Am I correct in assuming you can only use the Active Phone Feature on a 3G Flyer and not the WiFi only Flyer?
Well you can WiFi Call on the flyer but not via phone app.
Thanks for the clarification.

Hello.
I recently just got an HD2 but it is network locked.
So I just use Google Voice and it serves me well but when I'm not in a wifi zone I have to use my G1 which now isn't as great as it seemed to be last year
BUT
I can tether from my G1 and use it on the HD2 so I can use Google Voice no matter where I am.
Here is my problem
The HD2 does not pick up the tether. It picks up my house wifi etc etc just not my tether. I tested my tether out on a separate HD2 and it seemed to pick it up fairly quick. I've tried changing the Channel to multiple channels but nothing.
Any reason why?
Thanks for quick response if anyone could help me before I have to leave for work which is pretty soon =P
really?
*bump*
Could I make it work with bluetooth tether?
(is it supported through another rom or something)
I'm n dire need of an unlock code since I can't tether if anyone can help me get one through T-Mobile ( since I don't know anyone with a T-Mobile account) please PM me please. I'm in need of one.
Can you see your tether from another machine? (like laptop or desktop)
Perhaps your G1 send out a hidden signal (not broadcasting)
In that case you should try directly editing the WiFi name and manually adding (without finding the WiFi network) the settings.
Also you could try to make your G1 "unhidden".
Just some thoughts...
"I tested my tether out on a separate HD2 and it seemed to pick it up fairly quick"
It decided to show up today. Thanks Wilco.
Ok the HTC Amaze came out on Monday, and wondering is there any way that some one can port the rom or the script that enable us to use the wifi calling??
Can't answer that but there's other solutions out there.
Googlevoice and GrooveIP do this.
I just want some confirmation here (after reading every possible thread on it)
Is there a fix/solution or way around the tethering and wifi hotspot.
Before I go and upgrade my line for this phone I want to make sure that I can use Wifi Hotspot.
I am currently on the MT4G and can't live without hotspot.
I am not the only one who connects to my phone for internet.
I definitely need to know that it will work without me having to pay extra for tethering AND wifi hotspot.
Please let me know if you can personally confirm that you got both tethering AND wifi hotspot working.
Thanks a lot guys.

It works for most people but not all, a definite solution for everyone is being worked on

Closing.
I've just bought the Flyer Wifi the day before yesterday and I just realized that, with the Android installed (Gingerbred 2.3.4) it's is impossible in any way to connect the tablet to my phone (Htc Desire-Bravo) which has 3G. Neither with wifi nor bluetooth. Googling around (without making any test since I'm in time to give the tablet back if I'm not able to solve this problem) I noticed:
conectin to my Desire via Wifi tethering (through apps such as wifi-tethering and 5 more that I tested on my Desire) is impossible since these apps setup an ad-hoc network that it's not supported by the Flyer Wifi: in fact, in wifi settings the new wifi network (APAndroid) showed up, tries to connect but never get the ip numer;
sharing my Desire internet connection through bluetooth PAN seems to be also impossible since there are no PAN-client apps for Android
My question is: if I upgrade to Honeycomb I will be able to share my internet connection either via wifi or bt? (remember: Desire server, Flyer client).
I have just few days to decide to stay with the Flyer to give it back to the dealer and this issue is the most important one for me.

EDIT: Opsss!!! I've just realized that this is my first post! Sorry, but it's like I'm at home in this forum even if I don't participate so much...
There's a modified wpa_supplicant file floating around here that allows ad-hoc connections. I tether to my Atrix all the time.
Much more easy than I tought... I upgrade my Desire ROM to one of the last (Runnimede I think) and without anything else tethering with the Flyer now works. Next step will be doing the same with bluetooth, but, at the moment, that's enough to keep my new tablet!
Will this work for a view as well? I'm having the same issue.

