Re: Using phone as modem, help!!!!!!
 

gonna have to be a little more specific how u tried ro use these cabs. u also have to disable CMguardian. it reverts all these settings back to default after a soft reset. also try opening a browser first, then running connection sharing. what's happening when u run the programs? is your phone makin a data connection? need more info

Re: Using phone as modem, help!!!!!!
 

Flash to Mighty Rom. All I did was plug it into the computer and it worked as a modem just fine.

Re: Using phone as modem, help!!!!!!
 

Yeah but you can only install Mighty ROM if you phone is Unlocked.

#1. How do you unlock your phone or see if its even locked.

#2. How do you Re-flash back to the Stock Sprint ROM?

Re: Using phone as modem, help!!!!!!
 

flashing custom rom would definitely get it going. but I'm on stock rom. and have absolutely no problems tethering over usb or wifi

Re: Using phone as modem, help!!!!!!
 

i have downloaded the wifi and modem cabs, opening a browser from my laptop or a browser on the phone?...and everytime i run connection sharing it says data connection faild, either username or password is incorrect, i have no idea what they talkning about

Re: Using phone as modem, help!!!!!!
 

mine does this if I don't start a connection on the phone first. I just open opera mini and go to a web page. then minimize it and start connection sharing or wifi sharing. open up the internet connection sharing app and make sure its using "SPRINT" and not "Phone as Modem" . I believe after I installed the tethering fix and used it for the first time I had to change it to sprint. but if u haven't did the CMguardian fix , it won't stay

Re: Using phone as modem, help!!!!!!
 

also if you use the X button in order to minimize opera , u have to set the X button to minimize on short press and close on long press otherwise u wood just be closing opera and defeating the purpose . in case u didn't know. or use the hard key on bottom of phone to get to programs and then open ICS

Re: Using phone as modem, help!!!!!!
 

Thanks for the info, im going to try that when i get home, i have the ics and wmod cab from the tips and tricks page, will that work??

Re: Using phone as modem, help!!!!!!
 

If you just wanna get Tethering going, I would first use Shaggylive's CMKiller here:

That will keep your CMGuardian file from resetting any reg edits that are done.
Then use MightyMike's Tethering cab. :)

Re: Using phone as modem, help!!!!!!
 

thanks, i hope all this info wrks! lol

Re: Using phone as modem, help!!!!!!
 

Your Welcome!! It should work! Have Faith! :mrgreen:

Re: Using phone as modem, help!!!!!!
 

just use WMWiFiRouter software and all is done automatically for you(3 options for tether 1:USB, 2:WiFI(your phone becomes wireless router), 3: BlueTooth(same as #2 but via BT). Been using this soft for well over 2 years now on different WM devices without a single hiccup or extra charge from carriers(on TMobile and Sprint). Need any further help on it - PM me will try my best to help. And no i am not affiliated with the company

Re: Using phone as modem, help!!!!!!
 

Man it wokrs!!!!! Thanks ya'll..i'm using it rite now!!!...3g speed from my tp2...gotta luv it..ppcgeeks (we tha best) lol..

Re: Using phone as modem, help!!!!!!
 

I bought the commercial version of WiFiRouter, and that worked for me

Re: Using phone as modem, help!!!!!!
 

I used the CMGuardian killer and my connection still goes back to phone on modem at times. I know it goes back after being turned off and on. I didn't realize that and looked over and saw phone as modem after a bit of tethering and about had a heart attack. So far nothing showing up on my account thank goodness.

Re: Using phone as modem, help!!!!!!
 

Not sure where to ask this and have been doing some searching. Tethering is fine on my Sprint tp2 but my wife recently got a tmo g2 and we would like to know how to do the same with that. Not sure why but I find no info about that phone on here. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you

Re: Using phone as modem, help!!!!!!
 

The G2 is an Android Phone(your posting in the TP2/WinMO section).... youll have to be Rooted first if you wanna Tether I believe... unless you wanna Pay for EasyTether or maybe PDANet... Im rooted and you AndroidTether.. works for me...

Also if your gonna want her G2 to be able to see ad-hoc connections, youll need to replace the wpa_supplicant file as well..

Re: Using phone as modem, help!!!!!!
 

Thank you. Android is completely foreign to me. I was hoping there might be a G2 specific place on here like for the TP2 but I cant seem to find anything. Any chance you can give me a link(s) to where to get started.

Re: Using phone as modem, help!!!!!!
 

z4 Root.. it used to be in the Market i believe.. if not, [APP] z4root - xda-developers

youll Root, then install the .apk from Downloads - android-wifi-tether - Project Hosting on Google Code

boom! wifi tether for Free!

for being able to see ad-hoc(say wifi from like a TP2 or something) you need a replacement wpa_supplicant file(attached).. move that using ANdroid Mate or ROOT Explorer to system/bin, paste.. reset.. all good

Re: Using phone as modem, help!!!!!!
 

Thank you for the info. From the looks of this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953 it doesnt look like this will work for her phone (also known as Desire) though. But I have found alot of other info. Guess I need to do some reading.
