On a separate note how can you tether using a Mac?

From the main screen press Menu> Settings> System Updates> Update Profile.

If you ever experience a loss in service, Error 67, not receiving sms/mms do a profile update. Not only does that re-establish your data connection with the network but will also update device programming if incorrect. Also a good old power cycle can do the trick.

This error should rarely (if ever) occur if your device has been properly programmed and registered with the network. If you don't have any luck run it into a Sprint store and have someone check the programming. You can also dial *2 to get to customer service to troubleshoot over the phone.

I got the same thing a few days back. I power cycled the phone each of the 4 times this happened. Haven't had a problem for 3 days now. I don't tether.

stormcell if you are getting data error messages without trying to tether update your profile or call as that means your data on the calling plan is not setup right.

That Error is Sprint's network..not your phone...I had the same issue..went away a few hours later...when I tried to teather my TP2...didn't work so I gave up...

Ok I called Sprint today on this because I was getting pissed off. Here's the deal I was given: Internet Sharing will work in 4G only because the authentication (for the extra fee) hasn't been implemented yet. It will not work in 3G unless you are paying the extra $30 a month for tethering. DUMB.

Now I came from WM platform, and I'm loving the switch, but there was always a way around this with the stock Internet Sharing app on all of my touch pros. It was basically a registry edit that changed the conenction type in Internet Sharing from "Phone as Modem" to "Sprint" and would just use the regular data connection.

Has anyone made this fix for Android yet?

I don't want to hear about PDANet, it sucks. Another guy in the office here was using it on his evo yesterday, we were sitting next to each other and i was tethered on my TP2. I was getting download of 1.2 meg per sec and heas getting 300k per second. same server, everything.

We shouldn't have to pay for tethering OR an app to handle it!!!!!! These contracts are bloated enough.

Sounds like there was something wrong with the PDANet setup on your buddy's computer. I get the same speeds on my phone, as I do on my computer, when tethering, using PDANet. And there has to be an app to handle tethering. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to tether. That's what the sprint hot spot is. An app. The share internet option when you plug your phone into the computer is an app (one which sprint disabled, however).

As a side note, I am able to access https with the free version of PDANet. When I go to my bank, I see https in the address bar, and I have no problems accessing the site. Maybe it's some other type of https?

when the free version expires you won't be able to go to secure sites, only nonsecure.
