T-Mobile US HD2 does not have Wifi Router???? - HD2 General

Hello all, I have been in the Blackberry world for a few years so I am a little out of touch on WM. I have spent about an hour with the HD2 and I am sold. One thing I noticed is the lack of Wifi Router. I know the European version has it and I would like to know if it is something easily ported to the US version? Thanks for any input and if this is a stupid question I am sorry, just haven't been on the WM scene for a while.
P.S. I know I could use WMWifirouter but I would like to try the HTC app (also help that its free).

I suppose it depends if there is a Sim free version made by HTC.
The version we have in europe is a different model.
If there is a sim free version made, there is nothing to stop you from flashing that ROM to a T-Mobile branded device (in theory).
That should give you all the functions HTC put in.

the o2 uk version doesnt have it either. I shoudnt worry, its readily available.

Sorry, I have searched the forums but could not find it. Could you please give a link to where you can download a cab to enable the wifi router function?

Wifi Router is part of a pack available at the above link.

I installed it on my TMOUS HD2 and it won't connect with my laptop I verified the wireless settings match but my laptop keeps saying to check the router...
i dunno, won't work for me...

make sure laptop is seeing it as an ad hoc connection, not infrastructure.

Is that a joke? What adhoc? It wouldn't work for me either (LEO). I can not see it from my laptop, no DHCP or static IP with the router SSID forced either.
Nevermind restart fixed all problems and that's really ad hoc!

Hey I have what's called a htc wifi router. Do a search for that. I'm pretty sure I have picked up the .cab from this site. This program works great tho.

im useing the router to send this! thank you much!

No you don't have to install any drivers to get WiFi working (it's not like desktop Windows). Your problem description is incomplete. Please post exact symptoms of your problem. It will help you get the answer you are awaiting.
In connections manager when i tap the wi-fi to turn it on, apperar like is loading someting (i'm not getting any error message), after that the wi-fi is still off.
From Settings -> Connections -> Wireless LAN when i tap Turn On Wireless LAN i'm not getting any reactions, the Wireless refuse tu turn ON.
I install Wireless Today Plugin, the wi-fi is not available in the Today Plugin as well.
Have you already tried a hard reset?

did you do a hard reset ?
if not I had problem with cooked rom seeing wifi but no connect and a hard reset fixed the problem.
How to do a hard reset , lay the TC on a flat surface and hold down GPS + IE keys and use the pen to reset (hold it a couple of seconds) and then follow the instructions on screen.
Hard Reset is my friend , after hard reset is the same.
Now the Polaris has udK_Syrius-R0_WWE, the wi-fi don't work eather.

Syrius R0 has radio ROM included and should be a confirmed working configuration. If it does not work for you it could mean that there is something wrong with your Polaris hardware. My advice is to flash back original ROM and SPL and return the device for service to HTC. Search for threads regarding returning your device for guarantee reasons.

With my Orange SN i get: "Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device."
I use Windows Mobile Device Center X64 v. 6.1 in Vista X64, may this be the problem?
i have exactly the same problem with my Cruise,
it has wm6,0 original SFR
gobar, was your wifi working BEFORE you flashed?
if not then hardware.. if it was then its possible theres another solution.
Wi-fi was working ok with the original Windows Mobile 6 Orange Romania Rom.
1. i try to update without hard spl, at 1% stop & give me someting about vendor id, from then the wi-fi refuse to work.
2. i have SIM Unlock & Hard-SPL and update to official windows mobile 6.1, wi-fi don't work
3. i have try some radio rom & custom rom's, the same
After the update the wi-fi problem apear.
No solution for my problem?

i bought my polaris in hk, and brought it back to japan. when i tried to connect it to my wifi net work at home, it did not detect the network at all.
anyway, i did a little bit of research with my wifi network setting, and found out my polaris detected the network when the wifi channel was set below 10 (or 9?). I was using the network with channel 13, and this was the reason why it did not detect the network (although i don't know why it does not.)
i sent it to htc usa for repair (i spoke with htc hk and japan, but they said i had to talk with htc taiwan or usa. because i had such a hard time to communicate with the support guy from htc taiwan in english, i eventually called htc usa despite i live in asia...), and they fixed it and sent it back to me, which took me ONE MONTH. however, i simply found the problem remained the same, and it did not detect channels over 10... after spending one month to get it fixed...
check your access point setting. if it is set to use a channel over 10, just change it below 10. it worked with mine. g'luck.

