How is this different from WM6 Internet Sharing?

When you receive a call, it disconnects. I noticed with 2.0, you don't have to reconnect. I'm going to give it a work out later tonight...

I personally never got invoiced for tethering using pdanet. I dont do alot of downloading/uploading while tethering though, like torrents and such. Just simple browsing on the laptop while in the car. I'm probably wrong, but doesnt pdanet somehow mask the fact that you're/the user is tethering? Thought i read that somewhere. dschoenike

Re: PDANet v2.0

Anyone know why "proxy mode" doesn't work on WM5? Kind of a bummer on a 700wx as any incoming call drops the connection AND sends the call to VM. Not very useful when your SSH'd into a server fixing something important and the boss calls.

Re: PDANet v2.0

Found a crack as I'm against software vendors asking for money every time they come out with a release...

but..... then saw the upgrade discount and went for it:)

One of the best internet-sharing apps out there:) definately recommend it - and it's saved my butt a few times...

Re: PDANet v2.0

I think I may have found some issues w/v2.0. With v2.0 I can't access ppcgeeks ftp by clicking "QLinks" then "FTP Upload/Downloads". Also file transfers to the FTP do not load the complete file. While it says complete, if you download the archive, it says unexpected end of archive! I reinstalled v1.8 and issues went away...

Here is a reply I got back from support@junefabrics.com:

Hi Don

This is indeed a known issue with the proxy mode and we are working on that. To work around it you just need to tap on the PdaNet icon on the phone to bring up settings, then uncheck "Proxy Mode" untill we have a fix for it.

Well, the 3.56 Mogul ROM doesn't even have a PAM mode (mine doesn't)... And I think you can use either, since the NAI isn't tied down to the network you connect to. Well, I'm not 100% sure on that, but for about 4 months my phone defaulted to PAM (for regular data usage) for unknown reasons on the original stock ROM. I then flashed to a custom ROM. Never heard anything about it.
Also, I remember reading somewhere that the program selects (before any hacks) what username and password you use to log in to Sprint's network. Thus when using ICS, your phone automatically tries to login with the NAI credentials for a Sprint Phone as Modem plan. If you don't have PAM plan, you get rejected (Error 67?). This happens regardless if you use Sprint PCS or Phone as Modem as the connection method. Whereas pocketie uses your normal powervision username and password, which is what PDANet copies (I think). That is why you could get around the ICS login by simply opening up pocketie first, logging in using power vision credentials, and THEN using ICS.
So you can use either connection method so long as you are logging in with the correct credentials, Sprint sees it as normal data usage. Unless of course you go crazy. if you do, tell em you have a slingbox. Legit usage, lots of traffic.

On a completely separate and wholly on topic note, I did get this version of PDANet (bought, i'm in my legit phase right now, lol). It seems pretty stable to me, no problems using a USB cable. Haven't tested it out completely yet, but no complaints so far.

Proxy mode is what allows PDANet to have side by side voice and data. Dunno how, but it seems to work.

Re: PDANet v2.0

Wow, you have to pay to upgrade. That's not what they said when I emailed them.

Email from me to them: (2/6/2007)

Hello,

I am considering buying your program, but I was wondering what do you guys do about upgrades? Free within major versions (like a 1.72 to a 1.92 would be free, but 2.0 would have to pay for an upgrade?) Also I can install it on more than one computer, (I use a few different computers) just as long as it's only on one device (so it can only be used once at a time?)

Thanks,
Drew

THEIR EMAIL RESPONSE: (2/7/2007)

Hi,

As long as you have the same phone device, the upgrade is FREE.

Still rather disappointed about having to pay for the upgrade when they specifically stated you don't have to pay for it. I'll stick with 1.80 unless they give the upgrade free.

Especially when with the upgrade, the main feature for upgrading doesn't work!

I hear you. It works sometimes. Well, hopefully the next upgrade will be free, yeah? More a fix though...
