Hello,
I have mywi on my iPhone 4, and with my laptop, all is ok : i can surf when i'm connected to iPhone's hotspot.
But, my Archos 70 internet tablet doesn't see the iPhone's wifi network ...
Does anybody have any idea to use my iPhone connection on the android tablet ?
Thanks a lot !
from what ive read, android tablets cant connect to an ad-hoc network, which is what MyWi on the iphone is creating.
ok, thanks for your answer.
now I use tether via bluetooth, and it's working quite good
Hi and Thanks for your experience,
I've the same problem than you with my iPhone 3G, here under what I try to do knowing it works perfectly with a PC instead of a GT :
I will try to connect trhough BT but I'm not sure à the result....see u later...
Through BT, you can use (as I do) the "tetherme" soft, available in Cydia.
It's like mywi, but via BT, and you have to activate it in Settings/General/Networks/sharing
(in France with my carrier, it doesn't cost any extra bucks )
Really ? I go for it, and It will cost me nothing
Je suis aussi français comme toi et je suis chez Orange, j'utilise souvent mywi avec un pc mais là bug !
Merci à toi alors
I'm French to, and Orange as operator, I often use MyWi with a PC but bug with my GT ! Thanks !
Let's share our experiences, I'm only starting with my GT.
Not so far...
OK, Tetherme installed with sbsettings toggle that's easier to handle.
But impossible to pair the GT and iPhone, found in GT, still in progress on iPhone for a long long time.....
Still on the way...
The soluce
Thanks to cpmilez from thegalaxytabforum
Basicly you have to root your GT and then copy a new wireless wpa_supplicant file over.
Follow this link for intructions. It doesnt provide instructions for rooting your phone but a simple google will find you instructions for this. (obviously at your own risk also!)
Note. Before copying the new wpa_supplicant file over turn off your wifi.
Good luck !

At first I had the same problem as many of us...
I Could pair the Iphone, and connect to PAN, but somehow no data was beeing transferred to my Archos, The fix for me was to download TheterMe v1.3-20, the previous version (1.3-18, which i previously had installed ) wasn't working for me.

Tried this word for word, but no luck. I keep getting "Connection Unsuccessful "A70S" is not supported." When your say "and.... Connect" you just click on the iphone bluetooth page is it?
update: decided to give it another try and it worked.
My steps were:
Turn off bluetooth on both iphone and A70
Turn off internet tethering on iphone
Turn on bluetooth on both and pair them
Switch to the first screen on the A70 that has wifi, bluetooth, cellphone icons
Pressed the cellphone icon (it didn't light up fully)
The cellphone tethering page appeared.
Add the iphone into the profile.
Hit "Tether" at the top of the page.
It starts to connect then says connected on the iphone.
A70 says its paired but not connected.
After a while then the internet works.
Hope this helps others. (I originally had tethering on my mobile but i still downloaded tetherme and tetherme apn editing)
yea it finally works, iphone gets connect to A70 but my A70 system freeze.

I'll have to install TetherMe on my dad's iphone for him, cause at the moment, i can't get wifi tethering to work for him.

I just got my Touch Pro yesterday. When I ordered it I went ahead and added tethering. With my 6800/Titan/Mogul, I was able to tether via bluetooth no problem with a custom ROM that added "internet sharing".
The only way to tether via bluetooth on the Touch Pro stock ROM is via "Modem Link". I got it working fine on Vista. But my work laptop I commute an hour to work each way, is the MacBook Pro.
I absolutely do not want to use a USB cord as there is not much room when you have someone sitting next to you. So I want to be able to connect, and put the phone back in my pocket.
I've searched hi and low for a solution, but can't find anything useful that actually works.
Any suggestions/step by step walk through on a working solution would be much appreciated!!
Thanks!
go->utilities->bluetooth->add new device->phone....should be self explanatory from there.

