And I'm sure any legal reps from Telus wouldn't have trouble finding this thread or it's users.

oh yah, as far as they know they were on stock rom and just plugged it into there pc to charge.

They might find this thread. But it's users? Noooo.

They'd need some pretty compelling evidence to convince a judge to subpoena all of our names/addresses. And the only thing they would be able to use as evidence is that people have figured out a way to get a service for free and are talking about it online. Nothing else. No IP addresses, account numbers, nothing.

exactly, and the evidence that they put a ticking "billing" time bomb in there stock rom would be compelling. because its the truth they did. oh and of coruse they would have to prove that i wasn't on the stock rom at the time which unless im a moron. they wouldn't never be able to.

Hi, I asked this question on another thread, but it got buried.

If I am using the app Mobile Wi-Fi Router and have my phone acted as a router and have my computer connected to it, would it be detected as tethering as well?

If you use the fix in the first post, you will not have any issues.

Will the ICS Hotfix posted in the First Post work with Sprint TP2 stock ROM to stop the "Error 67" from happening so much with USB tethering?

Or is it just for Telus users?

Is it possible to tether undetected on US Cellular with the TP2?

I'm sure it will be a bit longer before anyone would get a bill for it seeing it just came out.

I hope not. I think that the Error 67 is what keeping Sprint customers from getting charged.

**[sammich]** · #**170** (**permalink**) 11-25-2009, 03:17 AM

From what I understand, the 67 error was because of Telus' need to completely change the way the phone communicates with tethering. Sprint's network doesn't understand Telus' pathetic new parameters and doesn't know how to connect. I don't think Sprint even has a plan to actually run the charges if you're caught using the protocol Telus used to trap the people abusing tethering.
