This makes your TILT/Kaiser into a wi fi router!
Hello I got this information from
XDA - I just changed some info to make it work for the TILT/Kaiser , also couldn’t get the screenshots in my post sorry, didn’t know how to..just check out the link and use the following date :
**** You have to change the registry value for the TILT, use TNETW12511, on the website above they give the values for different wm6 phones, for the tilt/kaiser use the value i gave and as follows...You can just read the steps on the website above but Use the value i have stated - TNETW12511
Do the following:
1) Open Settings->Internet Sharing. Enable IS for Bluetooth PAN. (Remember this is Internet connection sharing ( IntShrUI.exe which is found in /windows directory)
2) Change HKLM\Comm\ConnectionSharing\PrivateInterface to "TNETW12511" (it should currently be "BTPAN1" .
3) Open Settings-> Connections -> Wi-Fi. Select Network Adapters tab. Click IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi.
4) Enter IP address 192.168.1.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Click OK.
5) Select Wireless tab. Add New.. to add the Network name for your ad-hoc network (I prefer "adhoc"
6) Set the client computer to use the same ad-hoc network***. Client will receive an IP address from the device (don't need to manually set the IP).
And it works!
*** Edit Just learned that in step one you can choose USB but you still have to change the reg edit to TNETW12511 manually or by the file attaches. Selecting usb saves battery by keeping bluetooth off and just uses wifi. But if you select usb you cannot connect your computer for activesync
I copied what was on the xda website below but the pics did now show, sorry.-
Another long-awaited breakthrough: dial-up Internet Sharing over Wi-Fi!
Anyone having read my tutorial on the new Internet Sharing utility in Windows Mobile 5 AKU3 and later versions (including, of course, WM6) knows that it’s not possible to use a Windows Mobile device as a GPRS / EDGE / UMTS / HSDPA etc. cellular modem via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth DUN or, with some exceptions, even infrared, “only” over BT PAN and USB. This means a lot of devices can’t connect to the Net if they don’t support either BT PAN (or USB with desktop Windows operating systems). While the BT DUN hack published some months ago certainly helped the situation (allowing for connections via the far more widely supported, “traditional” Bluetooth DUN), it still didn’t let for using the Windows Mobile Phone Edition (“Professional” in WM6 parlance) device as a modem with clients connecting via Wi-Fi.
XDA-Developers hacker fluxist has just published a tutorial on his latest finding, which, at last, allows for accessing the Net using a Windows Mobile device via Wi-Fi.
The results are as follows:
1. Start Programs / Internet Sharing. (Remember this is Internet connection sharing ( IntShrUI.exe which is found in /windows directory) Enable the sharing for Bluetooth PAN (NOT USB!) using Connect (left softkey). If you’re prompted for enabling Bluetooth visibility, close the dialog box as usual by pressing OK.
2. Start editing the Registry with a registry editor and change HKLM\Comm\ ConnectionSharing\ PrivateInterface (which is, by default, "BTPAN1" to the internal name of your Wi-Fi adapter. It’s "TNETW12511" with the TILT *** read below about attached .reg file
Note that I’ve made one registry import file available (see attached), should you want to be able to quickly change the Registry values, without the need for manually editing the Registry every time you start the Internet Sharing applet. To make your life easier, just put it in the file system of your Pocket PC and click it after starting and connecting Internet Sharing so that it’s automatically imported. Should you need a RegEdit 5-compliant Registry Editor for your handheld, I recommend Resco File Explorer .
3. Go to Settings / Connections / Wi-Fi and select the Network Adapters tab (it’s the default and only visible one when the Wi-Fi unit is disabled). Click the name of the Wi-Fi card (“IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi” on the HTC Tilt. ) Enable “Use specific IP address” and enter the IP address 192.168.1.1 into the first field (“IP address”). When you click the second row (“Subnet mask”), it’ll auto-fill 255.255.255.0. Just keep it at that. This is shown in the following screenshot:
4. From now on, you go on as with adding a p2p network (see THIS for my earlier article if interested – reading it is not needed for completing this tutorial): click “Add new…” on the Wireless tab:
Enter a network name (it can be anything; in here, it’s “WRadhoc”) and make sure you check in “This is a device-to-device (ad-hoc) connection”:***
After clicking Next, you can set up whether you need encryption or not. If not, just set “Data encryption” to “Disabled” as can be seen in the following screenshot:
Note that you can use both WPA and WEP for encryption. I don’t discuss setting this up as only one client will be able to connect to your Windows Mobile device at a time – while it’s connected, there surely won’t be other clients connected to it. And, after you’ve ended your Net session, when you close Internet Sharing and/or disable Wi-Fi, no one will be able to connect any more either. That is, it's MUCH safer than traditional access points without any kind of encryption.
Finally, in the list of the available connections, tap-and-hold the just added network and select “Connect” from the context menu
*** Edit Just learned that in step one you can choose USB but you still have to change the reg edit to TNETW12511 manually or by the file attaches. Selecting usb saves battery by keeping bluetooth off and just uses wifi. But if you select usb you cannot connect your computer for activesync
Not to be a debbie downer, but to technically use tethering on say an AT&T contract you are supposed to have an additional service added on to your account, correct? If you do not you could potentially be charged per each kilobyte. Any idea if they can (or do) detect you are using your laptop/desktop and not the phone itself?
they have no possible way to tell weather you are using the right plan to teather.. yet....
i havent heard of anyone who got caught yet, at least not on the forum..
ATT does say that people do get caught though... lol.. i believe it to be a lie.
the only way they can tell is by physically looking at you bill and usage. Lucily att is to bueracratic to do that, but they could if they wanted to

