I know that working in samsung phones, but it is possible with HD2?
+1
It cant be a hardware issue due to it being possible with an android rom. The only major hurdle is the closed system of WP7.
Hopefully though a god like dev will work it out eventually
that would be awesome. i'm really missing this feature on my hd2. can't use my laptop for internet atm
Is there not a wifi hotspot application for WP7?
Agreed, really is vital for many people.
I have had it confirmed directly by HTC that it is possible on the HD7 but that functionality is removed by the operator.
If its there, it can be unlocked / activated but not by a menial like I!
Hopefully someone comes up with some wireless tethering soon
I wished there is one for WP7. I always use tether on my HD2 with Windows Mobile 6.5, but dang
Vote here: http://wpdev.uservoice.com/forums/1...ering-so-phone-can-act-as-hot-spot-?ref=title
Some people have wrote tethering drivers for other WP7 devices so it should be possible for the HD2, right?

Tried USB tethering for the first time today and I was pleased with how quickly it set up and worked.
Now, I have HTC sync installed as this is my main PC, but does anyone know the set of driver files needed for Windows to pick up the Hero as a modem?
I'd like to pop them on the SD card to allow me to enable internet access on anyone's PC or laptop without installing full HTC sync.
If you've a default set up, the NDIS drivers can be found in c:\Program Files\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files.

Thanks but it only has the drivers there for Vista x64 (my OS), I really need drivers for XP and Vista x86 too
Odd - when I installed it here on W7 x86, I get both 32-bit and 64-bit driver directories. If you can, I suggest you install on a 32-bit installation to get the driver files.

Hello everyone,
This is one of my first post/reply here, so before anything thank you very much to all here for sharing such good infos.
I've tried to setup my Hero for use as USB Modem as well, but can not find the "HTC Remote NDIS Network Adapter" driver either. Reading on different forums it seems it used to be on the memory card shipped with the device, but I bought mine 4 days ago and the file isn't there now. HTC has probably changed policy regarding this. Can anyone point me to where I could download this file to install on my lapto using Vista.
Thank you very much.
You can download HTC sync direct from HTC's website. It contains all the necessary software and drivers, and is a later version than the one that shipped with the Hero (at least when mine was shipped anyway!).

u got it to work with the default program in htc sync??? i thought it doesnt work..i tried and i got an error
Works fine for me.

do u happen to have sprint service? im getting a username/password issue...i know its not the wrong info because i can get online fine without tethering..... im reading at many other places that sprint doesnt have it working yet??
No, mine is not a Sprint Hero. It is possible that Sprint have disable this option.
You might want to try PDAnet to see if that works with a Sprint Hero (see http://www.junefabrics.com/android/index.php )

thanks dave..yea pdanet does work, i havnt yet tried it because its a trial version and u have to pay for it...i came from windows mobile where tethering was super easy to do and the apps were plentiful.... but it seems the android market doesnt have tethering ..... i rely on tethering alot for when im traveling, i thougth the android market wouldnt be a problem with tethering apps..but it seems im wrong
The GSM Hero support tethering out of the box - therefore the issue is not Android, but more likely a restriction your carrier has imposed!
First things first though - check to see if you have "Mobile Network Sharing" in Menu->Settings->Wireless Controls.
Regards,
Dave
yes, i have the mobile network sharing... i even install the drivers for tethering fine... im getting a error 67 saying that my usrname and password for my internet is not valid.... although i can go on my internet normally via my phone only...i cannot connect a usb to it from my laptop.... right after i connect it, the internet disconnects from the phone then i get an error.... you are right about sprint blocking it.... but theyve been blocking it since windows mobile...people got around it with a simple app which came with all the hacked roms.... it seems like an issue here with the sprint android.... but maybe its still new?

Yes it is still very new. As with WinMo, you need a hacked ROM, but these aren't available yet for the Sprint Hero as it's only just been released. Once you've got a rooted ROM on your device, you should be able to use wireless wifi tether - the meantime, PDAnet is probably your best bet.

oem.inf
I would like to share my solution. I modified the oem.inf file in the oem.zip(attached) ,by changing the manufacturer name and device id as given in the PC 's device manager(unknown device).
It should work for xp,seven,vista.
Hi folks I currently own a TG01 but thts going back tomorrow with numerous faults, I have been chosen to have eith this Hero or a LG km900, I do like this Hero tho because of Sky maps and the OS, question is is it possible to browse the internet on the computer vis data cable etc from the Hero?
Regards
Mark.
with ubuntu it is a piece of cake, should be with windows too. idk whether root is needed (don't think so), or if the feature is disabled in branded roms.
You're able to share you're mobile (internet) network with your pc so yes, even in windows it's easy and you don't need root.
You do need root for wifi tethering
I've been looking at the T-Mobile official support forum on their website, and seeing quite a few people with problems running WiFi (or not being able to get it going again) and WiFi tethering after updating to the new 3.14 ROM.
Is it a coincidence that T-Mobile is announcing a new Tethering Plan just after this update? Or did T-Mobile deliberately "kill" WiFi tethering to force users to buy the new Tethering plan?

