WM6 - Internet connection sharing? - Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development

Guys,
I upgraded to WM6 using the original ROM posted here some weeks ago, everything has been going fine, up until I went away on business last week and found I couldnt get the internet connection sharing application to properly share the connection - it said connected and I had a local ip, but I couldnt view web pages on the laptop.
Has anyone else noticed this? Is it a known problem? Have I done something daft?

It works fine here. Did you try to use it on USB or Bluetooth. In usb you need to switch off USB connection in AS. In bluetooth you should use NAP (Network Access Poin) service for connection.

Hey, thanks for the hints, I've managed to get it working now (posting over it at the moment).
I was connecting via USB and disabling the active sync USB and changing the connection style on the phone seemed to fix it.

Tethering problem anyone?

Hi all
i am having problems internet sharing. i have an unlimited data plan and my mogul was connecting my laptop yesterday. it has just stopped and i cant get it back! anyone else having the same or suggestions?
thanks in advance.
me to
Same exact thing i have reflashed reinstalled changed adhoc network names everything even reg usb connection have gotten it to say internet was good but wouldnt actually transfer my only question is if you are on the new gps radio and rom because the issue started a couple hours after i went to new rom i am wondering if sprint built in some way of checking on tethering into new radio and rom if so this sucks and i dont want gps anymore
I have dcd's 2.2.0 with 3.27 radio. I do not know why it has happened. I cant seem to find solutions anywhere.
I had issues with this after awhile as well...I think it may be Verizon killing tethering access from their side of things....
I solved it by buying a copy of PDANet...
Works like a charm and even better than the standard tethering methods.
does pda net work with wifi and i have sprint and last but not least hopefully we dont get charged
Well I just got a trial of PDAnet and it works. I am going to do a speed test to see what I am getting. Hopefully no charges with sprint.

are you able to connect w/ activesync??? i cant even sync my contacts
I am having the same problem with my touch also I just tried connecting with internet sharing yesterday it says connected and the laptop gets an ip and connects but it won't go anywhere on the internet not sure why this is happening
Same here...it will conect but won't do anything
I am able to connect with activesync. I had to make sure that i had enable/use USB connections checked. I reinstalled activesync and restarted the pc and softrest my ppc and I have not had a problem since. I was unable to get anything using internet sharing, but I am on my laptop right now using pdanet. Ran a speed test and getting 1.1MB/sec down 532kb/sec up.
what i dont understand is if this is related to the new rom or if sprint just started trying to do something so it disabled the regular internet sharing and also want to know if pda net works wirelessly
I just tried to tether with my Mogul on Sprint; it seems to be working without issue. I used the internet sharing app on the Mogul.
I'm using DCDs 2.2.6 ROM.
Try #1
i'm not an expert but for what its worth this worked for me when i had that problem...
Solution #1
Open internet explorer in ppc
Open internet sharing
Connect phone to pc
Solution #2
You will need a reg editor
goto HKLM/Comm/InternetSharing
and delete Extension with the data tag as rilphone.dll
restart the phone and enjoy...
but please make sure u back ur registry up or remember this post to go back to it so if its messed up u can place that value back and FYI its a REG_SZ type value.
Solution #3
Try #2 then #1

PDA Net will work with any method you can connect to Activesync with...
I have never tried to get it to sync via Wifi...
And didn't have a lot of success with Bluetooth either...
PDA Net also works with WMDC. All it really requires is for the phone to be connected to sync and it will work.

I wouldn't be a good person to test this out then....I don't think I ever tether for a couple of hours at a time...

dcd rom already has this deleted
you have to close activesync for wmwifirouter that seems to be working and i changed max cm retry to 5 from 0 in the registry key referred to before
nevermind something weird going on if i start a secured connection in my browser then i can stay on that site if i switch to the adhoc connection but i cant even go to google. ex log on to xda and switch to wmwifiroyter and keep browsing posting whatever but cant go to any other site.
i think this is a win 6.1 issue only
Try a differant computer, I can tether just fine with my laptop, but I have problems tethering with my decktop pc. It might be a windows XP issue

