can anyone explain, in simple terms for an idiot, how to tether a mogul from sprint to use it as a PC modem?
have unlimited data plan already.
thanks
You got stock ROM ????
If so then load up ICS and launch it, hit connect when plugged into your PC, which will detect Windows Mobile somthing and let it load. You will see a new network connection get a new IP address on your PC, and when it does you surf to your heart's content. Simple ??? yea .
I would also suggest using PdaNet from June Fabrics. This way, you can avoid the extra monthly tethering charges.

The ICS thing works great and is pretty easy. Launch ICS, plug USB cable in and hit connect on 6800. Look at status on 6800 and see if it says 'connected' or 'check usb cable'. If connected then enjoy, if 'check usb cable then look in device manager on PC and figure out why , then it should work good. Or get WMWifirouter and a WIFI card for your PC and do it wireless.

Laptop or PC.. it works the same.
1. Make sure you have a data plan with your carrier. (No data, no go)
2. Use Internet Sharing program on 6800 - (on sprint make sure Sprint PCS is selected at network connection). Click connect
3. Connect USB cable to 6800 and PC
4. Windows XP or Vista should detect and connect automatically
5. Bring up IE or Firefox to verify and surf away.
the process is the exact same whether on a laptop or desktop. they're both computers...
as long as you have a USB port and the right drivers for your OS, you're fine. works the same.
ok cool ill give it a shot and thanks for the input. I just had no idea if they were the same or not so thanks again.
got it to work but after a bit active sync comes up and ruins it. Im getting sick of active sync getting in the way all the time, it severely gets in the way of my regular connection and basically shuts down my connection untill I unplug my phone.
Anyway, back on topic, i keep getting this error "the romote party has endd this connection.
I have and unlimited data plan with sprint.
Search for app Kill Activesync.
now im getting an error code "67 registration code error your pcs vision username and or password may be incorrect"
then this pops up....."the romote party has end this connection.
activesync is not running

are you on the 3.27 radio? What rom are you on? I know DCD deletes the necessary reg keys already, so i'm guessin you are on a 3.27 radio.
3.16 rom with the 3.27 radio
when i get this error
"your pcs vision username and or password may be incorrect"
where do i put my password and username in, in the phone?

Are you running Internet Sharing (Use Spint PCS connection) BEFORE you plug in your USB cable? If not, Active sync will usually automatically run.
Do a SOFT reset and try it again.
the problem is with the radio. IT's crap for internet. Go back to 2.17 if Internet connection is important.

Is it possible to use ICS with wifi connection instead of cellular connection? Would be useful for a makeshift wireless adapter if your regular NIC or wireless NIC fails.
It seems that even if I have a wifi connection already going and then I launch ICS and connect, it still tries to dial out and use the cellular connection. You would think if it can share cellular data it could share wifi data just as easily but maybe im missing something.
Back in the early days of WiFi internet sharing the private interface was changed to WiFi with a manual registry edit. It might be possible to change the public interface to USB instead of defaulting too the cellular radio. It would probably take a fair amount of troubleshooting, but I'd think it would be possible. I think the entries were at HKLM\Comm\ConnectionSharing. Might be a starting point...
Search for WMWifiRouter
WiFiRouter
WiFiRouter works by making your ppc into a virtual access point. Then you can share the internet through it.
Last time I looked however, the author had withdrawn the program from circulation at version 0.91. There must be some problems with it because the author indicated that he would release a new version once he ironed out some bugs. If it is not back in distribution yet, you might be still able to find it on a torrent site. If not, PM me and I will send you the cab. Some of the cab collections at ppcgeeks ftp have it inside too. One good collection to check is Alex's.
I have used it and it works.

wmwifirouter is not what he's looking for. That is still using your phones internet. He wants to see how he could use the phone as a Network card, using the wifi connection, as oppossed to the sprintpcs connection.
I too would be very interested in this happening, if anyone knows of a way please tell.
ok, but why ??
Why would you actually want to do this anyway ??? I will look into it but it makes no sense when a USB WiFi dongle is $30 or so and does not run your phone down to use it, why would you want to use your phone as a very expensive USB WiFi card ??? Maybe I am missing some golden benefit ????
I dont get it either, but he did say in an emergency if your wifi went out.
Thank you for the responses.
Yes, it would be useful if your wireless nic went out (or regular nic for that matter) just to have something to use for the moment. Or maybe you brought your computer to a friends house and hes out of ports or you dont want to run 50ft cable to his kitchen table
But the titan has wireless, it has internet sharing, why doesnt the wireless show up in the list of available networks? I'm not saying its an all important feature but it would be yet another cool thing your phone could do.
i looking to use my mogul as a wifi access point (sharing Spint Vision thru wifi)
i tryed the procedure to mod the registry to enable it but i cant get it to work.
anyone know the exact procedure for the mogul
btw i also checked out WMWifiRouter...looks like it's no longer free
I also wanna know
Look the idea is simple. So where is the phone ICS telling it to use the celluar line and not allowing the option of the wifi?
Pls any one contact me. Its a cool feature for a phone

I bought software called Walking Hotspot, which essentially turns my Mogul/Titan into something like a Mifi, sharing my cellular data with my laptop. Otherwise known as tethering.
I only use it for emergencies because I am not sure if Sprint can tell that I am tethering. I believe if Sprint detects unauthorized tethering they will charge 4 cents per kilobyte of data .. which is very harsh!

