[Q] WiFi Hotspot on Windows Phone 7 - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know this have been asked many times before but is there any chances we can get a Wifi Hotspot app for WP7?
Is it even possible with the actual version? Maybe we will have to wait until Mango?
I know you guys hate this kind of question but i'm on this forum for more then 1 year i've never created a topic. Always searched and found what i wanted to know...
Even if the app is not free i really don't care cause it's essential for me...
Thanks in advance
Atomos
Sorry for my english

I'm dreaming for one too...

currently only USB tethering is possible, not even sure if all devices are supported
mango should make it possible... but not offical

It mean i'll have to wait until october...
Well i am shure i saw somewhere a Dev who said that it was actually possible with the actual tools to create such app...
Thanks for the reply by the way

I got a frustrating behavior from my phone. I created a WiFi hotspot on my Laptop on Windows 7. The hotspot enabled other phones to connect to internet via my wired connection on laptop. The frustrating part is ONLY WINDOWS PHONE 7 DEVICES were not able to detect the hotspot !!!!!

With the developer beta out, is there any new information regarding wifi hotspot capabilities for WP7?

I have the HTC Arrive and I can tell you that thus far usb tethering does not work.
The devices that do work do not have a qwerty keyboard so it may be only a line or 2 of code needs to be added to the xap to make it function like it does for everyone else, or it may be something else. The device appears to dial out though so I believe this problem is definitely fixable with some help.
DVFN the creator of df router also said the code for wireless tethering is in the original diagnostic app, unfortunately because some people erased the app and can now no longer connect to zune they started to complain. Because of this I haven't even gotten a response from df and he probably left the community

HD2 wi-fi Hack?

OK I've left Blackberry, to small of everything & I've found AndroidPolice besides that I just learned there's a hack to make the HD2 wi-fi come alive.
1) does this allow the HD2 to make phone calls on wi-fi?
2) if yes "where is it???"
It will be the Samsung S (no wi-fi calls) or a Nexus One (which makes wi-fi calls). Geez what a choice.
I'm asking with all respect, pls answer my questions, I don't want to leave Windows. Thanks.

I don't know if this is what you're referring to, but there's a cab that will enable draft-N wifi on the HD2. You'll find it in a stickied thread in the T-mobile HD2 forums' general section. I have no idea what's currently possible with voip calls over wifi with the HD2, but if it IS possible, then that's also the best place to look to find out.
Thanks. I think what your suggesting is #39. If as it says enables n I sure hope this does allow wi-fi calls. Again Thanks.

Are you asking about Skype? Because enabling Wireless Draft N support does not really mean that you'll be able to make wi-fi calls.
My ATT DSL has wireless & my location provides a necessity for wi-fi calls inside my home. WI-FI is the #1 item I need to purchace another phone.
This is my main search, so any ideas for a decent phone with this concern is greatly appreciated. Thx.

[Q] WIFI/ICS problem with Wp7.8 HD7

My HD7 is not identifying any WIFI network and ICS shows "Internet Sharing isn't currently available"
This problem is there with wp7.8 only, its not there in previous versions...
Please help me! :crying:
If doing a hard reset doesn't fix that, then reflash the rom...
what rom are you using?
I've tried all 7.8 ROMS..
Not even a single 7.8 ROM fixes this problem..
In Earlier versions, WIFI and ICS are working properly..
Only in 7.8 ROMS, its not working
Sorry but...
That's B.S.
I'm using Dynamics V2.0 and I used ICS, and no problem with it, the same with Deepshining ROMs, they work.
Remember that the ICS option uses password security unless you don't want that.

I realise that language may be totally acceptable where you come from but to many, telling them that they are speaking "BS" might come across as being quite offensive.
there is clearly a problem otherwise the OP wouldn't have posted the question, So its not "BS" but the answer may be simple or even a misunderstanding, talk it through with them, perhaps you may provide an answer, perhaps its a device specific problem.
Just a wee word of advice, that's all!
happy new year my friends!

Dear Friends,
I'm still having this issue.. Please help me!!
I had a similar problem on my Nokia Lumia 710 after flashing a custom ROM (I don't remember which, maybe Rataplan?) but I solved it by downloading the Nokia Network Setup app from the Marketplace, which automatically setup my APN for data. I think HTC has a similar one called HTC Connection Manager, so I would try that. Hope that helps!

