[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] link12245:
Its about technology capability. You can't fit 94million customers through the bandwidth the government allows AT&T. They can do one of two things, either put in restrictions on those that abuse the system, or have crap service like sprint. You are, by abusing your service (you signed a contract saying you would not tether, so you are at fault, not AT&T), causing others on the network to have worse speeds, and dropped calls, which is what at&t wants to avoid. You can try to justify it by saying that AT&T is making billions, but so are banks, and I don't think any of you have robbed a bank anytime recently. That's essentially what you are doing, your stealing from AT&T, which is not only morally wrong, but also illegal. Stop justifying your theft with with this crap, you are wrong.

You can keep unlimited, a new sim isn't necessary, and you cannot tether legally unless you switch to the 4gb with tethering plan.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
Depends where you buy it. If you buy it at an att store you are guaranteed to keep it, if it is a smartphone plan.

I am still using the SIM card that I used in my captivate. You will only need a new SIM card for an LTE phone. The SGS II 4G is HSPA+, and works fine with a 3G SIM card.

Technically a custom ROM will allow you to tether, but you do so at your own risk. If you are caught by att, and don't stop they will change you to a plan that "officially" supports tethering, and you will lose the unlimited plan.

Is it better to wait for a phone which has LTE in it ?

any ones coming out this or next month ?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Considering that LTE means a larger phone with worse battery life, and very few cities in the US have LTE deployed, no.

Actually it's the very first option in the Settings menu. Select "Browser" and it drops down a list of the available options (not the actual browser agents, but that's what it changes in the background)

Nice try, freedom fighter. You pay for an unlimited plan...the contract for which does *NOT* include tethering. It's an unlimited SMARTPHONE plan. Feel free to use that data on your smartphone as much as you want, but when you connect it to use that data with another device you are breaching the contract. They have every right to fine you through the roof, or even backcharge you for every month that they believe you tethered (and yes...every month *THEY* believe you did). They could say that anything over 5GB most likely included tethering, and there's nothing you'd be able to do about it.

Get off your ethical high-horse and come join the rest of the world, where contracts matter. If you're going to break the rules, you should be ready to face the consequences. Don't try to justify your actions here.

I hope there is truth to this article.

http://thisismynext.com/2011/10/12/...thickness-battery-life-advantages-lte-phones/

Similar articles quoting the same person popped up on other sites too. It makes sense if att can use a single radio for LTE and GSM, vs Verizon having to power and place two radios on the phone, LTE and CDMA.

But, like you say its kinda a moot point until they deploy it more places.

I cant believe that a forum that suppose to support one another does the opposite....Someone asked for help and it turned into an entire hijack and only about three replies had anything to do with helping with the original post....Wow....Hoped it was figured out...No one is bashing everyone else with rooting: why its your property to do what you please good/bad who cares...So, why would someone declare their laws your sounding a lot like the phone carriers..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MakAttak:
There is a very easy way to tether it. PAY FOR IT!

AT&T has every right to limit whatever they want to, and, if you don't like it, don't give them your business. If you do give them your business and decide to change the rules to fit yourself, expect them to be upset.. Hmm let me think, an AT&T lawyer calling me about a stupid $10 fee I refused to pay and used the service anyway? That is a text book definition of theft of service, and can land you in front of a county judge... But hey, it is your life, and your arrest record, so knock yourself out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kikex76:
I wouldn't have a problem paying for tethering only for times when I go out of town. But loosing my unlimited for an ocassional tethering is just not cool man!!!

They should be more flexible and add tethering options on top of our unlimited plan. At least, maybe like a week or 2 weeks plan.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nkd:
sign up for a tethering plan. Seriously, att will get you if you tether, one of my buddies got flagged recently and got a warning that he will lose his unlimited data if he tethers. Even though he took every precaution known to mankind, I don't know how they do it, but they do it as well. I have unlimited too, but I have decided not to tether.

