if i connect to another phone with bluetooth,can i pick up their 3g/4g/or w/e internet connection that their carrier provides them with my rooted htc hero?, i have the wifi tether app dont know if that would help
Short answer - no. WiFi tethering allows your HTC Hero unit to act as a wireless 'hotspot' for other WiFi-enabled devices to connect to, using a cellular data connection on the host device. Bluetooth on most phones was not intended to be used for modem and tethering purposes.

This is a fairly newbie question, and I know it was covered when the software was being developed for the Hermes. I used it then, but now cannot remember the name of it or find a reference to it anywhere on the forum. It isnt easy to search on such a small screen either, so apologies for taking the short route.
My hotel offers free wifi. I can connect to this wifi using my Kaiser. I want to browse the internet on a large display, ie my old Thinkpad. I connect my Kaiser to the laptop via USB and select internet sharing on the Kaiser, but only get options for sharing my 3G/GPRS connection, not the hotels Wifi. Where aren't I looking?!
Can I just make clear I am not talking about using my Kaiser as a wireless router.
WMWifiRouter can connect your Kaiser from:
- Cellular to Wifi
- Cellular to USB
- Cellular to Bluetooth
- Wifi to USB
- USB to Wifi
on your Thinkpad
I hope that helps

How can I tether the phones wifi connection without using bluetooth is there an app that does this?
i believe that is not possible to do. pretty sure there are no apps for that.
Use this to tether your wifi connection to your laptop (if your laptop doesn't have a wifi card). This app tethers via usb cable, not wireless like anetshare and wifitether. (If you're trying to connect wirelessly to your phone to get the phone's wi-fi connection, then you're just weird)

i know there was talk on here a while ago about sharing internet connections over USB or about getting wifi onto the touch, here is my question is it possible to share my data connection from my active hero to my touch, i know devices like the ARCHOs 5 tablets use a BT DUN to share a connection from a phone, so how hard would it be to implement?
Just wondering if there is a way to tether to a computer with a wired connection to get Internet connection that way, instead of using wifi??? There is lots of apps and stuff that need to connect to the internet to download, but I dont have the wifi's at home.
And if not, is it a hardware limitation, or software???
as far as i know there is no way to get internet to your phone through usb cable.
you can probably work around it if you have a laptop wired to the internet or a wifi stick. you should be able to setup a hotspot through windows to share your wired connection over wifi.
If you are on Froyo, it is built in.
If you are on Eclair, use Acer EasyLink:
(credits to navygino on MoDaCo for figuring everything out):
1) Download & install this program, http://global-download.acer.com/GDF...uid&Step3=Liquid&OS=A01&LC=en&BC=Acer&SC=PA_6
(I did this on Vista) Device Manager-->Modem-->Acer Android Modem-->Advanced-->enter the sting: +CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”apn name”
2) Open the Acer EasyLink software
3) Go to Settings
-The number is just *99#
-Make sure everything else is correct
Ohhhh sorry thats for wired tethering, using your mobile network on your computer.
As far as using your computers wired connection, I have no clue.
i know that monoxide.tryst is probably gone but for anyone else.
if you want internet on your device you can share your wired network to your phone if you have a laptop/wireless adapter.
Windows 7
go to "network and sharing center"
>on the left "Manage Wireless Networks"
>>click "Add"
>>>"Create an ad hoc network"
>>>>Put in SSID and Security code
>>>>>"next" and then select "Share my internet Connection"
This will setup a wireless hotspot from your laptop/adapter using your wired internet connection. Which then you can use your phone to connect too.
This has been asked before, but on replies. I'd like to use my phone as a hotspot connecting my Chromecast, but it requires wifi. My work-a-round, create a Bluetooth tether from a workstation to my phone, sharing the bluetooth connection, enable a softap on a Windows 7 box, have the HTC One and Chromecast connect to softAP and stream through the phone, but ever time the HTC connects to the softAp, my data is routed through the wifi, and turns off the LTE/4G connection on my phone, but mobile data stays on.

This post says it's not technical possible to use both wifi and 3g/4g/lte for data at the same time?
