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.
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?
why would you reinstall it? was it not working?
just download from thgis site the wifi software. it worked on my tp2 spri nt
Code:
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.

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.
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
I posted more info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=560865&highlight=enable
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?
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..

Best money I've spent on something for my phone!

I was flashing a JB 4.1.2 ROM several days ago when I noticed that my Desire S doesn't connect to my home WiFi network. As I played with the router settings before that and I didn't have the time to troubleshoot it at that time, I ignored the incident. Next day, I saw that I'm not able to connect to my work WiFi network either...then I've started to wonder what happened.
The long story short, is that I frequently flash several ROMs that are all CM10 derivates: CM10 builds from nk111, Andromadus ROM by Flinny, Paranoid by djpbx (current ROM). I usually flash every new release/build and test it to see if I encounter bugs/issues. Now I am not able to connect to any WiFi with ANY ROM...I don't remember the exact moment from which this happened but since then, I've tried with ROMs on which WiFi worked before like IceColdSandwich ported from Lord ClockaN's ROM, several CM10 builds (newer or older), even with Sense based ROMs (I've tried Fallout and Sabsa Prime). With or without full wipe, doesn't make any difference.
On all I got the same thing: WiFi "see"the surrounding networks but doesn't connect...it's not even say "Authenticating" or "Acquiring IP address". I've tried all the settings in Advanced TAB (WiFi frequency band, WiFi region), I tried with different security options (WEP, WPA, WPA2), I tried with hidden network as well as with visible (SSID is transmitted), I even tried with open network. No success at all. Network is saved but that's all. On hidden networks It says network is not in range, on visible ones is not connecting at all.
I've tried to change radio...I've used the last one (20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04), I've flashed also the one I was using before and which DID WORK (20.48.30.0822U_3822.09.08.20)...nothing.
I've tried with or without a SIM (I read on a thread that it could influence)
I was hoping to solve it but it seems I was not able to do it. Don't know if it's something hardware related either, but since I can see the visible WiFi networks, at least the scanning part is working. Just that it does not connect. And it was working before, at least with some of the ROMs I've flashed
Now I end up with a Desire S without WiFi. Everything else works: BT, sensors, mobile data and so on. I don;t understand what happened, anyone that can give me clues or what else to check, please let me know. Phone is out of warranty and I exclude the "send it to repair center"" option. I'll do that only as last resort and when I'm going to buy a new phone.
NOTE: To avoid extra questions: I am S-Off, current radio 20.48.30.0822U_3822.09.08.20. I've also posted the problem initailly in Andromadus thread and attached a logcat HERE
I have the same problem with my desire s. BT and WIFI don't have mac adres id.
I am not sure it this much related, but I had plenty of such siituations while porting the Wireless driver into my kernel.
It was a permmission issiue (when certain files were created with certain permission another ramdisk with another permissions was not able to start the WiFi.) Usually a full wipe should fix this. Do not restore any wifi data with Titanium. Use 4EXT recovery if you are still on CWM
Once I managed to fix this by starting WiFi hotspot (on Sense 4 ROM) then stop it and start WiFi. Hope this helps
I've gone through the obvious (for me at least) things. I didn't post here without trying them first. Full wipe, gone through initial setup wizard, then first thing added a WiFi network... Nothing restored with TB or anything else, nothing installed, just flashed the ROM + GAPPS + aGPS patch then setup manually everything. When I've flashed Sabsa Prime I've even setup WiFi dirrectly from the initial setup wizard when it was asking how do I connect to internet. Still nothing
Later edit: I've tried to setup a WiFi access point from mobile (WiFi tethering). The access point is created but not visible to any device. It seems like the "emitting" part is not working, only the "reception" is ok.

I know that you are here from quite some time and into this things and has no intention to offend you. Have you tried a backup and format of the SDcard? I saw this as a solution in one of the official ICS threads.
And what is the logcat saying when you enable WiFi?

No, no, please, no offence taken. Sorry if it sounded this way. But as you said, I'm here for some time and learned alot (thanks to this wonderful community) and I just wanted to say that I've tried through the "normal" ways. The logcat is as you see in my previous post (last code quote). There are only some rows because the rest are related to other things....
I've taken another logcat while starting up WiFi and then scan. Attached
I'll also try to format sdcard. This indeed is something I didn't try yet (I thought is not related). Wouldn't be the same thing if I just take out the card completely? For the test purpose I don't care what files are there and if some apps won''t work

From your first logcat:
E/WifiHW ( 1674): Unable to open connection to supplicant on "/data/system/wpa_supplicant/wlan0": No such file or directory
and you have noticed the other one yourself:
Error WifiHW 1670 Unable to open connection to supplicant on "wlan0": No such file or directory
It seems like a permission issue to me not a hardware fault. LIke I mentioned the same happened to me several times (WiFi works, sees the networks but refuses to connect) What is strange that usually a data wipe/clean install solves this.
Actually I think yours is not seeing the networks (scanning):
"configuration found for missing network, ignored"
Not sure is this possible but your /data partition seems not wiped properly. Can you make a factory reset on your current rom?

