Tether with Sprint Touch (just want simple answer plz)

[dishe]

as long as this is off-topic already, check this-
I happened to pm kaos about how he may be mistaken with the 624mhz thing, and possibly doing harm to his cpu (since the controls for xscale are different, and who knows what those direct instructions will do on a different chip that doesn't support it?).
Told him either he made a mistake, or he's the first person to ever overclock an MSM7500.
Here's what I got:

Hmmm, well, I'm going to have to go ahead and doubt that.
I know a thing or two about the Qualcomm CPUs these use, and they don't have the scaling multiplier the other mobile chips have.
That doesn't mean overclocking is impossible, just not very likely with the current set of software and tools available. And even so, it wouldn't be an exact number of 624Mhz.

The biggest giveaway- 624mhz is a seemingly random number, one which happens to make sense with the Xscale multipliers, but not with any other chips (the higher level samsung chips for example, could reach around 600 mhz and higher, but never land at EXACTLY 624. The reason for that number to exist in Xscale is because of a certain combination of multipliers relevant to only that cpu architecture). This is why you never see any other processor, PC or mobile, at 624 Mhz. Your phone doesn't have an Xscale, so that number makes no sense.

Either you're running software not made for your device and getting zero benefit, or you are running a "beta" of software written by someone who thinks the same rules apply from the xscale (which don't) and therefore still are getting zero benfit.

Bottom line: do a benchmark test to see. If its significantly faster than it should be, I'll eat my words. Otherwise, you really should take it out of your sig cuz it makes you look ignorant.

Exactly. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.

I really have never gone on about someone like this (and I feel a little bad), but I really love this guy. His CPU speed is now listed as 924 MPH...

Just goes to show, acting like a badass/knowitall will get you called out by someone who knows more (especially on the internet).

[justpctech]

hahaha! my god...this guy is SOOO SMART....cant stand it. man... better watch our rep...probably going downhill again now.

that is sort of funny though....MPH

Wow this thread is too funny. It's guys like this from whom I get my inspiration here...

can't we all just get along...

on a serious note....so if I understand correctly (which I'm probably not) the steps are to get "free internet' using my sprint touch as a modem is

1. Open my internet connection
3. Start ICS (which I haven't figured out how to do yet....can someone explain?)
2. Plug in my phone to my laptop via usb cable (my bluetooth on my phone AND laptop are both on & I have activesync on it)
3. Voila I should be able to surf?

You should have an app in your programs folder called "Internet Sharing" (ICS=Internet Connection Sharing). Select the appropriate drop down boxes for USB or Bluetooth, and select Sprint PCS as your network connection. If using over BT, your computer must support the PAN (personal area network) profile. There are lots of threads with in depth explanations. Search for "tether," "tethering," etc.