Drivers for USB tether

Tried USB tethering for the first time today and I was pleased with how quickly it set up and worked.
Now, I have HTC sync installed as this is my main PC, but does anyone know the set of driver files needed for Windows to pick up the Hero as a modem?
I'd like to pop them on the SD card to allow me to enable internet access on anyone's PC or laptop without installing full HTC sync.
If you've a default set up, the NDIS drivers can be found in c:\Program Files\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files.
Regards,
Dave
Thanks but it only has the drivers there for Vista x64 (my OS), I really need drivers for XP and Vista x86 too
Odd - when I installed it here on W7 x86, I get both 32-bit and 64-bit driver directories. If you can, I suggest you install on a 32-bit installation to get the driver files.
Regards.
Dave
Hello everyone,
This is one of my first post/reply here, so before anything thank you very much to all here for sharing such good infos.
I've tried to setup my Hero for use as USB Modem as well, but can not find the "HTC Remote NDIS Network Adapter" driver either. Reading on different forums it seems it used to be on the memory card shipped with the device, but I bought mine 4 days ago and the file isn't there now. HTC has probably changed policy regarding this. Can anyone point me to where I could download this file to install on my lapto using Vista.
Thank you very much.
You can download HTC sync direct from HTC's website. It contains all the necessary software and drivers, and is a later version than the one that shipped with the Hero (at least when mine was shipped anyway!).
Regards,
Dave
u got it to work with the default program in htc sync??? i thought it doesnt work..i tried and i got an error
Works fine for me.
Regards,
Dave
do u happen to have sprint service? im getting a username/password issue...i know its not the wrong info because i can get online fine without tethering..... im reading at many other places that sprint doesnt have it working yet??
No, mine is not a Sprint Hero. It is possible that Sprint have disable this option.
You might want to try PDAnet to see if that works with a Sprint Hero (see http://www.junefabrics.com/android/index.php )
Regards,
Dave
thanks dave..yea pdanet does work, i havnt yet tried it because its a trial version and u have to pay for it...i came from windows mobile where tethering was super easy to do and the apps were plentiful.... but it seems the android market doesnt have tethering ..... i rely on tethering alot for when im traveling, i thougth the android market wouldnt be a problem with tethering apps..but it seems im wrong
The GSM Hero support tethering out of the box - therefore the issue is not Android, but more likely a restriction your carrier has imposed!
First things first though - check to see if you have "Mobile Network Sharing" in Menu->Settings->Wireless Controls.
Regards,
Dave
yes, i have the mobile network sharing... i even install the drivers for tethering fine... im getting a error 67 saying that my usrname and password for my internet is not valid.... although i can go on my internet normally via my phone only...i cannot connect a usb to it from my laptop.... right after i connect it, the internet disconnects from the phone then i get an error.... you are right about sprint blocking it.... but theyve been blocking it since windows mobile...people got around it with a simple app which came with all the hacked roms.... it seems like an issue here with the sprint android.... but maybe its still new?

Yes it is still very new. As with WinMo, you need a hacked ROM, but these aren't available yet for the Sprint Hero as it's only just been released. Once you've got a rooted ROM on your device, you should be able to use wireless wifi tether - the meantime, PDAnet is probably your best bet.

Hd2 Telstra ROM 1.72.841.0 (82124)

Hi All
I need some help with my HD2.
Today I upgraded from stock rom to latest as version as on HTC website
I can't recall old version, anyway I am having an issue with this radio version which is 2.07.51.22_2
My exchange activesync keeps disconnecting, so my emails are arriving 3-4 minutes later.
I guess my question is?
Can i go back to older radio version without flashing, or worse case scenario could i downgrade to older rom?
I need some help guys.
Thanks
I am downloading now... Will try when down.
I cannot help you there, but have you tried sending a SMS? did you get a stupid notification of message being sent? I am trying to figure out a way to deactive.... No luck yet, waiting for HTC response
As for the Data sync I have had no issue as yet. I have found it a tad more reliable than 1.49. But I have only done a whole 2 hrs of testing