@ StevenSZ: Go back to Hofo! If anyone has read there lately it seems like half the threads are the media plan police. And who said anyone on XDA would "steal" from ATT anyway, are you saying XDA people lack morals.
On the real topic: that is cool but how slow is it as that seems to be a complaint in that original thread. Anyway for me the Internet Sharing Wizard with USB or BT works great so I dont care about sharing GSM through Wifi.
You are my new best freind. Now if you could get this to work for the hermes.........

No idea what Hofo is but you need to step away from the keyboard for a few minutes and relax. I've read through a lot of the threads and I have not seen much talk relating back to something that can be considered plan policing, so I definitely think your numbers are way off. I asked a question and didn't suggest anything in my post, but I will say that I am 100% positive that a percentage on here will do it without the appropriate plan.
Now is your last statement a question? They usually end with question marks. Anyway, I didn't mention stealing did I? I am trying to make sure that if there is detection that people might be aware they could be charge for the KB they used... it's doing people a favor (some people might not even realize tethering is additional.. you know?). Judging by the number of threads here with cracked software (that means illegal - is that moral?) I would certainly say 100% there are people that might fit your description. Anyway, I appreciate the other reply above that actually went towards helping/answering my question and not just wasting time. Thanks. ;-)
Got it working on my tilt this evening.. very nice! I do wish there was a way to add a WEP key along with it for security, i dont want someone stealing my bandwidth!
Also it appears the network adaptor shuts off the wireless connection when the device goes to sleep.. any way to stop this from happening??
You can add security, after you pick your network name click next then do Authentication: open Encryption:wep or whatever and type in a key. YES it does stop when the phone sleeps. I have no idea why but I also want to know how to get this to stop.

