Tethering: Sprint Not A Choice In Network Connection In ISC

[brandontowey]

I've looked all over here, PPCGeeks and Google for a fix for this but couldn't find a thing. When I go into ISC, Sprint isn't an option in the Network Connections menu. All I see is CDMA1X. Isn't that the slower network you default to when 3g or whatever isn't available? I've installed the tethering cab and the ICS cab to no avail. I'd really appreciate any help with this. Thanks.

I had to use a registry editor. Go to HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings and change the ForceCellConnection to Sprint.

There's also an entry to delete under HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing\????.dll
I forgot what the dll entry value is, but you need to delete it. Powercycle the phone and you should be good to go! Bluetooth PAN as well as USB works for me.

1) The registry fix will allow to select (if deleted) which connection to use, or to use Sprint exclusively (if changed to "Sprint").
2) Start data connection manually before using ISC - one easy way is from Comm Manager.

I don't know if deleting the .dll key does anything. Maybe it helps with 2). But when I do 1) and 2), my ISC works.
If I don't do 2), it tries to dial the Sprint PCS connection and fails.

I didn't have to install any cabs.

I'm cooking a ROM and after I get it installed, I'll see if the hacks available fix the problem. I'll report back. Thanks for the replies.
