Sprint Touch Pro2 Internet Sharing

[jackfrost7]

Ok, so the data on the phone works... but if I try to tether it and share the internet to my laptop, I get a code 67 saying my username and/or password is incorrect... the thing is that the data works all the time except when tethering...

any idea on how to fix this?

thanks.

 

[jackfrost7]

Apparently I can fix this error in EPST... however I cant get my MSL through any of the suggested methods... anyone know how to get the MSL from the touch pro2? its an MEID, but using a converted pESN doesn't work with GetSPC...

I am suddenly having the same issues also. I had this working just by installing the ICS and WModem Fix.CAB but then I did a hard reset and reinstalled the ICS and WModem Fix.CAB and now it doesn't work. Could this just be Sprint catching on?

 

[jdmtsx]

why would you reinstall it? was it not working?

 

[waverbach]

just download from thgis site the wifi software. it worked on my tp2 spri nt

1. Edit the following regestry entries. 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
Extension="" Delete the "isext.dll" entry
 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\settings]
ForceCellConnection="Sprint"
 
2. Start the Internet Sharing application.
3. Hit Connect In the Internet Sharing application.
4. Connect the TP/TP2 to the Laptop/PC via USB
5. Done. No other applications needs to run on the PC/Laptop

Basically, you need to tether with "Sprint", not "Phone As Modem." Just tested this and it worked quite well. If you still are unable to connect, be sure you disconnect and reconnect the phone.

You might want to try to start a data connection manually first from Connection Manager. Then try to tether.

I had the same problem yesterday so i deleted

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
Extension="" Delete the "isext.dll" entry

Now I don't get the code 67 thing when i start the modified ICS

Use the tp internet sharing fix.

I used the internet sharing fix from the touch pro 1 and it works well. U must make sure u allow dta connection from active sync on the pc...make sure it is turned on through comm mananger..should work like a charm

I have a TP2 now and tether with wmwifirouter. I have never had to do any editing/hacking of the reg or had any of the issues you describe but then I never tried to use ICS alone on TP2. My advice would be to download the free trial and see if that helps.

http://www.wmwifirouter.com/

I used to tether with my SPrint Mogul, first with just ICS in windows but had constant dropped connections. Then tried PDA net and had similar issues. I thought the newest PDAnet version might help so I purchased it but same issues. Still waiting for my refund.

Then I got wmwifirouter for my Mogul and it was like a beautiful dream. It worked 99.5% of the time. The difference in reliability between ICS and wmwifirouter or PDAnet + Activesync vs wifirouter cannot be overstated. Did I mention I really like wmwifirouter?

wmwifirouter doesn't depend on crappy Activesync on the PC side to function which may be part of the difference.

As for PDAnet, I used to save the error messages and email them to the company periodically. Eventually I ran out of hard drive space.

Simultaneous Voice and Data on CDMA?

1. Edit the following regestry entries. 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
Extension="" Delete the "isext.dll" entry
 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\settings]
ForceCellConnection="Sprint"
 
2. Start the Internet Sharing application.
3. Hit Connect In the Internet Sharing application.
4. Connect the TP/TP2 to the Laptop/PC via USB
5. Done. No other applications needs to run on the PC/Laptop

Basically, you need to tether with "Sprint", not "Phone As Modem." Just tested this and it worked quite well. If you still are unable to connect, be sure you disconnect and reconnect the phone.

I did the above Reg Hack and now I can't get data while on the phone. Of course I can't remember if I could EVER get voice and data on CDMA as I just switched from GSM where that is possible.

I'm on Sprint and as soon as I use my phone the connection goes from an Ev to a 1x and it only switches back to Ev when I hang up. Is this normal or a result of the hack?

Thanks.

On CDMA you can't use data while on the phone. It's how CDMA works. It uses the same antenna/radio. So, nothing is wrong with your phone.

 

[Poke_N_PDA]

so this thread is confusing me. Are the instructions all you need or do I need to install something for standard internet sharing. Also, is this going through activsync? I have a mac and would like to use this (at rare times) on it. Is my only option a wifi program? Is there a bluetooth method?

I have done the registry hack and got tethering working, but upon a reset, the hack gets undone and the registry goes back to phone as modem. I am having to constantly change that key entry back to Sprint. Is no one else having this problem?

Install DotFred's TaskManager
Click select Menu, Tab Options, Select Tab, Services. Find "CM Guardian", click and hold until menu pop up and select "Set Manual".
Reboot

[markyochoa]

Why don't you just install the WiFi Sharing app... it works like a charm and you don't need to pay for internet sharing.

SOLVED

Ok, I had the same problem on my Sprint TP2. Here's the issue:

There is a program running that watches for you to change the "ForceCellConnection" registry key. It changes it back to "Phone as Modem" because Sprint REALLY wants you to pay $30/month for a tethering plan (despite the fact that your phone is capable of doing it for free).

The program running in the background is called "CMGuardian", and you'll find it in the registry under HKLM/Services/CMGuardian and HKLM/Services/CMGuaridan. (Note one is misspelled... probably on purpose by Sprint to keep people from searching the registry for it).

I set the DWORD key "Flags" to 4 in both keys and soft reset. This disabled CMGuardian (and frees up a lot of RAM too).

Next, you can edit the ForceCellConnection key and change it to Sprint permanently. ICS should now work. If you still get Error 67, establish a data connection first (open opera, or just go to conn manager and turn on data), then click Connect in ICS.

So what all is CM Guardian doing? We don't really know if it's doing anything else or not. Are we sure we want to stop it if we don't know what all it does?

 

[tlordon]

CM Guardian is a program that keeps certain things within factory specs for whatever reason..
as long as you dont screw something else up in the reg CmG wont even be needed..(i think its to prevent us from reg mods)
if you disable it, edit the reg for tether, soft reset.
open web browser, open internet sharing, click connect, then connect usb to pc to phone and it will work..