---------- Post added at 05:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:31 AM ----------

Let me turn on the ligth switch for you. Rooting has nothing to do with tethering, do I really have to explain? common now. People root just for fun to customize their device to their liking, tethering is not a fricking phone you can customize, it is service that you are suppose to pay for.

Thanks to a select few that brag about tethering 50gb, att is cracking down. I don't blame them, they are pretty clear about it, if you wanna keep your unlimited data, don't Tether!

We are all here to help but rooting and tethering are two different things.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foxbat121:
If you can't tell the difference between rooting and tethering, you shouldn't post in this forum.

I, for one, will not bash anyone for tethering but I won't encourage anyone to do it either. Abuses like this is the sole reason why everyone else get screwed. First the end of unlimited data plan unless you are grandfathered in. Next all existing unlimited plan will no longer be grandfathered anymore if ppl like you continue to advocate and abuse the tethering. Once we are all moved to limited data plan, I'm pretty sure AT&T will let everyone tether without paying a tethering plan (because you already paid your data bucket). The only reason tethering plan even exists is due to the fact there are unlimited data plans.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] metalco:
Hi,

I am using Easy Teather (at android market) and it works great. I am only using it for the once in a while emergency on the road when I can't get online with my laptop any other way and my iPad or SGS2 won't do. Be CAREFUL if AT&T finds out (by checking your data pattern) they will throttle you or boot you or who knows what. There are people out there abusing the possiblity and jamming up networks for others. I believe it should be fair game for the occassional email check or what have you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] khaytsus:
Call me obtuse, but what's wrong with Settings->Wifi->Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot on the ATT SGS2? I glanced last night at my wife's new SGS2 (replaced her aging Aria Monday) and it looks like it's there.

If you go to use it, does it tattle on you with AT&T, or otherwise incur extra fees? Thinking it must, it everyone here is discussing this, but just want to be clear. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dlwoodjr:
The portable Wi-Fi you reference is how you can "legitimately" tether if you

pay

for the tethering service... That is not what all the hub bub is about...

It is those who try to circumvent controls to take advantage of something they are

NOT

paying for. I am not going to judge as I have previously used tethering when in a pickle on my Cappy, but I refuse to do it on my SGSII for fear of losing my Unlimited Data... It is up to the individual if the reward is worth the risk.

My added 2 cents is that those who abuse this should be caught, as I believe they are part of the reason AT&T no longer offers unlimited data plans... but we should all have the ability to add that service without fear of losing our unlimited plans... If they did, more people would pay for it than try to steal it... At&t is losing revenue possibilities this way.

Don
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] khaytsus:
Okay, so that answers my question... The Hotspot function in settings is tied directly to AT&T's Tethering plan. Meh AT&T, you guys are such douches sometimes. I pay for 2G of data, I'll use it any damn way I want. As for the folks with grandfathered unlimited data abusing it using 50G of data a month, yeah, they can go to hell too, they're the reason the other 99% of us have to deal with tyranny from the phone company about tethering.

It wouldn't be as bad if the option wasn't there at all and there was an app for it, at least that would not be sneaky.. But in this case it sounds like AT&T is tricking you into thinking you can use tethering 'for free'; ie: how I do on my Nexus One, but in reality it's tied directly to the AT&T "Tethering" feature which costs what, $20 a month or something absurd?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dlwoodjr:
I just checked... You're right there is no clear indicator that this requires a paid service to use in the menu settings... My Cappy said so loud and clear when you just entered that menu, at least on the stock ROMs...

I didn't actually enable it just now, but that sure does seem like ATT has omitted verbiage that would indicate they will charge you for doing it...

Don
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] khaytsus:
Wifes SGS2 just says what tethering does, says nothing about ATT's service.

Ah, tried to use it, says something like "Tethering is not set up for this AP". Gee, thanks AT&T.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pjfranke:
I apologize in advance if you've already heard the below from another poster...I'm a bit late to the thread, which I stumbled across looking for info on the GS2Skyrocket.

