Hi,
Has anyone been able to successfully use the Intel WiFi Direct utility from a PC to connect with the SGH-i927 ?
My search research on the forums would tend to suggest it doesn't work. I found quite a few posts of people asking the same question for various Samsung devices and others. Samsung Handset to Samsung Handset seems to be fine but not from/to PC .....as there doesn't seem to be anything specific to our handset I post here.
Here's what I get...
1) Both WiFi Direct on the Handset and the PC Intel Dashboard locate each other,
2) When initiating the connection from the phone nothing happens
3) When initiating the connection from the laptop the phone responds with a prompt to accept the connection however once accepted nothing happens.
My Devices
Lenovo T420 Windows 7 Enterprise SP1
SGH-i927 Rooted Stock UCLJ3 4.0.4- SuperSU - Personally Debloated with Ti Backup
======================
Ok so I got hold of a copy of Qualcomm Atheros Direct Connect and installed on my Samsung R530 Laptop (AR9285WiFi Card)/ Windows 7 Home Premium SP3.
Here's what I get...
1) Both WiFi Direct on the Handset and the PC Atheros Direct Wif can see each other.
2) When initiating the connection from the phone connection completes phone/PC say 'Connected'
3) When initiating the connection from the laptop connection completes phone/PC say 'Connected'
When connected PC prompts for Network Connection location Internet/Home etc I selected Home ...any advice on what to do here ?
4) When sending a file from phone MyFiles...Share...WiFi Direct phone prompts for a WiFi Connect device and it doesn't list the connected PC ! .
What am I doing wrong ?
*************************************************
I spent some more time playing with the clients...I even managed to get the Samsung Laptop connected to the Phone at one point ...however I couldn't send anything between the two.
I couldn't even establish a proper connection between the two laptops let alone use the phone....and given the amount of feedback this is generating I doubt I will take this any further. I hope you guys have more luck than I did.
<E.O.M.>

k. i live in the woods and my dsl modem fried from lightning last night. i have a ****ty isp that can only be reachable by submitting a service request via email since i work during their service hours of 12-3pm. i have to wait a week for a new modem
tldr; i need a program and directions that have proven to work'
here's my setup
windows xp sp3
audiovox 6600(camera)
windows mobile 2003se
usb cradle
well, what is your actual problem, connect your device to gprs, put it in the cradle and if activesync is set to accept, that the device runs wireless data connections, even while cradled, your internet connection should work. your pc should simply use the devices gprs then and automatically be connected to the internet. other alternatives (in case that doesn't work) would be, if you have wi-fi on your pc, you can try and install a wi-fi router software to your device and connect your pc to it just like with a normal access point, a freeware to try would be htc wifi router, although i fairly doubt any of those programs run with wm2003, but that should give you a clou, what to look for.
problem: wm2003se has no easy way to bum internet off of, only through the usb cable
sprint is cdma
there is no 802.11 wifi on this phone.
Still looking for help.
Heres the situation:
I'd like to use my computer's internet connection. So I plug in my phone and select USB internet pass-through in the popup dialog. The problem is that after about a minute or two it fails, with a popup saying that either I don't have HTC Sync installed or another phone is using it, whereas none of it is true. I do have the very latest of HTC Sync and driver installed.
I am running Vista (Home Premium) and using a USB 3G Modem. The phone is stock HTC Desire Z (EU).
Please bear in mind that I just don't have any other way to connect my phone to the computer or the internet other than the way I am trying. Also I don't want to root the phone. Not yet.
I have tried:
Installing HTC Sync & drivers through "Run as administrator".
While the phone was trying to activate the mode I tried reseting the local area connection (this shows up when you select the mode) - worked for a while, kept disconnecting me every few minutes.
I first activated the internet passthrough (somehow it activated) then connected the usb 3g modem - this worked it didn't disconnect me, but after a restart (the next day) none of the above worked. The phone seemed to be confused because in the wireless & networks it said that "connect to a pc through usb, please" - acted like its not connected at all.
I know that the phone should be ok, because at work (WinXP) it enables in a few seconds - although cannot use internet bec. android does not support proxies.
The passthrough service is running.
I have disabled the firewall.
Any ideas would be very welcome..
1.Right click on the network icon in the task bar
2.Click on Open network connections
3. There would be two local are connections. Find out your HTC mobiles connection.
4.Right Click and select properties.
5. select Internet TCP/IP and click on properties
6. Select Obtain an IP adress automatically
What I am asking is if there is any way to connect to the computer using the phones network?
Some times I may be located somewhere out of town and may need to upload some files on my pc, but there is no way I can do that.
The only way would be to set up a connection on your computer for it to be ready to accept your phones signal and so on. So that you can use your phones internet to connect to your computer while out of town and control it.
Anyone find this possible? It would be great to do this.
If there is no software for it, but it is possible and if it is my idea, I wish I knew programming to create it lol.
try orb.com
I use live sync, but read here (labnol.org/internet/access-computer-files-over-internet/13816/) about other ways of creating virtual networks..
I got it to work if I connect my phone to my wifi.
Another thing to mention is when you connect your phone via usb and active sync pops up your phone isnt really connected yet so you have to click "connect phone without configuring any settings". After doing so I can connect to remote desktop.
But those 2 work, and I need it to work over 3g while I am not near my computer and out of town. Any way to do that?
Anyone else had this happen? It's a Telstra phone with the latest Telstra ROM on it, and it used to work perfectly but I recently changed providers and it doesn't work any more - I know the data connection is still OK though as browsing on the phone still works.
Not sure if it's provider blocking (but that's sooooo 2009) or if the phone itself is hard coded to use the 850MHz band for tethering or something? The error I get is simply "Error APN" - but I know the APN is correct (it's just 'internet').
You're trying to USB or wifi or BT tether the data cxn on your phone to your PC, yes...?
I guess I'm confused as to why an APN even comes into play here.
This is with USB tethering - the same as it always used to work - you plug it into the PC, select Internet on the phone and after a few seconds the PC has access to the internet. File access works fine, internet connection on the phone works fine, just not when tethered as a modem.
I've also loaded GBX0C and Windows can't recognise the device when I'm running XDA (via USB or wifi tethering - it's a desktop PC so no BT) so I can't easily test if it's the ROM or the hardware.

Please, let's keep troubleshooting to WinMo in this section... If you have an issue with a particular Android build, post in that build thread.
As for USB tethering in WinMo - when you select "internet", what happens? Do you get the noise on your PC like you've connected the phone or...? Have you tried a different port, and/or a different cable?
OK, I'll leave Android out of this - I just mentioned because it didn't help me narrow it down.
The PC makes the noise like I've connected a USB device as normal. Actually it does that twice, but that's quite common for a lot of devices. Then on the phone I get a popup window - the title bar says "Cannot Connect" and the message is "Error APN". I've tried different ports (even on a PCI-E card instead of onboard) and different cables. They shouldn't matter though as the only thing that changed was my provider.
I realise this this isn't a generic support forum though so I'm not looking for troubleshooting. I'm just wondering if anyone else has come across this with a Rhod110 - there's a lot of minor differences in this version, as I discovered when trying to get Android running. Or maybe even someone with some deeper knowledge of the OS knows if the tethered internet connection does anything different to a 'normal' 3G connection.
Hrm, I'm CDMA... so I guess I'll bow out. I've never seen/heard of those error messages when trying to tether, but GSM is quite different than CDMA in terms of data connectivity. CDMA doesn't have APN's .
Decided to do a quick search...

See if that works.
Cheers for that pointing me to that thread - it was indeed just a registry entry hardcoded to Telstra.
Leaving it blank allows me to get a couple of error messages and then eventually select a connection from the list and from there I figured out it just used whatever the connection name is (user-defined). Set the registry entry to that and now it's working just as it always used to.
I wonder how many other functions Telstra has dug it's claws into?
Hi xda-developer guys,
I hope you can help me. I have a HTC one-M8 with official Android 6.0 on it. I moved to a new flatshare and we only have Wireless Lan and I have no W-Lan Card in my PC with WIN10 x64 on it. So I connected my smartphone to my pc via usb, connected the Smartphone with the Network via W-Lan in the flat. Now the problem is that Windows Store, Steam, Origin and stuff doesn't let me connect to their servers. I guess it is because the smartphone is used for the internet connection and their is a kind of recognition that there is a mobile device connected. I think this is the case because the computer sometimes opens the mobile versions of some websites as long as I am connected over my smartphone. Do you have an Idea if it is possible to turn the recognition of the smartphone off or mask it that the steam servers recognize it as a pc and don't refuse my connection? Thanks for Help in advance.
