Hi! i hope someone can help me regarding my concern. I just flashed the Endymion about 2 days ago and i really love it. But the problem is when im using the internet pass-through while my phone is connected to my brothers laptop, the pass-through is disconnected whenever i drag down the notifications bar. The pass-through is very important to me as sometimes im using it as a router. (internet pass through then wifi hotspot). any solution for this?
Thanks! your help is really appreciated.

I know why you're getting that problem mate. I've been on Endymion through all it's versions since the very beginning, and Internet Pass-through has worked just fine on all of them.
That said, there is a small bug that USB disconnects when you pull down the notification drawer while connected as USB storage or Internet Pass-through. However, there is a workaround that works beautifully and consistently for me as described below:
Here's my set-up in case it helps:
Disable the feature that asks you whether to connect as "Charge only" or "USB Mass storage" every time you plug in the USB, and set it to "Charge only" by default.
Then, whenever you connect to PC via USB cable, just pull down the notification drawer and select Internet Pass-through manually when you want to use that feature.
However, while connected, if you pull down the notification drawer, the USB connection will disconnect, and so will the internet pass-through.
I've found that if you go to RCMIX tweaks and select "Default Quicksettings", under Notification settings, that problem disappears, and the USB doesn't disconnect anymore, even when you pull the notification drawer.
Hope this helps.

The "Thanks" indicates that this may have solved your problem.
If that is the case, might i suggest that you amend your thread topic and add the prefix [SOLVED] so that others may benefit from the knowledge?
Some editing done to text.

Hey, I have a Motorola Q9h and I'm using it to connect my laptop to the internet.
Currently I am using the Internet Connection Sharing program "IntShrUI.exe" and connect via USB. Now I heard that it was possible to use a Bluetooth PAN instead of the USB cable. The only problem is that the "Bluetooth PAN" option doesn't show up in IntShrUI.exe
I searched through a lot of forums and read many threads but didn't find any answers. Only some more people asking about that issue
baimo- you were right on. Got it up and running with my laptop. The only thing I noticed that a USB was the only option to tether. Didn't see a Bluetooth connection option. But regardless, good to go. Thanks.

Hello,
I was wondering if any one out there could help with this problem, i had a quick search on google and on this forum but to no avail albeit I'm not very good at searching.
When I'm at work (like now) I always have my HTC TYTN checking for new e-mails every 10mins or so... it's very important for me. I always bring my USB charger because this tends to drain the battery a lot.
The problem is when I connect with active sync my phone will not connect my tmobile internet thus it stops receiving emails and won't connect to the internet, only when i unplug my device from the PC it will, I was wondering if anyone else experienced this same problem?? I've played around with a few settings but nothing seems to be working.
Any help will be much appreciated
Goto file/Connection Settings/ click on "Allow wireless connection on device when connected to desktop"/ Click "OK"
For good measures if you are connected, unplug your ppc, close Active Sync, plug back in.
Hi, thank you for your suggestion...
I tried the following but unfortunately it didn't solve my problem
Fresh Start
You may also try deleating your device from Active Sync and then re-establiahing the connection with the above settings. Soft reset your divice at the same time.
Ahh no luck I'm afraid...
I've tried playing around with it afterwards but still to no avail, maybe it just doesn't like my work PC...
It can connect to the mobile internet, however it doesn't want to use that internet to cehck for email even after i set my e-mail to specifically only check for e-mail from my mobile connection, as soon as i unplug the USB cable i can connect no problems...
Thank you for your suggestions.
hello everyone,
I cannot get Activesync to recognize my htc touch pro no matter what i do,... i've uninstalled and reinstalled shut everything off then on, followed all of MS's advice, and nothing works,...
Any suggestions,...? No problems connecting my tytn II and my hermes,...
thanks,

Are you running any firewall software? If so, this is relevant to you.
start>>settings>>connections>>usbtopc>> un check the "enable advanced network functionality"
sorry attnoob, was trying for your quick fix, but it didn't work,... thanks anyway,... now will go to the firewall issues noted above, but i already opened the ports as per ms's recommendations in help,...
will try other suggestions and get back to you,...
ok, so allenh, read all the info at the link you sent me, and actually did all these things yesterday, but it didn't work,... also, something strange happens when i hook the device to the PC in that, the device immediately goes to the 'internet sharing' program you use when tethering, it establishes a connection with the internet, and there is a comments saying 'check usb cable connection' and this never happened with the tytn II,...
your help is appreciated,...

