Using your TP as a modem
 

Im sorry im on a mobile phone and i need to access the internet and do some work, i was using PDAnet but i can't use it anymore is there any free applications i can use to use the internet off my touch pro. I know were supposed to do a search first but i really dont want to spend 5hrs on my phone looking for something. If was on a reg internet i would have did a search..thanks for any quick responses.

Which carrier are you on? Are you using a stock ROM? For quick connection just go to Settings\Connections\USB to PC check the box stating "Ask me first..." When you connect the data cable your PPC should give you the Phone as modem choice.

I have sprint...

Re: Using your TP as a modem
 

I am assuming you have a stock ROM. If so, install the following cab, unless you have already done so. Then go to programs and select Internet Sharing press connect and then connect the data cable. Your PC will install the necessary drivers, should work for you.

Hello, Today I received a new phone from Sprint. My old phone internet sharing worked perfect, however the new phone I cant seem to connect. I have installed the internet sharing fix, etc. the connect button is grey and will not connect. I have tried everything that a HTC Touch Pro Dummy should do. Please advise and all help is appreciated.

Re: Using your TP as a modem
 

this worked once for me and now the response varies from error67 and remote party has ended the connection. not sure what if any were the specific steps i took to get it to work that first time. i have no wifi on my laptop. i was so excited when i got it to work and now have spent 4hrs trying different things to get this to work. I ASKED SPRINT TO GIVE ME THE PHONE AS MODEM PLAN AND THEY SAID THAT ADD ON IS NO LONGER BEING OFFERED, NOT IF I CHANGE MY PLAN NOT ANYTHING THERE IS NO PHONE AS MODEM, SO I ASKED IF I COULD MAKE IT WORK ON MY OWN BECAUSE I KNOW IT IS POSSIBLE, WOULD I CHARGED ANY VIOLATION FEE OR GET IN TROUBLE IN ANY WAY AND THEY SAID "NO IF YOU CAN DO IT THEN THERE WILL BE NO VIOLATION"... and now the darn thing wont work and its driving me CRAZY

lol well Im pretty good friends with a sprint worker who would say differently but that's nothing new for sprint not to know what they have already in writing.

Re: Using your TP as a modem
 

i now get it to say connected everytime, and my pc's network connections says that im connected to the internet but when i open internet explorer it say IE can not connect to the web site, "it appears you are connected to the internet but page will not load" "most likely cause, you are not connected to the internet" WTFWTFWTFWTFWTFWTFWTFFFFFFF EFFIN F

Re: Using your TP as a modem
 

IM a little confused about what your saying they have in writeing. they said if i had an old plan i could get phone as modem but because my new plan is a"new plan" it can not be changed back to the old planand they will not be offering phone as modem on any new plans and once you switch to a new plan you can not change back you must be grandfathered in. didnt make a whole lotta sense to me so i asked for the girl to put it in the notes and als requested an interaction record number, which she gave me. im not real happy with them right now it took 9 replacements of my mogul with crap reconditioned moguls, IN 5 WEEKS, for them to upgraded me to a pro. so i wouldnt doubt she had no idea what she was talking about.

Re: Using your TP as a modem
 

i used to use internet sharing on my HTC VOGUE from sprint but then i ran over it and they gave me the HTC touch pro cause they no longer offer the VOGUE. So i intalled internet sharing and it connected but i was super slow and couldnt watch videos or download music like i used to do with the vogue and i would loose connection and get error messages once in a wile. so i whent oline and tryed PdaNet 2.0 trial versio and it was amazing how fast and error free it was but then it expired so i had to downgrade to PdaNet 1.8 wich is now free and works just as good.

PdaNet 1.8 or 2.0 are actualy way better and easiyer to use once installed all you have to do is connect your USB cable to your computer and phone and it will automaticly connet to the internet. ITS DEFENATLY A MUST HAVE.

where have you been? you apparently didnt do your homework before you came in here or did you just start typing without thinking?

Re: Using your TP as a modem
 

Thanks HTC_Touch 89!!! Worked great for me!

Re: Using your TP as a modem
 

your a fool if you pay for something you get for free. the speed has nothing to do with this kind of software its the phone and its connection. But I guess I cant be mad at ya if you just like spending money for no reason.

Re: Using your TP as a modem
 

well last night i finally got internet to work every time by simply restarting my computer, guess i should have thought of that sooner. so it worked everytime last night. aaaannnddd this morning the phone wont get past waiting for network. if its not one thing its another. cant wait to get this all figured out. the speed last night was really great. just a tad slower than my pc's internet on time warner's motorola sb5101 cable modem.

THANKS TO ALL THE HELPFUL PEOPLE ON THISS SITE IM REALLY ENJOYING MY PHONE MORE THAN EVER!

Re: Using your TP as a modem
 

dude i didnt pay for PdaNet it was free to try the new 2.0 for 48hrs and when that was done i just downloaded PdaNet 1.8 for free. you dont have to pay for it.

And youre the fool for thinking that you have to pay for PdaNet. everything is free in the internet if you look for it.:laughing3:

Re: Using your TP as a modem
 

what up bro you dont have to restart youre Computer everytime its just that internet Sharing with the touch pro. is slightly different than with the older models that had WM 6.1 it worked great for the VOGUE but for the pro you have to refresh your active sync connection between your phen and computer and i will reconnet and then just click on the connect icon on your phone.

But like i said in an erlyer post, you should get PdaNet 1.8 its free to down load and it works great.

once you find the cab file (using google.com) download it to your computer and once its done restart your computer and then connetc your HTC phone to your computer and it will automaticly install on your phone. its easy.:thumbleft:
