Free Tethering? I think so.

JohnnyOnTheSpot,

I have the same problem you did, I made the above changes, and everything seems to work, the next day however the 6800 would not want to connect to the net, I was getting the Error 67, what I did to fix it was to launch the Internet Sharping APP, and had it try to connect and after I exited the APP my unit connected normally.

I have a felling it is some sort of internal profile that did not get switched back after using the Internet Sharping APP the previous day.

Hmm, that makes a ton of sense. I'm still going to hold out until this is completely confirmed as a fix just because I hate restoring everything on my phone, but that definately makes sense. Thanks a lot man, and hopefully this is it.

thx for the feed back

I have a serious doubt that using PAM over Sprint PCS doesn't make a difference either. When you check the settings in 'connections' - 'manage my current connections', they both have the same settings. To verify this, I just did speed test with both of them. Sprint PCS was 485/128 using PA speakeasy. PAM was 444/112 using speakeasy and 470/128 using San Fran (speakeasy in PA was showing high load at the time...)

Just a thought. I might try some more to see what happens. BTW, I'm on a 6800, have tethered for a month now via ICS, performed no PAM egistry hacks nor ## functions, and I haven't seen a single charge on my bill.

For speed comparisons, I'm in Sunnyvale, CA 94089. DEUCE

ICS, eh? I've never heard of it but it seems worth a shot. Is there a link for this anywhere?

Pretty sure he just means the Intenet Sharing program built in.

Unless something has changed in the last year and a half the only way sprint can tell you're doing PAM is based on your data usage. If you use over X ammount it will flag the system and they will start running audits to see habitual use and how much is used per session/time frame.

I was 2 hours and 34 minutes with sprint trying to solve the problem and nothis, I did close the internet sharing program and BUM! everything is back to normal.. no more error 67 or error 1012...

Thanks guys!

yep same problem as everyone else. Hard reset solved it so i'm not going to tether
