Don't know why the mods haven't put an end to this, because neither of us will win, but I'm going to say it again.

I'm not defending anyone. If you want to call Verizon and tell them that you aren't going to pay for their service, go for it.

Yes, I read your link. I've seen it several several times. Its what everyone uses to explain why it's illegal for Verizon to charge for tethering. Guess what? It doesn't apply to unlimited plans. That's what we are talking about. Not the new everything plans. Those hotspots are free.

There's no reason for getting upset. As I sated, why are you so mad? Is it because of the situation, my words, or because you're getting something for free that you shouldn't be?

OK Mods, I'm done. I'll unsubscribe to this thread and move along.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] graymonkey44:
I'm not upset at all. The issue really comes down to morality. Is it immoral for us to use mobile hotspot for free on unlimited data? Is it wrong for Verizon to go against the rulings of the FCC? Even Verizon tried to lift the open access rules implemented by the FCC. At least Google tried to keep them honest.

Verizon is doing everything shady trick in the book to get users off unlimited data and almost got away with the network optimization last month. They're singling out unlimited data users.

I personally can't stand by and let them charge me $30 a month for tethering if there's other ways of getting it and it only pertains to unlimited data users.

And once that work around for WiFi tethering is available: you bet your sweet a** I'm using it.

Awesome news for many people! And fyi you can install Amazon apps right thru the Amazon shopping app now too which is pretty cool. Unless it's something connected to what I sideloaded to watch prime videos on my Nexus 7 2013.

Anyway to the unlimited debate, seriously? Why do we need to get enveloped in to that in this thread?

I have 2 unlimited lines. I don't get any extra discounts being in or out of contract. Just because someone has the money to pay an extra 720 per year doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.

I used to be very judgy to people who exploit unlimited. They try to stick it to the man and download a terabyte. I could care less. You're the minority.

We barely use 10gbs a month but a few times a year from a family emergency or traveling or work we will maybe hit 25-30. I like having 100mbps Internet at home. I opt to pay "extra" comcast because I use it more (although they kindly discount my bill $80 a month). Sure, if I didn't have comcast, I'd pay the 30 a month to verizon because I'd be using it more.

What we really need here is more transparency from Verizon. Facts. What are their long term plans with unlimited. What happens to people who use too much. How much negative effect does tethering have, etc.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] CoreyWillWhat:
Just to clarify, I tried to pay for the hotspot, I was told it was $20 a month. Money I was willing to part with to continue using the hotspot...then they told me I could only use 2gb a month over hotspot before getting cut off. I use around 50gb a month over hotspot. $20 extra a month for only 2gb...sorry that's bull. I'll find another way. Hoping that way will be root! Haha
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] geoff5093:
Most of us only tether on rare occasions, I for one tether maybe once or twice every couple months, so for me it's more of an emergency feature if I go someplace without WiFi access. I don't run my home internet off it.

Even to those that do, I can see why they find it okay. Verizon screws us, they make us pay full price for our phones. Going back to your contract point, we signed up for unlimited data and under the assumption we could buy cheap phones every 2 years, they changed that part of our plan, so we change our own agreement with them for tethering.

How did the optimization have anything to do with it? Sorry I'm on unlimited and was wondering what you mean..Only reason I'm still with vzw is because of unlimited.Their service here is horrible and let's not go down the throttling road...I pay them over 5grand a year...Been with them for eight years...When March comes I'm done ...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] graymonkey44:
The only people affected by the network optimization would have been users on unlimited data. Verizon set it up so anyone that went over 5GB of data in a month would be throttled for the rest of the month when the tower you were using was congested in order to give other users better speeds that were on tiered packages. Verizon singled out users on unlimited data yet again. Fortunately chairman of the FCC, Tom Wheeler stepped in and questioned it. The exact day Verizon was supposed to start it, they backed off and stated they would not follow through.

There is a work around for Wi-Fi tether though using FoxFi/PDANet. It requires a laptop though. When you use USB mode, connect it to your laptop and then when you right click the pdanet icon again there's an option that say "WI-FI share". Click on that and then it'll give you an option to set up a router name and password. I don't know if only certain laptops are capable of this, but I have a Dell 15R and it works just fine. At least then I can connect to my tablet and old s4 that way.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] bfromcali:
Per their contractual purchase agreement, as well as subsequent FCC rulings, Verizon was obligated to keep open and unrestricted the use of the PUBLIC airwaves it purchased -- this specifically and explicitly includes applications such as FoxFi (explicitly mentioned by the FCC). The "thieves" are Verizon; the cowardly and judgmental old prick who encourages airway robbery and then insults those who refuse to be robbed by the thieves is you.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Ally Android:
I paid for PDAnet+ so that I could turn my phone into a hot spot when traveling with my grandchildren. Allowing them to connect their tablets to my phone so they could play games or watch Netflix makes the ride that much easier for grandpa. Verizon blocked my ability to do this with the last update on my old phone and it does not work on the Turbo either. Sure, I can tether but not while driving with a half dozen screaming kids.

