ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro

[tommer12]

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!

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

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.

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?

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?

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.

Sorry guys for asking again, but any ideas?

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.

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.

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.
