Htc hero internet help required

Hi there
i am new to android i recently purchase htc hero prior to this i was using htc raphael touch pro
my query is
in my touch pro i was able to surf internet on my mobile through my pc using the active sync from my pc
is there any way through which i can use my adsl internet from my pc to my htc hero
please help

If I was at my PC, I'd use my PC for the internet!
But hey, horses for courses eh.
No its not something I've heard anyone mention before. I take it you don't have WiFi then?
May be worth investing.

From my understanding he wants to do the opposite,... The hTC link is to use your phones data connection to connect your PC to internet,... I think they want to use their PC's internet connection to be able to surf on the phone?

ahh okay, my bad.
if the pc has a wireless card but the router isn't, you can set up an ad-hoc wireless network - but thats not something I have done on my hero, only with my elfs.
I'll have a look and see what I can find on my lunch break

OK,... So what CaptainStu says might be possible,... try to do a little research yourself if you can and post back what you find,... Just to save CaptainStu some legwork.

done a bit of googling on my lunch -
http://android.modaco.com/content/t...704/reverse-tethering-and-the-t-mobile-pulse/ post 9 may be of use - but I don't know if you are using a Linux PC. I haven't tried myself, but it is interesting to see what can happen.

[Q] Android phones can't use reverse tethering?

I'm used to surf and download to my windows phone through bluetooth using the internet on my computer. I't can't be done with my new android phone?

I dont see why Android would want to waste their time with such inferior methods. 3G is faster than bluetooth. But WiFi is the option to choose.

I need this feature too.
I think the OP wants his laptop as the access point....not his phone (tethering). This can be done with WinMo phones. It is useful in places where there is no free WiFi....like in my workplace we only use LAN with our laptops. Whenever I connect my Desire to my laptop via USB or BT, I hope I could then update weather and download and install apps on my HTC Desire using my laptop's internet connection.

The only way to do it without some root bluetooth hacking would be broadcasting wifi from your laptop. Mac OS has this built-in in the sharing preference pane, Windows can do it but there are a few more steps. Nothing hard.

Thierry Parent has put up a working solution here ...

Droid Wireless Tethering
Google a program called gingersnap. it works. It gives super user rights. Be carefull your data usage will be high. Make sure you have unlimited data. you will also need to download a wifi tether program

Do you want to use your phone's internet for your pc? Then yes- it's possible with apps. (called tethering. search for wifi tether or usb tether in market or on xda...)
if you want to use your pc's connection - then probably not.

no i mean i donot have a wifi modem and i have adsl net modem and also with respect to battry problem in hd2 i prefer to use net with prob connection but many of builds did not have the internet pass through option
for this aim i like to know that is it posible to add this option to that kind of build as a for example apk software

I have the same issue,having the Internet Pass-Through function (which uses PC's connection on the phone) of Desire HD builds on the Desire builld would be great.

yap
its easy you can use your pc's wifi and turn it into a access point
and then using it trough the wifi
can't be easier than this

see,you left out the most important part: problem is that not all of the pc's have wifi!!!

There is also USB tethering, although you'll have to check if there's any builds with it working.
I don't bother with it as I use wifi tethering instead.

The program Connectify is working pretty good, to use my netbooks LAN connection as access point. Always use it abroad when in hotels without wifi and only wired internet. Works only with windows7 though.

I really feel the need to help the OP here. I don't have an answer to his question, but I do understand what he's asking for, and other people seem to be answering different things!!!
He want's to use a USB cable (not wifi) to allow his phone to use his PC's internet connection.
Tethering is irrelevant (that's using the phone's internet connection on the PC) and he does not have a wireless router so cannot use wifi on his phone.
In response to the OP, the only thing I've ever seen as a conclusive answer is that this cannot be done (there is no software that currently does it). That was an answer on a website from about 7 months ago though, and I am aware of the option on the Desire HD, so there is obviously a way to do it now.
I hope you find what you're looking for

IN the revolution HD 2.2 mdeejay NAND version - you have this option built in in this rom !!!
i used it - its working.

USB tethering is part of the Froyo OS. The problems you may have are that it does not work correctly with a lot of builds. Most of the HTC builds tend to work though.

