It is the 16th, does anyone know if this is still working? I just got my plan at the beginning of december and did not realize this. I would like to try.

EDIT:

I called today, first call the person stated that there was no longer any unlimited options since june\july. And wouldnt bend. So I waited about 30 minutes or so and called back and got another person who was able to get the 4G Hotspot added to my account which added the unlimited data. Here's what I said. I told her that I knew a friend thay the day before went to add the 4g hotspot feature. And the vzw rep told them that when they enabled the hostspot, that the ability to add unlimited data was present. And thats the only time they had seen the option. So sure enough my rep said she could not find anything with an unlimited option, so she tried adding the 4g hotspot and viola there was an option for unlimited data. And she said that the system would not allowe here to add it unless the line was converted to an unlimited plan. So I asked her if it would allow her to convert it and she said "well lets see if it does' and bingo it did. Her words was 'well thats pretty cool. you got an unlimited plan now. Don't worry I wont tell anyone.'

Before I added this, I had the 4GB data plan which was originally 2gb but I added my line at the beginning of december and hot the double data promotion. So I was paying $30 for 4gb of data. She said I saved $0.01 cent on my data plan and she laughed "What a deal for 4gb to Unlimited". THe only difference in my plan was the extra $30 beyond that for the hotspot feature. So my bill is only $30 more than before. I confirmed online and in the data widget that I have unlimited data.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] brainwash1:
Worked for me today. She said the hotspot was 'tiered at 2GB', but switched my data to unlimited. Awesome.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] blocatan:
I love how the post 2 up shares their phone numbers with everyone. Good thing everyone is honest around here.

I added another line and can confirm this still working as of yesterday. I am now using my bionic full time as a spare phone line / fun experimental toy / hot spot. It did take a while to find a rep that would do it, and she would only do it when I said I still see it as an option online but it said I have to call to add it (all true) then she went digging some more and got it added.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] press35150:
Gonna try this tomorrow and see the results

The more and more I think about it, I don't like Gizmodo anymore. This confirms it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] press35150:
Just tried it and as advertised UNLIMITEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Dataaaaa..thanks. The first time i called the woman said she could only add 2GB and that i had to be grandfathered to get the unlimited plan, i told her thanks but no thanks and hung up. I called two minutes later got another rep and honestly i wasn't on the phone more than a minute and i had unlimited data. I think i'll keep the MHS like 4-5 days before i deactivate it
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lyang238:
Confirmed that this works with a 3g phone as well. You have to ask for 3g as a hotspot (2gb feature @ $20). The rep will most likely say you have to be added to the unlimited data plan for that and add the plan.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mustangmanv6:
Anyone tried this recently?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] toy4x4xda:
I may give this a shot. Wish I had seen this back in Nov or Dec. One question though, I have the 2GB data plan for 30 right now and I don't have the hotspot activated because that was extra... If I add the 4g unlimited hotspot package, then take the hotspot back off I will still be paying just 30 for the data plan but it will be unlimited data?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] sciman111:
Toy4X4

Let us know how it goes.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cbrown245:
I didn't even have to go through all this to get unlimited data. I called and complained that I couldn't download pics via wifi, but I was paying for unlimited picture messaging. Honestly I thought it was something wrong with the phone, I was put on hold and when the rep came back I had unlimited data and a $15 credit.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] toy4x4xda:
Well first call I got the spiel about we stopped the unlimited data plans a while back... However I got a generous rep who offered to let me in on the current promotional "double your data package" So instead of my 2GB for 30 I am in for 4GB for 30 now. I will keep calling though and see if I can get the unlimited package.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] raymond4:
Has anyone tried this recently
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dcmcc99:
Just tried today and they said unless you already have unlimited data, they cannot add the unlimited hotpot. So, if you're on a tiered plan and you have never had unlimited with Verizon, then I think you're out of luck. But, if anyone else gets it to work please PM me because I would love unlimited.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] spiderjerusalem:
anyone lose the unlimited or just me? I couldnt understand why It was gone when my wife texted me she was over on data that was unlimited, turns out it has been off our account since I changed my minutes a couple weeks ago not sure if the computer took it off or a csr, I am arguing to get mine back but just wanted to warn you all to keep an eye on your data and make sure after plan changes its still there.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] sivsiv:
Yea i got the same thing. If you had unlimited before july 7th then you qualify for the unlimited hotspot. If this isn't the case, you're SOL.

