I tried to play online game on my pc using the internet sharing from my Touch Pro2, but I got an error that said I am behind a firewall. Any solution for this? I tried using wifi rounter in the rom, didn't work either.
what game? does it require port forwarding? it shouldnt complain that you are behind a firewall. but you will be on an att lan so theres no way to get around this anyways.

hey guys i need some help. it would be awesome if you guys can help out. ok my htc fuze gets wifi signal pretty good, better then my psp at least. and i have a psp and i like to do some online gaming. well my router is all the way on the other side of my house and my room is on the other side. so my psp does not connect very well to my router,, but my fuze does. so i was wondering if any of you guys could make a program that is kinda like "wifi router" that uses your data plan and gives of wifi. but instead uses a wifi signal and brings it closer to you somehow. i hope i made sense to some of you developers.
please try and help,,thanks
well that would be quiet complicated, or maybe even impossible ...
But you could use a Windows 7 Laptop with Virtual WiFi to archieve that. Here is a link to that: http://www.istartedsomething.com/20...e-virtual-wifi-technology-microsoft-research/
awwww man. i only have vista :/
i have the upgrade cd but first i have to fix my laptop
are yousure its complicated?????????????
With my old Orange SPV C500 phone I could plug it into my laptop and the phone would use the laptop's Internet connection (once I've installed ActiveSync/WMDC). I've tried all the connection modes on my HTC Desire but they all look to be using the 3G connection instead. I've got HTC Sync 2.0.33 installed.
Is this possible? I'm not always going to be in areas where I can get 3G/HSDPA. Thanks
Best you search for the term "tethering" in this forum - you will find what you would like to know.
Thanks for the quick reply. I don't mean using my Mobile as a Modem though (i.e - tethering). That works a treat.
I mean plugging my mobile into my laptop and "using my laptops broadband" connection on my HTC Desire. Basically the other way around (laptop to mobile, not mobile to laptop). This is possible with Windows Mobile.
I think you misunderstand. OP wants to use the PCs internet connection for the phone if I understand the OP correctly.
This may be possible using some ADB commands, but I am not sure.

What are ADB commands? I take it it's not officially supported? Like it is on Windows Mobile then. Thanks.
Sorry, got it now. You are right, WM (or better: ActiveSync from MS) had that functionality. HTC's Sync is far behind that - I'm close to throw it into the bin (if I only had something better). Therefore it is not possible to use your laptop as a modem for your phone. On the other hand: The Desire's WiFi-receiver is really excellent. Where you need access to a LAN try ES File Explorer together with either a WiFi or Bluetooth connection.

It pretty ropey. Thankfully I use Google to sync my stuff, so rarely need it.

Thanks. Nevermind. It was worth asking.
As the HTC Desire has it's own Wireless and 3G/HSDPA. I won't use it often but it can be handy, when you have no 3G/HSDPA/Wireless available but a PC with USB Port and working Broadband.

Thanks. I'll take a look.
I also missed this feature from my WinMo HTC TD2
I hope one day this will be possible with our HTC Desire. Here in my office we dont have WiFi as we only use LAN with our laptops. And there are no WiFi signals nearby
I have to wait till I get home to be able to have WiFi and update weather and download and install stuffs in my Desire
it is already possible, do a search for "reverse tethering"

Here is some info on it, its about the nexus one but applys to the desire too
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/1042-reverse-tethering/
Thanks for the link. Will do some readiings for this one. I see its not that easy and it doesnt work for everyone. I was hoping its just a one-button-click process only just like "tethering"
The Desire HD has it
Thanks AndroHero and EddyOS.
Is it easy to use on the Desire HD? It's good to see HTC have added this to the latest version of Sense.
I only got GPRS in my last job, so I'd often turn on Wifi but this obviously isn't always going to be possible. If I'm by a PC I'd obviously use that for browsing mostly anyway but some things (like Market and some websites etc...) I'd not want to access from someone else's PC. I'd want to be using my phone.
No idea, doesn't work on the HD port though
Maybe it's a stupid question, but why would you want to use the internet on a phone when you're sitting in front of a computer that's connected to the internet?
Mostly I wouldn't but things like Market Place, checking E-Mails/Facebook etc... (not always possible/you'd want to from the PC you're at) to name some examples.

