What are some good, freeware WIFI router apps that generally work on win mobile devices? I've been searching and haven't found anything worthwhile. You all are always reliable on recommendations so thought I'd ask...
Search for HTC Wifi Internet Sharing, I've been successfully using it on my Kaiser for months, and it works great, especially for freeware. But, if you want to do more interesting stuff, WMWifirouter, by our own member Chainfire, is an excellent payware solution.
+1 for HTC's free app
I don't use it all the time, but when I have needed to provide my own wifi to my laptop it has worked flawlessly.
The internet sharing app doesn't seem to do WIFI broadcasting. I'm trying to get this going before a deploy so that it will be much easier to have internet access whenever I want to email home.
I'm not so into advanced WiFi stuff, is there a chance you can set up a WiFi network on your phone and then connect to with your phone?
Right. That's what we have established... A program is available from another forum member but it costs some money. I'd like to know how to do it in some free fashion though.
I have tried the paid program and it is very nice, I just don't know that it's really worth the expenditure.

Is there a application for Nexus One or any other way to control what applications can make/have data-connections?
I at least travel alot and I need my mail to be updated but then again I don't need some other programs to do access internet when I'm abroad or when I'm home.
It's really stupid that the only way is to disconnect the whole data connection and then when you want to check your mail you need to activate it again, then some other program might do updates too. Which means lot of data is sent and received unnecessary!
E.g. my old crapy SonyEricsson mobile you could define what an application could do, Access internet, access sms...etc.
Yeah, I think DroidWall (on the market) will do what you want.
Allows you to set up a whitelist for apps that can use the cellular data connection.
Needs root and I've no relation to the developer... a mate uses it and says it does what he needs.
Great, I will try it! Thanks!
Too bad you need to have root. But for me it will work, but not for some of my friends.
can someone recommend a simple ap to show wifi and mobile data usage for the hd2. Preferably a freeware app.
have tried the one in the cabs repository but it doesn't work
SPB Wireless Monitor is the best solution I have found for this but it isn't free unfortunately. Worth the money though, I have used it for months.

thanks, yea i have looked at it, but it seems pricey for what it does
maybe i'm just narked that it's not built into the phone and i dont want pay to have it
During the holidays, I took several flights all over the US. While in the airport, I used wireless tether to connect my laptop to the internet. I also had several other users connect to my 3G--something I didn't mind unless I received slowdowns.
What I was wanting to know is would it be possible to create a custom home page that users will be brought to when they open the browser under my wireless connection? I would love to have a few links to my personal website--perhaps even a paypal donation link for those feeling generous after leeching my 3G. Is this even possible on an Android device? I know I can set this up on my home WiFi connection... but I'm assuming this is an entirely different beast.
Thanks for the help!
Sounds pretty cool!

Hello everyone,
Currently my lappy uses Nortel (XEAN) and a grid card to connect. I called my company support but they are not interested in helping me.
At this writing, I have been lappy-less for the last 3 weeks. There are 2 tasks that I cannot perform and this is one of them.
I was going to try Cisco AnyConnect ICS+ from the store and see how that goes.
Any and all comments or assistance is welcomed!
Thank you and Regards,
would like to know how you progress
We also uses VPN to connect with home pc/laptops to the office but I would LOVE to use my note 10.1 instead.
So, if you make any progress, please let me know.
THanks

I certainly will. As of this hour all dead-ends... nothing will work, I did manage to convince them to give me the group ID password but no luck in connecting.

If you want a home personal server, and have a spare android device lying about, you could try "servers ultimate" from the playstore with "openvpn"by openvpn, from the playstore, i sucessfully tested a connection between my tab and my phone, server on the phone, client on the tab, simple enough, servers ultimate after setting up the vpn server profile, it lets you export a file with the settings needed for openvpn, it was quite easy to setup.
I dont know if this is what your looking for, and im pretty sure the secure connection was over network only, as im still to unknowledgeble on these things, all i know is, apparentky there is a way to put an "internet" ip address on a vpn server profile, so that if you connect to a public wifi network like you find in stores, you can vpn to your android device at home acting as your vpn server, making an encrypted connection through the public wifi, to your android vpn, and then your vpn server would pass through YOUR home internet, while protecting your connection on the public wifi from any prying eyes who may be using apps that sniff the network data, i believe, like the apps on android that "sniff" out facebook sesions....for instance, not something i use personally
A benefit to this is that your not paying an unknown vpn to pass a "secure" connection through THEIR systems in between, you control, that in between, or at least, better control, over your own private property......i dont think its able to spoof ip address, if thats what folks might be looking for, but the servers ultimate app is pretty extensive, and my knowledge withese things is limited, so for those looking, who knows what their doing, might be worth checking it out (i wouldnt mind a small setup guide, if someone manages that)......if it makes a difference, your also able to setup a proxy server, although i never did figure out how, hell, aint to sure what it does ...........
well, hopefully this helps
I have been searching a lot about different file transferring apps. After googling a lot I kept stumbling into three apps; Xender, SuperBeam & SHAREit. I found that Xender can trasnfer file with just WiFi (without WiFi Direct) by using Virtual Router & Client concept. But I couldn't find anywhere if SuperBeam & SHAREit can do the same... All my SmartPhones have WiFi Direct & so do my friends' SmartPhones. So there is no way of checking if they work without WiFi Direct. So can anyone please confirm or verify, if SuperBeam & SHAREit apps will work wihtout WiFi Direct?
I have a small question, will Xender work with just Bluetooth (without WiFi & WiFi Direct)?
Hi Satya,
Xender uses Wi-Fi direct technology which means that it can transfers data up to 50 times Bluetooth speed, Most of the Smartphone today have Wi-Fi
There is no reason to use Bluetooth instead of Wi-Fi direct so Xender never carry Bluetooth functions.
Thanks
Firstly your question does not belong to this forum
And answer is superbeam can also use hotspot to send files, for that you need to go into superbeam's setting and then go into sending and select preferred direct mode as hotspot (instead of auto)

I asked about Bluetooth compatibility because I wanted to cover all bases. And thanks for clarifying that. But don't you think it will be cool if Xender was able to send file even when wifi and wifi direct facilities are unavailable?
I've been messing around with file transfer apps myself. On the play store there's "WiFi...." by app dev dubloo (I think) its been a bit since. Anyway, that app allows files from device to a computer with an easy to use interface via web browser. I guess the app acts like a server. If you are interested... ICE COLD APPS have *Servers*/*Synchronize* "Ultimate" by way of the play store. Plus, there is a support or feedback thread for each here on XDA. If you were looking at using superbeam I would recommend picking up the pro key as well. The main app functions well on its own, like, the pro key adds just enough at the right price to say heck with it and pick it up for $3 or so. There are a couple different options to choose from before starting a file transfer, too. And I'm pretty sure+don't quote me+ that each option has a brief description of the way the files move from device to device. Also, there is a windows app to compliment. Last, certainly not least -SimPfile(also on play) I think using WiFi direct. Like, both devices need to be on the same WiFi network. Less options than superbeam, no pro key. And for what you pay for it, its free, BTW... It gets the job done if you are looking for a straight forward app without the bells and whistles. And just to name drop, FX file explorer has a small pay once add-on for media sharing also. Feeling adventurous? Tired of of the run of the mill apps? Give that a shot.... Its been in production and updated since either the end of GB or the beginning of ICS. Each of those apps has been good to me.✌?
