Enough of this bull, I'm returning my Touch Pro 2

(Edit - I finally fixed this issue. No more bull. See latest post from me in this thread)
I have been trying for months to get Tethering or Internet Sharing to work on this device. Every hack, every edit and every .cab install I tried has not helped. There has to be something wrong with this phone.
The following is copied from another forum I posted in.
-Quotes=THE-COPS
I did the DUN removal in service menu. that is , removing "dun" from "[email protected]" . Restarted phone, started internet sharing (with internet sharing cab hack), and connected. Go to open Internet Explorer on XP, the page actually starts to load ..... but then stops doing anything after about a few KB of data .. and then refuses to connect to any site afterwards. Tried Opera on XP, nothing. I only get Network errors like there is no internet connection. Disconnected and re-connected. Still .. network errors and no page loads. Disconnect. Try tethering instead of internet sharing, again. Add the extra modem strings like was suggested. It dials, Error, there was a hardware failure in the modem. Try again,.... hardware failure... try again, wait......wait .....wait.... it just sits there while still saying "Connecting". 2 minutes pass.. still "Connecting". Hit disconnect... and it sits there forever saying "Disconnecting". I close out that window. I disconnect and restart phone and PC. Try again, no difference. Remove the strings, no difference. Go into modem config and then diagnostics window. Query modem, Error, modem failed to respond ..repeat 4 more times... on the 5th try it says "Success" and gives a list of usable strings. I decide to "Query modem" again. Error.. modem failed to respond. I repeat and it will say "Success" every 2nd or 3rd try.. every other time its a dumb error.
Keep in mind I tried with the stock data cable and it made no difference. And yes, the USB ports are 2.0 compliant and work very well.
In the following, I copied a series of lines from the Modem log. I used "L" in place of of the date to avoid having to type so much out.

I never went through so much bull and STILL not get my internet on my PC. I hope VZ has another unit in stock because I AM swapping this.

Have you considered just tethering via WiFi? I use WMWiFi Router without issue. I just re-installed after upgrading to 6.5 (MR1). It took me about 5 minutes to load ICSInstall and WMWiFi Router and be up and running. It worked just as well with the stock 6.1 ROM.
If you can't do it with WiFi, maybe try PDANet? (Haven't used it with the [email protected])

ya take ur panties out of the knot you've tied them in and just use wifi router. jeez

I cant afford Wifi hardware right now.. I figured it would come to this. I also didn't feel like spending $100 on wifi **** only to find out it will probably do the same thing as IS and tether. I think there is a problem with the internal ethernet adaptor. If that is so, then Wifi wont work either. Thank you for your opinion ... and thanks for the help secretagentman.

The ICS/Modem cab works perfectly on my VZW TP2... Just make sure the network connection is set to Verizon Wireless and it's all good. No settings to change, nothing to adjust, just plug in and go!

PdaNet works very well on the TP2 in tethered mode. It has wifi capability, but use the USB cuz my wifi is kinda funked up. Highly recommended!

Yep, try PDANet with a USB cable if you don't have WiFi. Haven't used it with the TP2, but used it all the time with my XV6800 on VZ!

This is free and works. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4170499

I decided not to go to VZW today. Someone convinced me that a USB WiFi card will work. It's not that much so I wont be breaking the bank.
I have always known about PDAnet. I don't see any reason to use it unless you're using a dumbphone and using WAP. I already pay VZW for data, why would I want to pay AGAIN for PDAnet? Thanks for the tips everyone. It's not this phone, don't get me wrong... the Touch Pro 2 is the best damn phone I have ever owned.. aside from the tethering to the PC problem. I would never trade it in for some other phone at VZW. I thought there has to be a defect in either the internal Ethernet adaptor or the internal RNDIS adaptor. There shouldn't be all these connection problems... my Q9M tethered without ANY problems, and I left it online all night.

Try the software i listed. It is free. Dont pay extra for a usb broadband plan

WMWiFiRouter works just fine using the WiFi connection -- however, I have had numerous issues with the USB tethering.
WMWiFiRouter isn't that expensive and it works. I do not have any opinion on the other suggestions since I've had WMWiFiRouter for a long time.
I have found out the the CM_Guardian_Service is the culprit when it comes to the USB tethering.
HTH

WMWifirouter is the way to go..tether via WiFi, USB or Bluetooth. Can't be beat!!

