att fuze tethering - Touch Pro, Fuze General

Before i upgraded to the new at&t rom i was able to perform the registry hack to allow me to tether my phone to my laptop. i use phm reg edit on my phone, change the registry key from AT&T ISP GPRS to MEdia Net and it worked perfectly fine before.
Now, when i change the key, it saves it, i do a soft reset, check the key again to make sure it saved, it is.
Then when i go to internet sharing it doesnt work, the "remote party has ended this connection" and when i go back to look at the registry key again, it has automatically changed itself back to AT&T ISP GPRS.
Im sure there is a way around this, has anyone else run into this problem after upgrading to the new ROM?
tia

...... try a rom that will actually use the full power of your phone instead of using a crappy oem rom..... i suggest energyrom or tael, they are beautiful roms that have everything you need
oh, and you can tether without any reg edits required. I know the

ya i probably should, but i really dont like messing with cooked roms. Im affraid of bricking my phone and i dont like the idea of having a rom that may or may not work perfectly. I work 80+ hrs a week and rely of the phone, i really dont want to mess with it.
anyone have an answer for me about the tethering?

I'm not sure I fully understand your problem. I have an AT&T Fuze upgraded to their latest OEM ROM and use \Windows\IntShrUI.exe without issue to tether over USB and Bluetooth PAN. You can place a link in the Start\Programs directory. When you open the app, change the network connection to Media Net. You only need to do this once as it will remember the setting.

at&t Internet Settings - WAP Media Net and MMS

The reason I am posting this in ROM development is due to the high number of posts I see in various ROMs asking about at&t internet and MMS settings.
When I upgraded to WM 6.1 I had to find out the hard way that the HTC autoconfig program that starts after a hard reset works, but causes various issues. When I tried to fix the issues, I caused different problems and could never get my email to send and receive until after it had done so on an automatic schedule, which is weird. Along with other anomalies.
I apologize for the redundant thread, but it might cut down on even more threads if more people on at&t were told not to use autoconfig and instead used this simple cab file:
at&t and MMS
-thanks to whoever developed this, works perfectly
Note: this cab may not fix problems that already occur, even if the settings are deleted before installing. If you ran the autoconfig instead of disabling it, then it might be time to have fun with a new ROM and/or setup
It's hard to keep all of this info organized and XDA does a great job. I hope that if this info is mass distributed, as it already is in the beginning posts of some ROMs, that it might save time for more important things.
I have never had any issues with HTC's Autoconfig not working perfectly for me on AT&T's network. The only network feature I don't use on my Tilt is Blackberry Connect.
could this be why my phone gets no service on 3G mode? i have tried everything but nothing is working. But the weird thing is that on edge it works perfectly fine. does anybody have a solution for this.
It really doesn't take long (a few minutes at most) to manually do the settings .. And this way you know and learn what your device is really set up for instead of relying on others.

pro, I don't think the internet settings are why you are dropping calls.
It is a setting in kaiser tweak. I could be wrong, but I think it is caused by a fast sleep option. I know I read it somewhere, but ages ago.
i dont have kaiser tweaks installed.. do you know what thread you read that in?
no, I am sorry but I have no time to help tonight. I would recommend a hard reset that will delete everything on your main device and restore it to factory default. Activesync should save your contacts. This will let you know if you have a possible hardware issue.
Read the wiki for directions, and then read some more. I'm always learning more about this phone.
-or-
IF you have hardspl and know how to flash a rom, you could try a different setup (ROM). If it doesn't work, then you need to revert your phone back to normal and send it in for warranty.
do this at your own risk, good luck
*before doing this, try the kaiser tweak setting, simple search and easy to use program
when it comes to att, ive noticed:
as long as you are using wap.cingular as your APN and [email protected] password1, it works.
When I flashed my rom, it auto detected (laurenitis26's v2) it put in isp.cingular as the apn, which as memory serves me right is the tethering portal, so if you don't have tethering set up, you will have issues. if you do have tethering, WAP.cingular is unlimited internet, isp.cingular is 5gb per month.
First post! yay ive actually contributed. don't know how helpful it is.

