What are you trying to get it to do? There are only so many BT profiles, and you need to have client AND server support on the respective devices in order to get something going. For example, you would need to have FTP service enabled on the mT4G AND have an Bluetooth FTP client on the iPhone in order for that to work. If trying to send contact data, you might need to be in the contact application on one phone to send data to the other. So, it depends on what you're trying to do.

That's a hilarious assumption considering that as soon as you plug the phone in with a USB cable, the last option that pops on the screen is for tethering. At least for a Virgin Mobile HTC Legend.

I've found out the same thing today with my new Legend. My old HTC Diamond had this (an I presume all other WinMo devices), it's a pity newer devices like Legend don't.
I presume this is more a limitation of Android than a limitation of the device itself. If someone get a way of doing it, please share.
Another story is synchronizing e-mails with Outlook via USB cable. The setup of an Exchange ActiveSync account failed for various reasons (this is not the issue) and I would like to have the "old" USB sync back as it was on Diamond or other WinMo devices. It this also not possible?
the problem is not with Android itself, but with the Windows, which cannot route netwrok traffic into USB pport.
Linux on the other hand can and there is solution /showpost.php?p=5050462&postcount=5. So I guess Google has nothing to do with this
I was able to do it this summer using the program, Connectify.
From my laptop to my Legend. Hope that helps.
I was just going to say I'm sure it's possible since Windows Mobile does it by default through the device center.. but I would imagine you need different software for an Android phone.
I would look into Connectify as the person above mentioned. Also you could probably setup a computer to broadcast its connection through wifi to your phone (which is the impression I get from the google results for Connectify)
It looks like this was added in froyo or htc sense 2 as i have it on my desire z now

Running CyanogenMod nightly (based on Froyo) and there nothing's added to it regarding this. Maybe it's a HTC addon (from Sense 2) if you have it on Desire...or they have this activated for newer devices.
Connectify allows your mobile to browse the net through your PC's Internet connection, by creating an ad-hoc WI-FI network to which your phone can connect. This is useless if your Internet connection is already through WI-FI. You cannot have the Internet connection AND the hot-spot working in the same time using the same WI-FI card...at least I couldn't make it work.
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??
Try WiFi internet sharing in Windows from your laptop.

when i using internet in my lap by wifi , how can i still using my wifi in my lap to share to my android HD2??
I've read all over the internet of people with MT4G phones being able to connect via the wi-fi hotspot.
I cannot. My computer picks up the hotspot, gets and IP address, and then tells me it cannot connect to the internet. All this in the network control panel. I'm on a MAC.
Worst case I can call and add the 15.00 package and get some trouble shooting then cancel later but I'd rather not have to do that.
Any ideas??
FYI- This happend when stock unrooted and still happening rooted with gorilla sense rom installed.
Thanks in advance....
do u have gorilla newest rom the 2.3 update?
make sure u search for a.rom that has the mac wifi connect working in the.changelog, i beleive its a known.issue...

I have the GS right before that... But as I stated I had this problem before rooting/flashing.
I can connect on any wi-fi direct to the phone, so far.
hmmm.not sure, try the new gorilla sense or check is changelog i think that was one of his fixes.. not sure

Try to Play around with the settings. i was having a hard time connecting via one of the password modes. The computer would detect the network and connect but I want able to do any browsing. Had to try a few different settings before finding one that works.

Hey there,
im currently using the Future Shocks MIUI 1.14 Rom. Did anybody manage to use apps like android manager ? "http://lifehacker.com/5669722/android-manager-wifi-is-a-computer+based-synchronization-and-phone-manager"
i'm not able to use any software that is using wifi to connect to the pc. I don't want to use a usb cable all the time to put files on my HD2. It would be more easy if i would be able to use some wifi explorers.The problem is, that it's not able to get a connection. Tried it at 3 different routers, but it's not workin The integrated wifi sync function in the MIUI data browser is not workin either. Somebody is havin an idea?This is definetely not a rom issue. I'm havin this problem since Android has been released for the HD2. The strange thing is, it was workin with any sense build. I really need a solution fpr this
thx
no ideas ? really need a fix for this
isn't anybody of you using some wifi mangers/explorers?
here's a link http://global.mobileaction.com/product/product_AM.jsp
Have you tried a Bluetooth connection instead? Wonder if that would work for what you need to do. I can sync my laptop to my phone thru Bluetooth.

i just want to use some prorgamm like wifi manager. Bluetooth is waaay to cumbersome
i just purchased an CPO 2009 Acura TL with the tech package, it has the ability to use my phones data plan for stuff (AcuraLink), and when it was trying to connect to my phone, it was failing.
im not sure, but can our phones sync/share/exchange the network access via bluetooth? my car has bluetooth set up, where i just turn it on and it accesses it without a problem, just wondering why it wont sync up the AcuraLink stuff.
thanks in advance for any help.
I'd imagine you need a USB connection to use your phones internet? Just my thoughts not sure

You doing wifi hotspot? Maybe you have to pay the extra money to tether...
He's trying to share internet through BT. It's not the same as WiFi hotspot. AFAIK, the feature isn't supported by default in the OS and/or in Sense overlay, you might need an app (Barnacle or one of those) to share internet over BT.
Sounds like you want blue tooth tethering. I'm pretty sure it's possible to do with our phones. I don't remember if I did it with a specific ROM though or if I just used an app for it. I feel like some roms might have it built in, I just don't remember which since I never use it.
Try out Barnacle or Wifi tether though, if it was an app that let me do it then I'm pretty sure it was one of those. I don't think either of those is on the market btw, so you'll have to search for them.
Update: Zipsnet ICS has it btw, and it seems to be functioning properly for me. Thinking back, I'm pretty sure alot of the roms I've used have it available. It's under the tethering settings.