I tried twice with two diff reps, same thing each time.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] spiderjerusalem:
Thanks for the reply going to argue getting out of my contract now... Maybe it will work maybe not but I got it during my 14 day return perioid and was told it should be safe.

I installed a rom for locked bootloader with doom kernel, but now my phone doesen't see my network anymore -please insert sin card and restart. AAA.. before that i used SEUD and installed the default room - my phone was capable to see the available networks but it keeps told me - please insert sim card and restart. Now i have the MUI rom with doom kernel (both for looked bootloader - the version with the xrecovery installer), and my phone doesn't see the networks anymore.

Could you help me pls!

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afshin_ms:
Guys,

You have some mistakes:

First unlocking bootloader that somewhere harm your device.

Second flashing another kernel instead of recommended one.

Third you don't pay attention enough to installing rom's procedures.

It is important to use the specific kernels that rom maker tells us.

Good luck all..
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AmwJuJo:
I used SEUS and put the stock rom ... the phone still not recognize my card, but it can see the available networks. I have one question. If i use SEUS when i install the rom it install the specific kernel or the phone keep the one that i installed?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afshin_ms:
It installs the specific kernel of stock rom..
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AmwJuJo:
Ok. Somehow i fixed my problem. That's what i've done:

I used SEUS and i installed the stock rom. Then I installed flashtool (try to do a fresh install of flashtool if you allready have it installed) i installed the busybox and then i used the bootloader unlock from plugins menu. After i unlocked my bootloader the phoen saw my network immediatley. I supose that everyone else that have this problem have the bootloader locked or they tried to unlock the bootloader and didn's succeed.

I hope this will help someone. GoodLuck!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] sangiro:
Currently running HTC Desire HD with Leedroid ROM on it rooted obviously.

I have to choice in between the HTC Flyer Rooted and an IPAD 2 which one would you go choose and why?

Can only choose between the two of them unfortunately !

I see also that it seems that you can hack the 3G on Flyer to make normal cellular calls?

I cannot seem to find something similar for IPAD 2?

How is the fact that HTC Flyer is not running on a TAB version of Android OS had a negative effect if any for you?

Thanks
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
Hard to say. My instinct is anything android over apple but on a pure monetary bassis if price to you is the same then the iPad 2 is a bigger bargain, although I would just sell it and buy an android tab
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Irishpride:
I actually have both a rooted HTC Flyer running the latest HC leak and a jailbroken iPad. Overall the iPad is the best tablet on the market, I personally love the size and it feels great in hand, but the real reason it is the best is because of the user experience. I know most on this site lean more towards Android devices(even if they are inferior), but don't let that sway you, the iPad is an amazing device and the way the apps work on it, you will never see that on any current Android tablets.

That is not to say that the Flyer is not a very good tablet, I really like it, it is solidly built, although a little on the heavy side, has a nice screen and doesn't have too much lag. If your looking for a less expensive and smaller tab, I would say the Flyer is a very good option, but if you have the opportunity to get either the Flyer or iPad2, in my opinion, it's not even close.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
Ios is as boring a user experienceas possible. I have an iPhone through work and my flyer. I would take android everytime. I am bored with ios about 1 day after every software update
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Horses for courses, both good devices but with different usage patterns one can be better or worse than the other. The flyer works better for me, sold the ipad because it didn't meet my needs and don't regret it at all, I know of others who have done the same and the reverse.

You really have to try them to know which is better for you, simple as that.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Metaphysical:
ICS...