Actually you can now leave the username and password fields blank. ATT changed their settings and its no longer needed (but it still works with it if you choose). Its even documented in the KnowledgeBase article I posted above.

to be more specific the isp.cingular connection is the PDA connection is the straight connection not behind a proxy. WM is smart and some things it needs a connection without a proxy but Att offers media next cheaper than the PDA connect so most users (myself included) have to use wap.cingular otherwise the phone won't connect .
This isn't really a problem so much as really irritating, I'd like for ATT to come down on the price for the PDA connect....

Enable Bluetooth DUN on Sprint Touch Pro2!

This took me a while, but I finally figured it out through trial and error. I know there are a few options out there for tethering, but this has always been the preferred way to tether when I was using the Diamond. It's wireless, you can initiate the connection from the PC, and it gives you better battery life than WMWiFiRouter or HTC Wifi Sharing. Best of all, you DO NOT need to initiate a DATA connection on the phone before connecting to your PC! Just fire up the BT DUN connection on your PC, click Dial, then browse the web!
Here's how we do this:
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".
Make the following changes on your TP2 with a Registry editor:
1. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
Extension="" Delete the "isext.dll"
2. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\settings]
ForceCellConnection="Sprint"
3. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\Wmodem]
Check Profile=0
Connected=0
Multi-NAI=0
WModemDUN=0
4. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WIDCOMM\Plugin\DUNServ er\ControlPanel]
Enabled=1
That's it! Re-pair your TP2 to your PC and BT DUN should be available as one of the services. Create a new DUN profile on your PC, leave username and password blank, and set dial number as #777. Click dial and you should be able to connect... just like old times.
Thank you so much for posting this. I have been ripping my hair out over this. However, I am on Verizon and thus my HTC Touch Pro2 has somewhat different entries in the registry than Sprint does. Does anyone know how to get DUN working with the HTC Touch Pro2 on Verizon? I bought a laptop specifically with Bluetooth just to use my phone as the modem but cannot get it working for my life.
After I did all the registry edits I could that you mentioned (even though all of them were not available since I'm on a different provider) I noticed when I try to dial out for a SPLIT second I will see "Dial Up Networking" listed under Bluetooth services. Windows promptly gives me a dialing error and that service on my phone disappears.
Anyone can give any pointers?
I don't have a Service called "CM Guardian". I have a custom ROM, would that make a difference?

Yes, some Rom chefs may have eliminated this service. I know MightyMike left it in his Rom, but I have not tested others on the TP2.
KD8FRE
Would this service be in WM6.5? If I download MightyMike's ROM would it be in there or is it only in WM6.1?
Thanks for this.