Dear phantomsniper,
Thanks for reply. But you are talking about Data connection. But my problem is with the WIFI and Internet sharing. My data connection is working fine. Please let me know if you have any workaround for this issue.
Regards,
Karty
That's the strange thing actually. My data connection on the phone worked fine, but the internet connection sharing didn't. After running the Network Setup app, both worked perfectly. I don't know why, but my assumption is that Windows Phones have two sets of APNs. One for regular data and one for internet sharing.
In my case, I think the ROM had the AT&T APN for regular data, but not the one for internet sharing, so the Nokia app fixed that. I've never owned an HTC windows phone, so I can't comment on how they may work. I guess it's worth a try though. I hope this helps, and good luck!
did anyone find a fix for this issue?
idk, I've updated to 7.8 (8862) and used it for more than 1 year, no WiFi or Bluetooth issues
while most users had this problem after they've updated to 7.8 take a look at this discussion with Microsoft Support
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...e/a15a3040-72e9-447f-8aaf-f1326bbf6b4a?page=6
I tried to flash an old stock rom, it worked.! but only for few hours :/
I tried to flash custom 7.8 roms nor NWA or Deepshining fixed it
well I've noticed that if you repeatedly do a hard reset for many times it works! but only for few minutes,, I'm not sure but it seems that WiFi fails again right after phone been locked or goes to standby mode.
pleeeeease, if someone have found a fix for this, or can do a workaround to fix this issue, please share it with us.

[Q] Hotspot on phone won't connect to android tablet

I'm not sure where to put this so I'm going to post it here but if it's in the wrong spot please feel free to move it, Mod.
Ok, I have a Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE (downgraded to 3G, no 4G in my area) running Android 4.1.2 that I use my Hotspot internet off of. I have connected it to just about everything, computers, tablets, and other phone and it has always worked perfectly until now. I got a Visual Land Prestige Pro 7D tablet running Android 4.1.1 for Christmas and for some reason my phone's hotspot won't connect to it. It says it is connected but when I go to use the browser or any app that uses the internet it never loads or doesn't work. Sometimes the signal even drops out and reconnects but never actually works. I did some research and it sounds like it might be an IP address conflict but I am not sure how to fix it. Some sites suggest downloading another tether/hotspot app so I tried a few. Some revert back to the original hotspot setting on my phone, which of course did me no good, and some just plain did not work, they did exactly like my original hotspot, connect but won't work. I have pretty much figured out that it has something to do with my phone's hotspot since my tablet works perfectly fine on other people hotspot or wifi internet. Can someone please help me figure out what is going on?! Thanks in advance!
Are you on the stock ROM? Seems to be from your post.
You've tried using the built-in tethering feature, as well as some 3rd party software. Most of the 3rd party programs will create an 'ad-hoc' network which typically only other computers can connect to. There's some threads around here that discuss how to remedy this on stock. Search around.

Yes I'm still on the stock ROM the phone came with. I have tried the built-in and 3rd party apps and neither is working. I'm really not sure to look for. I have tried a few different things including changing the IP address in my phone hotspot settings and nothing works.

I just tried to download the ISWAT Tether Unlocker but I noticed that it is only for rooted devices, I'm not rooted, and I really don't want to root it. Any other suggestions?
A phone w/o root is less than half phone.
BTW you can try foxfy or pdanet, the latter works surely, but at the price of a client installation on the PC side, and is USB/BT only.
I haven't tested the former

I have rooted my phones before but I like this phone the way it is for right now and I just don't want to go through that long process of rooting it.
I have tried Foxfi, it connects but like the others, the browser and app never load, but I can connect to any other wifi or hotspot and they load fine. From what I have heard Foxfi and PDAnet are the same, they even have a combined app. I have done some more research and it looks like maybe my phone or tablet, which ever one, is running adhoc (?) and either one or the other can't use that. Does that sound about right?
PDAnet and foxfi, are two apps sold by the same company, but are all but the same thing.
PDAnet is a 10+ years old program, is older than android, and is an absolutely proven SW, working on multiple platforms either on server and client side.
FoXfi is a relatively new program that manages to work on a great number of devices, but that is not guaranteed to work on any device.
If foxfi doesn't work on PQ, I'm afraid there is nothing you can do w/o rooting the phone.

