I have read a few threads regarding tethering, but its not clear. Is tethering available out of the box? And if so, which kind, Wifi or USB?
If not, how would you enable USB tethering?
It seems like Wifi tethering is available via CAB.
Thanks.
usb tether is available out of the box and wifi is easily installes with a cab. Most cooked roms have wifi tether preinstalled.
Anyone having a problem with the HD2 losing access to data after receiving a call while tethered? It may be losing data after call even when NOT tethered...have not checked yet but it's annoying and breaking connection and reconnected doesn't fix it...a soft reset is required.....seems to only occur on LONG calls as short ones continue fine.

Legally does Tmobile allows Tethering???
I tried USB mode tehtering and worked fine only problem was as i was talking with a tmo agent one day i just happen to ask them about tethering and they told me it is against their policy to tether. any thought on that??

I'm using the Miri-Steve Elegancia V4 rom and whenever I try to use the wifi router, my mac will not connect. Any ideas?

Guys I have a Mogul and the $15 unlimited plan i called sprint customer care and inquired about tethering...They informed me however that I cannot. I attempted to do it anyway and got a user name and pw error. What can I do and is tethering possible?
Download and install the attached cab. Then open internet sharing on your phone, click conncet, then plug in yer usb cable to your computer. You will tether for free.

I tried this and get a invalid user name/password when trying to connect and it won't connect unless the USB is plugged in. Am I doing something wrong? Just updated to WM 6.1
And ideas?
When you open Internet Sharing program what options u get ? If you only get option using Phone As A Modem u need to edit registry HKLM\comm\internetsharing\settings
edit key 'ForceCellConnection' so it says 'Sprint PCS '
How would this work for Telus? (Canada)
Make sure you dont use PAM...phone as modem...they can tell when you are using this VERSUS using Internet sharing where the data connection is used. It appears that the phone is accessing the net for browsing on their end.
I have a verizon 6800 with DCD 3.1.5 and Internet sharing. I installed the WMModem as posted earlier. When I open Internet Sharing I press the connect, then plug in the usb cable. The computer sees the phone, but I get a message "Limited or No connectivity".
Under network connection Details this is what I get"
Physical Address 80-00-60-0f-E8-00
IP Address 169.254.66.5
Subnet mask 255.255.0.0
My internet sharing works if I use WIFIRouter, but don't always want to use this. Any ideas why this does not work? I'm able to follow instructions, but not too smart with the lingo, so please be gentle?

how about alltel
will this work on alltel?

Not to sure about that DCD ROM version but you usually don't have to install that CAB as he includes that in his ROMs. That IP address is bad and that is why you can't connect. I have DCD 3.2.6 and all I do is run Internet Sharing and click on connect and then connect via USB and it works. At least for my XP machine. My Vista machine doesn't like my phone at all. I have even tried bluetooth and Vista is still having problems. Going to reload Vista again some day.
ruff_ryder, what ROM are you on? Did you try the CAB above to see if that works?
Other Setting
Don't you have to enable "Enable advanced networkfuntionality" under Start-Settings-Connections- USb to PC also when tethering?

Mine is checked so I would assume so as my internet sharing works.
Jambrose, thanks. I guess I'll just live with this, until I upgrade to DCD's new rom.

Will this also work got BT tethering? USB is not an option for mac users as no drivers are available
EDIT: Confirmed it works with BT as well. However, the connection doesn't seem to be stable enough for online gaming. It works for a while, then randomly the game will stop receiving data. This might be Sprint trying to curb people from playing WoW on their network.
I think it may be in that case that it may be bluetooth, not sprint that's giving you trouble.
I'm kinda lost....all this started after I updated the ROM now to 6.1 or whatever but when I open internet sharing the only option I have is PC Connection:bluetooth or USB.. b4 I had that plus sprint pcs data package or PAM. What or how do I fix that?
i can't download the cab files
any body getting this page or msg?

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...
wifi sharing
followed the exactsteps works great ....tried it on my iMAC perfect .....

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.

