I recently bought an HTC Evo and had it flashed to Metropcs. I tried to connect to some of the remote desktop clients you can download from the droid market and none of them allow me to connect to it.
Has anyone been able to connect to a Remote Desktop Connection with Metro's mobile internet(not the wifi) or does it just have to slow of a connection?
I've been trying to do this too, it appears only some of the ports are allowed through. I'm really happy with MetroPCS (full signal, $40/month flat can't be beat) but not being able to use RDP and some of my favorite apps sucks. I've been searching online for a solution to this for weeks, but the farthest I've gotten is that it looks like it's proxy related. I think we have to find a way to bypass MetroPCS's proxy.
BTW, I noticed recently that the market will now allow us to download apps over 3G whereas it didn't before.

Hello, I have been searching around for a day and a half now to no avail. I figure I will ask here as a last attempt before I go and buy another USB wifi adapter.
I am trying to use my HTC Dash with WM6.5 to tether an available wifi connection over to my Windows 7 PC. Basically trying to use the phone as a wifi adapter. The phone has no cell data service, but can connect to the home wifi network that is here. My Windows 7 PC has no Wifi adapter (I left it behind >.<).
Here is where I am at. The HTC Dash is connected to the Wifi network, and when I try to select a Network in the ICS program, it says there is none available. I have been able to get USB selected in ICS, and the phone connected to the computer. In Windows I see a Windows Mobile Remote Adapter in the Network Connections area when I sync the device in Windows Mobile Center. But no matter what I try, ICS sharing on the phone will not let me select the Wifi connection it has.
Through my searching I have found a lot of information on tethering 2G and 3G internet through USB, and using the phone as a Wifi Hotspot. But those where no help in this.
My friend on a G1 with Andriod can tether Wifi connections to a pc, and I am wondering if Windows Mobile can do the same thing. I can flash my ROM from to 6.0 or 6.1 WM if needed.
Thanks in advance to any advice given, hopefully someone can help me out
UPDATE: Still have no luck. I found a program called ICS Control v.21, but it only works on touchscreen WM phones, not WM standard. Which means a bunch of crashing.
This program would do exactally what I need it to do... just does not support my phone. Well the search continues... looking like I may just have to go buy an USB Wifi adapter soon.
tethering w/wifi
It does work. I'm currently answering this on my 2nd desktop Vista with my S620 via my home wifi network. Waiting for a 25' ethernet connector to hardware to wifi/modem Not quite sure how it is with a wifi adapter but 2 things I do know from experience. You shouldn't need an adapter.
1st: you can't be in Sync Center while trying to tether, at least in my case on a Vista desktop. It won't let you tether while the sync is running (or your already synced).
2nd: (this worked for me) open internet sharing on your Dash/S620, pc connection-usb and be ready to hit connect the 1st couple of seconds after pluging your usb connector into your phone, and give it 10-20 seconds to actually connect. If you wait to long to hit connect, the phone will start syncing with the computer. Won't let you tether.
RE-read post, missed thar "WinMo" remote part. My bad. Don't own Win 7. Don't know what that is.
Question: Is there an active wifi where you are ? From your post it sounds like "yes"
You do not need a wifi adapter. You do need a USB cord.
I tethered with edge for a bit, but then got to thinking. Try Wifi. It worked, but be quick.
Neither one is super fast but Wifi is definitely faster than Edge. Better than not being on the net at all. Occasionally it'll cut out, just unplug usb, get to connect screen, plug in and hit connect. Should be set.
As a side note: I also tried tethering with G1. Xferd pc driver to Vista from G1 but computer says it can't find the driver. Gave up after 2 hours.
G1 tethering works great on XP though.
Hope this helps. Good Luck. Really cool when it works.
Are you using a wifi tether or just usb?
If wifi, what program/version are you using and where did you get it? I got the ICS usb tether working, but my version of wmwifirouter.cab won't even install on the dash. cheers

I'll have to break out the Dash again and let you know. It's been sitting for weeks since I repaired LCD screen and flashed my TMO Wing. Can't seem to stop playing with it.
Give me a little time and I'll get back to you.
