I know that my Verizon XV6900 does not have wi-fi. Is there a way to get wi-fi on the phone?

There were talks of trying to adapt a Wifi SD card to the phone, but it is a project that was abandoned due to the lack of drivers for 6.5 for the card.
Thank you for that information. Too bad they didn't continue the project.

There is one more thing that I was looking at today, which is a set of host USB drivers for WM (Zeno Host USB Drivers). If the dev can add capability for radio devices to be attached, then it would mean that we can add something like a USB network adapter to the device. I will ask around and see if it can be done.

Hello evryone newbie here i want 2 know if it is possible to connect the xda to the computer to use broadband rather than using my 02 contract? help would be great. Keep instructions simple if possible as i am new to this.
Connect via docking cradle and it connects to broadband byitself.
If you have BLUETOOTH on your pc - it should connect wirelessly ok via this too.
Do you have bluetooth on pc?
i dont have bluetooth on pc but how do i select to use broadband as apposed to selecting just normal gprs.
Thanks for your quick reply

Give over
Hold on a second boy....I did the honorable thing that all newbies should do and i used that little button called "search" in which i searched for all things realted to broadband and xda2. Nothing helped..slightly too complex for a "Newbie". So what was i to do?, had i known it was a crime i wouldnt have posted a straight forward question in which i greatfully recieved a straight forward answer. What however was pointless was your post which is:
1. A pain in the ass.
2. Cocky and not relevant.
3. An indication that you my son have far too much time on your hands to go around hassling newcomers (who YOU once were!!!) who just want a little bit of help with thier brand new xda 2 and dont want to hoke throu thousands of posts in the off chance that i may find it intime for the xdaIII.
Amen
P.S. Whilst searching i found a topic entitled: How to post a message in a forum, without double posting?......check it out :!:

Nice one matey, there's nothing like slapping down cocky buggers when they need it, and I see from his previous responses that he does! If you can't help, keep it shut! The search option rarely helps, it just brings up too many random finds, it's quicker to 'rely on the kindness of strangers' as the lady said. The bluetooth option works well, when you get the right product, I struggled for months with a bloody belkin card then went mad and blew another £25 on a usb dongle from USBtech.co.uk, worked like a charm right out of the box. Just sync via bluetooth from the options menu on the xda. I can't see much point surfing with the bugger in the cradle though, but I think you just tick 'Allow network and Remote Access Service in Connection Settings in Activesync on the PC, I could be wrong but I'm sure someone will tell me.
Cheers
Re: Give over
Hey, I'm not being cocky. I'm no expert either, but I managed to find out how to do it without asking, so I'm sure you can too.
For starters, how about these three topics for connecting to the Internet through your USB cradle? Took me about 30 seconds to find them.

There are even more topics about Bluetooth connections and Internet access. If you search other websites too you'll find loads of info.

Fair point. Guess that's what comes from posting using the XDA2...
And Bully: Your post offered nothing more useful to d4vel than mine did, except maybe some moral support of my imagined cockiness, so I'd suggest you follow your own advice: if you can't help, keep it shut.
You win cocky-boy xx
Sorted
Now isn't the forum a better place now that we have our fued worked out. . Sublimatica thanks for your help and Bully thanks for your support. Just to let ya's know i have sorted out browsing with the cradle and got bluetooth sync working too.

Hello all, I have been in the Blackberry world for a few years so I am a little out of touch on WM. I have spent about an hour with the HD2 and I am sold. One thing I noticed is the lack of Wifi Router. I know the European version has it and I would like to know if it is something easily ported to the US version? Thanks for any input and if this is a stupid question I am sorry, just haven't been on the WM scene for a while.
P.S. I know I could use WMWifirouter but I would like to try the HTC app (also help that its free).
I suppose it depends if there is a Sim free version made by HTC.
The version we have in europe is a different model.
If there is a sim free version made, there is nothing to stop you from flashing that ROM to a T-Mobile branded device (in theory).
That should give you all the functions HTC put in.
the o2 uk version doesnt have it either. I shoudnt worry, its readily available.

