Tethering with the new ROM

Alpine- · #1 (**permalink**) 03-12-2008, 02:27 PM

It is very tempting to tether more often when on the road or mobile now that we have RevA. I had previously tethered with PDAnet using the previous rom.

I wondered if there had been any changes or new registry keys we should be aware of. In a previous thread (I cant find it now) a few specific keys were brought to our attention and it was recommended that we delete them before Tethering.

In the current rom, which keys should we delete and is the situation the same as with previous roms? It is safe to tether occasionally with an unlimited data SERO plan?

InternetSharing WM 6.0:
Go to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
Then Delete "Extension"="rilphone.dll"
then change "MaxCMCon.... from 1 to 0..
MaxCMCon might be 0 already if so its cool.

InternetSharing WM 6.1:
Go to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
Then Delete "Extension"="rilphone.dll"
After that edit the dial "Phone as Modem" to "Sprint PCS"
MaxCMCon will already be 0.

I tether with just unlimited data plan and have not had issues. I wouldn't recommend downloading torrents (GiGs of data) as I feel it would eventually ruin it for all with the "Free" tethering. I know you didn't ask but here are a few more I use with every Rom.

Undock Keyboard
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip\Now
go to DragStyle and change (0) to (1)

A-GPS reg edit
HKLM/Software/HTC/SUPLAGPS/
GPSMode --> Change to 4 (orginal value 2)

faster web browseing..
HKLM\Comm\Tcpip\Parms and changed the TimerWheelSize to Value of 5 from 11

Rev-a
Dial ##778#, choose edit, enter your MSL, go to Data Parameters, Choose Rev. A, Choose Enable/Disable jury is still out on this one but there is a Rev-A thread already so look HERE for your own conclusion.

From TaylnOne over at XDA:

Sprint HTC Mogul/SERO Notes

It seems Sprint is up to shenanigans in regards to tethering for SERO users. Those of you running Sprint ROMs should navigate to the following registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing" and delete the string value named "Extension". This will allow you to connect to the Internet via the Internet Sharing app without the dreaded error 67/authentication errors. Previous to this fix, Mogul SERO users would have to connect to the Internet via another method (such as starting Internet Explorer first) before pressing the Connect button in the the Internet Sharing application.

If you're really paranoid (it has been concluded these entries have no meaning when using Internet Sharing), using a registry editor, navigate to the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\WModem" key, and set the "CheckProfile", "Multi-NAI" and "WModemDUN" DWORDS to a decimal value of "0".

Thanks guys...

Lsme420 can you give a bit of a description of what those other tweaks do (i.e. GPS, etc.)

the rev-a part is still in the air most say rev-a is enabled by default no changes needed it should show disable in Mls settings i personally tried both and it is faster is the word disable shows.

Could you explain what exactly these two do?

I cant get neither Internet sharing nor WModem to work. If i try Internet sharing, all i get is Error Code:67 and reads something about my sprint username/password is wrong..and if I try the WModem, I just get "line is busy". Can anyone please help?

Post #2 Follow the InternetSharing edit. Use a app such as Rosco exsplorer or I use MemMaid 2.2 to edit the registry. Post #7 also had the 67 error and fixed it with the edit.

I tried deleting the Extension="rilphone.dll" and it keeps denying me. Anyway around this?
