Do you mean phone to phone (no hotspot or router) via wifi? Or do you you want to connect to a wifi hotspot and use that internet to be able to make calls?
I always use skype and its free.
But i don't understand what you talking about.
your friends are 200miles away but just using the wifi direct connect without internet connection?
i don't think wifi can connect about 10~30meter

i know the reach of wifi is more than bluetooth,
thare is a app for bluetooth in what I am looking for
it call blue talkie by Raffaele Ragni
but the problem is bluetooth has a reach of max in 10 meter
and wifi can do more
installing a router in the car is also no problem
Without internet you are out of luck I'm thinking. Why not do it old school and get a set of walkie talkies?

just connect your hd to your PC via usb and than when you get a pop up message (activesync , internet sharing , disk drive) choose "internet sharing".
that's it
Will this use alot more of my internet i gt unlimited internet bundle but only to 500mb i think
depends what you do with it. but yes, it will use however much of your GPRS internet package you use.
I've been doing this for ages on O2's unlimited data plan.
And I use the wifi sharing app instead of connecting it by USB since it's obviously more convenient.
I use internet sharing with the USB-cable quite a lot. Every week when I travel by train for 2 hours.
In some regions I have a bad reception and the connection drops every now and then, but when my reception is good I even can chat with Windows Live Messenger on my laptop, with both webcams turned on (mine and the person I'm talking to).
I'm very happy with internet at my laptop

That's not what he means.
With a program for your HD you can send Wifi signals, like a router.
You just use your incoming phone signal and that program sends it out as Wifi again. Than you can connect to the wifi-signal with your laptop.
It is the same as internet sharing via the usb cable, but without the cable
If you want this, look for WMWifiRouter (paid) or HTC Wifi Sharing (free!)

How is it (much) faster through USB?
If I connect to O2's HSDPA network (which I frequently do) I get around 3-4Mbps and that's the network maximum so not sure where you got the cable is faster idea...

i measured it... when connected to usb my download speed was 500kb/s and when connected to my phones wifi my speed was 40kb/s...
i guess that communication between my laptop and pda is much faster when connected through usb , nothing else.

There is wifi network, but only 1 device can use it.
Suppose I connect my Galaxy Nexus to that wifi, is it possible to share that to other phones?
I know that I can share 3g connection to other phones via wifi, but is it possible to share wifi via wifi?
It is possible using pc though http://www.virtualwifirouter.com/
uhhh don't think that'd be possible. You can see that if you're on WiFi and try to turn on WiFi Hotspot, it disables your WiFi.
what kinda stupid network are you connecting to that only lets one device connect?
Are you able to allow more connections by changing settings in your router?
bow chicka wow wow.

I've just thought of this off the top of my head so don't blame me if it doesn't work but it would seem feasible if;
1) First phone set to share/tether via bluetooth to 2nd phone
2) 2nd phone turns on Wifi tether
3) other devices connect to 2nd phone.
Let us know if this works as I'm not about to collect all the phones in the house to test this out hahaha.

Sup guys is it possible to turn my fone into a WiFi adapter so I can connect to my home internet connection via pc my wifi adapter broke yesterday when I shut the door on it
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Yes it is.
Menu> Settings> More> Portable hotspot & tethering
Here you can either choose to set your phone up as a WiFi hotspot so your PC can connect wirelessly to your phone and use it’s 3G for internet connection.
Or you can use USB tethering to achieve the same internet connection but using a cable instead of WiFi. Personally I’ve had more success with this one, as I have found the WiFi Hotspot function to be very hit-and-miss.
You may find that after prolonged inactivity on the connection, it stops working and you have to stop and then re-start USB tethering for it to work. Keep the data flowing though and it seems to work just fine. Obviously take into account your 3G data plan. If you are on a unlimited plan then you are laughing.
Don’t shut your phone in a door!
Lol not teathering via mobile network I'm talking about a pc WiFi dongle adapter which I use on my pc to connect to my home boardband so I can receive full speed connection I'l post a link when I get home with a screenshot so you understand a little better thanks anyway

ok this is what im trying to do but not sure if its possible see screenshot
Answer is No. Android does not allow ad-hoc connections.
HTC does allow you to use internet through usb connection but cant share that out over wifi.
Why not just connect ps3 directly to the router?

Woah! Yeah definitely misinterpreted what you meant!
Looks like you need to fish out your ethernet cable!

I'm tryin to improve my WiFi range rather than wasting money on a adapter that barley connects looks like I need a 30ft cable

Is there a way to use the One X as a router?
One X connected to internet via Internet Pass-Through and the open Hotspot (without 3G connection).
Why I want this?
I have a PC with wired connection and no Wi-Fi (router is dead somehow) and untill I'll have another router I only have one outcoming internet connection and three computers...
two words wifi hotspot ^^
LoL I'm not dumb...
It doesnt work, thats why I have posted that question...
I think there is an option for USB pass through on CM. Not so sure about on a Sense based rom, though?
Just connect USB and where it say charge only or mass storage there's a option for internet pass through you carnt use WiFi and WiFi hotspot at the same time
Skydragon team
Again, I'm asking if its possible to use internet pass through and then transmit it via Hotspot.
Yes you can.
With the default Hotspot and HTC's internet pass through?
Tried twice and it didn't work.
Like I said you can do it with USB but not hotspot if you use hotspot it will use 3g and you carnt connect to WiFi using WiFi hotspot but if you connect USB there's a option to use internet pass through wich will allow you to use you phone like a WiFi dongul
Skydragon team
OK I understand that is isn't possible as none of you got the idea of what I'm saying xD
Thanks for the comments and the will to help anyway, guess I should just buy a router...
*Mods you can lock now*
Sorry, I'm mistaken. What DOES work is turning WiFi on the phone, then connecting the phone in Tether mode. Wouldn't really help you though cos it's the opposite of what you need >.<
Has anyone tried using this feature? I.E. connecting the phone to a PC and giving that connected computer internet capabilities?
I've just tried this the other day and every time I do it, it drops the wifi and connects it straight through 4g.
Is there anyway to have it connect through wifi instead?

As far as I am aware, the tethering functions that comes with htc and every other android phone are hardware restricted to only pass on 3g/4g networks. So in short, no.
