Use the HTC Titan as a WIFI router to the internet

What is the best program out for this? i heard about wififofum and wmwifirouter
anyone actually use a program to do this now? which one are you using? and how well does it work?
I am going to be getting rid of my data card for my laptop with use of verizon's vzmanager.
Thanks to dcd, i love this phone, gps gets a lock in 5 seconds vs the ppckitchen.orgs builds.
now i just need this setup as a wifirouter and this 500.00 phone will pay for itself woop

I have never used WiFiFoFum, but I do use WMWIFIRouter all of the time. Works as promised and the Mogul even has decent transmitting range.
I have done speed tests with WMWIFIRouter and I still get 1.5mbps on speedtest.net

cool thanks! I am checking it out now. I am also checking out internet sharing, never figured out how it works but got it to work pretty easy
1.) soft reset
2.) goto internet sharing
3.) choose usb for pc connect (but dont plug in the usb cable yet) and choose data network connect
4.) pressed connect
5.) pluged in usb cable (status is now connected, the soft reset was the key)
gonna test out internet connection now.

but when u do this do u get hit with those god-awful charges from your service provider? i tried something like this once and sprint tried their hardest to hit me with all types of data charges and i have a data plan already!!!

I am having issues trying to use the WiFi router application. It's starts up but I can't seem to find it when I search for network on my laptop. I have a tilt and it works just fine from that.
Any one else have any idea's?
Thanks for the help

Well the new WMWifirouters suck, but here is the one i use, just make sure you have your titans wifi on when trying to connect using wmwifirouter

I'm having a similar problem, trying to connect either my PSP or my laptop (with 802.11b only). After starting up WMWFR, it says connected and ready, but neither of my devices can find it (this is with the version of the app that was just posted last week.

The newest and latest versions of WMWifirouter actually work a billion times better than that old ass version, Also give some love to the dev by buying the app he has put hundreds of thousands of hours into the app

apparently the PSP won't even connect with the commercial version, so never mind
plus, I think you might be exaggerating the "hundreds of thousands of hours" just a bit

WmWifiRouter
I've used WmWifiRouter for 8 months now, since close to its conception, and I can say without a doubt that I wouldn't try anything else. The new v1.2 will be coming out soon with the new core, which does not use the Internet Connection Sharing software with WM and makes it much faster and more stable. This is currently in beta testing, and will be released as a public beta in the next few weeks.
I have NEVER paid a tethering charge, and I can say it's well worth the small amount of money to get on board with this one.

WmWifiRouter works well, but it drains the battery very very.. fast via the WIFI...

o rly?
Even if he only put 100,000 hours into it, this would mean he had a Windows Mobile 6 device with Wi-Fi back in 1997 and started work on it back then.
Don't get me wrong, it's a good app, and he DID put a lot of effort into it, but there is no need to worship him

oh right might not be hundreds of thousands of hours but I know he's put a ****load of time into the app. I'm not workshiping him but I know how hard he's worked to put out a good product

Newer version
I think the newer version of WMWiFiRouter permanently kills WiFi on my Titan. I've had to replace my Mogul twice, and it's worked before installing the proggy, never after. Even after a hard reset, or new ROM.

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.

oem.inf
I would like to share my solution. I modified the oem.inf file in the oem.zip(attached) ,by changing the manufacturer name and device id as given in the PC 's device manager(unknown device).
It should work for xp,seven,vista.

HTC Hero to Jailbreak PS3???

I was doing some reading about N900 used to jailbreak PS3. Is it possible for someone to use the released exploit code, and use the Hero (Android OS) to do the same thing? Instead of trying to build the dongle from parts.
Hope I'm making myself clear!
~Google( N900 used to jailbreak PS3 )~
~Google( psgroove )~ <-- exploit
And how do I get link restrictions removed from my account.
Thanks

what are you going on about?

