Hi..I receivexc my pro about 2 weeks ago and i am very new to this forum. So far I can report good performance of the device..although a bid sluggish sometimes with HSPDA . The keyboard is great even with my big fingers.
Can anybody help me as to how do I connect via BT with my laptop..sort of step by step guide (settings ),my uk network is o2 and desperate to use it as a modem . Thanks
I would get wmwifirouter.

I use it all the time. Your phone comes up as a wireless network that your laptop can connect to. Very simple to use. Never liked bluetooth (apart from headphones). Always seems to be a nightmare.
if you just google htc internet sharing you will find it
ive used it on my 8525 i just forget the setup and its better with usb usually anyway
Use Icscontrol
It's free and works like a charm
I moved to a new apt about a month ago and have a great 4g signal (sprint is my carrier). For the first three weeks the 4g worked great. Now I will be connected to the 4g signal and streaming a video, playing a game, or doing school work and the connection will just cut out. I will still be connected to the 4g signal and have full bars but have no data connection. I connect to the internet with pdanet or wireless tether (I have tried to use my phone's browser as well when this happens and it also does not have data so I know this is not a pdanet or wireless tether issue). I can turn off the 4g and reconnect with 3g service. I will then turn on 4g again and it will take a good 5 to 10 min before it will reconnect and the process starts over again. I generally can get between 5 and 30 min of connection with 4g before it flakes out.
I could not find this issue on these forums anywhere and have enjoyed reading threads on here, but cannot find this issue posted anywhere so far.
What I have done so far:
1.Restore
2.Reset (installed Azrael's rom with Netarchy's kernel in place of stock sense with unrevoked I had before)
3.Updated prl
4.Updated profile
5.Changed the Wimax sleep mode setting from 10 seconds to 300 seconds. I have not had a chance to test this but do not see this helping considering when it cuts out I am generally in the middle of something so there would be no chance for the connection to time out.
6.Contacted Sprint multiple times and been transfered around and got a confirmation number on a ticket for them to check the 4g signal (still a possibility it is on their end, just want to make sure its nothing on my end)
Are there any other settings or things I can try on my end to verify that it is either on my end or sprints end? I really would like to get this working, it is my primary source of internet and I need it for online classes. I have rooted my phone and do have my msl number so if there are any tweaks I can do with these please let me know.
On a final note thank you to everyone who contributes to these forums. This is one of my first posts here but I have been a regular reader since I got my Evo. I am a huge fan of all the work that the devs and posters put into this site. This is a great resource and I am very grateful for any responses that anyone can provide for me.
P.S. I hope this is the right forum for this topic, if it is not please let me know and I will move it asap!
I apologize for posting in the wrong forum. I have moved to the Evo page. Any dev please delete this post. The new post is at

Again sorry about this, I am brand new to the site.
From the posts that have read 4g problems almost always are Kernel related... Especially Bfs kernels.
Have you tried any other kernel and duplicated the failure?
Net's 4.3.2 cfs kernels work great with my 004 hardware EVO running MikFroYo 4.4 (IMO the absolute best Rom choice for your EVO)

Hi Everyone.
I am not a developer nor really tech savy, but I do know how to adjust a few things. Anyways, I just got my Infuse 4G, loving it so far except at my home. I have really fast internet connection and my router is new and is Cisco. My laptop, desktop and tablet all work really well. My infuse though will connect and tells me that it has a really strong wifi connection, but I can't open anything for **** such as a browser or market app. It works fine at work and at any att wifi hot spots.
Can anyone advice me on this? Sometimes though, it works fine but about 85 % of the time at home, I can't open any internet connection although it says that I am connected to wifi.
I am about 5 days close to returning this if this problem can't be resolved.
Any help will be really and greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Probably your router. If it's Linksys-branded Cisco of the "saucer" form factor - find something better. Linksys-branded Cisco hardware sucks these days.
I suggest finding a router that is supported by DD-WRT - I have always been disappointed when running routers with closed-source factory firmware.

I would think that if it works well at work and att hot spots that this would point to ot being an issue with the home router.
Have you tried resetting the router?

resetting meaning turning it off and wait for a few minutes and turning it back on?
No, but if that was the case, my other devices shouldn't work neither no?