Install TWRP, it will automatically offer to root the device after booting to recovery and then in recovery restarting to system.
Otherwise follow this guide to install CWM / SuperSU.

Sorry for the late reply. (time zone is our enemy
BTW given arrrghhh already replied, I can only add to avoid confusion to follow the linked thread about CWM, but replacing the CWM part with TWRP.
The latter is more newbie friendly and, will root automatically the phone, and will also block the function that restore the original recovery on the first boot.

Basically you need to install the drivers and get ADB working, before doing anything else
Once you have done that step you can unlock your phone, using the instructions provided on the CWM thread, and in the related motorola website iself.
Then is flashing the TWRP is pretty easy, you just need to start your phone in fastboot mode, connect your phone the the pc, then issue the command
fastboot flash recovery twrp-something.img
(replace the last part with the real name of the file downloaded from the TWRP thread.
then reboot in recovery once (is mandatory to not reboot in system the first time) and when you will exit the recovery environment, it will ask if you want to root your phone.
That's all
This is a quick walk-trough, I hope you can understand that I can't detail every single step more, if and when you have doubts, just google a bit and ask for the definite problem you may have, here.

NEC Terrain Rooting and Flashing Guide

I am starting this thread to be a place for Terrain owners to come for the latest info on how to root and flash their phones. The Terrain is one of the best "rugged" phones on the market, but it has been abandoned by it's manufacturer, leaving owners to find their own solutions to problems and upgrades. This is actually a good thing price wise as you can now buy a brand new Terrain for less then $85. The Terrain has about as of hardware specs as any other ruggedized smartphone on the market currently, but at one third or a 1/4 of the cost. This makes this phone a huge attraction to anyone who is looking for a rugged waterproof phone on a budget and is why this guide is essential for users.
The NEC Terrain still has plenty of life left and this is why we need to come together and find solutions for it. Please feel free to post you success stories in rooting and flashing your terrain to this thread for the benefit of all. Hopefully, will be able to form a complete guide from all the information that get's posted here.
Thanks.

Thanks for the post and the links. It appreas that much of the information on these links are still a work in progress. Hopefully this work will continue and we can create a How To guide from this.
For those that may be interested. You can buy the NEC Terrain Unlock on Amazon for $79.99. Here is the link.

Well, I almost bricked it few days ago. :good:
I read a thread about a patch to unlock GSM in CDMA phones and saw there a code to enter some hidden menu. I entered that menu and messed a little with band settings (wanted to get LTE to work with my operator). Next thing I know Terrain stopped receiving any GSM signal and for next hour I tried to fix it. Factory reset got me 2G signal and that's all.
It turned out that the only way to fully fix it is to re-flash firmware or radio module and as we know that can't be done.
Well, this is not about unlocking or flashing, but it is a solution to another problem I and many other have been having with the predictive text bar blocking critical function keys from being accessed. The predictive txt bar is a function of the Adaptxt keyboard app and disabling it does remove that bar, but the keyboard also loses all special character function, upper case letters and numbers. After trying more then a dozen keyboard apps to replace adaptxt, I found one that works and brings back all keyboard functions without the stupid predictive text bar. It is called TouchPal.

Forgive me for this slight OT-posting, but it's not that easy to find people with this device - let alone an unlocked one. I'm located in Germany and the device runs just fine - except for the fact that Tethering does not work - neither USB nor WIFI. The PC can connect to the phone, however the connection in Windows 7 always is shown as being limited (no internet access), while internet on the phone works fine.
GMail - as well as some other functions of google also rarely sync and basically just do so on request, while they sync just fine when being connected to Wifi. And no, background data are not restricted in the settings.
Has anyone experienced something similar?

