Got myself an ATT Touch Pro. When using the Internet Sharing Application, with either USB or Bluetooth, I am getting an error. This is what is going on.
1. Open the Application.
2. Select either USB or Bluetooth.
3. Click on Connect.
4. Click Yes on the Enable the Device Dialogue.
5. Status shows as Device Setup finished.
6. Network activitiy shows in the Top tool bar.
7. Error message: Cannot Connect. The Remote party has ended this connection.
I can put the same SIM back in my Tilt and I am running great. Also downloaded URPREY-ICS from a different thread and installed it. But still having the isssue. Any help is appreciated.
It's AT&T's way of trying to force you to get a tethering plan. You need a registry editor, and maybe your phone unlocked, but mine worked without it.
Go to the key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\settings]
There will be a value ForceCellConnection it will be set to "AT&T ISP". Change it to "Media NET" without the "" and that should do it. You'll need to close and reopen internet sharing if you had it open while doing this.
Thanks so much! It worked!!!!
Internet Sharing on FUZE
All you really have to do is go into settings and select the ATT ISP... edit... instead of [email protected] change to WAP. This will connect the forced ATT ISP Setting to connect to wap.cingular... No need for a download or anything... I had mine working in a few seconds.
I am assuming it is against AT&T's TOS to tether without the plan, correct?
My question is... I pay for the unlimited data package... If I tethered for small amounts of data while traveling is it really noticeable? Is there any other way for them to tell?

they can't notice if the traffic is coming from a laptop or a phone but they can notice irregularities in the data consumption. Basically, if you use it for normal usage (web browsing, email, etc..) then you should be fine.

I've had unlimited data for over two years. I stream TV via orb from my home pc to my phone and laptop, browse the internet going to whatever site I please, etc. I've went over 5GB a few times, but normally stay in the 2-3 GB a month range. I've never heard anything. And not they can't tell. If it's against their TOS, they need to tell their reps in the store. When I got my blackjack two years ago, that's exactly what they told me to do. They said you don't need a plan other than unlimited to tether with this phone.

So did I. Because I already had a registry editor downloaded on my mem card and it worked fine on my new phone. A registry editor is a requirement IMHO, so it's well worth the download even if you don't use it for this.

Actually you are better off to just empty out the value.
This way, when you go to internet sharing you will get a second drop down asking you to select the connection.
I did this and it works greate. ( This is how the unlocked version of HTC Touch Pro has )

I hit around 5.8GB back in March. Didn't hear anything, so I assume no news is good news. They CAN do it however. Doubt full that they will unless you make it a habit. That was only my second or third time over 5GB in over 2 years and the most I have ever used in a month. Yay march madness!
Took latest HTC ROM and sharing will no longer work
I updated my Rom on both my Fuze and Tilt. Now internet sharing will not work any more. I get the remote refusal message. I went into the reg and I do not have the forceconnect value to delete. Any suggestions??

Try a custom ROM? I don't have that ROM to tell you what to change, but I would guess it is the connection internet sharing is using. Use media net and see if that helps. If not, custom rom! There's no good reason really to run a stock ROM unless you intend on using your phone the way AT&T wants you to.

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. Does the Tilt2 already have a register editor, or do I need to download one? If it has one, how do I get to it? If I need to download one, what would you recommend?
Thanks,

You need to download one. I'm using whatever came with my ROM, so I'm not sure of the name, but they are available here. Just search for them.
Thanks, I'll find one.

So I was sitting in class hoping to fire up Slingplayer on my stock AT&T Tilt and see what was on TV at home but no dice. Then on the way to the car I tried firing up Google Maps and again, no dice. Neither app seemed to think I was connected. Then when I got home (I live down the street from school) I tried sending & receiving my POP & IMAP accounts and again, nothing. However, this whole time, I have been able to get online with PIE just fine. I can browse to whichever web site I choose. Oh, and I tried using Opera and it wouldn't work, either! I'm really confused. And to top it off I just tried the wife's Blackjack and it is having the same exact problems. I know this may be the wrong forum for this but does anyone know what might be going on behind the scenes??
Having the same problem here in Sacramento. It started sometime late this afternoon for me. PIE works just fine but nothing else can connect to the Internet - Live Search, Google maps, Opera mini, RSS Hub, etc.
Same thing just happened to mine and my wife's tilts, simultaneously. PIE works, nothing else can connect to the Internet.. Not Opera, not Garmin XT, not HTC weather, nothing. WTF? Has AT&T done something? BTW, I'm in Portland, Oregon.
Having zero luck getting online here as well, was working at 6:30P in Seattle, and no connection (incl PIE) now...Just updated my ROM so having a network outage actually is a better outcome than self-inflicted phone bricking Any ATT page on network availability or anything?
I am down in Los Angeles, and am also not able to download any data on neither 3G nor Edge since late Tuesday (Feb 5, 2008) afternoon.
Same here except I can't get online at all with any program... maybe a problem with ATT network?
yeah i just experienced this today as well. I can only get online with the proxy settings, but when i disable it, its a no go! dammnit, and i cant do slingplayer with the proxy settings! I think its definitely an att network issue!
Mine's down in San Diego. At least it isn't just me... or is that not a good thing?