I am grandfathered in with the unlimited data plan and refuse to pay Verizon an additional $30 a month for a 2GB limit on data to use my phone as a hot spot. Unlimited data should be unlimited, period. Not unlimited unless we decide we want to milk you for more money by claiming the data you use via a hot spot is different than the data you use normally. Also, when I signed up for unlimited, there was not Hot Spot feature so I didn't agree that I would pay extra for it.

I have had to pay full price for my last two phones just to keep my unlimited plan. Yet, I am still paying the same monthly service fee that I paid when I was on a 2 Year Contract with a subsidized phone. The reason you can get a phone on a 2 Year Contract for a fraction of the cost is because they get the difference back from you on your monthly bill. Yet, they don't discount your monthly bill if you pay full price for the phone. I'm basically paying for the phone twice.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ccheww:
How do grandfathered unlimited plans work? Can't Verizon force you on to a new contract once your original 2 year contract expired? I wish I had unlimite

Sent from my XT1254
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] thaibruin:
You simply don't get a subsidized phone. As soon as you try to get a subsidized phone (and get on a new contract) they'll force you onto a tiered data plan. The only way for unlimited data plan users like me can get a "new" phone is to either pay full price, or purchase used ones on Craigslist or eBay.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kenbrownstone:
I've been off contract for 6 months and still have unlimited
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Ally Android:
I've been off contract since February. Once you go off contract, they consider you to be a month to month customer. The irony is that as a month to month customer, Verizon can change anything they like at the end of our current billing cycle. There is no contract to prevent them from doing it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] fury683:
I bought my Droid Razr Maxx on April 30th, 2012 on subsidy, which extended the contract on my line (family plan). I bought my Moto X 2013 on December 2nd, 2013 outright at full price directly from Motorola for Cyber Monday. I'm still on unlimited data. When I got the Moto X I went to the VZW store and asked for a manager and said I wanted to be absolutely sure that before any changes were made to my account that I would not lose unlimited data. If there was any chance that I would lose it, I did not want to proceed and would return the phone. He assured me it was OK and had no issues. Still on unlimited data now.

My Razr Maxx and Moto X had different SIM card sizes (Micro vs Nano), but now most phones have nano, so when I get a Nexus 6 I'll just pop in the SIM from my Moto X and be good.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ccheww:
So in other words. Verizon is actually being nice to its unlimited data customers? Also how on earth, and by any means, can I achieve unlimited data. I currently have 15gb and its just not quiet enough. I'm trying to substitute my wireless internet almost completely.

Sent from my XT1254
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Ally Android:
I'm not positive on the legal issues of how grandfather clauses work, but you could say they were being nice. If you don't currently don't have unlimited or you lost it, I do not know of anyway to get it. At least not with Verizon.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] CoreyWillWhat:
Pretty sure you can actually buy unlimited Verizon plans on eBay. They arent cheap though. Not sure exactly how it works but basically you assume their contract and phone number. I still have my unlimited. Great not having to worry about it. I use about 50gb a month
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ccheww:
Anyone want to sell me a grandfathered account? Haha. I think the most I would pay for an unlimited data line is about $1500. Considering it being an additional 50 dollars a month for me to add 5gb to my plan, 50x24 is about 1200, then the value of the excess of 5gb that I would use bumps it up to $1500 worth for me.

updates

Any new updates? I have not been on here in a while, but I have just recently found an incredible deal on a brand new factory sealed Droid Turbo, and I need to know whether or not I am going to be able to use it as a WiFi hotspot via FoxFi. I currently have my trusty Note 3 that I use as a WiFi hotspot via FoxFi every single day for multiple devices (about 170GB of data a month). I would love a new phone and since I have found such a sweet deal on the Turbo, I would like for that to be the new one, but if I will not be able to continue using FoxFi for a WiFi hotspot it is a deal breaker for me. :(
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] CoreyWillWhat:
Unfortunately there is no way to use Wi-Fi hotspot without a subscription check. Work arounds involve USB tethering.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] jonmike13:
That stinks. I guess I'll keep my note 3 for a while longer and upgrade to the note 4 eventually since foxfi hotspot is working with it.

Adding a hotspot to capped plans should be free, even if your plan is from before the FCC ruling. Only uncapped plans need to pay for hotspots.

