Is it possible for any of the current 3G phones with WiFi to act as a WiFi Access Point for other devices?
I currently have a Jasjar with Vodafone IE's unlimited data plan for €40 per month and would love to have the Jasjar acting as a WiFi access point at home, in car etc.
Also with HSPDA now available I don't mind changing to another WM5 device that supports the higher speed and could act as an WiFi access point
I'd like to know the answer to this also as when I get my Vario 2 with unlimited data i thought it would be cool to use this to play on the Nintendo DS WiFi service... wishful thinking maybe.
Currently, it's very hard to do what you ask for as the OS doesn't support connection sharing; it must be done with third-party apps like the commercial version of Toonel or my HTTP proxy.
Please read my latest AKU3-related article (posted a few days ago to the General forum here); in there, I've elaborated on this question a lot.
I'm guessing the AKU3 article is the same one as you posted recently on your Smartphone and PocketPCMag blog.
The link to the proxy is prtty cool and may come in handy in the future when I get the Vario 2 (TyTn) and unlimited data. For now I've installed it all on my Wizard to get an idea of how it all works. Unfortunately theres no PAN support on the wizard but there is on my stand alone PDA.
Anyway thanks for your help, I'm still gonna keep a look out for anything that could possibly make the Pocket PC identify itself as a WiFi Access Point (As the Nintendo DS does not support Ad Hoc and only Ap's) and will continue to read your blog.
Hey guys i'm thinking about getting this phone or the tilt. Main reason is i know WM6 supports 802.1x wifi security modes, which my school uses EAP-PEAP. i dont know whether or not the g1 supports it. Does it? i've been googling for a bit and nothing comes up. Thanks in advance.

All I can see is WPA and WPA2 it doesn't let me configure it further. So I am going to guess no... I don't have any EAP or RADIUS routers to check.
But even if it doesn't have it... it can always come out later cause it is just software.
damn how long will it take........honestly i believe they released a half baked product anyway hopefully they'll do it in time before i get my tilt.

You have to remember this product has only been out a week and a half and already they sent out a firmware update. Most other HTC devices don't get updates unless its from WM 6 to 6.1
Google likes to release things that are just bare minimum and use your feedback to build the rest. You will probably see quite a few firmwares being released. Remember this is all to benefit you. While it may be "half baked" to you right now... in the future it will include all the things you need... but not all those things you hated about other OS's
oh they already have firmware updates out? thats cool. Thanks
PEAP and 802.1x
Developers! I wish that i could contribute but i'm not a programmer. I am however leading a group of students on my campus to use the G1 to it's fullest potential. Everything from Gapp's to media sharing. The issue now is that there is no support/options for PEAP authentication on our campus environment. We have some of the best wifi coverage of most campus's i've been to but it defeats the $200 bill of the G1 if i have to rely on the edge network.
Is there any developers I can test configs for? I'll be a tester and can usually report back quickly.
needed configs for campus:
-WPA
-TKIP
-802.1 and PEAP
-AD username and Pswd
Thanks!

It should work fine if you have root and set up the wifi connection manually with a custom wpa_supplicant.conf, the iptables thread in the development section would be a good start for reading what ya need to do. the default wpa_supplicant.conf on the device has all the settings possible in the comments.
Hi all,
I bumped this topic instead of creating a new one. So i hope this the right way. If i should make a new topic please say so. But this was the closes and only thing i could find about the topic.
Is there any information about getting RADIUS or 802.1x working on the G1. (My campus has this and i like to have internet access on my phone there as i do not have a data abbo).
I read that rooting your phone is a option, but i am not sure what image i should use and how to install it so i hope there is a way to do it on 1.6.
Looking forward to your replays.

I have connection now with a WPA-PEAP network. That one is working but the raduis (8.02.1X) still shows up as web
Please help, i am sorry i've been flooding with questions on this board lately. I have an unfortunate model it seems
I can never get a connection using wifi. I think its because it gets Incorrect Wi-Fi Channel Range. But it seems the link available here is for 614c. How do you fix this issue for 612c?
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsuppor...swLang=13&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=hh-61577-1
have you tried running the patch on the 612c? it should work, i've not used that one, but have installed all the 614c FW updates and some other patches and they work fine (on a 612c that is) its the same device, just different locations. I have not had an issue with wifi though so have no need to run patch.
btw i think you would have recieved more help if you made a single thread and posted all your problems in there
Yes i tried using that by forcing it to update on 612c but the installer forbade me saying "This is not for your device" or something of that nature...
Something is confusing me even more. It turns out that i can connect easily to other networks (in Cafe's, restaurants) but not in my own home.
Is it because my ISP wants its customers to put DNS values into the router? I'm not very network literate.
Perhaps i should ask this in another forum. God will you send me a messenger to sort this out? (OMG I'm praying out loud again)
I don't care whether you delete this topic or not. It is, somewhat, development related. I'm just doing a new topic for this thing because, if I were to post this on a ROM thread, it would have become covered with 100 other posts within the hour, decreasing the chances of the developer reading it! My hope, with this thread, is that someone interested or someone who knows about this, sees it and does something about it! Please read first, and if you, the one who has the power to delete threads for whatever reason, consider it utterly useless and retarded, delete it.
I'm a new DHD user (switched over from the Desire). This issue was in Sense ROMs for the Desire, as well. The Desire S had this problem with stock GB, too.
In CM-based ROMs such as MIUI (which is what I'm currently using), you get an "Advanced" section under Wireless Networks. From there, you can choose the wi-fi channels (11, 13, 14). On a freshly flashed MIUI, no channel is selected. I have two wi-fi networks in my appartment (one is mine, one is from a neighbour). That second wi-fi network, from my neighbour... my phone does not see it (unless I choose 13 or 14 wi-fi channels).
Funny thing. That neighbour's wi-fi... it's set on channel #3. It's a MSI RG54SE II router, if that matters.
Now, on Sense ROMs, such as Android Revolution HD and RunnyDrOiD (the ones I have tried so far), you don't get the option to choose the channels. So... that RG54SE II is unseen by my phone.
Back when I was having the Desire... Only LeeDrOiD ROM had that "Advanced" section under Wireless Networks. Not sure if that's the case with his ROM for the DHD, as well...
So, this thing is not only for the DHD. It's also for the Desire, and the Desire S. My gilfriend has a DS, and until I convinced her to let me unleash her phone's lockers and flash something on it, she could only see 3 Wi-Fi`s (stock 2.3.3, that is), while I could connect to all 20 that were available in the zone.

