Default USB tether not working

HTC application installed on Windows 7 Dell laptop.

EVO is NOT rooted.

Hooked up cable, clicked internet sharing, and got...

"Error code 67. Registration failure. Your PCS Vision username and/or password may be incorrect. Please try again."

You are not paying for the tether that is what that means. They do not offer free tether. You will have to download something from the market place and internet.

pdaNet or easytether to USB tether your phone.

wireless tethering is free now.. as is wired tether.

check out the development forum for how to setup wireless tethering, and to get wired tethering working -- search the market for PDAnet.

good luck

You can use an older version of PDAnet (v1.12 I think) and still do everything.


PM me for more details.

Older versions don't do BT tethering, that starts at 1.16. Just go download wireless tether for root users, it does both wireless tethering and BT tethering and it now works on a rooted evo.

BT tethering just means you drain your battery faster. Your Evo came with a USB cable so IMO thats what you should use.
