Hey there,
I have one of those routers in which you can plug a 3g modem and create a portable hotspot, this is my model http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/Shop/ShopDetail.asp?ProductID=7108
Instead of buying a 3g dongle, can I just use my phone and usb cable and select internet sharing on my phone, I tried this but the APN and user/pass etc. settings were all wrong on the router setup, anyone know which settings I have to put in?
Im on T-Mobile UK btw.
Thanks.

Hi guys, I recently destroyed my XDA2 and got a 2s on the insurance
Bluetooth on WM2003 SE if fair poor, but I managed to upgrade the stack thinger to 3900..... so I'm not completely XDA illiterate.
However, the wifi baffles me! I have access to an unsecured wireless network with internet access, and my 2s will connect to it. When I go on the the internet on my XDA, even with wifi connected it still tries to connect GPRS to use the internet. If I keep clicking cancel, it will load the page (presumably through the wireless network's internet access).
It has become clear that I have no idea what I'm doing with regards to networking. Could someone post a quick guide as to how to set up the wifi (from scratch) so that when it finds an unsecured network it will automatically use it for the internet.
Sorry if there's already a thread on this but I really can't find it. Cheers guys

just what i need as well, i have just bought a wifi router so i can use the internet on my xda2s.
using the wireless manger -> wireless LAN manager i get:
STATUS: connected to network
SSID: NETGEAR
TX RATE: AUTO
MODE:INFRASTRUCTURE
CHANNEL 11
BSSID: 00-09-5B-D7-DC-2A
MAC: 00-09-2D-0B-C0-A6
but even when i pull the Ethnet cable (forgot how its spelt) out of the back of the router it still stays connected. so im thinking its more my PC than the xda. the thing is the router came with no software so i have no idea if its connected properly. when i pull this Ethnet cable out of the wifi router o get network cable unplugged. The network card is Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller. Which I have never used.
if anyone has a any ideas it would stop me pulling my hair out.
Sorry to hijack this thread

Mike, I dont think the wifi first and GPRS next works. It doesnt work properly on mine either. If I try a internet access via gprs and a local wifi is readily available, the system does not automatically switch to local wifi.....I think this could be a microsoft issue than a xda issue.

when u pull out the ethernet cable from the back of the router, can you still surf the net from you xda or PC?? that seems odd. So either you are not connecting to "your" own router, or someone else has a same router with unsecured setup and you were locked onto their service....if you follow what I mean. what happens if you kill the power to your router? you should definitely notice that the wifi service disappear in your xda and PC.
Dont expect a router to disappear by simply unplugging the ethernet cable, if the router is powered up, it will show up on your xda and the PC although obviously there will be no internet access.....
sorry if i wasn't clear. i meant i was still receiving a signal from the wifi router. i could never use the internet on the pda
update:
i can browse my pc files wirelessly using resco explorer, using the standard file explorer i can view the pc files using \\network/c and i have finally been able to connect to activesync.
however i still can not connect to the internet.
Any ideas, from looking on this forum it seems lots of peeps are having problems with this but nobody seems to have the answer
XDA Wi-Fi Solution....It Works!!!!
Hi,
I'm new to the forum and new to XDA2i (presumably XDA2s is same!) ....
I too had many frustrations connecting the wi-fi...but now I've cracked it, here's how.......
On first very first use (or following a hard re-set) device users are prompted to choose “What do you want WLAN to connect to?” The option bullets are ‘Internet’ or ‘Work’….’Work’ should be selected, this will connect them to the nearest WLAN (if this network is WEP encrypted it should be switched to ‘Open’ rather than ‘shared’ as is often the case).
Next prompt asks for any WEP Encryption ‘Pass Key’ to be input, when doing so omit any ‘-‘ between character pairs. Normal start-up should then be completed. Once device is up and running…..
From ‘Start’ pull-down on the ‘Today Screen’ select…. ‘settings’>’connections tab’>’connections icon’>’advanced tab’>’Select Networks’> pull-down ‘My Work Network’ > ‘OK’ out of selections to save and exit.
Go to ‘Wireless Manager’ in programs, select WLAN icon from main screen (which should turn green to show active), then select mini ‘WLAN’ icon from lower toolbar to see the status of the connection, quality of signal etc.
That did it for me......
Cheers