If your on the Boeing Verizon discounted plan and your still grandfathered in the $20 unlimited data plan you then can still get new upgraded phones without

You MUST have The Boeing $20 unlimited data, NOT $23, NOT $25, only $20 and will be able to keep your unlimited.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitebait:
Hello, hope you can help me with this issue... I've done a search but not come up with anything exactly the same.

My OPO used to work with my Sony MEX-N5000BT head unit (A2DP and AVRCP 1.5 compatible). It would pair straight away, no issues whatsoever.

I never got track info showing on the head unit (maybe the stereo was falling back to AVRCP 1.0?), but it would successfully play music and allow me to skip through tracks using the buttons on the Sony.

The phone function worked fine. I'd select BT Phone on the head unit, it'd let me choose between Phonebook, Redial, Recent Calls etc and would populate all of those lists.

I don't drive every day but do upgrade nightlies most days. I think I first noticed the following issue after flashing 17/10/14 nightly, but it may have been earlier. I can't find earlier nightly changelogs, so I don't know what changed around that time.

Since then, the BT Audio function mostly works fine, although the connection as a whole seems a little less stable and seems to struggle to maintain a bluetooth connection.

The BT Phone side of things has basically stopped working though, despite the head unit indicating that the BT phone and BT media connections are available. If I select BT Phone and try to access my phonebook, redial or recent calls I get 'No Suprt' or 'No Device'. If I switch bluetooth off and on again, I occasionally get 'Listing' which would previously flash for a couple of seconds before showing me my full contacts list. Now it just shows listing forever. I have once managed to get it to show me the full contacts list, but I'm unable to select a contact to dial.

I have successfully received one call via BT since this issue became apparent, but BT seemed to drop after a couple of seconds and the call reverted to my phone.

I've attached a logcat of me attaching to the BT head unit, playing media, then trying to access phonebook to make a call.

If anyone's able to suggest what the issue might be I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks in advance!

[Security Discussion] bobo89:
I have a phone that I use for corporate purposes so there is a password requirement for each wakescreen.

This is obviously absurd, so I used Xposed module to "nuke" the password. The coorporate app still thinks there's a password and I've never lost my phone, so that's good.

However one shortcoming of this is, if on the off chance I do lose my phone, using Prey, or Android Device manager, I cannot "lock" the phone, because the xposed module takes it out.

I'd like to do the full encryption, still keep the password "nuked", but somehow be able to reactivate the lock, or at the very least shutdown the phone remotely in case I do lose it, when it comes back on the password will be active.

I could perhaps use tasker to accomplish this, but it's a bit tricky.

TlL;dr

Password Lock must think it's on, but not. (so corporate app doesn't boot me out)

Phone must be able to be remotely locked - or turned off.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lallasgr:
Hello all.

One year ago i had problem with my signal in my note 2 and i went to a service center and they update my note to Android 4.3 (N7100XXUEMJ9) and from that point, I can't receive any update for any firmware. I would like to update to 4.4.2 but i am afraid to void Knox Warranty if i do it with Odin. I am not sure which version should i choose? I bought the phone from Greece (Cosmote) and now i use it in London (Three). The service one year ago done in London Service Center.

My exactly model is:

GT-N7100

4.3

N7100XXUEMJ9 (Baseband Version)

3.0.31-213*** (Kernel version)

JSS15J.N7100XXUEMK9 (Build Number)

Can someone guide me how to update to 4.4.2 without having any problem with Knox and without destroy my note 2?? :p

Thanks a lot!!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erljayp:
Try checking for firmware update using kies. :)

Note that some variants of the note 2 still don't have the KK update. Try checking sammobile.com ^^
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceomaverick:
There is no reason to upgrade unless you are really tired of 4.3 or you are feeling a little mischievous.

Whatever the reason, I guess I should warn you beforehand. If something goes wrong, for instance, 'no network signal,' going back to 4.3 will not be possible (at least in its true form - you will be stuck with 4.4 bootloader forever).

Also, you suggest your phone is a year old. Understandably, you are out of warranty already. Knox shouldn't be a problem.

However, if you really care about Knox for some reason, then doing an OTA update or an update via Kies is your closest option.

Using ODIN will trip the Knox counter whether you flash stock 4.4 or modified 4.4.

About ROM, if you have international galaxy note 2 (GT-N7100 ) as you have clearly mentioned, you can flash any European Stock ROM. Best would be to choose the ROM from Greece or England.

Hope I have allayed all you fears.

Press thumps up if you found this suggestion helpful.

You can harass the Samsung folks in London. Ask them to troubleshoot your problem - just for kicks maybe.