I'm confused. What's wrong with the HTC WiFi router? It's free and works great! -For Sprint at least...

I'm going to try the free one first. Actually there are 2 free Wifi apps. If the free works, then I saved a few bucks.
A Mod friend over at Smartappsworld is sending me a spare usb wifi unit. Thank you again Paul. Hopefully I can get it to work. If it does, I WILL be so relieved. I spent months just trying to get the other crap to work. I never know if it's something on the phone, or something with my computer. My PC is aged, but I keep the software up to date. The thing with XP is, it's getting too old to update. Seems like it just gets more complicated and creates more problems.
And as for CM Guardian, I disabled that long ago when I was trying to install different versions of Opera Mobile. Hasn't been running ever since.

ICS/Modem cab works perfect on my TP2 (TELUS).
My first TP2 worked in minutes of the install. The replacement phone, Bluetooth died after a week, ICS would not work. I tried everything! I thought I was losing my mind. I could not figure out why it would not work. Then I read a small detail somewhere... you have to have the SIM card in the phone or it will not work. When I picked up my replacement phone the tech never installed the sim card when he activated it. In fact he suggested I don't bother putting it in. He said to just purchase one in the place you are traveling to. I didn't care either way, I don't travel much. Once I found that little detail I inserted the sim card and PRESTO everything worked, still does.
Good luck!

I use WiFi Hotspot myself and it works every time. I did pay 25.00 for the program but it was worth every penny. I use it with my laptop and my IPOD touch when I want internet access outside of my house. It may say on their website that it does not work with Verizon but I assure you that it does as I have never had an issue connecting to the internet using the hotspot. I have had up to 3 conections at one time between my laptop, ipod and husband's laptop and we had no issues. Hope you get it working but if not I would recommend WiFi HotSpot without an issue

Update. Just got the USB WiFi device yesterday (thanks Paul). Installed software and drivers. Then installed HTC WiFi (Mobile WiFi Router) on the phone. Rebooted both. Plugged in USB Wifi, got drivers installed without hassle. Turned on Wifi app on phone and BAM, it works flawlessly. No errors... NO bull. I am SOOOOO relieved! And I might add it is much faster than that USB tethering I had on my Moto Q9M. So easy to set up , and no slowdowns whatsoever on the PC.
Thank you to everyone who helped... or tried to help. It IS appreciated.

OK, but do us Verizon users have to run the

Wireless tether headache

Okay, here's the search I did with old outdated info from other phones that aren't relevant to my problem:
http://www.google.com/cse?cx=partne...9-1&q=mobile+network+repeatedly+disconnecting
Regaw's latest is what I am running. I am using wireless tether, the one that came with his rom, and it will lose internet connection about every 3 minutes.
Why is this a problem? Normally I use ICQ in my job, because I work online., I am constantly having to have people resend me messages and stuff due to this. It also interrupts and breaks any large downloads I do, normally larger than 10-20mb, and causes me a big headache when I try to work in FTP (for those non-tech-savvy, working in ftp is basically working on the guts of a website to make it work)

Are you trying to use your phone while you are tethering? I have only used wireless tethering once but I was playing with the options while I was using it and it wouldnt intermittenly lose connection. I just assumed it was because I was messing with my phone.

No, my phone is sitting on my stand, charging, and I have the wake-lock off so the phone sleeps. Did the same thing when wake-lock was on, too

Check your Wi-Fi sleep policy?
I am not sure if Tether over rides that or not. Maybe you have it set to a time limit. Just guess though, mine is flawless...as with every other aspect of my life...

I haven't used my wireless tether in a while, but I was also having this problem. After about 2-3 minutes of working it would stop. It appears as thought the data connection is dropping, because I was also not able to use the browser on the phone to connect to the internet. I had to diasble the data connection and then restart it. This solved the problem 95% of the time. There were 2 things I was going to try, but haven't. If you want to try them and see if they work and let us know, they are
1.Turn off data connection, turn data connection back on and then starty Wireless tether and then connect computer to Wireless tether
2.Turn off data connection, start wireless tether, connect computer to wireless tether, and then restart data connection.
If any of these work it may be possible to get a script or an app to do this.

That make me LOL, very funny!

What verison of wifi tethering are you using? I've had this problem before but that was using the newest 2.0 version of the wifi tethering. I reverted back to an older 1.6 version and i don't have any issues.

