Hi everyone... I'm not having much luck with this, technology has passed me by. I am NOT looking for tethering nor am I interested in using online fax services.
My old cell phones used to be able to connect to the computer and be used as a dialup modem. Does anyone know how I can get my HTC Sensation 4G (ARHD 6.6.3 XE) to do this so I don't have to scramble for a fax machine outside my house.
I believe the first step would be to find a modem driver (Windows 7) for my HTC device. All the drivers out there seem to be USB drivers...
Thanks

I have been reading this site through out regarding common HTC problems and came across WIFI issue with HTC.
History:
I got this linksys router and i get connected through my laptop(s) quite easily by just entering the passkey (current security is WPA-PERSONAL) also, i have been using e72 before and it uses to get connected flawlessly too.
Currenlty:
I bought this HTC desire (awesome mobile) but i am unable to connect to my home wifi. I tried connecting to another secured network and by just entering the passkey it got connected for experimenting more i tried connecting to hotspot (nexus one froyo) through open connection which worked as well quite easily. It is just my home router which is giving trouble to me on my desire whereas i tried to make it work by changing different settings and even by making it open source but all in vain.
If someone has any idea how i can get it connected to linksys with settings change (any settings which can wrk on HTC) then it will be a big relief for me as this is really not working well for me
I am having the exact same problem and I have the same setup. Our problems are eerily similar. Even I owned an E72 earlier and now the HTC Desire. Pretty sure it is something to do with the Router. I jst upgraded the firmware today to the latest build, but still having the same problem. I think its probably the hardware version of the WRT54G. The version 7 is the only one having an Atheros chip. All others have a broadcom chip.
Try changing the security settings in the router to none. I used to own the 54G router. I upgraded to the E3000. My dad has the evo and we now get wireless n service.
Hi I am new to xda but I have a question that I am sure may have been answered years ago, however I cannot find the answer myself. I have been given a windows mobile pda an old one but its great. Its a HTC TyTN 4500. I have managed to configure it to my 3 UK payg acct however I cannot get it to connect to my wifi home networK through a MSI RG54SE II which I have a pc and laptop connected.... Can anybody help as I have spent days trying. I have also lost the instructions which I found online on how to connect to 3 network internet so I would really not want to do anything derogatory to those settings..
many thanks

Hi ppl,
I am looking for a device which is a UMPC + GSM Phone. The OS required is Windows so that I can sync it to my Office Emails.
I came across a very good device - HTC Shift but unfortunately it does not allow voice calls on GSM network - very disappointed.
Can anyone advice?
I have read threads where ppl have cracked smhw the HTC Shift and are using it as a cell phone. But I ain't familiar with that kinda stuff.
cheers,
HTC Shift had all that I had wanted.. !! Except the cell phone (voice calls through GSM) option ..
You could try the HTC HD2. It is an excellent device which has Windows Mobile (but is capable of much more).
Yep...HD2. Windowns based and works really well.
Hello,
since the last FOTA update from HTC to 1.45.403 (Android 2.3.4) I can no longer connect WLAN devices to the internet via WiFi-Hotspot on my HTC Sensation!
Before that update it worked.
The devices (tried it out with a Samsung TV and the original WiFi-stick connected and a WD multimedia box, both worked flawlessly before) successfully find the Sensation's AP, successfully connect to it and also the DHCP test succeeds.
However no internet connection then works.
Did anyone of you experience the same?
Could it be that this FOTA update sent by HTC now requires some software token to be sent by your mobile operator enabling WiFi tethering, hence defaulting tethering via firmware to "disable"?
Mobile operators do not like tethering, but they cannot detect (and consequently block) it easily - unless (just my speculation, no idea if this is the reason, why it won't work anymore) HTC would change WiFi tethering and internet sharing via 3G to default off on software level.
I have to mention that I have an unbranded HTC Sensation without any operator-specific software and the update did not come from the operator but from HTC.
(Or at least that's what I saw.)
Any advice ?
Thanks in advance.
Correction:
Software version is: 1.45.401.3
Have you tried using different security settings for the WiFi hotspott? Go to settings\wireless & networks\Portable WiFi hotspot settings. You have three settings WEP 128, WAP (TKIP), and WPA2 (AES). Mine is set to WPA2 (AES).
Problem is that it does not even work with security settings switched off
I really feel lost.
Could it be that other apps interfere?
But I'd rather doubt.
If you are using the WiFi Hotspot app that came preinstalled on the sensation from tmobile and you dont have a "Tethering Data Plan" they will eventually figure you out and block the app from working.... I found this out myself and had to go ask the nice lady at the Tmobile store why it happened... and that's why.
I can verify that at a certain point of data usage tmous will cut off wifi tethering. They can tell the data is being shared n want u to pay monthly for the service. Found out from a Friend who is a tmo employee.
Although I'm still tethering free for the time being..

Mine does that too now, any way around it
I could be off on this, I work at TMO and I know the Amaze and GSII shipped with the ''latest'' SIM cards, which we were told had to be used for WiFi calling to work correctly, but oddly enough thats when I noticed tethering quit working on all out demo's
Works flawlessly with CM7 for me.
Actually today and yesterday works just fine for me.... so i dont know why it did the one day but no problems now..... wierd
my branded sensation stopped wifi tethering 2 days ago and i just tried and its is working now... Kinda weird i gurss . . Maybe it was because i used 5.46gb of data this month....?

I have opened a couple of threads with a similar name, but none had the same issue.
My Sensation XE, with original Sense simply won't find my wifi network that I created on my laptop.
I know, pretty common problem. But...
An old SonyEricsson connected to the same network without any problem whatsoever. My old Legend with Cyanogenmod can connect as well. A Desire S with Sense couldn't connect either.
Is it something Sense-related ?
I tried another network (under both W7 and Ubuntu), but it won't connect.
btw, internet pass-trough won't connect either.
Need more information to offer any help. Are you S-off or HTC Dev unlocked? And also what ROM are you running.
I'm not sure if this helps at all, but I think the Wi-Fi hotspot from laptops are some different server type. Like our phones use Ad-Hoc and laptop hotspot uses some different method and some phones can't detect that. I'm not sure thought, just a random thought.
