Re: Tethering with the new ROM
 

I am a totally newbie with my Sprint Mogul and this forum. I just updated my phone with the new ROM. Correct me if i am wrong about the steps for tethering.

1. change registry
2. connect the phone with laptop via USB cable
3. goto Start>Programs>Internet Sharing>...then, choose either "Phone as Modem" or "Sprint PCS"?

thanks

Welcome here....
You got it. If "Phone as Modem" disappears "Sprint PCS" will work also.

Re: Tethering with the new ROM
 

ah, dont you have to start the ICS "before" you actually connect USB cable?

Re: Tethering with the new ROM
 

No I dont start it first.

Re: Tethering with the new ROM
 

I had ICS working on my 6700 when my cable Internet died. It died again today, so I tried ICS on my 6800 running DCD 3.0.1, and no go. :( In the registry, Extension=rilphone.dll was already removed and MaxCMConnectRetries was already set to 0. In Internet Sharing, I have PC Connection set to USB and the only pulldown for Network Connection is Sprint PCS.

A couple times I was able to see the Status go from "Check USB cable connection" to "Waiting for Network" to "Connected" for only a couple seconds, but then it goes right to "Disconnected".

I think when I did this on my 6700, my PC found a new USB network connection and configured it automatically. In Device Manager, I don't see anything like a USB network adapter now, should I?

Obviously my PC Internet connection is working now or I wouldn't be posting, but I'd like to be prepared next time it goes out. Am I missing something, or is there a complete tutorial on ICS somewhere?

Thanks Mach30SiR !!! I used to get the error 67 when trying to use connection sharing on Sprint rom 3.56 but now with the fix above it works fine so far !!!

Re: Tethering with the new ROM
 

I just read through my statement and I switched from my Verizon $45 plan to the $30.
I tried to tether and I got the "sign up for $30/mo Broadband access" screen. The next thing I know, now I'm paying $30 for web and email and $30 for "broadband access".
I had Verizon take the $30 "broadband" service off. So I'm back to the splash screen when I tether to sign up for the plan, which I don't want to do.

The ##778 doesn't work. (The Verizon lady says, call cannot be completed as dialed.)

I'm using the Sprint rom but on the Verizon network.

[quote=Lsme420;214495]InternetSharing WM 6.0:
Go to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
Then Delete "Extension"="rilphone.dll"
then change "MaxCMCon.... from 1 to 0..
MaxCMCon might be 0 already if so its cool.

InternetSharing WM 6.1:
Go to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
Then Delete "Extension"="rilphone.dll"
After that edit the dial "Phone as Modem" to "Sprint PCS"
MaxCMCon will already be 0.


I tether with just unlimited data plan and have not had issues. I wouldn't recommend downloading torrents (GiGs of data) as I feel it would eventually ruin it for all with the "Free" tethering. I know you didn't ask but here are a few more I use with every Rom.

Undock Keyboard
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip\Now
go to DragStyle and change (0) to (1)

A-GPS reg edit
HKLM/Software/HTC/SUPLAGPS/
GPSMode --> Change to 4 (orginal value 2)

faster web browseing..
HKLM\Comm\Tcpip\Parms and changed the TimerWheelSize to Value of 5 from 11

Rev-a
Dial ##778#, choose edit, enter your MSL, go to Data Parameters, Choose Rev. A, Choose Enable/Disable jury is still out on this one but there is a Rev-A thread already so look HERE for your own conclusion.[/does this work for Verizon 6800?]
