Hello. I am planing on getting a MyTouch 4G (T-Mobile) and a iPad 3G for GPS use. As of now I am using a MyTouch 3G and I already have a data plan on it, so it will be transfered to the MyTouch 4G when I get it. I do not want to be paying another $25/2GB for the ATnT data plan. I think there is a way around it. Can you guys tell me about it?
My questions are:
1. Is there a software on Android that will allow my phone to act as if it was my Wi-Fi router, so that I can connect my iPad via Wi-Fi to it? If yes, that what is it called?
2. Will I be able to use my phone to make phone calls while the iPad is connect to it via Wi-Fi?
Thanks...

Ive read about the HTC wifi sharing/tethering cab and will give it a try when I get my HD2..
couple quick questions.
1. How does Tmobile's 3g network compare in speed to evdo rev.a or At&t's 3g.
2. On my Palm Pre I use Mobile hotspot and it works perfect.. except when calls come in it stops.. At&t claim you can use the internet and talk on the phone.. Is this the same for Tmobile.. can i tether and receive calls without interpution? I like to stream talk radio at work to my laptop at work via tethering yet it's really annoying when I lose the connection anytime anyone calls.
THanks for any info.
In theory, the TMo 3G should be the fastest save for maybe Sprint? They just rolled out 7.2mbps HSPA+
And yes, you should be able to talk and have data at the same time, even on Tmobile. As long as you have a 3G/H signal.
thanks, thats great!

Actually, T-Mobile's HSPA+ is clocked at 21mbps. And thats only began to be rolled out across the US.
The T-Mobile US HD2 supports HSPA which is 7.2mbps.
The T-Mobile HD2 is also confirmed to support HSPA+ by T-Mobile

To put it simply: execute the Wifi router app and then connect to the phone like any other wifi hotspot.
Didn't I read in another thread, that TMobile removed the Wifi router app?

tethering tmobile hd2
You can also tether your phone through "Internet Sharing." Here is how.
1. Make sure you have Windows Mobile device center. Open it up and connect your hd2.
2. Go into the Connection Settings in the Mobile Windows Device Center and make sure you have "Allow data connections on device when connected to a PC" checked.
3. Go into Internet sharing on your hd2. It can be found under "Tools".
4. Once you open the Internet sharing application. You should see where it says PC Connections:USB and Network Connection: T-Mobile Data. In the bottom left corner you should see the word "Connect."
5. Make sure you have your data connection turn on and then push the word "Connect" and the hd2 will connect to your laptop. Then you can use your t-mobile hd2 to surf the internet through your laptop.
I have already done this and it works for me. God Bless (John 3:16) and Happy Surfing!!!
In reality ( miami, ft lauderdale area) its kinda of sux.
It shows strong 3g Signal but not anywhere near Verizon 3g or ATT 3g. I am using this to for the Ipad and it seems very slow. On some spots it can produce around 1.3 mbps but mostlys tays around 300k to 700K with full 3g Bar .
Waiting for Sprint EVO to switch. I also have 4 other lines with verizon and their network is way faster.
Can't get the Wi-Fi router to work
I just downloaded the HTC Wi-Fi router and can't seem to get it to work. It says it is running, but my laptop will not find my HD2 as a wireless access point.
Any ideas?
I have the HD2 Tmous
Ok, apparently you have to do a restart to get the application to work after installing. I did that and now my laptop can find the HD2 wi-fi, but it can not get connected. It looks like it is establishing a connection, but then fails.
I am having this problem too. I cannot connect my laptop no matter what. Usb or wireless.
I'm even on the stock ROM just to be sure. I'm on ATT.
Mine is working fine with booth a cooked rom on one phone and also a pure one from tmobile.
I might not be using the same one as the link that was posted here.
I searched for "wifi router by tom gordon", and have been using that one.
maybe google for that one and try it. Ive used it and had 3 devices connected to wifi at once.
good luck.

can we do Tethering on att network ?
is there a Reg Edit we need to do ?
want to tether with Usb
Please Please Help
they finally rolled in the HSPA+ network
here in Tampa
it's comming soon to Miami area
http://t-mobile-coverage.t-mobile.com/
i get 4Mb/s now
make sure you hit ok when it shows the picture of the laptop and phone
or else the app hasn't started yet.
fyi this is faster than the so called "4g" from sprint.
Sprint's 4G is just marketing.
really isn't a true 4G network
or if you're just tethering for yourself and not a group, you can go the slightly slower route but save power by tethering over bluetooth.
I was wondering if anyone has come up with a hack to tether android phones for free. Or maybe hacked androids mobile wifi app to be free
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
This has been around sense the beginning of Android.
Thanks, i hope it works for my inspire
When I saw the header for this I was hoping it would help me tether my next book via wifi to my cell phone ( a HTC TOUCH PRO 2) . Not this though, does anybody know what hack I can use to get my nextbook to recognize the wifi router from my cell phone?
I would use it if i could figure out how to root my phone
sent from my inspire 4G with xda android app
What am I missing?
I have a new Inspire / ATT (I am new to Android; previous was Tilt2 with WM6.5, heavily modified). Wifi hot spot came built in and I have used it to connect my notebook to the internet.
What I thought this was about was an Android equivalent to WMWIFI, which allowed one to do the hot spot thing but ATT could not detect the phone was tethered, I looked for that because I was grandfathered with ATT and would be able to have unlimited data for $30 a month. But I could not find this function for Android, so had to go with a tethered plan for $45 (all data inclusive) and limited to 4GB a month. If I could do the equivalent of tether without a tethered account, then I could stream video, etc, unlimited.
But this app looks to me to just be an implementation of the stock tethering. Or am I misunderstanding it?