With the eris based ROMs I had no problem with using the 1.6 version, but after the Sprint leaked ROMs I have tried every version and still had problems. My solution works for me, but it is a couple of extra steps that I need to do that i shouldn't have to. It's just crazy how some peop;le have problem and others don't

dont have my phone by me... it's whatever version comes pre-packaged with regawMOD latest

I concur that it is weird how some people do have issues and others don't. I wish this app worked as well as the htc wifi tether app for the winmo phones.
Jerry43812,
I would just check the version then if its a 2.0 version uninstall it and then install the 1.6 version. If its the 1.6 version uninstall it and then reinstall. That worked for some of the roms that I've been using. I'm on the sprint leaked version now and it works just fine for me. I wish they would get the password working on it as well as hiding your SSID.

my friend had this problem on his hero until he turned on wake lock in the wireless tether app. leaves the screen on, but works

Wifi connecting but not working on Driod Incredible.

Since I rooted my phone using Unrevoked, applied UnrevokedForever, and updated my phone with an RUU
I cannot get my wifi connections to work. They connect to the router just fine, require my encryption passwords, obtain an IP address but if I connect to them it is as if I am getting no data whatsoever. If I try to connect to the marketplace, it gives me a network error.
As soon as I disable wifi, my data connections work, so my 3G connection is fine. I can turn on wifi tethering and it works fine too. I followed the directions from the following thread (I cannot paste a url without permission):
"OTA 2.2 Update With Root Made Easy"
What would cause this to happen? Does anyone have any idea of how to try and fix it? I've searched and searched, and I cannot find the answer. I admit that I'm a noob, but I have been reading a lot on these forums, and I'm wondering if it had to do with the radio flash, which scares the hell out of me.

WiFi Issues after Root

so... i am about to pull out all of my hair trying to sort out an issue!
ever since root, i have not been able to connect to any wifi!
i have tried 3 different roms, latest versions of each
CM7
RCMix
MIUI
on all 3 of them, when i try to connect to a free wifi hotspot, or my wireless hotspot at home, or a friends wireless hotspot... the connect button is always greyed out and will not allow me to connect.
steps to root were done by attn1 hack kit v10c
i have wiped data and cache and all of the good stuff before installs
ive also flashed the PD98IMG radio, in hopes that it was a radio issue
so... it is still doing the same thing, so, i dont know what to do anymore, it is driving me nuts that i cant use wifi!
ANY THOUGHTS?
please help!
thanks!!!

I run into the same issue occationally on my evo. What usually fixes is
1. Turn off wifi
2. Forget/delete any stored networks ( usually my home network)
3. Re enable wifi
Let me know if it works for you.

what exactly do you see when trying to connect "Obtainig IP" or does it time out or something?

(Q) is tethering working on Samsung infuse

I've tried both barnacle and wifi tether and both say their blocked or terminiated connection. Does anyone have either up and running?

I am having a problem as well. It will work for about a min with barnicle and with the stock tethering then i just lose internet conection on my laptop says the device is still conected and still have the h+ on my device.
I did recive the blocked or terminated conection on barnicle i rebotted phone it worked for the min then same thing lost conections. turned barnicle off then back on when it started i recived the blocked or terminated connection as well.

Yay! Tethering is working on my phone......only issue is that the radio stays on even after tethering is disabled, but I was at least able to setup WEP security.

How did you manage to get it to work? I have barnacle up and running and see the wifi on my laptop and can connect to it. Only problem is, that I cannot access internet. I don't get any error messages or anything. It just seems to be a local connection and not routed through.
Any thoughts on that?
Thank you very much!

I used the wifi tether version

I had to adjust the settings a bit to get it working properly and to enable WEP security, but I have used this in my shop for over a week now flawlessly.

I added an advanced a task killer to remedy the problem I was having with it broadcasting when tethering was stopped.

The only issue now is that with the settings I am using, tethering starts with errors in the channel config. This doesn't seem to be effecting functionality at all....it just means that I am most likely locked into the default wireless channel.
Hope this helps someone. Thanks to everyone for their continued efforts!

Sorry for the individual posts, but you have to have 8 before you can post an outside link. Assuming that it works, my next post will include the link plus the prior messages in one post so that it makes more sense.

I used the wifi tether version that I downloaded here:
