Hi everyone,
i'm trying to find a way to use my device as a wifi (wlan) card in any way. i have a very old notebook and yes, i already have a extra wifi card. but i think, my pda would do a better job and it would be one extra device less to 'carry'.
is there any way to use 'internet sharing' with wifi (- not with gprs!)? don't get me wrong on this. i've searched the forums and there are many answers to this question describing how to use the device as a wifi router or to connect via wifi... this is not what i'm asking for! i have a wifi router at home, i've connected my device successfully via wifi, and now i want to share this connection via usb.
any suggestions?
I clearly remember there being a way of doing it with GPS for your PC, so I dont see why it shouldnt be possible.
Any Updates?
Any Updates on this ?
This would be a gr8 help if possible.
Any suggestions mods ?
Thanks in advance.
Hi to everybody, I am a fresh HTC S620 user.
After I bought it, I flashed ookba's rom, it's working great. But my wifi connection isn't working. "Cannot log on to the wireless network. This network requires a personal certificate to positively identify you.". This is the error message.
I searched the forum and also from google but I didn't find a working solution. My network is working with WPA2 protection.
Thanks for all the replies.
From the sounds of it, you need a certificate on your phone. I am not entirely sure how certificates may work on the phone, but google terms like "Windows Mobile Wifi Certificate" or the likes, even search on XDA. I am sure you will come up with something. Like wise, I will search a bit and see if I can find an answer.
Good Luck
Thanks Cyclonezephyrxz7 but I searched about 2 days with a lot of key words, and I tried a lot of ways, I can't solve the problem ):
Could you post some [safe enough to share] info about the wireless router you are using? Possibly some [safe enough to share] connection info.
I am not a WiFi guru or any sort, which is why I put in [safe enough to share], as I leave this to your own discretion. Obviously, don't post your MAC, IP, or data of that sort, as that is not safe to share on an open forum.
Knowing data about your router may help me find a solution for you.
Thank you
my modem has 802.11g wireless connection and using WPA2-AES for protection
and also I tried wi-fi without wpa2 protection, my HTC connects to the internet but with wpa2, it can't connect and also it hasn't wpa protection, only have wpa2 protection.
Thanks for replies.
Well, I did a little Google-searching. Are you using a PEAP connection? If so, refer to this link (here)
In any other case, I will continue to search for an answer, of sorts.
Good luck
change firmware of dsl modem, I have same problem with connection I tried all rom(WM5,WM6.1 WM6.5)but no change, I flashed my modem with different firmware version , now ı can connect wifi with WPA2.
try it may be it solved your problem
mourndare you can test your modem with this program, it is virtual wifi router program.
Program : http://htcexcalibur.blogspot.com/2010/01/turn-your-windows-7-laptop-into-wifi.html
thank you very much dear friends but i can't solve the problem yet
@sincap virtual wifi router needs windows 7, I dont switched to windows 7, still using vista, i will try as soon as possible
Is there anyway I can have my desire use my PC's internet when it is connected via usb?
At this stage I dont have wifi at work and cant use that method.
Essentially I want to reverse the direction of tethering when the phone is connected to my computer.
Thanks, Dean
Unfortunately, reverse tethering or connecting the phone through computer's Internet connection (through an ad hoc wifi) is not possible, which is quite annoying. It would be nice if this type of feature, although highly unlikely, could be incorporated an upcoming ROM update for example.
That is annoying, especially since I could do this with my old WM - although thanks for the reply and info.
I wonder if it could be done through an app perhaps.
Cheers, Dean

Yes it's extremely annoying. I had this on my HD and HD2, but i really don't know why HTC could not incorporate this with the Desire. Afterall, it's a desirable (excuse pun) feature.
it has nothing to do with your phone, since it all depends on the host computer. On mac: you can do it easily by sharing your internet connection in system preferences.

maybe i misunderstood you, but its perfectly possible to make an adhoc wifi network, and connect to the internet on your desire

it has everything to do with your phone. If the phone has no interface for it, it won't work.
Can't say whether it works or not, just saying that it does not depend solely on your computer

odd, because i use it nearly everyday
So does this mean I can do it or not ?
Do I need and ad-hoc wifi network - what exactly is this ?
Thanks

If your computer has a wifi card (laptops usually do, desktops don't) you can create a local network and connect your desire to it.
No idea if it's possible over a wire
You don't need to create an ad-hoc network, just download connectify and use it as a hotspot on your laptop, then connect the Desire to the hotspot you just created and that's it.

