I'm using stock ROM so CIQ is still there. I've been using WiFi Tether for root user so I have not been disabling the Entitlement. This is what I think. there's an APN called entitlement. I think this is the APN that AT&T uses to track tethering traffic. Since the OP's method disables entitlement, it's using the medianet APN to tether. WiFi tether uses whatever APN available. Since I didn't disable entitlement, it's using the Entitlement APN to tether. To play it safe, I'll use my Tilt 2 for tether from now on.
[LG Thrill 4G] latinohot:
That's exactly what I do on the road, use my tilt2 for tethering my laptop and watch all kinds of streams, specially hulu and those old episodes of AirWolf and Knight Rider
[LG Thrill 4G] Kenxai:
thank you !!!
[LG Thrill 4G] aaronio:
Great, Thanks.

Option number two worked on my Unlocked AT&T LG Thrill now used in Telcel Mexico Network.

Thanks.

The app Any Cut worked perfectly... i was finally able to use my phone to get internet on my ipad... thanks gor the help!!
[LG Thrill 4G] dba.rknair@gmail.com:
second method worked like a charm.
[LG Thrill 4G] WattB006:
I used the 1st method. Worked perfectly. I also unchecked entitlement because I have got a text from ATT about tethering a couple times but they never changed my plan or anything. I have unlimited data plan.
[LG Thrill 4G] cproaudio:
I use APN manager and deleted the entitlement APN. Never got the text or mail from AT&T again.

Entitlement APN

I didn't see an APN labeled "Entitlement" after I downloaded and installed APN Manager, but I did have one called "Broadband" that when I edit, the last option, "APN Type" said entitle (or something to that effect). Is this what you were referring to?

You should have more thanks than this for this info. ( for the hidden menu thing) I did that and deleted my apparently for tether. Works even after several reflashes.

I recently attempted to upgrade to Galaxy S III. When I did, I was force to give up my old 3G SIM card. After unsuccessful upgrade to the S3, I was given a new SIM card. The new SIM card, as previously reported, was missing the ability to toggle between 2G and 3G using stock Froyo and Gingerbread. Frustrated, I was ready to buy old SIM card from ebay. I gave custom ROM a shot before buying a SIM card on ebay. I am happy to report that Thrill Seeker V3B4 allows toggling between 2G and 3G even with the new SIM card.

For reference, SIM card SKU#7123 allows toggling between 2G and 3G using stock ROMs It is compatible with HSPA+. The newest SIM card SKU#73057 does not allows toggling between 2G and 3G using stock ROMs. It is compatible with HSPA+ and LTE.
[LG Thrill 4G] Cab121:
What exactly did you delete to make this happen? Seems like the winning ticket if we can reproduce it,
[LG Thrill 4G] whodisname:
I deleted the tethering app. I used the hidden menu in to turn it on. It only works like that untilled you turn it off then you have to use the hidden menu option again but that didn't worry me. It takes all of 30 seconds to do it.
[LG Thrill 4G] jbs99999:
Turning off the Entitlement Check at boot automatically.

Here is how to turn off the entitlement check at boot all the time.

You will need the following:

* Rooted LG Phone - most of the following requirements you should have from rooting your phone

* Some knowledge of Unix/Linux/BSD as the terminal is used in this process

* LG usb drivers, adb, and a usb cable

* sqlite3 from superoneclick (just google it)

* Script Manager from the Play Store, the free one should work.

* I'll include a zip file with the sqlite3 and my shell script.

This process will modify you phone, I doubt you will brick a phone doing this, but I will not be responsible for any phone bricking, etc

Here are the steps:

* Download and uncompress the zip file attached to this post and save to a folder with adb.exe (or adb if your are using linux) in it.

* Making sure USB Debugging is turned on on your phone connect it to your computer.

* Run a cmd prompt (terminal in linux) and change to the directory you put the uncompressed files

* Type adb devices to make sure your phone is ready for this.

