Its worked for me since last year!

Never knew tethering was an issue!

I don't really like wifi tethering, I personally prefer USB tethering.

Driver was free too. Oh, and by the way, I was being really lazy spelling EZ that way. It's actually EasyTether.

Found it. Now just having issues with the interface metric methinks... It used to always use my primary 'local area cxn' as that - the primary. Then I could direct programs to use the wifi at will.

However, with this... they are both 'local area cxn's... and they seem to be fighting for dominance. Some of my apps work, some don't. I'll plug away at some of the particulars, but hey - USB tether works - awesome!

So far, Android seems to be doing a better job of tethering than WM was doing. While in WM, often I would get a "Waiting for Network" message. I always figured that it had to do with the amount of traffic and bandwidth, but I switch over to Android, and BAM, its not a problem.

Ditto. WinMo sucks, but I think we all knew that already .

I got this link for the EasyTether computer driver from user m4f1050.
Download EasyTether drivers - EasyTether for Mac OS X, Windows, Ubuntu and game consoles
I downloaded and ran the 32 bit version. Now I have a small EasyTether icon in the same row as the time on the bottom right side of my screen on Windows Vista. When I plug in my Rhodium 400 while in Android, I get prompts to download drivers for my Android ADB Interface. I cancel these (I always get 3 of these), and wait for EasyTether to detect my device. Then I rightclick the EasyTether icon and select "Connect via Android(000000000000)". TaDaaaaa!

It seems like any program that try's to use GPS on my uscc tp2 causes a reset to winmo, weather bug, the android browser, and maps are a reset generator, overclocked or not. Everything else that not a listed issue works for me. Any suggestions?

Instant reset? I definitely haven't seen anything like that. I use maps and the browser a fair bit, and they both work fine on my Sprint TP2.

Navigation has a strong tendency to crash and reset my phone, but that's after running for a while, not right away.

it's crazy tried deleting the data file and The error is still there

I edited the title to make it a little more eye-catching, since it seems like most of the newbs are cruising right by this thread in order to clog up the build threads with their questions about why Bluetooth isn't working, etc.

Hopefully this will clean up the duplicate questions a bit.

If anyone feels this is inappropriate for me to do, I'll take it under advisement and reconsider.
