Tethering on the Arrive?
 

I just ordered myself an HTC Arrive coming from my Sprint Touch Pro 2 and I was wondering if any sort of tethering is possible? Wired or Wireless?

How To Enable Tethering In Unlocked HTC WP7 Phones [Update]

might give ya some answers.

Re: Tethering on the Arrive?
 

Thanks for the info, seeing as how I don't have the arrive yet I'm not sure if I can really do this or if it can be unlocked which I'm pretty sure is necessary for all these hacks. Anyone know if the arrive can be unlocked?

Re: Tethering on the Arrive?
 

but the current unlocker does not support the 7389 build which is pre installed on the arrive unless they updated it.

Re: Tethering on the Arrive?
 

well it doesnt have one built in. lol

Does the HTC Arrive with Windows 7 offer a tethering app? - Yahoo! Answers

not sure on this one?
HTC Brings WiFi Tethering to Windows Phone

Re: Tethering on the Arrive?
 

So you all cant thether. How do you all get by? Go to McD?

I was thether to my laptop and in my car for hours on my TP2. Its still going n going.

Re: Tethering on the Arrive?
 

Just curious if anyone has attempted this or any other method of tethering. Just received my ARRIVE today but have not activated it yet because I use my TP2 for my internet connection. Thanks.

Re: Tethering on the Arrive?
 

That's only for WM5/6 :\

Right now it's not easy to get the arrive to tether. Hopefully it will be easier soon. Thats the reason I haven't tried wp7 yet.

Re: Tethering on the Arrive?
 

This is only for unlocked phones, which the Arrive isn't yet (that I know of).

It would work great on my Surround (if I still used that phone lol).

Hopefully it won't take long to get NoDo unlocked. The funny thing is that I just upgraded my Surround to NoDo (unofficially) and it kept it unlocked.

Re: Tethering on the Arrive?
 

Maybe the gal that unlock the Touch Pro 2 might be able to do this.

I guess time.

How long before Blu-ray got unlock? Its the same thing.

Re: Tethering on the Arrive?
 

How much longer before there is a tethering? Anyone knows?

Re: Tethering on the Arrive?
 

It's not that big of an issue. The browser in the arrive is worlds better than the one in the tp2 so there is less of a need to run to a PC.

Re: Tethering on the Arrive?
 

lots of people dont pay for internet on pc and tether is the issue.

Isn't there a hack for all HTC phones, or is the arrive too new?

Re: Tethering on the Arrive?
 

yes there is and yes its too new or its the build # causing issues.

here is a quote why: "Currently there's no way to tether it at the moment because it has the NoDo update installed which does not support the unlocker which would have made it possible to tether"

not my words so not sure on facts but he does have one.

Re: Tethering on the Arrive?
 

Isnt unlocking a problem on this phone also?

I read each time you connect to Zune it reset?

There was a work around for that, but I think the nodo update killed it.

Re: Tethering on the Arrive?
 

Have to respectfully disagree. If you're in spot without wifi, teathering with the TP2 is very handy. Seems like an advanced phone should at least be able to do all the things the predecessor phone can do.

Re: Tethering on the Arrive?
 

I have the HTC Arrive and love but I did lose the Hotspot capability when I lost my HTC TP2. I love that ability.

I hope a hack comes out to allow me to do what was easily done on the TP2, turn my phone into a hotspot to connect ipad and other devices on the fly. It wasn't fast but got the job done when needed.

Re: Tethering on the Arrive?
 

Do miss the ability to tether, had a TP2 since day 1 ran and ran the Enery Rom. This is great phone compared to the TP2 but I certainly look forward to being able to tether down the road. Of course the TP2 was a pretty fun phone!

Re: Tethering on the Arrive?
 

This is the only reason i do not get the phone yet... I have no idea how Sprint does not cancel me givin the amount of data I pull down every cycle through my TP2. I can not live without my internets on my laptop and I hate using the WiFi's, the 3g's are so much better :þ Man someone out there knows how to tether the Arrive and they are not sharing :pale:

Re: Tethering on the Arrive?
 

its coming im sure, give the hackers some time with the phone plus updates are a issue im sure.

Re: Tethering on the Arrive?
 

What makes me nervous about the whole thing is that on my TP2 with Energy I have an app that makes wifi tethering possible without extra cost (for app or bill) and this app even works on my other stock TP2... so if a simple app works fine on unlocked or locked stock phone running 6.5 how is it so difficult to make/run an app on phone7??? I dont even have access to look at the phone7 marketplace to see if there is a paid wifi tether app available. I have been wanting this phone since last year and waiting sux

Re: Tethering on the Arrive?
 

jaja at least spell tethering right. and for starters the tp2 couldn't be tethered out of the box anyway somebody had to find an exploit and then apply it. the same @$$ thing for every damn smartphone out there. the arrive is no different.

Re: Tethering on the Arrive?
 

Except for the fact that the Arrive is supposed to be an upgrade for the TP2. Buyers of the phone shouldn't have to wait for hackers to add features that were built into the old phone. BTW, TP2s could tether from the start - HTC had a utility you could download right away. WiFiRouter was also out there to download. No hacking necessary.

Re: Tethering on the Arrive?
 

No one has found a way to tether a developers unlocked Sprint HTC Arrive yet??? Man I need this. Anyone, anyone!!?? Help!!

Re: Tethering on the Arrive?
 