This seems to be the key...you had a 1) Nokia 2) phone they've never sold. They don't "know" it's a smartphone, so they don't flag it in their system. I don't think the lack of 3G capability had anything to do with it...but maybe...but probably not.

Heh...was the friend's phone an AT&T provided phone? Even if not, it was still an Android. Anything Android, iOS, Windows Mobile, or BlackBerry powered is a "smartphone", and needs a smartphone data plan (currently $15 or $25) per the CSRs/store reps I've spoken with. It seems as if Nokia phones (non WM7/8) are off the radar though...

Blackjack II is a WM phone (strike 1), that used to be sold by AT&T (strike 2), so they know exactly what phone it is by the IMEI. Um...no strike 3 in my example, but that's why that phone triggered the account switch. I didn't get a notice either, but I happened to check my online account before replying to a comment like this one a few weeks ago, and saw a line on my acct had been upgraded. More explaination below.

I agree with this sentiment. I don't go above 2GB, let alone 5GB, very often anymore. I think I used 8GB one month streaming video a LOT, just for ****s, but that's it. I signed up for AT&T and got an iPhone 3GS about a month after launch, and have had the unlimted plan since. I wanted to get a new phone last March, so changed to a family plan and got a Dell Streak on that line. I never even bothered to put the SIM there, but put my primary line SIM in instead. Called 611, changed the IMEI to an oooold Nokia phone, dropped the data plan required for smartphones from that line (as there was no longer a smartphone "officially" on it), and added a data block. I did end up putting the SIM in my old iPhone with data turned off, and had that around as a secondary phone for several months. Only recently did they "detect" it was an iPhone, and automatically added the $25/2GB data plan. I was able to call 611, give them the IMEI of the old Nokia again, and remove the data plan without issues.

This is the opposite of what's going on with you, but it's similar. I'm guessing you had a cheap unlimited data plan intended for what they now call "quick messaging" phones, and not the $30 unlimited data plan. Similar to me, as long as you have a feature/quickmessaging phone, or one they don't recognize the IMEI of (like your N900), you can keep your cheap plan. They seem to be a little quicker lately with the detection, and as soon as you've booted a smartphone with your SIM, it's flagged your account and changed your data plan.

If you want to use the S2, you'll need to have a $15/.2GB or $25/2GB data plan. If you want your unlimited data plan, you'll have to go back to your N900, or (like I was considering) get a more modern Nokia (aka: Symbian OS) phone. I can't say for sure they wouldn't flag the system as needing a data plan, but it's your best bet.

I use a battery monitor.

From what I've read, it will shut off for protection. I've heard that as long as it doesn't ever get too much above 130 F, you should be OK.

Now if it constantly stays high, there may be a problem. Mine stays around 80 F most of the time and the highest I've ever seen is 99 F but i don't game much or use my camera. One thing you don't wanna do is charge it while hd gaming or charge it in a hot car. My infuse reached 146 F one time doing that.

I notice when my phone gets hot in that area when it is around 30% remaining and I charge it. I also notice that when it is charging, it really isn't charging but battery is draining. When I got home and charged it at 30%, I left it sitting there for about 30 minutes and when I checked the phone again, it was at 25%. GPS and wifi was turned off. I decided to power down the phone and remove the battery for 5 minutes. I started working fine after that. I noticed it getting hot again today when I plugged it in to charge at 40% but this time it actually was charging. I am running stock rom but rooted. Should this be a concern?

If you are on Froyo all you have to do is flash the FROYO recovery image he provides (if you don't use that image you get a FOTA mismatch). Have the Honeycomb update.pkg on your external sd card, boot into stock recovery, choose option 2 to update and in about 7 or 8 minutes you will be in Honeycomb.

Once in Honeycomb, boot into fastboot and flash CWM recovery 4.0.1.9 for Honeycomb. He also posts the Superuser7.zip to root Honeycomb in the same thread. You flash that from Clockwork mod and BAM, you are running rooted Honeycomb, takes all of about 15 minutes...