Wifi tether was never on the HD2 to begin with, so nobody will know if it was a coincidence or not.
Indeed, WiFi tethering is something that has to be added by the end user, so it was never officially sanctioned by T-Mobile to begin with...but as far as intentionally screwing it up, I do not think T-Mobile would do such a thing. I mean comeon, they aren't Apple afterall. I personally chalk it up to a poor WiFi driver stack provided in the new ROM. Installing a new radio MAY help, but it's unlikely.
Here's my theory:
It seems to me that the 3.14 ROM has a feature to turn off or put your data connection in standby mode, (same deal with the wifi), when the device is idle... Which makes sense. It also turns off your data connection if you are connected to wifi. Still makes sense. SO if you are using your phone as a wifi router, that means you are probably on your other device and not on your HD2 and it's idle, so it shuts it down.
Most likely it was implemented to save battery life as well as save wasted network data.
You can't really call it sabotage when this device didn't come with a wifi router program in the first place. Not even an oversight by the developers. Although I admittedly did feel a little cheated when I realized that the US HD2 didn't come with the wifi hot spot. It was one of the features that was highlighted by HTC's marketing team for the HD2. It was also one of the main reasons that I wanted the phone, besides the fact that the screen was huge and it looked awesome. Of course once I started nerding out on it I quickly found that I could just install a cab.
If my theory is correct, maybe someone will come up with a work around. If not, then those of you who depend on the wifi tethering and want a stock ROM, should install Shehrams stock 2.13 ROM with the 2.10 touch drivers. It's pretty much flawless with the exception of a few minor known 2.13 issues. There aren't many. The biggest one for me was the touch sensitivity, which this ROM fixes. With the 2.10 touch drivers 2.13 is pretty great.
Obviously you do need to have HSPL to flash the ROM, but you can always go back to stock by flashing a stock ROM from a microSD card.
I just got around to testing this and i've been connected to my HD2 Wifi Router for over an hour on the web and it hasn't disconnected once... Which program are you using? Also my Wifi signal is great.
ditto on the wrong program, tom codon still works for me.

I really don't see the need for wi-fi tethering. What is its advantage over Bluetooth or USB tethering?

BT is sssssssssslllllllloooooooowwwww compared to wifi tethering and USB tethering
the main advantage over USB tethering is no cable required. The disadvantage is sucking the life right out of your phone's battery

Has anyone compared WiFi VS USB tether speeds? I would think USB would be faster.
I am running an HD2 with Froyostone 3.2.
I purchased a G2 and switched to Android web...using the Android SIM in the HD2...does it make a difference..Im not sure.
When in WinMo i can access the internet..and in Android as well, but i get alot of drops in the Android.
Anyone else try this ?

Are you talking about your data plan on your contract/tariff?
They largely mean nothing important. APN's will invariable be the same (this especially rings true if you changed something on your tariff but nothing changed on your phone), it's just a way of the networks and carriers to try and make more money off people.
Thank you.
Can you tell me is there anything I can do to keep the network from dropping out so much. I read through some threads...but don't really understand what I need to so exactly
htc hd2 froyostone
Atm PPP data disconnects are a tricky beast to contend with. There are lots of threads that deal with the situation, but as far as I am aware (and it would be big news!) it's not been fixed permanently on any build.
I'm using Shubcraft 2.0 atm and my data only disconnects when I switch towers (basically when I travel outside of my local area) but turning my mobile data off then on again brings it back. It's a minor inconvenience to me, I know it's a great annoyance to others who aren't as lucky as me.
The only real advice I can give is keep reading those threads that deal with it, and see if other peoples fixes/workarounds work for you.
Thanks again....that's pretty much what I been doing disconnecting data...other than that..I have no other issues with this build
..I rarely even use the G2..hah
htc hd2 froyostone
Hello, i used to own a htc hd2 untl it was stollen, and now i miss it so damn much i'm gonna get another. I was unaware of it's incredible capabilitys though until recently. When i get my new one it will be the T9193 build. Living in Australia, i need this to access the next g network to get the reception where i work. I have two questions,
if i boot Android or Windows phone 7 on it, will it just receive ordinary reception or will their be no change to reception?
Also how well do android and wp7 run? are they run as well as they do on their native devices. (i have seen clips on youtube, but they all just show how great they are, and don't actually discuss negatives)
I have used both Android and WP7 on my HD2, and I still prefer Android. Just basicly you can do more with it and there is more apps and games for it.
My only problem I encountered so far is with WP7 that you need an activation key for it by microsoft(25 digit code, there are sticky's on the forum how to get these) and that the marketplace isn't open for my country.
On android I never really had a problem, worked great and easy.
I'm still running on WP7 as I want to try more stuff on it(unlocking and all, didn't get to that yet).
About the reception, I dont know. I always just boot it up and connect to the 3g when it is available.