I would highly recommend doing this too. While abuse is not very prevalent, it is a pretty big security hole to leave your laptop or PDA/phone-device in an open ad-hoc mode. The little inconvenience will be worth it. Also, try clear it out of your laptop when you are finished as Windows has a tendency to keep trying to broadcast itself as an ad-hoc network even when you are done.
Keep wifi from disconnecting
This will edit the registry as well as keep the connection alive! this should also fix your dropouts. I'm new here so I don't know how to upload anything so I can't upload the script but basically here are the instructions.
Download and install MortScript
here's a more direct link http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?mo...=view&entry=65
http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=1448
(if the link doesn't work goto www.pocketpcfreeware.com and search for mortscript)
copy paste this script to notepad and save as KeepSharing.mscr (notice the extention this lets mortscript recognise as a script):
RegWriteString "HKLM", "\Comm\ConnectionSharing", "PrivateInterface", "TIACXWLN1"
While ( wndExists( "Internet Sharing" ))
If regKeyEqualsDWord "HKLM", "\Comm\InternetSharing\Status", "Enabled", 0
SendLeftSoft ( "Internet Sharing" )
EndIf
EndWhile
transfer to ppc phone.
steps to use it:
turn off wifi
click on internet sharing
(you can use either usb or bluetooth doesn't matter which)
click on connect
this will establish data connection
run the script by clicking on the script file
(this will edit the registry once then it sends connects by sending left softkey whenever it detects a disconnect)
now turn on wifi
(if this is not done last the connected clients won't connect properly to the internet)
end of steps enjoy! *by the way, if you copy any script directly to the start menu it gets treated as a program which you can map to a button or to an app launcher
SCRIPT IS ALSO ATTACHED with program

Thanks I will check into this tomorrow as its a little late here... I will also look into the encryption settings as well.
I've followed the instructions verbatim, but my new adhoc network on my phone just shows "connecting" forever, and never actually connects. Any advice?
Thanks.
its going to say connecting until you connect to your phone from your computer....SO lets say you named ur adhoc network "tilt wifi", from your computer search for wireless networks and connect to "tilt wifi"..and it will now say connected on your phone and now your phone is a wireless router
New Script that starts ICS and does the wifi reg edit when you start it.
Hey everyone, this is a new script that will start ICS and do the reg edit automatically when you start it. Then just start wifi and connect to the network you make on your phone...This basically saves you one step as it starts ics and does a reg edit in one.
- ( you still have to keep this changed tho - Open Settings-> Connections -> Wi-Fi. Select Network Adapters tab. Click IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi.
4) Enter IP address 192.168.1.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Click OK. )
so.. can somewone be cool and nice enough to make this script into a program?
We have a wifi program now for the TILT!!

Fantastic programme!
First post on this forum.
Just a few queries:
I can happily browse over wifi from my laptop and N95
But I can't manage to connect an iphone or ipod touch. It is possible that these devices do not allow browsing over an ad hoc connection-any way round this?
The connection drains the kaiser battery very quickly-I'll try adjusting the Kaisers power settings.
The USB connection did work for browsing but now does not. Even when the wifi programme is not running. When the Kaiser is short of batteries I have tried connecting via USB to charge the phone but this knocks off the wifi connection but still the USB networking connection does not work.
Otherwise nice piece of work. Thank you.
Please also make sure you post a link to your thread to the original thread so that all non-XDA-Dev users also find this thread (I've linked to the original thread from several of my articles also cross-posted to other boards and mags)

This way to connect to wifi worked for me too.
However I would like to know what advantage you get in connecting to internet using this approach wrt connecting thorugh bluethooth or USB.
Hi there,
I have an AT&T tile that I did a CID unlock on and installed the shipped HTC ROM on.
I've installed iGuidance 4 and when I try to open it, it doesn't open.
If I remove the memory card with the maps on it, it will start and say there is no map files.
Anyone see something similar?

Looks like I need to be outside... odd, figured the program would open without a GPS signal.

It will open without a GPS signal. It doesn't actually acquire the gps signal UNTIL you open the program.
You can to kill the data connection first (I use the Comm Manager. If I don't kill the data connection the program takes a good couple minutes to open. If I kill the data connection first, it will open in 2-3 seconds.
ah that was probably the issue.

Question -- I have TomTom on my Tilt ... it installs fine, and works fine ... however each time I start it up the sound is turned off .. .and I have to touch the screen, turn on the sound twice before the change in settings "sticks" and I get the voice giving me directions.
Any thoughts how I can fix this?
Mine does the exact same thing, otherwise it works perfectly. Running XDA Live 1.1 ROM...
That is the default function. You must always activate the sound after starting.

hate to tell you guys, but it's not the default. The sound is on when I fire up Tom Tom on my Tilt, I've never had any issue nor had to go into settings to turn it on before. Are you guys using a ROM other then the original one?
Default off on both my HK Kaiser & my AT&T Tilt. Don't know what to tell you.
Solution that works for me!
I have found that all I have to do is to rotate the volume wheel on the side of my Tilt and the sound gets turned on without having to go through the preferences menu. It will repeat the last direction when you do this but it doesn't bother me too much and it lets me know that the sound is enabled.
The same issues occur with the previous version 6.03
And on other PPCs as well (eg IPAQ hw6910).
But it does not happen always, so I deduce it's related to conflicts with other softwares.
And it certainly isn't a feature, as a previous poster suggested.
TT as a default always starts with sound ON.

