Need help finding the latest wifi router cab.

Can anyone direct to the latest wifi router cab. I installed the wifi cab i have attached on my sticky to a phone with the latest upgrades (tmo rom update) but it didn't work. I know I've had the same one stuck on there for some time, but thought it still worked. If anyone could provide with the link or cab that would be great. I tried a search on both the US and overseas forum but no solid leads. I even installed what I thought was the latest one but it could find it on the phone even after doing a search. Thanks in advance. I'll also be posting the cab in my sticky to others to use.

Hey man, here's the one I've been using all along. I could never get the one you had in your sticky to work right, but I thought others had been able to.
This one still works fine for me, but I admit I haven't yet tested it on the newer (2.13) stock ROM.

I think I tested this one out yesterday. It would say it was successfully installed but I couldn't find it. I searched almost every folder in the phone and couldn't find it. Then I installed my sticky wifi cab and it started up just fine and computer said it was connected to the phone. But, it would never connect to a page. I'll test it out again. I don't see why it wouldn't work. Thanks for the cab.

No prob! The link I have in my start menu for this is just called "Wifi Internet Sharing.lnk" (I don't remember exactly if I had to manually put it there or not), but the file it points to is actually "/Windows/CMInternetSharing.exe", so look for that if you don't find it anywhere else

Whenever I install a wifi-sharing cab for some strange reason my regular wifi will not connect anymore. Have you ever had this problem?

Hmmm nope....I have it installed now and regular wifi still works great. Are you using the HTC wifi sharing cab, or kurniawan's CMinternet sharing cab?
Does wifi work before you run the wifi sharing app, but then not after? Or does it stop working as soon as you install the sharing cab?

Well here is how it goes. At both work and home I have a wifi router and typically if I feel like dl large files or streaming vids faster and better I connect to wifi. Well when I installed the HTC wifi sharing cab my friend with an iphone was able to connect to wifi signal and use it like that. but when I got home I hit the wifi quinklink and it was just spinning and spinning and never actually connects again. I unistalled three minutes later I was back on my home wifi router...It has always had the result not matter what Cab i tried.

I was using the HTC Wifi Sharing cab and having similar problems. I could do the Wifi Router thing, but then my normal Wifi wouldn't work. One thing that was happening was that my phone's MAC address was getting deleted from my router's MAC Filter permitted list. Another thing was that even after un-installing the CAB, my Wifi recognized itself as an available network, and tried to connect...
A hard reset eventually fixed that.
I've installed the 'K' version that Sir Phunkee recommended, and every works perfectly now...

Hey bud...sorry, I lost this thread for a bit
Actually, I do seem to remember that when I first installed the cab and ran the wifi sharing, my regular wifi wouldn't connect again until I soft-reset...but that's the most it would take to get working again. I haven't been around any other devices in the past 48 hours that I could use to test that again, but I'll do it as soon as I am and let you know (I think it doesn't happen like that anymore, but I want to check before I say that)

Hmm. Perhaps there is a reason T-Mo didn't include it. I was thinking of installing it, but now I think I won't.
One can after all, tether with USB and BT.

My One And Only Problem With 2.3.3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everything else works great for me in this build. No color change, no battery discharge.....The only issue i have with this build is that i cannot connect any other device with Wireless Tethering, or USB Tethering. 2.3.2 worked fine for me with either but today i tested and tried to connect and was unsucessful with both. How is everything holding up for you guys? If you had the problem how did you solve it. Thanks.

Testing now. Will report back in just a moment.
Okay, so I was able to get USB tethering to work immediately (surprisingly my Google Cr-48 didn't need any configuration) but I'm having a little trouble with WiFi tether. I'm going to test a few more things and then get back to you (just FYI this was posted via USB tethering!)
And got it figured out. Apparently just had no data connection where I was sitting. Odd. So again I was able to get it to find the network and am posting this edit from the wireless hotspot. (Its slow because I'm on edge but w/e)
And one last update: I was able to get wireless tether to work first try on my MacBook Pro however when I tried USB tethering, it was a different story. I plugged in the phone, turned on USB tethering and watched it cycle on then immediately off. I can't seem to figure out how to get this to change and my wife probably won't let me do much more testing on it since I have my Cr-48 to play around on lol

Interesting. It sounds like your USB tethering issue is similar to the one I was having on Mac OSX (see edited post above) but not quite the same since I did not get an error, it merely turned off. I wish I knew more about tethering but this is the first phone I've ever gotten it to work successfully at all so I'm at a bit of a loss when it comes to troubleshooting.
Just for posterity though you should identify what operating system your computer is running so we can figure out if this is a Mac issue or if it applies to Windows as well. Also, just to make sure, your signature says you're running 2.3.3 stock, is that correct? (I ask because my signature is not accurate; it says I'm on CM7rc1 which is not true: I'm on stock 2.3.3 with Netarchy's 1.2.5 CFS kernel)

I'm on vista right now. And my signature is accurate

Okay, later tonight or tomorrow I'll test wireless and USB tethering on my Win7 partition.