curiuos, what data plan do you have??
Could this be an attempt by ATT to prevent Internet sharing and force us to pay for tethering? If PIE still works, but everything else has dropped dead, is that a deliberate change by ATT? Anyone know enough to know if that's possible?
They are probably redirecting somethings to open of the connection ways. I have been having problems, but with a few apps I can run opera and Windows live but not resco update or resco radio or skype and some others. I was having major problems last night with connection problems, it was jumping from no service to Edge to G.

well, thats what im trying to troubleshoot now, Ive notice that im only able to get on when im connected thru att's proxy setting, but when i disable it, i cant get on at all. I have the mediawork data plan, so i wanna see if they are forcing people with a non pda plan to go thru the proxy to be connected!

I have the PDA Personal plan, but always disabled (unchecked) the proxy server option. I do not know the proxy server address, so I cannot test if my data download is restored if the proxy server option is enabled.
In case anyone's wondering I have the PDA Unlimited plans w/ 1500 text messages on both my Tilt & Blackjack. Haven't changed any settings yet and to be honest I'm too lazy to try and mess with it at the moment...
My plan is PDA personal. (Unlimited data) I don't think I have any proxys set. ( I soft reset after initial setup before the ATT customizations installed.) Everything worked great until our two tilts stopped accessing the internet simultaneously this evening. Except of course for PIE, which still works fine on both devices.
What is the proxy server setting for ATT...mine is off as well, and have never played with it to turn it on or off before...
Unlike the rest of you, Pocket Internet Explorer does not go online for me.
I have the settings in my Signature if anyone hasn't looked. Why whats so big about my data plan princeasi?
1) I installed SMS chat thread v 1.0 which did not work. i think it is designed for touch screens and I have an HTC s730. I used the WM remove programs tool but it left behind several folders which can be seen only on the folders screen for messaging. I lso have no confirmation after send feature. The company, vito technology has not responded. Any ideas?
2)can anyone recommend a GOOD sms app for the HTC S730?
thanks!
How can I make absolutely sure my phone doesn't connect to 3G/EDGE unintentionally? I don't want it to default to this when it can't connect to a specific WiFi-signal, since my calling plan has terrible rates for data transfers.

i may have the perfect solution for this....(especially if you're operator is Tmobile)
go to start>settings>connections>connections.
manage existing modem connections.
tap and hold that connection located there and delete it.
now without connecting to a wifi signal, open your browser and type a site (ex. google.com) and if that edge/3g doesn't pop up, SUCCESS!!!
hope it works and good luck.
Is there registry hack to force phone to ask user confirmation before connecting using GPRS/EDGE/3G. All normal phones has that...

I'm not recognizing the menu choices there, is this for a s730? I did try to change user name and password in GRPS settings under Start>settings>connections>GPRS, but that didn't seem to help either.
What omadon99 suggested about a registry hack would be perfect, since I don't want to permanently disable 3G/EDGE, I just don't want the phone to connect to it and cost me money without confirmation when WiFi doesn't work.
I used a downloaded CAB to enable Internet Connection Sharing on my Tilt.
I selected "MEdiaNet", turned off USB Connections in ActiveSync, and it's working as a modem. Congrats right?
Well, I'm worried that if I use it I'm going to get a monster bill from ATT.
I already use the browser on the phone all the time. Sometimes for hours at a time when I'm on the road, so I already have an unlimited PDA data package. I'm pretty sure there's some rule where I have to add laptop connect, but I'm wondering if anyone else has done this without having laptop connect and what the result was, billing wise.
I don't want to pay $60 just to use my PC to logon to non-mobile/flash sites, but it sure would be handy.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Yeah others have done this and we have talked about it in previous threads.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=24147543
yea this has been discused many times.
My good friend works direct for ATT corporate, att doesnt care how you use the data as long as you dont go over 5gigs in a month, once you hit the 5 gig limit you are put on a watch list to see if you do it again, if you do it again then they send you a letter saying hey your using to much data, if you do it again after the letter they make you upgrade or discontinue your service. they have no way to check if you are tethered.
has anyone figured out a way to get the GPS to work with any nav software (i have the Garmin SD card) or use the HTC Internet Sharing without having to give AT&T the extra dough every month?
Also, do these features work with a new ROM?
thanks guys!
GPS on Pure is not locked so even with the AT&T stock ROM you should be able to run you nav software. I personally have tried Google Maps, Bing and TomTom, all working fine, so I don't think there should be a reason for Garmin not to work.
Haven't checked the Internet Sharing with stock ROM though because impatience just drove me putting a cooked ROM onto the device before I really explored all the stock ROM features/bloatwares. However, I can confirm that Internet Sharing works like a charm with my current ROM (I'm running Duttys at this point and am going to try out EnergyROM pretty soon).
Hope this helps.