I didn't have this problem until about 30 minutes ago, I received the Carcomm Cradle I ordered for the car, installed it, tried out TomTom and now I have the same problem as you.
Are any of you using a Carcomm Cradle?
The only other thing I changed before the sound problem is I bought a "Veripart 3-in-1 Converter HTC ExtUSB" so I can charge the PDA and listen to music using the 3,5 mm jack port.
I also have exactly the same problem, and solve it with the volume wheel. I also had this problem on my Hermes.
TomTom 'fixes'
FWIW, not sure why, but the volume wheel never solves my problem in a predictable fashion, so I've went and found the following apps that make things easier:
TomTom Menu Builder -- Change the location of where the 'Turn on sound' or any button shows up in the menu for faster access. e.g., I've placed my 'Turn on sound' button on page 1 with 'Navigate to' and 'exit application'. The menu also allows you to enable all sorts of 'hidden' menus, with the most useful being the voice preferences menu, which lets you choose how verbose the speaker is. Alternatively, if you're not up to installing the menu builder, you could download my TomTom menu (see attached). Either way, place TomTom.mnu in \TomTom\SdkRegistry.
TomTom Starter -- Make your phone volume max and turn off all notification popups before starting TomTom. Reverses volume and notification changes after exiting TomTom. Great for when you forget that your phone is on vibrate or at a low sound setting.
BTW, its not the ROM that is the problem, it most likely has to do with TomTom. I'm using 6.03, non-taster edition.
The sound will be muted when you start TomTom with a data connection active. If you disconnect your data connection (G, 3G or H) before starting TomTom the sound should be on.....

Thanks michi123, I seem to recall reading about this in another thread. However, that's still yet another application (comm manager) and button I need to press before starting TomTom.
It's much easier for me to use the two applications I've included, as I'll need to go into the menu anyway to enter my navigation point and should I forget to turn off vibrate or crank up my volume, TomTomStarter fixes that for me...

Excellent! That works. And unless you have changed the functionality of your end button (like in the xda ROM) it is pretty quick to hold down the red end button (to close all data connections) before opening TomTom.
But it's not very effective when you're using a converged device, right?
I mean, would you turn off your phone every time you'd want to load TT, and then have to remember to turn it back on (while still inside TT)?