Check the USB cable
It seems the USB cable the Tilt uses and the one the Raphael/Fuze use are different, If i use the cable that i usued with my tilt the computer would not recognize the Fuze it will charge it though, only if i use the usb cable that came with the Fuze it works fine.
Are you using the stock ROM or a cooked ROM. Some of the new cooked ROMS are having this problem.
Also, are you using Vista or XP. The problems seem to be with XP.
my fuze seems to also be having this issue... i can hear my laptop do the little noise saying something is attached but my phone never pops up with the screen anymore asking what i would like to do. sometimes i get lucky and it will randomly connect to active sync but would not give me any warning whether it was going to work or not.
btw, it didnt start doing this until i flashed NATF's v2.1 and also loaded a custom theme and toolbars and such.... it worked after i loaded NATF's rom, just randomly stopped at some point after that.
if you are putting on a new rom then put the phone in bootloader mode it worked for me

My Fuze is doing this too, excep every single time. I can't get Activesync to work through USB. And I'm running the stock ROM. Internet Sharing automatically connects.
Okay, I set Internet Sharing to Bluetooth PAN (instead of USB), which kept it from automatically starting when I plugged in the USB. This let ActiveSync and the 'choose a connection type' startup on my Fuze and everything has been fine.
Try your PC Network settings
Hi,
I have the same problem recently. My AS does not want to recognize my Raphael. What I did was go to the network setting of the PC (Network Connections) and disable the 1394 adapter. Then my AS now can recognize my Raphael. The next unsolved thing is how to make the connection stable enough to make happen the syncing.
Drax
Hi, I had similar problem. Once upon a time the connection between my Touch Pro (WM6.5.3) and PC stopped working. Activesync did nothing and after a minute gave error message with troubleshoot guide. So I opened control panel ---> device manager (with mobile connected via USB), where I found "Windows mobile based device" between network adapters. I opened it and under it's advanced settings I found "network address" which was set to "unavailable". So I changed it to 192.168.2.2 and now it works again ;-)
Hope it helps someone ;-)
Hi.
When i connect my touch pro to my laptop my touch pro thinks he is charging. I tried another laptop/cabel/ROM but it doens't matter.
I can't get a connection with my phone.
Any idea's?
Don't you get asked, what to do, when you connect the TP to your laptop?
Maybe it connects as Harddisk? Do you get a removable device in your laptops file explorer after connecting?
Check settings of your TP in connections - USB to PC.

Hi,
No, i don't get asked and the settings are good.
It's strange, because it is suddenly.
I had this problem last week and it turned out to be the cable I was using....but I guess you already tried that. How many cables you try? Maybe get another one and try it...

Well, i tried 3 different cables. The only thing i changed is the cable in my car. last week i was i Italy and by car charger has gone dead. And i buyed another one. that's all..
Anyone?...
hardreset?
Hard-reset, new ROM, new Radio... nothing helps
Reinstall activesync.
Try another laptop/computer.
Otherwise I don't know.

