I couldn't get the "HTC Wifi Sharing" cab/app to work either...it would run and look like it was working but I could never connect to it. I ended up trying the CMInternetSharing cab that kurniawan pulled from the non-US HD2 ROM, and it seemed to work fine...I was able to see the connection, connect to it, and then ran a speedtest. That's all the testing I've done with it, but it looks like it does the trick.

If I remember correctly, I had to add it as a quicklink to get direct access to an icon...just look on the list of available programs when you click a quicklink spot, it should be an available choice on there.
I'm using steve-miri v4.0 and wifi sharing works perfectly, could be the ROM you are using.

still doesnt work for me. i dont know whats going on. this sucks
I had the same issue when I first installed the wifi. What fixed it for me was to rename the network. I could not connect to it, until I did this, and have not had a problem since. There was another tread on this a while back and that was where I got advised to do this.
i was having trouble with it wifi sharing but this is what i do that fixes the problem. right before i use the wifi sharing i turn data off and then when you start wifi sharing the data automatically turns on and the sharing starts working. it never works for me unless i disable data first. hope this helps

I found streethawk out on the modaco forums and was wondering if is a viable option over hitchhiker. Anyone know anything about compatibility with wm5? Usability?
doesn't work for me just says "waiting on WCZ to be free" forever and doesn't show any networks. (or was it WSZ? i can't remember)

Mine said the same, couldnt be arsed to try to get it working. Hitchhiker works perfectly for me.
Doesn't work here also.
Too bad....looked like a nice little app
Hitchiker always crashes after it's found the network for me. On an O2 mini s.
On my Qtek 9100 HitchHiker behaves strangely also. It usually finds half the APs WiFiFoFum does, and it NEVER connects. Also, on exiting it borks the PDA, and I have to manually remove it from memory to get things going again.
Is there anyone with a Qtek 9100 out there who has HitchHiker actually working and can suggest a reliable operating procedure?
Also, are there any other wardriving (WITH connecting feature) which actually work?
Well, I haven't tried Streethawk but it's disappointing that won't work.
I've had hitchiker running just fine on my wizard, though. I didn't do anything special but I exit just fine and while I only connect at my house it's able to do that just fine. I'll try doing a comparison sometime of the two war-drivers and see how many networks each gives me.
Couldnt get Hitchiker to work on my Wizard. Get a message about and error and the program has to close. This happens just after it has found an access point and tries to connect.
i find that WiFiFoFum works good for me, version 0.3.3.3 i think, if you go for the nicer looking version 2 then you have to install .net compact framework version 2 as well. plus if you connect a GPS unit then you can try and triangulate the signal
WiFiFoFum is great, but only to scan for APs. It doesn't have a simple way to select one of them and connect to it - or am I missing something?

No it's true - really annoying in a multiple network area if you want to hit a specific AP.
Yes sorry i forgot that, it doesnt allow you to connect, but i did find that it logs AP even if they have only got the WEAKEST signal or you only see it for a split second so you can then go in search. if im bored i go looking for AP's using WiFiFoFum and then try to connect using a combo of 'PockLan' which allows you to ping and search a range of an IP subnet and also map a drive of a share (the mapping is abit flacky) otherwise i use RescoExplorer to map the drive bacause its good at it.
Does anyone try and connect while wardriving or are you just looking?
P.S i am still looking for a good BlueJacking software for windows mobil, for symbian there are loads of good one like BTEXPLORer and SMan
Anyone know any? apart from 'smurf'
Hey guys, i have flashed to a few ROMs in the past and my phone would always give me the trouble of no data connection. My tmobile wing is hard spl and running currently on papa's black diamond. whenever i tried to go to the comm manager to activate the data connection, it just wont turn on while other buttons i have no problem turning on such as wlan and bluetooth.
i've also tried launching internet but it just says there's no data connection and ask me to go to settings. i still can make calls but just completely no data connections. i have also soft resetted it several time and no luck. =/
help would be great!
ps. i've looked up several other threads with the same problem, however, theres really nothing under connections except add new so it didnt help much.

I think you have to use the Network Wizard. If it is not in that rom, can install it using the cab, it's should be around this forum.
thanks live! but i'm not sure which network wizard cab file works and which doesnt.. so a friend helped me set it up manually. thanks though!!