You do have a wifi modem, correct ? I was using usb.
Right, just to be clear, my goal is to set up my Dash to receive it's edge data and transmit that out as a wifi signal that my laptop will pick up and connect to the internet. No USB connection. I'm getting an ipad eventually and this is all to avoid that stupid 3g garbage they're hawking.
I tried a program called wmwifirouter.cab but was unsuccessful. An ad-hoc wifi network was created by my phone and my laptop was connected to it but couldn't connect to the internet. And my phone kept crashing.
Any ideas? Thanks

Well, in your case, I won't be any help. What I did was run a 2nd computer off of my Dash with a Wifi Modem.
XP in another room with a wifi modem attached on Comcast, Dash on wifi and usb to Vista computer, since I didn't have a 25ft ethernet cable at the time.
Was running Vista-Dash-wifi modem-XP to comcast so I could run 2nd computer without being hard wired.
I'm familiar with wifirouter cab. It let's you use your phone like a hotspot, correct ?
In all my searches for various things for the phones, I thought I saw a different application that did the same thing. Possibly might even have it. I'll check and upload for ya if I find it. Have hundreds of cabs/zips to search. Let you know.
Possibly google it and you might find it yourself. There's a program called: WalkingHotSpot online for $24.99 if you don't mind spending. Dash isn't listed as a supported windows device but looking at the other phones listed my guess would be it should work. Try their DEMO version, see if it works.
Good Luck.......
2AM and I was just wondering......When you received your phone, you also got a usb cable with it, right ?
Why don't you just usb Dash to laptop and use "internet sharing" ????
My plan is to set this up for an iPad, which doesn't allow internet access over a USB cable, so USB tethering is out, has to be wifi.

Do you have a home computer ? If so, get yourself a Wifi Modem and set up a home network. $40-60. Although Comcast sold me mine for $20 and I get to keep it. I can get all 5 phones on the internet at the same time, not that I need to. It'll also be so much faster then running thru Edge. Besides the fact video's don't play for crap tethered running through Edge. Just a suggestion.
My opinion stands concerning Apple. Get ready to cough up more fees for internet (ATT). They're doing away with unlimited data. Did you see their prices ?
You'll never catch me with ATT.
I just put WMWifiRouter on my TMO Wing 6.5. let you know how it worked. Setup went fine, so far.
did you try downloading the actual .cab from WMWIFIROUTER.COM it's only a trial for 21 days, the "Free" versions don't work on the dash i've tried many of them.
once you install and get it set up be sure to write down the Access ID and Password it gives you so you can connect to the WiFi signal beaming from your phone from your PC. It works for me to tether a WiFi connection from my Dash to PC though I prefer the more stable Internet Sharing USB to PC and I have an Unlimited Data Plan.
WMWIFIROUTER also lets you tether a connection from your phone via bbluetooth.
I use WMWiFiRouter and its a life saver. It lets you pretty much tether any connection to any other.
Just yesterday I was at a meeting in a resturant with some clients and used it to hook my netbook to the internet and used bluetooth as the connection to the phone. Yes, Internet Sharing can do that, but it has alot more it can do too.
You can use Bluetooth, USB (it shows up as a USB modem), or even set it up as a WiFi Router.
Very cool program and it works perfectly on the Dash. I love it.
I never tried the trial version. A friend of mine showed it to me, so I just bought it. It's under $20. Well worth it if you run into that situation often.
I work for a faily large UK company and im trying to setup an HTC Touch Pro 2 (Unbranded on BT-Mobile). I have managed to get everything setup as i want including a VPN connection to my works internal network. Currently this requires having 2 network connections setup in the settings of this device... one for GPRS and one for "My Work Network" which automatically connects when required. Now the only problem im having is users can browse on these devices unrestricted however our PCs all require browsing is done through a proxy. I have tried every possibly setup on this device to route traffic through our proxy server but i have had no luck.
Has anyone managed to set this up?
Is it even possible as they wouldnt be connected to the VPN while browsing via GPRS?
Any hints/tips?
Im really loosing my mind with this one.
Thanks in advance!
bump, no ideas anyone?
it is very easy go to setup and connection ,, and than again connection,, that down u will find general, modem, vpn,, hope u can make inside other details
Hey guys,
I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere with no phone coverage, a satellite internet link, a laptop without WiFi (ethernet to sat modem), no WiFi routers, and my HTC Desire, and having just flashed my Desire with some sweet, sweet Modaco goodness, I wanted to start reinstalling everything
So, as the only way I could get any sort of link between my Desire and my laptop is via USB, I figured I'd give it a crack. Situation:
- Phone in USB tether mode
- Laptop tethered to phone via USB
- HTC USB tether interface bridged to local area connection on laptop
- Laptop setup as PPTP VPN server (standard WinXP "Incoming connection")
- VPN established from phone back to laptop
End state: I can browse the internet, on the phone, via the laptop, via the satellite
However, this only works through the browser. All other software on the phone is convinced it has no data connection (which by all reports, it doesn't. no GPRS, no 3G, no WiFi), and as such, things like Marketplace, Mail, basically all apps except for the browser don't work.
I'm not after a solution or anything, I'm going back to civilization tomorrow, I just thought you guys might wanna know. I know there have been a few threads of people attempting to achieve this.
-Edward
Just without having a detailed look into it.
You have to make sure you route absolutely everything throw your VPN connection.
At the moment it looks like you only route port 80 for HTTP.
Android market uses 5228 if my very quick google search is correct.
Never used VPN on Android but the problem you desribed is well known for "wrong" VPN settings.
Hope that helped a bit.
So I'm almost lost on where to begin. I feel like I have tried everything but here we go.
Sgh m919 4.4.2 rooted stock. Rooted via towel root, Knox warranty void 0x0
Plan: unlimited everything (unlimited 4G lte all the time) 2 lines 5gb hotspot for $100
So for a long time I used wifi tether router to create a hotspot for other devices like ps3s and computers to connect to. This would use my unlimited mobile data and wouldn't touch my regular hotspot count. It worked amazingly! But at some point it started to use my regular hotspot and I was directed to the dreaded tmobile upsell page. Well this pretty much ruined my life because I live in a place that provides Internet and won't let you get your own and it's super slow. Like less then 1mb per sec slow. .. So i have been desperately trying to find a work around. I had countless emails with the developer with the end result being him saying here are some vpns people say they have had success with I can help you no further. So i tried those but it did not seem to work at all. I tried using several vpn applications with wifi tether router. Vpn applications with it all built into the app and you just have to hit connect to open vpn. Then I found these guides and tried this method: http://kingoftweaks.blogspot.ae/2014/03/wifi-hotspot-through-vpn.html?m=1
http://digiex.net/guides-reviews/gu...phone-vpn-gateway-bypass-tethering-block.html
but that didn't seem to work either. So i went back to the past and tried using other methods from before rooting my phone. In the past I would use pdanet+ to usb tether a windows 7 laptop and use the Internet connection sharing function to share the Internet connection from pdanet to a router plugged in via ethernet cable. It worked back then and worked this time, for the most part. You have to use hide tether usage level 1 to bypass the upsell page. In the past this wasn't a problem. I could do anything just as if connected to my hotspot. But now I can't get netflix to work on anything but a mobile device. Not my ps3, computers, smart tv, nothing. User agent switchers don't solve the problem. So this gave me another idea. Try to use the computer as a vpn gateway. So i downloaded open vpn client and tried some free vpns. I wasn't using pdanet at this point. I was trying to connect the computer to wifi tether router and basically encrypt all Internet traffic from my isp (tmobile) using a vpn. So if I start the vpn and am connected to the phone via wifi and share the wifi connection to the router I still hit the upsell page or it will keep on trying to load Web pages in the browser but will never load them. So when I use open vpn client on widows 7 it creates it's own network adapter. So i tried to share that to the router and connect another computer. It barely worked, speed was awful according to speedtest.net . While running vpn I can watch netflix after downloading Microsoft silver light on computer running vpn but not very well. So i thought maybe I could use my computer as a vpn server but was unsuccessful. I tried fiddler in the past but all it did was mess with my computer. I tried wireless tether for root users and the treve mod version, this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/how-to-tether-blocking-fix-t2544487 and several other things.
