I'm seeing a registry edit to hack sprint tethering, does anyone know how to hack Verizon?
just use WMWiFi Router
I would love to, but this is the second time i am going to have to hard reset my phone after WMWifirouter jacked up my wifi. Also, it would be convienent for times that im at a pc that doesnt have wifi.
ICS works well also, and uses a usb cable
He wants it fore free "Nudge, Nudge"

He wants the hack to make it free so that Verizon does not detect it. If you get my drift.....
got into QPST and remove "dun" from your id.... can't remember what tab it's on in the service programming menu but it's there... also don't click the AMPS tab or you will be closing it out and starting over again.

Okay, Okay, i follow. Removing "Dun" from a serve string was exactly what i had to do on my voyager and other LG phones to hack the dun. I have had QPST installed on my PC before but never needed it because i used bitpim, so i uninstalled it. I didnt know QPST even worked for pocket PCs. I thought it was for quailcomm and LG phones.
so would i do it the same way? Hook my phone up to my pc and run QPST file explorer on my PC? Also, do you have a copy of it or know where i can download?
You should check out PDAnet. There is a website called warez-bb. They have all kinds of programs to download for free. PDAnet usually costs money but you can download it off of warez-bb for free.

Fastest way to get a virus.....Fact.
I only deal with rated torrents from trusted sites. Thanks for the reply, but ive tried it and it doesnt work. I dont need a program to make a dial up connection on my PC using my phone as a modem. The problem was that you can dial out but verizon has a http portal page that pulls up saying that you need to buy the service. I needed a way to get into the service menu of my phone and change the outgoing server. Only, i didnt know if there was a service menu on this phone. But someone was nice enough to show me how to access it, and like my voyager, i just changed the string and now i can use free dun. No QPST needed.
Cheers to free tethering.
odd... I use ICS and big V has never caought on. want me to drop the cab I use here?
You can download PDAnet for free from their website. I use it on my Touch Pro and Blackjack II.
Thanks, i have ICS. I just needed a hack to bypass verizon.
Why would you use PDAnet anyway? just make a dial out account with the #777 settings etc and set your phone (bluetooth or USB) as the modem.
PDANet just runs as a app in your tray and you just need to right click and click connect. I have not tried any others really. I have just found this one really easy to use.
this is all you need... http://ppcgeeks.com/forum.ppcgeeks/showthread.php?t=47075
Does anyone have a suggestion about how to get into qpst on the Touch Pro 2?
I know it is a basic question... thanks in advance

Can you please tell me how to access service menu on the phone and enable internet connection? I usually used internet sharing file to connect to internet. Now I think verizon just blocked me. I'm a new user and need a step-by-step instruction. Thanks!

I thought I saw a .cab file here somewhere that would allow you to bridge the 3G/EDGE connection to the WiFi connection so I can share my 3G over WiFi to laptop or whatever.
Anyone seen this? I cant remember the name, thought it was something like WMBridge or something.

internet connection sharing will allow you to share your 3G over bluetooth or USB to your laptop !!
and now that I think about it you can almost certainly go through the arduous and difficult task of getting activesync to connect over an adhoc wifi connection, once that is done you will be able to use the phone as a 3G modem for your laptop.

u can do it tht way but its hard, and requires a registry hack, which to be fair doesnt work all that well, disconns after a couple of mins at best, bluetooth is the way to go if u want wireless connecton, although i use the lead for security, u can use the 3g conn as a modem, but then if u like us use tmob wb and walk then u cnt use ur data package.
hope this helps

The app is called wmWifiRouter. Looks like they just came out with a new version the 10th. Forget bluetooth, its not secured at all, and only lets you share with one device. With wmwifirouter you can share with many. See the link below.

excellent that is exactly what I was looking for, I will play with it today and see if I can get it to work.

Should be a simple matter of copying the exe to your device and running it. It takes care of all the registry settings, starting up Internet Sharing, keeping the connection alive, and with the latest version you can even put the unit to sleep and your connection will stay alive. About the only thing it doesn't do is set up a peer-to-peer profile with a fixed IP address, but the thread above walks you through that. Make sure you set the profile to use WPA encryption (NOT WEP or 'open') and set a password.

The directions are confusing because the newer method was grafted onto the same thread as the older method. So it's hard to tell what's what. I put about an hour into this but made no progress. The exe file doesn't appear to do anything on the Athena...

