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.

Yeah this app works great, goes over wfi and simple enough to set up. Works wonderfully with msn! Since i dont have a webcam, my i9000m can be used instead! No streaming audio atm but soon the devs say
Downloaded. Works great as a webcam replacement. No hassle installation even on Windows 7 x64.
I cant have more than 320x240

Can this app be enhanced to use the usb cable rather than wifi?
Can it be enhanced to work with other front facing camera phones?
working @ HTC Desire
can confirm that this app works on an x10 and w7 ultimate x64
skype recognized it as a webcam, still need to check the config tho
next tests
gtalk
msn
Where do I get the app for the phone ?
The title states this can be used as an HD Webcam... I tried the standard HD resolution (From Wikipedia: 720p is the shorthand name for a category of HDTV video modes having a resolution of 1280×720) but with this resolution the app FC's which it states it does if not setup correctly. The highest resolution I can goto is 480x480, going any higher on either height or width causes distortion in the picture. Anyone have any other suggestions for getting this to be HD?

At least you can get it to work. I used the recommended settings, it still wants me to force close; even in 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7, it only shows the DroidCam logo in the Skype video area.

AFAIK it is only wifi, what I meant is could it be the pc isn't "seeing" the phone over the network? Or vice-versa.

Well the phone connected, the PC says "Connected". I could only get the phone to connect once though. Once I've connected and disconnected by a force close, the program no longer connected even when I can telnet into the computer on that port. This happened to all 3 computers I tried.

Hmm, that is rather weird, even after the FC's for me it still works, I just lowered the resolution. All I can think of is telling the dev about it and see if they can help or if someone else here can help. I don't know that much about the way this works really.

Oddly enough, I think I could try it via EasyTether and see since that /is/ an Ethernet connection meaning it will work to connect by IP.

Ah I see, well give it a try and tell me if that works please, because I'd quite like to be able to use something like that rather than over wifi.

I confirmed it worked. Thanks for the idea . Well; you didn't quite give me the idea but you helped me come up with it .
Although, the same issue is happening with the transport something.
Im having an issue. After using for over 10minutes straight I get a time limit error message on my pc screen and it drops the connection and im forced to restart both apps on phone and pc. Help?
Also I cant go above recommended settings. Would this be updated in the future? especially since my phone is capable of recording 720p?

Just to say it works flawlessly (thus far) on HD2 running MDJ Desire HD Build 4.0
Hey,
I have bougt a hdmi miracast dongle at eBay.
It is mediatek CPU based and only accept a micro USB connection.
Attached to this message are two pictures that show the inside and the outside.
This dongle is a zk technologies w18 dongle and beside miracast it should also support Intel widi.
Unfortunately it doesn't support... and I cannot connect my laptop to the dongle.
I can connect two different phones with 4.2.1 android, but no success with Intel widi
Any one has a device like this? Any idea where can i get a new firmware?
Thanks!
Ihave the same device and same question? Are there any solutions to hacking this device?

Sorry I was wrong. I want to connect my macbook to device, so I have to establish computer-to-computer connection. The right words should be, "supporting computer-to-computer wifi connection".
My questions:
I just bought device hdmi dongle (w18) and try to find way for connecting my macbook.
Could you please tell is it possible? Should I update firmware for that, and can I do it at home PC for existing device?
Does device support wifi access point mode, because I found that mac os x have no wifi direct?

I have a device that internally looks the same, although I do not know who produced it, but where your's say MT-WFD18, mine says RLM218_1.1, and just below W-SL + 2813.
I haven't tried anything else than just miracast, which worked not so well, was fairly slow screen update, with sound out of sync while using Dice Player on my LG G2.
When i read det description from the seller it mentions something about 'intuitive interface', from what I can see, it is just a bootlogo static screen, is there a standard way of communicating with these devices, like common SW that do something, or is it likely the intuitive interface is just that, static screen?
Did anyone find any hacks/fw updates for these?
[EDIT] Added pictures, sorry about the quality, lazy and just used mobile phone, and it seem i amanged to get part of my beard in with it! :/
I have what seems to be a re-branded ZK W18(Allview Smart2View). Worked reasonably well with my phone for a while(some stuttering was present, the occasional disconnect) but I was quite happy with it as my phone has no tv-out. Used it maybe about 5 times. Today I was trying to show somebody some videos I took from one of my kids training and discovered it has no sound. Got sound after a reboot, but it disconnected after half a minute and sound didn't come back since. I am also interested in an update to make it more stable...
Miracast smart2view dongle
Hi,

The original is made in china:
ZK-W18 Miracast dongle.

Any ideas to improve playback?

1. better hardware(impossible...)
2. better firmware(almost as impossible, it seems)
Yups... i still haven't found a new firmware
I have this device too (allview branded). Worked for a while, then sound dissappeared, then it kept restarting, then just gives black screen. I suspect it's overheating, and maybe it is damaged because of that. Not recomended...
found this in a chinese file sharing website.
I searched with the terms mt8636 and rlm218 and found this:

I don't know if something can be done with that but maybe someone can see what it is.
Hi all,
Today out of curiosity I tried to use the Cast feature on my Nokia together with the Connect app in Windows 10. The phone manages to find the PC and tries to connect, then the PC sees the request and tries to accept it, however, it ends with an error saying "Something went wrong with the projection." The Connect app on the PC is version 10.0.17134.1 as seen in the picture. My phone is running Android Pie on the October patch. I was wondering if anyone has managed to successfully cast their screen to Win 10 PC and if so which versions of Android and the Connect app do you guys have?

Same here, I've also tried with a Samsung TV (KU6000). The phone finds the TV and tries to connect, then TV says connecting to phone for a few seconds and that's it. Nothing happens.

Yes, I'm running Android Pie. Never tried on Oreo. But, it's not Nokia/HMD global issue though, Google dropped it since Android 6. It's a problem with Nokias, Pixels and other Android one devices. You can check here. You can also Google for Miracast on Android one devices.

Okay, I didn't expect that. However, if Miracast is dropped, what exactly does the Cast option support then? It does not make sense for the option to be there if it simply does not work.

The cast option is for use with Google's Chromecast, Android TV, or Google Home. It uses a proprietary protocol, so it is only possible to cast to Google products.

Don't know. What's more interesting is that Nokia devices are Miracast certified (see this). But, there's no mention of variants, only like base models are mentioned.

Hi everyone, I wanted to know if this problem was related to a software problem or is it my a52s broken something in hardware
when i connect a cable type-c both side on my pc the data when i connect the mobile phone to a type c port on my pc the peripheral connects and disconnects in quick succession, this only happens when i connect it to a supported type-c port
I have done several tests and I can confirm that the problem is the cell phone, with another cell phone the problem does not exist and I can reach the classic speeds of the type-c gen 2
currently the a52s mobile phone is equipped with android 11 with the one ui 3.1 with root
if someone can do some tests and verify the correct functioning of the port, I kindly ask you to write if you are on android 11 or android 12 with or without root permissions, thank you very much

According to the GSMArena listing for this phone, the USB controller only supports USB 2.0 speeds. Assuming this is correct, you will not get better speeds depending on which port of your PC you connect to, no matter how great the PC-side port and/or cable might be.
