Hey all,
So I've got a small issue. I've got a Verizon XV6800 with the MR1 Rom WM6.1, Valhalla GPS server, 3.42.50 Radio.
Internet connection sharing is not working at this point. I've gone through the winmodem and internet connection sharing cab installs, registry edits, etc. None seem to help.
I previously had a ATT tilt 8925 and had no issues whatsoever tethering it to my mac by just pairing the phone, selecting to "Using a direct Higher speed connection to reach your ISP". Starting Internet Sharing on the phone, selecting Bluetooth PAN & the default data connection, then selecting connect. Then selecting "Connect to network" On the mac through the my phone listed in the bluetooth connections. That simple.
Having installed the "Internet Sharing" cab onto the phone. Internet sharing appears to work, but the phone does not advertise this service, like the ATT tilt did on ATT's network.
I've also tried a few registry edits, and used all variations of modem scripts, and got all the dialup info from verizon directly (so I know it was right ) but could not get dialup to work either. Usually not detecting a carrier, other times lockups.
I truely want to get the bluetooth-PAN working again as it did on my tilt. Anyone have this working on the MAc with a XV6800 on verizon?
i did have it working before. I'm wondering if you might be more successful with a custom rom. Verizon installs software (at least previous roms, I haven't tested the MR1 rom) that reverts reg edits and keeps it working like VzW wants it to. This could be causing problems. First check after a soft-reset to make sure your reg edits still exist.
Also I'm sure you've tried this be in Leopard's bluetooth setup delete the phone and try again. You need to select the type of device as any device in order for leopard to see it. Can you connect the device to your mac? Try that first. If you get a BT connection non-internet connection and you change your settings delete the phone and try again. I forget some of the setting I used. Also Engadget had a how to article for BT pan using the xv6700 and Tiger most of the information is still useful. It's a couple years old so you might have a hard time finding it.
Hope some of that helps.

As mentioned, I have tried a ton of different methods to try and use the data connection, from using dialup settings, to trying to get the Bluetooth Pan working. I've removed and re-paired the device from my mac, flashed roms, hacked away at the registry a ton of times. Nothing seems to give so far.
I've got one more suggestion, found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1794133&postcount=29
I'm going to give this a shot tomorrow and will let you know how it goes.

I was wondering if you be gracious enough to share the Internet sharing CAB i only need to get it to work thought the USB cable and on a windows box, and from what im getting you got that far... JUST not working on a mac...
if thats the case, i would be ever so greatful..
Thanks

You can use the link from the previous post here, and just copy the dll's and exe to the Windows directory, and place teh shortcut into the Device\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ directory.

