I guess they can see what u have. I called another time and i was getting prank calls all the time and they said they could see that i had evil operator and that might be why. I honestly dont know how they see it. I just got my nexus and it isnt rooted. I had a xroid x when the throttle was initiated. I was rooting running liberty 3.0 using the wireless tether app. I am not using wireless tether right now but thoight id share being that this is what this thread is about....

I tried that app but I didn't have the $10 for it. Lucky me I found another way to get around it!

I just used it yesterday (12/29/11) and it worked. Hmmm.
I am not subscribed to use wifi hotspot through Verizon, and I was able to use it just fine.
This is scary! If they can audit the apps I have on the phone, they have installed Carrier IQ or something similar in the OS without our knowledge. However, if you are using a rooted custom Rom, then I doubt C IQ would be installed. Perhaps they have access to your marketplace history? But still, the wireless tether you is a downloadable apk and not in the Market. Curious!
I doubt Verizon can remotely see what apps you have installed. I'm sure that's a privacy issue. However, if you handed an uncool rep your phone with it installed...
The last time I took my thunderbolt in for a sim card, my rep commented on it being rooted, and then showed me his thunderbolt running cm7. Obviously he was cool about it. No idea if someone would actually notate your account re: root/tether though.
But the bottom line is that if you're tethering very rarely, like most of us I'm sure, you're fine. They really only care about those that are using it regularly, and should really be subscribing to the hotspot.

I was on the phone with customer service..not at the store. Yes..he most definitely coukd see what i had. Why woukd i have any reason to lie about that. And furthermore...i want to root my nexus and use wireless tether..but i am not going to for the simple reason that its bitten me once..believe me or not..if this worked i would love to use it but just dont want to get hit up with fees...
So I am running liberty 2.0 on my phone and I used the tether feature built in a couple of times for a few minutes mainly to test it out. Verizon can see that I did this without paying their stupid 30 bucks a month hotspot plan? I have checked my bill and No extra charges. Am I missing something here? Granted I maybe used 10-20 mb of data.

Unless you gave them permission to pull info from your phone, I'd be upset. What else are they privy to, and how are they getting that info? What phone was this on?

Is that the same as elixir 2 widgets? Do I have to install another app? I am a rooke on using widgets. How does this app work to tether without paying? Thanks in advance. WolfpackRon.