What a pain, so yours work ok, do you use activesync with an exchange server?
That's where my problem is.
It disconnects every few minutes, which obviouslyconsumes more battery power.
As for the sms sent notification I dont mid it.
I may downgrade to original rom, is it safe?
Thanks

Sorry I should have clarified. I link mine with my Exchange 2010 Server. I am getting emails as wanted.
That said I still can't sync SMS. Which is soemthing HTC is looking at and I haven't heard back in a while. I should email them to chase them up.
Hmm, I may try a hard reset tomorrow then.
Thanks

Hi there, having exactly the same issue, did you find a solution to this other than changing out the ROM? Greatly appreciate your posts.
Telstra ROMS on HD2 are stuffed!
I've heard from a mate who works in Telstra ROM development that the HD2 images are not fully tested.. and therefore go to market with communications flaws.. eg every time you try and sync your mail or use as a shared internet device it struggles as the radio version is substandard to the rest of the Image.
Do yourselves a favour.. HSPL it... Find one of the wonderful roms that the guys/gals on here do.. and you will love using the hardware you have purchased. The HD2 is so powerful and should not be ruined by Telstra's lame attempt at a ROM.
Seems they have put way more effort into the Android ( desire ) but its still no HD2.

Yep fixed it, apologies forgot to post solution for my issue.
After trying reflashing with new ROM, downgrading to old ROM and still having same issue, that's right after downgrading...
It clicked, see I bought device and started using activesync after about 2 months.
Before that, I had an issue with my 3G internet connection not working at all.
Weather updates, internet access, hotmail emails etc.
To fix that other issue I had to create a new internet connection.
By the time I got to use activesync I had a new internet connection, I was not using stock telstra connection.
Therefore to fix on new ROM version I created a new connection, and magically started working up to now with no issues.
And it is true telstra are bloody hopeless at testing pre-releasing ROMs.
If you need more information let me know.
Thanks
Would greatly appreciate any help in two areas:
- firstly my HD2 internet stuff is nor working at present. Clicking many of the BigPond links just brings up IE with wap.telstra.com/wap?..... and ends up just sitting there until timeout. Can you post details for setting up new internet connection that fixed this.
- which ROM did you go to. Hw did you load this. I cannot get my HD2 to connetc to Win7 x64 WMDC. Can't even see any mention of the device in the device mgr, though it did say it saw it at ones stage. Reading numerous posts - seems to be a lot of people having issues in this space..

Ok.. have to say, the wap.telstra addresses are all old and many are discontinued. All those apps are simply web shortcuts that should point to a m.bigpond address.
Firstly.. you need to do a few things..
1) You will need to HSPL your phone- ( like flashing a bios ) I just used the hspl.zip.. Instructions are easy and straight forward, make sure you follow them perfectly.
2) Flash your radio to something better i did the 2.10 ( Again.. instructions need to be followed.)
3) I then had a look and found a rom on the forum ( energy GTX ) which seems to have all i want and is fast.. after you flash it.. reboot it.. and it will autoconfigure to the Telstra network.. and BINGO.. FAST Phone!!

Hey there, thanks for this. With the new 1.72 ROM the Telstra inbuild connection set ups seem to work, can browse internet and activesync will connect when I prompt it OK (with 1.49 I had to setup a new connection with Phone line (GPRS) and telstra.wap manually (via the Telstra tech's)). I have two HD2's one running 1.49 (with this manual config) and the other 1.72 with inbuilt Telstra config's - the delay problem u described with email arriving 3 or 4mins later is still happening on 1.72 despite it appearing to connect fine, almost like the message from the exchange server is being ignored. Watching Activesync on the 1.72 when I know there is new email and there is this odd sequence, seems to check and recheck emails 2 or 3 times when just one new email has arrived but doesn't seem to pick up the trigger from the Exchange Server that new email has arrived? Does this delay still happen for you, what connection configuration did you select? Thanks v.much.
I want to know what are the real benefits or improvements on upgrading the ROM on Telstra branded HD2? Because I bought an new, unlocked HD2 from a clearance shop in Melbourne and had been into it for just 2 days. Bening a long time WM user, I got used to it and it really seems to work without any problems at the moment, so does the new ROM brings some dramatic improvements, new and fanastic functions or what? I am not after cosmetic things at all, need to know real benefits comared to old ROM.