Ahh that is handy!
Thanks for the tip
I created an adhoc network following this: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/setup/adhoc.mspx
The host laptop itself can see the adhoc network, but desire cannot.
Any ideas?
Maybe I'm wrong but AFAIK Desire can't 'see' ad-hoc networks, only access points. You can get internet from PC, but only using Connectify under Windows 7 or by using advanced magic under Linux.
Am I right or something has changed lately?
BTW: does anybody share internet from Linux? Any suggestions?
As far as i know, you can only see an ad-hoc network if you have the desire rooted and change some files somewhere (can't remember which ones...), either way the next best thing is to use some kind of software that creates an Wifi Access Point.
I don't get it: why would you want to connect to the internet via your PC instead of directly connecting to your WiFi router ?
Maybe when you only have a LAN-connection?
Or Maybe when your in Work and only have a Lan Setup
and want to access / download things on your phone,
Reverse USB tethering would be AMAZING!!!!!

Stupid me, just hadn't realized that still not everyone has a WiFi capable router nowadays...
The problem with ad-hoc internet sharing is that your host PC still needs a WiFi connection. You can't use internet through USB. I've tried it yesterday at work (yes, for the Froyo update ), but no succes.
Having a smartphone in a country with high mobile data costs is like having a Ferrari to do your local grocery shopping Fortunately I'll have unlimited mobile internet next week. So I can finally use my Desire as intended.
Hi everyone!
I'm having kind of a special problem.
I'm an electro acoustic musician and finds the Desire a lot of fun.
My new project is to use its accelerometer etc and for that I need to connect it to my Mac running OSX 10.6.5.
The issue I'm having is that my network (campus ish) won't allow me to open any ports. I don't think it's a good idea to hack it, so my next idea is to create a network between my Mac and my Desire. This network won't have access to the internet.
It also has to be via Wifi since the app I'm using only allows communication through wifi and my java skills aren't good enough to edit the apk.
I therefore run Oxygen 1.0 (GREAT rom btw) which is supposed to accept ad-hoc, and my computers own network does show up when i browse it in my phone.
The problem is that it dosn't connect since it isn't given an ip. I imagine there has to be a solution to this and I'm just not seeing it. I'm also thinking it could be an OSX issue and not really a question for this forum, but I'm pretty sure it should be possible to just make the phone not requesting an internet ip.
I've tried to set a static IP but this won't work ether.
Does anyone have a clue on how to do? I'm quite desperate really. Been searching for a solution online for quite some time and I haven't found the right one. Probably because most people using ad-hoc want it's phone to connect to the internet and therefore not having my kind of trouble. Unfortunately I have no way of connecting my computer to the router with wire since the router is about 400 meters away. Once of corse, but i really need a wireless solution in the long run.
Thanks!

I am looking for help to resolve basically the only issue I have not been able to figure out through these great forums or otherwise.
It seems that getting the tablet to work with an AdHoc network is not yet possible. I have seen comments stating that it may be possible through CyanogenMod. Can anybody confirm this? Or has another way been discovered to allow us to connect to AdHoc wifi networks?
Otherwise, does anybody know how to get ALL apps to recognize the Bluetooth internet connection? I have a Verizon phone running FoxFi and I am thethering via PdaNet Tablet when using Bluetooth; using FoxFi and stock wifi connection for wifi. Some apps will recognize the internet connection while others will not. Is there some way to point all apps to the Bluetooth internet connection?
Thank you in advance for your input.

you need to recompile the kernel to add ibss to the wifi driver and recompile wpa_supplicant to recognize ad-hoc.
If you don't want to do this, most versions of aokp/cm will have it working.
if you are using foxfi, you shouldn't need to worry about ad-hoc

I may be falsely assuming that it is an ad-hoc issue just due to what I have read from others commenting on the issue (re: your comment about FoxFi).
I am going to start by trying one of the more recent CM nightly releases (cm-10.2-20131105-NIGHTLY-flo) and do a little research to see what is involved in recompiling the kernel to add ibss to the wifi driver and recompile wpa_supplicant to recognize ad-hoc and respond back.
Thank you for the input!

Does Pdanet create a connection as a VPN or actual bluetooth tethering? If it's the former, there's the reason. I'm under the impression that apps will be able to properly understand a bluetooth internet connection (via bluetooth PAN I believe)

When I tested FoxFi it acted as a regular Access Point so normal wifi was all that was needed to connect.
Usually it is the WiFi Tether for Root app that sets of the phone as an ad-hoc connection, forcing the tablets connecting to it to also have ad-hoc support.

I truly don't know the answer to this. Can you provide some instructions on testing this theory? I have tried the app Bluetooth Auto Connect and set the connection up with the phone as a PAN connection. I can pair the phone and my n7 together, but the stock Bluetooth manager never shows the two as 'Connected' versus other Bluetooth devices. Any suggestions?

Then I think it must be a limitation with the LG VS660 phone that I'm using.
The good news is that the installation of CyanogenMod worked! What would have been intermittent connectivity every 5 minutes or so has now been turned into a solid wifi connection. Apps that would have rarely worked on the wifi connection are now working with no problems.
However, I am still very interested in figuring out the Bluetooth connectivity option. For those who may not want / like to go the CM route, it would be nice to have a simpler solution. Plus, my wife has a stock 2012 n7 and I would like to be able to get hers connected without rooting it. Any input on how to accomplish this would be great!
