Sprint Mogul Tether

ChiTownHustler · #1 (**permalink**) 03-14-2008, 02:48 PM

Anywhere online to find a guide to setup tethering with the Sprint PPC6800/Mogul.

I would really like to get USB as well as bluetooth tethering working ASAP. It seems this was SO easy with the PPC6700. Did the internet sharing replace the wmodem?

hello, here's info from an earlier post of mine on another thread..

Re: Official Sprint ROM 3.35.651.2 - Discussion
TETHERING: For the few who brought up tethering on this thread, check out the tutorial on this site by TalynOne.

It has been confirmed that it works on the new ROM. I have tried ICS and PDANet and by far his method is the best way to go. I was online for over 4 hours with a fast connection and with no hiccups (would have random data loss/connection interruptions with the other 2). Also, if I leave the bluetooth on, it charges through the USB port, so the battery does not die. For some reason when I disco the BT, the phone doesn't charge through the USB. ??

It's called Tutorial: USB DUN with "Wireless Modem" app on HTC Mogul. Here's the link: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...ss+Modem+Mogul

If your Bluetooth stack on the PC supports BT Personal Area Networks, then that is what the Mogul uses when you select Bluetooth as the Internet Connection Sharing.

Okay I tried everything in that post and I can't get it to recognize my phone when I plug it into the USB on my PC.

I seem to have Internet Connection Sharing working now. Any reason why ICS is NOT a good option? I am using this for a mobile credit card terminal. I have my CC terminal hooked to the computer Ethernet adapter via a RJ45 crossover cable. Also when I am using Internet Connection Sharing what is the difference between picking Sprint PCS or Phone as Modem under the Network Connection:

Also any ideas on getting the Wmodem working or why it won' recognize it when plugged into the USB port. It doesn't find any new hardware.

I couldn't get it working either, here's my post on the DUN thread of what I did to get it working on BT. I also can also use the ICS/ SPRINT PCS via USB too without any problems. Waiting to see if I will get any charges???

The only registry edit I went back and completed was the following:

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".

After a hard reset, then deleting this entry, I was able to pair my Mogul with my laptop via bluetooth, go to Programs/ Internet connection sharing/ and select Bluetooth DUN-Phone as modem. Then went to the PC bluetooth and selected Join a Bluetooth Personal area network and pick my mogul and connect.

The first time it disco'd after 5 min's..once you connect your mogul to the BT, make sure you uncheck the box that says to disco after syncing to save battery power.

After that I reconnected, and was on 40 min's with no problems/disco's and good speed. Tried again earlier tonight and no issues.

Hopefully this will work until the Wireless modem method on this thread can be updated to work on the new rom as it was flawless!!

Good luck..

I always ran my tethering through internet sharing with no problem.As long as you have it set to "Sprint PCS" and not "Phone as Modem" you should be fine.

Oh yeah, I always had to start the internet connection before running net sharing. I simply would open the net and refresh the page then it was good to go!

I have the simply everything plan, and PAM is included in my price plan of 99.99, the PAM program is just that a program, I had to do some complaining and finally sprint gave the PAM add on to me. The everything plan states UNLIMITED DATA, how you use that is not explained. In addition, Sprint plans to make the Simply Everything include the PAM option w/ it along w/ a few others.

I too was a former 6700 user that used tethering.

When I first migrated over to the mogul I had a terrible time trying to get it to tether. I followed all the instructions, hints, tweaks, etc and couldn't get it to work. I must of spent 20 hours trying to get it working.

Then I upgraded my ROM via the kitchen and viola it worked immediately..USB and Bluetooth.

Incorrect. At this time, PAM does not work with the Simply Everything plan. If they added it onto your account, they did so incorrectly. It has been determined that PAM and the Simply Everything plan do not work together correctly at this time.

The fully functional PAM feature will be added to all Simply Everything plans on June 15th.

If PAM is working for you now, don't get attached. You'll likely start to run into problems rather quickly.
