1. Disable CM Guardian w/ a task manager, reboot.
2. Install Internet sharing fix, reboot.
3. Install HTCUSBTo PC POP Up. reboot.
Hope it works for ya. It did for me.

Achilles what does the HTCUSBTOPC actually install- do you still have to connect to the internet before hitting connect on ICS- basically I am wondering how your way is any different from the way I got ICS to work on my sprint TP2- see here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...32#post1165932

It's the pop up screen you get once the phone gets pc connection.

You know Sync, storage, or Internet Connection.

I don't know about you guys, but I highly prefer the wmwifirouter, or HTCwifirouter. The only advantage of actually hooking up your phone as internet connection with a usb cable, is that it gives you a new i.p. address every single time you re-connect. So that is good if you need to go to websites where you do not want your i.p. address tracked.

can verizon tell if you are using it either tethered or as a wifi router and sharing the connection? is there something that has to be edited in the reg to hide such functionality from them? i have wanted to try this but haven't specifically heard if this is hidden from verizon or not

If the program tethers your computer as a "modem" then yes. If the program tethers your computer as "data" then no.

For Sprint you will need to have PAM (Phone as Modem) from now on. They are really pushing their wireless cards (which are free with the service) and the 15$ monthly charge for 3g (29.95$ 4g in supported areas). A lot of people were able to use PAM until recently they have been auditing them and stopping that acess.

I haven't seen one person who were actually audited and charged.

Auditing and charged? I thought they dont care if you have the unlimited plan.

Well... I can gaurantee you that if you are with Sprint and are using it for free, it will not be much longer.
I work for their business support and have had plenty of people call in with this exact issue.
The charge is 15$ a month for the PAM (Phone as a Modem).
Up until about 6 months ago it wasn't an issue and people were getting away with free tethering. But like I said, they have been turning off that if you didn't have the subscription.