* Type adb shell to access the phone, run the following

$ su gain super user access

# mount lists mounted devices, we are interested in the /system mount. Write down the /dev/block/xxxxxxx device

# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/xxxxxxx /system (xxxxxxx is what you wrote down above)

# cd /data/data

# ls | busybox grep providers | busybox grep setting

look in the folders that appear for a folder databases and in it a settings.db file.

when you find it, you will need to write down the complete path /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db is mine.

# exit

$ exit

* Type adb push sqlite3 /sdcard/sqlite3 to upload the sqlite3 program.

* Edit the fix.tether.sh file changing the fixdb=/data/data/...... to point to what you wrote down above.

* Type adb push fix.tether.sh /sdcard/fix.tether.sh to upload the fix.tether.sh shell script.

* Type adb shell

$ su

# cd /system/bin

# dd if=/sdcard/sqlite3 of=/system/bin/sqlite3

# dd if=/sdcard/fix.tether.sh of=/system/bin/fix.tether.sh

# chmod 4755 sqlite3

# chmod 4755 fix.tether.sh

# exit

$ exit

* Now you can unplug you phone from your computer.

* On your phone run the Script Manager program.

* Select .. until you see the system folder

* Select system

* Select bin

* Select fix.tether.sh

* Select both Su and Boot and hit Save

* Select Exit

* Back out.

* Reboot your phone

* When your phone comes back up see if you can tether without an error.

This process should work on any phone you can do the SQLite Editor trick on. You will just need to know where the settings.db file is located. this trick also uses all free apps and programs. My shell script is GPL even though I didn't put anything in there.

[LG Thrill 4G] miketamm:
I have been using anycut on a unrooted LG Thrill for tethering and wifi hotspot for about year it worked perfect.

I just upgraded to ICS and now there is no entitlement check box under the connectivity Test. Has it been moved or is it time to look at another option.

Thanks

Well I gave it my best shot. I rooted the phone bought sqlite and edited the setting.db. The phone wouldn't boot so I set it back to factory default. Now the seeting.db is smaller and does not have the enttilement entry.
[LG Thrill 4G] miketamm:
ICS V30B Rooted AT&T Tethering

First things first. Make sure you have an up-to-date boot loader and a recent backup before proceeding. Don't do what I did. I forgot to do a backup. Needless to say it was a long weekend after a factory reset. These instructions are for a LG Thrill on the ATT network.

I paid for and downloaded SQLiteManager. I was unable to edit any databases. I keep getting Error 5 database locked. I've emailed the developer and reported the error but all I got was 2 generic responses for me to ensure I was rooted and nothing was running that would lock the database. So far no luck getting SQLiteManager to edit any databases under ICS without the Error 5.

I had to download aShell and aSQLiteManager. These two apps work together and copy the database to the sdcard for editing and then copies it back to it original location once you commit. Works great but it is very slow. Especially when clicking on a db file. My phone would take sometimes upwards of 15 seconds to load the database file. It took me several attempts to get a successful edit because I was too impatient. Everything is a single tap and wait....wait... Also make note: If the system updates the database that you are editing those system changes will be lost when your final edit is copied back to the orignal location. Remember I did advise you to do a recent backup before proceeding.

PreWork:

Recent backup.

Go to the app store and download aShell and aSQLiteManger. These are both free.

1. Open aShell, check the "root box", tap "file explorer" button and navigate to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases.

2. Tap on the settings.db. When tapping the settings.db you will get another popup. Select aSQL mime sqlite.

3. Then tap "Just Once" (this what I used) or I'm sure you can also select "always".

4. Next popup tap "Open database with aSQLiteManager.

5. Tap system then data button.

6. Use the PGDN button to find tether_entitlement_check_state. To edit the field tap "edit" at the beginning of the field. Change the value from 1 to 0.