As a newbie I am at a loss as to how i can resolve a number of issues i have with my flyer so please be gentle .....
My flyer says.it has
Android 3.2.1
HTC Sense 1.1 for tablet
Software Number 3.55.405.1
Kernel 2.6.35.10 Baseband 20.4801.30.0822u_3822.10.08.07_m Build 3.55.405.1 cl205068 releasekeys Browser WebKit 534.13
What I know.....
1. GPS never works, it is always 'searching' but never finds
2. WiFi works OK
3. Mobile HSDPA says Signal strength -75 dBm 18asu at the moment and I do not have a Wifi connection available so i was expecting all my connections would route through mobile connection (as i enabled 'Always on mobile data') but nothing that requires a connection is working ?!
4. I recently accepted an auto update for the OS and now I do not have the Icon target for the Pen even when i use the Pen tutorial !!
I have read the HTC user guide for the Flyer but it does not even come close to explaining how the connectivity works and all i want to be able to do is maintain a connection thru either wifi or GSM at all times yet is seems that even though i have a working SIM in the device (which has credit and says it is connecting) it never works when i don't have wifi. There is also no 'connection overview' page that i can find that tells me what connections are working on my flyer (GPS,wifi,GSM etc) and what strength signal they have !!!!
All advice, help or pointers gladly accepted at this point for any of the above queries
thnx
I am not sure if there is a solution short of gaining s off or HTC dev unlock or rolling back to gingerbread
Flyer
Thnx for the reply
Is how to do any of that detailed in this forum anywhere plz?
If you want to downgrade there is this

I think either way you will want to gain s off so that you can freely flash roms and hopefully solve your problem. There is risk though.
So if I understand you correctly you have no WiFi and very weak data connection? Has it always been this way?
Flyer
Don't know how to 's off' ? Is that a setting on the Flyer somewhere?
I am sorry I was not specific enough. What I should have said was that the Flyer functions fine on a Wifi connexion as far as i have seen but when there is no Wifi connexion available then i expect it to use the SIM card data connexion (GSM). I had set this option on the flyer under 'Wireless & networks \ Mobile Network Settings
I also do not appear to have anyway to see what connexions are in use for any of the apps or what signal strength is currently available for 'active' connexions
Can you not just go under settings then check wireless and networks? And what was the bit about the pen?
S off is not a setting you just click off, it is the process of unsecuring your bootloader which I do not suggest for you.
Have these problems always been there or are they new? Did you just get the flyer?
Flyer
In the settings that i have it only says 'Turn On' wifi and 'notify when open network is available' but it gives me no idea of the signal strength of any network (wifi or GSM or even GPS)i am connected to so i never know when i am switching betwen wifi or GSM or even which i am using for any app (IE, Weather, SKYPE, etc)
The pen icon was appearing when i first got the flyer but now it does not appear anywhere at any time in any app!! funny thing is it actually works when i use the tutorial up to the point where the tutorial tells you to tap on the pen config icon ... it is not visible !! I think the pen got trashed when i accepted the last update from HTC
GPS never works regardless and i was under the impression that GPS does not need either wifi or GSM to function!!
Yes, i just got the flyer a week ago
This will be a stupid question but you have an active sim in and you are sure it is a 3g model? I would first suggest running the hc ruu for your device which I know you do not know what that means and it may be hard to find
Flyer
Regarding cell network connectivity: If the Flyer was purchased for anyone but your cell carrier, you probably need to manually enter the APN info for your carrier. This is a common mistake by people who buy unlocked phones, etc. from 3rd party sources. Its easily fixed, and much easier than S-Off, RUU, etc. (which won't fix your problem anyway, if its simply caused by missing APN). You can get your carrier's APN info often by just Googling for it, or just call your carrier and ask for it.
You should find the APN info in Settings>Mobile network, or something like that (I have the WiFI-only Flyer, and its also not with me, at the monent).
The missing pen icon is odd. Does the pen do anything if you touch the screen? Make sure the pen still has battery, and try taking the battery out and re-inserting it. Factory reset may also help.
Did not think of the apn angle
