Has anyone done this with a standard HTC Desire.I've read this can only be done with a rooted unit which I don't want to do.I have a standard T mobile unit which I would prefer not fiddling with as I'm not tech savvy.

I've just purchased a 32gig Ipad Wifi Only and wondered if it would be possible to link this to a HTC desire (running Froyo) when I'm on the move? I understood that you could make the desire a wifi hotspot and connect it to laptop etc so just wondered if this would also work with Ipad
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a Kensington PowerBolt Micro Car Charger that supplies 2.1 Amps for iPad and it also works with iPod OK (the iPod draws less amps I assume). I need a charger in the car to supply enough power to use with HTC Desire with Google Navigator. Would it be safe to use with my HTC Desire in the car if I changed the USB-iPod lead for the USB-microUSB lead. Will the Desire only take as many amps as it wants or will I fry it!

To my knowledge, he was connected using only 3G (no 4G signal there). However, page loads were MUCH faster on my phone when tethered to his phone than when I use my own AT&T 3G connection.

And ironically, we decided to drop our land line last month. Now its like I've been plunged back into the 90's dialup days of can't be on the phone and Internet at the same time!
I'm using a mac and I just learned that tethered internet is only capable on a PC using HTC Sync. I was wondering if anyone knew a work around. I would prefer if the work around is free.
View 3 Replies View RelatedOut of curiosity is anyone getting wildly different results from their handsets speedtests vs their actual download throughput?On 4G when I do a Speedtest using either the FCC's or Speedtest.net application I fall between 200-250K/sec, if I'm lucky regardless of server. Often less. Upload always seems to pin exactly at 1mb/sec regardless of my signal.On the other hand when I tether I consistently get 300K/sec. I'm starting to wonder if the Sprint Hotpot application caps at 300K/sec?Is there something wrong with the Speedtest app? People I can compare with here at work get better speeds on their iPhones 3G using the handset test but get AWFUL, terrible speeds tethering with their iPhones.Is there a reason the speedtests app do so poorly? Anyone have any idea if the Hotspot App caps throughput?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm pleased to announce a very quick, hacked together proxy server approach which should let you browse the web (just the web, not the whole internet) from your PC via your tethered device.
I've tested on Windows & Linux and there's no reason (that I can see) that it wont work from a mac.
However, this is highly experimental and somewhat tricky to set up. It's also my first ever Android app and was built from scratch in the last few hours.

Is there a way to use the internet connection on my computer while i am tethered to it?

I could log back in to this forum, but I cannot log into any email, financial or social sites.
Seems to be some confusion on this issue. Do you know if there is a way to get the X10 to act as a "modem" of sorts when tethered, so I can use my laptop in remote areas where there is no land line or WiFi access (but you can get a cell phone signal).
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just recently started using pdanet when my high speed internet connection at home was having issues. Oddly i found it to be very fast and work pretty flawlessly from my droid. My question is during the summer i have a 2nd home which has no option for high speed connections, but does get 3g Verizon. I mostly would use my laptop for reading emails and teaching online classes through my college. Has anyone on Verizon ever had issues using bandwidth through a tethered device as i described? I know there is this on going battle of whether our unlimited plans are truly unlimited or not. I would not use massive loads of data but i do not want to incur problems with my service either. Love to hear your opinions.

View 28 Replies View RelatedI am torn because tonight I went into BB to look at a Evo to replace my wife's 2 year old and pretty worn out non-smartphone. My wife immediately said she wanted it and left me to play with the demo.Now I am wondering if I should be keeping my iPad...I want the Evo! But I love the iPad. I have been carrying it everywhere...even into grocery stores and restaurants. Took it to several doctor's offices yesterday...it was awesome. I want to mount it in the car. I am much more likely to go mobile with the wife and sit around and just wait on her. Today I worked out at the gym on a treadmil and browsed a magazine...will need to go back and read a couple of articles that I could only look at the Picts and large captions while running. Next time I will try an iBook that allows super large text. But time flew by quicker than it ever has and I hate working out at the gym...so this was really cool.I just want to be more efficient. I want my stuf online like docs and todo items and notes, etc. I am so frustrated with multiple devices and content everywhere.Is there room for a Evo and an ipad? We would have to pay more except that right now, I am paying for unlimited 3G so if I dropped the iPad 3G, it might be pretty close. I had planned on staying on the $15 plan most of the time...but AT&T pulled the fast one of the century. I currently have a Palm centro with ok tethering through dial up (hey it works when there is no 3G).
If I get the Evo, what would be come of my iPad? I already sold my first week purchase of the wifi. Would I really sell my 3G pad after calling BB 5x per day for 3 weeks? I have used the iPad for 3-6 hours per day for almost 2 months now. But a lot of that time has been here on this forum...and in getting the devices setup...which both have been very time consuming.
Here is a little comparison of the browsers. Since the iPhone is shipping with similar specs it should also be a decent comparison of it.
View 19 Replies View RelatedI searched around but couldn't find a recent answer to this. Is there still no way to tether the EVO to an iPad without rooting? I don't have an iPad, yet, but am considering getting one and don't want to the pay the extra money to have 3G built in (especially AT&T 3G). I'm not sure I want to bother with rooting my phone (other than this, I've not really come across any reason [personally] to want to root), but if that's the only way I might consider it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI feel like I'm dying waiting for my Evo to charge up connected to my laptop's USB port (yeah I know, paltry .5 A current, sigh).It then occurred to me that there were some articles about the iPad not being able to properly charge on some USB ports because of the high current necessary to power it. It got me thinking, if we wanted to very, very quickly charge the Evo, why not use the iPad's 10 freakin' watt charger? (the review says it can switch between .5, 1, and 2.1 Amps output, at the usual 5v of course).Has anyone given this a shot? Can we indeed use the full 2.1 amps to charge our Evos like no other?