Sorry, just saw your response as I wrote mine. Here is what I did:
1. set up an ad hoc network on my Athena. IP address 192.168.0.1 (another place saide 192.168.0.7--tried both)
2. Set up on my client (MacBook Pro). A connection was established.
3. Ran the exe file -- nothing happened. One comment said to deactivate the network before running. I did this in various degrees with no success.
4. Also opened up the Internet Sharing applet and tried to connect manually -- "USB cable is not connected."
Clearly I'm missing something here. It would be very handy to have this capability. Can you clarify??
Not sure why you are having a problem - I unzipped the zip, transfered the exe to the athena and it ran on the first try after first setting up the ad-hoc wifi connection (settings, connections, wi-fi, network adapters tab, IEEE..., use specific IP address in the 192.168.x.x range; then go to the other tab and set up an ad-hoc connection).
I had an even worse experience. Everytime I ran the exe, my Athena locked up, needing a complete reset each time.
I gave up in the end .
I have got other methods to work using Mortscipts, but it does seem like something that would be well worth someones time sorting out for the good of us all.
Have you tried the latest version of wmWifiRouter? The developer released a new version of it earlier this month. Its on version 0.8 now.
I've tried getting wmwifirouter to work on every build and can't get it to work. I've used it with no problem easily on 1.6.9 and lower but not any of the WM6.1 builds. I use it with my iPod Touch when on the bus. Can someone help please?
I have it working on mine and I am running 2.2.3. Make sure that the Wifi switch is turned on before you install the app otherwise you will have problems.

and ALSO make sure it is switched on BEFORE you open the app and BEFORE you click connect.....
also, I have found it helps to make sure that you are connected to the internet BEFORE you open and before you switch on the wifi...
i've followed those steps precisely and it doesnt work. I'm running dcd titan 2.2.6 and wmwifirouter 0.91. its only worked for my on the old versions. i can connect to my ipod touch with the old version just not the with the 2.x versions. has anyone tried it with 2.2.4 or 2.2.6?

You might have to create a adhoc connection on your phone. I know the newer version does this for you, but I have had better success creating a connection.
Steps
1. Click on "Start", "Settings", "Connections", and select "Wi-Fi".
2. Click on "Menu", "Add New.."
3. Under "Network Name" create a name you want to call your connection. Make sure "Connects to" is set for The Internet. Check the box for ad-hoc connection. Click "Next"
4. "Authentication" should be Open, "Data Encryption" should be Disabled.
5. Click "Next" then "Finish"
I can confirm WMWifiRouter worked on 2.2.3 and does not work on 2.2.6 (out of the box, at least).
I will try an ad-hoc connection tonight and see if it works. If not, I'm prolly going to downgrade back to 2.1.0.
WMWifirouter 0.91 works on 2.2.6. I just used it about 20 mins ago while i was on the road

It works for me too but I get kicked off line about every 5-10 mins. Is this sprints fault?
Can somebody send me the .93 (or .91) cab, so i can try in on my setup? I lost my memory card and it was on it.
Can anyone once and for all actually confirm that you do not get charged the $15/month fee for using WMWifiRouter?
Thanks and hope everything works out well for Chainfire

@dalvarez7,
I think you should remove that file as Chainfire doesn't want it distributed.
What $15 a month fee are you talking about. If you have a unlimited data plan you should not encounter any extra fees for the carrier.

Yes, but our lovely cellular carriers like to charge us an extra 15 dollar a month tethering fee if they detect you're using your phone for internet on your laptop.
I have never had a extra fee charged for using WifiRouter but I am on Verizon so I can not say for sure for any other carrier. I know that Verizon has a tethering option but I think, and I could be wrong, that the only way they can tell you are connecting with your computer is because you are using their program to do it. When you connect with WifiRouter you are using a program called internet sharing which is usually not installed on the phones when you first get them. This program uses NAT translation and routing to provide connectivity to computers through the wireless link on your phone. To the provider they only see your phone connected to the internet as all connections to the internet are processed by the routing software on the phone. I suppose that they could analyze all traffic over the link but I doubt that they do that as it seems it would be more hassle then it is worth and it would be hard to prove that it came from a computer and not from the phone.

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.

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!

I have searched extensively on Google, and XDA but can't find the right answer.
I want to tether my phone. I can do this directly in Android but my current carrier brings up a message in the browser saying it's not supported on my current plan.
I'm addressing this, but in the mean time I'm curious if there is a way round it, hypothetically.
I have seen some Apps, such as ClockWork Mod Tether, but since my phone is rooted I wondered if there is a more elegant solution that doesn't involve any software to be added to my PC.
I read about using TB to freeze a specific App/Process but couldn't find any details.
Any advice would be great,

HOW have you not heard of android wifi tether? One of the first reasons I had for rooting the first Android phone I got.
There's also Barnacle Tether, available on the play store.
Guess Barnacle is gone... but there are other tethering apps on the play store though.
And I'm wrong again. Barnacle is still there, but doesn't show up when I search from my phone. How curious.
Since your phone is rooted you can download wireless tether.
Google it and you will easily find the download link or even directly via the play store.

