Something very strange...
I just got my HTC HD2 ported to WP7. Strange thing was, my desktop is having a hell of a time keeping up with the phone. I can never get a USB connection on it. I ended up having to do all the porting on my Macbook Pro running Windows 7 in Bootcamp. So the issue is that when I connect it to my desktop which natively runs Windows 7, the phone charges, but Zune and the Mobile Device Center both report that the phone is not connected. And to make things even more aggravating, every time I connect the phone, my wifi connection on the desktop drops off. As soon as I disconnect the phone, it comes back with some prompting. What am I doing wrong??

I'm not sure if I should start a new topic about this but it seems a lot of people have problems connecting Activesync 4.0 (build 4343) and the device. I'm one of them.
I have 2 pc's and I'm trying to connect a WM5 device to both.
The 1st pc (Windows XP sp2) works instantly, connects immediately, lets me create a partnership and I can synchronize.
The 2nd pc (Windows XP sp2) tries to connect but fails. The activesync wheel keeps spinning but no connection is created.
Since I'm not the only one with this problem it would be appreciated if the real tech die hards could shine a light on this.
Thanks.
My personal laptop runs vista and I had ZERO issues getting my phone connected to activesync via bluetooh.
Work finally came through with a laptop for me though so now I'd like to use it instead of my personal laptop to sync my data. The work laptop is:
Dell Latitude D630 running Windows XP w/SP2
I'm trying to get the phone added to the computer but it keeps adding it as a dial-up connection. Don't I need OBEX File Transfer (or something like that)? This isn't even an option when I initiate the connection to the computer.
As a side note... folks complain all the time about vista, but I must say, the setup for this bluetooth connection to the phone was entirely painless on the vista laptop and is proving quite difficult on this XP laptop.
At any rate, any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
nevermind...

Hy there, maybe someone could help me with this:
I tested a few ROMs and there is the same situation when it comes to USB Thetering everywhere:
On Linux: Connected phone to Laptop, enabled USB Thetering, connection worked in 2 secs. All fine !
On Windows 7 / x86 /x64: Connect Phone to Laptop, enabled USB Thetering and then it starts:
There is the network status icon in the Taskbar (lower right corner of the screen). This Icon is spinning a circle like it does before it establish a connection, you can click on it but nothing happens. You have to wait for 3 minutes, then a Window pops up that Windows found a new network. (simply: it freezes) When you try to get into Windows network sttings also nothing happens until the 3 minutes are over. (freezes)
The connection itself is established after 1 minute and you can browse...etc... But in Taskbar the Network icon keeps spinning until the 3 minutes are over.
Also it creates every time a new network when the phone gets into usb theteing. I´m now on my 10th private network...
I installed latest Java, latest HTSync... (Even Android SDK is installed)
This behaviour is absolutely not normal, it happens on original Sense ROM, as on AOSP Roms...
Is there anybody out there that knows something about this ??
Does nobody use tethering ?? cant belive...
push
Same thing used to happen for me until now as my phone doesn't recognize the USB any more!

Hello!
I have a problem with the internet pass-through.
-I installed htcSync latest version on my laptop
-Turned off windows firewall completly
-Plugged the cable
-Choosed internet pass-through
-It installed the driver ok under windows 7 64
Then nothing!
Can't get any internet from laptop to my HOX
I am using Pokemon 5
Might be blocked by your carrier
How come?
Internet pass-through is to take internet from PC lan to the phone and now the opposite
tried and frustrated by this feature, in the end I don't use it.
You don't need any app installed nor htc sync, plug it in let driver auto detect and install.
The big problem is, it does work, but only for like 10 minutes, after 10 minutes the connection simply didn;t work anymore until you disable the pass trough and enable it again, but then after another 10 min same thing, over and over, so.. yeah.. unusable.
I think it must be the office server's proxy, at home I have no problems at all with the desktop PC

So you got your problem solved?
Nop!
As I said must be something in the office's firewall or network rules because it's working at home
I am having a problem tethering my laptop and my desktop computer to my Galaxy Nexus ever since I installed the 4.2 update. My Nexus 7 tablet does not seem to have any issues connecting.
My laptop is a Lenovo Thinkpad T60-2007 which has an Atheros 42T0825 wifi chip. It used to connect to the Android 4.1 Galaxy Nexus hotspot without any problems under Win XP. Immediately following upgrading the Galaxy Nexus to Android 4.2 the laptop had problems. The laptop would connect to the tethering wifi hotspot, but would not be able to browse the internet (or in a few rare circumstances, would browse extremely slowly with frequent errors that would prevent web pages from loading).
I tried a factory reset on the Galaxy Nexus (which still left the phone at android 4.2), and there was no change in behavior.
I tried removing the wifi password and running the hotspot as an 'open network' and there was no change in behavior.
I tried a Windows XP reinstall on the laptop (to Windows XP SP3) and there was no change in behavior.
I replaced the wifi card (with and identical model) and there was no change in behavior
As a last resort (and because the laptop needed it), I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit on a new SSD and put in additional 2 GB of RAM.
Now although the laptop can still see the hotspot, it cannot connect to it. Even though the correct password is typed at the prompt, it gives a 'Network Security Key mismatch' error and will not connect. The laptop can connect to the hotspot if it is set as 'open', but will not connect to any sites or web pages (i.e. same problem as before with Win XP).
The laptop *does* work with the Galaxy Nexus via USB tethering, which suggests that there is some kind of wifi issue, but the laptop connects to my home wifi network (Linksys E3000 running stock firmware) just fine.
My desktop computer (running Windows 7) exhibits the same behavior as the laptop under Windows 7.
I was able to get a Macbook and a Dell Latitude laptop to connect to the wifi hotspot and successfully browse the internet (I will have to look up the model numbers later).
I am writing to try to find out whether anyone has noticed any similar problems/incompatibilities and whether anyone might know the causes.
Is there a problem with the b/g/n connectivity of my laptop? Did the wifi hotspot b/g/n configuration on Android change with the 4.2 update? Might a bad install of android 4.2 on my phone be to blame? Maybe there is a problem with g or n protocols? Which does the 4.2 hotspot use?
Thanks in advance
same problem with me

The inability to either create a mobile hotspot and connect to it is why I went back to stock rooted 4.1.1. I have tried Muzzy and AOKP and could not create and connect to a hotspot using native tethering or Wifi Tether. It has been a while since I checked the forums, but did not see a solution that helped me
PS - I was trying to tether mobile devices not laptops though
My issue resolved on its own...!! Don't know how..!! but now I can use WiFi tether and also reverse tethering too..!! Reverse tethering is really too handy thanks to xda members for making awesome apps.

I have not been able to get any form of wifi AP to work since flashing over to 10.1 CM. it turns on the AP and I can get wifi to link but can't get an IP and any kind of connectivity to the internet... so far, I haven't been able to find any help for the issue but I'll keep reading!
this was after a wipe data & cache install of 10.1.
