Tethering for Windows Phone 7 Possible on Samsung Devices!!!
So all you Windows Mobile fans that just went to Windows Phone, are you missing that tethering you used to do? Well we have good news here at PPCG - if you own a samsung Device...It appears that if you type in some codes on the dialer you can use your phone as a modem.
To use your device please follow these simple steps listed below:
1. On your Samsung Device dial: ##634# then press call. You’ll go into the Diagnosis Menu. Don't worry you won't need to remember this number simply because now it is on your program list with a picture of a phone - this is basically the diagnostics menu for the dialer.
2) Now dial (on the diagnostic creen) *#7284# and a dialogue will pop up letting you change the settings from Zune to modem or “Modem, USB dialognostics”. You want to go with “Modem, Tethered Call”. It will restart you phone after a few seconds. Once it restarts, connect to your PC over USB and drivers will be installed on your computer. Now go to your connections on your PC and you’ll see that a Samsung modem was added.
3) Now on your computer you need to change the setting for the Samsung modem. If you set it to prompt for user name you’ll be able to put in the login info. This is all it is:
number: *99***1#
user name: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
password: CINGULAR1

Lol, didn’t take very long did it!
.
I guess one “advantage” of having to wait for WP7 from Verizon is that all of these issues could be cracked by the time we have access to a phone.
Go forth, ye trail-blazers! Go forth!
(We unwilling late-adopters will reap the benefits, thank you!)
yes, these issues could be crack, but they can also be patched. D=
as ive said. . tp2 untill everything gets worked out. great news however
Same here. I can’t give up my TP2 until all the issues are worked out with WP7. I use SPB MS and my phone looks a lot like the Androids with multiple screens. So to me Android is no big change. That’s why I like WP7. It’s a lot different from those grid-like layouts that all the other phones use including Blackberry and iPhone. I had to tether the other day when my home Internet went out for a few hours. It’s great to be able to do that. Plus I think that Verizon might take away tethering in the next update anyway. Or at least make it not so easy. Oh well it doesn’t matter to me since I’m on Sprint SERO $30 and have to wait ’till next year to see what they have to offer. If I like it, I’ll upgrade to SERO premium and get a WP7.
they sucked me out of my sero. = ( now i have a shared plan with another line i hardly ever use (the batphone) good thing is the contract is up on it in january.
