Best Regards

when you are connected to activesync using bluetooth then you can surf on the internet unless your firewall is set to block it or you disabled the option in activesync on the pc

HTC CM Wifi Internet Sharing - doesn't work?

Hi,
Now that I've unlocked my TG01, I was hoping to use my data SIM in it and convert it to a MiFi, one of those portable WiFi access points.
I have tried HTC CM Wifi Internet Sharing which installs fine on the phone. It also seems to run and looks like it has set up an ad-hoc network.
However, there are a few problems:
The WiFi does not automatically turn on when you launch the program.
None of my WiFi enabled devices (PCs, phones, internet tablets) can 'see' the WiFi access point.
I'm just wondering whether this is because the program isn't really working, or has something to do with my other devices.
Anyone have success with this program?

Hey i use WMWifi Router app on my tg01 but it is only a trail

i successfully installed cm wis but can't seem to get on internet. i don't know what else to try. the help file on the program doesn't offer much help. any suggestions? or is there another program like this? i can see and connect to the access point just can't get on net

on my TG01 work fine! i have in all my cooked ROM´s this suite
AL_CommManager_Suite_with_WifiSharing_1_1.cab
you can test my ROM or install this cab. to work on TG01 you need this Reg change
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager\WLAN]
"DeviceName"="{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}\\AR6K_SD1"

Miro im using your ROM release but for the life of me cant get the wifi sharing to work, well it works and it doesnt. I can see the connection on my laptop and i've managed to connect only the internet doesnt work and it says 'identifying ... no internet access' ? This is under Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Any ideas ?

i´m now in this moment take wifi router from my TG01 to connect the internet with my Win7 32bit Laptop. i think the problem is not TG01- the Problem is you network/firewall settings

best internet sharing you have in marketplace for free, work veary good. sorry for my bad eanglish

I've only just got the htc wifi sharing app to work properly, but if you ask me its not so great. The reason why i struggled so much to get it to work in the past is that you have to keep resetting your data conection until suddenly it works ? Even then i find it goes off every 10 mins so your constantly turning your data connection on and off which isnt very convenient. I suppose its nice to be able to set up wifi as a hotspot but for me i just cant use it ...
Instead i've started using the usb method with the windows internet sharing app, this never resets and is a proper solid and stable connection. I've even bridged it to the ps3 and managed to play online games with it. The only issue of course is the NAT type, for any sort of gaming to work you need port forwarding at the very least and since were only getting nat type 3 theres quite a few issues.
I have found a nice app called ICS Control which claims to be able to manage ports, etc but i havent quite figured out how it works. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377047 Any ideas ?

Yeh i face this problem now
it worked perfect on miROM7.
but on miROM14, it no longer works
The comm manager is corrupeted, i cannot toggle my neworks, so i had insalled another version of comm manager. my WiFi router no longer works :/

i already used that reg tweak on the comm manager from your ROM thanks anyway. the phone switch, bluetooth, or WiFi switch do nothing.g when i press them. so idecided to install another comm mnager (htc) it works but i cannot use the WiFi router function :/
Thanks anyway!

Not sure why the wifi comm manager isnt working for you but id recommend trying miro's rom, the one which allows you to switch between sense, spb, and windows default. This is the only rom i've managed to get wifi sharing working on so id really recommend you try miro's rom .
On another subject, i was wondering if anyone knows of a way to share my tg01's internet connection to the pc but give it a static ip address. The problem with sharing without a static ip is certain sites recognise your ip has changed and log you out. Lets say i've wrote a huge message on and my ip changes, i click submit and that message is lost for good ! Its getting quite annoying since this constantly happens on ebay and pretty much any site that requires a log in, i've had to start copying and pasting my text just in case.

HD2 as internet source through WLAN?

I wonder if there's any app/program that can make me use my HD2 as a internet source through WLAN? I've already searched the forum for this kind of question without sucess, so now I wonder if this option are availible in the HD2 or if someone could make a app for that.
And if it is availible as a option in the HD2, I'd really need some instructions.
Regards Vrbanjac

theres a program called wifi router in the phone. where you can connect your laptop or pc too and use your data connection to access the internet.

Yes. I know that =) But with WiFi router I can't use WLAN as a internet source right?

