So i've installed the said addon, including files and i can connect to "android tether" and phone vibrates etc... However it says local access only on the pc, i can't get internet. Does anyone have any tips on what i may be doing wrong? Should i not update to the newest files if i am going to run tether or is it all compatible now? I've tried both ways with no luck, i must be doing something wrong...
Touch pro 2, Sprint
I only now make a thread because i've asked a bunch and no answers in the mega thread
You might not be getting any answers because this is the TP1 sub-fora. There's a whole section for the TP2 dude.
Not sure what the status of tethering on the TP2 is, but I recommend you go over there!!!!
I actually got it working, with an aosp version. man seems faster than regular windows. now if only it didn't break all internet when i try to reset my data ;p

Hi, I just recently purchased my Hermes, I have the ATT 8525 and I already upgraded to WM6 (I used the official one offered from HTC) and I have been reading everything on this site, it has everything for the phone! I just have a couple quick questions, I didn't purchase a data plan yet and have been using WiFi at all times that is possible and trying to stay away from the 3G until I get the unlimited data. Here is my first questions:
If the screen just shows the little WiFi antenna and not the 3G, does that mean I'm only using WiFi to access the internet via IE or could it still be using the 3G?
I haven't installed the "NoData" application yet and was just wondering if I really need to as long as I make sure I'm connected to WiFi and not use the data options while i'm away from WiFi.
My Second Question:
When I get my MicroSD card, will this allow me to install applications to it or how does that work? Is it only for storage of media that can be acceseed by the phone or can I download a CAB to it and install things to the OS from the SD card?
I have to say the forums here as well as the Wiki offer a lot of help and I want to thank all of you and I hope to be more active in the boards.
Cheers
1. I would still install the no data cab, just to be on the safe side. I haven't got my Rogers bill yet since I switched to the 8525, so I'm not sure if I've connected with 3G, but better safe then sorry.
2. Most apps can be installed on the card, some more crucial apps, like Today plugins, some SPB apps, ect can't be, if your not sure use the advanced google search and you'll probably find the answer...

Yes I've tried searching.
I've tried to update with and without the data box checked. Wifi on and off. Is it disabled and ROMs and radios are done by htc? I'm so confused. I was born yesterday so I'm new to technology.
Connection to the update server is not available. Check your data connection settings and ensure the device date and time are correct.
Result Code:
80072ee7 (seems to be an error used by windows in general and not just mobile - mentions some static ip stuff for vista but I don't think you need that kinda stuff with a phone)

Help please
Windows update not working is normal. I think carriers must support it for it to work and I don't know of any carriers that do.

Thanks. That means I have to figure out how to manually update through HTC's website or are there OTA updates like with android?

Traditionally, updates to Windows mobile devices are done via ROMs that you download to your computer and flash via a USB connection.I think some kind of OTA updating is possible, but I doubt of t-mobile will support that.

Well I also have the G1 from t-mobile and that has OTA updates, but that also doesn't allow tethering while for some reason winmo phones are apparently allowed to tether 24/7, so who knows.
I forgot to mention that my phone seems to be going abnormally slow and not reacting at a reasonable speed. I have no idea how I left that little nugget of info out since it's the reason I'm trying to update. I saw the MMS +international and a ROM update on HTC's site, but my versions are newer, so I'm not sure what's up (and I'm also horrible at navigating to info I need). I always go through all the settings when I get a new piece of plastic and I can't seem to speed this baby up no matter what I do. It seems to be at its worst in IE, with or without lots of stuff on the page, and besdies that it just doesn't seem as fast as it should be. The phone's only new-to-america, right (as in it's been out in other countries)? And winmo's been out for decades, so I don't think that's blamable on it being "new".
Man I'm horrible at finding stuff. I had that page with the updates on htc's site and now I can't find it again. I checked the online manual and it talks about windows update like it works too, but maybe that part is just part of the default windows mobile manual. I'M SO CONFUSED
Posting from my phone now, it took about three minutes to get down to this phone from the main forum page, and when it locks up I can't click menu or anything and yes the page was done loading and no I don't know why at 5AM I remember details I shoulda posted back at 5PM. Instant messages and texts also don't show up in order and some take literally hours to show up at all. My G1 and my cousin's sidekick both work in this location so I don't think it's a connection problem although I do get errors about not being able to connect to certain things but I have no idea what it means. One is like 'can't dial blah blah' but I'm not calling anyone.
I've never really had a good experience with windows mobile but I doubt this phone is actually really THIS bad. But, there's also nothing really pointing out a direct relation to this being a software or hardware fault.
Actually I'll post this then I'll post my version info maybe I'm not up to date
I can't copy paste this stuff? This is gonna suck
ROM ver.........1.20.531.4 (51986) WWE (this a limited edition wrestling phone or something?)
ROM date.......06/08/09
Radio.............3.45.25.14
Protocol..........61.27T.25.23U
I think I typed that all right. Is that up to date? I can't quite figure out htc.com, hell I can't even navigate my own site
I also can't seem to switch to transcriber or anything other than the default on screen keyboard
Posted this in another forum, but you all are the experts. Impossible for me to access my work WiFi because of redirects (splash screen to accept use parameters).
Wondering if a custom ROM fixes it or if there is another solution.
Having an issue connecting to WiFi with Evo updated via official release of 2.2. I couldn't access it via 2.1 either. It's an odd network designation.
However, the iPhone can connect once I okay the error message.
Is there a work around that you may know about? Web search basically told me that the protocol is old and useless and that it should be changed. That is not possible.
Network designation is 1.1.1.1. I was unable to add links clarifying this because I am a new user.
Well Android can not connect to 1.1.1.1 addresses / networks / redirects. However the iPhone can. Is it inherent to the Android, or is there an app or tweak to get it to work.
This message ends by saying it will be fixed with Froyo.
Still can't post links to show what I mean.
Steamliver I just did a Google search for "Android 1.1.1.1" and this was the top result: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1597
I'm guessing this is the problem you are describing. Sounds frustrating and it has been going on for a long time. The newest post at the time I'm writing this recommends installing the Fennec browser (Firefox for Android, basically) and that worked for the poster.
If you have a laptop you could bring to work and tether via USB, I wonder if that would work? Just a temporary work around to use the phone to establish the wifi connection, then view the browser redirect on the laptop, accept, and then maybe you would be good to go?
Also, the simplest thing might be to call the IT department and ask them for help. Given Android's growing market share, one of them probably already have an Android phone and a fix for this problem. Good luck.
I have tried firefox and that did not solve the problem, does anyone have another ideas how to solve this.
It seems that 1.1.1.1 is locked in the android.

