Getting Around Tethering Detection with VZW?

If you launch explorer first then internet sharing, connect with usb and no VZW detection

I wouldn't know since I'm on Sprint but maybe your account is now "flagged" or something since they detected you tethering. I used to use WMWiFi but I can never get it to work anymore. Since I flashed DCD's latest I have used Internet Sharing with no problem so far (on Sprint).

This is my problem. I used tethering all day yesterday with no problems at all and surfed just fine. Now when I tether my 6800 to my laptop, my laptop detects the internet, but it goes to a VZW page that is trying to get me to pay $15 a month for tethering. I cant seem to get around this stupid page, I have even tried to connect using WMWIFIROUTER and still get the same page.

How do I get around this guys? I am assuming that there is a method to tether your phone without having to pay that additional amount?

I have searched a number of threads but they all seem to talk about how to disable tethering detection for Sprint. Just to be sure however I went and made sure that my phones registry did have those same modifications made and I still have the same problem.

Solution?

Thanks guys.

What exactly does this VZW page say?

I have searched all over to find the reg edit. I am using the 20272 kitchen and I no longer have this issue so have not revisited it. I cannot remember where it was. I did the reg edit because I had the same issue on another ROM