Deed.. nothing
Maybe you can find some new ideas here.
my phone sometimes just charges without activesync but that's only when i have wifi on 0.o if i turn wifi off then the phone syncs.
No luck... tried everything.
Well,I have similar issue with AS.
It starts suddenly and now I am unable to connect.
When I have enabled "Faster data synchronization",then the green icon keeps rotating for a while,but ends with an errormessage. When I uncheck it,AS absolutely doesn't see TP,no attempt.
My cable is working,because I am synchronizing also a HTC Hurricane(SDA2) without any problems.
I have also tried another PC,no luck,same symptoms.
Mass Storage and Internet sharing is working also perfectly.
Mainly I tought,that the IP connection is firewalled,but when it doesn't work also on another PC,that was working before,I have no more ideas.
When I got my Captivate and first plugged it in to my laptop, I was surprised when I was greeted with four options on the screen, Kies, Music Device, Media Device, and USB Tethering. Of course, I tried out USB tethering and it worked nicely.
It looks like the latest OTA update just removed that functionality. The option isn't presented when I connect to my laptop. I wonder if they removed it all together or just hide the option.
Of course, there are several other tethering options available, so it's not a great loss, but I thought people might like to know about it. I'm just glad the update didn't brick my phone! Now if I could only fix the problem with the phone turning itself off randomly when it sleeps. This update doesn't seemed to have helped with that problem at all.
Captivate PC Internet (Tethering) Option Gone?
Wow, thanks for the heads up, I kind of figure that may happen they give a little and take a lot. Did you have the dreaded GPS issue and if you did was it fixed? Have you checked to see if the PC Internet option was removed from Settings>Applications>USB Settings?
Thanks Roger
Yes, the OTA took off the usb tethering option in USB settings. GPS does not seem to have been fixed on my end at all. Been about a minute, and navigation is still trying to get a lock.

Why not use pre8?
From a phone on an app
What is pre8?
I just did the update and now I'm screwed. I'm at work with a bunch of homework to do and can't tether. How can I fix this before tomorrow night? I don't want to root my phone and can't use pdanet because my laptop doesn't have Bluetooth.
why not flash cognition ? That has mobileap in it...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Since I don't want to root my phone are my only options to either add Bluetooth to my laptop and pay for pdanet or add tethering to my plan?

Have you looked into the 1-click factory restore option?
i dont think that it requires root to work.
I just broke down and bought easy teather works great.

still having a little bit hassle on having a lock or fix location. always needs the help of network. GPS alone is kinda........urrrrggghhh!
If you are ok with a USB cable, I found a way to still use tethering over the USB cable after the OTA update. It is just not a straight forward as it was before. Here is how I got it to work on stock ROM, no root access.
Plug in USB cable and connect to PC. Select Mass Storage mode (when you have activated the Ask on connection in the USB Settings - Application menu under Settings). Fully connect you phone to the PC, by pulling down the Status bar and selecting the USB connect line and making the internal (and optional if you have installed external) Memory card visible on your PC. The on the PC disconnect the USB drives again (you have to disconnect first on the PC) and then end the USB Mass Storage mode by pulling again down the Status Bar on the phone and turn off the USB connection. Then when you unplug the USB cable and replug it and now select the Kies connection type, it will successfully connect to Samsung Kies. If you now have Samsung Kies on your PC installed (the UK version)you can select there the Tethering and start it and you can connect and your phone will do Tethering.
I tried it several times and every time it worked. This is not as elegant as it was before, but at least if you need an internet connection and your phone is the only way to get to it, you can still tether.
Hope this will help someone out there who needs a PC connection!

For anybody who is wondering this worked fine for me as well. I selected UK for my location and language. I'll post back up letting you know whether or not it works selecting USA. Once configured and installed, it takes roughly 60 seconds to be up...
thats excellent. i do have Kies installed. I'll give it a shot tonight.
Wifi lost while charging from computer
Can any confirm since the update, wifi connections are now lost while charging from computer via the usb port. Edge or 3g is available if you turn off wifi before connecting. With wifi on, disconnect the usb from the computer and wifi access is again available on the phone.
Running Easytether now. Doesn't require root and seems to work fine. Available on the market, if you pull your sim card. $10 for the full licensed version.
Samsung Kies is free software specifically for the galaxy s series and allows you to tether.
The link is below. being a new member they wont let me post an actual link.

Is there a way to re-enable the tethering option through the source code or rooting? Also if Froyo is OTA from AT&T, I would assume they would continue to keep this option hidden/removed. Am I right?

Yea, check the android development section. The Cognition ROM re-enables both USB and Wireless tether...
Tethering was not removed by the update. You don't need Kies installed, you don't need root, and you don't need any tricks. If you select the "Kies (firmware update)" mode, tethering works fine, assuming you've installed the USB drivers and created the necessary dial-up networking connection for the USB mode.
