This is just an update to HTC Sync which allows loading 3rd party apps from the desktop. Anyone want to try out the Mobile Network sharing feature and report back?
HTC SYNC UPDATE FOR HTC ARIA™ (AT&T) (3.0.5372) | 07.09.2010
Update link at HTC

The article was update it does not enable wifi tethering.

I'm wonder how long at&t is gonna let htc do this before they pull the plug on this, lol.

Can someone who updated htc sync upload the update file please? It did actually allow 3rd party sideloading which is awesome and since htc has now removed the update from their website, I would love to have the file.
Thanks

Ok I know this is not a top device but I happen to own one and won't be able to get an upgrade till 2012 so I would like to get some froyo love on this. Anyone know of a Rom out there.

Only decent stuff I know of. Brother has it too. Same question. But really seems like an ok phone.

Yeah thats where i got the rom to my ally. Very good stuff but no froyo. I will have to wait till verizon does the official update. For now velocity will do the trick. It is actually a very good rom. The stock 2.1 was making me go hulk on it.

I'm in the same boat as OP. I and my girlfriend both have the LG Ally...(she won't let me root hers yet..
That's beside the point. What I really want to know is why XDA doesn't have a forum for this phone. It's been successfully rooted (through adb and with one click method), it has a few descent roms, and a custom recovery. Android forums has a section for this phone, but I honestly like XDA better, simply because there are more devs here. Plus, I think with it's own forum here, the Ally could have a lot more potential, and a ton more support. I just wish I knew where to go to "officially" make this request.lol

Well really losing hope for froyo on my ally. Guess i will have to wait for an upgrade from verizon

It's going off the suggestion of nubecoder, and myself, however all the threads are unnecessary, but I think his intentions are genuine....it's just all the angry people are going to jump on this or another thread rather than allow it to be of benefit.

So how's the 11/24 build working out for people? I keep wanting to flash it but I've been using 4G alot lately. I don't care much about video recording and as for video playback I always use mx player anyways. Feedback?

Other than not being ble to call 911 if needed it is my daily driver. Love it so far. There seems to be a bug with ringtones that I have noticed so I just don't use the digital ringer. WiFi is pretty stable, but no reboots, lock ups, or much of anything else other than things listed.

I have been using this for over a week with no WiFi OR 3G issues. Maybe you should try a fresh install??
Edit: I just read this again...WiFi and 3g have never worked at the same time that I know of on any ROM

No.
The way things were before I stopped using it, you can either have WiFi broken, or 3G broken. You cannot have both working, and have the phone change between the two of them.
Battery life is horrible with it. 50% worse than touchwiz roms.
It is really not worth using until it is ready, and it is not near that level yet.

Neither 3g nor wifi are "broken" -- and the battery life is based on how much of an idiot you are.

Classy.
On 10-22, WiFi would cut out every now and then.
After updating to 11-24, WiFi no longer worked, period. There was a fix zip posted in the thread, which fixed WiFi, but broke 3G.
I reflashed to touchwiz at that point, as it was clear that CM7 was not going to work for me at its current stage.
Using touchwiz, I get 2 days of battery life.
I got around 28 hours with CM7.

And to think I wondered why there is so much drama in this developer community.

I have a problem logging into my goggle account. I had it set up fine when I came to cm7 (1122 build) from Acs Ics 4, as it prompted me after a clean install to login. I have since flashed the modified wifi 1122 build over the original 1122 and advance restored Data. I have now lost my goggle account login.
When I try to open the market it asks me if I want to login, yes or no. Whichever I select it takes me back to my homescreen.
So I go to settings, account & sync, add account: it only let's me create an exchange account (not sure if this is normal). I have entered my gmail account info, but it will not accept it and login. It asks for the domain and server... not sure if I can access my google account that way or not.
I don't really want to have to do a clean install every time a new build comes out and then reinstall all my apps. Doing an advanced restore to get data back in CWM is so much quicker and easier. Is there another option or remedy to this?
Any help is appreciated.

Flash Gapps. There's a zip in the OP of the CM7 thread or you can do it from the rom manager, if you are on CWM5.

Doh! forgot the gapps..... works now. Thanks for the reminder.

I tried it on my galaxy s3 using t-mobile hot spot and it kept redirecting my me to sign up for the hot spot plan. However, I did use a different WiFi router app and was able to tether. I am rooted btw.

Tether did not work with my S3, but does with my G2 and current S2's Did not get a chance to try a different rom on the S3 before sale tho so not sure about that.

Probably a stupid question on XDA, but are you rooted and running custom roms on your S2s? I'm interested if anyone has tried this on stock firmware with one of thee non-root tethering apps. I would test myself but I can't remember the last time I had a phone with stock firmware.

Yep I used both the s2 and s3 sucessfully.....
There is also another topic explaining another method of replacing ur apn in the general subforum of the tmobile s3
As for the s2 there is threads for apns and then for user agents
Live throws a code stating that some items may not be available but playing and netflix green light
Updates you have to dl on ur pc then transfer it to ur xbox by disc, etc storage medium
I have also changed my dns servers but I can still use tmobiles dns and do both
I use to have a full live experience until the last 360 update and now something borked....nebody have ideas? Lol

So I should have no problem using my sensation as a hotspot to power my roku box to stream Netflix to my t.v. right? Thanks!!!