7. Tap OK to save.

8. Use the back button till you get the message regarding the database has changed. Tap on "commit".

9. Keep backing out of the directories until you get to /data/data/.

10. Go into /com.android.providers.telephony/databases.

11. Tap on telephony.db. Select aSQL mime sqlite. Tap "always" or "just once".

12. Next popup tap "Open database with aSQLiteManager.

13. Tap carriers then data button.

14. The line that has ATT Broadband will need to be edited. Tap "edit". Scroll down till you see entitlement with a value of 1. Change the value to 0.

Note: These fields are long. Scroll to the left if you want to see the entitlement entry. I overlooked it the first time thru.

16. Change the current value from 1 to 0.

17. Click OK to save.

18. Use the back button till you get the message regarding the database has changed. Tap on "commit".

19. Keep backing out of the directories until you are completely out of the app.

20. Reboot you phone.
[LG Thrill 4G] pete3000:
Mike, some notes;

for step 1 make sure the ROOT box is checked before they click the FILE EXPLORER button

for step 6 hit PGDN 7 times to find tether_entitlement_check_state

After completing step 8 Then i get an error popping up. i will include the error image

what i notice is that the db doesnt change when i go back into step 1 to check it.

I continued anyway with the next setting change and got a similar error after step 18.

should i send this error to the ASQLITE guy?
[LG Thrill 4G] miketamm:
It probably wouldn't hurt to send the error to ASQLITE. I'm wondering if my reset to factory may have cleaned up the file system. That may be the only step I did that you didn't. I did get the null message when I was too quick on the buttons but it wasn't java related. I'll update the instructions with your additions.

I'm a noob so I won't be much help with the error past what I may find here on XDA or google. When you navigate to /data/data/.... and open SQLite does the path change during the edit step to /mnt/sdcard/.... ? You may be able to copy the edit file manually back to /data/data/...

Thanks
[LG Thrill 4G] jaiblue:
Couldn't find tether_entitlement_check_state

Thank you miketamm

I tried to find tether_entitlement_check_state in step 6, but I couldn't find it.

pete3000 says it is in the 7th page down, but my phone has only 6 pages.

I really need to use wifi tethering.
[LG Thrill 4G] miketamm:
I think I recall seeing the same thing at some point. Maybe after a factory reset. I think if you try to enable tethering it may add it to the table. There is also a possibility it not a required field if the other entry is changed. Keep us posted on your findings.
[LG Thrill 4G] senrog3:
ICS

does this work on the official ICS release?
[LG Thrill 4G] miketamm:
Has to be rooted. Otherwise, you won't have access to the sql tables.
[LG Thrill 4G] senrog3:
am rooted! do i follow the same procedure?
[LG Thrill 4G] miketamm:
yes...
[LG Thrill 4G] senrog3:
gonna try it out!currently bricked the phone! when i manage to unbrick it, will surely give it try
[LG Thrill 4G] senrog3:
hey i tried to enable mine but where can i find "Settings Storage " am on ICS
[LG Thrill 4G] cougargt:
Same here

I don't see the tethering line anywhere.
[LG Thrill 4G] miketamm:
I'm not sure what you are referring to.

---------- Post added at 09:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 PM ----------

It's entitlement not tethering.
[LG Thrill 4G] cougargt:
Ok....I don't see a line that reads "tether_entitlement_check_state" anywhere.
[LG Thrill 4G] senrog3:
OK when I use the sqlite editor, after collecting all data base, what should I look for?

Btw there is a way I found where I can access the hidden menu but under connectivity test I see the following (screen shot attached)
[LG Thrill 4G] senrog3:
was anyone successful on stock ICS?
[LG Thrill 4G] senrog3:
Option 2 has failed to work on ICS stock but for option 1,when I try to change value from 1 to 0,I get " update failed, database locked"
[LG Thrill 4G] wizrdeye:
Yes easy way to Hidden Menu was elsewhere in the forum it is 3845#*925# but no way to change what is needed in ICS. Every time I try SQLite I too get error 5 unable to unlock. Has there been a solution found for ICS? Really like to use this as hotspot, and I will never give up my 3D phone.
[LG Thrill 4G] pete3000:
can you try foxfi/pdanet+ and see if that enables it? there is a free trial version before you have to buy the full version. look for FOXFI (Sprint/AT&T) in the google play store. let me know if it works for you.
[LG Thrill 4G] wizrdeye:
Ok tried FoxFi, it was the only one that other devices could see, but nothing can ever connect, always just obtaining ID.

