Exactly. Think of those that pay for the hotspot functionality because they don't necessarily 'know better.' Might not be the best way of putting it, and at that, maybe some don't mind as they can justify it. In terms of the $1 for an hour - for example - if you don't even reach 30GBs a month then that could be appealing. But, in that regard, take into account whether or not said individual just tethers to his own single device and not others and blah blah variables variables blah blah blah

For many I could see that being a reasonable approach to somehow trying to effectively issue outside data usage of the device. Sure, some might argue that if you are only tethering your OWN device then how should that be an outside expense ... as Sprint - and others - external data usage and tethering plans touts the multi user / individual usage ... it's almost like insurance plans and how, as a whole, you are paying for the service as an entirety and you don't expect everyone to take full advantage of the 'plan.' Sure, maybe backwards, maybe not entirely relevant but - in a way - sort of. Drunk, as said.

But I could definitely see people like myself actually seeing that angle as being a positive one to help combat, or even offset, the 'abusers.' And some of the 'abusers' are not in fact abusers, but people just working around the hotspot feature who can't justify the price for their usage of tethering.

Very interesting. Not sure if that made any sense. Made some sense to me, if only slightly. But I get what you are saying and that would totally seem like a Sprint thing. Sprint really, and truly, is the last of the major carriers here and it would totally seem appropriate. Not to suggest the people finding workarounds, albeit simple ones - if possible, wouldn't happen but I could see a lot of people agreeing to something of that nature fas a showing of support. Seems reasonable. If I was paying for the hotspot feature I would really have to go out of my way to have myself, and others, use that proverbial 30GBs of usage to that ratio of coinage to data. If that last sentence even made sense.

I could see that working, and in turn, keeping Sprint in reasonable check with the people so long as honest and less-data-tethering-heavy-users went that route.

*should have proofed that ... I dunno if that made any sense ... at all.

It's too bad the proposed limit is 5GB (but I guess I'll end up forking out for the 10GB plan). I have crap internet where I'm mostly staying lately and currently running up ~25-30GB/mo, mostly from my Roku set-top box.

any one of you knows how law about TAX was passed?It was passed during the war for that would help the country. And what they did when war was over ? they have done nothing, but everybody still continue to pay TAX.If tomorrow you will start to pay for tethering,after tomorrow they'll want you started paying for your camera shots. All I trying to say that tetheringis built in function and when I bought that phone i paid for everything, that's why paid 500$.SPRINT, VERIZON, AT&T IT'S ONLY WIRELESS PROVIDERS.They can't charge you for how you use your phone. Another side of that coint is data plan usage. If I've used more than include in my data plan I must pay, but if I have unlimited plan who care. They're suck billions from our pockets, but no It's not enough.

So why do we get tickets when we drive past the speed limit if our cars can go 120mph? I bought my car I should be able to so what I want with it. The answer is because you're endangering other peoples lives. Same concept, by tethering 5 devices you didn't pay for you're screwing the experience for others by hoggin bandwidth.

[EVO 4G General] Papa Smurf151:
Not close to the sane thing. U buy a car to drive but have to obey the speed limits. U buy the phone same thing applies but when its broadcasted u can hot spot up to five devices and that u have unlimited data in ur plan then the company is acknowledges that u r gonna thether ur phone to other devices and use ur unlimited data to do it
[EVO 4G General] xviiivx:
I don't like the car analogy because if you're phone can download at 1Mb/s, and you tether it to 500 devices... you're still only using 1Mb/s down. So... what if I need to download a 500 gig file. Of course that won't fit on my phone, but what if I mounted an nfs/samba/sshfs/whatever share and downloaded to that? In theory, I could peg my bandwidth 24/7/365 from my phone... and then tethering would make absolutely no difference. I know that example is ridiculous, but I was making a point and this is the only way to guarantee you're not using more data by tethering. In reality, tethering to 1 device to do something that you could do on your phone anyway is not screwing anyone's experience.

I do understand the need for limits since I don't want to share limited bandwidth with people downloading torrents 24/7 while streaming netflix, etc. So what's the best solution? I have no idea.. maybe a cheaper (free) tier for tethering that allows 1 connection at a time with strict data limits? I just hope carriers don't start implementing a hardware solution in all new phones to prevent unauthorized tethering... but I'm sure that's where we're heading.

Maybe one day carriers will have so much bandwidth available that tethering will be a non-issue. :rolleyes: Oh wait, that's assuming it's about the network and not about how much money they can squeeze out of consumers.
[EVO 4G General] kcrudup:
Not sure that's accurate- I've been getting unlimited WiMax (4G) on my Sierra Wireless 250U dongle since they turned on service where I work during the week- that's how I could stick my Roku on my Cradlepoint. 3G (CDMA EvDO) is still limited to 5GB, though.

