T-Mobile US HD2 does not have Wifi Router????

Hello all, I have been in the Blackberry world for a few years so I am a little out of touch on WM. I have spent about an hour with the HD2 and I am sold. One thing I noticed is the lack of Wifi Router. I know the European version has it and I would like to know if it is something easily ported to the US version? Thanks for any input and if this is a stupid question I am sorry, just haven't been on the WM scene for a while.
P.S. I know I could use WMWifirouter but I would like to try the HTC app (also help that its free).

I suppose it depends if there is a Sim free version made by HTC.
The version we have in europe is a different model.
If there is a sim free version made, there is nothing to stop you from flashing that ROM to a T-Mobile branded device (in theory).
That should give you all the functions HTC put in.

the o2 uk version doesnt have it either. I shoudnt worry, its readily available.

Sorry, I have searched the forums but could not find it. Could you please give a link to where you can download a cab to enable the wifi router function?

Wifi Router is part of a pack available at the above link.

I installed it on my TMOUS HD2 and it won't connect with my laptop I verified the wireless settings match but my laptop keeps saying to check the router...
i dunno, won't work for me...

make sure laptop is seeing it as an ad hoc connection, not infrastructure.

Is that a joke? What adhoc? It wouldn't work for me either (LEO). I can not see it from my laptop, no DHCP or static IP with the router SSID forced either.
Nevermind restart fixed all problems and that's really ad hoc!

Hey I have what's called a htc wifi router. Do a search for that. I'm pretty sure I have picked up the .cab from this site. This program works great tho.

im useing the router to send this! thank you much!

EasyTether

I was using EasyTether on my dual boot android Tilt phone before getting the Aria. I managed to find an apk but it's for an older version.
I thought I would see if someone can get a later version? as of post time the latest is 0.9.10.
I was able to use the Installing 3rd Party Apps post to load the version I found. So, it will work and doesn't require root access!
Edit: Removed attachment since there is a better way! Thanks guys!

Does it work on the Aria???

If you have Wifi shut down your phone, take out your SIM, turn it back on and connect to the market via Wifi. Easytether will come back along with other AT&T restricted programs. This is what i did in order to get it back on my phone and it works great. Also one of the reasons why im baking it into my personal rom so i always have it.

Please forgive the NOOB, me......but,
I have the Aria on it's way and desperately need to be able to tether. I'm marginally savvy but know nothing about rooting....is it required to tether?
Or can I simply follow the instructions above on an unmodified Aria out of the box, install easytether and have it work?

Works
Confirm, this really works.
Thanks A++++++++++++++++

It does seem to work just fine

Just so I'm clear, (cuz I'm frequently not)
When you write "it" works, the "it" in this case is an unmodified Aria, with Easy Tether installed via the no sim/wifi download method described above - correct?
With no other fancy mods, I should be able to tether to my laptop - yes?
(fingers crossed)......

Actually my Aria is in fact rooted running attN1's ROM. Sorry!
Can we maybe get someone with a stock out of the box Aria to give this a try and report back for our friend here!?
I'm sure we can get someone to try this for you. There seem to be plenty of Aria/Liberty users out there now.

Thanks for quick clarification - and no problem. If, in fact, this works, I believe it will be the first (easy) successful tether mod - if I'm not mistaken - and a fairly big development. I've been searching feverishly for an easy solution since placing my order yesterday (confident that it would eventually be cracked). If we don't get a confirmation on whether this works on a vanilla Aria by the time mine arrives, I will gladly give it a try and report back asap.
This place is an amazing resource.

You can get a good nights sleep tonight. I have verified that taking your SIM out and connecting to the Android Market using Wifi will allow you to download EasyTether and install it on a stock Aria. I too had a big need to tether, but I was keeping my Samsung Jack in my computer bag for that very reason.
Now that I have EasyTether loaded on my Aria it works perfectly. I will probably end up buying the full version for $10.00 because I will need https support once the trial runs out.

Tom

Thanks, yea, not a problem - I prefer USB. When I would BT tether with my Pure, it would run @ 2mps, USB brought it up to 10.

I to can confirm it works as well. Stock at&t rom, Vista 64. I also went to cnet's bandwith meter and pulled 395kbps... meh I'll take it.

Now I have my laptop which runs Fedora 11 connected via Easy Tether.
I used the ubuntu drivers from EasyTether's website and converted them to an .rpm using alien to install it on Fedora.
Thanks for posting the how-to's they led me in the right direction.

Look like this is the way to install any software in the marketplace that AT&T does not approve.

Amazin Find. I have wifi 90% of the places I go but this helps everyone else greatly!

