I'm currently on mattc 1.5 and everytime I turn on portable wifi hotspot, the system restarts itself.
So anyone has tried out this feature on other builds?
I hear it doesn't work on any. It. Also hear that some of the tethering apps wor.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
yeah, i think NONE of the builds are having it working now..
yes, thats the only thing which isn't working. all other features are working very well.
i hope the wlan router will work in future by an update
thx for the developers!!!
I have other tethering applications working, such as WIRELESS TETHER FOR ROOT USERS.
Then again, other in-market applications exist that serve the same or similar purpose. Also, the wired, USB-tethering works quite nicely...
Hopefully the Wi-Fi Hotspot issues are worked out soon!
WIRELESS TETHER FOR ROOT USERS should also not be working. It uses the same data tables as the built in hotspot. I've tested wireless tether on my two builds and it does not work.
wifi tethering its working !!!
step 1
install pdanet on pc
(cant put link cos im new-google it)
step 2
install pdanet from google market and istall it on pda.

is there any way to get my evo to tether to my Zune HD, I'm currently fully rooted and running baked snack v .8, planning on upgrading to v .9 when I get time. I just want to download songs on the go with my Zune, but when I use wirelesstether, no wifi hotspot is detected from my zune, yet it works with my laptop? Is this because the evo is being an ad-hoc network or something? or is it in AP-mode? Idk how to get my zune to see the evo at all...
Yeah i would like that too
Have you tried using the latest beta of Wireless Tether? It works differently than the one on the stable version
how/where do I get the beta version?
http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...?name=wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre2.apk&can=2&q=
Also just checked it with my Zune HD and seems to work fine.
Yup, works here too! Thanks!
Zune marketplace mobile FTW!
Requires root I suppose.
Glad I could help And yeah, root required for Wireless Tether
Did not work for me
I ran into this same problem, part of the problem is the way wireless tether works (stable) and the way the Zune Works. Zunes do not connect to Ad-hoc networks, which is created when you use Wireless tether. Since im paying for wireless tether through sprint hotspot, i use that tool it creates a AP Network which the Zune will connect to. I did read that Wireless Tether will now have the ability to create an AP network, which will fix those issues.
The newest Wireless Tether works in infrastructure mode. My zune paired with my EVO just fine. I'm not rooted now though.
Also Wireless Tether is available in the market now too.
Hi, im in need of some assistance. I have a new android device, the Archos 5IT. my phone is the Tilt 2. i have been unable to get my tilt 2 tethered to it thru wifi. reason being that the xda wifi router app uses adhoc mode. the archos will only see Infrastructure connections. Someone on the archos forum said the HD2 has built in a wifi tethering app that is infrastructure mode. Can someone plz direct me to that app or another wifi tethering app that uses Infrastructure mode only? also, free apps...lol thnkx in advance i figure if i download that app, ill be good, and wont have to take this device back. plus its giving me probs trying to connect thru bt also. lol FIGURES
If you can't find a free one, I recommend WMWifiRouter (v2 and above). It lets you connect multiple devices via Wifi (infrastructure style) and Bluetooth, as well as work as a USB modem and a USB Wifi dongle.
If you have Omarket installed, just download "Mobile Wi-Fi Router." It works GREAT!
Sorry about reviving an old thread. I've been searching and trying to find this exact solution, but neither of the ones listed here are doing "Infrastructure" mode. I'm currently testing WMWifiRouter (v2.0 - build 1502, downloaded directly from their site today) and when I set up the wifi connection, it only gives an option for Ad-Hoc (or none - which is for connecting to another access-point).
Am I missing something with WMWifiRouter, or is there any other app at all that will do Infrastructure mode? I don't mind having to buy something, I just need it working.
Thanks!

Sorry if I am not clear with your issues above.
But, Winmo 6.5 in HD2, has a native wifi tethering application.
There is an option menu (in Comm Manager) to turn on the Wifi Router.
This will make your HD2 as an Access Point. It can accept 5 devices.
Cheers..
Yes but only in adhoc mode, not in infrastructure mode, which appears to be needed for connecting some devices like psp and my new HTC flyer!
Same problem with GT 10.1 and HTC HD2
I have the wifi router program but it's not working with my galaxy tab 10.1, how can i tell if its adhoc or infrastructure signal?

Hi, I am researching this as well, and here is what I have found so far.
1. Android does not currently support/connect to ad-hoc WiFi, only Infrastructure mode.
2. If your Android tablet device can not see the WiFi from your phone hotspot but a PC Can, then it is probably ad-hoc, as my WinMo HTC HD2 is.
3. I have an Asus Transformer tablet with Android 3.1 and this can not see my WiFi from the WiFi hotspot settings, but my PC can see it and connect to the HD2.
4. If there is an Android ROM for your phone, (XDA Forums) that will run from the SD card, you can boot into that and use the WiFi hotspot (Tethering) from the Android ROM. This seems to work fine on my setup.
Hope this helps
really would rather not root if at all possible
since i live in fear of ending up with a very expensive brick (by messing up rooting my xoom) - has anyone come up with a way to make the winmo htc hd2 send out an infrastructure wifi signal?

