Sprint HTC Hero :: Tethering To Laptop - Application To Do It?

Jul 2, 2010

I am trying to go wireless and get rid of my DSL I have tried US Cellular tethered, abysmally slow. I tried Verizon, fast enough, very expensive for what you get. Now I am trying Sprint with a Hero and a Samsung Moment to use as phones etc, plus tether to our laptop and desk top to use as a modem. The Sprint store personnel tell me that it can be done, just not something that Sprint will tell me how to do. One of the young ladies tell me that there is an AP that I can download to do it. She uses her Hero as a modem all the time. What would I need to do?

Sprint HTC Hero :: Sprint Hero And Tethering / Internet Sharing

Oct 5, 2009

I have been a Blackberry and Windows Mobile user for the last eight years. I am 55% sure that I want to get the Hero but I am not 100% sold. I am also considering the Pre. I know this sounds crazy, but the absolute #1 thing I need is Internet sharing and tethering capability; even more so than a phone itself. I must be able to connect my phone to my laptop, either by usb or bluetooth, and have it working in less than 30 seconds each time. I currently run Ubuntu 9.4 and Windows Vista/XP. My windows mobile phone works with all of these, and quickly.I have searched and searched but have found nothing as to wether the Sprint version is capable of thethering.

Sprint HTC Hero :: Connect To Laptop Via Bluetooth

Oct 20, 2009

I bluetooth'd my Hero to my laptop and here's more info on it.

1. The speakers on the laptop serve as a wireless speaker system when you make or receive a call.
2. The speakers also play music from your Hero.
3. Transfer files to and from the Hero
4. Send a fax
5. Tether!
6. PIM sync (hello WinMo users!)
7. Wireless printing

I've performed all of these functions without a hitch. So the Hero looks as if it's a better phone than anticipated... at least for me anyway.

Sprint HTC Hero :: How To Add Ringtones That Created And Have On Laptop's Hard Drive

Mar 11, 2010

How to add ringtones that I created and have on my laptop's hard drive.

This is what the Tips thread said:

To add new ringtones or SMS alerts, connect your Hero to USB and mount the device on your PC. Browser to the following folders:

Ringtones: /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
SMS Alerts: /sdcard/media/audio/notifications
Alarm Alerts: /sdcard/media/audio/alarms

However, I cannot find the media folder. Or maybe I have not even gotten to the sd card! I was able to add wallpapers and actually use them, so I did something right along the way.

So, if anyone wants to help a new android girl with this probably very basic task, please do!

I also synced all my contacts and my calendar from my GMail account. So, not 100% lame.

HTC EVO 4G :: Possible To Use Tethering To Create Hotspot Via Laptop?

Jul 18, 2010

I've never expiremented with ad hoc networks, nor do I have an EVO yet, so this might be completely far-fetched, but is it possible? What I'm saying is:

1. Use one of the free/one time fee tethering apps

2. You now have internet on your Windows laptop

3. Set up an ad hoc network to share your internet

4. Connect other devices to that network

Sprint HTC Hero :: Tethering - NES And Apps

Oct 30, 2009

Tethering - using PdaNet, works flawlessly. I have used it on forums and to watch videos. I am getting speeds between 1.5 and 2.0, not bad at all.

NESoid - works great, just make sure the background apps aren't running. Use the search and back buttons for A and B.

Apps - I switched from the iPhone 3Gs and found that any usable App from the App Store can be found in the Android Market.

I have not had any of the problems listed. All I have done is replace the messaging app with handcent's. I do a soft reset every now and again, but that is all the changes I have made.

Sprint and Android together = Awesome - I pay $60 a month with my discount and get unlimited to any mobile, 450 land line minutes, unlimited data and text message.

Sprint HTC Hero : Way To Usb (wired) Tethering?

Feb 14, 2010

I just connected my rooted hero to a network and noticed it does work but gets hot fast and losses power faster than it can charge. I heard about usb (wired) tethering but haven't been able to find any tutorials on it. Can someone tell me if usb tethering would make a difference in terms of heat and battery life, and if so explain how it works or where i can get it from?

Sprint HTC Hero :: Unable To Start Tethering, Please Try Again!

Jun 25, 2010

I recently flashed to the Fresh 2.1.2 rom, and i'm having trouble using the "Wireless Tether". I've uninstalled the one that came with the rom, and i've installed a fresh new copy from the Marketplace. But every time I've tried hitting the "tether" button, it says "Unable to start tethering, please try again!"

My superuser app isn't doing anything, this might be the problem. Whenever I open the superuser app, it's a complete blank screen.

Sprint HTC Hero :: Fresh 1.1 And Wireless Tethering Not Working At All

Jan 26, 2010

I am trying to use the wireless tether and it's not working at all.

I changed the ssid so that it's something that I can remember and be unique... I turn on wifi and mobile network... is that right?

Go back into the wireless tether program and push the tether button. It then takes me to the SU request screen and does nothing...

Normally when something needs root it pops up to allow access but it does nothing.. . Just wondering what am I doing wrong and why is this then turning off my wifi when I go back to check the widget it shows that the wifi is turned off?

Sprint HTC Hero :: Wireless Tethering Enabled / Unable To Open Page

Nov 9, 2010

I installed the wireless tethering app today and decided to play with it for the heck of it, I was able to set it up, and when I went to my laptop and hit refresh I was able to see the network, I then tried to connect and it would not connect, as it said something about a 13 key ascii so I checked to see and checked the password and still could not connect got the same error message, i then decided to disable the encryption and then refresh the network and tried to connect again, I was able to connect but was not able to open a page up, now i don't know if that was because my reception was not great but still would not open a web page, any suggestions, another note, it rebooted the phone about 3 times and froze the phone once, I am on the AOSP Mod ROM V 0.9.7. I know the Cat mentioned he got his to work, just curious if it was with this Rom or the CM6 one, any input would be great, just want it as a backup incase of in a bind.

Sprint HTC Hero :: Which SMS Application To Be Preferred?

Jun 15, 2010

I am sure this is old but, I downloaded Handcent at least 10 times already. I like the customization. It's the best SMS Application to me, but I'm not sure if it makes my phone run a bit laggy. I always go back to the stock app even tho its kind of boring, but very fast. I guess the question is, Is Handcent really worth it to you?
