pdanet blocked?

[hypnotiq]

Hi everyone. Okay this question may have already been answered but I've spent 3 days looking for an answer and I have not really gotten a straight one because people end up arguing or don't know what they are talking about lol. :heart: ok I currently have a LG Vortex and my boyfriend has a Droid 2 we both have PDAnet installed. Well.... one morning I'm getting up getting ready to tether and as I'm connecting it slows down on data connection... then it's authorized. so I continue my daily routine of checking my facebook when oops all of a sudden I get a nasty little Verizon message ...

AT&T does a similar thing as well. I have seen this issue before but I'm not sure how to rectify it.

Try easy tether. I use that over pdanet. $10 flat fee. No yearly cost. I still use it daily........ you could always root(if you aren't already) and use wired or wireless tether for root users.

im not quite sure what all this rooting means. I used ET like you said and obviously it's working =) lol but im curious what you mean by that. if you have a link or something i could follow that would be awesome =) i would look for it myself but i dont know exactly what im looking for. I just don't want vzw to be stupid and block this from me too =) diablo 3 is comming out soon and that would break my heart lol!

There are easy apps for rooting on the market such as z4root, oneclickroot and a couple of more. Make sure those work with your phone model. After rooting install wireless tether for root users. i use it and never had an issue.
