please make making a tethering app and wifi router a first priority in for the wp7... developers
Moved to general.
wifi tethering
Anyone seen any option in the HD7 to share data wireless as could be done on the HD2?
The Samsung Focus and Omnia 7 can do it by going into diagnostic mode.
Hopefully someone will find a way to do it on the HD7.
I';d love to see this as well. I used it all the time on my HD2
also waiting for this kind app
i heard the 3 big telcos in US have already blocked the android apps, for tethering and router...
i think they will not allow for WP7 as well...
hey guys, i have a t-mobile HD7 imported from america to australia. it's weird as i can connect to random routers like my friends d-link dsl-g604T with wpa2 security and open networks like in mcdonalds or starbucks, but i can't on my own d-link DIR-615 with "ANY" security options, including open network combined with any individual b, g, and n only connectivity options. This is really annoying because a smart phone is dumb without wi-fi and my connection with 3/vodafone is just oh so bad within my area. so I am now blaming my d-link router! please help me out with choosing a good wi-fi router, I'd have bought the same router as my mate but it's not N compatible, and I want this N feature cause it's good with other wireless devices within my house. can any of you kind techy people provide me with routers you guys have that run perfectly fine with the hd7 so that i can be a copycat and buy the same and enjoy streaming youtube or pron when the girlfriend's not around like you guys do LOL. I was planning to go with TP-Link TL-MR3420 but please enlighten me for better ideas.
cheers!

I suspect your wi-fi router has MAC address filtering switched on.
Hi Guys,
I recently wanted to look a bit in the Wifi Sense Feature of WP8.1 but I could not share my private Home Wifi.
I ticked the share-button and allowed all my skype friends to access my shared networks. The account on my other phone is a skype friend but it just won't connect to the wifi. I know that it can take several days for my network to be shared, but really more than a week? Is there anything I can do to "force a sync"? Did I forget something?
Thank you,

im also experiencing the same thing on my Blu Vivo Xi+ And XL4.. i think it has something to do with the mac addresses.
i have flashed a gsi rom to see if it fixes the problem, but no avail. only good thing is i now have stock android
Is it possible your home router IP pool is very small (DHCP if you are more technical)? Can you check your router configuration?

You can try to restore the network settings on your mobile phone or reset the router.
Hi everyone,
I have a problem with my new P30 Pro. When I create a Hotspot in 5ghz frequency, no other device can find that Hotspot. If I change frequency to 2.4ghz then other devices can connect to the network. Maybe others have the same problem? Or my device is faulty ?
BTW when I'm connecting to Wi-Fi, either 2.4 or 5ghz, everything works fine
Maybe it uses a channel, that your other devices do not see. I think different regions use different wifi channel ranges. Maybe you find an option for that somewhere in advanced wifi settings.
I just tried on mine. My laptop pics up the hotspot on the P30 Pro no matter if it's 5 or 2.4GHz, no problem.

I didn't find any advanced settings regarding channel ranges / regions.
BTW my phone is C431 if it's good or not, I don't know. I remember C432 used to be the best region code, if you could say so. My P20 pro is C432.
How the problem started, I bought P30 Pro, opened phone clone app, I wanted to transfer data wirelessly from one phone to another. But devices didn't connect, tried multiple times. After that I started experimenting with 2.4 ghz or 5ghz Hotspot. And found out that other devices can't find 5ghz frequency.

My laptop sees 5ghz Hotspot, but can't connect to it. P20 Pro, honor 8, nexus 6P can't even see that. Samsung S10 can connect to 5ghz. It's very strange
EMUI 9.1.0.153 resolved the issue
Nope, it didn't. I'm still having problems - my notebook can see the hotspot, and can connect to it, but the phone just won't share the internet connection.
Bluetooth is turned on, and bluetooth tethering as well, 2.4 or 5 GHz.
I tried USB tethering. Tried apps from the store. Always the same thing - notebook can see the hotspot, but internet is not working. Any ideas? The notebook is Asus Rog G751. I'm on 9.1.0.1.178.
Same here. Laptop works on home 5ghz, but wont even see p30 pro 5ghz, its strange
Worst part is, 3 months ago it was working. Since I don't use it except when travelling, I have no idea what could have changed in the mean time.
In my case, max user connections was limited.
- press "Show advanced options"
- press "Max connections allowed"
- increase the value

Hi guys,
what network cards are your PC using?
Mine has a Killer Wireless 1535 built in and I can confirm this problem:
P30 (pro) switched to 5 GHz hotspot mode and PC cannot find it.
I think I may have found a reason for it, which needs to be resolved by a manufacturer (Huawei or a network adapter manufacturer - no idea if only Killer is affected):
The Huawei P30 (pro and normal model) seems to default the broadcast channel to channel #149 (5.745 MHz) when switched to 5 GHz hotspot mode.
This is a DFS channel in the only recently approved new upper channel range.
Apparently the killer 1535 cannot or cannot use these channels yet.
Actually it won't see it first. Then, when changing connection mode in the adapter property, it is found.
But after inserting the ssid password, access is not allowed and ssid vanishes from list.
Just like a restriction to invalid channels.
The broadcast on 5 GHz itself works, which I proved with another P30 which can access the AP of the first one.
However my notebooks (all using Killer Wireless cards) as well as a Samsung tablet can't.
So resolution could be:
1. Killer adapts its drivers or
2. Huawei defaults to a 5 GHz broadcast channel in lower, more common, 5 GHz band between ch7 and ch60 e. g.
(Or adds a user-accessible menue allowing selection of broadcast channel.)