I'm using the stock rom that comes from ATT Pure.
I installed Garmin, Google Maps and Bing and all of them are working without making any change to registries or any trick.
definitively the GPS is not locked on the original ATT Rom
Following along with the others in this thread. Third party GPS tools seem to work well.
As far as Internet Sharing, you'll want to check this... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437796
Is anyone else having this issue (having searched, haven't found 'lest I'm blind )
On my AT&T Pure, have GPSToday (full app, not the "today screen" version) and Bing. Both have worked fine on my old Kaiser, when GPS running, the apps both actively download new map sections as I go...
However...
On the Pure, if I open either app and run GPS, the app doesn't update maps, but when I stay in the app and turn OFF the GPS, both apps will start downloading map data (from the centerpoint of the last GPS position...
it's almost like there's something in the Pure (or some setting I've screwed up?) that shuts off these apps' access to the data network when the GPS is on... I'll test that this afternoon after my class, by allowing GPS to run in Bing and seeing if IE will hit the Internet... but in the meantime, just wondering if anyone else is/has experienced this?

Great, worked for At&t Pure. I'm now using MEdia Net. You may be able to change the registry key Value from At&t ISP Net to MEdia Net so you won't have to deal with accdidently clicking the drop-down when you connect.

How do i get the ATT Pure to Share the Internet
I can't get the phone to to the internet sharing, I have uninstalled the proxy but to no good. If you go to the program for intenet sharing I dont get any option, I click to connect and the error message says unable to connect. Is there a register edit to be done or do i have to pay ATT more $$$$ for the service?

First go to Settings\Connections\Connections\Advanced\Select Networks and set both to Media Net, click OK.
Then go to Tasks\Manage Existing Connections\Proxy Settings and check "This network connects to the internet" and uncheck "This network uses a proxy server", also remove the proxy server settings.
For the second part, it may be greyed out if you're on the stock ROM, if so, install the RemoveHiddenProxy.cab posted previously.
having problems again and again on just unlocking the phone so I can put a new ROM on it. I too want to use the tethering on my HTC Pure from AT&T. Have a link to a simple process to unlock and push the ROM?

Hi
I been having problems with using my "internet sharing" on my lumia 1020(keep telling me I need a data connection in order to use this feature....eventhough I do have). I asked around and one person asked if my lumia 1020 was from Rogers Canada which it was. Eventhough my phone is unlocked, this person is saying that the Rom on my phone is still Rogers and it is most likely the reason. He suggested getting rid of the rom, though I am not sure how to do this. I seen some posts here on how to flash but nothing for 1020, I am wondering if there is some guide for the 1020 as I really want step by step guide for my phone as I don't want to screw up.
Do you have the problem with both, wifi and mobile data connections? And did you try by connecting to a PC via USB (= using that connection)?
Also, why shouldn't it work with that particular ROM, did he explain that any further?

How I understand internet sharing works, is that it shuts off wifi and you can only use your data connection. It tries to shut it off and then I get this error ""there's no celluar data connection to share right now. check your cellular settings and signal, and try again"
Even though I can surf the internet before and after that message, so it is not my data connection. This guy thinks said he seen this happen on other phones and the he thinks the reason is that Rogers has like software locked that feature so that it only works with their Sims and that it is reject my Sim from another provider. He thinks that if I would reflash my computer with the Rogers rom then that check would not exist and it would work.
I am not sure what you mean by connecting to to a PC via USB. I can connect my phone to my computer and browse the file system of the phone, I just can't hotspot or really send MMS messages.
Oh, I thought you were talking about a different feature.
Yeah, you create a wifi hotspot from your data connection. What I said doesn't make sense then.
In general, you could also try a hard reset instead of fiddling with ROM, that's way safer. However, you will lose all your data on the device, so make sure you backup everything beforehand.
http://www.hard-reset.com/nokia-lumia-1020-hard-reset.html
I once had an issue with a settings page on my Lumia 800 back in WP7 days. Everything else failed, but a hard reset fixed it.
Is there any backup program to backup like your titles and stuff or will I have to setup all this up. I think my apps are backed up?

I don't know what "Access Point" is. I am trying to use settings -> internet sharing - switching sharing from "off" to "on"
Yes calling works, texting works(besides mms texting which seems to work maybe 50% time)
Yes Data works, I can surf the net, use any data required. Only thing is "internet sharing" thinks it is off.
Search the internet for "Nokia access point app" you will get a link to the windows store to download the app. Download and install it. It fixes internet sharing.
