Guest Tangeray Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 This is SIICK! Verizon tried to charge me $30/month. These guys are scumbags! Couple questions. 1. How do I use just internet off my phone through USB. I got it to work once, now it doesnt. I don't want to have to drain my battery. 2. Is there a way to put a password on the wi-fi. Could you imagine being in a coffee shop with an unsecured network. All that data and verizon will notice, plus it says in the contract there is a cap for "unlimited data" I dont want any unecessary charges. www.ScrubMoney.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ardvarkofdoom Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Dude, I want to say thank yall for putting this program up! So, We've been getting really bad storms the last few days and about 30 minutes ago or so our power went out... Remembering about this threads, I got online on my omnia and downloaded the zip, transfered it to my computer, unzipped it, and put it back to my omnia... and presto... I have interwebs even with the power is out! :excl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OffGrid Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 I just installed per instructions and its workin on my i910(vzw) although im not sure it went 100%, once i installed ISC and connected the usb and did connect, i did not have internet, only a local network is that supposed to be all it does? but as i continued with the rest of the instructions and wifirouter was up i connected from the laptop (vista), and vista set me up with some network options for that connection, i used public and turned off file sharing, ( So does that mean no file sharing from the laptop only? Is there access to the phones file system while its being used as a wifi access point?) and i have to admit, its storming outside and the internet connection was faster than my cable modem, ( it loaded socialclub.rockstargames.com faster than usual for this laptop ( is that because i have the phone right next to the laptop?). sorry for ranting on, but thank you for posting, this is great work!!!

Guest NEWBIE2THIS Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the cap is the cap regardless of what you are using to access the web through your account. What I did was simply bookmark my "my Verizon wireless" page to check how my usage is going. So far so good. I have been using this for about two months and no charges for this ( as long as you don't use thier crap vz access manager) just don't select on connections " as the modem thru usb". When you do this they can track your usage ( 5gb limit) and want to charge you 30.00 a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pw-man Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 ok - so I have just started trying this, just using the ICS application (not WMwifi, as I don't have a need to share via wifi), and I can get connected. I do a ping to say, yahoo and get good results... but then within a second or two, verizon kicks me off and I get a notification "The remote party has ended this connection." Anybody seen this and can comment on a fix or incorrect setup on my part? Thanks! pw-man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CollectiveInk Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Sounds like you have problem with the ICS install. Try a hard reset and install again. I got it installed, and working fine (which was great considering I couldn't get VZAccess to even see my phone via USB or Bluetooth.) but I was wondering if there's anyway of making the connection "secure". In the wifi networks on my laptop the WMWifi shows as unsecured (or open for anyone to join.) and I'd rather not have half of Starbucks using my bandwidth, ya know? :excl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody seen this and can comment on a fix or incorrect setup on my part? Thanks! pw-man This is exactly the problem I'm having. -downloaded the zip file from the first post and ran ICSinstal.cab -restarted my phone -connected the USB cable -opened IntShrUI and clicked connect -it says "connected" Then I click a link in firefox on my laptop and it typicaly loads the first one I try, but disconnects within a few seconds. I can click connect again, and it will give me another few seconds of hope, only to disconnect again. Sometimes it just disconnects, sometimes it gives me a "The remote party has ended this connection" message too. What was especially odd was when it disconnects, it locks my phone and I have to put in the pin I set up through the basic lock settings. So I disabled the pin and tried again, but it still disconnects after a couple seconds like before. Anyone know what the deal is here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jessej Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 (edited) Got it to work, I just installed both at the same time and then restart and then start up wifi and then start up wmwifi router and it should work, I'm using the new rom, and I tried it on a custom rom and it didn't work, so I just reflash back and boom it works :D Edited April 29, 2009 by jessej Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice a lot of folks using WiFi to tether, but I'd just as soon use the usb cable for the few times I need to thether... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jmath679 Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 I installed and had no problems at all. I do have one question for the more knowledgeable people here. Would running Warcraft off of the phone connection be obvious to Verizon and would it cause me to go over the 5gb cap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ThinkingSerious Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 First, this solution works as advertised for me. Thanks! My problem is that every other day or so my WiFi goes missing. Meaning that if I go to my Wireless settings, the Wifi button is missing. The only way I've been able to fix this is a hard reset, which is far from ideal. Anyone else have this issue? Any fixes?

Guest xxmadhatter Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 works like a charm! thanks for helping us stick it to the man! on my old voyager they had a hack to do this too, im glad you found another one. PROpS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have WMWIFIRouter and your WIFI Disappears, try this: 1. Soft reset 2. Run WMWifiRouter 3. Click Options > Crash Cleanup If you still have problems continue to Step 4. 4. Open programs task manager and close everything 5. Open the samsung wifi widget from the samsung today screen. 6. Turn on wifi. It seems it wont work. 7. Turn off bluetooth, phone, wifi, then turn all back on. 8. After wifi times out TRY AGAIN, as it is trying, SOFT RESET (right away). 9. When it comes back on, immediately try turning Wifi On again.

Guest rick311 Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Can i ask why you are returning it? realized im not a huge fan of windows mobile. i dont like the battery life of this phone (or lack there of). i realized its not as easy to use as i thought it would be. still doesnt meant its not a great phone!! if i had the brains or patience to figure it all out, im sure i would have loved this device.
