Guest Nick1964 Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 First of all, I am dyslectic, I can't use keywords so easy. Tried to find it here but no luck. Is there a way to use my android phone's internet connection to connect the internet with the vega ? I tried the wireless tether, but can't solve it out .. Normally at home I have no problems,I use my own network. But when I am on my way, there are almost no open networks in the Netherlands. So when I visit someone, I always have to ask them, may I have your wireless password please ? Is there a way, wireless or by usb cable, to use my HTC Hero's 3G connection to connect to the internet ? Can someone point me in the good direction ?

Guest trevor432990 Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 If the hotspot tip above does not work then you could try following the numbered instructions in this topic just remember to change the adb instructions to start 'adb-windows' rather than just 'adb' if you have used default location for Modaco downloads. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It turns your phone into a wifi access point. To bad, that app is not included on my HTC Hero 2.2 android... I tried it with the wireless tether but that says that not all the component could be installed,it needs root access.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmm that's strange I thought all handsets with Android 2.2 Froyo running had the portable WIFI hotspot. It also depends which network you are with. I know Tmobile and Giffgaff don't allow any kind of tethering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WelshPhil Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) The latest Fyro 2.21 has wifi hotspot as a widget, tried on my wife's Wildfire and it works well, and is pretty dam quick Edited April 12, 2011 by WelshPhil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lennyuk Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 The hero can't run wifi-hotspots like that, it can only create ad-hoc networks. You can tether a hero to the vega, lots of people do it. what rom is your vega on? you may need to flash a wpa_suppliment to get it to see ad-hoc networks.

Guest simonta Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Cough, cough. I feel embarrassed correcting Lenny :) wpa_supplicant is what you need. I think all of the custom ROMs now include it but you can find in on here, just search for wpa_supplicant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
