[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] statustray:
I 'think' this is only partially correct though. Please see the attached snapshot of the '4G Hotspot' option that shows up when I access 'Change Features' from within my unlimited data account.

If you are on a share everything plan, then yes VZW does not charge a separate fee. It does not matter which amount of data plan you have selected, as the 'tethering' is included.

Now on the flipside, if you are not on a share everything account, you will find that if you open your VZW account online, and go into 'change features', you will see that there is a $30 monthly fee for adding tethering aka "4g hotspot" to your account.

Likewise, if you are on a share everything account, I am fairly confident you will not see that as an option as it's included in your share everything plan. As even on the --> VZW ShareEverything <-- link, it shows the pluses of getting or switching to the 'share everything plan' which does state among other things:

== ==

Mobile Hotspot is included at no additional cost for capable smartphones and tablets. Turn your device into a personal mobile hotspot and share your connection and your plan's allowance with multiple WiFi-enabled devices.

== ==

But, it should be noted that we are not blocked from using external tethering apps, but if you elect to use "VZW's internal 'mobile hotspot" then you will be charged the $30 per month.

I can say though that the hotspot does indeed work from within Synergy's 1.7 rom. Your results may vary if on other ROMS.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
The hotspot in the main settings or the included wifi tether app in synergy? I've only used the app, afraid of trying the built in one for fear of being charged.

Also is there a difference in performance from the two?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Haven't seen anything on my bill yet. The software checks authorization at phone level but we are bypassing it. Still have to activate via call in or online account to direct access. Software only checks if activated. Never was able to get Google Wifi tether to work to check difference in performance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] statustray:
Hi there annonyingduck,

For me, in synergyrom, both the hotspot and the wi-fi tether work about the same. I haven't really seen any performance differences between the two- but I am only on 3G and not 4G. I do like how I can see the amount of data being used by wi-fi tether though. You do not see the amount of data directly in hotspot though. It is easier/faster to activate it with the hotspot. So, I would suggest that you try both and see which of the two you prefer.

I have been checking my bill/account online. And so far so good using the vzw hotspot. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
So if you have to sign up and enable it through vzw, what happens if I change rom's? The bypass would be gone correct?

Sent from my VZW GS3 running Synergy/Trinity/Dark Horse Rises
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
With bypass there is no signup. Only signup required is if you want to pay. So far wifi toggle has worked with Verizon, tmobile ICS/JB and ICS sprint hotspots. Not sure about latest JB Sprint. They hijacked the native Android tether in ICS/JB and put a lock on it. We just hijacked it back. lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
I'm missing something here. When I turn on the mobile hotspot, it prompts me to call and activate the service. Which tells me that billing is involved.

Sent from my VZW GS3 running Synergy/Trinity/Dark Horse Rises
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] elecga:
I just checked my usage and with 5 days left in my billing cycle I'm at a bit over 25GB. I'd say at least 7-8 GB was from using mobile hotspot, which I used to upload to dropbox since my upload on home line is only 1Mb. I haven't experienced any throttling or see any new charges on my bill but this is my first full month with this phone so I'll know for sure in a few days. I'm pretty sure all custom roms that have hotspot have a modified framework that makes it hard to see if the hotspot data usage is from tethering or regular data usage. At least that's how I remember it from a few years ago when I first started using it on a droid x.

Btw I'm on Beans Rom and of course I'm still on a unlimited data plan, my speeds haven't changed at all even during peak hours. I always average between 20-30 Mb up and down. I haven't used torrent or up/downloaded single files larger than a gig so maybe that's why I haven't been throttled yet.

Yep, you are missing something, If you're still on synergy try reflashing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] statustray:
Select "Hotspot" from the toggle switches that are linked to the notification bar. If you do that, you shouldn't receive a popup about activating service- at least I do not on mine. If I select 'Mobile Hotspot' from the apps area, then I do receive that popup to activate service. Try from the notification area and report back here.

