You ask the question that many others may also want to know the answer to, then you post this???

PDANet . . . not wireless . . you need a USB cable . . . works great.

The solution is posted somewhere in the forum. Simply, need to make updates to your registry. Just do a search and find it. Maybe its just me but I'd rather make an update to registry instead of using PDAnet. Is there any reason you all prefer PDAnet ?? Just curious.

Although WMwifirouter sounds interesting.

Thanks A LOT!!! I am loving WMWifiRouter.

WMWifiRouter works great, and I am a big fan. But I find it is not a good solution if you want to use BitTorrent. I have unlimited data on the SERO plan - I've used as much as 25GB in a month and never heard a peep from Sprint about trying to charge me for tethering *knocks on wood* - and I pretty much use my Mogul as my only internet connection when I'm at home. True, this is not quite as good as DSL or Roadrunner, but I live alone (so no one else needs constant internet) and it saves me $80 a month not buying internet, so there you go.

Anyway, long story short, I would be very greatful if anyone would share solutions for getting a data connection that can last 8 - 12 hours (to run BitTorrent overnight) without either (i) disconnecting after a few hours because the battery died; or (ii) disconnecting at random times because the connection was lost.

So far, I find that I never lose my connection with WMWifiRouter, but the battery dies after about 4-5 hours. PDANet lasted slightly longer before battery would die, but also sometimes disconnects randomly.

I just upgraded to WM 6.1 (I'm using the official Sprint ROM), but I did the easy (and well explained) registry hacks to get ICS working on Sprint PCS. I'm still testing ICS (on about day 3), but so far my internet connection lasts for at most an hour and sometimes only 3-5 minutes before I have to click "Connect" again on ICS.

Is anyone here currently able to keep their internet actively running for 8-12 hours like this? Like I said, this is primarily so I can run BitTorrent, so aside from this last specific use let me say I am extremely satisfied with my Mogul (had mine a little over a year now).

Anyway, if anyone has been able to consistently maintain an internet connection for 8-12 hours, I would love to hear how.

Many thanks.

You're asking an awful lot of that phone if you're going to sit on torrents with it.

Also, incoming calls knock out your data connection. Kill/get rid of all friends & family.

I use WMWifiRouter and keep the charger plugged in. I keep the keyboard open and if it's hot then even point a fan at it to keep it from overheating. I haven't had any issues and have used it overnight. I use it all the time when I go out of town.

I just received an HP Pavilion DV6810 Laptop and would like to use my Sprint Touch Diamond to access the web via my Laptop. I am new to this stuff and need some advice. Would I be better off purchasing the wireless wifi router program as is being discussed in this thread to make my Diamond a wifi hotspot or should I purchase the PdaNet software? Are there any advantages of one over the other?Btw, my Laptop is equipped for wifi and bluetooth. Thanks for any advice and if anyone needs anymore info regarding my issue, let me know. Thanks. EDIT: I just tethered my Diamond to my laptop by enabling internet sharing on my Diamond. The laptop recognized the Diaqmond via the usb port. I am not using PdaNET or the wireless router. I do have an unlimited data plan. Am i going to have an issue regarding tethering my Diamond without a PAM service? Thanks for any advice.

you may have an issue.

With the latest version of WMWifiRouter you can connect like you do with PDANet (also how you're connecting right now, through the wire), or connect through bluetooth, or connect through wifi. WMWifiRouter is really the best all around solution.
