Hi
I've been using HTC phones for years now, always been on O2 and I've always used my various flavours of XDA to connect my laptop to the internet. I am at this very moment using my Polaris via bluetooth to connect to this forum with my laptop, that is my problem.
It it the one function that the Polaris does that I can't make my HD7 do. Am I missing something here? Surely the HD7 can do this, it is a pretty basic function of a phone so I reckon the problem here is the user.
I am currently having to swap my sim card between devices whenever I need to connect to the net with my PC.
I little help here would be very appreciated.

Actually, at this time I dont believe there is any way to tether the HD7 to a PC and if I remember correctly, I believe at this time the bluetooth on the HD7 only works for a headset and nothing else. I may be wrong so Id do a bit more searching but I believe this is what I have read and heard...
Feeling your pain.... My PSTN telephone line is down (taking my broadband with it) so having to stick my sim back in my water damaged HTC HD2 and with a stroke of luck and with the awesome windows controller 'MyMobiler' I can use that as my modem... Was a bit shocked that this was missing with WP7 going after the business (and social) sectors...

This might sound stupid but I have a question. I am trying to connect my xda2i to the internet trough a Motorola v3. The reason I’m doing this is that I don’t need the xda2i as a mobile. I have a Motorola v3 I bought trough the office with an unlimited GPRS access. O2 did a couple of terrible mistakes with my business account and probably being afraid that we are going to sue them, they tried to befriend me by sending me this xda2i. I don’t want to use a new number so all I want to do is connect my V3 with this xda2i. It seems that it won’t work for some reason that eludes me. Is there anyone here able to help me with few ideas?
Regards

I have tried this a few times and it appears that the required software is not installed on the XDA IIi.
Why not unlock the XDA IIi and use yout Voda SIM in it?
Xda2i and Bluetooth
Hi guys
Like you I have tried over and over to get my 2i to talk to a bluetooth device and connect to the net ( I brought a small blue tooth modem that I can plug into a Wall phone socket ) , But no Joy .
Ive searced lots of forums and as you have , have been told that some of the software is missing from the blue tooth section . Its a real bummer cos it means we are trapped to wifi or GPRS the latter being very expensive .
Would really appreciate a patch to make this work if any clever people are reading .

With many other HTC phones, i know that they have a program called 'Network Sharing' which very easily enables you to use the phone to connect to the internet via bluetooth or usb on a computer. The latest one i've seen would be the Cavalier, which when connected via usb would show as a network connection in Vista, per this program.
I am wondering if the Kaiser has this, I would assume that it does (when bought directly from HTC, as i know AT&T would disable something as user friendly as this).
Anyone who has this phone currently, would you be able to help me with this?
Thanks,
elbweb
P.S. I am picking this phone up tomorrow, so hopefully the answer to this question won't cause any regrets beforehand...
yes
enjoy!

Well this was something I already assumed would be included and happy to hear I was right in my assumption. In regard to AT&T removing such a user friendly option, they did in the original shipped wm5 rom but the update wm5 did include "Internet sharing" just a comment for those that would be worried at&t wouldn't include this.

well thank you both, no more questions for me
Hi!
I'm having trouble using my tytn II as a modem in windows vista. I had no problems in windows xp but since i installed windows vista and use internet sharing application this is what happens:
I get connected and a new networkadapter (NDIS) is detected
I recieve a local ip-adress of 169.xxx...
This is making me crazy and i've searched the forum without beeing able to find anyone with the same problem...what am i doing wrong??
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
I understand, you use it with USB cable, may be using it with Bluetooth will be better, because in this case Windows will recognize it as a modem.
Please provide some more information about how did you make the configuration.
Did you make it as it was described in the user guide?
Hi!
I did make the configuration exactly as the manual describes it and my device is syncing correctly and everything. It even installs as a network driver when i use the internet sharing application. But it just wont give me an ip-address...
I've had this issue for over a month now and it feels like vista is blocking the service or something, but i just cant figure it out...
PLEASE advise!
I have the same Problem as you !
As a matter of fact, I have an ip but vista says that I'm connected to local network but not to the Internet.
But at the same time I have an illimited data plan that runs perfectly when using Pocket ie...
Still searching for a solution...
But i'm sure it comes from vista...

No problems!
Hi guys.
Ive used this feature with vista with no problems at all..
Just turned internet sharing on and it connected to the network connection then vista aked me what kind of network it was (Home, Work Place etc) and hey presto it worked.
Mine is a T-Mobile Vario iii btw.
Never really had a problem either though it's much too slow compared to a "real" USB-3G/HDSPA-modem. (I max out at 1.2-1.8 mbit/s but when I use my dedicated modem I easilly reach 4 mbit/s)

Yeah this is killing me! I get the same as you, i get a IP-address but its a local one 169.xxx.xxx.xxx and vista says its a local ip-address...
I've started looking for services that may be stopped and such in Vista, but i still cant get it to work
I also can't get it to work, so if my WiFi goes out and i need internet, i just reboot to XP... Obviously not a solution, it's very annoying. I'd love to figure this out. I think my friend said he got it working, i should get details from him!

Guys, this is not the solution, BUT, until someone finds it, this is a awesome way to get around the problem! Just install the application, start it and tap connect. Now on your computer you'll find a new adhoc network using wifi, connect to it and your ready to go!

Hello, i have recently got a hd7 and i am moving and gonna have no wifi/internet is there a way i can connect the hd7 via USB to my laptop and get a wifi signal so i can use internet on laptop without running up my 2gb dataplan cause it will run it up very quickly . if this is possible can you please point me in the right direction for direction on how this is possible
I don't think it's possible unless you can make your phone as a modem (just like wm6)but i'm afraid you can't do with wp7.
This should work.

Haven't used it on hd7 but used it my hd2 for while. Be careful not to uninstall without in Zune mode. I ended up just leaving it installed after I used it just in case. But now there are fixes so I guess it really doesn't matter.
This will use your 3g data I guess I mean it pretty fast.

Don't try to use that dfrouter I once tried it.I try to connect than i uninstall it and my device cannot recognize my pc and cannot charge you can refer to this link read carefully and you decide before its too late :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204678 I have to send to service centre and lucky they didn't ask much.they change the mainboard and it was a week before i send due to power button failure.
Hi,
I was thinking about buying a second MIFI device and I have a couple of old windows mobile devices (TYTN 2) stuck in the cupboard gathering dust and i thought hey some clever person must be able to bake a MIFI ROM for these devices to make them really useful.
Its a shame that thousands of these are discarded and the same people discarding them go out and buy brand new MIFI devices for their wifi ipads and laptops when they could recyle these to give them similar functionality for nothing.
We have a microsd card for a bit of LAN storage as with the MIFI .. anyone interested or is it time to bin windows mobile devices completely
I have to say though I have never seen WPA wifi tetheringon a kaiser :-(

Wifi tethering on a Kaiser is completely doable and has been for some time now, running Android.
Drivers and such have been a bugger to get (or make from scratch), but I can tether my Kaiser via USB or WIFI and use my mobile network for internet.
I think WM6.0 allowed sharing the mobile data connection, I just never tried it on my own device while 6.0 was still on it.
P.S.: I will take those Kaisers off your hands for a partly donation...lol.