Hmmm.... I also have the same problem.
I don't want to use the 3G Data connection for internet because it's expensive so it would be really useful to get internet through usb from a computer.
So far I only saw this option on M-Deejay's Revolution HD rom and for me it was kind of a heavy build. Worked kinda slow so I flashed a different rom which doesn't have the usb internet pass through.
I also tried Connectify. My phone connected to the computer's wireless but the internet didn't work. I tried disabling my firewall, opening ports, and other things but it just doesn't work. I think it has to do with the software not supporting all WiFi cards.
So now I'm having trouble getting on the internet with my phone to download apps. I have to go outside and look for some WiFi networks to do it and that kinda sucks

I think it finally works! I installed the latest Connectify beta version from here:
http://connectify.blogspot.com/2010/11/connectify-211-beta-up-for-testing.html
And it kinda works now! I think it's just a bit slow.

Does connectify work via USB, or is it just wifi?

[Q] not able to establish a HD2 (via wifi) to PC connection

Hey there,
im currently using the Future Shocks MIUI 1.14 Rom. Did anybody manage to use apps like android manager ? "http://lifehacker.com/5669722/android-manager-wifi-is-a-computer+based-synchronization-and-phone-manager"
i'm not able to use any software that is using wifi to connect to the pc. I don't want to use a usb cable all the time to put files on my HD2. It would be more easy if i would be able to use some wifi explorers.The problem is, that it's not able to get a connection. Tried it at 3 different routers, but it's not workin The integrated wifi sync function in the MIUI data browser is not workin either. Somebody is havin an idea?This is definetely not a rom issue. I'm havin this problem since Android has been released for the HD2. The strange thing is, it was workin with any sense build. I really need a solution fpr this
thx

no ideas ? really need a fix for this

isn't anybody of you using some wifi mangers/explorers?

Have you tried a Bluetooth connection instead? Wonder if that would work for what you need to do. I can sync my laptop to my phone thru Bluetooth.

Connecting My Phone To The Internet via Computer

Hello,
I am using an X10i. I've been wondering, are there any ways i can connect my phone to the internet using my computer's modem?
I am not trying to connect my computer to the internet by using my phone as a modem. Do not teach me how to do it. My question and that question are two different questions.
Thanks.

If u have a mac u can use its wirless as a hotspot if u connect it with internet cable. I do that for my phone. Hope this helps
Cheers

yeah ,turn your pc into a wifi hotspot..use softwares like virtual wifi router for windows 7
Note:it will work only if u use a cable to connect ur pc and have a jobless wifi in your pc..
you can also connect using bluetooth,i tried once but failed ,didnt tried much,it wasnt worth that much effort!!

pls dont be naive... not every wifi card supports wifi hotspot even with special applications and tools, and the native windows 7 could make only ad-hoc whis is not supported by android 2.1 or 2.2 as I know...I've read many forums and finaly bought wifi router and what I can say its that its really worth to have it...

yeah wifi card also imp..but most modern laptops and PC are quipped with such wifi cards
I can always use my Vaio for wifi hotspots with my X10..never faced any problems!!

It's not possible through USB. It possible with the stock function of win7 or software for your pc. (Only if you got wireless wifi card in it ofcourse)

I'm using Windows 7 native wifi sharing right now, it broadcasts as a regular wifi network with WPA-2. I use it for phones, consoles, etc

Because it will eat batter, no far distance supported and your internet will be ssssssssssssssssssssuper slow.

^^^This is true. At 2.1Mb/sec of throughput, the Bluetooth will be the slow cog in that wheel of connection.

AGAIN!!! Not every wifi card support it!!! I ve tried ale possibilities (ad hoc, bridge) without succeed...with ipod touch 2G, samsungs i8510, i8910 everything worked, so the problem is only with X10 and android!!! You could make wifi hotspot only with newer or supported cars (my NTB is 3 years old and has unsupported intel wifi card) so this is the deal...

It is possible on an HTC phone, so I'm a bit surprised that there isn't an app to allow us to do this.

I wasn't arguing that all cards support it, I was just saying that when it IS compatible with your card, it isn't adhoc.

Try using Connectify on your computer. It is free. If it manages to create the hotspot on your wireless card, your mobile will be able to use the new hotspot connection created. It has worked for at least 3 of my friends and it enables me to share connections on my laptop no matter where I am.