I tried the same thing in Fedora 13, but things don't seem to be working. After converting .deb to .rpm and installing it (no errors showing), I tried:
# adb devices

Device (Evo 4G) is connected.
Then

So easytether sees it too.
However,

Nada. I tried (in a different window)

As stated, I'm connecting to an Evo instead of an Aria. Running Froyo supplied by Sprint/HTC. (Easytether's FAQ claims that it should work on Froyo too.)
Any suggestions?

i used pdanet to tethering with my GF aria the other day. Installation took a few minutes and worked great. The speed is much faster than the stock andriod browser.

[ Q ] Wi-fi N-draft ???

In WM there was a option (in custom builds)
to enable something like N-draft for wi-fi.
It was increasing perfomance of wi-fi (for me it was even 10x better)
Is there something like this for Android ???
Thanks in advance.

To enable 802.11 draft-N needs draft-N capable chip, which the HD2 does NOT have! The wireless modes that HD2 supports are 802.11b/g, so you either mean something like "Extreme/Super G" (which I also think HD2 hardware doesn't support) or you don't remember correctly because what you're asking isn't possible...
Regards

Well, I know this , this is a reason why i called this as : " N-draft like ".
Can anyone tell me is something like this works for Android :
http://www.slashgear.com/htc-hd2-tweak-enables-wifi-n-support-2464252/
and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589305
First is a link to article about N-draft capabilities,
second one is a link to BSB Tweaks showing N-draft enabling options.
So there is N-draft like application for Android HD2 ???

I'm pretty sure N is enable in android build I used, because my router says so.

A wireless N router usually transmits both N and G WiFi (and possibly B too), so being able to connect doesn't mean anything.

I never said the HD2 doesn't have an N chip, just pointed out that being able to connect to one doesn't mean ****. Thanks for pointing out it's got the hardware though, never heard that before.

It means ****(whatever you meant), if it connected to your router(N mode only turn on), or look at your router status, it would let you know what (****) mode of your connection (Mix mode on your router)

Are you on Stock kernel? You can try different kernels and see if that helps.
Alternatively, you can also try Barnacle Tether on the Market and see if that one works better.

Where did you get the app from? The version in the market essentially never works on our devices. Try ones from here:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=1
different people have had differing luck with different ones, but I'd try the most-recent first, if you can't get it to work, try another. Also, I don't use wifi tether really (just tried it out) but it has never worked for me more than once after booting the phone. So I'd suggest at least rebooting between attempts.

thank you soooooooo much it worked

now that I got my tablet to pick up the wifi tether app the first time i activate the wifi tether it power cycles my device and then when i click it the second time it works but cant surf

the latest (3.0-pre14) works fine for me with one hitch- if you want to tether over 4g, you need to start wifi tether with 4g off, start the app, then start 4g (or the other way around- i always mess it up ). doing the other way forces a reboot on my phone.

As far as dongle compatibility is concerned, no there isn't a way to get the drivers, nor will KitKat "solve" anything as there's nothing to solve, it's not a bug or issue, it's just the lack of a feature that, if enabled, would mean far less people buying the LTE version, which just wouldn't make business sense.

So it looks like there isn't a sim in the modem (Huawei 12d1:1406) but it works on older nexus 7.

So far no one has been successful connecting the dongle to the tablet?

Maybe a specific kernel that might accept the dongle?

Some have reported, in another thread, getting certain dongles to work with the ElementalX kernel (which has the modules for external USB modems, modules that Google removed starting with Android 4.3) and the PPP Widget app. It all depends on the individual dongle. I've recently ordered a portable hotspot as my solution...

Certainly. I ordered a refurbished FreedomPop Photon, and like the company's other devices, there is no charge for the first 500 megs of data per month. This is perfect for my light usage when on the road. It may not be the solution for everyone, but it is for me. Because it's a hotspot, I know my N7 can connect to it like any wifi router, so I don't have to find a kernel that has the necessary modules, or if PPP Widget works with my dongle.

Which ROM are you using, stock? I have installed ElementalX kernel and it does recognize my usb stick but it won't let me to connect. It just would stay in 'connecting' and does nothing else.
EDIT: It would also be nice if you'd be able to share your apk settings.

I'm using CleanRom 2.6 together with ElementalX. I would sure share them but I do not know what exactly you want, if you can be more explicit.
If you are referring to the settings of the PPP Widget, then, in my case I only changed the Apn and the dialing number. That is unfortunately dependent on the provider, it may vary in your case.
I also mentioned the fact that I use the latest version, this is important as the version before did not set the DNS server properly. What you get also try is to set you rom language to English, reboot and then try again.
