Internet Sharing disconnects

edgarpoe · #1 (**permalink**) 01-02-2010, 12:59 AM

hey i'm using 23506 v4 (absolute best ROM!!! in my opinion) on my bell vogue and Internet Sharing disconnects on me every 10 min's or so. i noticed that mobsync (vista) kept showing up at the same time this was happening so i tried uninstalling it, but it still disconnects and closes off data connection.

Anyone else find this problem?

There is probably a setting in Activesync on your vogue that needs to be changed. I don't know what it would be though.

I have never had this problem myself.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

EDIT!!

fixed the problem on my pc, but can't figure out how to disable activesync on the vogue. Set it to not sync, but it still loads itself back in task manager out of nowhere and when it does, that's when ICS gets disabled. More Searching to do i guess!
Internet Connection Sharing comes in handy for me cause we live in a DSL-Free zone and satellite is way too costly. I even take the back cover off and snap on a custom heat sink to keep battery from overheating. I'm getting around 140kbps download speeds with bell EVDO so it's worth it compared to 4.8kbps dialup.

That is odd. When I connect mine to my pc first it will sync but when I open ICS I can hit connect and ICS will connect and it won't disconnect until I unplug the cable or I hit disconnect. I am running my own 6.1 rom though. Which rom are you using? Maybe you should check the registry and make sure the ICS reg edits have been made. Check this post for those edits:

May be power settings?Try to uncheck options for external power.
I tether alot (18Gb in december).Im confused they didnt charged me lol.May be its a part of my "simply everything" plan)when driving interstate and it stayed connected for hours.
Even when I have no reception or its switching to roam or I answered incoming call...

Wow vin 18gb, I thought I was bad. I've constantly went over the 5gb limit on sprint, and have yet to be charged or a letter about my usuage. Maybe because I'm on a legacy plan that was originally unlimited.

lol i share both vin's similar plan (with bell) and his confusion (as well as his data usage) it almost seams to be a usb problem for me cauuse pc makes the 'disconnected device' sound. I wonder though if i'm overloading things cause it happens mostly when running BT's lol. i know my packet size is set to BIG, i'll try it back at default size.
Thanks Vin, u r the ROM GOD! lmao.

Oh ya i forget to mention it seems to work fine browsing, the problem happens when i'm d/l'ing BT's.

ok scrap that, it also happens while browsing... Also changing my packet size didn't fix it either. Power save is disabled on both pc and vogue. I'm stumped!

ok i think it's just a vista problem. I ran a download last night running win. 7 instead and it ran almost all night without disconnecting.

ok as it looks to me is vista's power saving features are the culpret although i disabled it. Win7 ran for a couple of hours before disconnecting the usb. I went into Advanced power settings and there is an actual setting in there for usb (was set for 4hrs), I disabled it and BINGO! I can leave the vogue plugged in all the time now without problems. For some reason even with data transfering, usb was getting put into power save mode.
Transfers at 200kbps d/l's, much better than dialup in my 'rural' neighbourhood. (and cheaper than satellite)

Thank's guys, it's a fluke problem but hope it helps someone out someday.

Long live the Rogue Vogue!