No, this does not work. It only holds the connection for 5 to 15 seconds before it fails. It worked great with my Mogul, but I've looked everywhere and can't get it to work with my TP!
yeah same here. i've gotten it to connect a couple times, but then it's only for a for about 5-10 seconds and then disconnects. I just ordered a bluetooth dongle that works with mac osx just to be sure it's not the internal bluetooth on the mac. I could be wrong, but I think the reason it's not stable as my previous phone is because connecting via "internet sharing" created a PAN vs. DUN. On my MacBook Pro it would say "join network on <phone name>" and it would work perfect. Using "modem link" I think is just using the DUN profile. Maybe JETware will expose PAN profile and more profiles? I want to try it, but it looks like it's old software.
well no luck with the bluetooth dongle ordered for the mac as there is no software to install that came with it. plugged it in and the os x bluetooth used the dongle instead of the built in bluetooth hardware. that was the only difference.
But again, I don't think it has anything to do with the Mac. I believe it's just the lack of the PAN profile on the phone. DUN profile works fine on the PC, but sucks on the MAC. At least with Verizon and/or the Touch Pro.
I think I'll remove the tethering package until a custom ROM comes out that enables the PAN profile. Hopefully someone can unlock GPS too. Other than VZW locking down those 2 things, I think the phone is great!

"WMWifiRouter instantly turns your wifi enabled smartphone* into a wireless internet hotspot. Now you can use your laptop and any other device with wifi to get online and surf, email, instant message, and anything else you normally use the internet for"
Internet Sharing App: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321393
WOW! Thank you! http://www.wmwifirouter.com Works great. It took a little time to troubleshoot at first. But it's always those quick simple solutions that getcha. I just had to disable the power saving feature. But definitely a cool program worth shelling out $30 for. I had no idea that bluetooth limits bandwidth so much. Through WiFi I'm getting 2,418 kbps down and 516 kbps up. I think with bluetooth I was only able to get like 200-400 kbps down. I also had no idea pocket pc's were capable of acting like a router.
Thanks again. This seems to be the best solution for tethering VZW Touch Pro with a MacBook Pro.
By the way, I also tried the Interent Sharing app. Although it puts the program on your phone, it doesn't enable the PAN profile on the phone. So I'm guessing Verizon's a little smarter than just letting a simple app unlock it. I'm assuming a custom ROM in the future will unlock the PAN profile. Even if it does become unlocked, sharing through WiFi is so much faster that it's not even worth it going through bluetooth.
Has anyone been able to successfully connect DUN over BT using wmodem? I have installed the addon cab and can find the DUN connection when pairing my phone with my laptop, but when I go to connect it gives me a 678 error. I have no problems connecting wmodem over USB or using "Internet Sharing" to connect cover BT and USB.
dun
Had issue with wmodem but Internet Sharing that was on my custom rom works like a champ. I'm pulling 1.0 to 1.2 Mbps almost all the time. I can't remember if it was on my stock rom, but if not, I'm sure it's available somewhere on here.
Nate
i was just about to do a search on this. then i scrolled down the list and found this post. I'm very interested in getting BT DUN working on my Mac, since you can't use USB.
If you find an internet sharing cab, can you post here?
Thanks.
yeah i do not mean to hijack your thread but when i try to tether via bluetooth to my new macbook with internet sharing, the internet connection crawls!! i mean CRAWLS!!! lol
I have BT and USB connection with a windows laptop and it runs perfect. any ideas on how to speed up the connection?
Thanks!
http://www.wmwifirouter.com
this is really the best solution if you want to connect to a Mac. Works perfect and is worth the money! Hella fast too when connecting through WiFi. But you have the option to connect through WiFi, Bluetooth & USB.
When I connect through WiFi, I'm getting 1.2mb down and 500kb up.
It worked great for a while about a month or 2 ago when I bought it. But then I was playing with the Mac network settings and stuff and managed to jack it up. But here's what I was doing wrong:
Connecting through WiFi, there is open & wep. I chose wep. So on WiFiRouter you select your wep password. I chose a simple word, let's say "keyboard". On the Mac when you select to connect wep, using keyboard for the password won't work. You need to enter the 20 digit hex value that WiFiRouter gives you after you put in the password "keyboard".
Hope this helps anyone who might have problems setting it up. I didn't change any settings on WiFiRouter. Works right out of the box. You just have to make sure you set it up correctly on the Mac.
I use ICS over Bluetooth all the time. works great.
I now have ICS. Unlocked my HTC Touch Pro and used Scott Scrosler's ROM. But I'll most likely use WiFiRouter since it's about 3-4X faster going through WiFi. Need the speed for VPN.
I have an HTC Touch Pro and an asus eee pc and have tried and searched everywhere to figure out how to bluetooth pair these two, but I've had no luck. I can USB pair just fine with Internet Sharing. Has anyone had success with this? I'd rather go the free route than spend the $ for wmwifirouter, if possible. TIA
Well on W7 at least all I have to do is select Bluetooth as my connection option in ICS and then right click on my phone in the Bluetooth Devices window on my PC and go to where it says "Join PAN" and it connects faster than it would by USB. The range sorta sucks though. Has to be within like 5 feet to keep from disconnecting. But GRemote works from like 25 feet away.
Internet Sharing NO Registry Edit Needed
Hi. For those with ATT FUZE Stock Rom
I got this CAB (ICS INstaller) from a website with a topic of the last free version of WMWifiRouter by chainfire, just install the CAB and it will enable Internet Sharing, and NO registry edit needed.
As far as I remembered this is needed in order to use Internet Sharing and also if you want to use WMWifiRouter by chainfire.
Enjoy.

