A question regarding WIFI. - Desire HD General

I know that using public open wifi is a dangerous thing, but i have this issue :
When i connect to a public wifi frm my laptop, it allows me to connect to the internet immediately, but on my DHD, when connectting to the same SSID, it takes me to a login page asking me for a username and password.
Is there a reason why?

Because of the configuration of the public wifi.
One thing I can think of the top of my head is that the wifi service stores MAC Adresses when you successfully logged in once and automaticly allowes all future connection from the same MAC Adress.
Your answer can probably not be answerd 100% by anyone since the configuration details of your public wifi service are not public.

I had a 3 gs before my DesireHD.
When it comes to photography the iPhone loses (did you try Vignette?)
And imho it loses in every other point....i gave the 3gs to my wife

Wifi Nat needs open. How?

I'm using a wifi adapter on my Xbox and using the hot spot on cyanogen 6 to tether it. It says the Nat is modarate and needs open. How u do this?

Is this possible?I'm connecting to Xbox live and can do everything except join a game in call of duty.

Wow.. I wouldn't even have thought about trying to run Xbox live through the Aria's tethering! Good for you! Now getting open NAT will probably be difficult, because usually it's a setting in the router that needs to be changed, but in your case the router is your Aria.
There's a video on this site showing how to set up Xbox Live using your Android Phone, but they use PDA Net and run the connection from the phone to a PC and then to the Xbox. It's 13 minutes and I didn't want to watch the whole thing to see if it addresses NAT, but it might be worth a view.

...and another one. Also using the PC in-between.

I had PDA net but laptop broke so this is my only way is wifi tether. I actually can pick up my neighbors wifi but only when he is there. I dunno if it has some kinda idle mode or what.

(Guide) how to reduce lag while tethered to ps3 and playing online

Y'all are going to have to bear with me on this, this is my first time doing this lol.
Okay first of all this all started when I finally figured out how to bridge my conectiom from my phone-pc-ps3 and I was able to play online but it would be very laggy and slow. First thing I did was go to opendns.com and wrote down there DNS then I went to control panel on my win7 PC and went to network settings under wireless tether and then went to properties, then u click on ipv4 and go change DNS to manual I believe then u enter the DNS numbers from the website and click okay, then on your ps3 go to network settings-custom-wired and set everything to automatic except for the dns you'll want yo do manual and enter in the numbers. And finish the settings now on your phone I found kifnos 1.0 tweak helps alot and u can also grab set dns for root users in the market and change your dns from Google public to open witch greatly reduced my ping from 300- around 170 I hope this helps some of y'all.
Ps please forgive my spelling and run on sentences because its 2:53am lol
Also I'm pretty sure changing the dns on Xbox 360 works the same way

How do I do this with just tethering It workd on my lil bros evo Sunday never did before tho how do we get our heros to do that cause we had both our ps3s online playn blackops
Sent from my HTC Hero CDMA using XDA Premium App
u have to set up a bridge using an either net cable and on win7 its farely simple say your using wireless tether for example first u go to control panel network and internet and u click on the ssid or your access point then wireless network settings then another window will pop up and u go down to properties then sharing at the top and click enable after that u should see a pull down make sure u click local area connection assuming your using an eithernet cable from your ps3 or xbox to your computer then your bridge should be complete

The hotspot feature on evos don't use adhoc like barnacle or wireless tether so no need to set up a bridge but ps3 will not pick up an adhoc signle

How to tether transformer & HTC Desire Z.

Hey guys,
Hopefully I haven't went against my best judgement as I just purchased the Desire Z over the atrix. Price was a factor in my decision so hopefully I made the right choice. My main question is this: I have an asus transformer what is the best method to tether these two androids to share my data plan? Bluetooth via pdanet, bluetooth to bluetooth, or setup the phone as a mobile hotspot (if possible)? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. dd.
I use pdanet with usb and it works very well, so I'm sure u won't have a problem with the bluetooth.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I would set up a hotspot if you have root on your DZ. That way, you can keep the phone tucked away while using your transformer. Make sure you have encryption enabled though as you probably dont want others leeching off your internet.
This is how i have it set up for my laptop. I use wireless thether app off the market.

[FIXED] Urooted Bell SGS2. Market & Youtube app not downloading data using WiFi.

