Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

rageouss,

I have not had any luck in solving the issue, I have disconnection issues on my iMac(Aluminum), MacMini(PPC) and Macbook Pro (Late 2007). The only methods that works for me is USB Modem and wmwifirouter, as stated above my wife's Touch Diamond works just fine, I have a feeling they either used different BT Hardware or the Bluetooth Drivers are different.

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

My Macbook Air works well using USB Modem over bluetooth PAN but my connection using usb is almost crawl speed now. Any ideas?

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

I'm having the same trouble. I have a Touch Dual that works perfectly through T-Mobile with Internet Sharing and my Macbook Pro 15" SR chipset. Using this new Sprint Touch Pro, it connects and within seconds disconnects. I was considering the switch to Sprint for this phone plus faster data speeds but, the speed is worthless without the ability to stay connected. Has anybody solved this mystery, yet? I'm going to try using one of the alternate programs but, I really would prefer the internet sharing to work over bluetooth with a PAN just like my Touch Dual. Thanks.

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

anyone have a working "WModen" app for touch pro? ICS works fine for me but i used to connect my laptop to my mogul and use Wmodem to send faxes

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

how the hell did you send faxes with wmodem? That sounds interesting.

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro

this?

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

thanks Captains works like a charm

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

i have installed the cab, and i'm am clueless after this point. Could some one steer me in the right direction. i have connect my phone and i see it as a local area connection but still can not connect. using xp

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

Is this needed for tethering to work or is this a way to avoid paying the extra fee?

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

awesome hack cab! I connected to XP and bamo.. internet connection loaded the drivers and I was online. Perfect. i saw about 1 meg down and 400 down. Not bad.. but I have a lot of other crap running, so it could hampering my connection speeds.

saaawwweeeete!

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

Yea! I saw 1.2 MB down and 250KB up. Thats way way faster than my Centro tethering used to be.

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

I'm having a very weird issue. i did the registry hack to ICS to work. But, when i tell it to use USB it says its connected, and the EV symbol is lit, but i get no IP and no connection (i hard coded an IP to see if that fixed it but it doesnt). but when i pick Bluetooth it works fine but its actually using USB. i actually turned off USB on my laptop to make sure there wasn't an accidental connection.

any ideas? has anyone else seen this. i did a search on google and it looks like someone else had the same problem on a mogul.

Normally i wouldn't even worry but when i pick USB, i get a connection and the EV icon lights up so figure it may be faster (though it doesn't actually work) but when i pick Bluetooth the EV icon goes away (but it works (across USB)).

Thanks in advance for any pointers/suggestions.

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

powerbook user here... same issue as others listed above- it will BT connect and stay connected indifinately, but within 5 seconds of opening safari it looses the connection. It worked perfectally with my mogul.

This REALLY sucks, I almost waited because I had a hunch that the internet sharing wasn't going to work. I hate being right about crappy things! Any ideas?

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

I'm using version wmwifirouter ver. .91, deleted the isext.dll file and changed the forceconnecting setting to "Sprint". Now I have no problem tethering but the connection still disconnects every few minutes. Anyone else having this problem?

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

I need some help. I went to make the reg changes last night and they are not there. Period...

.dll file is already deleted and the forceconnection is not even in the settings folder. The only thing I can think of is trying to new wmwifirouter made the changes because I know that I did not.

Anybody think this will be a problem? I hate to try it and rack up the phone as modem bill. I know if I open ICS and tell it to connect through sprint and usb I do not get the error 67 message.

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

Sorry guys for asking again, but any ideas?

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

Because I was having connection issues with ICS this weekend, I decided to try the wmwifirouter software and the newest version, 1.25, works like a charm. I believe this is gonna be my preferred method of tethering and I think it'll be my first and only purchase for WM since I've been running WM.

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

Did you already do that ICS reg edits? I'm wondering if WMWifiRouter does them for you.. Mine are not there at all. I did not make the Changes.

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

Yes, I did the registry edits. I was successful at connecting my Mac to the phone, but it would kick me off constantly. Sometimes within seconds, sometimes in minutes. I have a thread in the Pocket PC Software threads about this.

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

i did reg edits and now i dont get the error 67 but the connect botton is greyed out. any thoughts ?

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

i DL Baffle's .cab and seems to be working tested and got 1517 DL and 442.2 UL

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

Anyone get BT tethering to hold longer than a minute?

