[SOLVED] HD2 not detected as WiFi router

Hi,
I have encountered a problem. My phone when in router mode is not detected by other devices (tried two laptops and another phone with WiFi). I can use my HD2 to connect to wireless networks, but not to share mobile data via WiFi.
Any suggestions on how to solve the problem?
Thanks
(ROM 1.48 as there is no official update for my region)

This may not help, but I had a similar issue of devices not seeing my wifi router as the network name I chose had a space in it, removing the space by adding an underscore instead allowed devices to then see the network.

It works for me, THANKS !

WOW - it did work for me too! Huge THANKS
Wonder why HTC set defaul network name with a space if it can cause such problems...

you should change the title to [SOLVED] if that is possible. I bet there are some more people who have probs using that feature.

help

The HD2 only uses ADHOC connection when being used ad a WiFi router and if your Desire HD does not except ADHOC connections then you will not be abale to use the WiFi from your HD2. I do not know if the Desire HD will except a ADHOC connection or not, I will let you do the research on that. But I doubt that it does as ADHOC connections are primarily a computer to computer type connection.

[Q] Wireless N supported on HTC HD2??

so i was reading some hacks and tricks to do when u first purchase your hd2 with WM still installed there is a registry edit trick to enable the wireless N support for the HD2's wireless..is there a way to enable this on an android build? or is it already enabled by default, reason i'm asking is cuz my router transmits wireless N and i hear Wireless N has better range and all that good stuff than the wireless B or G...anyways if anyone knows more about this let me know..thanks!!
Read wirless N support HERE for HD2

Its Enabled on my build

How can i check if its enabled? is it under system/wifi?

I had the same question, then connected my phone via wi-fi to my belkin wireless N router. I was getting around 80mb connection. This proved N was working.
Best way to check is just check your wireless strength in the wireless settings once you're connected.

Ok i'll try that and see what happens, thanks for the reply.

[Q] Bluetooth Tether With WM6.5

So I have searched high and low and haven't had any luck finding any information about tethering the TF to a WM6.5 device. I am currently using a stock Touch Pro 2. When I pair the two devices together, under the BT settings on the TF there are no profiles listed. When I try to set up a network with the phone using "Share Internet Connection," I get the error message saying "Failed to establish internet sharing connection to remote device as it supports only Network Access Point (NAP) mode."
If anybody could shed some light on how I could actually get the the TF to tether with my phone, that would be greatly appreciated!

I have a Tilt2 running energy rom, normally i'd run wifi-router then all is well.
Apparently the Transformer doesn't accept AD-HOC and idk when it will be supported. The only way i can tether through wifi was to install FRX06 android.
Here's a link

Once you get to run android on your TP2 go to Settings -> Wireless and Networks -> Tethering & portable hotspot -> check the portable wi-fi hotspot box. You may add a passcode if you want but it will be defaulted to Open.
I've tried it and it works! Good luck!

+1 This is the only way you can get it to work on the phone side that I can find. Works flawlessly.
Transformer wont see 6.5 tether unless you root it.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App

Works fine for me, but slightly counter-intuitive. Firstly I paired the Phone and Transformer:
1. Set Phone to discoverable
2. Scan for devices on TF
Secondly, run Internet Sharing App (its in the tools folder on my WM6.5)
Select Bluetooth PAN instead of USB from the top dropdown and hit Connect
Now on the TF, selecting the Phone from the bluetooth settings should tether you
No rooting or modding of the TF required. Note this is Bluetooth tethering, not WiFi which doesn't work as WM6.5 WiFi tethering is Ad-Hoc, whci TF does not support without root and mod

Hi!
What version of Energy Rom are you using? for some reason i can only see USB on the dropdown, no Bluetooth. This is the internet sharing program.

I tried this method, but for some reason it still doesn't work. On the phone it says the following.
"Failed to establish Internet Sharing connection to remote device as it supports only Network Access Point (NAP) mode"
Also on the TF it still shows no profiles available with the phone. From what I have read in the forum is that the Touch Pro 2 is using the Broadcom Bluetooth stack and it doesn't' play very nice with other devices.

Which phone do you have? I have the same exact problem asthe OP using my Sprint TP2. I dont see Bluetooth PAN option in my TP2.

I was informed that if even our 6.5 devices would have that option to have bluetooth PAN active, our Transformers doesn't support DUN. Basically, it would be pointless to get internet through this bluetooth method Only thing that will happen is that we can share files with our WM 6.5 devices with our Transformer.

