AWESOME: HD2 connected to internet via USB Dongle

Indeed a dream until someone special converts it into a reality.
Can HD2 connect to a USB Internet dongle (the ones that connect to notebooks via USB for accessing internet) and go online? If that can be made possible, HD2 will be able to connect on the go without using WIFI.
that would be AWESOME

NOPE .. can't do it ..
if you are talking about wired usb dongle no ... HD2 does not support USB Host mode, so you cannot plug devices into the HD2, the HD2 is the device ...

Hmm..
It is possible to connect HTC to other devices via bluetooth. I am sure the host capabilities are there. The only thing is to instal the software and the right driver and it wud connect. I have an Internet USB dongle that connects to my service provider. It automatically instals software when it is plugged into a windows notebook.
Been wondering if that software can be modified to instal on Wm 6.5 and then with the right chip drivers access internet.

That is bluetooth host, not usb host, to entirely different communication stacks .....
Besides, why run your battery down that much, to power a usb dongle, buy a wifi access point, usually cheaper than the usb dongle , connect via wifi ...
Why would you want to WIRE your wireless phone??
I would doubt a USB dongle is the only way to connect to your ISP , get a router with an access point ... easier on you easier on your phone ...

I'm a bit puzzled as to what you would actually be gaining, if this were possible.
The HD2 is a phone, it contains a SIM, and if you have data service enabled, it can already connect on the go, without using WIFI.

I was just thinking the same thing?! lol

Check out this software, WM WIFI ROUTER 2.00 (build 1502) there is a trial for the software, and for complete use, buy license. should be cheap

I think you missed his point, he wants to plug his ISP's usb dongle into his HD2 and then use his ISP's connection on the HD2 ...
The Wifi router app does not do that, it allows you to surf the web on your PC via the HD2 ...

Reverse Tethering?

At work, there's no Wi-Fi and no T-Mobile signal.
Is there a way to use my PC's network connection to provide data to my phone? I have a rooted Android phone.

I´m also looking for this.
It is the same thing we can do with ActiveSync in Windows Mobile: you get internet access trough your PC...
I hope someone can help us with any clue.
Thank you.

Hi both of you!
It's called ad hoc network, if you have Vista or Windows 7, do like this:
Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Center -> Set up a new connection or network -> Set up a wireless ad hoc (computer to computer network) -> Follow instructions!
Good luck

You forgot to mention the tiny problem that Android has do damn Ad-Hoc support....

honestly just try starting your own network go grab a wifi dongle thats capable and go from there that or get a wireless router and try that sharing the internet connection to the router OR bluetooth connection if your phone is capable ! many different ways ive tried them all but usb tethering ive never heard of out side of wm os

It is possible...
I wrote about this before. It is possible to do via usb cable if you use Sense as it is a standard feature in Sense connection... Just plug in and you can choose to use PC internet connection.
I have done it a lot with my PC

My custom rom (x10 mini pro) support ad hoc as far as i know.

Connectify
If you are using Windows7, you might want to take a look at Connectify. Just google "connectify for windows". I can't post outside links yet.
Direct from their website:
Take any Internet connection and share it wirelessly with no additional hardware, wires, plugs, or chargers
Easily connect any number of Wi-Fi enabled devices to your network including desktop computers, laptops, phones, gaming systems, and more
Don't break the bank paying for multiple Wi-Fi connections on the road, Connectify is ad-supported and free to download and use.

Adhoc can be made to work

Of course this would need a wifi dongle in your work PC, will admins allow that?

in the newer roms with gingerbread it's an option to do this when you plug in your phone.

[Q] Computer internet connexion sharing via bluetooth with android device...

Hi,
I'm a happy owner of both a Nexus One and a Nook Color, both rooted and running CyanogenMod.
I got a full data access on my mobile so I can tether its connexion to either any laptop (using wifi or usb tethering) or the Nook Color (using wifi or bluetooth PAN). That's working quite fine even though this requires to get a good data signal strength covering the place you are.
Unfortunatelly, at work, I almost got no data access.
My laptop got full internet access via its LAN Ethernet adapter and has both wifi and bluetooth available.
My question is simple : How can I share my laptop's internet access with my android devices using bluetooth ?
PS : Even if I can only pair one of the two android devices with my laptop at a time, that still would rock !
Thanks !

Bump... I have the same question and exactly the same situation...!!

I have same problem here. My computer get full access internet via LAN, and just only have bluetooth connection (no wifi). How i can share it? symbian can share bluetooth internet connection with apps called GNUBOX. How about Android? Anyone can help??

I think that you can't use internet over bluetooth,
maybe you can try using internet over usb cable - it is supported in newer android updates

[Q] How to share PC LAN internet with my phone via usb?

Hi I don't have a router/a wireless card for my desktop, and I was wondering if there is a program for internet sharing via USB? Something like PdaNet(tried it on my G3 but it doesn't work)...

I found this, but you have to use Linux.
Sorry for the trouble with the link, but it does not allow me to post one.

What you are referring to is called "Reverse USB Tethering". It is a function available by default in HTC phones (Internet Pass Through) but sadly we do not have this function natively built in. I made a thread on this topic long time back, search for it.
It all depends on what OS you are using on your PC and whether or not you have a static LAN connection. Theoretically it can be implemented for Windows but it is quite tricky and requires DHCP enabling. Unfortunately i have a static connection and i couldnt do it so i use a wi-fi dongle.

[Q] wifi hotspot

Hi all,
Wondering if anyone knows of an Android app that will allow me to share the lan connection on my tablet via wifi?
Have looked at lots of hotspot type apps but the vast majority are simple shortcuts to an exisiting wifi hotspot function that shares the mobile data connection.
Seems daft to me that I have lan and wifi on my tablet but I'm looking at an ap to connect my other devices!
Thanks
Jin

I didnt understand what u said
If u want to share ur tab net to other use wifi hotspot
If u have wifi connection u can connect via wifi
Sent by typing by my fingers

Are you trying to tether your data connection or do you mean using your tablet as a hub for an existing wifi connection?
What phone do you have?
What carrier?
Did you root your phone?
Have you flashed a new ROM?
Sorry but you were rather vague in your post.

Ok thanks. To clarify my tablet (not phone and therefore no carrier involved) has both ethernet and wifi I would like to use the ethernet to connect to my network/internet and then broadcast that connection via wifi.
This is exactly the same thing a normal wifi hotspot does except it broadcasts the mobile data connection as opposed to a wired connection.
The tablet has been flashed with Tims 6 ROM

Don't now if it's possible. On phone it;s not possible to share be a hotspot when you're on wifi. I guess it uses the same piece of hardware. That might also be the case for you with the LAN.
BTW try talking to this guy :

he had sort of the same question perhaps he figured it out?
edit: This is also you i now see.. never mind

How do you have your tablet connected to the internet, wireless or wired? If wired, how did you do that? If it's wireless, you're just using your tablet as a signal booster.
What i'm confused on is if you connected your tablet wireless and want to connect other devices to your tablet's "wifi" which in essence is wifi, why can't that device connect to the same internet as your tablet?
I think we're all a bit confused on what you're trying to accomplish.

Sorry folks struggling here with what you don't get (not being smart just confused)
I have an Android tablet that has both wifi and an ethernet connection, I connect to my network via ethernet and want to use that connection to then create a wifi hotspot for my other devices to connect to.
I already do this with my win7 laptop and am looking for an app to do the same on the tablet.
If my terminology is correct I need to bridge the lan connection to the wifi adapter?