*Edit - Oh and I forgot to mention that once you toggle it on from the notification area, that you should see "Hotspot activated - Click to Configure" in your notification drop down list, and then click that to and you should see it's now toggled on. Then in the "Connected device" area, it will say 'No devices'. It will also go on to tell you "How to connect from other devices" with complete instructions. And down at the bottom, you will see "Allowed device list" and "Configure" buttons.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Bam! That worked using notification toggle. Strange how the toggle in settings does not work. It is certainly a faster engage/link up than the wifi tether app. Thanks for clearing that up, awesome.... :):thumbup:

Last month was my second month in a row at 90-100gb usage mainly torrents. Not a peep from Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Lol. Yea the toggle is direct link to hotspot in framework. The app icon and authorization was added on top in framework.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
I have the app itself frozen, never even tried it. What's the reason the main menu toggle asks for registration, but the notification toggle does not?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
For the reason I stated above. The icon and authorization was added on top by the carrier. Toggle is straight link to the Android hotspot code. Hotspot is part of Android source code and not carrier app. It was added with ICS. On roms that have no toggle a toggle widget from the market works also.

So... I have an Acer tablet that is unreleased. there is no model number and i am trying to load a ROM so it works. It barely operates... Barely.. I can get in and access a few things, as if the OS was installed half way. I have attached some pics to display what is going on.

If i connect it to my laptop via USB my PC does not see the tablet, my PC doesn't even act like it saw anything period.

So i am trying to load via SD. No luck.

I have the file on the card titled update.zip. With all of the trying i do not even know what android firmware it is at this point.

When the SD card is in i hold the vol down key and power ( vol + key and poser causes it to power on and off very quickly and then do nothing.

there is a photo showing " loading firmware from your computer" when i do the vol down and power.

I'm almost of the belief nothing can be done... So the challenge is yours!

I just got my hands on a 500GB Archos 5IT. I know it's pretty legacy, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to be able to carry around all 300gb of music with me for simply wiping away a friend's debt.

Anywho, I've already become irritated with the constrictive hybrid Archos/AndrOS UI, and after searching for a couple hours every URL I've seen for a download of an AndrOS 2.2 or greater ROM has been long since dead.

Does anyone have a copy of a (slightly) more current ROM floating around that they would be kind enough to email me or upload? Assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Danke.

There is the most up-to-date stock firmware (donut 1.6):

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bee mcfly:
I was talking to someone who was fixing an Evo 4g LTE for a friend. They had issues getting it activated on sprint. I didn;t ask any questions just listened. Apparently you can't activate a sense phone on sprint without sense installed. But anyway, the person he was fixing it for said that it was just an evo 4g. The guy just said okay. It was more hassle to wipe the phone I was told than to just flash a rom. So the guy did some research, and flashed an OG Evo 4g Rom onto the Evo 4g LTE. He said know he just gets a black screen. After, he realized what happened he understands what went wrong, wrong ROM on the phone. ADB won't recognize it, it won't turn on, won't boot into recovery, NOTHING. He's looked through here,asked people, tried byhimself NOTHING. So the big question is, is he completely bricked? Is the phone completely done, or can it be fixed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bog3nator:
if the phone can load up into the bootloader then he is ok...if he presses the power button and absolutely nothing happens..then yes he is probably bricked..does the charging light come on when he plugs the phone in? and if he plugs it into a computer does it do anything or does it say qhsd_driver (or something like that)?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bee mcfly:
Absolutely nothing happens. We assumed it was bricked but this was just a last measure. So due to flashing an incorrect Rom the phone is done?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bog3nator:
Yea, I mean if nothing happens and the computer doesn't recognize it then it appears to be done. Sorry man. I dont understand why it won't even turn on though. I would assume it would and just boot loop or something

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peoples_flip:
Hi all,

I have a question. I was looking at gsmarena.com for the note 2's specs and noticed that the LTE version (N7105) has LTE for 700MHz and 2100MHz.

My question is will this work on the Rogers network here in Canada? (Toronto specifically)

From what I've been reading Rogers offers LTE on the 1700/2100 bands. Since the Note 2 (N7105) has the 2100MHz does it mean it'll work or will it need both 1700 AND 2100 to work?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peoples_flip:
Anyone?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper2005:
It will work with one band but you can expect weaker signal and may not work well inside buildings. Normally if both bands are available it will switch to whichever has the better signal. With only one band its unable to do that.

I would recommend waiting for the Rogers note2 if you really want LTE.