MightyMike's Rom does indeed have CMGaurdian. I cannot speak for other TP2 Roms, but his does.
KD8FRE
Can anyone give any pointers on getting this to work on the Verizon version of the phone? Been searching high and low!
There is no "CMGaurdian" on my phone. I did a full search for it and it's nowhere to be found. I have the stock Windows Mobile 6.5 rom. But it looks like without being able to set that as manual, I have to change the registry everytime I end up having to restart my phone. But even when I do that, it still goes back to phone as modem after a few minutes instead of staying on Sprint.
Awesome!
Thanks for the info. The connection sharing wasn't working for me anyway.
Just an FYI, you can optionally edit the registery to set the CMGuardian to Manual.
Open a reg editor and navigate to [HKLM\Services\CMGuardian]
Locate the Index key and change the value from 2 (default) to 1.
So anyone on Sprint TP2 with 6.5 stock rom actually got Wmodem to work? I've spent about 24 hr trying just about everything with no luck so far.
I made all the above reg changes, have WModem v02 installed on my TP2. Activate the wmodem prog, connect to computer with usb cable. When i try to connect on my computer, it stucked on verifying user name and pass. There is some sort of data connection going on on the phone itself, but the computer connected to the phone couldn't seem to go pass that "verifying user name and pass"
Much appreciated any help or comment. Thanks
Just wanted to add that I found this thread useful, got the registry entries and made a cab for it. This is for Sprint only! Download, install, and go, no need for registry editing!
Problem tethering via Bluetooth DUN to pspgo
Ok, I am pulling MY hair out on my ATT tilt 2. I am trying to use my fone as a bluetooth modem for my pspgo.
It seems that my Tilt 2 receives the data from the pspgo, but its not sending any data to the pspgo, when I test the connection the tilt2 receives about 9-16 bytes, but it says sent: 0 bytes.
I have energyROM july 16 2010 WWE winmo 6.5
Manilla 2.5.20161332.0
Build: 23563.5.5.0
I have seen vids of people doing this on the Raphael (FUZE) and other phones
I keep getting this connection error on my psp: (8030000B) I have tried so many dial #'s, changing settings, PDAnet,
I think the problem has something to do with:
it being WinMo 6.5 or
The custom ROM has disabled something in the Bluetooth or
Since the ROM is custom, the psp wont recognize this for some reason because just like the WIFI router; the carrier doesn't know I'm tethering. or
I have the wrong Dial-up # or
Authentication settings or Initialization command is wrong or
I need to use a Proxy network
Some other reason ( The ROMS BT stack) whatever that is lol
Does anyone have this or similar problem? Or know whats happening here?
Any help would be awesome!
Thank you
Worked Perfectly
After making the changes you suggested, this worked perfectly on my TP2. It's so funny, after I initially got my TP2 and tried it, I instantly gave up. Now that I'm a month away from going to a new carrier, and most likely a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, I got really interested in getting this working. It was a breeze using the Resco Explorer Demo with included Registry Editor.
TP2 Stock WM6.5
Doesnt work for me. I dont have CMGuardian.
I went ahead and edited the registry anyway and still didnt work even after rebooting.
I'm hoping someone can help figure this out... Trying to tether with my new Xoom!
Thanks a lot defcon6, I was looking for this some time ago, but no look, but know, looking for some other thing i found it, thanks again
Same here, stock 6.5 rom and no CMGuardian. Did you ever figure this out?
Never mind, I did run the cab from pengc99 and it worked fine. After soft reset of the phone, it never got out of the "modem negotiating" state but running the cab again fixed it. Now if I just could find the equivalent to CMGuradian I would be all set but this is at least working.
Bluetooth setting to ALWAYS ON?
Thanks to this thread and the pengc99 file, I successfully (quite some time ago) paired my TP2 via the bluetooth to a Nexus 7 tablet as well as an android phone, but each time I turn on the phone, I have to go through the following steps:
1. Select Communication Manager
2. Turn ON the Data Connection
2. Click on Bluetooth
3. Select one of my paired devices, such as the Nexus 7 by clicking the large "+" icon
4. Select Bluetooth Networking
5. Select the "Share Internet Connection" option
6. Click Continue on the bottom
I tried various registry edit searches here and on google, but cant' find any way to lessen these steps or preferably have the Bluetooth sharing set to ON at all times. If anyone knows how to simplify this process, please post the stops or file that will help us all.
Thanks in advance

