I would like to use my HTC Cruise as a modem.
So that it is possible that i have the internet on my laptop.
From my mobile.
I know that it is not usual to do this all the time. But for know it not working.
can somebody help me?
I'm french but plug the PDA on your PC with USB cable
And in program you must have a program internet share (I don't know if in english it is the good word)
Launch it and click on connect
I tried to find it,
but when I connect it to my pc with my usb cable. I only get the program to synchronise. Because it's Vista.
How do i find the internetconnection anywhere else?
this program is on the PPC start -> program
On Vista you need Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 that you can download from: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx. It comes in both x64 and x86 flavors.
You also need to run the Internet Sharing application on your phone. On my unbranded HTC Touch Cruise there was no link to that application in Start/Programs. What you have to do, is to go into the Windows folder and run the IntShrUi.exe.
I'm not quite sure, but I think that it automatically creates a link for you in your Programs folder (Windows\Start Menu\Programs\). If it doesn't, you can do that yourself. The link should also be in the windows folder (IntShrUi.lnk) and you can just copy that manually to your Programs folder.
ovidiaconescu, I have an unbranded Cruise as well with the Stock ROM and had that icon in Programs. Don't remember doing anything to get it there.
Internet Sharing app is on the PPC. Here are directions, note that these are from someone else's post in another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337714) I have put them here for convenience:
To set up your device as a USB modem
1. On your device, tap Start > Programs > Internet Sharing.
2. In the PC Connection list, select USB.
3. In the Network Connection list, select the name of the connection that your device uses to connect to the Internet.
4. Plug in the USB cable between your device and the computer.
5. Tap Connect.
To end the Internet connection
On the Internet Sharing screen, tap Disconnect.
To set up your device as a bluetooth modem
1. On your device, turn on Bluetooth and set it to visible mode.
2. Initiate a Bluetooth partnership from your device
3. Tap Start > Programs > Accessories > Internet Sharing.
4. Select Bluetooth PAN as the PC Connection.
5. From the Network Connection list, select the name of the connection that your device uses to connect to the Internet.
6. Tap Connect.
7. On your computer, set up a Bluetooth Personal Area Network (PAN) with your device:
For Windows Vista:
a. Click Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center.
b. Click Manage network connections and then under Personal Area Network, double-click Bluetooth Network Connection.
c. In the Bluetooth Personal Area Network Devices dialog box, select your device, then click Connect.
For Windows XP:
a. Tap Start > Control Panel > Network Connections.
b. Under Personal Area Network, click the Bluetooth Network Connection icon.
c. Under Network Tasks, click View Bluetooth network devices.
d. In the Bluetooth Personal Area Network Devices dialog box, select your device, then click Connect.
8. On the Internet Sharing screen on your device, check if a connected status is displayed, which indicates that your computer has been successfully connected to the Internet using your device as a Bluetooth modem.
Do you think it's possible to do the same kind of thing to access internet with an Archos 605 ??
Hi,
I succeeded to access internet by my WAP connexion mobile on my computer. But some website like gmail or hotmail are not reachable... Does someone have any idea?
So, I'm already getting tired of plugging into the USB every time I want to transfer file. Is there anyway to transfer file without using the hard wire? WLAN or bluetooth or any suggestion are welcome! Please show me how to do it though! (Because I tried and searched but can't figure it out!)
Thanks
The phone supports bluetooth FTP, which allows just what you're looking for, I would type up a description but im sitting on the floor typing on my phone.. so maybe someone else can But in a nutshell, pair the 2 devices, (both must support bluetooth ftp), set up a bluetooth ftp share on the phone thru the bluetooth settings app, connect to the phone over bt.
its notably slower than the usb2.0 transfer though.
bluetooth
beam file thru bluetooth from a laptop or pc. set your phone to discoverable under bluetooth settings and on your bluetooth enabled pc you should be able to right click a file and click on sent to... and bluetooth device should be an option. a new screen will show up where you can search for nearby bluetooth devices and the rest should be self explanatory, the default password should be 0000 unless you changed it. hope this helps. bluetooth is rather slow tho. i usually only use this method for small cab files. i use the usb cable or a sd card reader for bigger files.
Great! I finally figured it out. So I have to enable FTP on this phone. lol
Total Commander has a LAN plugin that'll allow you to access samba shares on other computers. should be much faster than transfers via bluetooth as it's done over wifi.
You can also use Activesync.