Hi everyone,
I just got my SGS2 from Bell today and I haven't been able to download any applications using my WiFi connection at home (every app stalls at "Downloading.." with the green striped bar). I can use the browser, and browse through the Market with no problems.
I've also noticed that the YouTube app does not stream any videos over WiFi.
If I switch to HSPA, both of these issues go away.
I've googled around for several hours and tried clearing cache/data of almost every app I can think of. I've disabled my encryption on my wireless router and restarted it. I've done two hard resets and tried using a different Google Account log in. The problem still persists.
Is there anything else I can do? Could it be a specific Router+SGS2 issue? I have my old HTC Desire sitting next to my SGS2 and it's downloading apps over WiFi like a champ.
Thanks for any help in advance!
EDIT: The problem has been fixed. For the record:
I downgraded my DIR-625 firmware from version 1.20 to 1.09. This actually resolved some other outstanding bugs I had and now I can finally fully enjoy my SGS2 at home.
Thanks for everyone's help.
Volume Up + Home + Power > Wipe cache > Wipe data
Start from scratch and make sure you add a Wifi and Google account at startup.
Thanks. Just tried that, still the same issue. On first boot up, I don't get asked for a WiFi connection however (I add it manually after the initial walk through is done).
EDIT: So I just tried the wipe data/cache/factory reset with the SIM taken out. It asked me to connect to a WiFi on boot up, and restored several applications with no problems. However, the same thing is still happening - can't download anything on the market .
I'm going through the EXACT same issue now. It's probably your router. Try it on a different wireless AP. You'll see ;-)
1) Which router are you using?
2) Do you have another Android device to test with?
3) What's your ISP?

So I just tried using the WiFi here at work and everything works! Must be my router then...
1. Dlink Di-625
2. Yes. My old HTC Desire has no problems with the WiFi.
3. Videotron
I'll try doing a hard reset on the router I guess (pressing the button).. Any idea what could be the issue specifically? It works completely fine for all my other devices..2 laptops, iPad, and my old HTC Desire.
Try signing into talk if already signed in log out and back in

Weird that it works on your Desire. My Nexus One didn't work either.
I have an ASUS RT-N12. No idea what the issue is. However, I did start noticing the issue after I tried to update Busybox. You didn't happen to try to update that did you?
I also have Videotron. I thought it may have been the ISP as I read somewhere a similar issue that ended up being the ISP's fault, but it worked at my dad's who also has Videotron.
Are you running DD-WRT on your router?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Talking about DD-WRT, I have a 2 routers setup. First is a Netgear ProSafe VPN Firewall SRXN3205 broadcasting Canadian IP's and the second is a Cisco E4200 DD-WRT broadcasting US IP's. I noticed something interesting with the Cisco model. On my Tab 10.1 tablet I get both band signals 2.5/5Ggz as wireless while on the phone I only get the 2.5Ghz one. I'm running on XXKG3 2.3.4 firmware, the stock firmware was able to detect both bandwidths.
I'm going to root my phone in order to use MarketAccess or MarketEnabler and change the country to US, so I get all the missing apps.
I got home and did a hard reset on the router, issue still exists . I'm assuming it must be something to do with the router itself (since everything worked on a different WiFi). Unfortunately DD-WRT doesn't support the model I have (DIR-625).
I'm going to try and root it and maybe load a different kernel to see if that helps.

Yepp. Sorry, forgot to mention I did try signing in/out of Talk multiple times (which works fine on WiFi).
what ver. of market is the desire on and the sgs2 is os ver.2.3.4? or 2.3.6?
while the download is in progress, back out go into talk, sign out, then sign back in then go back to market dl should start.
I have the Same issue!!!!"
I though i was crazy.
I have the KH3 firmware. With a cisco E4200 router running DDWRT. on the same isp as you (videotron).
Could it be the isp????
Any solution?
Weird. Like I said though, I tried it at my dad's who also has Videotron and it worked fine.
Kernel/ROM doesn't change a thing. It's probably the router. Like I said, tried it on my Nexus One and it didn't work.

I tried it on my galaxy s3 using t-mobile hot spot and it kept redirecting my me to sign up for the hot spot plan. However, I did use a different WiFi router app and was able to tether. I am rooted btw.
Tether did not work with my S3, but does with my G2 and current S2's Did not get a chance to try a different rom on the S3 before sale tho so not sure about that.

Probably a stupid question on XDA, but are you rooted and running custom roms on your S2s? I'm interested if anyone has tried this on stock firmware with one of thee non-root tethering apps. I would test myself but I can't remember the last time I had a phone with stock firmware.

Yep I used both the s2 and s3 sucessfully.....
There is also another topic explaining another method of replacing ur apn in the general subforum of the tmobile s3
As for the s2 there is threads for apns and then for user agents
Live throws a code stating that some items may not be available but playing and netflix green light
Updates you have to dl on ur pc then transfer it to ur xbox by disc, etc storage medium
I have also changed my dns servers but I can still use tmobiles dns and do both
I use to have a full live experience until the last 360 update and now something borked....nebody have ideas? Lol
So I should have no problem using my sensation as a hotspot to power my roku box to stream Netflix to my t.v. right? Thanks!!!
