Hi,
as we (or some of us) know, Internet Sharing in Mango requires the WiFi chipset to be able to work in AP mode.
I found that OEMs were using two chipsets: Broadcom 4325 (a/b/g, BT, FM) and 4329 (a/b/g/n, BT, FM).
The difference is not just in the missing N in 4325, but also lack of AP mode.
I will be checking today all (most) of the devices that I will get my hands on their ROMs to see, what chipset they have and make list of them here.
BRCM 4329 equipped phones that HAVE wifi hotspot working
- Sammy Omnia 7 - info
- Sammy Focus - info
- HTC Mozart - in 5.01 ROM! Use the same method for unlocking as ^
- HTC Titan -- aka all new Mango launched phones
- HTC Radar (Omega?) -- aka all new Mango launched phones
BRCM 4329 equipped phones and are WAITING (aka support AP mode):
- HTC HD7
- HTC 7 Pro
- HTC Surround
- HTC Trophy
- LG E900 (missing SoftAP in drivers)
BRCM 4325 equipped phones (aka unable to support AP mode):
UPDATE: Unknown phones, under investigation!!
- Dell Venue Pro
I might be wrong somewhere though!
Thanks to Snake. for few more devices!