I wish...unfortunately not . I have mobile data (3G/HSDPA) with 1.5 GB traffic and 7.2 Mbps speed. It's enough for browsing the forum, even to download ROMs and updates.
Now I've noticed that not only WiFi is not workind...BT is not working as well. Cannot connect to my car kit and it was working before with almost all the ROMs.Since I first noticed the WiFi problem, I didn't try BT so I think the problem came in the same moment for both. I realy hope that is not something hardware related and it can be fixed. But I just don't know what else to check/do. I wanted to buy an One S but I didn't receive an answer from my carrier yet.

Maybe trying the latest firmware (from the thread that keeps your recovery and hboot). This is the last resort before going for hardware check I suppose...

So I've reinstalled a pretty minimal Lollipop rom recently, didn't install any of the Google things and use F-droid exclusively.
From Network Log:
https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=Network+Log&fdid=com.googlecode.networklog
I can tell what all the connections from my phone are doing and they're indeed what I wanted, except for a bunch of HTTP connections which show up randomly whenever I do anything that is network related, and they seem to be retrying in the background. Network Log shows these are from the process (1000) PPPreferences, to 54.xx.xx.xx:80. From Whois these IPs are owned by AWS and by connecting there directly it show it's their cloud front (e.g. http://54.192.137.127/). Occasionally it would also try to connect to an IP owned by Google (216.58.221.142:80) and an IP owned by my Carrier. These connections would show up if I'm using anything but the "System built-in" logging method. Does anyone have any idea what process or service is making these connections?
Obviously it's not PPPreferences, since I've downloaded the apk for the version for my OPO, decompiled it. It has nothing to do with network and it's definitely not making any connection. So I suppose it is being mixed up with other processes, in AF+ firewall, the following processes got mixed up into the same group:
PPPreferences,
Android System,
DeviceHandler,
Settings Storage,
QuickBoot,
Input Devices,
Phone,
Key Chain,
Settings,
LocationServices,
Fused Location,
com.qualcomm.timeservice
It's not a huge problem because from the connection log, the firewall is stopping these connections properly, but I wonder what it is. If it is related to Google provided services, why would it still creep in when I've gone through all the length of installing a rom without Google Play and Gapp, that's worse than Microsoft or the former Doubleclick in their worst days.
Please help! My R7 plus F cannot access the internet again thru WiFi connection. This is not the first time ( I guess 3rd or 4th), but it now lasted for 4 straight days (and counting). I am very sure that our connection has no problem because I'm using it in my laptop, and I also already refreshed my router, my Oppo unit and even made a factory reset (which was advised by their customer service agent) but nothing worked. :crying::crying::crying:
I have not installed apps that would control my internet like HotSpot Shield or Antivirus. Hope someone could figure this out.
I don't want to bring it to the Service Center (it would take about a minimum of two weeks) aside from I don't have an extra phone. Thank you so much to all who would take time to help. God bless!:angel:

What exactly do you mean it cannot access Internet, are you saying that it cannot locate/scan WiFi connections or are you saying that you are unable to connect to available WiFi networks.
If it is the former, I was able to fix my problem by installing the latest OTA update/Color OS ROM. The latter I have yet to encounted
Oh..sorry for not giving clear details. My unit can do both, scan and connect to WiFi. But once it is connected to our network at home, the apps and browsers cannot access/use that connection. The browsers and playstore shows error, the Facebook app says "cannot connect right now" and the rest of the apps do tge same.
Though I haven't tried it again with other networks this time.

when you turn wifi off in your phone, does your mobile data work and can all your apps get internet this way?
Yes.. I have no problem with mobile data connection.
I have exactly the same problem as yours! Please help. Thank you

when I connect to a captive wifi, I want to use the connection as is (maybe I want to login without telling google - since the builtin authenticator uses their gstatic domain, or maybe I want to probe the network as it is being redirected, or maybe I just want firefox to manage my password to the portal, etc)
but after I select "use wifi as is" on the android webview builtin auth screen, android starts to route all and every traffic to my 3g/4g data connection instead, until I disable and re-enable wifi.
it will only ever redirect traffic to wifi after it successfully got the correct 204 from gstatic.com
is there anyway to work around this?
I am on android6, but I think I has always been like that.

Do you have any kind of Linux ide? Have you tried making a tunnel?
Or is that what your looking for. I'm not 100% sure what your looking for. If your trying to skip Hotspot authentication? Or anything like that Then a tunnel would work fine.
Sorry I can't be of much else help
If your phone is rooted or has a custom ROM (Which would obviously indicate that the phone is rooted), there is a solution that you can try using a terminal (Or ADB shell).
Issue the command: "settings put global captive_portal_detection_enabled 0" That should prevent captive portal detection and gstatic confirmation. This should work, I haven't tried it personally though.
Additionally, you can setup a captive server.
Issue the command: "settings put global captive_portal_server g.cn"
Restart your phone, and you should have access to the pages.
Basically, connecting as is, requires you to reach a site that does not require 204 confirmation and afterward other sites should be accessible. Let me know if this helps.

no root on the phone (damn blackberry priv) and no control of the portal.
this is so infuriating. This is trivial, banal even, on any device i control. Feel like a kid on training wheels every time i touch my phone.