Your misunderstood. This app is undetectable by carriers, in my case sprint, and allows tethering without paying per month for it. All you need is a data package and rooted.

I'm within my 30 days. I wonder if I can drop the extra $15 for tethering, and also go back to my grandfathered unlimited data. Thanks for the explanation.
Now I need to figure out the rooting process. My Tilt2 was heavily modified (using ROMs and phones by others), but the process was the same for all. Now it appears that every phone seems to have a different root process and I can't find it for the Inspire.
Another Question Though
Would this also allow me to download video, streaming it to the phone, without ATT knowing it, or is it just for hot spotting?

Streaming it to the phone? What do you mean? The WiFi tether does exactly what it says: WiFi tethering. So yea you can download videos and netflix with your computer.
I don't have an inspire but I believe if your connected via your WiFi router you can stream videos from your computer to your phone. I've never tried though.

Look on ur sdcard storage for your drivers They should be listed as "HTC DRIVERS"
Also make sure your HTC SYNC is up to date

The nexus s comes preloaded with tethering, this isnt limited by your carrier as the nexus s has no restrictions on this per agreement with tmobile or as an unlocked edition thru best buy,wife has a nexus s and no tethering package added on and it works fine, open up your setting and select wireless & networks then scroll down to tethering and portable hotspots
My laptop has had this issue before i got an android phone. I had wm phone. Im still trying to find out why.

IDK about a hack for recognition but I do use EasyTetherPro.apk on unrooted device and I have more than tripped my tether usage allotment ....Still going. It's got a setup for tablets too, though I've never tested anything besides USB tethering and the app is legit there ..so.....Maybe give that a try...Its 10$ ($9.99) but to bypass my 8gb limit =priceless
HTC Touch Pro 2 is Windows Mobile... and that post is 6 years old.
Hello all, i want to have access to wifi at work (dads bakery) there is no wifi signal there, is there other alternatives to have access to wifi? im not familiar with this things do i have to buy something portable to have it i do have 3g with t-mobile on my phone.
not sure what type of phone you have, but you can tether your "phone internet" to your transformer.
i just did it while on a road trip from my wife's old Palm treo Pro i connected via bluetooth tether
If you have an android phone, you can try to use the Bluetooth tethering option, which doesn't require rooting the phone. If you do a search on the forums, someone made a nice step by step guide for it. The bluetooth option never worked for me so I had to end up rooting my phone and then downloading wifi tether. Downside is it makes your phone really hot and can cause it to crash or turn off. I'm super ghetto so I have the back case off my phone leaned up against a fan hahahahaha....keeps it at a nice 79 degrees instead of 110 degrees.
I'm not an expert at these things either, I just looked for guides on this forum and also youtube. Took me a couple of days to get it all working. Goodluck!
You could try a wireless 'hotspot' from one of the wireless broadband providers too.

Does your dad's bakery have internet at all? If he has broadband there you could just setup a wireless router.

Depends on how much you use your TF for that purpose but 200MB is very little. Becareful about getting charged overages.
Hi All,
I have the stock rom from Orange on my HTC Sensation and when using the portable WIFI Hotspot, my laptop see's the phone and connects when I input the key, but doesn't seem to use phone's 3g for internet.
Whilst laptop is connected to phone, I can still get the internet on the phone so I know the 3g is working, but still no internet on laptop????
Has anyone else tried using their phone as a portable wifi hotspot on their Sensation and say a laptop for internet?
Any help would be appreciated,
Juice

yes it works on my tmobile us but i have tethering in my plan, maybe thats why its not working.On my girlfriend phone she tried it and tmobile block the feature because she didn`t have a tethering plan they let you use it at first then the block it, they did it to me.I called and found out that they will block it after awhile if you dont call in and get the plan some rep told me somtimes they just add it to your next bill if they see that your using internet sharing wich is tethering.
So I have the unlimited plan from Metropcs on my nexus 5. I can tether and connect to internet via my computer and all that but only when the phone is operating on 3g speed. The moment it goes on LTE I can't use internet on my computer. I can only use nexus for internet. I am pretty sure I need to change something related to APN but idk what exactly. Appreciate if anyone could share their solutions. Thanks in advance.
