Got phone as modem to work

[lowspeed]

TRY hard reset... i will be very surprised if it doesn't work after that.


It could be that pdanet is screwing up things.

-hard reset
-connect once (google.com)
-Disconnect data
-remove regkey
-turn off phone service
-wait 5 min
-soft reset
-check that reg key still gone
-connect to data
-plug in USB
-attempt sharing
-fail

between the un-awesome speeds and the lack of tethering, I'm gettin' bummed. I LOVE the hardware but sprint's network is poo, wish this was available from verizon.

-----EDIT-----
Just tried a few more times. Here's a oddity. When I attempt to connect via ICS, it disconnect the Treo from my laptop.

Maybe it's something with your laptop config ?

Try another computer?

Mine is still working ... both BT and USB

For those having trouble, here's the trick. For Pocket ICS to work, you have to establish a connection to the internet *before* running Internet Sharing. Open PIE or similar to get the connection status icon to switch from a square "1x" or "EV" to the icon with the swoosh arrows, then to to Start->Programs and run Internet Sharing. It's worked every time I've tried it (which is admittedly not that many times).

Hope this helps!

Hey guys, I had no problems with Internet Sharing when I was running some cooked roms recently (using BuildOS). However, I've just recently updated to the "Official Sprint ROM" with the 3.03 rom version and 3.42 radio and now my internet sharing wont work anymore. I used to do just what darrenf just mentioned about getting the connection up first then starting internet sharing and it worked fine... but with this new rom I get that "Error Code: 67" or whatever again. Any Ideas? also, with the cooked roms I had the option, when going into Int. Sharing, to select "Connect to Sprint PCS" or "Connect to phone as modem"... now I don't get that option... Any Ideas??

Thanks in advanced for your help!

GOT IT! went to HKLM\comm\internet sharing... and changed the forceConnect field to "Sprint PCS" instead of "Phone as modem"

There are no ROM releases for the 800w yet that I've heard of.

I am trying to delete the reg key on the 800w and it is saying access denied. Do you know how i can delete it?

Delete this string: Extension - IcsHelper.dll
3) Start -> Programs -> Internet sharing -> Connect (I'm using USB cable)

EDIT- I did change the usb connection type in settings and unchecked the value to double the download threshold to 550kbs but that was about it.