I do not see anyplace for setting for FoxFi. Any suggestions to get that working? Thank you very much for reply, it is greatly appreciated, and the closest I have been.
[LG Thrill 4G] pete3000:
i dont have my LG thrill anymore, but was following this thread. try contacting the foxfi guys. i use it on my samsung G S4 without root!
[LG Thrill 4G] miketamm:
Yes there was a solution. I no longer have my LG Thrill. SQLite was giving me the error as well. Sorry I don't remember the name of the app but I think it was posted somewhere here in this thread or maybe another one that talks about tethering. Basically you will be using 2 apps. One will make a copy of the SQL file to a temp location. The other will modify it and then copy it back to it original location. This worked with ICS with no problems.
[LG Thrill 4G] buzyt:
works

It amazing. IT works it works it works ! Tryed several rooms ( GB , ICS , Froyo ,custom roms etc) but none worked until this amazing simple setting.

You saved me !

Thank you man.

and what launcher are you all feeling as the default

Missing working gps and nfl app for me. Even with the fixes, gps is buggy for me.
[Thunderbolt General] xgonzox:
Sense camera. A calender that integrates with facebook. And working gps.
[Thunderbolt General] Morkai Almandragon:
Network Location and cotact management that does not suck. Managing groups, sharing VCard files etc should not require an app.

Oh same goes for quick dialing (IE you dial a name and it brings up your contacts)

Batti battery gauge (MIUI has this, it is a bar at the top of the screen). OMFGB has done this now too.
[Thunderbolt General] lrs421:
NFL, it's the reason I haven't run aosp in over a month.
[Thunderbolt General] joem333:
NFL Mobile; I am on the same boat...
[Thunderbolt General] fixxxer2008:
better camera app and louder incall volume.
[Thunderbolt General] Mustang302LX:
Just remove the AOSP Camera and replace it with the MIUI camera. It is much better.

Also I agree getting NFL Mobile to work would be awesome!
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
I hate to say it but if Verizon is going to charge for the NFL app ($10 a month) I have a feeling the need for it is going to decrease.

On the other hand I would pay you to get Network Location working. That is the only thing that keeps me from AOSP. There is just way too many things that need it. Also, I agree with above poster, might as well just replace Camera with MIUI camera. Much, much better.
[Thunderbolt General] lrs421:
Not to derail but the NFL app is free for 4g users.... Back on track :)
[Thunderbolt General] sithdroid2187:
It is missing all of the sense stuff that I love.
[Thunderbolt General] dajogejr:
A clock/weather widget that works like Sense (location changes as you do and does not have to be set.)

Better MMS (Bubble type/conversation)

Better Email client (I've tried all the others, I like something that integrates with the calendar and contacts better)

Sense 3.0 based devices all have this....which is why I keep coming back to it.

While I know there are apps/launchers that do some of this, the reason Sense is my choice is because it does all of this out of the box without apps.

I do like Launcher Pro's people widget and calendar widget set to agenda....that's the reason I bought it over sticking with ADW which I know DT likes!
[Thunderbolt General] DroidTh3ory:
Android Pro Widgets IMO kill the sense Widgets... they are sweet. I aftereffects, the Cam is lack luster... but I am working with the time I have to port the Sense Cam.
[Thunderbolt General] fixxxer2008:
if you can port the sense cam that would be kickass!
[Thunderbolt General] shaggy5991:
Thank you all for all the opinions I will try to cook as much of these in as I can for the initial release
[Thunderbolt General] OffcerClancy:
Reliable and accurate gps and geographic locations, and fewer bugs.
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
Awesome news! I truly didn't know and now have yet another reason to stay on sense!