I've done my searching through the forums, and I'm either bad at Google or this information is just very hard to find on the XDA forums (I'm guessing it's the latter, because it seems 90% of the information I try to find on these forums takes a good amount of effort beyond a simple search, but that's a different topic).
Anyway, I've seen several options for tethering and as a relatively new Evo user, I'm confused which path to follow.
I am currently running the new Fresh 3.5.0.1 but would be willing to switch ROMs to obtain USB tethering features. The computer I would like to tether has Windows 7 Home Premium, though I dual boot Ubuntu 10.10 occasionally and can also do this if necessary.
Any suggestions (or explicit step-by-step instructions) would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Most, if not all, of the custom ROMs have USB Tethering unlocked. If not, there's a flashable zip that will unlock it and you need HTC Sync installed (not really for HTC Sync but for the HTC Drivers it also installs with it) on your computer.

I am not 100% sure but I assume that Fresh 3.5.0.1 has the usb tethering fix. If not do a search in the forums for "usb tether fix" and then download and install the apk. After that the rest of these instructions should work for you.
As suggested above go ahead and ensure that you have the latest HTC drivers for your computer installed on the PC. Best bet is to follow instructions that came with the device for sync connection.
This installs ther driver. Then follow instructions to establish a connection/partnerhips for sync.
Now to use USB tether:
On the phone itself when you first connect it to a pc via USB you will see a notification pop up or be at the top of your phone screen. If you do not see the pop up slide the notification bar down from the top of the screen since this is where you choose which type of USB connection you would like to make. The option you want will be USB tether which should be one at the very bottom of the list.
Select this and then make sure to click done at the top left.
After that if the rom has it enabled your pc should have a network connection.
Try browsing to something and verify the connection.
One other suggestion that I have found helpful since I use this quite often is to disable background sync.
Do this by going to settings>accounts and sync> then uncheck background data. This help reduce the applications that may use the connection while you are tethered. Just remember to turn it back on if you want your email and other apps to do syncs.
Good luck!
I've only been able to get 3g with the built in usb tethering (same ROM as the OP).
After much frustration, i succumbed to the madness and went with pdanet. 4G tethering works fine with it. If you want to use access ssl sites, you will have to pay the license fee.
Also, "wireless tether" (code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ , code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wireless_tether_2_0_5-RC2.apk&can=2&q= ) for wifi tethering. I installed RC1 as that's all that was available yesterday. Seemed to work well, supports wpa2 security only, decent speeds up to 5M down, 1M up here in chicago.
If you want the honestly easiest way:
1) Install CyanogenMod (and GApps) on your phone.
2) Install the Android SDK and HTC Drivers (from HTC Sync) on your computer.
3) Be online already for the first connection (so Windows can pull any additional drivers)
4) In CM, go to Settings>Wireless & networks>Tethering & portable hotspot>USB tethering.
5) Enjoy!
In less than a month, we're expecting to have WiMax setup and ready to go on CyanogenMod, possibly along with Gingerbread by then.
A lot of new ROMs have this feature unlocked, but if you really want a good USB tethering feature PDAnet is a free app that doesn't even require root that I STILL use for USB tethering (even though I am rooted)
Thanks guys turns out this latest version of Fresh does have the USB tether unlocked. The system displayed a dialog claiming it's not part of my Sprint plan and was disabled but it actually works fine. After installing HTC Sync of course.
The main issue now appears to be that my 4G isn't tethering - but I'm sure that will be fixed eventually and hey it's all much better than paying Sprint more for something I've already got anyway.

I have XdAndroid up and running on my Us Cellular Touch Pro 2. I can play around a little with it ie camera, home pages etc, but I can't get a signal or connect to my network at all. I was also wondering if there was any way to get apps on it without going through the market, or using android. If for some reason I cant use Android to make calls/ go on the internet I would still like to be able to dl stuff for it and mess around.
I followed the steps on the developers how to use android on a SD card thread and got it going fairly easily, I just cant figure this out, or find the info I'm looking for.
I am a noob at this but I am loving learning how it all works. Thanks in advance for the help!

Try going into your settings in WM to All Settings * Personal * Phone * Network and make sure the mode is set to CDMA only. The FAQ on the various project pages may have more info.
