Guest Wilunleashed Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 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??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nerdherd Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 (edited) 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!!!

Guest DxTania Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 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 :D works for everything else though.

Guest ViOTeK Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pohi11002 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest agreen182 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wratchetwrist Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 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... :D 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!!

Guest vwdude04 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 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?

Guest Turborepu Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 (edited) 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. Edited July 1, 2009 by Turborepu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest delsoul6 Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 They monitor internet activity and block some sites at my job so I wanted to use ICS to surf freely. I'm using BGill's latest ROM. I connect via USB and open ICS on my Omnia and connect. I go to internet connections on XP and it lists both the LAN connection and my phone so I disconnect the office LAN. When I open the browser though no web sites will load. Could the IT dept here have tethering blocked somehow? Any ideas??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rex126 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) Hello, I have followed all the instructions here, installed ICS (connects fine via usb). The Wmwifirouter91.cab runs fine and connects, the only issue is that it connects to my home wifi network. It was my understanding that it was supposed to generate a wifi network of its own so you could connect to and use the ICS connection. I am not sure what the point is if it connects to my home router that already has internet on it. Sorry for the noob question, but if anyone could help me solve this or clarify it for me I would appreciate it ;) UPDATE: I have got it to work now :) (actually typing this post edit using the connection). I had to select the computer to computer connections only and select WMWifiRouter connection, and presto it connected fine.

Guest bluayez Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 For those getting the "WLAN is ON Waiting for ICS" message. I was getting that. While I was playing around trying to fix it, I went into Start/Settings/connections/Wifi (on Phone) I could see the wmf... wireless network showing as disconnected. Since it wasn't working, I figured I'd try and see what I could do with that. clicked and held down on the connection and a menu poped up. Clicked on Connect there and after it connected, all was good. The ICS message went away and it showed as connected. And I was able to access the internet just fine after that on my netbook. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vash8806 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Okay...So you've been trying to tether your PC through your omnia's data plan huh?! BUT you have a problem... You installed a custom ROM on ur Omnia.and then installed the two applications found on this thread... 1. WifiRouter.cab (Used for wireless connection to your laptop/PC to access internet provided by the 30 bux you pay to verizon for data plan) 2. ICSInstall.cab (Used for USB/Bluetooth connection to your laptop/PC, to access internet provided by your data plan) Well...so far the thread has been good AND bad. Sorry but I must speak out. I read 17 pages, all hopeless, until the last post hinted a glimmer for all those that failed at installation.. Like me, I'm sure you had.... "WiFi Connected, Waiting for ICS" and that was the end of it right?!?!? well..my friends...easy n simple step... YOU DONT HAVE TO HARD RESET AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!! EVEN IF YOU'VE HAD A DIFFERENT VERSION OF "ICSinstall.cab" BEFORE YOU USED THIS ONE!!!! 1. Turn WMWiFiRouter OFF... 2. Turn your WiFi connection on from the wireless manager page. DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY OTHER CONNECTIONS THAT ARE PRESENT!! [for example your home wireless router, etc.] 3. Turn WMWiFiRouter ON, and connect. and WHAAlaHH! there ya go!! all done.. **** IF WIFI option disappeared from your "wireless manager" page.... Simply perform 4 steps to bring it back... 1. Go to WiFiRouter..... Go to options>Crash Cleanup 2. Exit WMWifiRouter and restart your phone..[soft reset].... 3. Might take a couple of soft resets.[took me 1 only] ..but it should be back the next time you check in "wireless manager"... 4. Now simply follow the steps above...and you'll be enjoying speeds up to 1.3 Mbps [3G...also known as EVDO for verizon] on your laptop!! In Houston, TX I get around 1.2-1.5 Mbps download @ speedtest.net with an average of 211 ms ping.... As far as comparison between USB vs. WiFi connection to PC goes... THey're both @ the same speed from what I can tell.. attached you will find the files necessary for tethering, if you don't want to scroll back to page 1... as for the rest of the directions...follow the steps already provided by the guru's: How to: Get Wifi Tethering working on the Verizon Omnia I910 **** If you have installed any other ICS files before you will need to do a hard reset. **** Use the files I have attached. Download/Install the attached "ICSInstall.CAB" file. (You may not need to do 2 - 6 but this is how I got it to work.) Restart your phone.
