Dumb Question, anyone care to Answer? - Fascinate General

Hello, I recently rooted my Samsung Fascinate, and just wondering if I use verizon's "3G WIRELESS HOTSPOT" app will I be charge to use it after I rooted my phone?
I apologize If I posted my question in the wrong section, I have been googling an answer to my question with negative results.

Well rooting your phone doesn't provision 3g mobile hotspot to be free so if you have already signed up for the 3g mobile hot spot and are paying for it you will continue to pay for that service. If you didnt sign up and are not paying for it, no you will not have to start paying for it. Either way rooting has nothing to do with 3g mobile hotspot. However there is a thread on here dealing with using qpst to provision your phone to allow for free 3g mobile hotspot use. Hope this helps.

or download one of the wireless tether apps from market

there is that but if you would rather run in ap mode (which is entirely up to you) I would go with provisioning with qpst (works like a charm)

Did you actually do the hack to let you use the 3G wireless hotspot app for free? The monitoring module isn't responsible for that part of it, it was (believed to be) just for snooping.
What app are you trying to run?

I have wireless teather already and it does work. I'm trying to use the 3g mobile hotspot app. Friend has the vibrant and uses his free. It seems much faster than wireless teather.

Have you followed the steps here to let you use them for free? If not, then you can't use them without paying. You gotta give more information about what, if anything, you've tried.
Sorry about the lack of info. At work rite now. Thanks for the link, its just what I wad looking for.

Best atrix tethering solution

I'm rooted. I cannot figure out a decent tethering solution. The stock version will not let me tether even though I'm rooted running greyblur. I've tried the wifi tether app and it never connects. I'm currently using barnacle but it seems to run really slow. Always under 1.0 mbps while my atrix alone is at 2-3mbps. What is everyone's tethering solution like?

And you have switched the APN in the network settings to the "Tether" one?
PDANet (on marketplace) should work as wired tether regardless.
Use Barnacle tether... its better than adding the Tethering APN. Download it from somewhere and then sideload it.

I think he already was using that
I thought by switching the apn at&t will know and begin harrassing you and eventually charging (in that order)

As far as I know, the only thing AT&T can see is your data usage. They'll go after you if your data use is suspicious or something. You have to use the "Tether" APN in order to have the wireless tether feature on the phone work at all without a plan.
Try WiFi Tether. Works same as Barnacle. Download .apk and install.

If you have Limited Data then they can catch you easier. If you have unlimited its a little harder from what Ive hear. Plus using WiFi tether or Barnacle Tether is safer than using a new APN.

You don't need to change to tether APN to use Barnacle or WiFi Tether. Its not just data usage they see with using APN. This has already been discussed in another thread.

Nothing to do with data plan. They can see you are taking an extra "hop" so to speak when tethered using APN method. It can be faked out, but more trouble than its worth.

oooor you could just use Barnacle
In your APN settings, under the 'APN Type' heading it should read 'default'. Modify this to 'default,tether' without a space. Then turn wifi on. Wait a sex. Then turn on wireless hotspot/tether. Worked like a charm for me.

Care to share that article? I'd like to read it
Also, what I meant before was that you needed to change the APN in order to use the built-in tether feature, not a tether app ^^
I believe he is talking about TTL or Time to Live on packets. if your phone sends data back to AT&T it will always have the same TTL attached to the data packet, lets say 64 which means in 64 'hops' the packet will be discarded as undeliverable, if you tether to another device, the hop will be one less because it will go 64 from the computer/tablet/tethered device to the phone, reduce by one as its done one hop, then 63 from phone to the tower, if they AREN'T measuring tethers like this then they should, because its pretty productive.
all they have to do is check the data packets and watch as everything is 64 then suddenly 63's are coming through without a tethering plan. -caught them-

I've got an AT&T Atrix but am in Australia (hence not in AT&T network lol).
Is there a solution that doesn't involve root? I'm trying to keep a stock state until the big gingerbread OTA.

If your tethering in GB you will be monitored, so make sure your paying for the service. They have embedded software into GB system to monitor tethering. This was done by all Providers! This has been verified!
Thank you sir

Yes if you tether with gingerbread Verizon with show up at your house and kill you. It has been proven on a forum that it will happen so I read on the internet so it must be true...
Really, until you get something from Verizon saying they are tracking you and bla bla bull crap don't worry about the retards who keep beating the whole sky is falling tether crap. With noon more to go off of then that damn p3 article. NOTHING in that dumb ass post has been verified.
That said before you start Barnacle use titanium backup to freeze your notification bar and then it should work.
Also pdanet needs a usb to work (last time I checked) and the free version wont let you go to https sites (again it has been a while since I looked into this app so it may have changed)

Let me clarify something for everyone here. A contact of mine has looked into the issue. When you use the 3g hotspot, in the code, there is a value that is set to 0. It is believed that this is how they can track you. However NOBODY has lost service or had any adverse effects as of now. However, this is ONLY present if you use the stock 3g hotspot. As with anything, do it at your own risk, there almost certainly will NOT be a problem.