hey, ok great, i just downloaded the file, Just one question..
The file i downloaded has about a page of Reg Key changes, you didnt mention that in your "thngs to do"
Just want to see if i am to make all those changes or not.
thanks
So, your problem is in getting the internet connection to work and not connecting it to the mac, right? Does your mac recognize the phone as a modem?
If you're using MR1 I think you might need to hard reset and the soft reset right before the Verizon customizations run. You won't be able to run their apps but there won't be software to cripple the phone.
i have the same exact issue i have a new macbook pro and the bluetooth connects however the speed is slower then dial up it works perfectly however on bootcamp apple has to change the drivers
So more results.
I tried all the registry edits, (much easier with CD-Regedit so you can make the changes on your desktop) and now internet sharing does not even allow me to select a connection type, it had worked previously.
The only thing that was missing before I made the registry changes was that when I pair the phone, in the services listed, "Network Access Point" is not one of the listed services. My old phone has this service listed, and this is how I used it, where I started internet sharing on the phone, then selected the bluetooth device (phone) on the mac and selected: "Connect to Network) and it worked flawless.
Back to the drawing board. I'm going to try next to re-flash the MR1 rom and do as Cycomachead suggested and stop verizons customizations from happening.
bryanw17, what were the exact settings you used for dialup on the mac. The modem script used is probably the most important piece.
Number: #777
Username: Phonenumber (or [email protected]????)
Password: (We know this one, not sure if it's legal to post though)
Darn, I wish I could provide more help. It is indeed possible in Leopard, I had it going before I began flashing my phone - and I no longer have a data plan to test, otherwise I'd be using it a lot more!
aparently no one with a new macbook pro can get bluetooth pan to work. I have it connected however the drivers for the new macbook pro do not provide a good connection if you search the mac forums theyve been talking about it on there. I dont use a username n password however because i use the internet sharing app for the moment i am using wmwifirouter to connect online however my xv6800 doesnt charge at the same time for some reason so u can only use it till the battery dies
So some more results.
I installed ICS and all the registry edits. Then the internet Connection Sharing did not function at all. I verified the registry settings, all were fine. So no dice with me.
So back to the drawing board.
I installed a previous rom. DCD 3.2.6, and guess what? From initial flash of the phone and initial setup, no apps installed, no hacking, ICS runs and provides a network connection to my mac perfect. I also instantly notice when I pair it through bluetooth, it allows the option of "Access this device as a network port". And "Network Access point" is listed as an offered service.
I installed newer rom DCD 3.3.4, and the MR1 Rom. Neither have ICS installed initially. I can install the two files: intshare.dll and IntShrUI.exe into the windows directory without any reg edits, and then ICS works on the phone, but then pairing the phone to the Mac, and attempting to discover teh PAN service is unsuccessful. It only is discovered as a Dialup Access device, and not a "Network Access Point".
So, It appears I can get internet Sharing via Bluetooth PAN to function on the phone no matter which rom, but have not figure out how to tell the mac, or trick the mac, into thinking the "Network Access Point" service is available.
I have pulled completed registry dumps with CE-Regedit and compared the differences between the two, which there are quite a few, but not sure how to export these differences with the program so I can apply them to the other roms registry. I guess I might try a fukll backup and then restore to the new(er) rom and cross my fingers.
I'd stay with the 3.2.6 rom. and 3.42.50 Radio, with PRI 2.03, but I can only seem to make the GPS function successfully with the MR1 stock verizon rom.
Anybody want to take the two regs files compare, and see if they can find out where we can make the change to have the phone advertise the service "Network Access Point" when being paired to the mac or PC?
On one last note. I also tried the method of restoring the MR1 official rom, and then not allowing the customizations. ICS will function, but again, not advertising the service: "Network Access Point" when pairing, so it's not recognized as a valid networking method.
Where did you get those files (intshare.dll and IntShrUI.exe) to allow ICS via bluetooth?
Nevermind, I found it on PPCGeeks.
Don't know why DCD disabled the BT DUN on ICS.
I use Missing sync, and I turned on PAN then added my phone and it shoed it as a modem when I added it, but my BT connection is fairly Unrealible compared to the USB teather on Bootcamp
i was under the impression that bt pan has been whacked on macbook pro models starting from early 2008 on. anything earlier than that and it seems to work great. does anyone know why bt pan doesnt work on the newer machines and how to get it to work?
Just got a brand new "G2 Touch" from T-mobile, and found under:
Settings -> Wirless -> "Mobile Netzwerkfreigabe(aka Tethering?)"
If i check the box it deactivates the usb mass storage and a new device appears. Windows hasn't got drivers for this device. Someone any ideas, how to use this feature?
this post did it for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4246332&postcount=20
there's also a thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=535404
the error on the phone is not entirely clear - it says drivers are on the SD card. According to HTC support, they are embedded in the HTCSync app, which I thought was just for Outlook syncing. Put it back into USB card mode, run the htcsync setup from the SD card, and try again
it worked for me in vista (i'd already installed the htcsync app on that machine so I don't know if the drivers were already part of vista or if the app installed them)
On my UK T-mobile HTC Hero I can confirm that the 'Tethering' option is there in Wireless>Settings, buried at the bottom as 'Mobile Network sharing'
It appears to work when you have the HTC Sync software installed on Windows, as described...
Now here's the £1million question.. anyone have any idea how to get a Tether enabled Hero to talk to Linux?
the windows drivers from htcsync are in the SDK
perhaps there are some linux ones in there also?
Just tested with gentoo, works with the normal rndis driver compiled in!
Thats perfect !
So I think it should work "out of the box" with the most Linux Distributions.
Just plugv in, and do an dhcp request on usb0 or usb1
yeah... <blush> I just tried this on my openSUSE 11.1 laptop and it worked strait away as USB0, no drivers, no installation, no problem....
I really should have tried it before posting!
And yet another bit of hardware that works more easily with Linux than Windows! ;-)
Interestingly, the Tethering isn't limited to the 'Mobile Networking' (aka 3G/HSDPA) connection.
If you have Wifi configured on your Hero, that is the connection the Tether will use, pretty nice if you want to Wifi-enable any device and save on your data limits.
yeah... when I was testing I got rather confused briefly as to why my computer still had its usual internet IP even though I'd disabled its network card (because it was connecting to the router via the phone's wireless)
slightly puzzingly, disabling mobile data disables the tethering option (even if it's going to end up using the wireless anyway). i'm sure there'll be someone with that specific use-case. But it's not me, so I'm happy
ok so my evo is Boosted and ive been trying to get faster speeds so i said F%*(%& it and i had a clear account for my Gaming needs and now i got Comcast so i said let try and get my phone on this account and finally last night they took it as an ( INTEL HANDHELD DEVICE ) and it is stupid fast im happy but when i try to use the 4G hotspot its NO GO BRO! it gives an error saying

