Can't get tethering to work with 3.56
 

Okay so I performed the necessary regedits on my phone which are supposed to get ICS to work (forcing Sprint PCS and no phone as modem) but I cannot get tethering to work like it used to.

I click connect on the phone to tether and then plug in my usb cable and the phone never finds the network like it used to. It says connected on ICS and I hear the phone connection sound to the computer but it does not tether.

Is there something I'm missing? It's working with PDAnet but I'd rather use ICS, or atleast have it work

i tried ics.. and it didn't work either, mayne... i'm still having trouble gettin wm wifi router to stay on consistently...

Sounds like an issue with the PC. Is it the same computer you used before? Does it have Activesync/WMDC installed? Can you sync normally?

Re: Can't get tethering to work with 3.56
 

I'm using the same computer as always with WMDC on vista installed. I didn't change anything on the computer. It syncs properly. PDAnet works but I just can't get ICS to work.

How does the file you posted do anything for tethering?

The title of the thread your link points to says "Re: Voicemail Alerts on 3.56!"

I think you need to recheck your link...

I've been able to use tethering using my phone as a modem through bluetooth, but now it connects and takes me to Verizon's "To Buy Broadband Access, dial blah blah blah" page. Once I do this, I have to call Verizon and have my phone reprovisioned, otherwise even when I try to surf using PIE on the phone, it still goes to that page. I assume that it has to do with MultiNAI, but I've made all the changes to disable MultiNAI (at last everything that I used to do prior to 20226) ](*,)

Still no answer?

Re: Can't get tethering to work with 3.56
 

May seem silly, but make sure the phone is selected as the modem in your dialup connection settings.

I 've had the phone recognized as a new device after a flash before, which means I needed to set the new instance of the phone as the modem, otherwise it wouldn't connect.

Will you go into your registry and verify that the value of "ForceCellConnection" at HKLM/Comm/Internet Sharing/Settings is "Sprint PCS" ? Alternatively, you can delete that key altogether, and you will again have the ICS drop down box where you can choose. For convenience, I usually just set the key to Sprint PCS.

There may also be an extension pointing at isext.dll in HKLM/Comm/Internet Sharing. That can be deleted that as well.

If all of that is already set as it should be, then you shouldn't be having any issues on the phone side. Can you connect over BT or Wifi (via WMWiFiRouter) using Internet Sharing?

If you are using the ICS that comes with the new rom you need to obtain the old ICS..I found the Cab file somewhere. It patches the ICS on the new rom.

im on pre 6, 7 0r 8 (not sure) but my ICS works with BT and USB

Re: Can't get tethering to work with 3.56
 

I just double checked my settings bedoig and they were correct and it still wasn't working. I decided to delete the keys and still no go.


officerperkins, if you could post that cab up here I would be greatly appreciative. Thank you

Re: Can't get tethering to work with 3.56
 

mine works with no "extras, edits or cabs"

Re: Can't get tethering to work with 3.56
 

Okay now I'm puzzled. I just connected my home desktop to the internet with Internet Sharing the way that I have it now but it won't work with my laptop. I didn't change anything on my laptop.
I think activesync did update but I don't think that has anything to do with this.

Re: Can't get tethering to work with 3.56
 

Could Pdanet being installed be what is causing my Internet Sharing not to work?

Re: Can't get tethering to work with 3.56
 

Activesync can be a nightmare. It still sounds like an issue with the connection to the PC, and not the ICS setup on the device itself. I doubt your problems relate to PDANet being installed though. One thing that often fixes a number of Activesync/WMDC related issues is disabling advanced networking in Start-->Settings-->Connections tab-->USB to PC (I think that's correct, going from memory).

I'm connecting to the computer but not to the internet. My phone dials out to #777 but on the computer, I'm not getting internet connectivity. Can anyone help?

Re: Can't get tethering to work with 3.56
 

I installed a cab called wmodem something or other and it got rid of the "error 67" and then i could tether my desktop to my mogul....then all of a sudden it stopped working....grrrrr any help from anyone>>>>>???????????

Edit: Active sync was my problem. after you do the reg edits ( to stop your carrier from snooping) just open Internet sharing and click connect. It will say "trouble connecting, check USB cable" (this will also start a data connection)after that just plug in USB cable and you're connected. This will stop Active sync from starting/connecting. You cannot have active sync and IS connected/working at the same time. good luck.

Re: Can't get tethering to work with 3.56
 

you can disable the Active sync connection whenever you connect your pc to your phone, that way Active sync wont always start up whenever you connected your phone to pc via usb.
