Fast questin:
A friend has a HTC Touch HD whick he can use as a mobile internet connection for his computer using the 3G in the phone and a USB cable.
Is the possible with the Hero?
If not, would it be possible to make a app for that? I mean, the whole phone is opensource, so it should be possible?
It's called tethering - it's built into Hero, though I believe you have to use HTC Sync on your PC.

To sync it to PC, do i need any software or is it plug and play?
Never acculy synced my hero to my PC since i rl dont need to when i have andorid marketplace
Do i need any software on my computer to sync the Hero?
*woops, doubble post >.<*
Yes hero can be used as a modem, you need to instal HTC Synch on the pc first, then plug phone in and drivers will be installed via htc synch. I find after doing it on a few boxes you need to reboot the pc before the phone will give an IP address to pc at this initial instal. In settings/wireless controls on hero you need to tick mobile network sharing - this becomes available to tick when plugged to pc. Note there is a newer version of HTC Synch on the HTC web site than the one supplied on the hero's memory card - both worked for me.
To Synch - yes you need HTC Synch installed.
If you are using MoDaCo's custom rom you can use an app called Wireless Tether which lets you tether through wifi/bluetooth,so no need for a usb cable.
Wow, thanks for all the answears
cool, tethering over bluetooth
anyone tried this on linux? I start like feeling to flash that rom after all. HTC's ten days take soooo long...

I just wanted to ask the same question. i'm a linux user and wanted to share internet with my laptop.
it was hard to get it working with WM (i never got it working)
If you install the Android SDK you get a tool called "adb" which has this in its -help output:
Code:
networking:
adb ppp <tty> [parameters] - Run PPP over USB.
Note: you should not automatically start a PDP connection.
<tty> refers to the tty for PPP stream. Eg. dev:/dev/omap_csmi_tty1
[parameters] - Eg. defaultroute debug dump local notty usepeerdns
So it might be possible, but I don't know how exactly.
I did thetering over bluetooth and infrared with my touch dual wm device and ubuntu laptop. Worked very nice. I know it is easy over usb, but given the bluetooth support in Android, i doubt it will work over bt.
Hmm, iv'e installed HTC Sync (the version that is on HTC.com/support) but when i try to sync the phone to my laptop my phone says it didnt fint HTC Sync on windows... even though its insalled and opened on my computer...
What to do?

HTC Sync does not allow you to use the Hero as a modem. HTC Sync is used to sync Contacts to Outlook or Windows Address Book! I got this information from the HTC Sync user guide downloaded from the HTC website.
To use the Hero as a modem, you must use PDANet or root your phone and use some other tethering application.
So then there is no way I can use my Hero as a modem?
Since I dont want to root my phone and PDANet is not free(I live in sweden and can not buy apps yet)
Please see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544352. Apparently it works with HTC Sync on Windows and it works with the standard rndis driver on Linux.
The Windows/HTCSync method is also mentioned in the manual that came on the /sdcard of my G2 Touch (chapter 6.7, "Verwendung des Telefons als Modem" (i.e. tethering)). See also the screenshots on http://blog.brightpointuk.co.uk/using-htc-hero-usb-modem.

Wrong I'm afraid! Hero has tethering out of the box and *does* use HTC Sync, albeit just to install NDIS driver. (see http://www.htc.com/uk/faqs.aspx?p_id=283&cat=0&id=108516&f=t )
There is no requirement to install any other tethering app, or root your phone, though you will need to do this if you wish to tether via WiFi or Bluetooth.

did anyone actually succeed in this?
HI,
I still have not been able to tether between my ubuntu laptop and my rooted hero without a cable. I have tried using bluetooth with wifitether and with wifi ad-hoc network, but none work.
Is it even possible to pair a hero with ubuntu?
Sorry if this has been covered before, I can't search the firum right now either the search is down...
I am trying to pain my HTC Hero GSM to my newly brought TouchPad, but have encountered a snag-It won't detect the WiFi Tether whatever app you use
Looking up online I've read this is because the Touchpad wont support Ad Hoc WiFi services, only Infrastructure based WiFi service. Can I get this running on the Hero?
I have a voip router[linksys rtp300] and a wireless router that is behind the voip [Belkin wireless g plus mimo router]. I have a canon wireless printer[mp620] that I'm trying to connect.
I downloaded the manual for the Evo and it said the printer cannot be behind a firewall. That is not a option for me, I really need help on this one. I searched the forums before, and nothing came up.
I attempted to manually add the printer, entering the ip address but could not find a port number on my printer.
Thanks for your time and help.
hi.
so i have a HTC Desire HD, on orange UK.
im running a webserver from my laptop for development purposes...
i was wondering how i can access it from another internet connection while im tethering?
(assuming my router has port 80 forwarded to the laptop) i am easily able to gain access to the web server simply by navigating to http://<my.ip.add.ress>/ from another internet connection....
how would i go about doing this while tethered to my phone? i assume it is possible, as a torrent client seems to be able to upload and download while tethered... i assume it would be something to forward internal port 80 access through to my laptop? :S
when tethered, both my laptop and phone have the same external ip address, so im assuming it would all be done through the hotspot stock app on my phone...
any useful information would be great, thanks..
internet usb pass through possible like htc one X?
we have no wifi here only lan internet connection
i can do this with my htc one x no problem
but im wondering if this is possible thru sgs3?
There's a usb tethering option under portable hotspot options.
So that's a yes.
I do believe it's a core OS thing anyway so unless it's explicitly removed by your carrier it should be there regardless of phone. (Running ICS at least)

what i need is my s3 get internet from my pc that is connected thru lan for internet. the thing youre telling i think is for using the s3 tethering to use your mobile internet data to give internet to the pc itself, correct me if im wrong