Sprint touch pro 2 tethering problem

hello, I recently purchased the tp2 and love it so far. I have done a number of tweaks to the phone with no issues except for the tethering one. I followed the instructions that are given to tether which included deleting and editing some registry entries but i am having an odd problem. When i go the the internet sharing program and i hit the connect button, nothing happens. the "connect" button goes gray for a couple of second the returns to white for me to press it again. the status says disconnected and never changes.
I tried a number of things such as:
1.soft reset
2.reinstalled the internet sharing and edited the reg again
3.opened a connection with my web browser first
from what i understand is that the next step after "connect" would be a prompt that says "connect your usb cable" or something like that.
Has anybody run into this problem? Can anybody give me any advise?
Thanks
Im using mine right now but Ive also had a few issues
Make sure your Data connection is active( in connections under settings) before you try to tether
Quote: "I followed the instructions that are given to tether which included deleting and editing some registry entries"
Question....where can I find these instructions....iv'e looked and can't find....THANKS!
HOW can I get Internet Sharing to work on my TP2
tp2 tethering
you dont need to make any registry changes for tethering to work. sprint doesn't see the data any differently(i have been streaming netflix through my phone to my laptop for a while). try a hard reset. with phone off hold power send call and end call buttons simultaneously until reset screen appears. follow instructions on the screen. also are you selecting phone as modem or sprint for the connection? be sure it is set to sprint. i ran into a similar issue and needed to call sprint to have them reset my data connection password and i updated profile afterwards and it worked fine. hope this helps.
I posted my tethering experience with Mogul and TP2 here.

Thank you
I found it easiest to use the XDA-Tom Codon wifi cab for tethering. It enables you to use your phone as a wireless router for your computer and Sprint cannot see it. It works very well for me and its very fast, the only downfall is it runs your battery down considerably.....

Tethering vs WIFI use
Hi All,
First time poster here.
I have a new HTC TP2 on Sprint and love the phone. But when it comes to tethering, I have a few questions.
I finally got "Internet Sharing FIX" to work. It took a few connects of the cable to start it working.
When I installed "XDA-Tom_Codon CM Wifi Internet Sharing VGA" it seems to work but the data connection keeps dropping. Soft resets do nothing. A hard reset worked. But again after install the Internet Shareing FIX then Tom's WIFI sharing, the issue reappeared again.
It seems like these 2 cannot exist together on the phone. Is this true?
try this
install these: in order as posted make sure to soft reset after each cab
my bad here you go:

Which rom are you using? With a custom rom, does one experience these problems? I'd like to tether directly rather than wifi sharing. Does one do this with a custom rom and the above applications installed?
I am current using WiFi sharing on my TP2 with no problems from my home computer or iPod Touch but it doesn't work with my work computer due to it being locked down. :-(
If In install these three programs witll it allow me to direct connect via a USB cable?
Thnx.
I'm able to use ICS on windows vista via USB connection, but not for windows 7. Does the above fix solve the problem? (i'm using mightymike's rom)

Wifi Tether and Rooted Sprint Hero

Wifi tether doesn't seem to work for some of us. For me personally it connects but does not have an internet connection. Is it working for anyone? Failing?

Having same issue as you. My dell mini 10v connects, takes a bit longer then usual to acquire network address, and when it does the internet still doesnt work.
I'm sure its just a matter of the program being updated to work on the CDMA hero
Ditto
I'm having the same problem as well. Connects after a very long time and receives IP information, but nothing after that. Has anybody reported to the wifi-tether developer yet?
As soon as it works on the Hero, I'm ready to donate, as I gladly paid money for WmWifiRouter on my previous phones.
Same problem with me. Is anyone else getting the "AC disabled" message in the notification window once the PC is "supposedly" tethered? I noticed my phone getting really hot.
I'd really like to know why this works in the Mocado ROM but not just by installing the application alone after rooting. I don't want to start messing with custom ROMS just yet.

