Tethering with Sprint Treo 700wx: Can anyone help?
371884
I have the same problem with a 700w, after some research I found out that verizon and sprint "lock" down the phones so you can only access certain bluetooth profiles. I believe that they won't ever work because the phones do not support ALL bluetooth profiles....good times

Hello, I just replied the following to the previous post: Hope this helps:I think that the problem is with the Sprint phone. There are some bluetooth connections with this phone that don't work. I had a wireless headset that I was pairing, and it would work then stop- continually, so I contacted the headset provider- Plantronics and they said that the Treo 700wx has had problems with many Bluetooth devices, so I tried it on a different bluetooth phone, and it works like a charm, it sucks for the amount that the Treo costs, you would think that IT would be the one that is working. Hope this helps.... Kristin Hello, I just replied the following to the previous post: Hope this helps:I think that the problem is with the Sprint phone.

I have yet to be able to use the S3 as a hotspot via Boost. Seems like it doesn't work, though Boost has tried to tell me there are apps you can use instead. I haven't been able to use those either.

Thank you for the tip, A. Gordon, but unfortunately that download did not repair my problem. It did not repair the problem for many others that are using Palm with Vista either. I do check these things out when I see them. That is why I posted to Amazon, to prevent others the same issues. Palm is supporting their Treo, but not the TX. If you ever hear of another tip on this I'd be delighted to try it. Check out the Palm site for yourself, and see the issues from other owners. Do you have a TX?

It works but I have issues with tethering. tethering fails with error saying network error. Seems other people face this too. See the discussion thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932538

Call Tmobile technical services, one on one instructions will make your phone work with LTE

yes it does. But you will have to upgrade the 700 wx firmware (Updater 1.22). Not a big deal. this is the site to upgrade your phone:http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/treo700wupdater/verizon.html

Hmmm...I have the Air so I have (and did install) the R3 update to that. I don't know that I want to chance bricking the R1, so I'm back to trying a bridge. There's no USB port for the WLAN access point, so I don't know of any other way to bring the signal to the box.Thanks very much for your response.

I am not using AT&T;, I am using lycamobile its working fine. But observed that some signal drop some times, i am not sure this problem is with phone or network.

Not sure if it would work with a plan that explicitly enables tethering. In other words, I am not sure how the phone determines whether WiFi tethering is enabled. Given that it works well with non-US carriers (e.g. in Singapore, Scandinavia...), I would imagine that there is perhaps some sort of negotiation added in the "WAP" (Wireless Access Protocol), and that if your carrier allows it, the phone enables it.Just speculation though. Give it a try - Amazon at least lets you return the phone if it does not work out for you...

I just bought mine and am having the same issue. cant get on 3g or 4g. i have rebooted dozens of times and no luck. i know i have 3g coverage from my last phone in the same location.I will drive around next and see if its just a location issue.

Yes, tethering it from T-Mobile network works. But, FYI, doing so violates the T-Mobile User Agreement. I have no idea whether they would notice, care, or punish you for doing that.

I do not use this device with Sprint service.I used the device with two prepaid cell plan companies both on the T-Mobile network.Family Mobile from Walmart and Go Smart Mobile.Family Mobile works just fine,but Go Smart says "Tethering Not Allowed" when trying to access web.

Does your device ask for a specific connection, and do you you have to allow t? Wish I could be more help.

I know of no way to tether to the unit. You need to be connected to a WiFi signal.

Phone will not work with any sim card; Has to be for your wireless carrier, T-MOBILE, ATT, etc.