What is the name of the app to freeze?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I can most of the time using the TBH patcher and wifi heather. Its about how gingerbread handles/reports data sessions, meaning its different then froyo so it doesn't report teather apps as an internal data session, instead saying it is an external data sessions, thus redirecting to Verizon's weboage.
But if you can get teather running, there is no more or less risk than before on froyo, its the same possibilities.
Sent from my Xoom the way it should be, rooted and with SD card.

Cant find notification bar in in titanium backup ...
Im am on the rooted .588 GB and have the TBH patch installed and use the Hotspot app to tether. At first I could not get it to connect half the time and the other half when it did connect seemed to suffer DNS related issues or drop connection.
I ended up adding my MAC address in the native app for authorized connections and have had ZERO issues ever since.
Does anyone know is the TBH patche is out there somewhere still available for download? By the time I got a hold of it the whole Internet was going crazy over the tethering thing. I would like to be able to tether with GB. Don't wan a have to go back down to froyo.

Mobile hotspots a no go.

I have been trying to get mobile hotspot to work on 1.83 to much disappointment. I have it rooted, I tried gladenabler, and I have even installed gingerblur as last rom it removed the verification altogether.
This time it is just not going away. I have also selected =false using root explorer for that one value that was listed in a previous post.
I am not on att I'm in another country with no tethering restrictions.
Any help would make me very grateful.
Thanks in advance.

Can't edit from my phone but in an update to what I wrote earlier. Editing the build.prop file actually worked but required a reboot.
In retrospect I should have thought of that but it wasn't listed in the op.
So, if you are also getting this problem
Follow the directions on this post

Then REBOOT AFTER.

I actually have an employee plan so 40 for unlimited and tethering but if you add the apn u can also use barnicle wifi tether. U can't find it on the market (anymore/F-u too att) you'll have to Google but it is better than using my included option in network settings. I have also used the open one on code.Google.com and has been great. I love my atrix and webtop and lapdock but if I had a chance at getting it all on tmo or sprint, I'd jump ship. Making Google hide apps from it's own users? Wtf? If I were sprint I'd be praying att buys tmo because everyone would run to sprint. If I didn't have said plan, I'm not sure I could take the abuse they give their high paying customers.

[Q] How to remove Verizon 3G Mobile Hotspot

I've seen a little about this - but couldn't find the answer.
Sorry if I'm repeating on someone else's thread.
I've got a Rooted (EC07) Continuum right now & just came from a Droid 1 (which I loved).
I can't find a way to remove the 3G Mobile Hotspot app from Verizon.
On my D1, I previously used Wireless Tether 2 & it was so awesome.
No when I open up the 3G otspot, it takes the device that is hooking up to my hotspot to a Verizon web page that requests a subscription.
I just want to use it free again, like on my D1.
Any suggestions on how I could do this?
I have already tried downloading other Wireless Teher apps apps & none of them seems to work properly.
Thanks.
I suppose you could remove the app with an explorer or Titanium Backup. I doubt it would get rid of it in the settings menu. I use open garden, and it works fine (assuming you aren't trying to connect with something that can't use ad-hoc)

Why not you guys check out wireless tether beta 7 or whatever they are onto now, and go to settings, and set it as a fascinate xD then you can actually use it as a regular network, not adhoc xP
Also, I think 3g hotspot is a part of settings.apk if I remember correctly xP so you can't really get rid of it :l

The app is built into the framework of the ROM I believe, or is tied into another piece of the ROM that can't be removed. The only way to really "remove" it is to use a launcher that allows you to hide app icons and just remove it from view.

Thanks guys.
I appreciate the info. Just got wifi tether 6.
Also you can "freeze" 3g hotspot, and anything else that's annoying you, using "Bloat Freezer", found in the market for $1.99. Or with Titanium Backup Pro (paid version) which is worth its weight in gold anyway.
that literaly does nothing except prevent the app from running and the app dosnt run in the background when your not using it. the bloat freezer is ment for apps using gps and updating weather that drains your battery.
