Hi! i just came back from a place where there is no edge nor 3G. BUT there is a good signal !
I wondered if I could use my home (300km away) phone line and my home windows server to create a dialup connection between the remote place and my home, using my android phone as a 56k modem to have internet on a laptop at the remote place ?
I found nothing on the internetz on how to achieve that. Most of the applications and forums just talk about tethering, which is not what I'm looking for.
thanks for your help!
ps: I have an HTC One

Hi,
I am new to the forum and just upgraded to PPC2003PE with no problem. Set up my internet and all works fine. (at least I think. )
Anyway since T-Mobile here in the US has UNLIMITED Internet for $19.99 for the PPCPE, it would be good to use that connection with my laptop to get to the internet. Activesync does great using to PC's internet connection for the PPC, but there it does not work the other way around.
There should be a way to use the PPC as a proxy to the laptop if I am cradled, but I can't find anything that works in that way. Perhaps I should write one. But I don't want to reinvent the wheel. I have seen the wireless modem instructions, but since I don't have IR on my notebook, nor do I wish to go through the hassle of buying a serial either, just to find out I can't use my T-Mobile internet account. (I assume it might not work).
So my only other alternative is to find a USB solution. I would like to not have to disable my voice calls from coming through. The only way I can see to do this is the trusted relationship with activesync. Can anyone assist me in the information need to either set it up or write the program? My time is limited and I would welcome any help I can get.
Thanks,
Wade
Quick answer - It won't work - I've tried.
You can get very cheap infrared ports (with a USB / serial plug) which you can use on the laptop, and then setup the XDA as an infra red modem. Thats the only way you can do it - Sorry!!!

When I put my XDA in it's cradle and it is synced with my computer, I can access the internet over my own network.
But when I look under Network Adapters on the XDA, I notieced there are 3 in there. Now I wanted to set some stuff like IP and DNS stuff, but do not know what one I need to put the info into.
Also, why is web browsing still so slow when it is hooked up to my home network? It should be moving along pretty good.
BTW I am running AT&T's A20 ROM.
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
OK so work have blocked several of us from connecting our phones to wifi. Now we have a router her but can not access it so image they blocked at the main offices where they manage the network. Their are several houses that have their own routers etc but connected to the same network if that makes sense.
So my question is first how would they block us and second how can we bypass it?

Several ways to block access to a wifi routers.
Ways to access the network would be bring your own from home,and plug it in to the network.
To many ways to block you out to know what they have done.

Probably two reasons why they did this -
1) Prevent rogue devices connecting to their network, i.e. devices they cannot control what is on them and therefore could introduce viruses into the network or allows others to hack in and steal data etc.
2) Prevent people connecting personal devices for personal use, downloading files, facebook etc. Using company time and resources for unproductive personal tasks.
Probably easiest to ask them why and to ease the restrictions.
On the how:
You can control what connects to what on a very fine level - by device, by what it does and who it can talk to.
Ye I understand why. They blocked us as their network is really slow and rubbish but when we do nights and no one is using it its nice to be able to connect as no signal their. Just wondered if their was a way to get around it. They seem to have blocked all phones that were connected but one that was has been able to reconnect which is a blackberry.

How to by pass works blocking phone 2 options
By pass I've discovered! May not work for all
WARNING TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK!!
#1 way I've discovered (in my office)
(Other wise try bring your own wifi router and setting the ssid to company's name )
If you have a pc or Mac computer and plug Incoming Ethernet port into LAN port not WAN then from 1-4 LAN port into pc/Mac Ethernet )
Try hiding your wifi router either in tower box or in desk try to be not so obvious leaving cables everywhere , don't just leave out in the open for everyone to see..
What I did
(I've hide the router in the under my desk using 3M double sided tape and tucked the cables away so there not hanging down)
#2 way ( works anywhere you can get a wifi signal)
My. Discovered by pass :
I got a wifi repeater/ range extender
I've programmed it to my work network with their ssid and password
Then
On the repeater / extender
Your new Access Point
I used the same ssid but used a different password
(At this point you have created your own AP , which logins to your network wifi and then
Now
When I go home I just unplug my repeater and lock it up in my desk
Good luck Jason
Ps: option #1. if you need more help try YouTube if your confused what to do with wifi router
SEARCH "using old router as a wifi extender (or as second AP)
My boss already block ssid wifi for usage at handphone, only laptop can connect that wifi. How i can connect wifi via my handphone? Currently i use i phone 6s.
Any trip for unblock for connect to my phone?
What kills me about my situation is some dumb ass did streaming video one day and ran up like XXXX gb of data so naturally they started giving a damn about who was doing what... I got banned/blocked even though I've never streamed... I'm assuming I'm blocked... got the right password and my old phone said authentication failed. My new phone it doesn't say or haven't found where it says yet... I can't bring in my own connection as I don't have a office of my own and the building is too big and metal for the mobile signal to make it to my location...
edit: According to my idiot boss they're getting strict I guess and just blocking most stuff... ?
"How did you happen to do such thing - and on your last day at the job..."
hi, I have a weird question. I currently have ATT DSL service at home. I am curious is there anyway that I can use my existing free WiFi account from my DSL with my phone or tablets?
thanks
Do you mean connect to your home wifi with your phone?
That's easy, just turn on wifi in Settings and connect to your home network.
oh no, what i mean is if I am on the go, I will e able to get WiFi access on these mobile hotspots using my existing DSL account. I konw that with ATT DSL, they provide us free WiFi access on our laptops. I am curious if that can also be used on my mobile device like phone and tablets.
The reaons I ask is because I do not currently have any data plan on my phone so I cannot use any of the phone's hotspot feature. So I am thinking if I can just use DSL accoutn for WiFi so I can still access the net via my phone or tablet as oppose to laptops.
I think I know what you mean now.
If you sign in through the browser on a laptop then you can probably do the same thing with your phone browser.
If they try to block mobile devices you might have to use desktop mode in your browser.

thank you for the reply. Mmh, I do not think that it works as it will not display the log in screen. I will try the desktop version to see if it works.
anyone has tries this?
When I connect to a wifi network that requires web page login, as soon as I connect, it tells me I have to login and you can tap it and it will take you to the web page.
