    Hi all,

    The tether worked perfectly with my 8820 for about a week, with fairly good speed on AT&T. Now it hangs on checking username and password with no connection, just a try again in a few minutes. I've checked all the settings twice and don't see any changes from my original setup.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks,

    Have you tried a battery pull? With your phone on, remove the battery for 30 seconds, then put it back in.

    Thanks for the response. Will doing a battery pull while the bb is on reset anything I don't want reset?

    No. It is the first thing to try when troubleshooting a problem.

    Sunkast,

    You nailed the fix! Tether now works perfectly after pulling the battery and booting back up.

    Thanks much,