View 5 Replies View RelatedMy husband bought me an iPad 2 and Im really struggling with liking it. He pd for 3G service because we don't have wifi in our area. The only way I want to keep this thing is if I can tether from my droid to my iPad. I don't want to pay another Internet fee. I have read other forum posts about this but can't seem to find anything about tethering using 3G instead of wifi. I have easy tether on my phone that I use for my computer and figured surely it can be used for the iPad as well. I don't wanna do all the rooting crap that everyone talks about either. Can't I somehow use the iPads cable to connect to my phone for Internet?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI currently have a Hero (Sprint). I have some money and am trying to decide whether I want to buy an Evo off Craigslist (I'm not eligible for upgrade until October--I'll just sell my upgrade then for ~$200) and sell my Hero, or if I want to buy an iPad and sell my Kindle.
I was hoping to get some feedback here from people who own an iPad and could be a little more objective on how they use it than the Apple Fanboys out there.
Cost wise the Evo would be a little less -- I could probably buy the Evo for around $350-$400 and sell the Hero for around $100-$150, whereas the iPad would run me about $530 and I could sell my Kindle for $200. It's fairly negligible difference though.
I don't live in an area that has 4g or will in the foreseeable future. I do a lot of web-browsing on my Hero and spend around ~30 minutes a day reading RSS feeds (NewsRob). I read a lot of news sites and blogs throughout the day (outside of RSS feeds) on my laptop. I don't really use my Kindle as much as I thought I would -- I've read a few books, but I'm not an avid reader. I spend 80% of my reading time on news.
I very much miss my BB Tour's camera flash. I don't carry a regular camera and miss being able to take low light pictures (not looking for anything spectacular -- just the ability to take group pictures of friends and such).
I've played with the iPad and it is fun, and I could see browsing and reading news articles been very comfortable and more enjoyable, especially on the couch or something where I don't have a table. Some of the games are pretty fun (Plants vs Zombies!!!). I don't get eye strain from staring at an LCD screen.
The problem with the iPad is I'm just not sure when I'd use it over the Evo and my Kindle/Laptop. It's large enough that I can't carry it without a backpack, and then at that point I might as well carry my Laptop and/or Kindle with me. I'd also have to decide when to buy apps for the iPad vs the Hero.
I have magazine subscriptions through Newsstand on my iPad, and since Google Play now offers the same magazine subscriptions for my phone I was wondering if there was any way I could transfer them over or have them on both without having to pay for twice the amount of subscriptions.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm an old Apple veteran who was rocking iPhone for about 6 years, starting with the original. However I wasn't due for an upgrade until December, so I couldn't get an iPhone 5 as soon as it was released... as fortune would have it, I found an ad on Craigslist where a fella was trading his Galaxy S3 straight up for a "iPhone 4 or 5". So we met at the Verizon store and I gave him my iPhone 4 32gb and he gave me his Galaxy S3 16gb with a 32gb SD card. Talk about a SCORE!
Anyway, I've been learning the Android ropes for about two weeks now. Here is my question/dilemma: at the end of the month we are taking a vacation to Las Vegas and Disneyland. I anticipate recording lots of video and shooting lots of photos at Disneyland.
I would like to be able to edit my videos using iMovie on the iPad, but I'm not quite sure how I can get the video moved over. I'd rather not have to lug my MacBook Pro across the country with me.
Can I use the SD card adapter for the iPad to pull video off of my S3's Micro SD? Or will it see the correct folder?
I thought about Dropbox, but can't find a way to move the video from Dropbox into iMovie. (grr iOS)
Is there a way to drive a wifi connection from the Hero to an ipad?