Thanks, almost sold on this path at this point given the headaches, was reluctant to head down this HSPL path, is there a good reference for setting up a custom ROM specifically for Telstra's network?
Activesync usually never works with the standard Telstra connection in the HD2 Telstra ROM.
As far as im aware, it is set up to go through a Telstra proxy server, which doesn't allow the Activesync traffic.
You must set up your own stock standard connection to telstra.internet APN. Which bypasses the proxy that they have on their preloaded connection. You will however not be able to use the Telstra internet shortcuts to My Account, BigPond etc, as they require authentication with their proxy server.
So as far as I have found, with the stock Telstra HD2 ROM its a case of either one or the other: your activesync working, or your Telstra links working.

I'd like a response to this too as I'm looking at HD2 Android and need a radio upgrade from for it to run, but don't want to lose Telstra Rural coverage. The HD2 is a great device, but few Winmo6.5 app developments compared to Android or iphone.

[Q] Can't get 3G or GPS working on HD2 running Android 2.3 NAND

Hi everyone!
This is my first post on XDA, but I've been referring to it a lot lately and have to say that it is a great community.
I am hoping that someone can help me with my HD2 problem. I initially tried running an SD version of Android 2.3 on my HD2, it was great but I had no working 3G or GPS. I thought this was to do with the ROM build, and started to look for a new one to try out.
It was at this time that I learnt about NAND. Since then I have installed HSPL 2.08, MAGLDR and flashed MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 (v. 2.6) A2SD+. This is a ROM of Android 2.3.2. Note that before I did this I had Radio version 2.15.50.14, which I believe to be correct (for the reason of needing 576MB RAM).
Everything is now running great on my NAND Android except for 3G and GPS. I don't have the option for enabling 3G in the 'wireless & networks' menu, which I should.
I've searched around but all I can find is people saying that before you flash Android you must ensure you have a radio that is compatible with 576MB RAM. Correct me if I am wrong but I believe that Radio 2.15.50.14 is 576MB compatible.
The fact that I have no 3G AND no GPS does suggest that the radio may be incorrect (from what I know about them), but I don't know for sure. Can anyone help me out here?
I don't know if this info will help or make a difference to which radio I should use, but I am on O2 UK.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer any help! It is much appreciated!
have you made sure the o2 apn settings are correct ?
I am not familiar with O2 in the UK but since there is also T-Mobile in the UK, I am assuming that O2 is a competing SIM card carrier similar to ATT in the US for me. And if so, then I would think that O2 only can give you EDGE and not 3G. That is what happens when I try my HTC HD2 on ATT. Unless I am on T-Mobile, all other GSM carriers will only give me EDGE and not 3G. In regards to not obtaining GPS lock, I think it could be caused by the build you are on. Many of the builds are optimized for the location of the developer. I would then change your gps.conf file in your build to optimized GPS lock for you in the UK. Here is a link to the thread to help you change the gps.conf file on your phone:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953630

Hi. Thanks for quick reply. I can go into my 'Access Point Names' menu, in 'Settings' > 'Wireless & networks' and can see multiple choices there. Seven of the options are for O2:
O2 UK (mobile.o2.co.uk)
O2 UK (mobile.o2.co.uk)
O2 UK Postpay MMS (wap.o2.co.uk)
O2 UK Prepay MMS (payandgo.o2.co.uk)
O2 MMS Postpay (wap.o2.co.uk)
O2 MMS Prepay (payandgo.o2.co.uk)
O2 UK MMS (idata.o2.co.uk)
I have no idea why some of them are identical or why there are so many for O2. However, I would have thought I should choose either of the top two, as I am on an O2 contract. If i select one of the top two then I can see the settings for that APN. The settings I can see that have values are:
Name, APN, Username, Password, MCC, MNC and APN type.
Should it be as simple as selecting an APN from the list or is there normally customisation required?