Hope you get my point. Hope you know what I'm talking about. Hope I'm not the only one that noticed this!!!
If anyone has any idea on how to solve this... please tell me. I have tried LeeDrOiD's "Adhoc networking" (that was the only network-related addon I could find, so...) patch, but that didn't do the work. I don't know what will, since there isn't any addon for this... or I'm blind? Open my eyes, then - KINDLY, not with a banhammer.

This is not the answer you're looking for, but it's worth a mention. You should just ask your neighbor to use a recommended channel. I notice that you're outside of the U.S., where you are supposed to use channels 1, 5, 9 or 13 to prevent wi-fi networks from interfering with each other (within the U.S. you are supposed to use channels 1, 6 or 11). You can make up a story and tell your neighbor that his oddball channel 3 configuration (that he probably decided to use for no good reason) is causing interference with your own network, and you have the technical proof to back it up. From Wikipedia:
"There are 14 channels designated in the 2.4 GHz range spaced 5 MHz apart (with the exception of a 12 MHz spacing before Channel 14). As the protocol requires 25 MHz of channel separation, adjacent channels overlap and will interfere with each other. Consequently, using only channels 1, 6, 11 is recommended in the US to avoid interference. In the rest of the world, the four channels 1, 5, 9, 13 are recommended."
Maybe you can just get your neighbor to follow the rules and switch his network to channel 1, 5 or 9. Then every ROM that you use will have no problem connecting to his network and the problem is solved. I'm assuming you have his permission to use his network resources.
Both my Huawei and his MSI router are configured to channel 3. I put it to that, because there are other 10 networks within this area, and I thought... meh... perhaps they're not using the same channel, lol. Anyway, with the phone, on 14 channels, I only see 5 networks, including mine. With the laptop, I see about 11, so I believe this applies to whatever networks there may be outside, too...
The neighbour I'm talking about... I don't have his permission. I think it's one of those 50 year old couples who don't give a **** about what hardware the ISP installs in their home. Most older-than-45 people here, in my country, know nothing about Wi-Fi, and, since they don't even use it... I wouldn't be surprised if the people who own that MSI router don't even know it's there.
Anyway... the gateway, interface, whatever (192.168.1.1) is accessible, and the user/pass are not changed ("admin', that is). It ain't got a password, neither, obviously. So I could get in and change everything I wished regarding WLAN. Too bad it ain't got /n, but still... I'll try to change the channel even further, and try again with a Sense ROM.
Still, that doesn't fix the issue. Downtown, the most crowded place in the entire city... there are about 25 Wi-Fi networks around (at least that's what I can detect with my phone). My phone (CM-based ROM) can see them all. My girlfriend, with her stock ROM`ed Desire S, could only see 5 or 6. That is no longer the case now, since she's got MIUI, too. And I believe this is the issue with all Sense ROMs : you see 30% of the WLANs you'd see with a CM-based ROM...
I can't ask public stores : hey, your wi-fi... it's set to a channel that my phone just can't see, change it!

@Formhault - You risk Jail if you violate the neighbors privacy. It's like you found on the street a wallet full of money and you don't gave back to the injured person.
I posted a thread just like this before and it passed rather unseen. And un touched. Also I asked for a similar situation and had negative answer. But my issue is that I have a VIZIO router.
This is a rather new router and it gives me another option VIZIO HD. Which is more advance and speedier. I have a 12mb connection but I dont have full speed as I cant connect with this.
And a samsung galaxy can also a motorola atrix so I would like to know if someone knows if this can be modified.

Firstly, using a persons WiFi without permission is theft, regardless of whether it is locked or not. Does an open window in someone's house mean you can legally steal there belongings?
Secondly, this is not Development related in the slightest.
Thirdly, you want the XDA community to help you find a solution to break the law? You should search for an answer elsewhere. i.e. not XDA.

Hello all,
i'm sure i'm not the first to ask, yet i didn't find any threads about this.
my phone can't seem to connect to 5ghz wifi when the channel is a higher one (149-161). it doesn't even see the SSID. when I switch to the lower channels (36-48) I can see it and connect.
I would much rather fix this so i could use the higher channels where the signal is better overall.
any idea why this is hapenning? on my iphone 6 it works great when using channel 149.
I'm running 5.1.1 Fusion Rom rooted.
cheers!
Anybody knows ?
maybe it's a hardware problem?
i'm seeing this same behavior on SM-G900T (TMO S5) and other devices apparently due to missing country code and calibration files.
please see notes and upvote BUGBASH-2594 : 5ghz WiFi bands partially not seen as client and not available at all as hotspot
hopefully that helps bring together awareness of this widespread issue that seems to be easily overlooked (i mostly find myself using 2.4ghz networks anyway).
