Urgent: Touch Pro2 WiFi not showing on HP TouchPad Tablet
 

On my TP2, I have WiFi turned on and WiFi Router turned on. But on my HP Touchpad tablet, it does not show up my TP2 WiFi.. Note: it shows up on my regular laptop. Please help...

Re: Urgent: Touch Pro2 WiFi not showing on HP TouchPad Tablet
 

last I learned from reading , the tablets don't support ad hoc networks . its not your phone its the tablet . go search online for your specific tablet and the support for ad hoc networks . I don't have one so I can't :| sorry

Re: Urgent: Touch Pro2 WiFi not showing on HP TouchPad Tablet
 

Thanks for quick reply. Is there a work around or hack to fix this? Thanks!!

Re: Urgent: Touch Pro2 WiFi not showing on HP TouchPad Tablet
 

well if you know what your doing u can use windows mobile wifi router (costs money) and set up a network that isn't ad hoc . Or you can like I said before check online for the support or hack/fix for your tablet . I gottta go back to work now though hope you get it working !

how do I use Touch Pro 2's mobile wifi router?

Re: Urgent: Touch Pro2 WiFi not showing on HP TouchPad Tablet
 

you mean the HTC WiFi router ? I'm not exactly sure . your best bet would be to search online for your tablet . find a forum or something . cause to configure the phone to be an actual router can be confusing .

I think the OP is asking about WMWiFiRouter the app.
OP WMWifiRouter is a paid app that you would purchase. You can download the trial and then pay or just purchase and download on the Marketplace or from the developers site.

I wasn't sure since he called it touch pro 2 router :P

Re: Urgent: Touch Pro2 WiFi not showing on HP TouchPad Tablet
 

Does WMWiFiRouter would do the trick to connect my TP2 phone with HP Touchpad?

Re: Urgent: Touch Pro2 WiFi not showing on HP TouchPad Tablet
 

i believe so , as it worked for my PS3 . however its not the easiest thing . you have to configure wmwifirouter to not connect via ad hoc . thus the settings are not automatically configured , which means you have to configure them manually .

android frx7 has the bulitin WiFi teathering working and it is non ad hoc works for me and its free!!!

Re: Urgent: Touch Pro2 WiFi not showing on HP TouchPad Tablet
 

How do I get Android FRX7 on my Touch Pro2 phone and/or HP TouchPad?

Re: Urgent: Touch Pro2 WiFi not showing on HP TouchPad Tablet
 

Could someone post the settings needed to get WMWifi Router working as a non-Ad hoc connection. It could be a potential stickied thread. :)

I can't seem to find any way to fix this.

There is no known way to adjust the files in the HP touchpad to look for ad_hoc connections from what I could discern from googling...only for android tablets atm.

As far as I have read, WiMo phones have no way of broadcasting an infrastructure wifi signal versus ad_hoc.


Which would make you think all hope is lost....but when booting up android from a TP2, it works perfectly tethering to the HP touchpad..

So hopefully there is a way to carry that ability over to windows mobile running on the touchpro2 as it doesn't seem to be a hardware issue causing the problem.

WMwifirouter only does adhoc. You'll have to wait and see if anyone ever comes out with a patch or supplicant for webOS/TouchPad to connect to adhoc networks.

WMWiFiRouter allows you to connect to another network . I was able to connect to the wireless router we have at home with WMWiFiRouter . then WMWiFiRouter pushed the internet connection to the actual router . I went into the routers configuration and was able to share my connection that way to my ps3 . I'm guessing you need a regular router to do this then . let me check out WMWiFiRouters forum site .

Removing Windows 6.5 from TP2 phone and booting to Android, how hard is it? Does it cost anything to upgrade to Android?

Will Sprint find out and request me to change the current plan I am on now? Thanks!!

You can't remove WinMo 6.x and replace it with Android. You install Android to a 2GB or preferrably larger storage card and then boot into Android that way. It is free. Just follow the steps using the info in the Android on TP2 forum here.
Sprint won't find out or do they even care so there's nothing to worry about.

I am almost certain that if you installed and used the Morose Media WMWiFiRouter app on your WinMo device and configured it so it functions like a public WiFi access point similar to what is available at your local coffee shop you could connect your tablet to it.

yes you can ! NAND boot !!! :)

Oops! Sorry, forgot about that option. ;)

Re: Urgent: Touch Pro2 WiFi not showing on HP TouchPad Tablet
 

The touchpad does have a wpa_supplicant file..but does not seem like anyone played with it yet...

for now infrastructure tethering via android is the only way I can think of.

Re: Urgent: Touch Pro2 WiFi not showing on HP TouchPad Tablet
 

Looking forward for a solution as well.

when I use my touchpad with my ns4g for hotspot I have to turn off all security setting (android) for it to work perfectly.

Re: Urgent: Touch Pro2 WiFi not showing on HP TouchPad Tablet
 

I picked up a firesale touchpad too. Looks like I've got a good reason to get android going on my TP2 now.

Anyone got wmwifirouter to work yet?

Re: Urgent: Touch Pro2 WiFi not showing on HP TouchPad Tablet
 

what you mean by firesale touchpad ?

Re: Urgent: Touch Pro2 WiFi not showing on HP TouchPad Tablet
 

@elesbb he means that he got one of the touchpads during their dirt cheap sell ,I'm not getting one tho until there's a way to get W8 on it.

Re: Urgent: Touch Pro2 WiFi not showing on HP TouchPad Tablet
 

PPCGeeks.com » HP TouchPad has been discontinued, Now being clearanced away at 99$!

pretty good deal for a tablet considering the specs..so far it runs webos, and people have gotten linux apps working on it such as google chrome(desktop version) and other linux apps...and Android port will be an option soon too..

I got one but waiting for HP to deliver it, they claim sept 9th :/

Re: Urgent: Touch Pro2 WiFi not showing on HP TouchPad Tablet
 

that's a steal ! especially since you can put android on it ! dang wish I had the cash !

Re: Urgent: Touch Pro2 WiFi not showing on HP TouchPad Tablet
 

I have XDAndroid FRX7.1 on my phone, where do I download WiFi apps to connect my TP2 to HP Touchpad tablet? Thanks!

Re: Urgent: Touch Pro2 WiFi not showing on HP TouchPad Tablet
 

when you're in android go to settings,wireless& networks,go down to tethering & portable hotspot and click on portable wifi-hotspot.I had trouble trying to get it to connect what I did next was after you start the hotspot go back in to configure wifi hotspot and change it to wpa2 psk and save it,it seems that was the only way I could get it to work

Re: Urgent: Touch Pro2 WiFi not showing on HP TouchPad Tablet
 

Froyo 7 works well for me although I get disconnects pretty often...but, a nice solution.

Android lets so many programs run in the background and task killers are only brief fix. There is a good free memory manager on Android Marketplace that works well though. Keeps speed reasonably fast.

Unless one is heavy app user, it baffles me why folks would want to use Andoid over WEBOS. Have used my HP Touch Pad for 2 weeks and love WEBOS multitasking via desktop card system (esp. after overclocking to native 1.5ghz and adding preware performance tweaks - about 6 of them).

Re: Urgent: Touch Pro2 WiFi not showing on HP TouchPad Tablet
 

Which tether app are you using in android? Froyo 7 or 7.1?

Re: Urgent: Touch Pro2 WiFi not showing on HP TouchPad Tablet
 

Was using Froyo 7.0. But now, for some reason, it wont connect!!

Well, it does connect to TouchPad with blue checkmark on wifi card, but I get no interconnection issues when I try browsing.

Help!!
