I keep getting this message box popping up all the time...
The Remote Party Has Ended This Session.

Now I am sure it is in regards to my data connection....of course. But is Sprint literally logging into my phone and killing my connection? Why? Is it because I play pokerstars through my wmwifirouter all day at work? The weird thing is, is that I will see that message mostly when I am not using my phone at all. Then I will pick it up and turn the screen on and its there.

Works on my Vogue:

Open PIE and connect to the internet
Open your dialer, click Menu -> Options
Select the Services Tab
Select Internet -> Get Settings
Click Start

Let IOTA run and that should do it.

It runs fine, and when they terminate my connection I can just re-connect. I am just worried that sprint might call me and be like wtf tether boy

It's gonna be an industry wide thing I think. Currently none of the carriers actively search for and charge users for tethering. They are all fine tuning their billing systems. When it happens, if it does, all the carriers will roll it out. So follow your anti-tethering threads, who knows if they work until they do their seek and destroy... That's why I don't follow the anti-tethering threads and don't think highly of them. No-one has ever got charged for it, so how does anyone know they work?????

I've got sprint, anti-tethering hacks, pdanet, and they still know I tether... I called and asked em...

I get the same message pop up (I am on verizon though) And it has happened even back when I tethered with my old E815. Random disconnect and no problems when I tried to reconnect. I have no idea what the cure is, but I believe there must be some program on the providers end that cancels idle data sessions to free up bandwidth or something to that effect.

And VZW knows when you are tethering, I had a $600 phone bill when EVDO got rolled out in my are years ago. No data plan or tethering option is bad.

This error used to happen all the time on my Mogul but it would only happen when I was tethering massive amounts of data... We're talking like maxing the 1.5-2.5Mbps connection I had for 15-20 minutes or so... That was *with* the tethering plan... without it, my Mogul would boot me consistently... so I got a data card and have only lost the network connection once in about 45 days of having it.