Well actually I know that message as well. For me changing the APN helped. You could also try to restart the phone. I just remember I also had this problem sometimes. But like I said - even without that particular message I would not get tethering to work.
iDomino: Do you also experience the problem with syncing that I had?
That's funny, actually I haven't noticed syncing problems untill I read your posts. I myself have all the same problems that you mention.
Even more of that, Terrain has some silly feature that TURNS OFF WI-FI if it thinks that that hotspot has no internet connection. It is massively annoying and can drain all your data traffic. The only solution that I found is to install the app "Smart Wi-Fi Toggler", it constantly turns wi-fi on if terrain turns it off, but only in places where I turned wi-fi on myself (like home and work).
It's a pity the phone has so many flaws and due to its tight security and the locked down NEC mobile devision no one can do anything about it. I wonder if this just affects the users who use an unlocked phone outside the US or if people in the US have similar problems. I have tried contacting NEC about this - actually about providing us with some kind of unlock mechanism - but all I got was this:
"Dear Sir,
Thank you for inquiry.
We, however, regret to inform you that our phone is not available about your request.
If you have any issue, would you try to contact the company or shop where you have purchased this model, who might be of help to you.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Fujii /NEC"
By the way, I discovered a new bug: When Roaming the actually used Network-Provider is not shown and I also didn't find a way to choose one...
Do you also experience the problem with syncing that I had?

Click to collapse
I had some sync problems and I don't know working methods to fix it.
First time I solved it this way:
turning off apps sync -> open Gmail app -> it will show notification offering to enable synchronization -> use it -> sync works.
But this solution worked just once. (
Other time sync turns on by itself after one day disabled.
P.S. My Nec reboots while connecting via USB to ubuntu laptop.
Battery life
Can someone tell me how your Terrains battery hold up charge? Because mine discharges completely in about 10 hours (without using phone at all). I think it's wakelock problem.

Does it crashes once or infinite loop begins? I had infinite loop problem while connecting NEC Terrain to Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Debian or CentOS. Removing "ModemManager" package solved it.

Can someone tell me how your Terrains battery hold up charge? Because mine discharges completely in about 10 hours (without using phone at all). I think it's wakelock problem.

My phone works about 25-30 hours (30 min. calls, 5-10 sms, 30 min. messaging, 2 hours e-mail, internet & other applications. No video/gaming/music at all).
Infinite loop. Removing "modemmanager" helps! Thank you! :laugh:
Also got spontaneous rebooting after installing FTP Client made by Zifero. :silly: Removing app solved the problem.

Another Terrain user here!
Hi guys!
i am Kharl
i am another Nec Terrain user here!
due my lifestyle, i needed a phone which could gives me reliability and power under ANY circunstance, that could be done by any rugged phone, BUT i needed querty keyboard, fm radio, gps, gyroscope, accelerometer, loud speakers, that could work worldwide and touchscreen... the only one with those features was the Terrain... and with the extra, that it is amazingly cool, i dont know opther but i find this phone really cute, very sober and elegant design.
well, i live outside USA so, for me, to work it couldnt be locked to ATT, so i was able to get one unlocked.
my phone has almost all the problems you mentioned, althught i am still happy with it and i am not going to change it because its problems does nto interfere a lot with me, BUT of course id like to get those problems sovled.
trying to solve the problem i bough three of thes phones and all the three had the same problems
the first one was by mistake, locked to att, but it had the same problems, random restart and locked hotspot, i sold it, i got a second one, works with any sim, everything fines, but with the same problem, random restart and no hotspot, i bought a third one to see if the problem was with my particular phone... and n luck the same problems.
it has some other minors problems, like no stereo audio recording despite it has two mics and IT STATES IT CAN record in stereo, but thats not a problem, i can deal with that, and sometimes the people at the other side (while in a call) says my voice sounds like from within a box (lack of trebble or too much bass) and when i press the check too much to the phone boddy there is also clarity sound problem.... but thats ok....
regarding the two main problems
random reboot and hotspot
many of us suspect what the cause is
for the random reboot many could think it is a installe app which is causing it... NO, because it does it at factory state, to solve that i dotn think root is needed, there is a certain factory process that is causin to reboot, the reboot is VERY random, could doit threee times in a day or could happen only three times in a week, what i have notice is that it happe lessoften in cold weather.
the hotspot problem IT IS cause because att locked that function, even when the phone is ulocked, that part remain locked because ATT.
what about you guys?
u can try hard reset for begging