There is a new exploit out for PS3 where it puts the system in debug mode to do all kinds of fancy things. And the only way a while back to enter this mode was to buy a USB dongle that was programmed to unlock this exploit.
But now the code has been release to the public for anyone that wishes to try and build the dongle .... but someone has successfully unlocked the PS3 by using a Nokia N900 instead. So I was wondering if any of those smart developers out there thought about trying that with the Android OS on the HTC hero or any Android OS phone really.

post a couple more times to remove the restriction, i think its either 10 or 15 posts and its gone

the guys over on the desire forum have got a kernel running in a non sense rom that can do the jailbreak, seems also to work on the n1. Only drawback seems to be u lose alot of usb functionality

http://psfreedom.com/wiki/index.php?title=Device_compatibility_list
they have got it running on MSM72K devices such as the nexus one and other phones now, the hero version is in progress but needs an updated kernel for it

Carazy stuff here. I knew I had all this PS3 HDD space for a reason.

bookmarked this thread.

My friend has a G1 ... I wonder if he'll let me use it to try it out!

[email protected] it! Sony crushes my dreams again!
http://boardsus.playstation.com/t5/PlayStation-3-Updates/Firmware-3-42-UPDATE/m-p/46149179
Will they be able to port it to the new firmware?
I would hold off on update but I must play MW2! ...sad but true!

you cant port psjailbreak to 3.42 it uses and exploit to launch it into debug mode, with that update sont removed all dev and debug modes in retail units. the hole has been opened and now they can explore all software aspects of it all. the only thing i can recommend is to use the proxy trick to get around and connect to psn without updating

Yeah, you're better off not updating and either finding a friend with a Palm or getting the stick.

Sony is worse than Apple.

Humor me on this proxy trick via PM, would you please?

Here I'll do one better, Logan5 PS3 Proxy Tool can be used to work around the update. You can also use the 67.202.81.137 IP again as your primary and secondary DNS server to bypass the update.
Not sure how long it will last used to do it back in the days of 3.21 but for whatever reason sony is letting use use em again

Tried and it didnt work. Will try again right now, didn't know it had to be secondary DNS as well.

Is there still people working on the jailbreak for HTC hero?

Are you using the market version or one of the newer versions from: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
I tested the newest (pre10 http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...tail?name=wifi_tether_v3_0-pre10.apk&can=2&q= ) and it worked for me.
I don't think the version in the market works with our setup right (EB13) now.

I saw someone else had that problem in another thread. I'm not going to be much help, I just tested it out but haven't done anything more with it. You might search around, though, because that person definitely got it to work even with the reboots and had some advice on that, I think.

Stock rooted EB13, the market version of WiFi tether works fine for me.

I had the same problem... I switched back to v3 pre 4... Stol have the same problem... do you use ad-hoc or infrastructure w/ hotspot activated?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

3.0-pre10 works fine for me. Even tested it by tethering to my laptop.
I did notice with my netbook, it would say it was disconnected, but it actually had internet connection (to the phone - speed test and IP proved that).
It appears there's a glitch of some sort in reporting a connection, but it works.
The app does seem to interface via the Sprint Hotspot, as that starts up, so make sure you didn't remove that APK.

I've tried numerous versions of WifiTether. wifi_tether_v3_0-pre11 being the most recent. At first it worked for a couple hours and now it reboots my phone as soon as I start it. I've uninstalled and reinstalled pre7-11 with same results.

Are you on Stock kernel? You can try different kernels and see if that helps.
Alternatively, you can also try Barnacle Tether on the Market and see if that one works better.

Where did you get the app from? The version in the market essentially never works on our devices. Try ones from here:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=1
different people have had differing luck with different ones, but I'd try the most-recent first, if you can't get it to work, try another. Also, I don't use wifi tether really (just tried it out) but it has never worked for me more than once after booting the phone. So I'd suggest at least rebooting between attempts.

thank you soooooooo much it worked

now that I got my tablet to pick up the wifi tether app the first time i activate the wifi tether it power cycles my device and then when i click it the second time it works but cant surf

the latest (3.0-pre14) works fine for me with one hitch- if you want to tether over 4g, you need to start wifi tether with 4g off, start the app, then start 4g (or the other way around- i always mess it up ). doing the other way forces a reboot on my phone.