Not sure but what I did notice is that when I ran it for the first time on Mocado's ROM I got a prompt asking me to "Allow" the app certain rights. Now when I installed the app before I flashed his ROM but right after rooting my phone I did not get this prompt. Maybe the way it's installed on his ROM has something extra that has it correctly and fully installed on the ROM to allow it to work properly.
the permissions screen is just adding the program to the super user whitelist kinda like a list of programs permitted to run as su maybe downloading super user white list off the market I remember getting it from there with my G1 if not just pull the apk from the modaco Ron but you should try the modaco rom you don't even have to wipe all your settings and everything will stay the same.
I know it isn't ideal, but you can share the internet connection ICS style if you do the following:
adb shell
Code:
su
/system/bin/netsharing net on
echo 4 > /sys/devices/platform/msm_hsusb/usb_function_switch
At which point you will get disconnected from your adb shell and the internet Windows will recognize the Hero as an NDIS adapter. To turn it off I just go into Settings -> Wireless -> Mobile network sharing and toggle it on then off again.
There might be a way to get netsharing to also flip the usb function, using net_and_usb but it doesn't seem to work and my ARM disassembly skills aren't good enough to tell why.
Hey guys,
My wifi tether did not work, even with root, until I installed MoDoCo's ROM. After I did, it was gravy from there. 2.4 down .60 up.
mine works
mine works too, i just use it as a wireless router...
Mine works flawlessly on MoDaCo's Rom. Im guessing it has something to do with a string of code that the custom rom has that the stock one doesnt.
I finally took the plunge into the MoDaCo rom. Easy as pie and tethering works with no prob. Just Do it.
Yeah. I see no reason why not to go with the MoDaCo's. This was my first time flashing a rom on anything and it got it easily the first try.
Can all of ya'll confirm that the encryption or device access list does NOT work on wifi tethering app?
Device access list seems to work fine for me, but the encryption does not.
Anyone know if there's a workaround for USB tether yet, that allows native mobile network sharing? (not that crazy switch off/switch on quickly workaround that doesn't always work)
I don't really like the wifi tether because it drains my battery, even if my phone is plugged in to my laptop via USB.
Also, I haven't been able to get above 1.2 mbps down speeds with the wifi tether, and I was hoping that native mobile network sharing might help this. Anyone else having slow connection issues with this?
Wifi tether does not work on the stock Sprint ROM. It does (for some reason) work on Modaco's.
Check this link for the developers thread on whats happening - http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=188
He doesnt have a Sprint Hero to test with so he needs our help.
fixed!
The developer has released a new "pre-version" of Wireless Tether that works on the stock Sprint HTC Hero ROM (with root access, obviously)! As per user capnbry, "..the problem is that the gprs table has a default route on it, and it has a higher priority than main, which is where the wireless route goes. If you `ip route delete table gprs` after starting android.tether everything works like a charm." The developer has added this step into the program, and it works!
See the thread for details, or download the new "pre-version" here: http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wireless_tether_1_61-pre1_htc.apk

disable wifi windows mobile 6.5? Any ideas please

Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum, and was wondering if anyone can help me out. I have an Acer S200 but figured that perhaps this could relate to any windows mobile 6.5 device. Basically due to restrictions at work, we need to disable internet access from our work mobile devices!
I have read various posts that state that this can be achieved by disabling wifi access by altering the registry keys, however none of the methods that i have come accross seem to apply to my Acer S200 mobile 6.5.
Sorry to be a pain, but does anyone know how i can do this?
Thanks in advance everyone.

Like it has to be unable to turn on, or off? Does the default winmo comm manager not work? If not, just try a third party one, theres plenty out there
Hi cmstackar
thanks for the reply. Yes thats right, there should not be an ability to toggle it on or off - just for the wifi to be disabled for the user. I understand that changing registry keys is only a temporary solution since hard resetting would put things back to normal, but even that's okay for the time being.
Any ideas anyone?
What third party software did you particularly have in mind?
What about your internet access from the phone network? Surely that would be the issue, not wifi which you can't use to connect to the internet unless you're near a internet accessible wireless network which you have the network key to access...
hi xaccers,
the phone doesn't have a data connection plan with it, so it would be too expensive to use for internet access i imagine.
but, likewise then, is there a way to disable both of these (wifi, data connection)?
I know this is such a strange request, but appreciate any pointers from forum members.
Thanks
If would be easy if you could cook your own ROM, but if the user is willing to do a hard reset, there is nothing you could do to a factory ROM to prevent it from coming back after a hard reset.
hi trueg
that is true. However, I am a complete newby to cooking ROMS etc, and also if the user did hard reset the device, it would need to be taken back to technical department to have software reinstalled, etc. So the temporary changes could be reintroduced again.
So, given the above, do you you know how to temporary disable wifi/data connection? I have read others state that this can be achieved by altering registry keys - but the ones that are referred to are not present on my acer.
any expert willing to depart a little advice my way?
So your Acer phone has a wifi thats always on? I never encountered such a device but nonetheless if your wifi network at work is secured then your phone won't be able to connect to the wifi router hence won't get any internet connection.
hiya,
The users can use the devices in public wifi areas. But also, now that i've been trying to do this for ages, i really would just like to know how to fiddle with the registry keys. its kind of bugging me that I haven't managed to figure this out...
will I really need to learn how to cook my own ROM? (I'm not sure I want to take the risk :S)
I'm sure there is a really easy way to disable wifi/data connection (even if temporarily upon hard resetting) that the more experience members can help with... Please
thanks for all the input so far guys.

