I bought HTC HD2 last year then I sold it because I enjoyed iPhone 3gs more. Three 3 days ago I trade in my iPhone 3gs with 2nd hand HD2 lol. I like its big screen size as well as the Windows Reuter provided in there. But one problem I'm facing now is why my Samsung Galaxy S can't detect the wifi from HD2 wifi hotspot? But my iPhone and laptop can detect it,no problem. Until now I don't know how to solve this issue.
Motorola Xoom
I have the same problem with my Motorola Xoom. I have been trying to connect my Xoom tablet to my HTC Leo / HD2, but I am not able to locate the device. I am able to connect both my desktop an laptop to my mobile HD2 hotspot. If any one knows how to solve our issues, please help. Thank You....
Hi,
Similar problem here. I used the xda wifi sharing app to connect my laptop to the internet using my HTC TP2 but for some reason my Android tablet doesn't see the access point at all, just sits there searching.
Couldn't find a dedicated thread for this app though any ideas people?
Thanks
Jon

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:

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.

Hi all
Hope someone can help
Bought my son a 7" epad/tablet for Christmas.
Problem is when I set up a Wi-Fi network on my HTC the tablet wont find/see it.
I have no problems linking my HTC phone Wi-Fi network to my laptop if I am out. And the epad/tablet finds my home internet Wi-Fi and hotspots outside home with no problem.
So I know the Wi-Fi network on my HTC phone works
And I know the tablet can see Wi-Fi networks.
The tablet just will not find my HTC one.
Does anyone know why or what I need to do to get around this issue please?
My only thought is that the HTC is on 3G and thats why?
Kind regards
I have the T-Mobile (USA) version of the HTC HD2, still with the latest stock ROM, Windows Mobile 6.5.
I think I once read here that the European HD2 came with an app to use the phone's 3G connection as a wi-fi hotspot to tether other devices to. The T-Mobile USA version did not come with that though.
It didn't matter to me before. I have often tethered my laptop to the internet through the phone, but no need for wi-fi for that-- it works fine with USB or Bluetooth. (I usually use the Internet Connection Sharing applet. Occasionally dial-up networking.)
However, curious about IOS apps, and not wanting to change phone carriers and pay high monthly fees to get an Iphone, I just bought an ipod touch 4th generation to play with. It's only kind of internet connection is wi-fi. That will work when one has a wi-fi Internet connection, but one does not have that everywhere. It may have BT to connect to a headset, but I doubt it could tether through the HD2 that way. It might be possible with a couple adapters to connect the USB ports, but I doubt it would tether that way either. (If someone has found a way to do either though, to tether an IOS device through a stock ROM HD2 via BT and/or USB, please let me know.)
However, if I could find a way to make the HD2's 3G connection appear as a wi-fi hotspot, I assume that would work, to tether the Itouch with.
Is there an app I can download for my T-Mobile HD2, to use its 3G connection as a wi-fi hot spot? (Just an app. I do not have time now to deal with putting on a different ROM.) Do you have a link to it? If anyone reading has used the app, could you review how well it works?
Thank you.
Download this app or any other version of this app from Freeware Pocket PC.

Since I posted the OP, I discovered the app WMWiFiRouter.
Is this one you link to the same app with a different name, or a different app? If the latter, can anyone compare the two?
Also, since the original (not T-Mo USA) HD2 had a wifi router buoilt in, created by HTC, would that app work better on the HD2? Any way to download and install that to the T-Mo version? (again, without any ROM flashing.)
Doubt Wifi will work as HD2 will be adhoc wifi & ios device will want infrastructure wifi ...
Only way I have managed it is connecting HD2 via Win 7 Notebook (USB tether) then use Connectify on my Notebook to setup a infrastructure wifi hotspot that works with everything.
Amazes me in this day & age & level of development that we still have to jump through hoop after hoop to achieve basic functions.
Really about time the big OS developers pulled their finger out & make functional OS's that connect & share between devices with simplicity.
Amazing how even a Windows device & Windows PC alienate each other ! Microsoft could of really jumped ahead here years ago if had a bit of common sense & innovative development.
I'm sure WP8 will sort it all out ! not :-/

I think it is pretty much the same app as the one you found is actually the one I use to use on my HD2 back when I used Win Mo. But for some reason I could not find it, the app I linked looks just like the one I use to use. Also I think the app you found is just another version of the HTC app.
At Mister B, first it is good to see someone with your expertise in Win Mo still hanging out an helping others, have you ever concidered applying for RC status? Also I had two buddies that use to come over and connect via WiFi off my HD2 with a iPod touch and a iPhone three. So maybe not all of Apple's I products are so stupidly restrained.
Done a google on adhoc & iPhone, seems is possible, never had any luck when I tried but next time I get an iPhone volunteer willing to mess about with settings a bit more I will give it a proper go.
ok, I'm at a loss on how to tether a Blackberry Playbook to my Htc Hd2 T9193 phone.
My HTC HD2 phones provider is Rogers with a dataplan.
I can tether my work laptop to the htc hd2, just fine. But I can't figure oue a way to successfully tether the Playbook.
Anyone who knows how to accomplish this, please, please help with some step by step instructions!
Thanks,
Sheldon

Hi Sheldon,
I had exactly the same problem and tried a number of approaches. Problem is that the playbook won't recognize ad-hoc wifi networks such as you can create with the HTC winMo tether app or wmwifirouter, only infrastructure.
Another option would be bluetooth but unfortunately the HD2 only properly supports the PAN profile whereas the playbook expects DUN. Having said that, with a lot of messing about i did manage to get a few successful momentary BT tethers out of the blue (never 2 in row) altho it was nowhere near reliable, suggesting there may be a solution in there somewhere.
In the end, I installed the fantastic darkstone SuperRAM FroYo v1.5 on the SD card as a dual-boot and used the built-in android wifi hotspot app which works flawlessly.

if your HD2 has the latest HTC (3.14) firmware on it, then the above install is a breeze (takes about 15 minutes with no flashing etc. required) and is an absolute no-brainer imo. since besides gaining the ability to tether your playbook a/ you get full android functionality with everything working; b/ it boots from winMo in under 30 seconds; and c/ you get your original winMo OS back any time you want just by rebooting, so best of both worlds.
Best thing I ever put on my HD2.
Hope this helps.

apologies if this has been addressed, i'm trying to determine if there is a fix for the nexus 7 being able to connect to adhoc networks. i came across this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1787680&page=1 but it ends about a month ago with no real resolution. this is a major concern for me, i've already returned one phone because it would only transmit adhoc. i need to be able to tether my nexus 7 for work purposes and i'm stuck with my old optimus v unless there is a fix. thanks!
