Tethering Issues
 

So a while ago I tried tethering and it worked perfect. Unfortunately now when I attempt to do it its not working at all. Am I missing a step? I thought all I need to do is hookup via usb and go to internet sharing. I'm using MightyRom 4.16. When I go to internet sharing should I set it as Data or phone as modem? And it seems to not take the USB connection. I know I'm doing something wrong, and I've tried searching but to no avail... any help?

Be sure you've connected via activesync or windowsmobiledevicecenter first... then do the internet sharing.

Re: Tethering Issues
 

try connecting it first before u connect the usb it works for me like that hope it works

Re: Tethering Issues
 

I tried connecting internet sharing before plugging in the USB and it still says check USB cable connection.

Re: Tethering Issues
 

I'm in a similiar boat.
People will either tell you to make sure you got active sync or wmdc going, or they will say, make sure you got the internet fix cab going on. And some might say, make sure you got IE running on your phone first.

I have both and have tried the IE, but the internet sharing prog has "connect" greyed out.

Re: Tethering Issues
 

Mine lets me connect but it seems the problem is the usb connection. I've tried two different USB cords and neither works, it still says "Check USB connection". Anyone know the problem?

Re: Tethering Issues
 

I'm using the Alltel stock ROM and I use internet sharing all the time.
First conncet the USB cable. Active Sync[XP] or Windows Mobile Device Center [Vista] will try to connect. You have to immediately stop that connection. Then start the internet sharing.
You can't have syncing and internet sharing going at the same time, they conflict.
If you still have trouble, you may have a bad cable.

i have the same problem looked around no answer. running mighty 4.16. Best rom ever btw. Tried tethering hack manually, three different kinds of cabs, no luck connect button greyed out. tried different rom juggalos i believe with one of the cabs first worked then manually also worked. Any fix for this? have touch pro running mighty 4.16, radio 1.11 on sprint.


edit: only difference i could see was the dll file that we are supposed to delete(extension)is not the same on the might rom it shows oemagw.dll...cant remember the name of the file that the hack mentions.

Re: Tethering Issues
 

Well this makes me happy. That means Im not the only one with a greyed out connect on the internet sharing program that's on mighty rom. I wonder if it's the ROM or what. But others are somehow making it work. If you find out, let me know please.
I really don't want to use PDAnet or the wifi router prog.

Re: Tethering Issues
 

You guys try a different computer for the heck of it?

Re: Tethering Issues
 

Its probably a good suggestion to try that. But we would still have the problem of not getting that one particular computer we use to work.

You're right to make that suggestion because it would eliminate the hardware vs. software vs. user issues possibly, however, since this seems to be more common that just the two of us, i'm thinking its a software, either mighty rom or a windows dealie.

Re: Tethering Issues
 

I know this info is not very helpful, but I'm on MightyRom 4.16 and just tried tethering and worked just fine. My laptop is on XP, I didn't even setup an activesync partnership. It actually disconnects from activesync when I use ICS.

Yeah, trying it on a different computer could possibly narrow the problem down to a phone issue or PC issue.

Re: Tethering Issues
 

I am using Mighty 4.16 & ICS works fine for me & I really didn't do anything special.

I do use the latest version of WMwifirouter because I love the program, but WMwifi won't work unless you have a working copy of ICS first.

Re: Tethering Issues
 

let me see if i can make this clearer. i can teather no problem without the hack. as soon as i apply the hack my ics program connect button greys out. not even connected to pc.

Re: Tethering Issues
 

Hmm. i think the hack is applied already in mighty. am i wrong?

Re: Tethering Issues
 

I am able to connect but it won't allow me to browse the net. I am on MightyRom 4.16 as well.

Re: Tethering Issues
 

its not the usb cord, the computer has to install the right driver, the driver u need is ppc driver and when it doesnt work its because it installs the generic driver...im wondering that u have to have activesync on puter so it has the right driver, 2 puters i tested had act.syn on and it install right driver and ics worked fine, 1 puter had no activesync and it installed the generic driver, and wouldnt work, all 3 were winxp sp3 just fyi

Re: Tethering Issues
 

well tried it on 4 puter, winxp sp3 no activesync and it installed right driver so im confused.........doesnt make sense....