Well, the Flyer is due to receive an official HTC Ice Cream Sandwich update so you won't always be stuck on Froyo/Gingerbread

When you installed did you need to back up apps? Thats another reason I havent upgraded. I read the way themes were installed changed and locations changed. I dont want to lose my Jorte theming or my MIUI theming that Ive done.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suprafreak1000:
Well, first off. You can always just make a nandroid of ur 1.9 rom, and just try 1.11.18. Anything you don't like and you can go right back. I always do a fresh install, and re-dl my apps manually from the market every friday. Just easier for me.

Titanium backup, or the miui app backup should work if you decide to do a fresh install.

Location of themes? Still in sdcard/miui/themes, still mtz's. They changed a way the file compresses a while back. But that doesn't hurt anything, or change.

I'm at like 160 mtz's on my sd card i've been gathering since march, none have ever gotten messed up or lost. Same with wallpapers I've collected from the theme manager.

Read the OP of the extended settings mod thread here. It's not just a flashable zip any more, there is the zip but you also need the apk, it should explain everything. I'd select the no-overscroll mod, last time I tried overscroll there were network issues (basically no service). I'm still on 11.11 but the no-overscroll works perfectly for me.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitedragon551:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Not sure what to tell you, I just updated to 11.18 to see if it works and it's fine for me. You have to reboot or reset your status bar by changing themes in the theme manager for the right/center/switched layouts to take effect.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] leekb:
I think the Note is a great device. I just could not fathom what the designers were thinking when they built the stock Music Player. It plays album tracks in alphabetical order, as opposed to the common track number order. I did not see any option in the UI to make it behave properly.:confused:

I am certain my MP3 with ID3 tags are fine. Because they played fine on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the Galaxy S II. My workaround to this quirky behavior of the stock music player... use an alternate Music Player from the Market.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] abirsharda:
same problem

Yup...mine has the same issue...all songs in all the albums are arranged alphabetically.

And there is no option of changing it. This is my first android and did'nt expect these kinda bugs.

Even my last phone, N8, had songs arranged by track number. Its really frustrating.

Anyone got a fix or do we have to wait for an update from samsung.

Btw another thing i noticed was that while viewing the music list while playing the music in the background, the bar at the bottom displays "song name _ artist". Should'nt it be a '-' instead of a '_'.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Prozac69:
I noticed the same issue with the stock music player and also couldn't find a work around. I have therefore now started using Winamp which does thankfully play them in track order.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] abirsharda:
So there's no other option but to use another music player.

And wait for samsung to fix this.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] foxmeister:
Slightly off topic, but this is one of the advantages of Android over iOS - if you don't like the stock application, you can simply use another!

I don't think I've used the stock music player for any Android device I own.

Dave
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] abirsharda:
Lol..ya dude...another way to look at it...

And which player do you suggest?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] _pigro_:
I went for "cubed" (or "3") from the market, mainly 'cos it looks really good - but it sounds good too once you tweak the EQ a bit (though I have found that it has a tendancy to lock up the player if you mess with the EQ settings too much on the graphical interface).

EDIT - I also found it to do a good job of sorting out the somewhat patchy album art I had on the 30GB library I'd copied over form my old N900 to my Note (once I discovered that to do this you hold and drag on the album to get to the art selection/download functionality). It doesn't have an auto mode to process all albums but the per-album manual method was quick & painless for those albums that required it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] abirsharda:
Well the real problem that i saw after using the note is that in Artists view...the songs are arranged by track number...while in album view..they are arranged alphabetically....

The thing i wanna know is does 2.3.6 fix this or not...

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Souai:

i just use poweramp. much more customisable.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Braxos:
Power amp was using to much the CPU 35-50% so installed and did go back to stock player and his 5-12% CPU usage.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bobanovicz:
The stock player sorts the track according the track numbers in the artist view.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] abirsharda:
Ya i know it does that in artist view...it would not be a problem if some albums had different artists...then we have to open album view and listen alphabetically which sucks...and as Braxos pointed out power amp is using too much cpu for playing music...i just did'nt expect these kinda bugs when we're buying expensive smartphones...