I can access shares on my computer without samba or Total Commander. I just use file explorer.
This is really easy-peasy.
All you have to do is connect your phone to your Wi-Fi network, and then go into the File Explorer.
Click Menu > Go To > Open Path > New Path...
In the dialog box, type in the path to the share on your PC (yes you need to share the location on your PC that you want your phone to be able to access), for instance;
\\mypc\sharename
Click OK
Now you will be able to browse the folders on your PC and transfer files to/from it to your heart's content, just like you were looking on your own phone's filesystem.
Happy file transferring! :O)
ur awesome!!!!
Need help
Jim,
I must be a bit thick. I have my network set up for file sharing, but when I followed your instructions, I get a Network Log On screen and I'm not sure what I need to enter. User name... Password.... Domain.... ????? I'm already logged on securely to my WiFi network, so I do not understand what I should be entering here.
Can someone help me out here?
Thanks very much.

Sounds like you need to enter your WINDOWS username/password to log in to your windows pc.
You may also need to create some shared folders on the windows pc if you have not already.
As mentioned, my network is already set up for sharing (among several systems) including specific drives and folders.
I already tried using my Windows username and password, without success, which is why I posted my question.
I'm still clueless.
I'd love to get this to work, but I'm not getting anywhere either.
I do have network shares set up.
I'm connected on wifi.
I go to file explorer->Menu->Open Path->New Path and put in \\Laptopt2310\test which is the computer I want to connect to and a shared folder on that computer.
I get a popup pointing to my wifi indicator saying cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap Settings.
If I tap settings, it takes me to a connection set up where it says Verizon Wireless with some options under and My Work Network with some options under that.
The advanced tab has a box for select networks and I have Verizon Wireless in the Internet box and My Work Network in the private network box.
I don't want to touch anything there and screw things up.
It's almost like it's trying to do it over the phone's data connection and not wifi, but I did a quick speed test and at least the internet browser is definitely using the wifi connection.
Well, I figured out that I could also do this in resco and total commander.
Both of them connect fine on wifi. Not sure why file explorer doesn't, but I guess it doesn't really matter now.
What's the secret?
I also use Resco. Can you explain exactly what you did to make a successful connection?
Those of you still trying to use File Explorer, the username, password and domain should be your Windows username, Windows password and the name of your PC respectively.
If you don't get any joy using the PC name as the domain, or in the path dialogue, you can use the ip address instead - it may be that your network is having problems resolving names to ip addresses.
Trust me, it really does work, I've never had a problem using it at home on a perfectly bog-standard wi-fi network, with the shares on a Vista PC (it also worked with Windows 2000 before that).
Obviously, you have to be sure you're using your Wifi network and not GPRS / HSDPA.
Hope that helps!
Jim,
After some tinkering, I was successful in getting the Fuze on my network. What a great tip! Many, many thanks for sharing this with us.
No problem, happy to help.
I'm sure this is all in the manual somewhere ;O)
I can pair my phone with the computer through bluetooh, but in the bluetooth settings menu when i select my computer I only see 'Wireless Stereo' and 'Headset' as service. Is this because the laptop might not support bluetooth ftp? Its a new Lenovo T400 with built in bluetooth, I figure that should support it?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Don't bother with bluetooth, it's too much hassle, just use the File Manager over Wifi, it's far easier!
But what if I really do want to use bluetooth...?
When I view my bluetooth devices on the laptop I can click properties on my Touch Pro and see the following services: A2DP, Active Sync Bluetooth service, Dial-up networking, Headset audio gateway, Object Push (Obex)
On the phone I go Start->Settings->Connections->Bluetooth and then select my laptop that i'm tethered to and I only see Wireless Steroe, ActiveSync, and headset.
Am I missing drivers on one of the devices? It looks like its possible something wrong on the TP seeing how my vista laptop is listing obex as an option...
Any help is appreciated
This guide teaches you to reverse tether your Android phone via WiFi. That is, it allows you to use your Ethernet connection of PC on your Android phone. It is useful for those who do not have WiFi routers and data connection. So if you have unlimited data plan for your computer, why not share the connection with your phone?
I am not the developer of the files supplied
Requirements:-
1.Rooted Phone
2.Wifi enabled Laptop or PC
3.Root explorer or any other application which gives system access
4.File in the attachement
Procedure :-
Phone:
Download Wpa_supplicant.zip and extract "wpa_supplicant" from it, save it on your SD card.
Open Root Explorer, and grant it superuser access when asked for.
Navigate to system -> bin and long press on wpa_supplicant; Select copy, and paste the file into any folder on your SD card.
Now navigate to the file you downloaded, copy it in same way, and paste it back to system -> bin. Note, you might need to mount the system as R/W instead of R/O by pressing a button on the top just before pasting the file.
Reboot.
▬▬Ubuntu (Must work for other Linux Distros too)▬▬:
Open Network Connections
Goto Wireless tab, select add, and set the following:
SSID:
Mode: Ad hoc
Leave other things unchanged, and go to Ipv4 settings tab
Set method to Shared to other computers
Go to Wireless security tab and set Security to WEP 40/128 bit key and set key to a numeric password (or hexadecimal one).
Check the connect automatically box on top of the tabs and press Save.
Your Android phone must now detect this network, and you can establish the connection by using your security key.
▬▬Windows XP, Vista, 7▬▬
Download and Install Connectify from www . connectify.me/download-lite/
Start Connectify Hotspot by giving a name and password to your hotspot and selecting the Ethernet connection to share. Make sure the security type is WEP or Open.
Disable your firewall (Simply adding it to exceptions doesn't work for AVG at least)
Now your phone should be able to see the hotspot and establish the connection using the password set.
Known Issues :
1.Random disconnections (Very less frequency)
2.Disconnections due to screen lock / sleep on laptop
3.For me Security mode does not works
HIT THANKS IF IT WORKED
ENJOY

