i have a cdma htc desire from cell south, it is rooted with enrevoked3, i was attempting to use the wireless tether app from the market but when the computer connects it has limited conectivity and no internet...when using the internet share function from htc it disables my network on phone... does anyone know a way to share wireless network, via bluetooth, wireless or usb???
so no one knows how to share network on this phone?
You used the built in settings in wireless and networks?

Hi,
I've currently got a Touch HD and use the internet sharing feature quite a lot, pairing my phone to my laptop via bluetooth and using the 3G connectivity to browse the web at a fair speed.
I can see that the Desire supports tethering via USB (that's stated on the specification page on the HTC webpage), but will I be able to tether via bluetooth and connect through the phone in the same way (or the equivalent Android way)?
Thanks!

So after finding a cheap(er) was of getting mobile internet whilst I am roaming in Europe this summer, my plan is to use my Desire as a mobile hot spot and connect other phones and laptops via it as needed.
I have tested this and it works fine.
But I also have an iPass client installed on my phone which is great for hotel wifi etc but I was wondering if there was any way to make the phone act as a wifi hotspot even when it is using wifi itself to connect to the internet?
Thanks
Dun think so. Possibly there is an app on the market that does it. I do know that wifi will get disabled when u activate hotspot though. Tried routing my wifi through my phone. Doesn't work

No. The hardware is either doing one thing or the other...can't do both. Unless you can find a phone with more than one Wifi chip in it.
Hello!
I have installed RCMix HD rom, with new Sense, and i have option for Internet Pass-Through. I am wondering, if it is possible, to use on phone internet connection from PC via Internet Pass-Through, and in settings turn on Portable WiFi Hotspot, that will let me to connect to internet on another laptop? I tried this, but i doesn't have internet on laptop...
And, is this possible anyway?
The way the internet sharing works with the Desire is that it acts like a modem which then shares the internet with a PC. You can't do it the other way around, sharing internet from your PC to your phone, just phone to PC.
You can use your computers internet via internet pass through, I know because I've tried it, but you can't use the computer internet for hotspot, I tried that too

@damo : bro can u tell me how u did it???m using windows 7 but cant seem to get it work on the phone....everything is getting connected but no show on the phone....
is there any particular setting u need to do???
as a thought - what about if you made an adhoc connection from laptop and shared internet with that connection...?
just a thought- completely untested..
just remember when I had a machine set up with a crossover and shared wifi from laptop to PC and wondered if you could do something similar with an adhoc wifi connection...
You can't share the internet connection used from a pass through connection. The reason is that it uses the same framework for both pass through connections and Portable Hotspot. Would be cool if it could be done, but with Windows XP and above you setup an AdHoc Wifi connection which will allow you to connect one device and share and internet connection.
Hi,
I was always using on other phones with Android 2.2 FroYo that 3G mobile hotspot feature, which was included right in the Android system under Wireless Networks settings.
Now in Defy there is no option like that under settings in FroYo. Defy includes own app called 3G Mobile Hotspot, which should work like that option for creating mobile WiFi hotspots in other Android phones. But here is the problem.
On my older phone with Android 2.2 I could create 3G WiFi hotspot wherever I needed and it worked. But now, with Defy, when I use that application 3G Mobile Hotspot, it writes me error when creating WiFi hotspot "Cannot set up data link, please contact your service provider" I suppose it is something with my carrier (Vodafone_CZ), but when I used 3G WiFi hotspots on older phones (which had that feature included right in Android settings menu) it worked without problems and I a used mobile phone for 3G internet sharing with my laptop.
Is there some workaround how to create WiFi hotspot on my Defy for example with some other app?
Now I remember, that I have deleted some DUN profile under APN profiles, could it be that problem, that 3G Mobile Hotspot app is not working?
Or if not, how can I use Internet Tethering in Defy Mobile Networks menu via Bluetooth (my laptot has BT). I dont know, what should I set in my laptot to use Defy like BT 3G Internet provider and I dont know, if Internet Tetherig via BT is not charged at my carrier (I know, that the 3G WiFi hotspot feature was not extra charged..) so for that reason I would like to make it working on my Defy.
My ROM: original 34.179.2.MB525.Retail.en.CEE
Android 2.2.2
Thanks for help in advance!
I've heard some people say that when they're rooted, their wireless tether, another Android device such as a tablet or phone can't pick it up do to it being an adhoc network.
Question is, what's an adhoc network?
And how come MY wireless tether can be picked up by my Android tablet. But someone elses wireless tether doesn't work on their Android tablet?

On wireless computer networks, ad-hoc mode is a method for wireless devices to directly communicate with each other. Operating in ad-hoc mode allows all wireless devices within range of each other to discover and communicate in peer-to-peer fashion without involving central access points (including those built in to broadband wireless routers).
To set up an ad-hoc wireless network, each wireless adapter must be configured for ad-hoc mode versus the alternative infrastructure mode. In addition, all wireless adapters on the ad-hoc network must use the same SSID and the same channel number.
An ad-hoc network tends to feature a small group of devices all in very close proximity to each other. Performance suffers as the number of devices grows, and a large ad-hoc network quickly becomes difficult to manage. Ad-hoc networks cannot bridge to wired LANs or to the Internet without installing a special-purpose gateway.
Ad hoc networks make sense when needing to build a small, all-wireless LAN quickly and spend the minimum amount of money on equipment. Ad hoc networks also work well as a temporary fallback mechanism if normally-available infrastructure mode gear (access points or routers) stop functioning.
Infrastructure mode wireless networking bridges (joins) a wireless network to a wired Ethernet network. Infrastructure mode wireless also supports central connection points for WLAN clients.
A wireless access point (AP) is required for infrastructure mode wireless networking. To join the WLAN, the AP and all wireless clients must be configured to use the same SSID. The AP is then cabled to the wired network to allow wireless clients access to, for example, Internet connections or printers. Additional APs can be added to the WLAN to increase the reach of the infrastructure and support any number of wireless clients.
Compared to the alternative, ad-hoc wireless networks, infrastructure mode networks offer the advantage of scalability, centralized security management and improved reach. The disadvantage of infrastructure wireless networks is simply the additional cost to purchase AP hardware.
Note that home wireless routers all feature a built-in AP to support infrastructure mode.
awesome information thanks.
But any ideas for the 2nd question? about connecting android devices to other adhoc networks that work and dont work......
Think of it like this. Hotspot mod (infrastructure) on this phone is like connecting to a router. Wireless tether (ad hoc) is like doing internet connection sharing on a computer. You'll have to find a mod for the device that can't see or connect to ad hoc, to make it work. There are different ways to accomplish the same thing in different devices. With a galaxy tab, it's replacing a file. I'm probably wrong but with the Xoom, you need a modded kernel.
Also, as the saying goes, Google is your friend.
I couldn't connect my wife's laptop to the hotspot on my phone until I lowered the security on the hotspot settings to WPA. Default was WPA2. Something to keep in mind if a device won't connect.