Hey everyone.
I'm having trouble finding where the wifi adapter settings are on the stock T-Mobile ROM for the Touch Pro 2.
Normally you go to Settings --> Connection Tab --> Configure Wireless Adapter settings, but it's not there. If I pick Wi Fi and click on Advanced, it gives me a bunch of technical info, but nothing is editable.
I used to be able to do this on the custom ROMs for the T-Mobile Wing - right now the Touch Pro 2 is getting an IP address via DHCP, but I don't want to do that as I want to specify a static address for the Touch Pro 2 when I flip on the Wi Fi.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Anyone know?
Again I have a workaround by using static DHCP on my router, but I'd like to know how to do this in WinMo. I get a feeling I'm just looking in the wrong places.
When you click advanced setting and the Wireless LAN window appears click change network and that should put you into the Configure Wireless Networks screen.
Or go to Start->Settings->Connections Tab->Wi-Fi->Wireless Networks->Network Adapter->Click the Broadcom 802.11 DHD Network Adapter->Use Specific IP address and type it in!
Thanks Kloc. You solved my issue too.
In case anyone runs into this, my original issue was posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=555068
It turns out that if you are using a static-IP setup, you need to pre-configure the Touch pro 2 with those settings before it connects to the Linksys Router with DD-WRT firmware. Unlike a laptop that will connect and say "limited connectivity" until you fill in the Static settings, the Touch Pro 2 will continually tell you the connection failed. So anyone that is using Static settings with DD-WRT firmware on a Linksys router, be sure to use Kloc's walk through before trying to connect to your router.
Thanks again Kloc.
My wife has the Sprint version of the HTC Snap with the stock Windows Standard 6.1 ROM. I'm trying to setup Internet Connection Sharing so that she can tether to her laptop using a USB cable.
I don't think this phone has WiFi, so I cannot use a WiFi Router.
When I go into ICS, select Connect, and plug in the cable to the laptop, it seems to connect to the laptop, but displays Waiting for Network on the phone. The laptop cannot conenct to the Internet. Did Sprint do something to disable ICS? The phone has a good signal and has no issues connecting to the Internet by itself.
Has anyone gotten this to work on the Sprint network?
Hello everyone!
My phone: AT&T Tilt 2 running most recent Simplicity rom
I hope someone can help me figure this out. Essentially I was wondering if it is possible to to use the "Wi-Fi Router" app in the comm manager to create a wifi hot spot using the internet connection from connecting my phone to my PC via USB and activesync.
Sorry if thats confusing, I'll map it out:
Cable modem----Ethernet on Desktop---Activesync---connects to my Tilt 2 via USB---Wifi Router App using the connection from activesync
When I run the Wifi Router app I can only choose from ATT ISP GPRS and Media Net as the internet connection source, but I want to know if its possible to just use the internet connection from being directly connected to my PC in order to create the hotspot.
I would just use a router but it broke and I don't know when I'll get another one. Thanks!
Hi everyone,
I have a problem with my 3G dongle.
When I plug my 3G dongle (a huawei E1752 which work fine on Windows) on my android head unit :
http://fr.aliexpress.com/item/Pure-...le-178mm-100mm-2-din-with/2042911461.html?s=p
I have the signal bar but no "3G" and no internet acces.
According to this video :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wakDx1YGESU
I should have "3G" mention
The head unit is under Malaysk ROM
Anyone has a solution ?
Did you check the APN settings?
Did you try any of these:
install a APN config App and chekc APN-Settings there
use script call-pppd
remove the PIN Number form your card
move to a place with better signal strength
try the stick on a laptop to verify it works at all
connect the 3G to a powered USB hub (see hardware modifications section for more details on this)
Finally it was the PIN code
Thanks for your help.
youre welcome
