Got phone as modem to work

[bigmoe88]

got it to work!
1. used PHM registry editor and deleted IcsHelper.dll
2. Took out the battery and put it back it.
3. connected to internet via PIE
4. closed PIE
5. opened Internet Sharing
6. plugged in USB cable
7. pressed connect
8. and it worked!!

NOW does anyone know if this is considered PAM?, cuz i have the 10 dollar standard power vision internet and im not supposed to use PAM lol

An easier method might just be to spend the money needed for an application similar to PDANet. I just installed it and it worked immediately without a hitch.

Does Unlimited Data under Sero cover PAM????

No, it doesn't include PAM, but it's working with the steps I posted at beginning...just switched to SERO a few wks ago and should have my bill shortly- will report back with hopefully no other data charges since SERO has unlimited data included

1) Registry Editor...
2) HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing
3) Delete this string: Extension - IcsHelper.dll
4) Wait 5 minutes and grab a Coke
5) Soft-Reset
6) Establish internet connection (open Internet Explorer etc)
7) Plug in USB cable to computer and phone
Start -> Programs -> Internet sharing -> Connect

I only see "Settings" and "Status" as the 2 folders under Internet Sharing. Under settings, there is forcecell connection and MaxCMconnectretries" and under Status, there is "enabled"

Which file do I edit? I don't see the IcsHelper

What "file" are you talking about? Registry editor doesn't delete files...and there's no mention of deleting files anywhere.

is there a way to block incoming calls to voicemail while the phone is set up for PAM?? I can make outgoing calls fine, but if I receive an incoming call it automatically disconnects me and have to soft reset

text msg'ing doesn't D/C me though.

thanks

works like a charm! thank you! this was the only reason I really need a phone, and I had to switch back to my vogue to get online to test this, now both my phones go online for now! thanks it does work well, and I have a unlimited vision pack and have used my vogue like this for 6 months, and sprint has never said a thing! thank you!

You mean your 5GB max vision pack plan

...not that you'd use that up in a month...

Kudos for this. I've been trying it for a week. It works fine.