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

I am just trying to use the built in ICS to run two computers like I have done with USB Modem before. But ICS on the TP conflicts with ICS on the computer.

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

The reigstry hack works, thanks! :headbang:

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

If i go to Internet Sharing, and click USB, it wont charge so long you have a Data Plan right? I remember on the Mogul it has the option to choose Sprint PCS or Phone As Modem (PAM) will this charge us?

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

bump?

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

Do this with a reg editor:

Hack Internet Sharing to work:
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing
Delete Extension key,
set/create MaxCMCon=0 (decimal).

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\settings
Delete ForceCellConnection
[Now, if you have unlimited data and in the internet sharing program select spring (not PAM) then you can tether to a computer and you will not be charged any extra)

If you just connect with USB it defaults to Phone as a Modem and you will be charged. Do this hack, then select sprint.

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

oh man your gonna kill me for saying this...but how do you do that? ive been searching and trying to figure it out but been too shy tto ask :-this'll help alot of us!

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

You need a registry editor like PHM (can be downloaded from post #5 here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...218#post545218 )

*I have not been able to get BT tether to work with my mac like my mogul did, but all this hack should do is give you the options back to select which network to connect with.

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

I've having issues with tethering my sprint tp to a xp computer. I had it working in the past, but can't remember if it was my phone i had to trade in. I've done the reg hack.cab and it connects and says 10.0Mbit connected and it has packet transfers on the xp computer, but does not connect to the internet. Any tips or ideas?
Thanks!

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

Yep, I am having the same issue. The CAB hack worked perfectly on a TP that I had to return b/c I dropped it :( Anyway, I can't get the ICS hack to work on my new TP. It shows connected but i get no connection on Firefox. Only thing I can think of is the hack says to set/create MaxCMCon=0 (decimal) but I only see MaxCMConnectRetries=0 in my registry...are they the same thing? any ideas?..thx!

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

I am having serious issues with my TP. I used a cab file to edit my registry, and even checked to see if the changes were correct, which they seem to be. However, the connect button is STILL grayed out.

What do I do?! I have been searching all over, still no answer.

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

After running the CAB, is there any way to know for sure if you are being charged for PAM or if its running as a free tether?

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

I tested ICS through bluetooth to work very well.

Do I need ActiveSync to get the USB part to work?
I can't get a connection through USB.

USB Modem is working fine through USB (though not through bluetooth).

So for right now, I use USB Modem for USB and ICS for bluetooth.

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

:mrgreen:Made a couple of cabs files that should make it easier

The first one contains the modifications to the Registry to get Internet Sharing
"internet-sharing-mod.cab"

The second on is to return the the registry to the default setting
"internet-sharing-original.cab"

Just copy the files to your Touch Pro and click the internet-sharing-mod.cab file to install.
Install to Device/main memory (don't know what happens if you choose storage card? never tried it, never will) then your done. You will be able to tether your device through Sprint with no problems.:mrgreen:

internet-sharing-mod.cab:
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
"Extension"=""
"MaxCMCon"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\Status]
"Enabled"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings]
"ForceCellConnection"="Sprint"
"MaxCMConnectRetries"=dword:00000000

internet-sharing-original.cab:
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
"Extension"="isext.dll"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\Status]
"Enabled"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings]
"ForceCellConnection"="Phone as Modem"
"MaxCMConnectRetries"=dword:00000000

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

yeah, its called call sprint and ask em if they can tell your stealing lol

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

I've tried editing the registry, I've tried the cab from jasonmp3 and I've tried just deleting the value \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings\ ForcedCellConnection.

On every try I started ICS, connected and then plugged the usb cable into my laptop. It does the whole acquiring network thing and everytime it comes up with "this connection has limited or no connectivity" and I can't browse the web. What exactly am I doing wrong?

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

I tried both manually reg edit and the compiled cab file and noticed that my Diamond running with stock rom could not save the edits. You changed the "phone as modem" to "sprint", go up to the parent folder then come back the value automatically reverted. This is super annoying, now each time I have to delete those keys such as LastConnction, Forceconnection etc to get the pull-down menu in ICS so that I could choose Sprint as connection type. And everytime I softreset this menu disappear and all the edits reverted back to "phone as modem".

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

So there is no 100% way to tether with sprint on the touch pro? all i see is mixed comments some say it works some say it does not, can some one give a definite answer if its working or not and what should be done to make the hack work?