The Arrive was never intended to be an upgrade for the TP2. It is a completely new OS. Obviously you haven't read too much about this, have you?

Re: Tethering on the Arrive?
 

How long before the blu-ray encryption was broken? How long before Xbox 360 was modded?

OK, lets see how long before Arrive can be tether.

Where are all the hackers for Arrive? LOL

Re: Tethering on the Arrive?
 

Let's see - WM 6.5 - Windows Phone 7. HTC Touch Pro 2 - HTC Arrive - same screen size, pretty much the same keyboard. Just like Windows 3.1 - Windows 95 - Windows Millenium - Windows XP - Windows Vista and Windows 7 weren't upgrades - right? Why has Sprint been sending me e-mails suggesting I upgrade my TP2 with the Arrive?

Anytime a vendor puts out a new phone to replace an old one it is an upgrade. To pretend otherwise is facetious. Will MS keep supporting WM 6.5? I think not. The company made a conscious decision to "dumb down" the software to prevent customization and other features - to force customers to buy MS - just like Apple does with the Iphone. Ballmer has been quoted as saying WM 6.5 supports a phone inside a computer, but W7 supports a computer inside a phone. That is MS's right to do and your right to like - just as it is my right and apparently many other WM 6.5 users' right to dislike.

Re: Tethering on the Arrive?
 

if you owned a tp2 then yes it "should be" a upgrade is all he was saying, not a official upgrade but you would think you could tether by now.

Re: Tethering on the Arrive?
 

best post i have seen yet in wp7 forums.

Re: Tethering on the Arrive?
 

I don't feel that way. as said there's maybe only a couple things at best that I miss from wm6.x and I found a way to live without them and workaround them. to say that one is being "forced" to buy MS is really a fallacy
one is NOT FORCED to buy anything u can choose the rhapsody or grooveshark service instead of the Zune service if u want but it won't be as good and all are cheaper and have more functionality iTune$. I didn't even read the rest of these posts here but why bother? its just a bunch of negativity towards MS and WP7 over tethering. you guys seriously need to get over yourselves no OS on the market currently or previously has had a free tethering method out of the box and without exploits. can't wait till carriers start busting people for doing exactly this and I'll be laughing my @$$ off.

Re: Tethering on the Arrive?
 

tmobile has free tethering on my girlfriends completely stock unmodified Nexus One with a regular $60 a month plan. She tethers an iPhone all the time and tmobile has never contacted her once about it.

Re: Tethering on the Arrive?
 

Glad that we can be a source of humor to you, but I would suggest you get out more. <g> This discussion is really more about what is important to particular users than what the phones can or can't do. I, for one, don't listen to music or watch videos on my phone - the screen is far too small for my poor eyes. But if music is important to you, then I can see the benefit of Zune.

On tethering, I've used it for over ten years. Every phone I've had during the period could do it "out of the box." Sometimes I paid extra, sometimes I didn't since it was already in my plan. Whether it was free or not has not been a consideration - the speed has been too slow to do anything but e-mail, audio streaming and simple browsing. For MS and HTC to produce a new phone without this capability is news.

One more thing, I and others here like MS - we've been using it for years on PCs and phones. If we didn't care, we wouldn't be posting here in perhaps a vain hope that someone will be listening and will fix our issues. Otherwise, we'd just be jumping to Android.

Re: Tethering on the Arrive?
 

then u need to post this over at MS answers where u can be heard. no MS reps come here I don't think

Re: Tethering on the Arrive?
 

How about we take a little at a time here

That was cute…You just made me realize how long I’ve been in IT…BTW you forgot Windows 2000(between ME and XP)

Because they are trying to sell you a phone so you can extend/renew your contract….Sprint did same to me when the EVO, EVO Shift, and finally the Arrive came out

I had a really good response to this part but lost it all when I hit submit….so since I don’t feel like re-writing it I’ll just say we will agree to disagree on MS intentions with WP7….

Re: Tethering on the Arrive?
 

The rush to market prevented MS from including all the functionality that iintended by the vision. I think patience and resolve will reveal a superior device, in all respects, to all of the others and be used on form factors that contribute to the particular users needs. I, too, do not video, game, or otherwise play with mine, however I do need the keyboard as I have with every model prior to this and beginning with the PPC6600; unless, of course, you include years of iPaq-tethered-to-a-Nextel-Phone usage prior to that when I used the iPaq qwerty. My daughter, however, has some more sophomoric needs, but also prefers the slider for emails and Word/Excel Docs. So the needs are very far across the spectrum with all users. People who have only, recently, begun using these devices can probably do great without a physical keyboard because they will just begin by using the on-screen and I can see that, if I did like to watch videos and play games, I would definately want to do it on a 4.1 inch screen rather than the 3.6. People like what they like and that is why there are so many form factors. Corporations are buying, literally, thousands of Arrives (and TP2's prior to now) to accomplish their enterprise goals with MS authorized custom ROM's that companies like mine are creating. This device is just the next step for the line of form factors beginning with the 6600, 6700, mogul, TP, and TP2 and there are many companies that have been with this line for the entire run. We service them. Hope this helps clear up some of this for those who don't understand.

Re: Tethering on the Arrive?
 

We will have to agree to disagree. I guess MS just intended to write off all the TP 2 users who miss WM 6.5 features in W 7 and let Android grab them, right? And, the fact that the Arrive is just so physically similar to the TP 2 is a coincidence? As we say in court, don't let the evidence of your eyes fool you!<g>