I really need help figuring out how to get tethering working again.
My needs are complicated as well. I wasn't to keep Knox unvoided for one. I as well would like to be somewhat mobile with my phone. I don't want to have to keep it plugged into the computer all the time to have Internet access. Which means even if i get pdanet working with Netflix that's just temporary. Ultimately i would like to use just my phone but know that just may not be possible.
Ultimate goal: wireless tether using just phone with good speeds, ping/latency.
Acceptable goal: wireless tether to computer and share internet connection through router to maintain mobility with phone.
Temporary goal: get netflix working with pda net usb tethering.
I need to be able to use netflix on ps3, computer, and smart tv.
My ideas that I have no idea how to implement.
Use the computer to encrypt data from tmobile, vpn? Proxy? Ssh tunnel?
Use another phone to pick up the wireless tether router hotspot and somehow force pdanet to use the wifi connection of that phone instead of the mobile data it tries to use normally or mask the wifi connection as the mobile data connection or something. Basically use pdanet to share the extra phones wifi connection so I have mobility with my actual phone.
Ps. When using wifi tether router other andriod devices can connect and use application like normal but nothing else.
Can anyone help me get my tethering working again? I need help really bad and would greatly appreciate it.
No one wants to say it, so I will.
You need to get yourself some good old fashioned Internet access from an Internet provider.
Tmobile is on to your data abuse and put a jihad on your data black hole.
Downgrade your Tmo plan and buy into some Internet access from your local provider.

Has anyone found a solution to the OPs concern for how to get tethering working again through T-Mobile? It use to be that you could use an app like: Tether (from Clockwork Mod) or EasyTether (from Play Store) to get around T-Mobile's restriction on tethering; however, those don't seem to work anymore (ever with user agent spoofing) - has anyone found a current solution for tethering on T-Mobile?
No.

Whatever VPN witchcraft PdaNet+ uses to hide tether usage makes Netflix unusable on a PC. The way around this is to unhide the tether usage, load whatever it is on Netflix you want to watch (once the red circle starts spinning is good enough), then re-hide the tether usage. I don't know if doing the same will let Netflix work properly on your other devices, as I've never tried. I don't have Netflix anymore, so I can't try with my TV's Netflix app.
It's a nuisance, but it's something one just has to put up with if you're using your phone plan as your home internet. I don't understand the reason this happens. Websites still detect your Windows version and browser just fine, yet Netflix thinks you're incompatible for some reason.
FWIW, Amazon Prime doesn't have this problem.
I also don't know why WiFi Tether Router stopped working for you. It works fine for me.
I want to start out by stating this may be a general Verizon issue, but was hoping to get some input here first on the issue I'm facing.
My situation is that I want to replace my home cable internet with my LG G4 via tethering. I installed a wireless card on a desktop computer, connected it to VZW network via wifi tethering from the G4, enabled connection sharing on the desktop computer, then plugged an Ethernet cord from the desktop into the WAN port of my home firewall/router. This worked perfectly, giving the rest of my home devices internet via my 4G connection!
However I have some externally facing services, such as VPN and RD Gateway that don't seem to work over the 4G connection. I've done some troubleshooting and have a suspicion inbound communication on these ports is possible blocked by Verizon.
Sidenote - these services are configured with a Dynamic DNS provider - the external IP address does change correctly when I cutover to 4G service.
I reverted my home network back to the way it was and started focusing on the G4. I played with iptables (I'm rooted) with no luck. I attempted to open ftp connection to the G4 on port 2221 with no luck (using FTPServer & FTP Server Plus apps), still nothing. I changed the port a few times to something random > 1032, still nothing.
Does anyone know if Verizon is blocking external inbound communication, or possibly if there is something on the G4 I'm overlooking?
Any information is appreciated! If I can get through this issue, I can cut my ties to Comcast!!
Everything I've read in the past says that Verizon does not allow inbound TCP connections to your device via LTE. I'm guessing that the same applies to other wireless providers.
