Guest Worrksforcox Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 I updated my ROM to the new fixed one that allows GPS and reinstalled ICS. Now when I try to do connect it says "Cannot connect for an unknown reason, To change your connection settings tap settings". I am able to surf web pages etc so I know my data is working. Is it possible that the new rom is incompatible with the ICS (maybe intentionally by verizon)? Has anyone else had trouble with the new official samsung rom and tethering?

Guest Frankmire Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Do a soft reset, then try it again. It worked for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest natedawg1013 Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Just to let everyone know... Back when I was using the free version of WMWifiRouter, every time I used it, my Wifi disappeared. This is the preventative fix that always worked for me. 1)Turn on Wifi BEFORE starting WMWifiRouter. 2)Run WMWifiRouter as you normally would. 3)DON'T close it! Only close it using crah cleanup. Much simpler than trying to get Wifi back every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest howiem Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 (edited) hi, i'm new here and i would like to tether my i9010 like everyone else but can't figure out how to get the files mentioned here to my phone... i know it's simple but for the life of me i can't figure it out. HELP NEVER MIND, (Google is my friend) I figured it out... Just incase someone else needs this info this is what I did... from my laptop, I downloaded the ZIP files to my memory card, ( I had to load the Companion CD for Samsung Omnia onto my laptop which loaded the drivers so windows could see my Omnia) then placed the card in my Omnia and followed the instructions listed here. 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. Test the install by Connecting the USB cable to your computer. Then run "IntShrUI" from the Programs Menu and select "Connect". If done correctly the program should display "Connected". Now select "Disconnect" and disconnect the USB cable. Download/Install the attached "WMWifiRouter91.CAB" file. Restart your phone. Turn on Wifi. Run WMWifiRouter from the Programs Menu. Select "Connect" If done correctly the program should display "Connected to WMWifiRouter Ready". From your computer search for the "WMWifiRouter" wireless connection. Now have fun surfing the web from anywhere. *You may need to restart your phone and repeat steps 10 - 14 a few times to get it to work. OctaneMS, thank you for figuring this out and posting it. Works for me on my Verizon Omnia and WinXP Pro SP3 laptop! ;) ;) ;) :D :angry: B) :D :D Edited August 22, 2009 by howiem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gabelogan99 Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Internet Sharing is working fine for me. I can't get the WiFi to work and I've tried everything I can think of. When I go to turn WiFi on, it holds at "Connecting" and never says "Connected". I run WMWiFiRouter and then try to connect the WiFi and it still doesn't work. I have NOT had a problem with WiFi disappearing completely. It is still there, I just can't connect it. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have NOT had a problem with WiFi disappearing completely. It is still there, I just can't connect it. Any ideas? When you see this message, click the x in the upper right hand corner of WMWifiRouter and then click on the IntShrUI, if the status shows disconnected in the upper left hand corner, simply hit the connect on the lower left and when you see the screen gray out, hit the x in the upper right and then re open the WMWifiRouter and it should be all green and connected. No hard reset is necessary. If you do, you will have to re-install IntShrUi and WMWIfiRouter, what a pain. Good Luck!

Guest kdkinc Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I've used these ics programs before and they all work,however..... When I do a download speed test the Kbps seems to be about 50% slower than VZ access. I do straight tethering with no wifi. Yesterday I conected using my Rom's Ics programs ( Both BG's & BW's) and did a test then did the same test using VZ access . I like to save money like anyone else but I really don't want to sacrifice the speed. What am I missing or not understanding ??? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest acoustics86 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Probably a dumb question already answered here but I couldnt find the answer... Has anyone ever gotten billed by Verizon by using either the tether by USB option or the WMWifiRouter program? Thats all that matters to me, I don't want a huge bill next month. I have gotten both to work and am extremely impressed and pleased. thank you for this, one of the greatest programs ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NeoandGeo Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 (edited) I would like to know the bill situation as well. I didn't recall seeing anyone here getting nailed, but want to make sure before I try this on my phone. Also when using a smart phone data plan is it really unlimited or limited to 5GB?

Guest gabelogan99 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I still can not get WMWiFiRouter to work. I'm having a new problem now. It is connecting fine on the phone, so it seems, and my computer is recognizing the connection but it will not connect to it. It just has the exclaimation point over the internet icon at the bottom. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest slayer_2903 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Has anyone successfully tethered their i910 omnia yet or what? yeah i just flashed and used internet sharing no problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NeoandGeo Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I've had success with my new phone as well. The Wifi generally works on the first try each time. Sometimes for the wired connection I have to retry up to 7 times, but it eventually works. Getting nearly 1Mbps down and 500kbps up with 2-3 signal bars. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest akusokuzan Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Has anyone with bell tried this yet? I don't want to use it, only to find myself being charged ridiculous rates for tethering without their expensive plan. Can someone please let me knoww...

Guest NeoandGeo Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Several have confirmed they have not received any extra charges. If I receive anything more than the $30 data plan, I will simply refuse to pay them and drop their service since I am not in a contract with them.

Guest grayzkule Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 I installed IntShrUI ages ago on my Omnia and it worked great until I got a new computer. It keeps on randomly disconnecting over and over again (as in every few seconds) saying "Cannot connect, disconnected from the remote server" and only stays connected occasionally. On our old computers it still works great. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gr8games Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 thank you thank you. I installed this to my phone and was up and running on the internet in under 3 minutes both thru usb and through wifi. actually using wifi right now and it works great thanks again i have been wanting something like this and found it absurd that they wanted 15 more a month just to do it. awesome!!!!! FYI: i am running vista on my laptop, and MRCapcoms WM6.5 on my phone and havn't had any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TheWhopper Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 The instructions were simple and accurate to the letter.... :) But...has anyone got it to work with WEP enabled? (I don't want someone hopping on my connection when I'm at a hotel or somewhere.) With WEP enabled, my laptop connects, acquires an IP but I can't access any sites. With WEP disabled everything works fine. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NeoandGeo Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Just use the USB so you can use it for more than an hour or so. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
