If you are connected to your router you will be using it. Check icons on top bar to see whether you are connected to wifi or 3G etc
Also, try using software like NoData so you can disable device from connecting to 3G by using a toggle on/off button. Plenty of other similar apps about if you search ........some roms even come with these installed like NRG's
Thanx for that,i used HD Tweaks and NoData and both worked like a charm.

Hi
Love my HD2 but I am on O2.
The gits have removed the wireless router mode.
I know of 4 other HD2's and they all have it on (all non O2).
Looked and looked but cant find anywhere that tells me how to turn it back on.
Dont want to go the whole hog and load a new rom unless some one has the offical htc one.
Is there a reg tweek for it?
Thanks
Hi,
test the attached cab.

There is a difference to Wifi and the Wifi router the OP is talking about.
The wifi router is an app that allows you to share your phone's internet connection with a computer by creating a wifi network.

Installed cab. It appears in the remove programs list but nowhere else.
Is there a reg entry i need to change so it appears in comm manager?
Thanks so far
any update on this?
any update on this? I just got my HD2 and want to set up the wireless router feature as well.
Why did Tmobile deactivate it in the first place?

Because the swines want to sell you a USB dongle with a separate contract, I expect
o2 germany
my 02 germany hd2 is able not act as wifi-router. Are you Uk costumer???
update
Update for everyone.
Yes I am on uk O2.
They have taken it off so you dont use your mobile as your home broadband and overload their network (fair usage policy etc). O2 also stopped an app being released for the iPhone that did the same.
I have installed the cab file for the wifi router but cant run it from anywhere. There is probably a registry setting to get it to display in comm manager!
Does anyone know where????
Phone works fine on usb cable and internet connection sharing (with fast download speeds) but often I dont what to plug it into a PC. Would be so much easier to turn on router mode and connect that way.
Help!!
I have a problem, Random ppl are getting my HOme connection on there lap top? i know it has to do with my phone is there anyway i can hide this from ppl?

Are you tethering by USB cable, or using a wifi-sharing app?
use this cab

The WiFi sharing app requires a password -- "WEP Key" for logon, right? Maybe change the default "1234567890" to something less guessable.
no you need ten numbers key

My point was that it could be something more-random -- less-guessable -- than the default "1234567890".
yes you can use any key number
if you can use bluetooth, it doesnt kill your battery as fast and its a more private connection otherwise like they say use a more complex password
Bluetooth tether?
I have been searching to no avail, yet I know its out there somewhere.. Is there a cab for blue tooth tethering for the tilt2 (at&t)?
I have been using the wifi router for quite some time successfully, but the new Archos 70 tablet I bought will not pic up the ad hoc wifi network? help?
is it possible?
on the Market, i could find 'Wireless Tether For Root' which requires netfilter in the kernel so it doesnt work on the X10 , and i could also find 'Barnacle Wifi Tether' which only tells me that it 'Could not find wireless interface!'
use Barnacle Wifi Tether go into settings and set lan interface to athwlan0
then it will work, you dont have to turn wifi on... just leave it off. Thats all....

yes you have to tape athwlan0 in LAN config barnacle
Dont press start.. go to settings n type athwlan0.. make sure ya wifi is off and ya 3g is on.. then give it an attempt! if it doesn't work first time try once more!!

Yep, you need to enter the LAN value: "athwlan0", and after that should work fine. I find it doesn't really like to work when using "GSM only" APN setting, and can be a bit finnicky at first start sometimes, but otherwise it works well.
Does drain my battery pretty quickly though. Even plugged in via the X10 charger, the battery still drops, though my 3G connection isn't great at work so it may be that it's pushing to maintain the connection.

It worked great! Just too bad that I've spent up my 6b GB this month. So the internet connection is EDGE instead of HSDPA :/

If I dont remember wrong, it is an Atheros AR6000 used in X10 for wifi.
hey guys, that "athwlan0" thing did the trick
one quick question, if a computer connected via the ad hoc wifi is running a webserver, can i just type its lan ip address (which is assigned by barnacle's dhcp) into the phone's browser and access it that way?
i've set the LAN settings. i have root. and i can get the connection up and running on the phone. my laptop see's the connection and connects to it. but there is no internet access. doesn't allow me to surf.. any ideas.. does a DNS need to be set?
Another point to make is the X10i defaults the spelling of Athwlan0 with a capital A, remove the cap and put a small a like the others have spelt and all will work ok.
Only thing I'd like to add after using Barnacle all day at work every day since rooting:
Be aware it eats your battery for lunch... even if plugged in.
My battery life seems to vary pretty wildly (likely depending on how bad my signal is at my desk that day). But, at best, while plugged into the X10s 700mA charger, I'll get a full day's use (8hrs) and be sitting at 45-50% charge. On bad days (like today), I hit 30% charge by noon (3.5 hours into my day), and had to turn Barnacle off and let my phone recharge for an hour or so.
it'd be nice if i could get barnacle to f'ing work. i can connect to the connection it creates via my laptop just can't surf.. soooo frustrating.
if you are connected to Barnacle and plug into USB it will not let you surf even if it says your connected so if you need to charge your phone use the wall charger instead.