ok.
if there are still issues tell me.
PS switch on WIFI on ur phone and scan for available networks....you ll get your hotspot name created in step 4.

THANKS TO imetal1
Transfer files via an Ad Hoc WiFi Network. Although 'Airdroid' , '3CX DroidDesktop 2' and other WiFi file transfer Apps require a routed connection to function, this method is akin to 'Wifi Direct' in that the device creates the network, the PC connects to that network, the device then 'serves' it's contents and the PC accesses those contents via a web browser.
Apps Needed
Fast File Transfer (Free)
X-plore (Free)
Step 1 - Establish an Ad Hoc Network Connection
1 - Open X-plore, select a file, select share, then select 'Fast File Transfer'.
2 - Configure a network name (SSID) + password for the Ad Hoc Network 'Fast File Transfer' creates.
Step 2 - Create a Bi-directional connection between your Android Device & PC
1 - Connect PC to the newly created network.
2 - Open X-plore and select 'Start Wi-Fi file sharing' to activate file transfer capabilities.
3 - Open a web browser and input the phone's location info provided by X-plore.
*NOTE: DO NOT ENGAGE 'FAST FILE TRANSFER' (with a probable location of 192.168.43.1:8080) BECAUSE THIS WILL CLOSE THE AD HOC NETWORK!!!!
Step 3 - Close the Connection + Disable the Ad Hoc Network
1 - Open X-plore and 'Stop' WiFi File Sharing.
2 - Exit 'Fast File Transfer' to terminate the 'Ad Hoc' network.
*'Fast File Transfer' retains Ad Hoc network configuration, no need to configure each time.
* This Ad Hoc network works for RDP as well. I use 'Jump Pro'. It's processor and RAM intensive, but works. I'm assuming there aren't any inherent limitations to the Ad Hoc network 'Fast File Transfer' creates, but I haven't gotten a VNC app to work. Worth a try.
* X-plore limits some file transfer capabilities without paid app (e.g. direct SDcard file transfer). This is frustrating, but the developer wants to drive some revenue; And for all it's functionality, the App is well worth it.
*This is not a WiFi Tethering with file transfer solution. Connecting to the Ad Hoc network DISABLES INTERNET. This is like connecting your device via a cable. It's also much more secure because your files do not pass though a router (thereby the internet) but directly from your PC and device (& vice versa).

Hi, I was interesting in this matter. Transfer big files between HTC One and PC.
But I have a problem with the fast file transfer,when I share a file the program shows this message:
NOT COMPATIBLE. It seems like your device does not have a valid WiFi Tethering ...
WTF??

Frustrating, I know.
I found and documented this hack before I had cell service. Once I activated my phone with Metro PCS they broke the function because I didn't get 'Tethering' as a paid option. They remotely disabled all built in Android tethering capabilities. Your carrier might block native Android tethering as well.
I haven't found a solution for this carrier violation yet. To reinstate the function would assuredly include low level coding, up to and including flashing the ROM. I only root my phone and don't flash the ROM because I don't think using CyanogenMod or another Mod is much better than my customized rooted stock Android, especially after 4.0 (ICS).
I can suggest using the AirDroid option for now. I'll look for another solution in the mean time. (At this point I just remove my sd card and transfer files that way. I know the HTC One doesn't have an sd card slot so this isn't an option for you. I'll do my best to find something)
when i reached step 2-2, i couldn't start Airdroid (as it needs internet connection) and Fast File Transfer had been already turned the connection off for tethering.....
any one have an idea!!!
it works dude. thanks.
Direct connection between phone and pc
Your method does work but i found 3CX DroidDesktop works much better and faster. Hope it helps.