personally i like to update everything on my phone via my work internet connection before i leave for the day. updating my daily news app takes over 40mb alone and i'd rather do that via my work internet connection than by using 3g.
What News App do you use? 40Mb is loads.

update weather, friendstream, and install apps that need internet connection..
I had a Touch Pro2 and dumped it for an EVO. I was so pissed when I found out Android doesn't support reverse tethering. I need my PC to give internet to my phone through the USB connection. No I cannot simply get WiFi. It is forbidden where I work (offshore). Does anyone know if reverse tethering works on WP7 like it did on WM6.5?
I've read that it does support it, but don't know how to test it.

Yup it works through Zune - just plug your WP7 phone in to your computer and open Zune, and reverse tethering occurs automatically ^__^
This is great news. I will definitely be buying a couple of HTC 7 Pros when they come to America.
Anyone want to buy an EVO and a Samsung Galaxy Epic on Sprint?

yes , it will work , you can easy test it by putting your phone in flight mode and then connect it the the pc , you will see that your internet explorer still works on the phone .
ps: and to make you real happy , I just tested it and it works perfect (don't need to do anything, just connect and sync with zune)
Hiya... did quite a bit of searching, but couldn't find a lead on this. I feel like it should be doable... but the built in setting and the apps I've tried don't seem to work. (AllCast, pixel media server)
I'm trying to stream movies from my phone through my Xbox while tethering onto my tv but it's just not happening... the built in function requests that I connect to Wi-Fi, but I don't have a router, just the tether... any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Why not just get an HDMI adapter and save the tethering data? Not positive, but I believe you need wifi to stream to the Xbox anyway. I assume you mean like Netflix or whatever? You can use the Allshare Cast Dongle without wifi but a lot of times the sound can lag behind. Keep in mind if you are trying to stream anything from your phone to your Xbox, it HAS to actually be on the phone itself, I don't even think it can be on the external SD card. This means trying to use DLNA for Netflix will never work. I could be wrong about it being on the external but I don't think so.
I'm trying to stream a local video file from my phone to my tv through my xbox360. I don't have an hdmi cable for the phone. I don't have a wireless router....just my phone and the xbox..I can get the xbox connected to my phone by tethering, but I can't figure out how to get the DLNA stuff going without the wireless router.
I feel like it should be possible. I don't need to stream Netflix or anything... just local videos on my phone to the xbox.
I'm still trying to figure out a way. Thanks

I'm not sure how WiFi direct-connect would work with an Xbox...but I've used it with a Mac at work with no problems. Kies? I'm just spit-balling ideas, as I am on CM (and have been since I got the phone home) so I'm a little out of my element. But I'm sure there's a way and it's likely down this path.
Or, failing that, head down to your local Salvation Army or Goodwill (or other thrift shop type place) and pick up a wifi router for $3-$10....I've done it many times before. If you can afford a Note3 on T-Mobile you can afford to spend $3-$20 for a used (discarded, unwanted, otherwise undesirable) WiFi router.
EDIT: or spend $5(?) for an MHL adapter to plug it into your TV directly and screw the middleman Xbox.
Yeah.... those are where I'm headed in the solution department. I just wish I could connect it to the phone via tether and then pick up the video file over that connection.
I'll keep looking for a simple and elegant software solution. I have an hdmi cable for my laptop that works ez pz... but I was going I could accomplish it through my phone.
Thanks though!

Twonky Remote works perfect for the X box ... it's scan your Internal And External Memory For Audio/Pictures/Videos etc...

I have just gotten tired of my isp. So I cancelled their services. Now wanting to stream netflix but now use all of my mobile hotspot in one day. Is there a way I can get my phones screen onto my computer, and be able to use my cellular data to watch netflix on my computer. I have found other things like Droid @ screen but wasnt sure that would meet my needs any other help would be appreciated.

I have a smart dock and it works great. There is also hml cables that do the job too. And if you have chromecast you can mirror your screen but can lag or skip.
