd accidently picked up a mac, it "just works".
In WM5 it's a right old pain, you have to set up a dial-up account for the handset, tell it to dial something (?) and run the modem program on the handset. I'd upgrade if you haven't done so already, it's one of the big pluses of WM6.

No I keep a mini usb retractable cable with me for when I need it (doubles as charger in car or home etc). Wonderful as my laptop is it doesn't have bluetooth connectivity and its as easy to wire as it would be to get a bluetooth dongle. I just found the instructions here and it works fine.
Hello,
Iam using the DonSalari TF3D2 4.7 ROM together with Radio 1.17.25.09
I tried to use this App for Wifi Sharing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538874&highlight=sharing
Actually I can connect to the WiFi but I have no Internet Connection with this.
How can I solve the problem?
Is there a better utility for Sharing Internet over WiFi?
Regards,
sapphire_pro
I'm also very interesting in that particular case. Because, my Diamond isn't recognized when I plug it on a PC (mine or work, with different cable and with different OS)
My research found those things:
http://www.smartphonemag.com/cms/blog/9/the-multiplatform-bible-using-your-handset-a-modem
- WalkingHotSpot (Not free)
- WMWifiRouter (Not free) but I tried and say it works well...but trial expired
- ICS Control (Free) but seems a little bit harder to setup, I have to look in details...
Hope this will help

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?

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.
If I have a laptop and I am a passenger using it in a car, can I take out the T-mobile USA version of the HD2 and have my laptop connect to it to access the internet (using the phone as a router)?

May be not out of the box but you can always update it with a custom rom and get the option to use it as a router

With this Cab installed it can I believe:
http://bwone.com/downloadsthebowmanpackpro2.zip
Take the cab file in the zip and put it on your phone then install.
you can connect the hd2 to the laptop with the usb cable and choose the built in internet sharing application or share via bluetooth. wifi router is a paid program but also excellent program since it turns the hd2 into a wireless router.
It's sad that they've seem to have taken out the native HTC Wifi Router app that was built into the Euro version of this phone...

Yeah, but you can still install the application file in the USA T-mobile version of the HD2 right?
reclaim wifi router with hard reset?
My Tilt had the native internet sharing option hidden. I received advice from this forum to do a "hard reset" followed immediately on boot up by a soft reset. It was great it took off all the AT&T garbage programs and gave back the Internet Sharing and other at&t blocked tools.
Will that work here on the T-Mobile HD2? And how?

Download the file in the 3rd post in this thread...unzip it on your desktop...copy the HTC WIFI sharing cab file to your HD2 SD Card...use the file explorer on your hd2 to navigate to the SD card...install...surf
Using the Wifi router cab worked flawlessly last week while I was in Vegas. I was using it with my macbook air and no problems.
so this only works for sharing a wifi connection, or will it work for using the cellular network as well?

When you use the WiFi Router Application, it turns your HD2 into a access point. The HD2, now an access point gets connectivity from your 3G/Edge/GPRS Data Connection and transfers it to the device ( notebook,desktop,etc) you connect to the HD2 Router application.
Simply put, you are using the HD2's data(internet) without having to connect cables.
Hope this helps clear things up for you
Thank you,
Monnie
sweet! this is what I was looking for.. did TMo include this application, or does it need to be installed from a separate source?
anyone try it on a mac yet? how is that set up?
edit: nevermind.. this isn't for "tethering"- it's for using your device as a wifi "hotspot", right? so I just open airport and tell it to connect to the name of my hd2 network connection...

I wanted the wifi tethering as well, but when I installed wifi-sharing cab it kind of wigged out my phone a little. No longer allowing me to use wifi on my phone it was thinking I was trying to launch the app and would not connect to my home router. So now I use the Internet Sharing App that comes with the phone. It is super easy to use with no side effects. All you need is a USB. Just go to start/tools/internet sharing. and bingo!

First, try changing the SSID (network name) on the phone...don't use whatever it defaults to, try "pandanet" or something.
Second, I know there's a couple of cabs floating around for the wifi router thing, the one I have attached here is the only one I got working properly..don't know if this is the same one you used or not.