What on earth?
On your Sprint Evo 3D, you're trying to use
- Clear WiMax 4G (not Sprint's)
- on the Boost Mobile network
- with a Comcast modem
- to play video games
This makes absolutely no sense -- slow down, son! What exactly are you trying to do here?
If you mean you just want to get your 4G hotspot working (regardless of provider), you obviously shouldn't use the built in Sprint hotspot (even the hacked one). You're going to have to screw around with Wifi Tether for Root (google it) or Barnacle, potentially in ad-hoc mode. Some tools (including the official hotspot tool) and some tethering modes pretty much tell the WiMax tower to assign a new IP to the broadcast, effectively giving your computer or laptop a distinct IP from the phone. This is why they don't work, and it's also how the company finds out. Clear probably sees this secondary IP request produced by the tethering app, notes that it isn't the IP configuration you set up with them (or paid for), and blocks your service.
Your solution? Get the phone working again, then use a different form of tethering or a different mode. Ad-hoc mode (Barnacle) and wired tether (PDANet) are practically guaranteed to work, unless Clear has a way of sniffing packets for routing protocols.

So what im running is HTC evo 3d on Boost Mobile and i added a Clear account its fast but when i tether it wont let me gives the error ? ive read your suggestions/instructions and im a bit lost so any more help you can provide is cool! PLEASE ADVISE! thanks
just use barnicle tether or wifi tether
they work fine with phones running on clear.
I know thats not a seamless integration but you can try custom roms as well....
I usually just use wifi tether it seems to be better for "boosted" phones
esp the ones i get on clear

well thanks for the help but i am running custom thats all ill run! im on Steal25 now and ive used the android tether before and it just seems not to like me ive always had better success with the hacked sprint hotspot! but i am desperate as if i cant get it fixed then its no purpose to have the clear account as i got comcast at home but when on the go i'm N THE NEED FOR SPEED! also as far as Barnacles it's always worked great but i guess i forgot about it Either Way i am glad for the responses and input to this problem
PS
can you tell me what you connected your phone to clear as ??? mine is labeled a intel handheld device ? and when i hit the page it says something about INTEL??? please advise
The Sprint WiFi tether does not work with 4G (clear). You'll need to use WiFi tether or the others. Wi-Fi tether works great and it's free. Check the boxes that say MSS clamping and routing fix (something like that).

I dont like Moonpies but your A Real HUKELBERRY much love to you man it F^(&(*&ing WORKED!!!!!!!! i was just about to call CLEAR and just MOVE my USB stick back on the account and i read your response i tried it and BADA BING BADA BANG it WORKED thanks alot to you and everyone who responded!
BUT KNOW HERE'S the new HEADACHE how do i SPEED IT UP as on the phone im getting anywhere from high 3's to 10meg but tethering the fastest so far has been 680 kb's faster then my 3g tether but REALLY NOW WHAT I WANT OR EXPECTED so is there a way to speed it up cause the clear is really fast but if im still near 3g speeds when i tether i will have to go back to my usb device PLEASE ADVISE!
Whenever I tether my laptop via the USB cable it takes a long time for the laptop to connect and when it does, it says "Connected to Network X", where X is a number. Everytime I reconnect via USB X increases by 1 so the last time I did it I was on Network 43!!!!! I accept that this could be in part a windows thing and not a GS3 thing BUT when I connect via a Wifi Hotspot it connects really really quickly and always says I am connected to AndroidAP. Its as if the USB tethering firmware is
Therefore connecting via hotspot seems much more stable and smooth however I was under the impression that the laptop internet speed will be quicker using USB tether rather than wifi and as I primarilly use my SGS3 as my home broadband connection I want to try and configure it to get the fastest speed on my laptop as possible. If I do an internet speed check on my SGS3 while my laptop is tethered the phone connection is always faster than the doing the same on the laptop. I guess this should be perhaps expected but as much as 4Mbits/s. I.e My phone was getting speeds of 6Mbits/sec but without having any apps open on the phone, my laptop would only get 2Mbits/s????
Any advice?