Battery life.

I just deal with it. Cm7 1.5.2 had great battery life everything since 1.6 and the recent 1.7 is pretty bad for me. Like maybe 4 hours of usage. I can get about 18 hours a battery with absolutely no usage. I loose Bout 50% over night.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsass600:
So my droid incredible just had a hardware failure and im going to have to get it replaced for free but because they dont make it any more they are going to most likely give me a droid incredible 2. But i have a free upgrade and im asking should i stick to my texting keyboarded non-android phone until the nexus prime comes out or get the droid incredible 2 for free. If i get the droid incredible 2 then i have to wait until march or so for the upgrade to come back and get a new phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frostincredible:
The Inc 2 has some nice custom ROMs and has S-OFF and will most likely get an ICS port...so if you can deal with single core WVGA display, still a pretty nice phone, I might wait to see what comes out at CES 2012 in January.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithrewitontheground:
Wouldn't the incredible break be covered by warranty and therefore the droid incredible 2 would be free as a replacement and you would still get to keep your upgrade?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsass600:
Soooooo......
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsass600:
technically yea but my parents say that if I get the incredible 2 right now then the other upgrade goes to my sister and I have to wait for my real upgrade for my line in march or so.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DustinBooyah:
I say stick it out with the regular phone if you don't get to keep your upgrade. Gotta keep it fresh when it comes to smartphones, the tech moves fast and I figure if I were to buy a phone 5 or 6 months after it hits the shelf, then that's pretty much 1/4 of its (maybe) two year life already gone.

The Nexus will carry you farther and faster than a Dinc2 ever will... Whether we get it or not obviously remains to be seen, but it wont take a whole lot of patience to hold off till a leaked shot of future hotness shows up.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brando56894:
Prime, no question about it! Give me ICS!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
I'd say get the dInc2 now. That will easily hold you over for 6 months since it's a noticeably faster device in all ways, not to mention the screen is a LOT better. By the time your upgrade rolls around, you'll have had time for things to show up to market, be reviewed, and prove themselves. I my opinion, being the first clown on the Prime train is a good way to get laughed at when the magic and hype wears down to "Geeze... This thing is a battery sucking, quirky, unstable heap of crap." AMOLED screens are NOT as or more efficient than LCD in common use. Beyond that, 4.6 inches is WAY too big for a screen. Go hold a Thunderbolt. That's 4.3 and that's big. Just imagine the size difference between the dInc2 and the Tbolt... now add that difference to the Tbolt. I've got big hands and I know I wouldn't like it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pastalero:
I just got an insurance replacement and it was a dinc 1 sooo,what there saying on the phone isn't entirely true
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
That seems to be rare. Sorry about your luck.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zerocool79346:
Everything you just posted was opinion stated as fact. My AMOLED Inc is just as good as my LCD Inc was battery wise (18+ hours on the stock battery) and the screen is prettier in my opinion (see what I did there). Battery sucking is laughable at best coming from a Thunderbolt owner and really an HTC owner in general considering our beloved OEM is constantly outdone in that field by both Moto and Samsung when stock.

The Nexus Prime (if it even comes to Verizon which is questionable given who we're talking about) will be the best phone on the market and will, without a doubt, make the Inc 2 obsolete (as well as the Thunderbolt for that matter). Personally OP, I would wait and see if the Vigor or Prime show up and then, if they don't before the end of the year, pick up an Incredible on CL that way you don't use an upgrade. BTW, the Prime will likely be a $299 LTE device like the Bionic, not $199 if that makes a difference.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godsmacked4653:
This might be a little off topic, but i think the droid prime will just be a Verizon branded Nexus Prime. (because everybody knows how much big red likes their bloat.)

I don't doubt that we'll get it eventually. I'm more concerned about Verizon ruining a phone like that. :P
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spence341:
Inc2 and wait for upgrade. The way phones are changing, who knows what will be available then. I am waiting for the Vigor. As long as my Inc holds up, I am holding out!
