Hi,
I know that today there will be quite some luck new owners
When I read the specification from HTC:
http://www.htc.com/www/product/desire/specification.html
It says:
Tethering
* Internet sharing through USB

Does the HTC Desire has default app for that already installed?
Or we still have to find / buy from Market?

It would have to be installed, otherwise I would expect there to be a footnote saying that it is not included in the package.
If they were going to list every feature that was added by installing market apps, the list would be at least 10,000 lines long
With HTC Hero it was included and worked pretty well. So it'll be at Desire as well, as it's part of Sense.
tethering means using the phone's data plan to access the internet from the PC ... correct? and that does not mean the other way around?

Correct. It's an alternative to a mobile broadband USB dongle and much cheaper if you have an unlimited data plan.
would love wifi tethering, that would be awesome! i had it on a hacked rom of my G1, and that was excellent!
Ah thanks ... nice one if it is part of the HTC Sense package

Here is how it works,
Connect phone to PC with USB, The connect to a PC icon comes up, select Internet Sharing.
Simples
Can you also do it connecting by Bluetooth?
works great and quite fast.
Bubbles ( other poster used simples already )
You can only tether via USB at this point. Maybe when Desire gets proper root, we can use Wireless Tethering
and for mac?
will tethering be available on OS X? 10.6 (snow leopard)?
Evening all,
This may be a noddy question, but having just got my shiny new Desire and plugged it into my laptop for the first time and selected 'Internet sharing' it connects to the PC ok, but doesn't connect to the network on T-Mobile (UK).
Any ideas on how / if it's possible to sort this - or is this possibly one of the reasons release was delayed, so they could lock it down unless you've specifically subscribed to use your phone as a usb modem?
This always worked fine on my T-Mobile MDA IV/Touch Diamond, but I was using one of Shaks' ROMs....

I works fine on Ubuntu, so I don't see why it wouldn't work on OS X.

Did you receive yours with the first bath (Saturday) or more recently? I somehow doubt they would delay release because of that as they could simply push OTA later.
Did you try other computer?
Now got laptop online through Desire
Mine arrived on yesterday (Monday). Trying to connect to a laptop running Windows 7. If I can't get this to work it'll be a major headache for me, as I used to use my touch diamond once or twice a week to go online when I was out and about.

Right, it was a noobie mistake - always helps to install the HTC sync software and drivers off the SD Card supplied in the phone first!
This installs the relevant drivers into Windoze and, hey presto, after un-mounting the SD Card and reconnecting the device using the 'Internet sharing' option I got a stable network connection from phone to laptop.
Peace and harmony restored once more

I can confirm this works excellently and with no effort at all on Ubuntu.
Just plug in your device on the USB and set it to Internet Connecting Sharing. Ubuntu detects it immediately.
It must be this easy on Mac I imagine.
I would be interested to know whether all ROMs can do it though, I'm unbranded

Hello,
can you please let me know how you managed to get it working with Snow Leopard ?
When I switch to tethering mode, I see a new modem ( I select generic & interface but I need to enter a login & password ( and also an accesspoint name & CID ) in order to connect.
Thanks for your help.
Regards.
Moving from windows mobile base to android, anyway knows that with help of activesync it is possible to use PC internet connection from device.
From what I've searched it is not possible in android, just the opposite is possible, meaning use device internet from PC.
I just ran into this
http://www.yuan.se/?p=32
I was wondering if any kernel is built with this?
Thanks
Hi,
I was wondering if you found any solution for this. It is indeed abit annoying not to have this feature built in in Android.
Thanks, Babak
Hi,
Can you guys help me with this problem? I can tether my Desire with my Ubuntu laptop but not my Windows machine. I tried my friends, thinking maybe its just my machine, but still the same problem.
The notification on Windows will say that its connected, but limited connectivity...
The thing is it used to work fine. I tried soft reset and hard reset on my Desire but to the same effect.
Hey guys,
Just wondering if you guys know if the desire HD can connect to ad-hoc networks as standard? If not is there a way to enable it?
Thanks!
Bump to this, I wish to end my brother's monopoly over the AR Drone... I've got a couple of AR Drone applications, but need ad-hoc supported. Seen a couple of guides (like this one: http://www.ott.net/knowledge/htc-desire-adhoc/ ) to get ad-hoc enabled on the regular Desire, if anyone knows of something like this for the DHD that would be great.
If you flash this file for the Desire Z, ad-hoc works fine.
Although, DHCP wasn't really working when I created an ad-hoc connection in Windows 7. I eventually got it working by enabling Internet Connection Sharing.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866676
try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866676
(i have the dhd) I patched this but now I can see the ad-hoc but I can't connect
Yes... I specifically got it working by enabling Internet Connection Sharing in Windows 7. This must've assigned some IP addresses or something. I suggest you manually assign IP addresses and see if that helps.
Any success on this yet ???????

I have finally managed to control my AR Drone with my HTC DESIRE HD and INCREDIBLE S almost just like an iPhone would connect to Ar Drone without any PC`s involved.
Here is how to do it !!!!
For HTC devices on Froyo , LINK
For HTC devices on Gingerbread , LINK

What about the Ad Hoc on DHD ICS? It's posible?
I did google for this problem and found that many users have faced this problem but could not find any finite working solution for this. I'm getting the same error: Bluetooth peripheral device driver not found. Has someone in this community faced this and found a solution to it. It's very frustrating to not being able to connect it to my PC using BT.
I did not have this problem
I am using Windows7 with my Sony Vaio 14p (also supports Bluetooth 4.0) and did not encounter with any problems transferring files from the device to the laptop.
First thing I suggest you to try is a cheap Bluetooth dongle that supports BT 4.0
my Pavillion DV6 connects ok. What type of laptop have u?
I'm having the same issue with my HOX and my Lenovo X220 tablet.
During the drivers install in Win7, a peripheral device driver isnt found. My Desire HD works fine though.
I have the same issue
Bluetooth connectivity
Hi guys I am having the same problem connecting my One X with my Toshiba Satellite running Win 7via Bluetooth I get the yellow triangle on my HTC One X icon in Devices and Printers and when I trouble shoot the result is " The driver for peripheral device is not installed, install the latest driver" when I click on Apply this Fix it does a search and cant fix it. however it seems there is the same problem on XDA as on Google search, the problem is there but no one has a solution, frustrating
solution to problem
I found a solution to the Bluetooth connectivity for HTC One X, Download and install BlueSoeil, I just did and paired and atm transfering files, this will do untill HTC get their **** together
this is a problem with all andoid devices that have gingerbread or higher, i dont know why. Sometimes my media control works from the computer and im able to play my hox music through bluetooth and sometimes it refuse to connect for no reason
