Tethering/PAM?

[canestim]

Has anyone used the Intrepid for tethering/PAM yet? I haven't had a chance to but I want to set it up to use occasionally.

I know for the Mogul/Diamond/Etc. you had to make this hack to the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
Extension="" Delete the "isext.dll" entry

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\settings]
ForceCellConnection="Sprint"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
MaxCMCon=0


I only see the MaxCMConnect in this directory for the Intrepid. Don't see the other stuff. Has anyone found any Sprint hidden stuff to stop tethering like on previous WM phones?

Use the ACE tethering hack. (search will find it)

I didn't want to draw a lot of attention to it because it seems like the carriers are starting to get wise to this stuff.

I searched for the ACE method and it's basically the same as the one I posted. And like that one those values are not in that registry folder:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing

there are entries "Value Name: Extension" and "Value Data: InternetSharingEx.dll"

All you have to do is blank out the Value Data. Remove the field, InternetSharingEx.dll. After that, reboot the phone.

Like the Diamond hack basically but the values are not in that registry folder on the Intrepid. Only value in that registry folder is MaxConnect or whatever it's called. Did Sprint give up or did they get smart and move the values?

I only use tethering maybe 1 a month for a couple of hours if that. Not going to pay $60 a month for an air card and I don't even believe they offer the PAM plan anymore. Not that I would pay $15 a month for a couple hours either.

Those values are there for me...tethering works...not that I use it more than a couple of times a year.

Haus do you have this registry value?:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\settings]
ForceCellConnection="Sprint"

I have

HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing
Extension = "" (blanked by me)

Under settings, I have MaxCMConnectRetries = 0, and nothing else. maybe I deleted something else and forgot about it, but AFAIK I just used this:

You have to select "Sprint Data" as the network connection when you run ICS, by the way.

You should post this under tip and tricks or is this too risky?

Sorry, it does not work for me. The info here does not say whether the data connection has to be established prior to hitting Connect, like in the HTC Pro, but I tried it both ways and it just hangs there with a message "waiting for network" but never connects

Tethering is not working on the intrepid?

Has anyone tried the cab discussed here at xda developers?

I have also attached it.

Hope that helps.....

(PS: also let me know, since I am considering the intrepid! It works on my treo pro.)

It does work. You have to do the single regedit, then open Internet Sharing, select "Sprint Data" as your connection, and go.

Has been working for me since the day I got the phone. Once in awhile I have to initiate the data connection manually (by opening IE or something) but that is rare.
