I have to initiate a data connection with PIE or Opera before I click connect and plug via USB into my laptop. Anyone know what registry hack is needed so that I don't have to initiate a data connection first?

for bare minimum:
you need to at least delete the extension key,
then you can either set the force connection key to sprint, or just delete it...

-or-

you can just install the cab from post #1

Thanks bro. Deleting the "extension" key worked. I can just click "connect" and attach via USB and the phone initiates the data connection without any issues. Works on both my desktop and laptop. I'm tethered as I post this reponse.

Thanks,
Richard

Yes I am aware. They prevent the phone from going to sleep during tethering.

If this is all that needs to be done, can anyone confirm what the other reg edits are for???? DO they have anything to do with being charged or not?

If half the reg edits don't have anything to do with tethering, what do they have to do with? Thanks for the info ( and the cab).