Do you want to use your phone's internet for your pc? Then yes- it's possible with apps. (called tethering. search for wifi tether or usb tether in market or on xda...)
if you want to use your pc's connection - then probably not.

no i mean i donot have a wifi modem and i have adsl net modem and also with respect to battry problem in hd2 i prefer to use net with prob connection but many of builds did not have the internet pass through option
for this aim i like to know that is it posible to add this option to that kind of build as a for example apk software
I have the same issue,having the Internet Pass-Through function (which uses PC's connection on the phone) of Desire HD builds on the Desire builld would be great.
yap
its easy you can use your pc's wifi and turn it into a access point
and then using it trough the wifi
can't be easier than this
see,you left out the most important part: problem is that not all of the pc's have wifi!!!
There is also USB tethering, although you'll have to check if there's any builds with it working.
I don't bother with it as I use wifi tethering instead.
The program Connectify is working pretty good, to use my netbooks LAN connection as access point. Always use it abroad when in hotels without wifi and only wired internet. Works only with windows7 though.

I really feel the need to help the OP here. I don't have an answer to his question, but I do understand what he's asking for, and other people seem to be answering different things!!!
He want's to use a USB cable (not wifi) to allow his phone to use his PC's internet connection.
Tethering is irrelevant (that's using the phone's internet connection on the PC) and he does not have a wireless router so cannot use wifi on his phone.
In response to the OP, the only thing I've ever seen as a conclusive answer is that this cannot be done (there is no software that currently does it). That was an answer on a website from about 7 months ago though, and I am aware of the option on the Desire HD, so there is obviously a way to do it now.
I hope you find what you're looking for

IN the revolution HD 2.2 mdeejay NAND version - you have this option built in in this rom !!!
i used it - its working.
USB tethering is part of the Froyo OS. The problems you may have are that it does not work correctly with a lot of builds. Most of the HTC builds tend to work though.
Hmmm.... I also have the same problem.
I don't want to use the 3G Data connection for internet because it's expensive so it would be really useful to get internet through usb from a computer.
So far I only saw this option on M-Deejay's Revolution HD rom and for me it was kind of a heavy build. Worked kinda slow so I flashed a different rom which doesn't have the usb internet pass through.
I also tried Connectify. My phone connected to the computer's wireless but the internet didn't work. I tried disabling my firewall, opening ports, and other things but it just doesn't work. I think it has to do with the software not supporting all WiFi cards.
So now I'm having trouble getting on the internet with my phone to download apps. I have to go outside and look for some WiFi networks to do it and that kinda sucks
I think it finally works! I installed the latest Connectify beta version from here:
http://connectify.blogspot.com/2010/11/connectify-211-beta-up-for-testing.html
And it kinda works now! I think it's just a bit slow.

Yes I have the same issues, but he is working on another build right now. I am sure they are working hard.
You do not need a app for this. Go to Settings<Wireless & Networks<Tethering &portable hotspot<and then select USB tethering or Portable WI-FI hotspot.
I use this ROM and I use the Portable WI-Fi hotspot like all the time.

In that case then I think you either don't have the correct drivers for your HD2 to connect in this way which is a easy fix. Just go to control panel while you have your HD2 connected via USB and with the Tethering on. Then go to device manager and find your HD2 there, you will know it when you see it, then click on it. This will make it drop down then right click on the dropped down device icon and select update drivers and then get from internet.
If this is not the problem open ActiveSynce or WMDC on your computer and uncheck allow USB connections and see if that helps.
For me, it works with my iphone but not working with my Mac Book.
I had the same issue, just yesterday I found a fix the WiFi tether app(wifi tether 3.0-pre11.apk) the older WiFi tether apk files did not work correctly. The on-board WiFi works great. You will know when you get the right file, the icon color changed from green to yellow. I have been testing this out for about an hour now and all is good...
Also I can receive e-mails when I am tethering via the on-board WiFi or tethering app, but I can not send them. Does anybody know why this is. This is the same with all ROMS, so nothing to with the ROM (which is great) ...Any ideas on how to fix this settings issue...Thanks
For the last month ive been having trouble with WIFI Tether. When my devices connect to it, they say they have limited connection. I email the app owner and he says I have to change the APN Protocol in IPv4. Ive tried that. When I click on IPv4 it doesnt do anything. Its greyed out, so clicking on it, isnt an option. He doesnt seem to understand this. And by the way, im stock rooted.
The only thing that fixes this problem is to re root my phone. This last time it only worked for 1 week. It was working sunday last time I used it, went to use it today and it wouldnt work.
Any help would be appreciated.
