Tether hack

[pgreeny]

Worked for me too...but I noticed that I am getting the "Tethering or hotspot active" icon/message in the notification bar. Are you getting that as well? Is it a cause for concern?

I get the same message also.

EDIT: Nvm didn't read the other posts, I also get the Hotspot or Tethering Running Notification and stable version 2.07 does NOT work.

SQLLite tether hack working great here. Just make sure you remember to reboot!

My bad - I forgot I had a static IP address set on my laptop so DHCP was failing. Changed the DHCP starting IP to 192.168.1.x and it worked.

Also, now that I rooted and did the SQLLite hack to turn off "entitlement_check" setting, I uninstalled FoxFi since it works natively now.

Is this the same hack as on the Bionic? Do you happen to know how to find that field with DB Browser app instead of the SQLLite? I found the right settings.db, but when I look inside it there's nothing anywhere that says entitlement check. Maybe I just don't understand databases that well? I'm trying to be as cheap as possible here

Will it charge you if you use the included tether app? 4g is so fast I'm thinking about cutting my cable internet off. Getting dl speeds of 20+mbps

Yep. $30 a month for tethering (on top of your data plan)

No one's come out and said it yet, so I'm asking the obvious question: All this tethering we're talking about here, is it safe to assume y'all mean methods that don't slam into the paywall?

yes, bypassing verizon's scam of a service to access free wifi tethering

So it will automatically charge u even if u have unlimited data?

I tried a different SQL DB browser also and was NOT able to find the right setting, even tho I was in the correct file. Honestly, the 5 bucks was worth it for the program.

Yes, but you'll only be charged for unlimited tether, and not tiered tether.

Has anyone tried Wifi Tether? I was hoping this app would work.
You may have to set it either for the Bionic setting or maybe Razr Setting, I dunno.
I am getting this phone for my wife and she has to have this app working or I am dead. LOL

Is there a way around it like on the d3?

PDANet also works perfectly on the D4.

Do you have to be rooted to use PDANet?

While using Wifi Tether 1.3 (whatever the newest beta version is) I notice the default notification for Tethering or Mobile Hotspot is Active is also turned on even though I have tried both freezing it and completely uninstalling it with Titanium Backup. How can I know for sure that my usage during that time isn't being reported to Verizon as using their mobile hotspot app?