Some routers are buggy and don't play well with some devices.
90% of the time it's the router's fault.
The Problem: WiFi disconnects every time i am barely downloading anything or just watching youtube, and re connects, and so on.
WiFi Modem: Zyxel P-2812HNU-F3
Ever since i bought Galaxy Nexus back in December 2011, I have had WiFi issues 24/7. I thought it was a hardware problem, but then i went to my friends house and tried his WiFi and it worked great. He had a linksys modem while I had Zyxel. Back then i honestly didnt think that the Zyxel modem could be the problem. Thats because i had Galaxy S 2 before Nexus and that phone worked great. But SGS2 was on 2.3. So i thought that Google ****ed up when they released ICS. I still do, for some of us. If you have the time, please look at this thread in Galaxy Nexus forum, where we discussed the problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386884
Long story short, i tried changing lot of things in router but nothing worked. When 4.1 was available for my Nexus, i downloaded it without even thinking that there might be a WiFi fix because i had given up on WiFi. I used 3g until 4.1 was out. Anyways, a few days after i had installed 4.1 i turned on WiFi and run a test in Speedtest app. Speed was great. But the thing i worried about was WiFi being disconnected. So i tried downloading a gameloft game and no diconnect. The whole game downloaded fine. But after a few hours later i noticed after downloading some movies it sometime disconnected and reconnected. I was mad at google again. But JB was much, MUCH better then ICS. Atleast i can use my WiFi now. Sometimes it works, other times it wont.
Yesterday i got my Transformer Infinity. This device is on 4.0.3. The first thing i did when setting up device, was downloading speedtest. I ran it, and it had the same problem that ICS on my Nexus had. I began to search again why this happens in ICS. I downloaded WiFiFix manager but that didnt help at all. Many other zips and apps didnt help either. So... Today, or tonight i opened up router page and started changing wpa2 to wps, like i did months ago for Nexus. But nothing helped. Then i wanted to try omething i havent done before, so i changed 802.11b/g/n to g only. Now WiFi works greta on my Infinity and Nexus. No disconnects at all! (lol i so hope that this is a permanently fix)
I dont know how that will effect my other devices, mostly PCs. So is this a Zyxel issue or Android? WiFi with n works normal with my PCs and other android devices. This must be because of 4.0+, right? I dont think its a hardware issue at all because my Infinity behaves same way.
Should i stay on 802.11g or is there something i can do to fix my devices to work with 802.11n?
Or is there a way i can enable 802.11g for Infinity and Nexus only, and use 802.11n for the rest?
Hi,
This is a weird Internet problem so I think this is the best place for this.
I have a 1Mbps broadband connection with a Modem+Router.
Now I get download speeds upto 120-130KBps on my PC (connected via LAN), my laptop (via Wifi) and my phone, the Galaxy S2 I9100 (via Wifi again) and my sister's Galaxy S3.
I get smooth surfing speeds with normal loading pages on my PC & Lappy.
The problem is that surfing speed on my and my sister's phone is extremely slow. Be it the Facebook app, Tapatalk app, normal pages in the Stock Browser, Opera Mini, anything.
Everything is slow as a snail.
No background downloads, cloud backups or any network hogging resources run in the background.
Both phones are stock, unrooted, untouched, JB 4.1.2, so no ROM troubles.
Does anyone have an idea as to what the problem might be?
Because it is really weird that download speeds are fine but surfing speeds suck so bad.
Also, if it might help, 3G works excellent on both devices.
And recently I factory resetted/formatted my phone, the S2.

Maybe your wireless connection is slow. Is there any downloading in background? Try disconnect one of your connected devices

That is a very slow connection.
But you need to troubleshoot it by first: make sure that you have a secure connection between your router and your devices.
So make sure your router is running wpa or wpa2 with a good key.
Next: you should disconnect each device and test network speeds to determine which device is the one causing the issue.
Then if that does nothing you should make sure that you are not too far from your router.
Because that would cause it to drop packets and slow down the transfer speed.
It might seem slow as per worldwide standards, but it actually is good enough to watch YouTube videos at 360p without buffering
Also this is a recent problem and before this everything worked absolutely well.
The security is set as WPA/WPA2.
I've tried sitting next to the router, doesn't make a difference.
I'll check connecting each device one at a time though.

the internet browsing speed varies as per the connectivity over wifi... if ur signal level is poor the speed will be much slower than u connection speed.. so check ur wifi range ....

Well I tried the individual connection as well. And the problem persists on both the S2 & S3.
The laptop works just fine. But the surfing on the phones is really bad! While surprisingly downloading or buffering a video is fine.
This is so weird!
I open the Youtube app and it opens slow as hell, loads thumbnails in years then I click a video it takes more time to load but then plays without a hiccup on HQ..

Next up is to try a different router or a neighbor's setup to determine if there is an issue with the antenna (or software) between your router and phones.

This will take some time since finding another router is tough around here.
I'll try to find another wifi to connect to.
If I make a wifi hotspot on the S3 and connect my S2 to it, will it be a suitable way to test?

yep.
If it works fine then the router is the issue. (Ping tests)
If it doesn't work fine then you need another router to test.

Wifi is weird(it always has been) on all the samsung roms.
Like a user once reported that he sees constant transfer on his phone at his home network but not at work and he even used droidwall to block all connections.
I don't know about that. This problem has occurred only once before and lasted 2-4 days, then automatically resolved. This time it's been almost a week.
Apart from these 10 or so days, I have never had an issue with Wifi.
Also I tried browsing on a wifi hotspot by making S3 a hotspot and using on S2 and vice versa, both worked great.
So it's definitely some issue with the router. But I cannot call someone to replace it because my laptop works just perfect on it's wifi!
So maybe some settings have been altered or messed with?
I can get you some screenshots of the modem interface page that my network provider gives.
This solved my problem.
Linking so that someone else with this annoyingly stupid problem can find a solution too!