I appreciate the reply, but if you read my post again the issue I'm having is not an app to enable wifi tether directly on the handset, it's that the packet data is being detected as not from the phone so I get a message, on the computer, in the internet browser saying my priceplan doesn't include tethering. I cant get around this 3 website redirect. So, I need a way to tether, without the network knowing... The apps you mention work when the block is at the phone level I believe.... This is something different Three is doing..
Please correct me if I'm wrong though...
Oh, and as for the apps not showing up, the mobile phone providers asked google to block these apps for certain customers.. if you connect to a wifi network when in flight mode, and go the google market, you should still be able to see them...

And did you ACTUALLY download the tether app and try, or were you using the tether built into the settings of Android? Because it sure doesn't sound like you downloaded the app...

Initially when I first posted I was trying the built in app but I downloaded the app you suggested anyway, but it didn't work. would connect to the computer but no data connection. Unsure if its an app problem or still a three problem, but I don't see how this app would fix the three problem. Does it somehow mask the PC data connection??? I couldn't see anything in the settings or set up that suggest that it would, it just looks like a more feature rich wifi hotspot app?? In addition I found mention that that others with my issue have also tried these apps like barnacle and it didn;t resolve the problem....

They can suspend your service if they discover you are doing tethering on your device if you are not alowed in your current plan.
I Hope you wont have any issues.
Otherwise it is possible that the sim card lock the feature even on rooted phone when detect thetering or it is impossible ?

yes I suppose they could do, but like I say I'm resolving this with my contract. It's more that I'm curious how they are doing it, and on principle don't like being told what I can and can't do
It can't be a sim lock.
I just tried tethering a Macbook, and amazingly that worked!.. SO, It must be something to do with the Packet Headers I'm guessing.. Or they are doing some other more detailed packet sniffing... It means there is definitely a software route around it... Need a clever developer to read this thread
I guess clockworkMod Tether might work, but I want a solution without a PC install..

yes I suppose they could do, but like I say I'm resolving this with my contract. It's more that I'm curious how they are doing it, and on principle don't like being told what I can and can't do

That doesn't make any sense. If it works with a mac book, it should work with your windows machine too. Unless your windows machine has some kind of proxy?

no proxy.. I'm as confused as you. The headers are different on a mac though, Unix based system... Need to know how 3 detect at a network level its not phone data... this difference with a mac must be a clue...
pda net 3.50. Had to install pc software.. Is a USB tether solution.. but it works, so will do, until I get my price plan sorted.... Still would like a more elegant wifi solution though.. Come on you clever devs, .... SCRATCH that :-(((( It worked for 5 mins, now it comes up with same message in the internet Browser.. damn it!!! three are too smart :-(

They are blocking the port 80.. they sent you to their walled garden page. I think its on your provider proxy side now

Is there a way around this. What do you mean by, on the provider proxy side?
Shortly after PDA net stopped working, I was also getting the three message on the browser directly on my phone.. after about an hour, my phone web browser started working normall again :-(

When you use thetering, you embark to the provider internet network.
for example my provider is Bell Canada and their proxy is web.wireless.bell.ca
this one is for the device internet
for the thetering one they use another configuration settings when i connect my device to the computer.
What happen is when you plug your device to the computer, a signal is sent to the provider stating you entered in thetering mode. You don't have access to thetering so your internet connection is limited to the walled garden of the provider stating you are not subscrided to the service. Thats why i think they blocked the port 80 on your device and redirect you to that page.
Now for the Macintosh story.. It is not impossible that you can connect without problem with a mac and safari. I know a lot of people emulating a handled device with the Mac and the safari browser and those peeps didnt had a thetering plan.
The differences came with the drivers installed. Mac OS one are quite different in term of functionality than windows, thats why maybe the provider is able to sniff more easily people using windows but i am not a senior programmer. I am currently taking courses to become one but for now it is only suppositions. If i am wrong feel free to correct me but I am quite sure about what i am saying and that's why you dont have issues with a mac

This sounds correct to me. I'm pretty annoyed though. Only had the contract a month, I was told I could move onto a more expensive plan within contract if I needed more allowance etc.. Phone up 3, not only do they not let you PAY MORE for a different plan, but they also don't let anyone shift onto the one plan ever, unless its a new contract.. So basically **** them... so even if I want to pay extra for tethering I can't... absolute nonsense...
I had the same issue with three. I downloaded masqued crusader from play store. Activated it and then started wireless/usb tether. It worked. That was a while back tho. On a payg sim card on a galaxy s on gb. Its worth a try though.