Internet Sharing suddenly stopped working

I am running dcd 2.3.2 with radio 3.42.30. Everything was working great until late last week... my Internet Sharing suddenly stopped working. When I say 'stopped working' I mean that it is no longer allowing me to connect via USB to my PC to get internet access. The PC does see it and ActiveSync pops up and when I start Internet Sharing it appears to work, even providing a 192.168.0.10x IP address to the computer. However, it never actually gets 'out' from the phone. On my friend's Vista machine, the little globe never appears on the network icon in the system tray. I tried a hard reset, a couple times, without success. I even pulled the battery for a while to see if that would help. Tried different USB cables. Tried changing the IP from mobile preferred to mobile only. My friend's mogul flashed the same is working, mine just stopped. Any thoughts?
Edit: PIE works until I establish Internet Sharing. Internet Sharing says connected but I don't get out to the internet and PIE will not work giving some message about "Page can not be found" until I disconnect from Internet Sharing.
I have persevered through the issue and have found a solution. I assumed the problem was likely DNS related because I was connecting fine, it was simply not showing as on the ‘Internet’ in Windows Vista. Once I connected this way with my phone, I was unable to browse even using PIE as I would get an error indicating the page could not be found. A little searching and I came across this DNS ‘speed fix’ post over at ppcgeeks.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=18435
I followed the instructions to change the DNS server entries and I was then able to tether just fine. So apparently, DNS was the culprit. However, I am wondering now what my default DNS servers were. I don’t see anything other than 192.168.0.1 on my PC when I check ipconfig information. Is there a utility that I can load on the phone to see what DNS servers I am getting from Sprint?
I would like to see what my friend who is using Sprint and not having a problem is getting also. If it is a Sprint DNS issue, maybe I should let them know about it and what the specific DNS server(s) are that are affected.

[Q] Internet connection problem (WIFI)

Hi all,
I got problem with internet connection on my HD2 (ROM 1.48). There are 2 ways I connect to the internet - WIFI and GPRS. GPRS connection works fine - I can download and read e-mails, make backups with MyPhone, update weather information, etc. But when I connect to the internet with WIFI, there are only 2 things I can do. I can browse web pages with Opera and update Twitter messages. But I can´t download e-mails, make backups, update weather information, etc. When I try to update or backup something, there is connection error (through that connection between phone and router is fine and web pages are running).
It seems to me like most of applications want to connect to internet via GPRS only. Is there any way to set up (or check) the phone to connect to the internet via WIFI when it is turned on?
Thanks for any advice
Sorry cant help but agree - it would be fantastic if there was some way of knowing / controlling when it used GPRS data and when it uses wifi. When wifi availabe obviously would rather use that than be charge a small firtune for data.
Any one out there about to help with this??
Internet browsing
Ditto. I can - after HUGE effort - connect WiFi but I cannot browse the internet using either Opera or IE. 2 year old Nokia connected and browsed literally within 2 secs! Also, the phone keeps connecting via GPRS all the time even with data connections off. Can anyone help? Thanks PS I know it's unproductive & forgive me, but I have to get this off my chest: this is the worst cellphone I've ever owned. Bluetooth doesn't work, internet doesn't work, handsfree car kit doesn't work. Does anything work?

correction, YOUR Bluetooth doesn't work, YOUR internet doesn't work, YOUR handsfree car kit doesn't work.
Get it exchanged. (if they genuinely dont work)
@others, go to settings menu all settings connection connections advanced select networks.
there are two dropdowns, in teh top one should be the name of your mobile data, , this is what automatic progs will use to connect to the web, in teh bottom one it should be 'the internet' (or sometimes 'my work network'), meaning they use wifi if available, and data if not.
(At least thats how they should work....)
If you set the top one the same as teh bottom one, nothing should try to use mobile unless wifi is not connected.
Could be a proxy problem? some operators set up a proxy, which can screw with connections.
samsamuel: Thank you for your advice. I´ve tried it - in both dropdowns I got "my work network", but no success.
I´ve found something interessting. When I turn on YouTube client (using WIFI), I can´t play videos. That should be ok when I got problem with internet connection. But YouTube client shows on the welcome screen preview of today´s added videos. So the question is why should application download preview of video, but it can´t play the video? I´m a little bit confused
Thanks for the suggestion, but I had tried that already and it did not work. I don't think it is just my cellphone. There are many comments re the HD2 that make it clear that it does not work with a Parrot handsfree carkit, Motorola S9 headset etc, and the 2 earlier posts reveal problems using WiFi too. It seems to be problematic on many fronts. I cannot even connect it using Windows Mobile via an USB port! And while I appreciate all suggestions it seems to me that this model is a (very expensive) lemon and frustrates huge numbers of owners. I find it odd that a 2 year old Nokia N95 can connect and browse instantly and a 'smart phone' doesn't work at all. I find it to be very gimmicky. I don't need twitter, facebook etc. I need voice dial, good PC software (like Ovi and PC suite) and bluetooth that works etc. The HD2 has none of this, but great graphics of a windscreen wiper, exactly the sort of pointless gimmick that reveals that the designers were interested in making a toy and not a useful phone.
I suggest you try and install "HTC_Wi-Fi_onDemand_by_Krocher". This program will always use wifi when available and stop the GPRS from connecting and will also keep your wifi on a stand-by. Please do read through the thread as you have to make sure that no programs using wifi are activated when you want it to be off. For me it solved several problems with wifi.
Second thought is to upgrade to one of the much more stable and already tweaked OS's. There are quite a lot out and you'll find everything about that on this forum as well.
Last thought, if it does not work it must be something to do with either the settings or the OS version as for others it works absolutely fine. These are complicated phones that, much like computers, must be set and tweaked to the correct settings in order to get the best out of them. If you just want a "buy and run" phone this is not the one.
Success,
Itamar