Hi. Thanks, that looks like something I need to find out for sure, although my 3G worked fine when I was running WM6.5 on O2, it was only when switching to Android that the problems arose. When I had the SD card version of Android I could go back and forth from WM6.5 to Android and would have 3G work in WM but not in Android, every time.
The good point about the SD card method was that if I ever really needed 3G I could easily reboot and use WM6.5, but of course now that I have a NAND version of Android I cannot do this, and so I am pretty keen to try and fix the problem so that I can use things like Google Maps when I am out and about etc.
Thanks again.

Doing a Google search it looks like O2 can give you 3G provided you have the proper APN settings. The different choices you listed will be based on what type of O2 plan you are using. Here is a link to a suggested APN setting if you are on the postpay MMS plan: http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f41/o2-uk-postpay-mms-internet-apn-settings-18558/

Hi. Thanks for the info and link. I tried the settings mentioned in the first link you provided and it worked! Brilliant! After I had input the new settings I had to go to 'Mobile networks' and re-tick 'Data enabled'. I now have a little 'G' icon in the status bar with an incoming and outgoing arrow above it and can browse web pages again! Ahh mobile connection, I have missed you!
By the way, that G icon, I've just Googled it and it seems it represents a GPRS connection, which is slower than EDGE. I have to say, this new connection is very slow (not that I'm complaining too much). Does this make sense to anyone? On the post I got the settings from (linked to above - I can't add URL's to posts yet as I'm a new user) I noticed that the users are saying that the settings will get 3G working, there was no mention of GPRS. Do you think my phone is defaulting to GPRS becuase it can't get 3G working?
Thanks!
I have exactly the same problem on orange. worked fine on wm6.5 but once i flashed android have had a night mare finding 3g coverage, but alot of ppl have 3g coverage on a nand android been trying to figure out why cant i, i also have that G but its really slow internet and cant talk on pingchat etc, gonna ring orange tomorrow n see if they can fix it/give me correct settings.

It's your sim card. Had the same issue in the fall and it was my sim card. You are supposed to have them changed out every 2 years

My 2G network option was always unchecked, but thanks for commenting anyway.
I seem to have a pretty much fully working connection now. I had the G icon (GPRS) when at work the other day, but once I went home I managed to get an E icon (EDGE), which was much faster. I don't know if I'll be able to get any faster than that (i.e. 3G or HSDPA), as I am assuming that is partly to do with my settings but also partly down to geographic location and coverage etc. But at least I have something now, I am very grateful for that much
In addition, my GPS seems to be working too (I started this post of with neither GPS nor my mobile networks working). It takes some time to get a lock on me, but it gets there after a few minutes. Fantastic!
Thanks so much to everyone who posted comments, I appreciate them all
I hope you get your problem sorted, LaneyEFC. I'd definitely recommend getting the APN settings from your network provider, my problems went once I got that step right!

Hi everyone!
This is my first post on XDA, but I've been referring to it a lot lately and have to say that it is a great community.
I am hoping that someone can help me with my HD2 problem. I initially tried running an SD version of Android 2.3 on my HD2, it was great but I had no working 3G or GPS. I thought this was to do with the ROM build, and started to look for a new one to try out.
It was at this time that I learnt about NAND. Since then I have installed HSPL 2.08, MAGLDR and flashed MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 (v. 2.6) A2SD+. This is a ROM of Android 2.3.2. Note that before I did this I had Radio version 2.15.50.14, which I believe to be correct (for the reason of needing 576MB RAM).
Everything is now running great on my NAND Android except for 3G and GPS. I don't have the option for enabling 3G in the 'wireless & networks' menu, which I should.
I've searched around but all I can find is people saying that before you flash Android you must ensure you have a radio that is compatible with 576MB RAM. Correct me if I am wrong but I believe that Radio 2.15.50.14 is 576MB compatible.
The fact that I have no 3G AND no GPS does suggest that the radio may be incorrect (from what I know about them), but I don't know for sure. Can anyone help me out here?
I don't know if this info will help or make a difference to which radio I should use, but I am on O2 UK.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer any help! It is much appreciated!