I'm facing a lot of disconnects using Bluetooth PAN, however over USB works great! If I have to use the cell phone near the computer, I'd rather use the cable.
I only wanted to use bluetooth because I could put the cell phone near the window which is where I have better signal when I'm on the mountains with GPRS-only..
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
Can anyone tell me how to activate ad-hoc wireless on a folio 100 with dexters latest update (1.4)
there appears to be a wp_supplicant.adhoc file in the system/bin directory but i dont know how to use it
I have done this on my galaxy s using a replacement wp_supplicant file but it wont work on the folio.
Hi
mark "active ad-hoc supplicant" or similar (I can´t remember exactly) checkbox in foliowidget. It´s all ;-)
(look for foliowidget in widget´s list, add to desktop and open it, then you´ll be able to open it. It can be opened form widget´s list directly aswell. Don´t forget to give permanent supersuser permissions to foliowidget)
TALUË
the folio finds my adhoc network but
the folio finds my adhoc network but he ask after the ip adres and just stops the network. what can i do about it please.
greats doney
Hi!
Have you managed to make it work?
I use my HTC Touch HD with WMWifiRouter for creating an ad-hoc wireless network.
My laptop can connect to it fine, and navigate the internet through it, while Folio 100 with Dexter mod 1.3d, connects to it but cannot navigate the internet
Any idea?
Thank You in advance,
Stefano
But this dont run for me, any tutorial to connect to an ad hoc? ?
I used the foliowidget after rooting the phone and it works just fine
i use it to control an ar drone

Hi all,
did someone know how to enable Wifi Adhoc compatibility on the Lumia800 ?
i'm unable to connect the lumia800 to a Wifi adhoc hotspot.
many thanks.
jp
I'm not sure about what you are talking about but if it is SFR WiFi, you just need to use the SFR app.
I can't connect to ad-hoc with an Omnia 7 either. I ended up just buying a cable router to connect to rather than my laptop. Annoying I know..
Any news on this? If Nokia won't let me teether my laptop, the least they could do was to let me use my laptop to connect to internet and then share it with the Lumia...
Wait... The OP is having trouble connecting his Lumia TO a wifi-network? Do I understand that correct? If so, I do believe the settings on the hotspot is wrong.
jbbandos: You should be able to do that already. I'll check when I get to my laptop, but it works at home.
The problem I have is that the lumia connects to a access point, but won't connect to my laptop ad-hoc network. So wifi works, but seems to be incomplete.
If I recall this is actually by design. The iphone and I think a number of android handsets also don't support it. Remember reading about it when people talked about parrot drones.
Which then had to issue an update to start a connection in infrastructure mode as opposed to ad hoc.
The exact reason for the lack of support kinda elludes me though. Could be a security feature to prevent drive bys and hijacks I guess.
As a workaround, there is this application called "Connectify", that allows you to turn your Laptop into a WiFi hotspot. Works fine with Windows 7 (and 8) and my Lumia.

I actually tried it on a WIN 7 X64 pro, I created just a adhoc network on my wifi adapter (both a unsecured/open network and a wpa2-secured one) and connected my lumia to that wlan using the settings below "WLAN -->advanced settings-->add a wlan network " and manually typed the SSID here. Connection succeded, can reach my laptop, but nothing more, cause my Laptop isn't a router.
So all you have to do is to create it manually on your Lumia.
If you want to use it to connect your Lumia to the internet, you have to setup your adhoc-network-device to forward the pakets from its adhoc-adapter to its internet-adapter.