OK, so you want to prevent users from accessing the Wireless Manager, or do you want WiFi to not work?
How smart are the users that you are dealing with?
You can easily hide the Wireless Manager from the Control Panel and you could possibly overwrite wrlsmgr.exe with a dummy file, but preventing access to the Wireless Manager would mean they couldn't put the phone in aeroplane mode.
There should be several ways to change the registry to prevent WiFi from working at all.
I like to use FdcSoft Task Manager v3.1 to edit my registry.
Hi Alan, You can try cooking a ROM..it's not so difficult unlock your device go to XDA WIki find your phone then check step by step the procedure, connect Acer to the PC download the ROM you think is better for you, copy it to desktop, then to your device. That's it
Thanks trueg,
you say there should be several ways of changing the registry to prevent wifi from working at all. Would you be kind enough to let me know how? sorry - complete newbie here.
francomur99: thanks for pointing that out buddie. I'll look into that too...
OK, well do you have the following key in your device?
HKLM\System\State\Hardware
WiFi = dword:00000001
Changing this to 0 removes the WiFi option from the default Windows Wireless Manager.
Does your device use the default Wireless Manager or do you have a 3rd party Manager?
Update: Hmm, that only works until you soft reset and if you have a separate WiFi manager, it can still turn it on. Well I can make you an application that will set this back to 0 after every soft reset and you can hide any WiFi managers from the control panel, but they will still exist in the \Windows directory.
The best way may be to create invalid entires for the WiFi driver. Do you have this entry in your registry?
HKLM\Software\Drivers\WLAN
AdapterName = ....

Hi Trueg,
Thanks for the tip. Yes, you're advice has removed the WLAN display from the comm manager. However, I do not have the HKLM\Software\Drivers|WLAN entry.
Infact, under HKLM\Software, there is no Driver folder. There is a HKLM\Driver folder however this doesn't contain a WLAN subdirectory.
Any ideas?
Schaps Advanced Config allows you to edit the com manager. You could easily remove the wifi toggle from there, but it would still be fairly easy to work around if you wanted to turn the wifi on. Maybe someone else could tell you how to remove it from the settings menu.
Sorry alan303487, what is your status with this?
hi trueg
I haven't been able to move forward with this since the post on 16th April 2010 11:01.
i.e. the wifi connectino from the comm manager isn't showing, but I can still connect via windows menus.
would still appreciate any advice - so far, it seems that cooking my own ROM is the only other method thats been suggested.
still would appreciate your help trueg. Any ideas?
thanks mate.
OK, well how would you like to proceed? Would you like to try and hide all of the options that will allow WiFi to be turned back on, or disable WiFi permanently?
Also, what do you have listed under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\?
Example: the WiFi driver on my HTC Touch Pro is
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\TNETW1251]
hi trueg,
thanks for helping..
well, either of the options would do - depends on the complexity of the method involved.
regarding what listed under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\
there are many subfolders - below is a selection.

AxyncMac