Jav Atar
First of all, this is what I have:
Phone: XV6800
i have an "unlimited pda" plan through Verizon
ROM: DCD 3.1.6
RADIO: 3.42.30
I want to usb tether my phone to my laptop to use it as a modem. I do not want to incur any extra charges. (verizon warned me of a 20 dollar fee if i tether with out that option added to my plan).
There must be a way to do this, without getting charged.
Any help would appreciated.
Use the internet connection sharing in the Comm Manager, using either Bluetooth or USB. Works like a charm.
I like using WMWifiRouter, but that isn't USB, it's through the wifi

This works perfectly, you can even use it through bluetooth. I don't incur any extra charges. I know it works for sure with DCD's roms, because I am not getting charged. There is some reg key that gets changed so VZW does not know you are tethering.
Are there any USB drivers needed to get Internet Connection Sharing working through USB?
No, just plug the phone into your pc and start ICS.... It should DHCP an IP for your pc and surf away....

thats badass. i thought only WMWiFiRouter would work without me being charged. but it did mess up my wifi ability. thaanks
wmwifi
Wmwifirouter is also a great program, but (speaking from several months ago) when I would use it consistently over a period of time at school, or in a hotel, etc, it would overheat.
Using the USB method doesn't do that at all, and also seems to keep things going quick.
works
ok i can confirm that it works nicely. i am using internet sharing via usb and its nice and easy. as long as i dont get charged this will be lovely.
i think the secret cap on unlimited pda usage for verzon is 20 gigs a month. i'll just make sure i dont go over that.
thanks again for your help guys
I don't seem to have ICS on my XV6800. I have some program called Modem Link. Is there a way for me to put ICS on here?

You have to have upgraded to a DCD rom.
Dan
also note that ICS, is called "Internet Sharing" on DVD's roms and is in the program menu. not under settings. that confused me too, being a former herald owner, i had a cooked rom where the chef always had it in connection settings.
I use PdaNet and it works just fine for tethering. USB and Bluetooth.
ICS Advice
FYI - ICS works great but you must launch it on your phone first and tell it to connect before tethering it via USB to your computer.
Hope this helps.
VZW internet connection and Mac
Is there a way to use ICS or anything else to share internet (usb/bt/wifi) with a Mac (i've got a macbook) ? i've tried WMWifirouter but haven't gotten any of the versions to work with DCD 3.2.3...
thanks!
So I have tried this every way I can think of and not had any luck. I had it working a long time ago, but am having no luck now. I am using ICS and I have tried the reg edits under wmodem for CheckProfile=0, Multi-NAI=0, WModemDun=0. My phone connects to my laptop and opens a LAN connection and under status says "acquiring network address" for about a minute. It then pops up the yield sign and says "Limited or No Connectivity" On the phone side everything looks good. I get an error that says cannot connect sometimes, but not always. I tried deleting the Extension key under the Internet Sharing registry and still no luck. Anybody have any ideas? Is this a phone thing or a laptop thing. I am on WinXP and it does show in the device manager that a Internet Connection Sharing Device is attached and working. Thanks for any help.
I'm asking this question on BEHALF of MYSELF and OTHERS. Can you SHARE your LAPTOP or PC's connection with your android phone.
For example lets say i wanted to play a gameloft game but i need to download additional data through Wifi, is there a way for me to use my Laptop or Pc's connection through my phone so i can download the game for my phone.
If anyone has a solution to this question please make your answer VERY DETAILED
I am on a XPERIA X10, Please reply or answer THIS QUESTION
Advice:
I've Googled about this problem. I have data plan in my phone and no WiFi at home. Many people like me also use this way to get connection. But what they got were "FAILED". ONLY WAY = connect TO WiFi (can't say every game, but maybe 1% can use reverse tether method)

melvinchng Same here i dont have Wifi in my house, there certian games that wont download with my carrier network and insist on me downloading through wifi. I ALREADY know how to download GAMELOFT GAMES that require wifi only but it is very inconsistant and dodgy on my x10.
Theres a wifi signal on my laptop i can connect to the but the signal on android phones are so bad i just cant connect to the router.
If your pc has wifi(I know you don't have wifi in your house) you can download and use the app connectify for windows
If your pc has a working wifi card (with drivers installed of course), then you can share its connection via wifi. If you have windows 7, you can use "Connectify" or "Virtual Router". If you have windows xp and above (on a dell pc. Don't know if it works on others), then you can use "Dell Laptop to Hotspot Converter".
there is a guide on my device's forum about this here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1229558
for the step where it says "bridged local area connection and LG adaptor," you must find the equivalent of the lg adaptor that applies to your phone (if that makes sense). other than that, i think it should work.
What you are looking for is called "usb-internet pass-through" correct? Alot of custom roms already have it as a feature in the wifi setting, next to wifi hotspot. Im not familiar with your device or whether you are rooted but its pretty handy. Can also work as a wireless card, as in turn wifi setting on the phone and plug it into a desktop that doesnt have a wifi card and presto, wifi through your phone thats through a wireless router so its not eating up your data quota and much faster than the 3g on your phone.

Hi! Since I don't have WI-FI,and I don't want to use my Data to update my apps,I'm asking here for a solution.I want to update my apps on my S2.I wonder if I could do that via a cable,like and iPad/iPhone via iTunes.Is there any way to do that?I have a Windows XP PC,Galaxy S2 I9100 and a cable to connect it to PC.
Yes I think this is possible. Its called reverse USB tethering or something like that. Use search.
Pc will still need the net Or tether from phone. Don't you have open wifi near you? My mate lives next to mc Donalds "great place to live I no" and he uses there's. I use 3network and monthly I use about 4 to 5gig. Try and get unlimited net from network Its well worth it. :thumbup:
