I know i know, the CDMA version of the vogue didnt come with the hardware.
but i read on a forum that someone tried loading the network car/wifi drivers for the bluetooth radio, and they said it worked but barely. and truth to this? anyone try doing this? Or is anyone with a spare vogue willing to do this?
I think bluetooth 3.0 is going to support wifi, the only other option is one of those SD wifi cards, unsure if they operate in Android, but since we have to run off an SD card I guess its not an option :<
Parth, where did you read this? I have never heard of this before.
what i do thats wifi-esque is set up my usb receiver to share the internet via bluetooth so that i have decent connection speed (reception in my apartment sux, so this works well)

How do you do that ?
I've got a Bluetooth USB emitter but never managed to share my internet connection through it.
I second that request for info, this sounds interesting.

Hi,
I was searching the forum but haven't found any useful info about that.
Do you know any WM5 software which can change TyTN into wireless router ?
Something like WModem, but using 3G and WiFi in the same time.
My idea is to come back home, plug the charger into my phone , run WRouter and have wireless internet connection everywhere in the flat from my mobile connected to 3G web'n'walk T-Mobile network.
What do you think ?
Cheers,
BenOne
IMHO -
no way
no driver support for that
AFAIK no application
why? power consumtion on highest power setting is terrible, and battery is soon completelly depleted, there is also neecesary to left charger in phone...
if you need wifi router (w/ NAT, firewall, VPN...) you can buy inexpensive router for few bucks and it is more compatible, more stable, more usefull, more secure, far better manageable etc...
yeah right, but for what another device if I have one ?
I am charging my tytn everyday, you know how it eats battery...
just wanted to know, it could be quite useful. cheers
U can use bluetooth on the tytn as a router with a reg hack u can connect more then one computer, not the same range and speed but it is possible.
yeah but then everybode have to have bluetooth in their notebooks. we have 3 laptops in the flat and nobody has bluetooth in it. but what then ? everybody are connecting using dial-up, like thorugh normal usb cable, but instead of it, thorugh bluetooth ?
now we have like that - I am commin back home, connect tytn to my laptop, dial-up, and wireless in my laptop is ad-hoc configured, so everybody are connecting to my machine, and modem (tytn) is shared. if tytn has wireless, I thought, that I don't have to leave my laptop all the time turned on. It could be great to leave connected to charger and that's all. All the internet and local home network could be through that. If there was a linux distribution for this phone I am pretty sure this option would be one of main in netwokr configuration...
anyway thx. just wanted to know if there is any piece of soft for that...
benOne
have you seen this official htc link: http://www.europe.htc.com/support/software/htctytn.html?lang=en
it seems it could be possible with vista... but I'm not sure...
EDIT: NO WAY... This is just wireless modem driver for vista... but not for wifi connection! Sorry!
Anyway, I'm very interested in... it could be very interesting for other connections as well... to get online a game consolle...like nintendo wii...
I really hope this dream will come true!
yeah, imagine you play in the bus online. cool!
battery problem. in this configuration I give our tytn 1 hour working on wifi and 3g used together in the same time...
anyway at home you have charger, in a car aswell, you can buy few batteries on ebay and problem resolved heh
sooo, who can start write this application ?
to which company or open source coders team should I send this idea ?
You could tether your Tytn to your laptop using either a usb cable or bluetooth, then setup an adhoc network through your laptops wifi connection. All you need to do then is do internet connection sharing between your bluetooth DUN connection and your wifi card and you should be in business to let your flat mates connect to your adhoc, which essentially turns your laptop into a router. Let me know if that helps or if you have any further questions.
I've done this myself with my mates and it works flawlessly.
Yea, I searched around a while on this way back but there is no solution that I could find.
Your best bet is to either just use PAN bluetooth, or tether just one computer over bluetooth and share your connection via wifi. It's super easy on a mac, not sure about windows.

ehehe...NO, MATE.... There's NO adsl connection where I live... So I can just use my tytn as a HSDPA modem and I use to share his connection on my PC, BUT I'm not able to share it throug wifi on my wii...
I really hope a coder could solve this... even if I'm not sure it's possible.

yeah, cheers pal, I've already written about that above. I have this kind of network at my home frome the begninnig of using tytn. What I want is to stop using my laprop as a router, my tytn has everything to be a router itself, it needs just a piece of software. This thread is only about piece of software.
I'd like to tether via Wifi and not from my carrier's data. Like use the phone as a wireless adapter for a laptop without wifi.
How can this be done?
Yes, I do believe you're talking about the functions of WMWifiRouter. it's not freeware anymore, but maybe you can find an old version of it that's free.
A lot of people get that confuse, I want to use USB-WIFI. While WMWifiRouter is more of like a (signal) extender.
I'm not really understanding what you mean, if WMWifiRouter isn't what you want.

