Tethering in Energy ROM

leerage · #1 (**permalink**) 09-16-2010, 09:48 AM

Hello all,

I have recently switch to NRGZs latest ROM and have a question about USB tethering. I started up Internet Sharing but I don't have an option to select under Network Connections. I've researched and tried a couple of suggestions but none seem to work. I basically need to to show "Sprint" under network connections and then I'll be on my way. Wi-Fi router is not an option here. The desktop PC doesn't have a wireless card.

Thanks for your time.

When I switched to Energy a month or ago, I've had the same issue. I posted to others in the thread but no one seems to use USB tethering anymore, only WiFi. I prefer the USB tethering myself.

I have the same issue... it says waiting on network...then disconnects and does not work. I do not have the option to pick the network either.

I'll be watching this thread to see if anyone has a fix..

It seems the latest Energy ROMs need the SIM card inserted for USB tethering to work. Without the SIM, for whatever reason, the Internet Sharing doesn't see any network connection.

SIM worked from an old AT&T phone. Actually it was an old Cingular SIM but I don't want to date myself too much. It worked instantly... My TP2 is a USCC CDMA phone but it still works. Thanks for your help!!!!

Anybody have a workaround for the SIM? I have to keep the SIM card out because of Android builds going nuts if there's a SIM inserted.

It seems with all the previous ROMs I've used, "Sprint" has always been in there. I am enjoying this new ROM but I definitely need the USB tethering. I'll continue to search and post if I find a solution.

energy rom with my diamond had given me problems. eventually, when tethering, I had to change the connection to DATA. That seemed to be it for me. But prior to that, I installed the ICS cab, IOTA update, profile update, etc. And each time I would run those, I could tether, but after a reset I had to do it over. Finally I changed the network to DATA and it worked from that point on. Hope this helps. On my stock TP2 rom, I did the ICS mod where you change the registry.