Alright, I was able to test Windows 7 and here is what happened. I had a lot of issues at first getting it to work. It got stuck on identifying and I had to reboot my phone to get it to actually recognize the network. I did however eventually get it to work for both hotspot and USB tether. Also, I had a similar issue for the USB tether that I was having on MacOSX but it was solved when Windows unsuccessfully installed the drivers (you know the popup it gives when you plug it in). Which I find odd because until it FAILED the option would say "Connecting", "Connected" then "Disconnected".
Interestingly enough I randomly decided to test it on my Cr-48 again and no longer am able to get USB tethering to work. It connects but is unable to actually get internet. Odd.

No problems at all. Tested the hotspot on a Windows 7 machine as well as one running XP. Upgraded to 2.3.3 the manual route. Cheers!

it won't really affect me none because I barely use it. Just tested it to see if it worked. I also noticed that some of my albums are split in two. These are the only two problems I am having.

Yes I have the same issues, but he is working on another build right now. I am sure they are working hard.

You do not need a app for this. Go to Settings<Wireless & Networks<Tethering &portable hotspot<and then select USB tethering or Portable WI-FI hotspot.
I use this ROM and I use the Portable WI-Fi hotspot like all the time.

In that case then I think you either don't have the correct drivers for your HD2 to connect in this way which is a easy fix. Just go to control panel while you have your HD2 connected via USB and with the Tethering on. Then go to device manager and find your HD2 there, you will know it when you see it, then click on it. This will make it drop down then right click on the dropped down device icon and select update drivers and then get from internet.
If this is not the problem open ActiveSynce or WMDC on your computer and uncheck allow USB connections and see if that helps.

For me, it works with my iphone but not working with my Mac Book.

I had the same issue, just yesterday I found a fix the WiFi tether app(wifi tether 3.0-pre11.apk) the older WiFi tether apk files did not work correctly. The on-board WiFi works great. You will know when you get the right file, the icon color changed from green to yellow. I have been testing this out for about an hour now and all is good...

Also I can receive e-mails when I am tethering via the on-board WiFi or tethering app, but I can not send them. Does anybody know why this is. This is the same with all ROMS, so nothing to with the ROM (which is great) ...Any ideas on how to fix this settings issue...Thanks

Wifi Direct

Has anyone tried using Wifi Direct to transfers files between devices? I tried to do it between my N7 and SGS2 and it always seems to fail.
Also anyone know if you can use Wifi Direct between an android device and a laptop/computer?

Also interested. I cannot get it to work via One X and nexus 7

Tried to install the Intel Wifi Direct Dashboard on my desktop PC, but had a permission problem with one registry entry, even though I'm an administrator. Will try later with my netbook. Anyway, this software is needed in order to communicate between a phone/tablet with Wifi Direct and a PC.

Using Wifi File Transfer (tried free - upgraded to get beyond 4MB limit). It does a very good job between anything with a browser and my Nexus 7. Simply have to go to the URL

See my corrected response above - I'm working on connecting to a PC using Intel software on the PC. Don't know about connecting to other phones/tablets - I'd think they would work if they also have Wifi Direct.

Have the same issue with my Galaxy Note running stock ICS rom

if you want to connect from android device to android device there's one (and only one) app to do it:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.budius.WiFiShoot
this was developed by yours truly, and I did exactly because I noticed there was nothing to make it work.
I tested it between Nexus 7, Galaxy Nexus, Asus TF300 and Galaxy SII (stock ICS) and all worked fine.
The most problematic of those were the Galaxy Nexus that not always want to connect, but between N7-GalaxySII was flawless.
At the moment the app just works for photo and video but I'll be expanding more, if you guys fancy helping spreading the word about it, I'm really looking forward to see the downloads explode on it.

Not. Its compatible for windows. You can transfer files pc to mobile / mobile to pc.

intrressing app but to pay for transfer files is kinda not worth it , also need to have internet for qr code so it need internet , i was more looking for an offline free one , one that an transfer files without having to scan a code just like usb/bt only via wifi direct since its faster
sutch a shame win7 don't have wifi direct options, although intel dashboard offers wifi direct but i have no clue howto send/recieve files trough it , but it does connect fine with it

I dont pay anything for transferring my files between my 3 phones(Pro vers.). -No needs to internet- it doesnt require an internet connection just needs wifi. Sometimes it gives 10-15 Mb download speed for a sec. Actually dont know much about pc to mobile, gonna check it.

With the. App I get. On regular WiFi 36Mbps and on WiFi direct 67Mbps but I can't find the pro apk witch I search for most apps since I'm rooted but its like 4x faster then USB 2.0

AirDroid?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sand.airdroid&hl=en
Haven't used this in a while. If I remember correctly, app runs as a server on the phone. You can then use a browser to pull or push files from a PC.

Hey. I tried to send my files with SuperBeam from windows to phone. Its quiet fast. Works good.

yes i use it to but its quite anying to startup the prog, then press send and drag drop files in it, then start app on pnone go to recieve, scan or enter code and then you get files,
i was hoping it was more easy like bt or usb, just connect and drag drop files on the path you want them but unlike my old nokia, samsung dont provide software for bt , wifi direct , its only the main prog and usb connect