This is a great forum, and I have high hope that someone can get this done. Surprisingly something as useful as this still haven't been made yet.

Umm... disable data, start up wifi, start internet sharing... I believe this will work.
I've been trying to figure this out for awhile now and seemed to be stumped. I have my HD2 setup to dual boot into WP7 and MIUI Android, on WP7 I can seem to connect to my WiFi router at home but it shows the one dot on the meter instead of all of them. On the Android side it will show my network but then says it's poor and won't ever connect. I've tried to flash different radio's on here and nothing makes a difference.
So is it now hardware related? Or am I missing something on what to try and do? I haven't loaded a NAND build of Android on but anytime I've tried to load straight WP7 it seems to be the same thing.
My router is broadcasting in G-Only, would that be the cause of this? I didn't think I need to drop down the router broadcasting
Just loaded a nand version of Android and still the same issue.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Does anything else get connected to the WiFi?
What is the security type on the WiFi router?
I think its probably your router,
try it around someone elses house maybe?
My laptop and my wife's laptop connect to the router as well as the Wii, 360. My old myTouch and my wife's myTouch connects as well
Just the HD2 doesn't. I think it might not like Linksys routers
Got it to work...had to open it up and make sure the wifi antenna cord was connected and now I have full strength
hehe. glad it worked out for you.
and for anyone else who might have same problem...the best way to check whether the cable is loose or not just put on ur BLUETOOTH (yes i said bluetooth) and see if u can connect that as well.
if you cant...then its definately the loose cable.
why? cos on most of the htc devices including my hd2 and diamond and htc touch, the wifi / bluetooth cable is the same cable.

A USB antenna, as in, a WiFi antenna?
what is a USB antena ?
Normally, it's a dongle that plugs into a USB slot. You can buy them just about anywhere and use them on just about any computer - but typically you use them when you either don't have a card installed or don't want CAT5 running around the house.
I don't know why one would want one for the tab as it has integrated WiFi.
I have a feeling he meant 3g.
Yes a WiFi antenna so I can increase the ability of the tablet to connect to weak signals.
I don't think that would be supported. WiFi dongles typically have software that has to run alongside them and there's nothing like that for our Tabs (or any Tabs for that matter). That I'm aware of, anyways.
If you're looking to get a stronger signal at home, get a WiFi booster(s) and place them around the house in areas that have poor signal - as for trying to increase signal strength in public places, you're sol.
put ddwrt on old router like linksys you're set for wifi repeater
I know this thread is old, but I did not want to start a new one. Had anyone ever seen this: roklandllc.blogspot.com/2010/10/bearextender-n3-wi-fi-usb-adapter.html ?
Apparently they had the device work, just by plugging it into a Android device called a FlyTouch 2. I wonder what it is about that device that allows it to work. I think they noted that the FT2 was running 2.1 I believe on another site.
I do not know if it would be more of a burden to have an external Wifi, but it is interesting. I am thinking of buying one if I can find it on sale next month, when we have money.

How can i use my wifi enabled mobile phone as wireless adapter for pc,for accessing internet on a desktop pc via usb(by not using mobile's 3g)?
I don't mean the usb tethering prosedure. If anybody knows. I have an old desktop pc without wireless adapter. I know that i could use a cheap wifi usb stick. I just want to know if this is possible.
While I know you can share the 3g connection with your phone, and you use to be able to use the computers wifi connection on the phone.... I don't think you could share the wifi connection with your computer. You can however, picked up a used usb one for a few dollars and a new one from newegg.com for $15.
While there may be a way to do it, .... you're asking a $300 phone to do the job of a simple adapter.

The currently available tethering on WP7 only shares your cellular data connection over WiFi.
There are indications that it might also be possible to share you're cellular data connection over e.g. USB, but I don't think that's been possible (even on unlocked devices) thus far.

a simple adapter (usb modem with a sim card) also does the job that usb tethering offers on optimus 7.
Thank you all for your answers. But i already know what are the currently available tethering (usb and with recently released firmware update internet sharing -cellular data- via wifi on wp7). I just asked if is possible to share phone's Wi-Fi connection to a pc (missing wifi adapter) via USB on wp7. That's all. If anybody knows please reply.

Well like I said, at the moment the only thing that works is Cellular -> WiFi.
WiFi -> USB might work after some registry changes but as far as I know nobody managed to this until now.
