My home broadband connection, Streamyx is having issue again. It keeps disconnecting and connecting (DSL is not connected issue). So it is time for me to use my HTC HD2 as modem again. But I don’t want to use wireless connection this time, but going to try Wired Tether for Root Users. It is the same as Wireless Tether for Root Users but using USB cable instead of Wi-Fi connection. It is good for single user usage and can charge your phone at the same time.

Enable 3G data connection on Windows Phone 7 is exactly the same as the way on Android HTC HD2 (at least for me). But I can’t find a place to set MMS like Android in the same APN setting. Anyway, I don’t use MMS at all. I prefer to send email with attachment. By the way, there are lot of guides with lot of different settings on APN. Try them if you want. But below simple one work for me…
Guide to enable 3G data connection on Windows Phone 7
- Go to ‘Settings’.
- Then go to ‘cellular’.
- Click on ‘add apn’.
- Key in ‘apn’ at APN column. Note – you can key in any name you want. I selected ‘apn’.
- Leave User name and Password as blank.
- Click check.
- Make sure that you enable the data connection.
- That’s all.
Disable Wi-Fi connection. Your phone should connect to Internet using 3G data connection now. Enjoy…
My home broadband connection is down. Luckily, I have HTC HD2 with me. I can do Wi-Fi and USB tethering in Windows Mobile. But some of the Android ROMs cannot do both. So here is an Android application that can help those who like me ~ Wireless Tether for Root Users. It enables tethering via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. I did not try on Bluetooth mode but I am a happy user with Internet connection through Wi-Fi.

I don’t have a strong 3G signal at my place. And it used to turn to 2G EDGE when 3G signal is weak. Data connection is broken then and slow with EDGE connection. Network application by Philipp Mangelow manages to help to set ‘WCDMA only’ on certain Android ROMs with EVO kernel where I cannot set ‘WCDMA only’ in connection settings.
