    Using Sprint Samsung A920 As Modem

    How do you do this? I managed to dig up my data cable that I thought I lost, but I lost the driver CD. Found the drivers for an A900/940, which is pretty much the same as an 920, installed them on my shuttle. It found my phone as a modem, I setup a dial-up connection. Is this the right direction? I didn't get to take it any further as I am at work and had to clock back in, and don't have a spare monitor.

    But after I get this far, do I have to still use it as a "Dial-Up" connection and log in as 777? I had did a quick search about "Sprint" in this forum, and it pulled up a thread from '04, which was last posted to early this year, just wanted to know if this is still the way to connect.

    I don't know.
    You might try http://www.howardforums.com though...
    Have you looked in the FAQ yet?
    How about the Wiki?

    You can download the sprint connection manager from www.sprint.com/downloads they have a version with all the drivers for samsung handhelds. I'm not sure about actual usage cost though. I know in the AZ area they have unlimited "tethered" data plans for $40.

    As far as I know, if you get the Sprint Power VisionSM Access Pack for $15.00/month you can get unlimited tethered access to the internet...

    Peace,

    As far as I know the above is only for non-EVDO phones, which I thought the A-920 is. Unlimited EVDO as a data modem is $60/mth here.

    Yes that works, and here are the complete steps. I have the A900 and as far as I know the steps are the same. DO NOT INSTALL the Sprint PCS connection manager... just see the steps here -HERE-
    Basically you have to disable the phone's modem NAI and then it'll let you connect via the #777. There is debate as to whether or not you'll get charged for this, some have, others haven't. I have the Power Vision Pack with unlimited data/web, so we'll see... I've been using mine for just under a month now... :-) I have been connecting at about 930kbps :-)

    Also I have the A900 drivers that I use on my site in the CarPC Software Section. You can use either the USB data cable or Bluetooth to connect. I use Bluetooth, but have connected with the USB data cable.

    Well, thanks for all the help, works fine on my phone. Don't know if it'll be charged or not. I am on the Unlimited Vision pack, so I dunno. But man, its barely faster than dial up. It connects at I think 280kpbs, and downloads are 32kbp/s...