Wifi Router is part of a pack available at the above link.
I installed it on my TMOUS HD2 and it won't connect with my laptop I verified the wireless settings match but my laptop keeps saying to check the router...
i dunno, won't work for me...

make sure laptop is seeing it as an ad hoc connection, not infrastructure.
Is that a joke? What adhoc? It wouldn't work for me either (LEO). I can not see it from my laptop, no DHCP or static IP with the router SSID forced either.
Nevermind restart fixed all problems and that's really ad hoc!
Hey I have what's called a htc wifi router. Do a search for that. I'm pretty sure I have picked up the .cab from this site. This program works great tho.
im useing the router to send this! thank you much!
I've got an Alltel Touch- I don't want to use it as a phone- I want to use it as a WI-FI internet Device. I think the phone has wi-fi capability- but the Alltel ROM disabled it????.....It there anyway to wipe it and Start fresh w/o the alltel ROM??? When I hard reset it, it immediately says "Alltel is customizing your device", and proceeds to load the Alltel ROM...Help!....Please!
The Vogue has no wi-fi
Look under the ROM section for ROMs...
@Jerry,
As scotttr mentioned, the Vogue has no hardware for Wifi. The Elf (Vogue's GSM counterpart) is the one equipped with this feature.. If you are going to flash something, first make sure that you are flashing onto the correct device or you will break your device.
hi, long time reader, signed up just to post this.
Currently running NFSFAN WM6.5 1.00 Final, wondering if there is a way to substitue bluetooth PAN for Wifi. Can i create a PAN/PANU on my desktop and use it as an internet/isp source for the Vogue?
Thanks in advance, even if answer is flat out no. if it IS no, please explain why? i'm the curious type and would greatly appreciate the additional information, as it might stop me from making future stupid posts.

you can find it here.
they are a bit harder to make but worth the extra effort as you don't waste any usb ports.
and it looks nicer offcourse.

I'm trying to run v0.3, but getting stuck part way through boot. My kernel is in a panic
Will update when/if I can convince it to keep calm and carry on.
[EDIT] Panic over. Must have been to do with the folder name on the root of the SD card. Did not work with "linux", "ubuntu", or "UBUNTU". But works with "LINUX".[/EDIT]
I was running it before I switched to NAND android. I was really surprised by how responsive it was,i thought it would be more laggy. Can't wait til MAGLDR can boot it

yesterday i updated that page, you can find a link to a step by step guide now.
here it is
talking to the mods for how to handle this on the board, we decided to put the same manual here on the board to give support for the people trying to build them.
but under the android general and QaA section, as this should work there to and on meego and on other models of phones.
links are gone be added to both the ubuntu and meego helpfull links section.

Is there a way to load ubuntu from magldr correctly ?

not reported so far.
the only wifi problem seems to be related to channel 12 and 13, so check if 1 of those is in use, if yes, change and try again.
plopper
couldnt manage to change channel, "no such device" but 2 days ago i could find wifi network, just couldnt to join it, and now theres nothing. I tryied to find with wicd and by terminal. Always there was response like i dont have anything to join network with.
But now thats my second problem, because i want to use wp7 720p recording (so i dont need to buy mini hd camera but wp7 sucks if i want to "work" on my phone so im trying to find some way to use wp7 and be possible to boot ubuntu. Any ideas of something like this possible? or maybe theres a wp7 bootable just like ubuntu? :> ( dreaming )

Please check your router settings. I had also trouble with the connection to my router. I find out that the MAC adress of the HD2 is different when WIN is on ore Ubuntu is on. After i take the new MAC adress to my Home network everthink works fine.

I did something like this before but it didn't seem to "take" for very long...so far it is so crossing my fingers.
My next problem is the internet sharing...I can enable it and connect devices to it but it doesn't seem to actually share data as the connected devices cannot get any data from the focus....help!

Should be related to the above issue. Fix that first and check afterwards.
I've done that already but there was no change with internet sharing...im not sure how I enabled it in the first place...