It's my impression they're gonna screw around with the WiMax unlimited plans now- that's why I'm unhappy. It would suck to not be able to watch Hulu in my hotel.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
That's WiMax, 3G has been capped since December or so. 4G is not being capped

Do you work for Sprint?
[EVO 4G General] Slatter39:
Only sprint allowing free tethering?

Ok for the record Sprint is NOT aloowing free tethering. If you are not paying for it, you are stealing it. I strongly believe they will clamp it down like the other carriers are doing. lets not get carried away here. That is why they are charging $29.99 for it. Because we have rooted phone, we are circumventing the firmware to enjoy that service. That doesnt mean ther are wilingly allowing it.

Welcome to XDA. I can be extremely helpful but I will also speak from the other point of view. Don't forget, I'm a consumer too so don't think because I work for Sprint I don't pay for things.

Just bought this phone and has the previous users gmail but with no password. Put my gmail in but still won't let me in the market cuz its asking for the other guys password. What can I do? Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
If it's a nand rom, you can go into cwm recovery (hold power button while booting, then choose AD Recovery from the magldr menu, then in recovery choose to wipe data). This will make it like brand new. You'll have to replace all your apps and widgets because they'll be gone after wiping data. If you have Root Explorer, you can go and copy your data/app folder to your sd card and reinstall your apps after wipe.

If its an sd build, back up your apps the same way, then just delete the data.img file in the folder of your Android build by putting your sd card in a usb device (camera, another phone, card reader, etc.) and plugging it to your pc and find the file and delete it. Then put the card back in the phone and boot Android and its like brand new.

Either of these ways will produce the same result, then you'll be able to sign in with your gmail account and you'll be all set. :cool:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:

PLEASE DON'T DO THAT :eek:. The last thing you want is to damage your new toy because you half-a$$ed a repair on the power cable. SOMEBODY you know is bound to have a soldering iron. Cleanly cut and solder the wires. And use some shrink tubing or electrical tape.

EDIT: This is assuming that the break is somewhere in the middle. If it's toward the USB end, you may be able to just purchase a USB3 cable and put that end on (I believe they are the same, but watch the pinout). If it's at the proprietary connector end, you're probably SOL. Either way, remember that being without your tablet for a few days or weeks is way better than damaging it to the point where it's unusable.

If your using royal ginger you will not be offered the update. If your on a stock Rom that's rooted yes you will be offered the update and it more than likely would come with a new hboot. Which means yes you would root and your s-off

Shouldn't take long if not minutes for it to be rooted again.

Just remember, refurb phones only have 90-day warranty. Going with 90-day warranty on any Samsung phones is a pretty big gamble. If you have to sign a contract for it, consider that you can get it new for free in many places. You can also buy a brand new Focus off contract for $350 to $400.

my wife upgraded to the focus because she liked mine so much, we did the refurb for 1 cent.

Agree with Galaxy S2, the G2X is the T-mobile name for Optimus 3d, it's not the Optimus 2x.

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] froggy3hope:
Are you saying that when someone calls, you can hear them and they can't hear you??

If so, it's because your phone thinks that you have a headset plugged into it. It expects the microphone to be some external microphone instead of the one on your phone. Look at the symbol up top in your notifications bar when you plug it in. Does it look like a headphones with a little microphone coming out of it or does it look like a regular set of headphones?? The one with a little microphone coming out of it is your problem.

When mine does that, I just unplug it and plug it back in! Or try playing some music on it first, then stop it and you should be ready for phone calls!

I was running a stock ROM, rooted, with the original radios. All was operating properly.

Flashed the leaked radio update. Everything still okay.

Flashed Das BAMF 1.6. It boots up fine (and looks gorgeous, btw), but my SIM card is not recognized at all. Symptoms:

When making a call, I see text in the upper-right corner saying: "SIM Card not found. Please \n the phone."

Settings > Call > Voicemail Service... tapping on this dropdown results in "Voicemail number change unsuccessful. Please contact your carrier if this..."

I tried turning the phone off, booting it once without the SIM card, then rebooting with it back in place. That didn't help.

Out of frustration, I restored my tbolt to the backup I made before attempting das BAMF. Magically, my SIM card is recognized and everything back to normal. ...I tried das bamf one more time, only to have the same crappy results... FYI, I was sure to wipe data/cache/dalvik before flashing the rom in recovery.

HELP! :)

EDIT: I've also just noticed that despite this being das bamf 1.6 remix, I don't see the 4-in-1 restart menu, nor a 6-bar signal indicator. I'm absolutely positive that I downloaded 1.6 remix... Am I in the twilight zone?
