My only complaint with 3.1 is

I now cannot put my XOOM down!
Seriously, that and I only have data through verizon. (No internet connection at home, wifi at work but no chance to use) so I've been burning through data like crazy.

Hotspot Without Root?

Any idea if this would work on the M? The only real reason I want root is to tether...

I have 5 people with smart phones so I went with the new family plan which includes Mobile Hotspot. Call verizon to see if you will be charged if you use it. The ads for the phone from verizon said 8 devices can connect with 4G and 5 devices with 3G. I think the carriers are beginning to realize that charging for tethering from a phone is a battle that they aren't going to win.

I have 3 smart phones and 2 regular phones and a tablet. 2 phones have unlimited data. I have a discount and I am only paying $20/month for the unlimited data per phone. I use 6+MB each month and the others barely use 2 combined.
I have asked VZW to review my account and the share everything plan will actually cost me money because of my discounts.

You don't have to root to thether. Verizon's hotspot app will work fine. I asked the guys in the store and a co- workers s3 worked just fine with hotspot.

There's also clockwork mod tether in the play store- no root needed. You have to pay for the app but it supports a great dev.

I am not looking to give VZW any more scratch than they are already getting.

Does this work on the M and without the account being provisioned for tether?

You can use the app "wifi hotspot and USB tether" by svtp. Go to settings and change the device profile to samsung Ics. After 2 days you have to pay for the app but it works with no root on the Razr M

Tethering T-Mobile

There is a tethering method that work with AT&T but I don't know how to bypass restricted T-Mobile hotspot tethering since its blocked. Any roms or ideas. Thanks

I can confirm that the Att method doesn't work with the t-mobile version. There's no tether_entitlement to change to 0 in the sqlite database. I can't wait for this to be figured out for us T-mo folks!

If you are trying to tether a PC and have purchased FoxFi you can use PDANet+ to USB tether. I know it's not wireless, but T-Mobile gives 2.5GB of free tether on the unlimited data plan and when I go over hot-spot data I just USB tether just fine.

Thanks for that info but I'd really like to find a more low-level solution if possible. :fingers-crossed: I'll keep it in mind if nothing pans out in foreseeable future.

Standard tethering with unlimited data

Will I be charged if I turn on tethering without downloading any app? I don't have tethering included on my plan.

Shouldn't be. I'm on lp and have no issues. No app needed. Hooked right up.

It works without issue, since you got the device from Motorola and not Verizon, no edit to block the service.

I'm just unsure since I don't have tethering on my plan if it will charge me.

Definitely not or I would have had a huge bill past couple months. Use about 50 gig a month. 10 of that tether to multiple kids tablets and wife phone.

Free Hotspot

Any suggestions on the free hotspot yet? I would pay for it but only 2 gig a month?! What a joke! I'm assuming still need root for it too. I have Sprint

Does WiFi tether still work? Try that
