Hey guys hope you can help me. I've been using internet sharing for a while but since HTC's most recent OTA update I cant get it to work while on 3G/HSDPA - the laptop cant seem to communicate with the DNS servers and I get an exclamation mark in a yellow triangle by the connections icon in the system tray. When forcing the Desire to use GPRS it works well - although its very slow, obviously.
Interestingly 3G/HSDPA works fine on my Desire - I get emails and web browsing no issues there. I also noticed since the update that it takes an awful long time for the radio on my desire to start data connection (a good 30''). i guess both issues are related to the OTA update which, by reading comments on this forum seemed to create more problems than it solved. Any idea guys as to what tweak I could use to force the laptop to connect to the DNS servers when using 3G on my desire?
cheers

I've had the exact same experience on my t-mobile wildfire - > apply the OTA O/S update and Internet Sharing stopped working!!! (It worked fine before on Windows 7 and XP)
Grrrrr...
Anyone have any ideas?
I also read that a factory reset fixes the tethering issue in several places and will see how badly it fracks the phone up (or whether everything gets downloaded neatly again automatically) and report back here...

hi does anyone else have problems using sirius app on the latest fresh.... i unrooted my phone and the app works and it also works on this other rom i tried.... for got the name of that rom lol
What type of problems are you having? Does the app load? Is it dropping connection?
Keep in mind that Howard Stern recently announced that his show is finally available through all smartphone apps. Without a doubt the servers that stream content to smartphone apps are taking a major beating. When listening to his show in the mornings, my app drops connectivity. Closing and reloading gets things going again. After his show is done for the day, i have no problems. it could very well be just an overload of traffic causing your issues....regardless of the ROM you're on.
P.s. I'm on CM 6.1.2
Sorry for not keeping up just been real busy. Umm just dosenr connect no matter what channel it just keeps spinning that loading circle.

Hey
Since I have been on the latest facebook version I do not get any notifications when I am on 3G Mobile Internet. Works perfectly fine when I am on Wifi.
The error I get say "can't connect to peers". Any tips how to fix this ?
For some reason version 1.5.1 of the Facebook just does this. I'm not sure exactly WHY, but there's some kind of bug. If you can revert to 1.5.0 it works just fine. Other than that, we'll just have to wait for a fix.
My updates stopped working on the version prior to 1.5.1, it did not matter if I was on 3G or WiFi. I updated to 1.5.1 which made no difference so I reverted back to the previous version and still nothing.
I personally think it's got nothing to do with what version you running, I think Facebook has changed something that has stopped this.
Yeah, since I updated to the latest version I don't get any notifications via 3G while WiFi works fine. I think that it's a bug on Facebook's end.

After updating the system to 1.84.832.2, HTC Weather cannot update information via mobile network. An error message stated: "The connection dropped while your weather information was downloading...." HTC Weather can obtain update weather information via wifi network without problem.
Other weather widgets can auto update via mobile network within set interval without problem except HTC Weather. Any body has the same issue after system update in your area?
I have searched in Google there is another post in GSMArena DHD review another user reported on 23 Mar 2011 faced the same issue after system update:
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_desire_hd-reviews-3468.php
Really wonder only a few unlucky user can't update the weather information after this system update.
Damn, I can confirm I'm also having this problem, just checked mine now and the last time it updated was the time I updated my software yesterday. When I go into the weather app now it won't update.
EDIT, the version I'm on is 1.84.110.3
EDIT, contacted HTC and they said to fix this I must wipe my phone, guess I'm not going to have any weather updates until the next update is released.

Hi there I've got the same problem Ive reset the phone still got the same problem wot a pain so I would think if would need another software update
I'm having the same problem. At first I thought it was just difference between my mobile provider and my wifi at home. (The great firewall messes with things very unevenly).
Definately started after the lasted update. In fact I feel like I'm having gprs/edge issues a lot more since the update.
Wifi is fine though.
I'm having the same ISSUE TOO!~ what's HTC doing? keep calling us to wipe our phone to solve problems... don't they have engineers to fix the customer's problems?
Me too with the same problem. I am with UK TMobile, standard ROM, and weather updates stopped dead after the OTA update.
Strangely, weather updates work if I am logged into my home wifi network.
Not impressed.
Its been an absolute nightmare and Tmobile dont want to do anything.. think a root is coming.. lol..

Don't trust on hard reset the DHD can fix this issue since I have done that on day one and the weather still does not auto update. It has to be fixed by HTC via another patch to the latest system update.
Same problem as mine.
"Connection dropped ... blah blah blah" keeps appearing while trying to update weather via mobile network (2G/3G)
WiFi works fine though.
I use DHD in thailand and updated to 1.84 a week ago.
No weather problem
My self not facing any problem on the update 1.84.832.2.
My weather update is functioning in good condition.
I can confirm that, at least in my case, a factory reset fixed the problem.
or maybe its fixed on their end at the same time as I did a reset...
My weather doesnt work either.
I'll wait for a fix. Not going to reset.
I can update the main weather using WiFi, but the "news&weather" app refuses to work.

Same for me after OTA - no weather update. Rubbish.
IT WORKS AGAIN!
Not sure how. I tried downloading another weather app 'aix weather' (or something). That installed but couldn't locate it to run it, so I removed it.
Tried my news&weather on WiFi and it worked. So I disconnect and tried on 3g, and it still works!

Interesting, I think I will try this later.
EDIT. I tried this and it did not work. On another note I've been updating my weather on my phone via WiFi and I've noticed that its predictions are far different to that of http://uk.weather.com/ Which one is wrong ?
"Android News and Weather" and "HTC News" can update via mobile data but "HTC Weather" can only update via wifi connection. Hard reset did not fix HTC Weather update via mobile data connection.
HTC said there was nothing wrong with the update... and suggested I reset again which didn't help.
They suggested to contact my network provider.. which again was load of crap...
I ended up flashing a stock Rom and believe me guys I love my phone even more since.. battery life is far better in the stock Rom

I'm not facing the problems. At time of reading this post, the HTC weather app just updated itself.
Could it be a problem at the HTC end and they fixed it already?
So i recently bought a used hd2 that was already flashed to the NexusHD gingerbread 2.3 android, everything works great on the phone, the problem is that WIFI is not working at all. it shows scanning and it doesn't display any results, i tried searching for my home network and also the wifi at starbucks and it doesn't show up with any results. when i tried manually entering a network, the wifi just continues to scan but still no results. i don't have a data plan and so far i tried flashing it to different android builds and also back to winmo 6.5 and still has the same problem. i am a noob and so far without wifi i cant sync my contacts or access market =/ please help, thanks
You've flashed other ROM's and you still have the same problem? Thats really weird. Maybe that's the reason they sold it?
