I dont know why people keep wanting to deal with the hastles of setting up a "free teathering app" when a one time $23 charge can cure it period. They have a 30 try before you buy, two clicks you got a hotspot via usb/bluetooth/wifi. The time you took to read this reply you could have been done already.

Thanks. I guess I should try their trial version, but I don't think that's the solution I'm looking for. I already am able to turn my TP2 into a wireless hotspot with some of the free programs I've found here. The problem is a wireless hotspot/router to a device that doesn't have a connection to the internet is not much good. Part of the requirements for WMWifeRouter is: "An installed and working version of Internet Sharing". Mine is not working to get connected, which is my base problem.

have you tried to flash your phone back to stock 6.1? that might solve your problems.

Well, I would give it a shot, but the issue sounds like a bad flash. I am running a stock sprint 6.5 and it works fine, and any other Rom I have used has worked with no issues.

I had the same problem. I use this as the app. It looks like the other internet sharing icon but has a second drop down box.

first box (pc connection) should be set to usb
second box (network connection) needs to be changed from phone as modem to "sprint"

I accidently changed my password playing with it and got the error 67.

I called sprint and told them what I was doing and they said they dont allow using the phone as a modem.

I didn't know I couldn't untill they told me. I asked to be transfered to tech support. I told tech support i couldn't log onto the internet from the phone.

The user name and password is from sprint

Tech support had me dial ##3282#

That took me to another page where they gave me a code to unlock the page

They reset the username and password for me on their end.

it was like my name then 12345609@sprintpcs.com
the password was random too

I did a hard reset and installed the internet sharing app again and viola.. works perfect.

hope this helps.

Don't tell them you are using it as a modem... just say you cant get onto the internet from the phone. Have them reset the username and password for vision.

Also, make sure your wifi is turned OFF on your computer

Man, this is frustrating. I've been trying to install some of the other ROM's, but my XP Thinkpad and our Win7 laptop both have fits about the hard SPL unlock programs. They come up as viruses, trojan horses, etc. Just one thing after another. I'm going to try another hard reset and try Boo Boo's method one more time with a twist of trying to have a data connection already open before starting the IS app. If that doesn't work, it's back to trying to get the phone unlocked so I can load a ROM.

Finally got it working. The plan in my last post worked. I just have to remember to get a data connection open before kicking off Internet Sharing and plugging the cable into the computer. I can do that by either going into comm manager and turning on Data Connection, or bringing up a website on a browser.

Thanks for everyones help. I appreciate it all the effort to help me resolve this. Now I can get on with customizing the other parts of the phone.

Hard reset, installed this cab. My choice of network is "<none>"

Sorry man, this cab doesn't work on new phones from Sprint now, so quit saying it's so great. maybe if you're upgrading from older ROM it's fine and maybe if I install downloaded ROM. But fact is that it's not working on from Sprint stock. I might try downloading the "stock ROM" and see it it'll take from that, but thought others with replacement phones that can't get it to work, go ahead and punt on Tattooed's cab. It's from the Diamond, so looks like it might be showing its age.

The registry edits require the quotes in "Sprint" to be there for mine to work ples start a internet connection first and goto "tools" icon for ICS.--RR