It does not related to Device problem.
It related to Windows,your computer create a new network when each time you connect to internet.
This may due to Firewall,Antivirus etc..
Are there any apps out there which are better than the stock USB tethering method. I do get slightly faster speeds on the laptop when USB tethered but the Windows network methodolgy seems unsatble compared with the wifi hotspot method
I was suffering the same and finally found a solution for this (at least on my S2).
It requires root, plus a kernel that supports init.d scripts (or running a script yourself every time you start the phone and will want to tether before restarting).
Just run this script:
Code:
chmod u+w /sys/module/g_android/parameters/dev_addr
echo 5a:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx > /sys/module/g_android/parameters/dev_addr
chmod u-w /sys/module/g_android/parameters/dev_addr
Just replace xx's with whatever hex values (0-9 or a-f) you want. Example: 5a:10:20:30:40:50
Windows detects the network you're connecting to by identifying the MAC address of the gateway. It can then know whether you're connecting to your home router (safe), an internet cafe (public), etc.
Whenever it finds a gateway whose MAC address is not recorded yet, it will state it's an unknown network, ask you what type is it (home / public), and assign a new number to it.
The thing is that android (or at least mine) is generating a completely random MAC address for itself whenever tethering is turned on, and naturally that will be different every time.
If you run those commands above, you're overriding that randomness and the device will start having always that MAC address and Windows will remember you're connecting to the same gateway.
PS: This is obviously dependent on whether the kernel you're using includes that /sys/module/g_android/parameters/dev_addr file. I'm inclined to think it's standard, but I'm not sure.
I'm having the same "problem".
Is there any other (nicer) way to permanently disable that random MAC generation? Other than using the method Tungstwenty explained above. Does anyone know why is that android "feature" even implemented, it doesn't make much sense to me.
Has anyone else figured out any solutions to this besides running a script everytime you boot? Seems kinda crazy to have to go to that extent for something that should be standard...
^ Exactly. Any updates yet?

I can confirm that the same issue happened on my new Xperia Z, and the solution I posted above has also solved it.
The new device was even recognized by Windows as the already identified router, since I reused the same value from the previous device.
So I agree it's a cross-device issue with apparently the same solution, at least in a few of them.

From the path ("...tether...") it's likely that it might be the right one for your device.
Simply try running the commands manually from an ADB shell and seeing if it works for you. If it does, put it on an init script. If not, it should be gone after a reboot.
A possible solution
For Windows to recognize your mobile device as the same first one needs to create a bridge in Windows 7.
Open Network Connections by clicking the Start button, and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type adapter, and then, under Network and Sharing Center, click View Network Connections.
Hold down the Ctrl key and Select internet connection from your android phone with your alternate connection you usually use. If you use only your android phone for internet, just select the mobile device.
Hold down ALT to reveal Advanced Menu and click Bridge Connections. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
You should now have a new network type named "Network Bridge" created.
Leave this internet bridge on your system.
Now whenever you connect your android phone, it will show up as the same network connection always. This will stay so even after you restart your system.

Hey MaxMumbai.....
what about windows 8.1.....? The right click on the network adapter in question in win 8.1 reveals 'Bridge connections' in the menu.
Can you make this much clearer please "Hold down the Ctrl key and Select internet connection from your android phone with your alternate connection you usually use. If you use only your android phone for internet, just select the mobile device."
You need at least 2 LAN connections to make a bridge so how can I only select my mobile device connection....? This is what I have in my adapters panel :
Bluetooth Network Connection .... Not ConnectedX
Ethernet.... Network cable unpluggedX
Local Area Connection..... Remote NDIS based internet sharing device (this is my tether)
WiFi... Not Connected X
Can you please explain where I make the bridge....?
Cheers

Therefore connecting via hotspot seems much more stable and smooth however I was under the impression that the laptop internet speed will be quicker using USB tether rather than wifi and as I primarilly use my SGS3 as my home broadband connection I want to try and configure it to get the fastest speed on my laptop as possible. If I do an internet speed check on my SGS3 while my laptop is tethered the phone connection is always faster than the doing the same on the laptop. I guess this should be perhaps expected but as much as 4Mbits/s. I.e My phone was getting speeds of 6Mbits/sec but without having any apps open on the phone, my laptop would only get 2Mbits/s????
Any advice?