What, have you heard that question before?
Ryan
yes my fone is having the same problem and now i cant flash to a new rom
i flashed for the first time yesterday, and had the same problem. just call tmobile and tell them somehow your data connection information has deleted, and they will run u through what to put in the fields. and don't forget to go to the network wizard, to make sure its on the right network.
Same problem except it WAS working (my gprs/edge) until I added my first wlan entry.. of my apartment's wifi which works. But after I was done using it i turned the wlan off from comm manager and expected to see the big E for edge and instead just see the two arrows with the little x under it. I can no longer connect to gprs/edge. If i open the internet explorer to view a page, it flashes a "G" with the arrows like it's trying to connect forever. At that point it will not even let me make or receive calls until I reboot the ppc. Network wizard won't fix it as I've already tried, twice... no change. My data connection for T-mobile is set up already under "connections tab" but it just doesn't work. My best guess is something has gone wrong in the registry... but as much as I've searched for this kind of problem I find nothing... just stuff how to fix wlan problems. btw, i'm on tmobile. Oh, it won't even activesync if my wlan is off now... I have to enable the wlan and let it connect to my home network... and THEN it will go through activesync without error. This is nuts, I already hard resetted once because of this and now it's the same story. Maybe it's just a prob with the opentouch 6.5 nofrills version that's just basic and let's the users add their own apps.
Ok so...I have been trying and trying and TRYING to use this wifi prog. But it is NOT working for me...What I have noticed is that when I use the Wifi prog. the Internet sharing prog. also comes up but its in the background...now the thing is when I go to internet sharing in "PC Connection"..."USB" appears to be what is being used..but my phone is NOT connected to my laptop..why is this happening?...More so...Is this how its suppose to go?
I was on 6.0 when I notcied this. i even downloaded all this "FIX" cabs...like "ICS FIX"...and "Phone as Modem"...and also "Internet Sharing"..and with those downloaded..it still doesnt work...
I have now upgraded to 6.1 and trid to redownload the Wifi program once again..and i am still having the same prob....It wont work...I saw the YouTube video that shows you how to set everything up...I have followed it and it doesnt work...but also..I noticed that you dont even have to do anything becuz everything is already set up for u...So I dont understand why it doesnt work...Can anyone shed some light as to what I am NOT doing right? Please..I would really like to use this prog...if only I can get it to work..
Are you talking about WMWiFiRouter application? Or just using the WiFi to connect to a wireless router to get to the internet that way?
I've been trying to tether my mogul to my desktop through ICS to no avail. The more I try the worse I seem to make it. I read through all the forums and found the registry hacks/internet fix sharing.cab.
I downloaded the registry editor however I do not have a Internet Sharing directory under the Comm directory.
My next step was to try using the available internet sharing fix.cab (from ppcgeeks) and it seems to be a big mistake. First the connect button under ICS was grayed out. I followed directions to change the connection name from Sprint PCS to Sprint. That went ahead and added a connection named sprint which didn't work so I deleted it and left the original Sprint PCS connection which seemed to help with the problem.
Now wmwifirouter isn't working. One positive thing happened though, ICS is connected without the error 67 crap, but desktop still can't connect since it has "limited or no connectivity" (through usb). When I click on repair, I get an error renewing the ip address.
Can anyone help???
Thanks
Bump?
Somehow wmwifirouter is working again... not sure how. I went into remove programs and removed the internet sharing cab fix program and that seemed to do it.
So now I'm back at square one. WMwifirouter works and ICS doesn't. ICS now has the connect button greyed out but I guess that's ok since I'd rather have wmwifirouter working and ICS not than have them both not working. If anyone has successfully been able to tether through usb with the wm6.1 please help.
Thanks
Have installed Tom Tom software which works OK but evertime I use it it makes a data connection via Edge or gprs.
How can I stop it?
The same thing happens if I have a wifi connection to my network it also tries to connect via Orange.
How can I stop this as I do not want an unwelcome bill in a while?
If it means disabling something so that I can not connect to internet via gprs that would be fine but seem to be unable to find a setting.
Thanks
Hi
I no expert but sounds like AGPS kicking in. Do you have Location Settings option in "Settings\System"? If yes you can turn this off, if not then dunno, maybe someone else can guide.
You could also install the "HTC No Data" utility, search the threads here or Google it.
Cheers
Proper Job!!!
Seems to have stopped it dialling up with TOM TOM
Just need it to not dial up when using wifi now.
You may wanna try searching for and installing MoDaCo NoData... Works great for me...
Sussed it.
In network settings instead of havung it set to Orange Internet set it to Work Network and works OK.
Proper Job.

Yep, NoData is a great app.
Blocking the internet connection. And saving some battery..
