ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

Anyone figure out the new registry hacks on the Sprint Touch Pro that are needed (if any) for connecting with Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)?

Or is it the same as the Sprint Touch Diamond?

Re: Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

Dont know, but I can confirm USB Modem works (nought it along time ago) but I cant get WMWIFIRouter .91 nor ics control to work

Re: Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

I got it to work for me..... I didn't attempt to logon to the router though because I need to find that registry hack.

Re: Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

i'm assuming this works
http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/sho...ight=tethering

it's the same insturctions on the diamond. since the touch pro and the diamond are relatively the same, i assume it works.

the other way around it is it to use wmwifirouter.

Re: Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

The following is said to work. I found it in another post on here but haven't tried it myself. The comments said it was "tested and works" -- no guarantees from me though as, again, I have not tried it yet.

1. Edit the following regestry entries. Hard part is finding a registry editor, but they are out there:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
Extension="" Delete the "isext.dll" entry

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\settings]
ForceCellConnection="Sprint"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
MaxCMCon=0

2. Start the Internet Sharing application.
3. Hit Connect In the Internet Sharing application.
4. Connect the Diamond to the Laptop/PC via USB
5. Done. No other applications needs to run on the PC/Laptop.

WMWifiRouter 1.2 works lovely

Re: Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

ii woudln't pay money for the prog tho. it used to be free. :)

Re: Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

NM I figured it out

Re: Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

I have the older free version but I also paid for the current version as well. This program has made my life alot easier and the only reason why I bought the newer version is to show support for all the hard work that was put into this program. So even though it used to be free nothing is wrong with putting up some money to support the cause, just like how many of us donate to all the great chefs of this community that we depend on.

Re: Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

yeh don't get me wrong here. i rather donate then pay. u know. there's a different feeling when your donating then paying

Re: Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

Well, I guess you do have a pretty good point.

Re: Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

when paying, i assume the prog to be 100% to my expectation. haha:silent:

Re: Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

Wow anyone else having problems with the internet speed, download is only 300 and my upload speed is about none 4-5. I even have the firewall turned off

Yes I am in an EVDO area

Re: Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

When paying for it you have the ability to report bugs to the author and suggest tweaks/changes and trust me he listens and offers whatever help he can. Also you get a ton more functionality out of the newer version like port forwarding etc

Re: Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

The only thing I did not change is

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
MaxCMCon=0


It shows MaxCMConnectRetries and then 0x0 (0) below. Now that is under settings. Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing all I have is Settings, Status, and then (Default) and Extension

Am I missing something

Re: Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

hmm where can i get a list of things that are offered in the newest version?

Re: Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

waht happens if i try to use internet share without the reg edit???

Re: Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

I imagine you will get the dreaded 67 error

Re: Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

Hmm I might try the trial. $30 is too much for my usage patterns however.

Re: Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

Just as I posted in another thread, I have a really hard time with bate n switch. Hey, lets create an app thats totally free intended for free use by the phone community, then when everyone starts using it and cant live without it start charging for it. Riiiight. There are a ton of other users that donate time and efforts on multiple other software for the phone community and they never take it commercial. They rely on donations. They get my money, corporate greed does not and will never get a dime of mine.

Re: Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

wait the last step isn't in that folder, its in the setting and it's already done

Re: Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

i'm considering buying wmwifirouter, but I am wondering if I would be able to use it on two phones, seeing how I have two smart phones. I dont feel like paying 60 bucks to have two copies for two phones. Anyone know if that would be the case?

Re: Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

i couldnt get usb modem to work it would crash

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

Sorry, I should've clarified that I meant registry hacks for tethering with Internet Connection Sharing (ICS), Windows Mobile's built in App.

I edited my OP to reflect this clarification.

Re: Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

Aren't RNDIS and that Framework patch still needed for Windows XP?

Re: Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

Technically you dont need USBModem, but I bought it a while back so I use it. It works fine on my TP

Re: Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

I agree with this sentiment. I would probably bite the bullet and purchase it if it was $15-20 though

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

i bought it before to, i was told to use my mobile as my username, which i never did before

Re: Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

I am in the same boat- I actually added that third set as an additional key under InternetSharing

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

i wmwifirouter and i cant get it to make a wireless network, once its setup it says "ready" but i try to search for it and i dont find anything. can someone pm me and tell me what im doing wrong? thanx in advance to anyone who can help me!

Re: Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

What about Sprint? You paid them and best buy for your touch pro, feeding their corporate greed. :protest:

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

USBModem is also good to use if you are using the Mac OSX or Linux, as they will not work with the built-in ICS over USB (They will work using Bluetooth W/ICS) even though I cannot get Bluetooth PAN working on my Mac as it will disconnect the connection when you try to open a web browser (actually start to transfer data.) What is odd is my wife's Touch Diamond has no problems with ICS Bluetooth PAN and the Mac, so I beleive that something is going on with the Bluetooth driver stack used on the HTC Touch Pro.

For private use yes you can use the one liscense on your two devices

Re: Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

The problem with this is that he literally has spent hunderds of hours on this. It started as a basic project that eveolved into a full time job. If donations were enough that he could cover his bases off of them Im sure he would have left it as a donation ware app. Unfortunately there was only like 200 worth of donations over the many months. He is constantly improving the app and working out bugs with any device there is. This is not a case of corperate greed but just needing to pay the bills

Re: Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

Please note that it did start at $20 but the USD has bombed so bad that the price went up solely on that fact.

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

$30 is too much IMO. those type prices is what makes people pirate stuff

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

raise the value of the USD then the price will drop Also its about $25 now based on the exchange rate

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

I have to say I agree with AstainHellbring. I've followed the app from its very first version, and Chainfire has put a tremendous amount of work into it. He deserves to be compensated. I like donationware too, but lets face it, 99.9% of the people that use a piece of software will never make a donation if you leave it up to them. What's the point, when it is so easy to make petty excuses and just pirate what you want. I make it a point to support the developers that I appreciate...A_C, Chainfire, No2Chem, the Elite group, etc.

It's not corporate greed if an entrepreneur creates something of value and decides to seek profit from it. And it's not bait-and-switch if he decides that new versions, with new features, that require new investments of time will no longer follow the donationware model. There was a lot of time between WMWiFiRouter's initial release and when it went commercial after v.91, and Chainfire made it a point to give free licenses to all prior donators. Enough of the childish name calling and bashing valued members of the community. Take it as a lesson to actively support the donationware that exists today.

docangle,
any luck getting the ICS Bluetooth PAN to work on the TP with a Mac? :)

Re: ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro
 

I'm having the same problem. I came from the Diamond and tethering via bluetooth and my MBP worked perfectly. Setting it up exactly the same way on the Pro, and it disconnects after a few seconds of opening up a webpage. It's a shame because I need to use ICS from time to time.