All holding down the end key does is cancel all active data connections .. it does not "turn off" the phone (unless you happen to be on a call). So yes, if you want to tun TT when you are on the phone, this solution will not work, but if you want to run TT when you are not actively speaking, holding down the end key first solves the sound problem. Then, you can still make and receive calls and, for that matter, you can still use data programs too, all with TT running.
Very useful thread, I've just updated mine and my G/Fs TyTns, we both have exactly the same ROM and RADIO, hers starts with Volume on, Mine starts with Volume off, the only real difference is that we're on different service providers, we both have MS ActiveSync running against our different corporate Exchange servers, and I have reduced my connectivity to GPRS to save battery. Will give the Tweaker app a go and see what happens. Sh
Alex. What version of tomtom are you running. I cannot get the menu file to work with my version 6.032(8351) no taster version.
Hi guys,
I just wanted to post on here cos I noticed some information that I didn’t agree with and also I have tested what others have said and it works so I thought I would say thankyou in one breath and bugger in another.
I have tested TomTom 6.031 SDK version on a HTC TyTN2, Glofiish, HP614c, HTC p3300 and a HTC Cruise and all of them start TomTom with the sound muted if they have a data connection active!
Sound is not muted at start-up if there is no data connection. This is great to know as I was baffled by it all but it also causes me a pain in that I need the data connection all the time, so I think its a mistake if TomTom themselves presume otherwise.
I have a XDA Orbit 2 on order but I am guessing it will be the same with that. I dont remember this issue with Windows Mobile 5, but it happens for sure on 6.
Also I have an issue with the 6.031 SDK and the unmute function call doesn’t appear to work!
Ho hum... so many devices with the same issue....
Ram
I have to admit I made a slight error in my statement above, I hadn’t tried it on the HTC p3300 and got the same result, it would appear that the HTC p3300 is the only device out of the many I have tried that doesn’t switch to silent when loading TomTom while a data connection is active.
I am trying to work out why this is as I am running the same software installation on all the devices.
I'm considering a GPS for the Tilt and am looking for some recommendations on what programs work well for some of you. However, I do not want one that uses ATT data since I'm wifi only have no use for the ATT data plan. On a side note I keep getting a message saying the current GPS software on the phone is out of date. This is the GPS software that came with the phone. How do I disable this and or remove the program to stop this annoying message. I unchecked tell me when software is out of date but I still get those damn messages.
The notification is from QuickGPS, which caches a small database of satellite position/orbit info to facilitate faster GPS fixes. Just run it and let it download the updated data.
Since you don't want a data plan, your only option is to pony up the money and buy something like TomTom or Garmin or another commercial, standalone navigation map.
Anything free like Google Maps or Live Search needs a data connection to push the map data, so unless you have your own mobile satellite wifi hotspot with you, you need one of the standalone commercial apps.

I think that you are advising him to:
1. connect to the internet and
2. download data
He has specifically said that he does not have a data plan - this means that every week (when the data goes out of date) he will pay a siginificant sum to get this data.
I agree that he will need to get TomTom (my recommendation) or some other simlar program. But without a data plan he should not download the Quick GPS data in my opinion.
Bill
Thanks for the info. I figured I'd need something along the lines of tom Tom. Is there a monthly fee on something like Tom Tom? How is it installed? Cab file? Is there any way to completely kill that Quick GPS. As I said I told it not to inform me when it's out of date but it still does. This is getting to be annoying.

Tomtom (and the purchased NAV programs that do not use internet data) have no monthly fee (you will however have to pay to update your maps - probably yearly)
I do not know how to turn off that notification - possibly look at add/remove programs and remove quickGPS?

So, your saying he cannot connect to the internet with wifi and downlad a simple little file?? Turn off auto updates in QuickGPS and just update it manually once a week when on wifi - what's so hard about that?

Start QuickGPS, then menu -> options and uncheck the option to autoupdate.
TomTom can be installed just like any other application, with a cab file. But the Maps are usually huge which can be loaded onto a Storage card. There is no monthly fee or data requirements but the initial price maybe expensive. (Not quite sure on the last line )
Regards,
Carty..
even still he is going to need a data plan or it is going to take him dumb long to get a fix with out quick gps. Unless he uses his wifi every 6 days.
Don't know about anyone else but im in the habit of leaving my Kaiser connected to my main PC when im not using it so it's always synced and quickgps just downloads the data then.
On a note about which GPS software to recommend, i'd go for IGO8 over TomTom.
To me it just seems a lot slicker even over TomTom 7.
Of course it doesn't come with things like Mapshare (which I can't get working yet for TomTom 7 even after reading the threads) and i've yet to work out how to download TomTom POI's from pocketgpsworld and convert them for IGO8 but I love tinkering with it and finding out how to do things.
Igo is just for the UK right?

