Asking in favor of a friend .....

Latest Update:

MightyROM (11/16/09 Release) With tethering fix enabled.

10 Minute tethering test, browsing websites, loading pages.

Log is too long to take a screenshot, although inside the log, there are no 1x.telusmobility.com connections.

All being detected as mb.telusmobility.com

So I may be kind of new to the whole tethering thing, and flashing ROMs but I have an idea.

Since I understand that Sprint users are unaffected because the radio doesn't have the tethering call nai inside it, and the VZW and Telus ones do have it allowing the carrier app to work thereby notifying the network we are tethering.

Could the Sprint Radio (the one posted by cmonex and olipro for unlocking the device for GSM US networks) be flashed to a NON-Sprint device? Or could they make a custom radio that has that removed so that any rom used would not be able to notify the carrier network that you are in tether mode?

Happened to me on Bell Mobility, using a ROM generated from Calkulin's 4.1 kitchen. Almost $300!

No, as the radio has nothing to do with whats stored in yoru NV, the sprint users NV memory has no Tethering NAI in it so when the radio tried to call this address in NV they get an error 67, which is radio talk for piss of i ain't got nun here for you.

I was on a sprint radio when i got charged.

My bad. Forgot to mention that this happened to me while using Touch Diamond. Oops, guess I should mention that when posting in a TP2 forum. The point is that this problem may not be device specific.

I'm running the stock ROM. I have the ICS and Modem fix and use HTC WiFiRouter from my programs list.

When I run this program, I don't get any pop-up at all apart from the program.

The last question asks what I am about to (I think, so if someone answers this while I type, sorry....)

I read the entire thread and this issue is touched on, but not quite to reassurance. I have the Stock VZW ROM and I applied the fix in this post http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=78019

So, those of us in this boat are okay?

[mcal]

T2P, Telus
I have;
intshare, 18.4
intshrUI, 22.9
intshrUI, 37.0 (yes 2 w/ different icons)
Should I still run fix?

I have not used that much usb on laptop so can't comment on bill as no extra charges YET. (did check that)

While I'm writing anyone point me to where I can change the default web prog in ribbon to iexplore not opera? sorry off topic. (never know what to type in search)

How did this come about all of a sudden? Was there some carrier update that everyone downloaded which created this issue?

On that note, can Sprint force some update without my knowledge enabling this tether check? I want to make sure that nothing changes without me knowing about it so I don't get hit.
