Good luck with this. It is one of the 2 features that keeps me from buying an android phone

I think that GeForce is the best graphics card…

Comment on Tether Sprint Mogul with Windows 7 by J

Hi Peter, I read your article on tethering Windows 7 with HTC Mogul and was wondering if you could provide detail step by steps on how you did it? I just bought a new ASUS laptop which has Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and tried to tether my HTC Sprint Mogul phone (which I had no problem doing on my Win XP desktop machines) but still have no success. Looking forward to hearing from you, cheers.

As of today Dec 1st, 2009, tethering still works for me on my Mogul with the modified registry setting as mentioned above:

My Device->HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->Comm->Internet Sharing->Setings. There is a registry key named ‚“ForceCellConnection‚ which is currently set to ‚“Phone as Modem‚. Change it to ‚“Sprint PCS‚

I’m paying $15/mo for data.
I am in the Chicago area now. But this has worked for me in the SF bay area, southern California, Kansas City area, Boston, and New York City.

Sprint disabled the “free” phone-as-modem / internet sharing stuff that used to just work out of the box, as of around spring or early summer 2009. This was a cool feature that worked pretty well most of the time, at least in Austin Tx … service in Arizona is/was always spotty. Even basic phone service is terrible in Az.

Anyway, if you want this to work you have to add it to your plan even if you already have a data plan (and of course, follow all the steps from above — worked for me using Ubuntu 8.04-9.04). Iirc, Sprint wants an extra $30/mo or so. But, feeling cheated I told Sprint where they could stick it and insisted they let me out of my contract, which to my surprise they did. Can’t wait to find another carrier — whoohoo!
