Internet Sharing on the Imagio

[racedog]

Just like the tp2, the Imagio has the internet sharing executable in the windows directory on the phone. VZW just hasn't provided a link to it but that doesn't mean it can't be used for tethering. Its done the same way as on the tp2 so I'll just post those directions in this section.

First, make sure that you're running .net 3.5. If you aren't download it from below and move the cab to your phone and install. Then reset.

Then download the file explore extension cab and move it to the phone and install. Reset again.

Open File Explorer and ratchet down into the windows folder and look for the file named IntShrui (should be 21.9k). Click on and hold the stylus (or your finger if their small enough) until you get the options screen. Select the option to put the link into programs. That's all there is to it. Once you're done you can add it to the start screen or wherever and you'll have a link to internet sharing.

R

NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab

File Explore Extention.CAB

Is this like tethering?

[daroga]

Is this something you'll have to pay Verizon to use or is it just using free software to use what they would charge for otherwise (ala Google Maps vs. VZ Navigator)?

you still have to pay to use the data. This is just a free way to tether rather than using verizons tethering software for 15 extra bucks a month. Also from what i understand this doesnt have a 5gb cap. so its truly unlimited.

Here's another way of sharing your internet:

I'm using the HTC CM Wifi Internet Sharing. It turns your phone into a wifi router. this modify version is integrated into the Comm Manager so makes it a lot easier to use. Here's how I got it to work on the imagio:

1. go to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=543380
2. download and Install AssassinsLament_Wifi_Sharing_v1_1_1_2(Slot6).CAB
3. use a Registry editor and Modify this registy key
"HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\CommManager\"
"SupportedFunctions"
from value="0000006" to value="0000007"
4. reset device

I used the Total Commander registry Editor. you can the download it at:
http://ghisler.fileburst.com/ce/tcmdpocketarm.cab

by changing the value to 7 it allows the Comm manager to show the wifi router on the 7 slot. Just make sure you get the Slot6 cab, because the slot count starts at 0. I been using it for about 2 days now without any problems. I 'm not sure if vzw would charge me extra for doing this.

If for any reason you would like to uninstall it, use a task manager that show all the process running and kill commmanager.exe and connmgr.exe before trying the uninstall, otherwise the uninstall will fail.
you can get Taskmanager 2.9. at:

kortez, I know this is a really old post but the info in post #6 was really simple and works like a charm. Haven't messed around with any regedit stuff for awhile and enjoyed the refresher. If you're still around Thanks!
PS; anymore little nifty regedit shortcuts you care to unload I'd be happy to pass along. Thanks again!

So you can use this with the $30/mo data plan and have unlimited tethering? Does Verizon notice this and do something about it at all? I don't plan to use it much if at all, but it would be a neat option to have.

It is still 5gig (since that's the cap on the $29 pda internet).

I've not heard of anything negative happening to anyone from doing this or the Internet Connection Sharing work-around