In options, if you turn off auto-update and the reminder the data has expired, that should do it.
If he does like cotc2001 does and has it hooked up to a PC regularly, then leave the auto-download via Actice Sync checked to get regular updates when connected.
Tom Tom 6 and Google Maps Combination
If you're a newcomer or person who gravitate towards stability or functionality like me, you're better off with Tom Tom V6. It's extremely user friendly and very stable in most, if not all, cooked roms. Most other GPS softwares are not as functional, require tweaks and tricks to make it work, clash with other installed apps (ie HTC Home, etc). IGO 8, to me, is eye candy (similar to the eye-phone, lol), and a severe memory hog to the point it'll make your device reboot. The time it takes most people to get most GPS apps working correctly on their device might as well cook up several Diamond or Kaiser roms, lol, for that matter. Tom Tom V7 (I read) is good, but it's still relatively new and require tweaks as well. When it comes to GPS, it is, in my humble opinion, that a GPS app/software (PDA/PNA) should be stable, functional, user friendly, and more importantly it's RELIABLE. Believe that!!!.
If you want simple, clear cut, easy to read directions with/without voice, and stability ... Tom Tom 6 is the way to go and require no tweaking or editing of any kind like the others. I would also recommend the latest version Google Maps (require data plan) as well. It's a good combo and they compliment each other nicely.

All the items in this path are unchecked. I'm still getting those stupid messages when I've told it not to notify me when updates are required.

AHHHH!!!! WIFI - sure - should work with no problem - if I were him though I would make sure that I search for how to turn off getting data accidentally - he still wants to turn off his popup and I don't know how to do that - do you?

I have NODATA installed and running on the phone so I've disabled all connections to ATT Data. This does prevent me from accidently getting data correct?

That dams message popped up again. The following choices are under the above path and all 3 are unchecked.
1)Remind me when data expires
2)Auto download when data expires
3)Auto download when connected to PC via activesync
I repeat all 3 are unchecked. Why is this update message still terrorizing me?

Not sure, my Tilt doesn't behave that way. Did you soft reset after unchecking them? The notifications is set by a registry key, so maybe it's not getting reset correctly?
After doing it I did turn it on & off ( soft reset). Can't I just uninstall this piece of &%$# quick gps? There's nothing listed for it under remove programs.
Edit: I got my help below, thanks guys !
I just got the HTC Diamond so I figured you guys might know the answer to this since I'm sure you know the thing inside and out.
Without actually trying it, does anyone know off hand if this would work. I'd like to be able to play with my iPod and access iTunes and such away from home (like at work, no wifi). I have an HTC Touch Diamond.. I'm not trying to turn it into a phone obviously, I'd just like internet access on my touch (iPod)
Thanks
Instructions to make the iPod a phone but I am thinking if it can connect to the phone, it should be able to get access..... yes?

This should only take about 10-15 minutes. If you have any problems at all, feel free to ask other users in this forum.
1) Setup the Windows phone as follows:
a) Go to settings/connections/wifi
b) Select the network adaptors tab, and select your Wifi card (should be obviously named)
c) Manualy set an IP address, lets use 192.168.1.1 Then click in netmask and let it auto-fill with 255.255.255.0
d) Go back to the Wireless tab, and select NEW network (make sure the option to show both fixed and adhoc networks is selected).
e) Name the network whatever you want. I called it 'iPod'. Then tick 'This is a device-to-device (adhoc)' option. Hit 'Next'
f) Turn off data encryption. You CAN use it, but it makes things more complex, and only 1 device can connect to this network anyway so nobody else will be able to use it.
g) Hit next and finish. You should see the network name appear with 'Connecting'. It will sit there untill you finish the client side before it says connected.
2) Configure the Internet connection sharing,
a) Run Internet sharing on your device, select 'Bluetooh PAN' and check the box below shows your GPRS data connection.
b) Open PHM Registry Editor and go to 'HKLM\Comm\ConnectionSharing\PrivateInterface=BTPAN1'
c) Change 'PrivateInterface=BTPAN1' to 'TIACXWLN1', Ok and save this. Exit the registry editor.
3) Configure the WiFi settings on your iPod/iPhone (these instructions are for iPod Touch. Presumably iPhone is the same or very similiar. Just let me know in the forum how you get on!)
a) From the home page tap 'Settings' then 'Wifi' then 'Turn on WiFi'.
b) Select your new 'iPod' network from the list. Wait a few seconds. It should connect.
c) Press the 'Home' button and open Safari. Go to a webpage. It should connect with no trouble. I occasionally got the message, 'Cannot connect to iPod'. Turning it off and on (rebooting) should fix this. If not, reboot the Windows phone also and start from scratch.
