Putty Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I thought you cancelled Sprint? Besides iPhone wifi, no download. HA HA!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sol740 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 That program fucked up my ICS, and basically bricked my wifi abilities, other than using it as a router. So I couldn't use the standard Wifi mode after installation, of course I have SERO anyway, so it didn't really matter, but it was annoying. If you run into similar problems lets me know, because I have a CAB that fixes the problem. Not everybody has the same issues though. ICScontrol is a similar program, is free, and while less pretty, is capable of the same thing. It also allows USB pam mode without using the "Internet Sharing" program so you'll be "hiding" a little better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJINOHIO03 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Putty, this turns your phone into a Wi Fi/network so you can log on through a lap top etc. Instead of paying for that phone as a modem bs or network card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I checked mine just for kicks. I did a speed test on EDGE and it was 265.8kbps, turned wifi on and went 2474.2 kbps. All download speed ofcourse. If T-Mobile would get the 3G towers up in columbus, maybe I can test that too then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88lx5oh Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I thought you cancelled Sprint? Besides iPhone wifi, no download. HA HA!!! i did... then looked around and found nothing better... iphone just isnt for me. i cant fine a phone that is better than what i have currently, and cant find a carrier with a better plan. even when my sero expires, getting a family unlimited data plan with 3000 shared minutes.. is way cheaper than any other carrier. so im stickin with sprint. and ill be grabbin up the new palm pre when it releases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