I have Omnia 2 running WM 6.5 using wmwifirouter (use trial version first). Launch using 3G BT, then under options - tools - Bluetooth - Swithch mode to PAN, then switch to discoverable.
Connects great - not the fastest, but I'll wait until we can have ad-hoc work or until I learn more about rooting.

i was able to to do blue tooth tether of Treo Pro 6.5 (raiderfan rom) Ill try it again once i get home and post details (in case it helps anyone)
mt TP2 screen broke and currently on my palm centro...(yes,,go ahead and laugh..haha)
might connect my tp2 just to try the tether. that phone is on a ENergy ROm

Not using Energy ROM, running stock HTC WM6.5 on a Touch Diamond 2. If you don't get Bluetooth PAN in your drop-down I guess your ROM does not support it

Aye, Not only the Rom, but the device itself on wmwifirouter
http://support.wmwifirouter.com/devices/
HTC Touch Pro 2
AT&T Tilt 2
HTC Rhodium
Sprint Touch Pro 2
Support from version 1.50. Sharing using Bluetooth not currently supported.
Guess i have to research more for alternatives.

Fellow TP2 owner here, I just pushed the modded file over to the TF (need root of course) and WIFI tethering works like a champ for me. Need to keep the phone screen active from what I can tell but I'm just using the built in HTC WIFI Router, 3rd party apps might have other options.
So while Bluetooth might be nice it seems like a no go for us old school TP2 owners...

I guess it all depends on what rom you use.
I'm using the 1st generation touch pro with NFSFAN's rom. Bluetooth is right there under the internet sharing application and works flawlessly with my TF.

I don't think it's so much ROM specific as it is PHONE specific. Haven't heard of any TP2's that work with bluetooth tethering looking across multiple forums on the subject.

[Q] WiFi tethering

I have just got my hands on an ASUS transformer tablet . Now I thought ok it's wifi only thats fine I can tether it to my little tattoo and use 3g that way.
Problem is I didn't realise that Android doesn't see adhoc networks to connect to them. So I want my wireless tether to work in infrastrusture mode instead of adhoc.
I've been searching and seen this done for other phones but can't seem find a way to do it on the tattoo/click.
Has anyone found a way to do this?

Well there is a wifi tether app on market wich does the job...with that app your tattoo works like AP for 3G network. Also i think that your tattoo must be rooted.

I'm already using it. Version 2.0.7. but it broadcasts in adhoc mode so the tablet won't even see it.

Well i dont know what to say, my laptop work just fine with wifi tether app on my tattoo.

It will do. Mine to because laptops can see adhoc networks.
Or is there a way to enable android native tether instead of using an app. I've read somewhere that works in infrastructure mode.

I have a similar problem too! It seems that nothing but computers can see ad-hoc networks. So, my Kindle, my Xoom, and other smartphones can't access the network through tethering. Is there a way to make wifi work in infrastructure mode?
Nobody else have had such a problem?

Have you tried this setting?
Wireless Tether:
- Install Wireles Tether from market
- Run app
- Press on init "tethering"
- go to "menu" -> "settings"
- Enable "Wifi-Encryption" For safety...
- Change "Passphrase" (13 chars)
- Change SSID if you want

Yes, I tried: that creates a wep-protected ad-hoc network...

[Q] is there anyway to tether from my X10 Mini Pro to my Transformer?

I'm giving up :-(
I tried all kind of things but seems that's impossible to share my 3G connection from my SE X10 mini pro to my Transformer 16Gb (updated to 3.1):
this is what I learned:
- using barnacle app is not working because android 3.1 cannot see ad-hoc WIFI spot, i wish someone can customize 3.1 FW to get this function implemented (there should be some kind of WPA-supplicant to add to the FW)
- apps like PDAnet and Easy tether don't work either!
- using wifi tether is no point bacause the X10MP kernel doesn't support netfilter, and it doesn't seem to be any X10MP rom that support this thing (if anyone knows one, please tell me, now I'm using MiniCM based on Froyo 2.2.1 with Kernel [email protected]#1)
anyone had any luck in tethering these two devices?
Thanks in advance.

What happens eveytime you try to connect? Have you tried using the "wireless tether" app?

yes i tried the wireless tether app but i get the "No Netfilter! Sorry, but your kernel does not have all necessary features for running this application", if i skip this message i can pair the two devices (via BT) and see the tethering service available on my X10 MP, but the problem is i cannot connect to the net... because of the net filter error.

exactly! ad hoc networks are not visible either in 3.0.1 or 3.1

finally i succeed in tethering with my ASUS Transformer and X10 Mini Pro
using barnacle wifi tether (http://it.appbrain.com/app/barnacle-wifi-tether/net.szym.barnacle)
and those guides:
PRIMORDIAL 3.1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1106587)
and
WPA_SUPPLICANT (http://www.android-support.com/guide-enable-ad-hoc-tethering-on-your-transformer-needs-root/)
now i'm rooted, tethered and happy

if you root your mini pro you can download quick settings and get the wifi hot spot option..rooting mini pro is a whole lot easier than the TF.
