Anybody used the wi-fi router option on the hd2 to connect their pc to internet? I have startet the application and it says running, but no wi-fi router is found on mine or my colleagues computers. I tried the same thing with the wifi hotspot app for iphone, and that worked as a charm.
Just wondering if anyone else has got it working at all?

HTD HD2
I've connected 2 notebook without problems!
Well, now it works like a dream! Dont know what was wrong earlier today, but a couple soft restarts seems to have made it work!
thanks for all replies
Mine's an O2 phone that came without the WiFi Router app installed on the ROM. I downloaded and installed Tom Condon's HTC WiFi cab from and it works well. The only thing that I don't have (yet) is the shortcut to the WiFi Router app from the Comm Manager interface.

Is this the one from the Bowman Pack? I have installed this and it doesn't work. Can you give a link to the cab you installed? Ta!
*Edit....this *does* work but the range is abysmal, the HD2 has to be sat on top of my laptop in order for it to work.

I heard O2 ripped the wifi app and drivers out of their ROM (not 100% sure). If thats the case you could always flash the Official HTC ROM which will restore wifi, clear a load of horrible O2 branding and add Youtube app Check out this Tutorial on how to do it.
By the way I've use the Wifi app and my Linux and Windows PC/laptops can all detect and connect to the phone. Handy if your out of cable...but unsecure due to WEP.

I had the YouTube app on my O2 ROM. I've now flashed with the latest official HTC ROM and WiFi Router is now fully installed.
I've found that name of Wi-Fi router needs no space !!! so, my computer could found it now...
been using wifi tethering with win7 64bit laptop no probs - nice function to have.
I tried to use, but can't see it neither in a XP nor a Vista!!!
my computer could'nt see it too
I could see and connect but no connectivity to the internet
Assigning IP took about 1 min
I can confirm it works fine for me, on an unbranded device.
It worked for me but only when I switched off my home broadband wifi router.

They may have been using the same channel, which would mean that the stronger signal would drown out the weaker one. I'd expect a home router to have a stronger signal so that would make sense. You can change the channel that your home wifi router uses, if this is an issue for you.
Hi, I installed the HTC Wifi Tether app on a stock US HD2 Rom, but none of my devices can get an internet signal - sometimes I can see it and it says connected, but web browsing does not work.
I used wifi tether on my G1 for the last year, so I thought this would be as easy - no luck so far.
I also tried the WMWifiTether app, but with the same results.
Any help is appreciated - this is somewhat of a deal breaker for me if I can't get tethering working. Thanks

Uninstall that app. Install "omarket" from http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/omarket/
Install "Mobile Wi-Fi Router"
It will be listed under: Settings-->Menu-->All Settings-->Connections-->Wifi Internet Sharing .
This works perfectly on my T-Mobile US HD2. )
p.s. If this does not work, you may have some crap from the HTC wifi app still sticking around. Do a factory reset and install the omarket app.
Wi-Fi Router works fine for me.
T-Mobile UK has Wi-Fi Router as app in start menu.
Works perfect wit my Windows Laptop and my MacBook Air despite T-Mobile saying the HD2 won't "tether" with Apple (and it doesn't).
I ran 3 PC's from just the one phone, amazing, even managed to watch some catchup TV on MacBook using Wi-Fi Router. Just set it up on the phone and then simply look for wireless point... your own WiFi Zone.

I tried that, I tried changing the name o fhte network, and I have soft and hard reset between installing different wifi tether apps. Same thing every time - my pc will see it, connect, but no internet. My other device can sometimes see it, sometimes not. I'm at wit's end, because I can still use the same account with my G1 to tether, and that works flawlessly. This and other problems I am having with the HD2 make me feel like I am in microsoft bug territory now. ugh. With any luck, we'll have either windows phone 7 and / or android soon.
Make sure there's no spaces in the wifi network name and make sure your computer is set up to take a DHCP address on wireless rather than static.
So I was playing around with this GPS tether app. But I didn't manage to get it to work..
I was able to start the app and the GPS started working and got coordinates and everything seamd fine on the phone. I could not however not get access to it from my computer. I Guess GPS Tether is actually just an gpsd. so I used telnet to port 2947. I Got connected but I did not get any data, all i got was an "GPSD" showing now and then..
I'm running MCR r6.
Anyone got this working?
My reasons for wanting this is the ability to use any GPS app on my computer and the phone acting as an GPS device(using TCP-COM). and not having to buy an GPS device. And it would be very cool!
I have now managed to get data with telnet.. but when using an NMEA gps program, it doesnt seam to work, like GPSCommunicator :/ (using TCP-COM)