So what do you want?
HSDPA --> HD2 --> wifi --> laptop?
Wifi --> HD2 --> wifi/usb --> laptop?
I think it's the latter.
You can connect your HD2 to an access point. However, then it is in infrastructure mode. It only has one radio with no virtual radio option. You cannot connect to a WLAN network AND simultaneously broadcast your own ad-hoc one.
However, you can connect the device to a WLAN network and connect it via usb to a laptop and then when it connects select 'internet modem' out of active sync and disk drive on the menu that appears on the phone.
Then disable the phone in commanager to force it to use wifi.

His question isn't clear at all, but I presume it's rather Wifi->HD2->laptop via USB, i.e make a USB Wifi dongle. In that case, WMWifirouter can do it.

as soon as he plugs in the HD2 via usb it will offer the 'use phone as gateway' option. no need to dialup I think. i havent tested it tho.

your laptop has no Wife function ?

perhaps he has another need for a second wifi card...yes, you techies know why you would need more than one wifi device or mac address...tehee, yes you do
Enchanter has a point though - why not get a usb dongle or pcmcia stick?
Better performance, less heat/strain on phone.

Look for Wifi Remote Access. Turns HD2 into something like a web server. You can browse and upload files to it from any other computer.

Okay thank you, and yes i mean Wifi --> HD2 --> wifi/usb --> laptop/PC.
Need it because of my wifi card is broken, and sometimes it is really usefull to have something like this.
And thank you all =) Will try what you recommended.

Did you add the mac-address of your Sensation to the MAC -table of the router as "allowed'?

No，because the routers is beyond my control. I'm sure that wifi is ok and i can access the webpage by another device without doing anything. Certainly i need to input the password.
And thank you for your reply.

its a router issue....plz disable DHCP on router ... then use NAT and put a seprate static ip for sensation... this happens if u use automatic ip config by ur ISP....nothing wrong with the fone...my frnd had same issue and i configured his router from here via team viewer and now it rocks.... get router configured...

I'm amazed at your knowledge of wireless technologies but please explain me why is it a router issue if 2 of my laptops, 2 towers and 2 of my phones (along with multiple guests' phones) have no problem accessing content on my wireless network but my Sensation throws a fit every time it's I try to connect?
Thank you in advance.

well all the routers have config options..... they transmit wireless in a particular ip range depending upon the configuration... ur devices have enrolled themselves on all possible empty slots in ip range and sensation is not able to coz it must b out of the ip range now...possibly u must have used many wireless devices but even after u disable them the temp ip auto assigned stays... so except for new devices old ones will never have problem.... jst disable dhcp in config page of router and enable nat.....if it does nt work add me on gtalk [email protected] and i'll configure ur router via team viewer....

[Q] solved - connect with wifi dongle to pc internet connection

how can i do that? thx

Do you mean you want your phone to share its internet via wifi tethering?
Sent from my SNES

no, i mean access internet from pc, via wireless usb dongle

Might want to be a bit more specific there. From what you're saying, it sounds like you're trying to do what bedalus said.
If what you mean is that you want to access your wired internet service wirelessly to your phone, you're going to need to pick up a wireless router or something.

The second part is true, i want to access the wired internet service and i have an wireless usb dongle(adaptor), also i want to share files with pc wireless.

What PS do u have? With Windows 7 you can create an ad-hoc under network sharing center -> set Up a Connection or Network -> Set up a wireless ad hockey (computer-to-computer) network. Then you can just follow the instructions on the pc

i created an adhoc connection, but the phone don't see it, also i read that that nexus s cannot do adhoc connections, it is true?

Yes you are right. Nexus s does not support ad hoc. I am sorry, I did not know that. This is weird even iDevices support it.
You can try ZT180 adhoc switcher from the market. But I cannot guarantee it will work. Because I have not tried it by myself.
Another option is using Connectify from windows 7 PC. I don't know about apple PCs. But connectify can turn your windows 7 PC into a real access point router. Not just a ad-hoc.
Well the last option is get a wifi router. What internet do you use? I am sure you can have a wifi router for all internet connections. NO matter you have ADSL, Broadband(Ethernet? I don't really know how to call it) even 3g or 4g connection can be wifi-routered! You just need to pick a correct device since NS does not support ad-hoc.

I found connectify and it works great. Thank you!

That is great! Enjoy your nexus s!

Under "Password" field in Connectify , you have an option "Internet". There you can select your internet connection to share. Hope that works!

I mean i select the win7 default connection " Local Area Connection", and set it to shared, but the Connectify connection (access point) doesn't have network access, i don't know why, i tried almost 10 times, it just doesn't work.

Update: I think i solved it, i just turn off the firewall of ESET and windows, and it works fine, thank u guys
