Error Code 67 help

I did a search but couldn't really find the same problem.
I'm a new Mogul user and just upgraded from the 6700 (kitchen).
I'm on a SERO plan.
Well I upgraded to Nexvision's ROM and Radio 3.27. I verified that the GPS works and I can place and receive calls. I can also use Internet Explorer and Google Maps.
However, whenever I try to initiate Internet Sharing (I prefer BT but would settle for USB) I get a "Error Code 67" and some message about user name and password do not match. (I even tried PDAnet with the same result)
After that - Data for all applications (PIE, google maps, etc) is messed up and I continually get the error. I have to do a Soft reset to get rid of it but every time I try Internet sharing, it happens again.
Any clues? If I can't make it work, I'll probably have to go back to my trusty 6700. I really like the Titan but Internet sharing is a must have.

You wont be able to get it to work...(correct me if I'm wrong) error 67 is the phone not recognizing the log in email and password you set on your sprint.com account. Since you can browse with your internet explorer (you can, right?), the phone shows that it has no problems logging in.
You can, however, use PdaNet and share the broadband connection.
try using wmwifirouter for internet sharing, you will not get the eror code as a result of tethering your device with a usb cable.
to get rid of eror code 67, read this post

specifically the comment about disconnecting immediately upon connecting. worked for me.

I tried PDAnet and I get the same dreaded Error Code 67
So basically I get data on my phone, but I can't share it (tether)
That's strange...PdaNet works for me but internet sharing from the phone doesn't. Maybe you should try the solution posted above ^
Went back to Original ROM and verified Internet sharing works via the USB (didn't try BT but assumes that it would work too).
Not quite sure why I would always get the Error Code 67 with the upgraded ROM. I've read that a few others have had similar problems too but I don't think anyone has a definitive answer yet.
I really liked the GPS feature but for now the Internet Sharing trumps it in importance.

Google maps no longer loads

Hi all,
been using the google maps app that comes with the HD2 a lot, but suddenly it won't load using mobile internet anymore.
It works fine over wifi, but it seems it doesn't want to use my dataplan anymore.
It doesn't matter whether i have 2g, 3g or hdspa connection, it just hangs on 'loading' or 'searching'.
I checked the connection with opera and it works fine, can load any webpage pretty fast.
What can i do to fix it? is there a way to reinstall it? I don't have a cab because it came installed on my HD2.
edit: after a soft reset it won't even load over wifi anymore!
Edit2: hmm, after another soft reset it will load over wifi again but still nothing over mobile connection
get the newest version from here mate, just install and it will delete you're previous version

Same problem here in Rotterdam. Was wondering what could be the problem, but since other people seem to have the same problem, it more than likely is the connection to T-Mobile's network again.....
As is the case with you, WiFi connection allows to start up Google Maps properly, however as soon as mobile network is used, Maps no longer works because of lack of connection to the network....

new version has the same problem
i read online that it may have to do with proxy settings but have not been able to resolve the issue
also, the guy at the t-mobile store was less than usefull (big supprise there)
I just spoke with the t-mobile helpdesk and they are already aware of the problem.
They told me it is a problem with the google server's connectivity and that some ppl can't even synchronise their gmail or other google services (haven't had that problem myself)
They're looking in to it so hopefully it won't take too long
Someone at T-Mobile has earned his/her salary this month: it's working again....

[Q] How to make browser work with WiFi - EDIT Solved, GPS had to be fixed.

I just bought a Telus Fascinate 4G and I cannot get any pages to load in the browser when connected on WiFi, I just get an Apache Forbidden error for almost any site (except Google works sometimes), any web site will work when on 4G. I noticed that as soon as I open the browser the 4G icon comes on at the same time as WiFi, is there any way to fix this?
I am running the stock ROM, rooted, but this happened before the root, I even did a wipe.
I also tried 2 different wireless routers and the Dolphin HD browser, same problem. The same routers work with an iPhone 4 and HTC Desire.
Please help!
Thanks.
UPDATE:
I have found the cause of the problem, its the GPS, if I uncheck "Enable Location" in the browser options it works with WiFi, but if I open a GPS enabled app like Maps the problem returns, disabling GPS Satellites in settings fixes this. So I guess the problem lies in the GPS, is there a GPS fix or am I stuck?
UPDATE 2:
The problem was fixed with the installation and running of a free app called GPS Status, works flawlessly so far.

[Q] Disabling A-GPS

Hi folks! I have a question. My friend has htc hero with latest official rom (dunno what it is). He is a traveler and wants gps to work without using data connection, bcs it's extremely expensive on his operator. He said, that in android 1.6 there was pure gps and it needn't to use data connection to receive location. If he uses any app like gps status or nav app without data connection, gps doesn't receive location. I have samsung device and there is an app, called AngryGPS, there i can change everything about gps settings, including SUPL server and how gps will work (MSBASED or STANDALONE). How can i change settings on his hero? Maybe by porting this app on hero? Rooting is not a problem, i can make it, if it's necessary.
added: if i turn off receiving location from wireless networks in android settings, it not helps
P.S.: Sorry for my poor english

Use iGo for android...it's easy to use and only gps is req...no data connection, i used it a time ago and was very pleased with it...the menu is a little laggy put don't worry because it works well on the phone, without having any problems.
Keep me updated if you got the problem solved
Stefan
he said, that he uses Maverick and don't want to change it, he wants to change system settings to use gps in standalone mode

there are data & gps apps...so if you don't use a data connection you can't download content...that's why i recommend iGO for android
Stefan
he needs not to download content, he needs to connect to GPS without enabling data connection. Anyway, problem solved by installing patched version of angrygps and editing operation mode of gps module

that why i recommended iGO, it uses the maps preloaded on the sd card...
you completely ignore my messages? or my english is SO bad?
HIS GPS WON'T CONNECT WITHOUT DATA CONNECTION IS UP! Not the freaking nav application! Maverick uses preloaded maps too, GPS Status&Toolbox doesn't use maps at all, Turbo GPS doesn't use maps, every program that uses GPS to receive location or establishing connection with sattelites DOESN'T receive location or establish connection without data connection!
Now the problem is clear?
As i told, problem is solved
And iGO is total ****

[Q] cognition 1.51 gps problem

Hi, my gps does not seem to work on cognition 1.51 rom. when i try to find my location in google maps i just get the message 'your current location is temporary unavailable'
It has been working on previous versions of the rom and my data and wifi connections are working fully i believe. Has anyone else had the same issue who can help me resolve this problem.
Thanks in advance
Nope works for me .
Suggest backup data factory reset rom.
Or reflash Cognition in case of a bad flash .
jje
Ok first:
settings>>Location and security>>
Use wirelles networks (mark)
Use GPS satellites (mark)
I tried re-flashing that didnt help.
"Use wirelles networks (mark) Use GPS satellites (mark)" This enables me to pinpoint my location. But is this not just using the the mobile and wifi networks rather than the gps. If only gps is selected the it cant find my location again.
You can try the old trick turn GPS on .
Leave with a clear view of the sky for half an hour .
GPS tool from market may also help.

Managed to get it working, I used gpstest as recommended. I just left the gps running and after about 10mins the phone decided it wanted to connect to the satelites, Now it connects to them pretty much straight away.
Thank all for your help
