To make the tab get internet from a computer ?
At work i dont have wifi, and i wanna be able to connect the tab to my pc and download apps without using my data plan.
Is that possible ?
Bump, noone ?
You can try setting up using bluetooth PAN. Haven't try it before with my Tab. But probably works

All of my htc's would work with windows mobile device center and had internet with no problem.
Any other solution guys ? Bluetooth isnt really an option.

One of the few advantages of WinMo!
This blog post may help, but to be honest it sounds like a ballache to me!
If you are running Windows 7 machine with WiFi, you could also try Connectify to turn your Windows machine into a hotspot.

Hi there
i am new to android i recently purchase htc hero prior to this i was using htc raphael touch pro
my query is
in my touch pro i was able to surf internet on my mobile through my pc using the active sync from my pc
is there any way through which i can use my adsl internet from my pc to my htc hero
please help
If I was at my PC, I'd use my PC for the internet!
But hey, horses for courses eh.
No its not something I've heard anyone mention before. I take it you don't have WiFi then?
May be worth investing.

From my understanding he wants to do the opposite,... The hTC link is to use your phones data connection to connect your PC to internet,... I think they want to use their PC's internet connection to be able to surf on the phone?
ahh okay, my bad.
if the pc has a wireless card but the router isn't, you can set up an ad-hoc wireless network - but thats not something I have done on my hero, only with my elfs.
I'll have a look and see what I can find on my lunch break

OK,... So what CaptainStu says might be possible,... try to do a little research yourself if you can and post back what you find,... Just to save CaptainStu some legwork.
done a bit of googling on my lunch -
http://android.modaco.com/content/t...704/reverse-tethering-and-the-t-mobile-pulse/ post 9 may be of use - but I don't know if you are using a Linux PC. I haven't tried myself, but it is interesting to see what can happen.

hi every body. i've just bought new T-mobile and i tried alot of adroid verson ( matt, SC...) but i cant share internet from my laptop to hd2 by usb connection ( i'm using HTC sync)..
i want to do this..please help me...
thanks all..
I dont know what happen but when ppp went live usb tethering stopped working. Everyone uses wifi tether now.
Your laptop doesnt have wifi?
I asked a similar question sometime ago, please check this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=772244
The conclusion was: if you want to use your laptop's internet on the HD2 (in some kind of reverse tethering), the best is to use a software like VirtualRouter or Connectify to make an Acess Point from your wifi card that your HD2 can easily connect to. I am sorry, but there's not an easy USB solution like you have for Windows Mobile. I hope one day they to it, though.
You shouldnt need any special extra software. It just might be something that doesnt work in the kernal at the moment.
Native android devices can do it aslong as they are rooted.
Lets not say it isnt possible as that makes android sound gimp
My problem is: in my room..wifi is only enough for my lap ( HD2 can connect the wifi but because the wifi signal too weak...) and i'm using internet in my lap by wifi...so i cant using wifi tethering...hic....any solution??

Hello,
I am using an X10i. I've been wondering, are there any ways i can connect my phone to the internet using my computer's modem?
I am not trying to connect my computer to the internet by using my phone as a modem. Do not teach me how to do it. My question and that question are two different questions.
Thanks.
If u have a mac u can use its wirless as a hotspot if u connect it with internet cable. I do that for my phone. Hope this helps
Cheers

yeah ,turn your pc into a wifi hotspot..use softwares like virtual wifi router for windows 7
Note:it will work only if u use a cable to connect ur pc and have a jobless wifi in your pc..
you can also connect using bluetooth,i tried once but failed ,didnt tried much,it wasnt worth that much effort!!
pls dont be naive... not every wifi card supports wifi hotspot even with special applications and tools, and the native windows 7 could make only ad-hoc whis is not supported by android 2.1 or 2.2 as I know...I've read many forums and finaly bought wifi router and what I can say its that its really worth to have it...
yeah wifi card also imp..but most modern laptops and PC are quipped with such wifi cards
I can always use my Vaio for wifi hotspots with my X10..never faced any problems!!
It's not possible through USB. It possible with the stock function of win7 or software for your pc. (Only if you got wireless wifi card in it ofcourse)

I'm using Windows 7 native wifi sharing right now, it broadcasts as a regular wifi network with WPA-2. I use it for phones, consoles, etc

Because it will eat batter, no far distance supported and your internet will be ssssssssssssssssssssuper slow.
^^^This is true. At 2.1Mb/sec of throughput, the Bluetooth will be the slow cog in that wheel of connection.

AGAIN!!! Not every wifi card support it!!! I ve tried ale possibilities (ad hoc, bridge) without succeed...with ipod touch 2G, samsungs i8510, i8910 everything worked, so the problem is only with X10 and android!!! You could make wifi hotspot only with newer or supported cars (my NTB is 3 years old and has unsupported intel wifi card) so this is the deal...

It is possible on an HTC phone, so I'm a bit surprised that there isn't an app to allow us to do this.

I wasn't arguing that all cards support it, I was just saying that when it IS compatible with your card, it isn't adhoc.
Try using Connectify on your computer. It is free. If it manages to create the hotspot on your wireless card, your mobile will be able to use the new hotspot connection created. It has worked for at least 3 of my friends and it enables me to share connections on my laptop no matter where I am.
Hey guys, how to enable conectifity from laptops/pc to our phone, with internet sharing!? tried modifying the wifi script and adding the network name but seems to not work, im using Oxygen rom btw!

haha Connectify continuously made my computer crash. I had to uninstall it in Safe Mode. Make sure that the network sharing adapter is the one with the internet connection and the hosting adapter has Wifi compatibility. I think the settings can be found when right-clicking on the Connectify icon on the Taskbar.
Can u xplain it a bit more for me? Want to conect my phone with my laptop's internet

Have you had this problem in multiple ROMs? You can maybe re-install Connectify and try.
WOOT! 400th post
Actually don't think ROMS are the problems! If no phone gets the signal it cause of something isn't it? I think swift can but IDk

I don't use Connectifi cause it was not working well for me (driver problems etc.) so I searched for something similar and found Maryfi. This tool works nicely and is pretty easy to use.
Gonna try it then! Hope it works, u think it gives internet to the phone?
Well, im actually using Pebe's 2.3.7 v5.1 rom, and it detects conetifity and works fine! Cool! thanks anyways!
hi,
I have a Dell XCD 35, it is Gen2 with 512 MB ram..
I am quite happy with the phone, for I hardly do anything beyond making calls and navigation. However, I am stuck at sharing this phone with my laptop internet connection as
1. My laptop runs a Vista Home..
2. Dell XCD35/ ZTE BLADE wont detect Ad Hoc connections.
3. Tried reading various forums and have now realised that either I have to upgrade my vista to Windows 7, else get a stand alone Wi Fi router, or I have to root the phone and do some wpa supplicant... change.
4. I have absolutely no clue/ experience about rooting a phone or writing/ editing command lines..
Is there any application available in the market, that shall enable my XCD35 to share vista Laptop internet connection?
If not, are there any other ways, you can connect XCD35 to a Vista Laptop.. using Bluetooth or USB cable?
Thanks in advance
I don't know much about this,but you can try PdaNet.
