Simple Instructions for Tethering Touch Pro on Sprint

[thabg007]

Ahh i followed the instructions,


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
Extension=""

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

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
MaxCMCon=0

but "Sprint PCS" keeps resetting back to "phone as modem"
after a restart or refreshing the registry to make sure its still their
must be a policy somewhere

any one else have this issue?

never seen that issue before try reinstall might correct that?..

I didnt install anything, just reg changes, i read at other places to wait 5 min then reset but, it changes back with out even reseting, i use ce regedit, but wat i wanna no is wats wrong wit using phone as modem vs sprint connection type, i read that people say use sprint instead of phone as modem connection type but no one explains why,

Same problem here. I have gotten an internet connection through my phone once, but it usually doesn't work. After a failure, I use CeRegEditor to discover the registry has reset to "Phone as Modem". I'm stumped.

EDIT - found this info on another forum

Are you using the new version of the Sprint ROM for the Touch Pro? I have heard that this new version will check for these changes to the Registry and reset them when ever you reboot. The process that does this is HTC_CM_Guardian.exe. Check out This Thread to read about how to disable this.

If the tips in this thread aren't working for you. I've used the tips in this link in the past for tethering, it's not as hard to do as it looks when you first read the page and it works, at least it worked for me.

It is possible to use my touch pro to go online with a an ipod touch.


I hope I worded that right... lol

I finally got it to work (Sprint HTC Pro).

1) install the cab to kill the Guardian file, cab file is attached to post #1 of this thread
2) install the cab file to allow internet tethering, click here

I had to reinstall the default ROM from the HTC site. I was trying several things and eventually my whole phone became worthless. I couldn't even make a call. I reinstalled and did the above two steps, and now everything works. Hopefully you won't have to reinstall the ROM to get it to work. I'm pretty sure I had to because I screwed something up. I didn't even know what a ROM was until two days ago.

Funny i was doing the exact same thing yesterday, and my teathering now works also

[thabg007]

But wat no one explains is the reason to use "Sprint" as the connection vs using "phone as modem"? they both alow teathering? so wats the difference?
I guessing that using "phone as modem" connection option tells sprint u r tethering, while using "sprint" connection tricks sprint into thinking ur just using internet on the device its self,

Well am i right or wrong?
