But the arrive is a good device just a limited os in my view, so much potential though. thanks again

if its free id go for it if I were u. mango is coming soon and will bring tons more functionality. 500+ new features.

Well, although mango has the full capacity of tethering (by means sockets support), seems that the tethering apps wil be "banned" from marketplace.

This thanks the pressure from the carriers, same as in android "official world"
Tethering still missing from Mango [Updated] | wpcentral | Windows Phone News, Forums, and Reviews

The question is, if the xda guys can solve this, althought the clallenge is the sideload an unofficial app

Another quiestion is, if Sprint is following these bad pactice (block tethering apps). buy if not, there is high chance of this in a medium term

A final question is, if in Europe the tethering apps are not blocked, Can We do a simple trick in unbranded phones?, like it appears as an european device, and can get the tethering apps ?


Best regards

You are truly an ass!!...and people call Apple followers fanboys...You are the biggest fanboy/flamer I've come across on any forum!!! These forums are for getting help and expressing opinions...just because those opinions aren't yours fanboy doesn't mean they are wrong, stupid or not entitled to be here! You are the very definition of IGNORANT!!!

Y'all need to chillax on the flaming front...cuz y'all just sounding like a bunch of kids. And whilst I don't have the time to go into details I will remind everyone to be respectful of each other and to treat others as you would like to be treated....nomesayin'?

then if I were u id delete the post u made just before his because it makes u seem contradictory.

I also think this thread should be closed as the question has long been answered and the OP doesn't even post in/follow this thread anymore.

not sure how you know if op is following thread or not and when tethering is done using arrive maybe thread will get closed.

This really bites, I am getting so tired of this TP2 but I don't really wanna let it go for Android. I like Android and all but I just think WP7 has so much more to offer. Oh well, I may just have to bite the bullet and go androoski until the next gen wp7 devices drop. Tethering is the only thing keeping me from it.

You can't compare tp2 to evo. Its not even close. As for arrive, thats a great phone but still no tethering. This phone will be great with the new mango update but as of now there are lots of things that are lacking on it. You really can't say wp7 has alot more to offer than android. 2 big things, tethering and removable sd card. 2 reasons why I didn't choose wp7. But with mango and new wp7 phones all this might change.

Unfortunately, it doesnt matter what changes Microsoft makes, if they enable tether - the decision ultimately lies with the carrier, and as you can see above, the issue is with Sprint, not MS. grrrrr!

When will carriers get this?: we DONT want multiple devices (data cards) to do the same job as a single device that is already fully technically capable. And we are ALREADY paying for unlimited data. Get off your high horse, you fat money hogs, I am sick of this lock out. And I am disg.usted about charging more for less.

I miss my TP2, but only for tether. The Arrive is far superior in every other way.

I see a world one day where data cards are ditched like the 8-track as they should be, and we simply have our phones, with wifi tether, and that is defacto.

There are some very lame "you dont need tether" posts on this thread, btw. That needs to stop. Quit telling others what they need or not, when you have no clue. Not every area under the sun has wifi, but 95% + does have cellular - so yes, tether is needed, and stop chanting about how its no big deal. Its not about surfing the stupid web (that can indeed be done on the phone itself). What about connecting into VPN from my PC and getting files and documents from work? Can I do that without wifi or tether, or from the phone itself? No. Or how about staying at a hotel where the bandwidth is slower than 1998 dial up? Is it ok not to have tethering then? No. Or how about using ANY desktop app that connects to web services (which is dang near ALL of them now days) and wifi not availble? No, no, no! Tethering is aboslutely needed. Argument over.

btw, the only thing I loathe worse than tether block and forced data card crap is the SMS texting charges for those without unlimited plans. Charge you $0.25 for something that costs carriers $0.000001 to send on their network. Awesome. Would you pay per email? What if Comcast, Verizon, AOL or other ISP's start sniffing your internet use and charge per email? Or charge you just to have a netgear router in the house to share your connection for home devices (which they tried and failed years ago, thankfully)? Insane. That is NOT ok, yet we let these cellular companies walk all over us with exactly that same type of pattern. The only reason they get away with this crap is that people are so clueless about it, and just pay their bills and dont care. Need more people to wake the heck up and make noise.

Dont get me started on cable companies... charing per month per box per TV.... absolutey ridiculous. Again, what if your ISP charged you per computer? You'd be pissed. But if you dont mind about per TV, you are in idiot. What is wrong with people?

</rant>

I still love my Windows Phone 7. I just hate all carriers and their ridiculous schemes.

Tether is a must

Well hopefully I can stop the flaming and get this thread towards a positive goal.

Roachslayer I'm sorry to say I have to call bullsh*t

The drivers that were posted do not work with the HTC Arrive
However I'd love to be proven wrong
Drivers that do work can be found here
Tethering - Page 2 - xda-developers

Also other devices can indeed tether with Sprint so I do not think Sprint is blocking it but I could be wrong.

My results are interesting and it appears that an app may not even be needed to tether

If you want to mess with the dfrouter app your phone will need to be developer unlocked but as my posts show the results appear to be the same no matter with or without the app. There are threads around that go over how to develop unlock for free.

Also it appears the modem is dialing out I just have'nt gotten it to connect yet, may be a stupid setting or something I'm missing.

Please see the thread @ xda and lets solve this issue instead of sharing opinions.
