Ok so heres my dilemma. I figured I would test out tethering and see what my speeds are. So I connected my TP to my computer and selected the "Tethering" option when it showed up on my phone and thought, ok this should be easy. It connected to my computer, so i disabled my current wireless connection thinking my phones connection would automatically take over. But i was wrong, as a matter of fact nothing happened. When i checked my network settings, it told me i was connected with limited or no internet. Huh? Really? did i do something wrong? When you select tethering from the popup screen does it automatically run the Internet Sharing app?
So now i tried unplugging and replugging my phone back in and now that little popup screen doesnt even show up. Activesync doesnt connect, but i figured you couldnt run activesync and tethering at the same time. But now even worse is when i go to the Internet Sharing app and hit connect, it doesnt connect, it just says "Check usb Cable". As im doing all of this i have network connections up on my computer, watching to see if anything changes. So here i am in the internet sharing app and i hit connect, it says check usb cable, so i hit disconnect and right when i hit disconnect, it shows that im connected on my pc. ????? But even still when i try to surf the web it doesnt work. IDK what i/i'm did/doing wrong.
I like the popup screen when i connect my device to pc and would like to get that back if possible. Can someone please shed some light on 1.How to Tether 2. How to get the popup screen back (even though in all settings->connections->usb to pc->"ask about connection type when i connect" IS checked)
Tried a soft reset to see if that would change anything, but nothing changed.
Unplug your connections to your computer.
don't disable them.
If it is wireless, turn it off, don't disable.
I cannot share my connection while plugged into the network.

Click to expand...

Lets break this down a little bit. First of all who is your carrier? Also, do you have the tethering option on your plan? (not that its completely necessary)
From there we can figure out the next step.
tethering
what about PDANET? I used it on my 6700.

Here you go. Install both cabs, reset the device, and go into Programs and start ICSShrUi. You'll be able to tether no problem. Ive been doing so I received my Verizon TP on Tuesday.

Hi!
I recently began using a netbook with Win XP on it and sadly it cannot connect to my HD2 set up as WiFi router. I can select it from the wireless networks list, it shows that it is an ad hoc network and asks for a key - but when I hit connect... the progressbar keeps running and running until I abort the attempt.
XP has all the latest updates, I updated the wireless driver to the latest, I tried it with disabled firewall... I even pre set the network manually (computer to computer, WEP and Key) nothing helps.
At the same time a Vista laptop can connect to the HD2 router just fine.
Any ideas? I'm out of them... And frankly I'm already sick of connecting my devices via cable to get online when my HD2 has this nice and otherwise working feature.
Solved... in a way.
When I activate the option in Wifi-settings that forces my computer to only connect to computer to computer networks it works fine. Maybe the connection to the HD2 takes too long to be established or the importance ranking of available regular WiFi networks is too high in the default settings.
But it is quite bothersome to change this setting everytime I want to change the connection type from computer to computer over to regular and vice versa. Does anyone know a way to nullify the network preference without blocking either of network types from being used?
This is how it is now:
When it is set to accept only computer to computer networks I can use my HD2 as WiFi hotspot but am blocked from using any regular hotspot and get a windows error message when I try so.
When I set it to allow all network types and try to connect to my HD2 I get stuck with a connecting messagebox with an ever ongoing progress bar - but I get no error message.
When a known regular network is in range Windows even connects with that, although the connection attempt messagebox is still there. Doesn't make any difference though if a known network is in reach or not. It doesn't connect to my HD2 either way.
I just want it to work without having to make adjustments every time
It is a huge security risk to do this but look here and check the "Connect to any" box.
That's exactly what I did... See above.
But thanks for the lookup!
so i was at the Borders bookstore yesterday connecting through wifi. I download a program from the Market that I believe was called Wifi Status. I installed it and then removed it. Then all of a sudden my wifi doesn't work anymore.
Do I just need to install this program again to get it working? The weird thing is, it shows that I am connected to my router at home now, but when I try to use the web to connect to wifi...it says I have no network connect. Please help!
I just realized I can't just go to androidzoom.com to download any programs to my computer and install it on my phone through a USB cable. Some people help!
I'm not sure quite what is going on here, but did you reboot your phone to see if that fixes it?
My wifi stopped working once I hard reset and poof its normal again lol
whenever i connect my x10 to my pc (vista) with debugging mode enabled, the wifi connection on the pc goes from 'local and internet' to 'limited connectivity' (which basically means no internet).
if i try to reconnect (or even disconnect) the wifi, the window doesnt respond - try to close it down and it takes ages if it even does at all, and i cant even restart the pc - its like the whole thing freezes - though oddly if i dont try to close anything or do anything with the wifi everything else works fine.
i dont want to keep having to restart my pc everytime i connect my phone to it. has anyone else had this problem? or know a solution?
I'm trying to put music on my phone, so I got HiSuite set up and everything and tried to connect. At first, it didn't connect at all, so I did some research to find a fix.
I've set the settings to allow HDB HiSuite connection, and I've turned on USB Debugging in developer mode as well. (I've tried with and without USB Debugging on) It's also set by default to MTP connections, and yes when the notification pops up it says charging only, but I switched it to Media.
On the computer, it shows up as connected and I get a pop up saying 'connect to device-please authorize your computer to manage your device.' In order to continue, I have to click ok on a pop up on my phone that says 'Allow connection in HDB mode'.
But I'm not getting that pop-up so I am stuck on this step.
I've tried switching out cables but that doesn't work. I was using the cable that came with the phone originally anyway. If it's the port I'm screwed, because it's the only port that still works on this computer.
Any ideas of something else that could be causing the problem? I appreciate any help you could give.
Hey, so recently I was having WiFi connectivity issues at my university; I would be able to connect to WiFi on my phone but would have no internet connection. After a variety of attempted fixes I decided the only way I could fix anything (since I can't directly fiddle with the router here) would be a factory reset of the phone. I'm able to do that without any problems up to the point where I'm asked to "Set Internet connection" where I'm presented with a number of WiFis to connect to. I tried to connect to the university WiFi but it's having the same problem as before: it connects but no internet. Okay, at this point I just hit "Next" to get to the next screen just so I can finish setting up the phone, and I'm given a dialog box which reads:
"No Internet
Your phone is not connected to the Internet. Software updates and device protection features will be unavailable until you connect to the Internet.
(Don't Skip) (Skip Anyway)"
No big deal, I just hit Skip Anyway.... the problem is, it doesn't "Skip" anything... it just takes me back to the "Set Internet connection" screen and I can't progress any further, so basically my phone is stuck in limbo, not able to finish setting up for some reason. I've also gone elsewhere and tried connecting to other WiFis that work, as well as trying to hotspot from my PC, and the phone gets hung up on "Obtaining IP address....", thus leading to the same Skip Anyway issue as before.
REALLY need some help as soon as possible, thanks in advance.
What model of v30 do you possess?
Are you rooted? Do you ha e TWRP?