[Q] wifi connected but can not connect

Hey I'm new to android, just got a vibrant last week. Decided to unlock it as I travel a lot. The unlock worked, but now I'm having issues with my wifi. I can connect to a wireless network but I cant load pages. The wireless signal is strong and I tried with different routers, but still no luck. Looked through the forum and googled it but couldn't find a solution. If some one could please help with this, it would be much appreciated
try clearing your current wifi settings including remembered connections, passwords, and everything else...then re-scan for networks all over again, that's all I can think of for now
By that you mean just gong into settings->wireless and networks->wifi settings and then just forget the net work, rescan, and rejoin the network? If so, I did that but am still getting the same result. If you can think of anything else or if I didnt do what you suggested correctly please let me know. Thanks

yeah, thats what I meant :/....hmmm...sounds like your connection is working, can you download stuff from the market or is it just the browser? cause I unlocked mine too and wifi works fine
No I cant download anything from the market. I cant do anything that requires an internet connection, but it does show that I am connected to a network.

I sure hope so, thanks for your help
Have you been able to try another network? My first thought was it was in Ad-Hoc mode but I could be wrong. If nothing else restore to stock firmware and then try a different unlock.
Happened to me too. It would show the wifi icon on the notification bar but wouldn't load pages. I'd go to the settings and it'd say can't turn off wifi or can't turn on wifi. And when it was "on" I'd say connecting to modem then it'd just stop. When I was using the browser on wifi it would load a page even when I had full bars. I had to turn it off then back on to load another page. Is this similar to the problem your having?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I hope this doesn't sound stupid but yesterday I uninstalled Advanced Task Manager and poof my wifi started working again. The phone also seems to suffer from less occasional lag without it installed, but that's another story for another thread. Prior to this I had to manually turn my wifi connection off and on, but even that didn't always work. Since the uninstall I have not my wifi connection once. I am currently using the stock rom, rooted with minor adjustments here and there.
hi guys, i also have this problem.
i will be taking the phone in to the tmobile store on thursday.
it shows that i am connected via wifi; however, anything that requires an internet connection does not load.
very frustrating, since just yesterday i used the samsung kies software to tether a network for my laptop. i was testing the capability of the vibrant to act as a modem, and it worked just fine.
any help would be appreciated!
thank you
Charlie
connected but not connected
I also have this problem.
In my Vibrant shows that i connected, but i can not load pages. Someone
found any solution to this problem?
Hi all,
This is happening to me too. Rebooting seems to get Wifi working correctly again. But the problem comes back eventually.
Maybe a bug in the latest JI6 update?
Wi-fi problem.
Someone found any solution for this problem?
Froyo's update will fix this issue?
Thanks.
i hang on you **** iphone users they just bay for its cool smartphone **** iphone android is the king

[Q] BitTorrent Sync over ethernet

Is there a fix/hack to get BitTorrent Sync to use my ethernet connection? I got the same issue on both Android 4.2.2 and 4.4.2 on my Radxa Rock.
BitTorrent Sync isn't able to use my ethernet connection to sync files. All other apps I have tried so far is using the ethernet connection to get online but it seems like BitTorrent Sync only recognizes Wi-fi and mobile connections. I have tried enabling the settings to enable it to sync over mobile thinking it would try to sync on anything available but it did nothing.
Any ideas?
BitTorrent Sync Android client fails over ethernet
After hours and hours of going around and around in circles on this, I found the same problem.
And until it's fixed the only hack/solution is to turn on Wi-Fi.
And there's also file a bug/feature request, which I also did, and hopefully, everybody else who has this problem will also do.
I tried another custom rom made by Oma and BitTorrent Sync works with my ethernet connection on my Radxa Rock! Do you have the same device or something else? Perhaps one could try and contact Oma if this is a fix he has made in the custom rom? If you do before me, please reply back with any useful findings.
I know I tried enabling "Use mobile data" on 2.2.4 and it didn't work, I can't swear I did try it on the 4.4.2. Cause it must be enabled in this custom rom as well to work. Maybe it does work on 4.4.2 with "Use mobile data" enabled as well?

Actually it did work for me even on Android 4.2.2 when enabling "Allow mobile connection" in the settings, I was being to impatient cause it took quite some time before it made the first connection, close to a minute.
Worth a try for you to?