Simple answer is no. Winmo 6.5 will not do infrastructure wifi hotspot, no matter whether native Winmo app or a 3rd party app (i.e., WMWifirouter). You're going to have to do what I'm doing with my HD2. Go thru the learning process of installing an Android build on your SD card, and then boot into Android. You've very little risk of bricking the HD2 if you read carefully and follow the guides. [However, these guides are definitely written by geeks, not editors who write and re-write to be explicitly clear.] Supposedly, the Android Wifi router is infrastructure, but I've not yet gotten to that point in my own process. The first one I tried to install (AmeriCanAndroid) didn't complete booting up successfully, so I tried another Android build (MIUI), but in it I'm not finding a wifi tethering app. And, in it, the Market app is crashing. So, I'm now on the search for a 3rd Android build. The payoff is big (wifi tethering to my Viewpad 7 tablet), so I persevere. Good luck to you on your journey.
I currently running darkstone HD2Froyo v2.1 kernel 2.6.32.9 on my HTC HD2. I have tried activating the portable wi-fi hotspot on my phone but I get an error message. However, I have been able to enable the USB tethering on my Windows 7 64bit system, but its requesting a network password to enable internet access.
Does anyone know if portable wi-fi hotspot can be enabled with this android build and what password to use to enable the USB tethering?
Thanks in advance.
Similar problem
I am not sure what build I have on, been running it for a week. But I experienced a similar problem when i tried setting up a mobile hotspot this morning.
If you go into portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings > Advanced you can change the channel. Mine doesn't work at all when it is set to Auto. If I change the channel then the hotspot begins and i can detect it using my iPad. But then my phone restarts.
I haven't had much time to play with it as I am at work. But I will play around some more tonight. Still it might be worth changing the channel and seeing if it works or does the same thing as me
Good luck
Hi on the darkstone website it says:
Whats not working:
- Wifi Tethering
But also says:
Whats working:
........(amongst other things ) ......
- USB Tethering
Sure enough if I try wifi tethering it just reboots the phone, however like you I am having no luck with USB tethering it simply just dosen't connect , I am having to tether via WINMO as I write this , I did try some software off the market , but it requires a 'rooted' android phone and I am not sure wether android on an HD2 is or can be made to be rooted , anyway , anyone successfully got usb tethering working its a pain to reboot phone when I need the internet
Can anyone help me tether my 101 to an android phone (Orange Sanfrancisco AKA ZTE Blade).
I have rooted the phone and tried a few apps but I cant seem to get it to work.
I'd prefer Bluetooth PAN, but I'd settle with USB or turning the phone into a wifi hotspot (Infrastructure mode).
Are there any apps out there that are known to work that you'd recommend?
Many thanks
Dude, good luck. I have been trying to tether via bluetooth since I got my A70 with no luck.
If you have a T-Mo phone with wireless hotspot, you can use that. For some reason, the Archos won't see a wifi hotspot done by an app like Wireless Tether because it's ad-hoc, but it will see the T-Mo wifi hotspot.
That's what I do now. It's a killer on my battery, but I just make sure I have it plugged in or my extra battery on hand.
Have you tried the WiFi Hotspot on most Android phones instead? That's what I use. The 101 just finds the Wireless network then.
On mine it is under
Wireless and network - Tethering and portable hotspot - Portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings

I am able to use Wireless Tether from the market. Go into settings and put a check in the Use Bluetooth option.
My phone is an HTC Hero cdma(sprint) that I rooted with z4root and cm7. 1. I tried almost every single version of the wifi tether app on the code Google website and none of them work.
My cm7. 1 has usb tether but not portable wifi hotshot. If anybody knows a way I would be really grateful.
The Hero only has Ad-Hoc wireless tether so your device may not be able to connect to Ad-Hoc networks and only infrastructure networks.

I'm running Wireless Tether v 2.0.7 on my CM6 Hero without problems.
Let me know if you can't find that version.
Doesn't CM7 have the native tether app in the CM config screens? I don't tether with my Hero but I will have to take a look at it when I get home. I know that I used to use wireless tether app routinely so the Hero will def tether just fine.
Cyanogen mod 7.1 has tethering via usb but not portable wifi hotspot. I may have to flash to cm6 see if it becomes available. Thank you for the responses ill post back after my attempt.