You can try this if you don't mind the network icon not showing that you're connected.
Open Registry Editor ( Windows key + R to bring up the Run dialog, then type regedit and press Enter ).
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}.
There are numbered subkeys starting with 0001. Look in each subkey in descending order for the one with the DriverDesc value having your smartphone's RNDIS driver name (same name shown in your Network Connections view as the "Connect using" value).
Once located, create a new DWORD (32-bit) Value.
Enter the name as *NdisDeviceType (remember to include the asterisk sign * in front).
Edit the newly created DWORD value and enter the value data as 1 (Base choice doesn't matter). Click OK.
Once done, disable and re-enable usb tethering
You will no longer get a prompt asking for network location whenever you connect your smartphone, but you will still get the prompt when connecting to other devices.
Important Note: When you are only connected to your smartphone, your computer's network icon will continue to show that you are not connected to any network. However, the internet will still work fine.
I just found an easier way to avoid windows (10) to generate a new network number and reset the settings:
Tether your phone using USB, then:
Open device manager and find "Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device"
Then go to properties, advanced, select network address and assign a value.
That's it.

This seems to work, as long as you don't restart your PC. After every restart it still counts 1 Number up.
Still a neat trick as long as the PC keeps running, thanks for posting it :good:
I am still searching for a better one....
Not a Pro here, if this post needs to be in different subforum, admins please help and move so this finds ppl that need it... I found this to fix my EXTREMELY Frustrating "will not connect" PROBLEM that seems to be VERY COMMON. Sometimes it would connect at random, some times not at all, sometimes would connect one time after install then never again. THIS WORKS ON MY Win10 but may work on other Windows versions...... *Here is my windows 10 FIX:...... *Go to "All Settings" page,...... *Go to "Network & Internet",...... *Go to "Network & Sharing Center",...... *Go to "Change Adapter Settings". Now on this page it shows all your network adapters, Wireless adapter card, Ethernet/Lan card, and one called "TAP-Win32 AdapterV9". (THIS IS THE ONE that needs to be enabled for ClockworkMod to communicate with your phone, I believe it is a VPN Virtual Private Network adapter (Software, not Hardware?) that kinda simulates Ethernet through USB/WIRELESS type connection? The actual adapters on mine were labeled "Ethernet , Ethernet2 and" Wi-Fi". Ethernet 2 was named "Network 3" but I think the names have no bearing on this fix, WHAT each adapter actually is what's important...... *FIRST, DISABLE the "Ethernet Connection",...... *Then ENABLE the "TAP-Win32 AdapterV9",...... I've kept the "Wireless Adapter" ENABLED with no interference probs so far...... Your ClockworkMod should connect and turn green now! This has worked on several "won't connect" Windows 10 laptops of mine!!! May work for you, may not, but dang sure worked for all my probs I'm also trying to install ClockworkMod Tether on an XP laptop, it seems TAP-Win32 AdapterV9 is not in the Network Connections screen and I will have to manually download TAP-Win32 through a different Teathered Win10 laptop and manually install it as it may not be bundled with the old XP OS (still working on this, no results to report yet) ... I believe the TAP-Win32V9 is a Virtual Network Adapter app that allows ClockworkMod Tether to network with our phones! If I'm wrong or right let me know! I am a Rank Amateur after all ? the next challenge is to network all laptops and devices together to where all can access internet data through one laptop that's Teathered to this one cellphone...
Confirmed, I have done this same thing on my Windows XP laptop and have fixed the "will not connect". Had probs disabling the ether net adapter, said In use by other apps or users, cannot disable at this time (to paraphrase) ... Googled for methods to fix that from command line, that worked. Now Clockwork Mod Tether work reliably on all my Windows PC's!
Waited? here has been getting the same error while connecting but yet no any site did resolve out this issue, what would be the reason behind it? expected amazeinvent did but which command line or any other option make it resolve? or can do something? do you guys have any idea about it?