That's not correct, I'm surfing right now using barnacle. I plugged in the phone a few minutes ago without any issues. Connecting with USB works fine when using barnacle.
Hi!
Bought a Tattoo for my kid and now we got a huge bill because the wifi seems to dissconects itself all the time and she is not that good checking the wifi state.
Is this a known problem or what can i do about it?
Using a Netgear N router and WEP (must use WEP because of my stupid XBox that can't handle any other security).
Please let me know how to fix this so she can use the phone!
I have this problem too, and as I found it's a known problem on net.
I'm using wifi fixer, which running as a service and reconnect everytime the connection drops. It's not a solution, but make things better.

Hi!
Thanks for the info, is that an app i can find on the Android's app place?
he he he.... did not notice your link Sorry!
Looks to me that HTC is screwing things up even with Android devices...
This phone realy sucks!
Me again!
I've struggled with this phone a couple of hours now but i can't get the wifi to work now.
I press connect to my network, i have entered the wep password but a couple of secs later it says disconnected...
What can i do about this?
I have the same problem - Is it best to configure the Wi Fi settings like IP address etc ? And if so whats the best settings for it?
I've managed to get it to connect now, removed an app that kept track of wifi traffic. But it seems to me that Tattoo does not use wifi when i use YouTube for example. Checked my providers homepage for traffic that we pay for and they had traffic for today. And the phone has not been used all day until my test this evening.
Is there a way to tell the phone to use just the wifi connection when using youtube app or explorer...?

install apn on-off when you use wifi, just disable APN connection.
then if you need umts/gprs is 1click enabled

Thanks, this sounds easy enough for my kid to handle when she wants to use the wifi and to be sure that it uses the wifi and not the expensive data from our phone company.
Thanks again! Will try this!

So the problem is: I have an android phone MOTOROLA FIRE XT530. I have got wifi , belkin router in my home , which i use to connect my laptop and cell phone to browse on internet! There is no problem in browsing from laptop indicating there is no problem with my wifi settings or anythng related to wifi!
BUT, on my phone, when i turn wifi 'ON' , the wifi works for 2-3 minutes then it automatically disconnects and then instantly reconnects itself! I dont really have problem with this thng but the other day i was upgrading my swype to swype beta and had to download this application but the app is too large sized that in the middle of the downloading my wifi went off thereby stopping the download(n sadly its non resumable). I am a huge fan of swype and have been using it for quite a while now. I want it upgraded at any cost!
I know this wifi turn on/off problem is faced by many but this is quite a headache nw! I have come to know about 'POWER SAVING MODE' n stuff, but sadly i can't even get to that menu coz i dont know how to!
Someone plz plz plz , help me as i am stuck with it from a long tym nw! anticipating early n useful replys :fingers-crossed:

Open app drawer>>Settings>>Wireless and Network>>Wi-Fi settings>>(now tap first soft key to see options)>>select advanced.
Now just tap on Wi-Fi sleep than tap on "Never"
Actually as the screen turns off wifi too turns off with that.
Hope it fixes your issue.

Sometimes I too have similar problem with my xperia. But the problem disappear after rebooting the phone and/or router.
I think it related to your phone's uptime. As the more the uptime, the memory tends to be fragmented and it has impact to wifi drivers (?).
it happens regardless of the never option

Guys hang on looks like a found a solution to this crap.
I carefully observed what happened when my wifi turned off automatically. My phone flashed a message "Get IP address fail, please check wifi password or wifi app status"..
I thought of making my wifi setting from dynamic to static. I used "ipconfig/all" in my cmd to get the details for setting up static ip. i rebooted both my phone and router. And bang!!! It has not been showing the problem now.! I've been using it for 10 minutes now at a stretch ( for the first time).. Am happy and hope that it doesnt recur. Will let u guys know , if the prob comes back!
