Getting Around Tethering Detection with VZW?
 
Okay. So this thread is not about how to tether my device to my PC. That works for me perfectly with a number of different tethering methods.

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.

i was told if you use the USB connection and internet sharing from the 6.1 release that VZ wont know that you're tethering. i haven't needed to use it just yet to test it out as i usually use wmwifirouter. are you using internet sharing? and what version of wifirouter?

You can also use a program called PDANet. Works great. There's a 10-day trial, I believe, as well. Here's the link -> http://www.junefabrics.com/pdanet/index.php

I am using the new version of WMWIFIRouter. I think it is 1.08 or something along those lines.

Also I have tried using a USB connection and the internet connection sharing app that is installed in WM 6.1.

There is a registry edit to fix this problem. You may be able to search to find it. I will try to search for it later.

If you could find it PLEASE let me know. I searched earlier and I found the one for Sprint. I have already done the sprint one to no avail.

I had this problem, but only when I tried to tether without previously connecting to the internet. If you establish an internet connection first, it works fine.

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).

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

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
