Okay, so ignore my previous post. I've managed to figure how to get the phone connected to WMWIFIrouter. So now both my IMAC and Itouch recognize the router. I select the router option. But I can't get any internet action. In fact, my Itouch appears to be connected, but when I try to access SAFARI or any internet activity, it says "cannot open page" because no internet connection????
Is there an additional setting needed so the computer trying to access can connect?? I'm lost??? |

Hey, the download for the ICS...CAB file isn't working! Can someone get that fixed?
Update: It looks like the link has been fixed. I just followed the directions exactly as listed and it's working! It disconnected on me after a few minutes, but it reconnected and seemed to be ok after that. I hope it keeps on working. Thanks!!! This post has been edited by nerdherd: Jun 10 2009, 01:18 |

I love you. And this time I mean it.
But seriously, thanks for saving me 30 bucks a month for the privlage of using a service I'm already paying for on a bigger screen that I already paid for. |

I can confirm the bluetooth tethering works on a macbook.
All you do is pair up your phone and macbook, then click the bluetooth icon in the top right, click on your phone, and click something like use for internet. I can't remember exactly what it said but it was pretty straightforward. Also wifi sharing does not work for nintendo ds's for anyone who was wondering  works for everything else though. |

I'm with Telus in Canada. ICS was already installed on my phone. Is this a modded ICS cab? Or does verizon not include this file? Secondly, seeing as it was already included, is there any way for Telus to determine that I'm using ICS to tether my laptop? Does using the wifi router prevent detection? Or is it the same either way (usb or wifi)? I'm only concerned because they charge data usage through a laptop at an insane rate ($8/mb), but my data plan is unlimited. Can anyone with Telus confirm that this is not detectable by them?

QUOTE(jbrittmartin @ May 14 2009, 23:06) ok.... i just installed the ICSInstall.cab connected my USB cable and ran the IntShrUI program.... when i select "connect" i get the status "Check USB cable connection" i never get the "Connected" status. any advice? UPDATE: i installed the WMWifiRouter and have successfully tethered via wifi.... but i still get the above error when trying to tether via USB. i am using a macbook... so i can't download the ActiveSync drivers... i'm pretty sure this is the problem. the wifi tethering works though.... so i guess that'll do for now. any help would be appreciated. thank you. I had the same problem and just got it working again. I had the IntShrUI program working fine with the USB tether, but after my laptop crashed it would not work anymore. I had the same message that said "Check USB cable connection". What I had to do in order to get it working was install active sync from microsoft, and everything wokred perfectly. Hope this helps |

Hey everyone, terribly sorry if this has been covered, but I'm having a bit of a problem- I got wmwifirouter to work GREAT at first, and it was sharing with my computer and everything was working, but then my phone froze and the connection stopped. I reset my phone, and I was no longer able to even turn my phone's wifi connection on.
I somehow was able to fix it (I have no idea what exactly I did), but now it's back to that state- I can't even turn on wifi on my phone. I tried to uninstall and re-install ICS and WMWIFI, but when I tried that it said the previous version could not be removed. And now I can't get wmwifi to even run, and when I try to re-install it it won't let me. What can I do besides hard reset? |

QUOTE(OctaneMS @ Dec 8 2008, 16:34) Sounds like you have problem with the ICS install. Try a hard reset and install again. I was 'lucky' enough to get an Omnia i910 last week, with newer rom, ver 20276, which comes WITHOUT the ICS...  I already had WM WiFi Router ver 1.35 installed but could only connect to the network, not internet...  After downloading the ICS file here, making sure ActivSync was off, installing ICS file and following the instructions, my phone screen hung up a couple of times; all it needed was a SOFT reset, twice, and it was working fine - have been online now for several hours without a problem!! THANK YOU!!!!!

I just got this to install and work, but I was wondering if I'll see any additional charges on my Verizon bill for using this, and I have the unlimited data plan for my Omnia, but is there a limit on how much data I can use?

OctaneMS, thank you for figuring this out and posting it. Works for me on my Verizon Omnia and Vista Business SP2 laptop! |

the unlimited pda plan has no limit, i have gone over the 5gb all these months.. I was seeing an extra 11 dollars for data usage on the bill but that was on my wife's line, not on the omnia line. That is due to her downloading stuff and browsing the web here and there on her Alias.