- Ive been trying to use the built in wifi tether and usb tether and neither work.
- I'm able to connect to the wireless AP but i cannot get an IP address
- Ive tried PDANet and that works, so i can only assume other third party ones will also work.
- I have an HTC Desire. Ive tried using OpenDesire (many, many different revisions) and Oxygen. Both by AdamG, but i doubt it makes a difference.
- I can tether with the built in Froyo tether function on a macbook pro. Which means the problem is with Windows 7!
Am i missing a step?
A couple times to get it to work properly on my Droid, I had to run a command prompt as admin and force an IP renew for my internet to connect/work.
using Wireless tether for root I was able to use my internet from the 3g on a windows 7 laptop (incurred a HUGE bill from Vodafone UK, they know I didn't use my phone to browse and charged me) but it worked.
...I cant believe doing a release renew worked lmao
thanks!
No issue on stock Nexus
I use Wi-Fi tethering almost every day; it works even better than USB tethering with my old Nokia phone. I have a stock HTC Desire as designated in my signature and a Sony VAIO with Windows 7 Professional x64. Tethering to an iPad also works great.
PDANet only does USB and Bluetooth as far as I can remember. Anyhow, I think the fact that you can't USB tether points to a Windows driver issue. Strangely enough, I've had driver issues myself - then I realized that I don't need USB. I just use an FTP and Wi-Fi tethering works as expected anyway.
Useing Wi-Fi tethering every day & USB tethering once in a while with no issues. It's my Nexus FRG83D to Windows 7 Home Premium x64. Sounds like your PC drivers...
I already fixed it. Thanks.
but icant do it how it works? <-- karşıyaka rent a car www.izmirrentacarrental.com/karsiyaka-oto-kiralama.html rent a car'dan kiralayın
I upgraded last night, everything working fine except bluetooth, it does transfer to the phone and tab, but not from them
I know this is a bit out of place, but I dont attend any windows forums and you guys will have the same problem with your phones

I upgraded the other day too. Usually I just use my phone wired or via WiFi. I'll test Bluetooth and report whether it works for me or not

Actually I was using Airdroid or SSHdroid. I'll be able to test in about a hour. Maybe I'll try Wi-Fi direct too, for interests sake

I had issue with bluetooth as well, but I installed the bluetooth 4.0 software from the lenovo site and so far it seems to have fixed everything for me. (Even the wheel on my bluetooth mouse is now working as it didn't with the default load)
NB I have broadcom bluetooth in my laptop.
so i just tried sending a zip file. after pairing my lappy and phone i opened root explorer, chose send file, then chose my computer. it failed.
i then right clicked on the bluetooth icon in the notification area, choose receive a file. a window popped up, then I chose retry on my phone, and it worked perfectly. not sure if that helps, I don't typically use bluetooth...
i don't have time to test the wifi direct function right now...maybe later..
addition:
this is the wireless/bluetooth card i have...
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/wireless-products/centrino-wireless-n-2230.html
the laptop i use is MSI GT60 0NCR-002US
If you can tell us the make of your Bluetooth device connected to your pc or the laptop model number maybe we can find the right driver for it.

Thanks guys
That is the solution "receive a file" :good:
I have a nice ASUS UX31A, it used Intel drivers that dont support W8, they where deleted during installation, anyway I am happy enough with this solution

cool, glad that worked.
by the way, I got wifi direct working, I installed both the wifi drivers + software...then also the intel my wifi dashboard...and in intel my wifi dashboard I can access my wifi direct settings for my laptop...
i remembered it uninstalled all that stuff when it updated...it said it wasn't compatible...but they have updated versions on their website to download...
i took a really really quick look but didn't see the type of wireless card in use (didn't check drivers page though ) but i would guess your card supports this too, it might just be a matter of drivers/software...

Chrome doesnt support most plug-ins in Windows 8, so I ran the installations on Explorer, and everything looks ok now
