Hey thanks tarheelB&B! i had been on the phone with verizon and in a store today for hours and all they wanted me to do was Hard Reset my device till it magically fixed itself, just dialed ##778 and plugged in the numbers for NAI and DUN NAI in the M.IP default profile and it worked right away

after some 6 hours of research i have found why icscontrol does not work. the program was written, as i understand from the xda forums, on the basis of a touchscreen end userie WinMo proffessional. This is why it wont work. However, installing the ICS cab from this thread http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...=tethering+vzw seems to make wmwifirouter work. I may have to splurge and buy wifirouter if the developer doesn't fix ICS for the Ozone. I would much rather donate to him than wmwifirouter.

wmwifirouter needs ICS to be installed for it to work. You start ICS first then start wmwifirouter. ICS does work on my Ozone. Options can not be changed in the drop-downs but when you hit connect. It will establish the connection. It works for both USB and WIFI via wmwifirouter.

Yeah, so the issue is and has not been weather or not ICS works. And unless yoou are talking about using Wmwifi router as a wifi connection to USB or 3G to USB (I have not tested these) you do not "need" ICS. The WMwifirouter program is suffiucent enough. I know for a fact that you do not need it for any of the other connection features.

The program in question is ICSControl NOT ICS. ICS control gived the user the ability to use ICS in all the fuctions that wmwifirouter now does. And its free. I know that ICS works on the Ozone. ICS control does not work for the reasons mentioned earlier.

Also ICS is for creating a NDIS connection on your computer. Using the modem link creates a Dial up connection. The only real difference between the two is that the NDIS assumes a 10MBPS connection while the Dial up connection assumes at most a 921 Kbps connection. However if you open your task manager while using the Dial up connection provided by the Modem Link program, the max speed assumeed increases as you request more bandwith up until the cap. I have maxed out on 1.95 MBPS on both the Dial up Modem link connection and the NDIS ICS connection.

So, how do you get an ICS connection without VZ access manager? I use ICS control on my XV6900 and it works fabulously. What's the trick to tethering on the Ozone with ICS control?

Many thanks!

Again rhetoric issue here. ICS works fine on the Ozone. ICS control, that nifty program written that will allow you to route your data connection to wifi, Bluetooth or usb does not work on the Ozone. I used ICS CONTROL on my Xv6700 and it work perfectly.

There is no "trick" to get ICS to work on the Ozone. It works with the program called "modem link" after you of course change your DUN settings. However, it is a dial up connection and it doesnt like to burst the full Rev-a speed. You don't "need" VZW access manager. All VZWAM does is create a dial up connection in windows. you can do all this manually. I don't like VZWAM because i feel there is a way for them to track your tethering usage. Create a new dial up connection and make the phone number #777 and the usual credintials and you are set.
To get the NDIS connection that will allow you those rev-a bursts you need to install ICS on the ozone. If you use it instead of modem link, your computer will automatically detect the NDIS connection and allow our to receive the full rev-a speeds.

Verizon just shipped out a FREE Ozone my way because I've had 2 malfaunctioning Omnias. Although I haven't actually seen the phone in person yet I'm excited because it looks part Blackberry (which I won't purchase because I don't get the hype) and part Moto Q (a phone I had a few years ago). The Omnia was a great phone-when it worked but it's a touchscreen. Previously, I had the xv6800 which I also loved. I sure hope I don't miss the touch capability.

I'll keep you all posted and hope you will do the same....

Does a person have to pay more to access the gps? I believe I have unlimited data, can I access the gps with that? How do I do that? Thanks from a clueless ozone user!

Fortunately for you the Ozone IMHO is one of the most accessible open GPS phones. It is completely free. You can use any location aware app for windows mobile with it including Google Maps, Bing, Tom Tom. To Start Download Gmaps or Bing. Make sure u use the QuickGPS app on your phone. It somehow reduces the time it takes to get a gps fix. After doing all that make sure the option to use the gps is checked in what ever application you use.

Now USE of the GPS does not necessarily cost you. If you have the TomTom app you will never incur a data cost while using the GPS. But since you are with Verizon you're getting raped for data usage anyway, lol.
