just a trick to make max allowed connection from 1 to 8 on gsm/umts network mode
make sure you get 3g network as this doesn't work over 2g connections
just make network mode and select network to automatic
and open mobile hotspot setting>manage devices>device limit
you 'll probably get 8 devices selections

umm....its not a trick, its built-in, in the OS.
Here in the US, the carriers (Sprint for the Photon) control everything about their phones and tethering is one of the features that is locked. They (all) want money from customers and hence force customers to buy a tethering plan.
Fortunately for us, rooting solves the problem.
Not to mention that Airtel will be reporting your data usage to Sprint as an international partner with them. That's the only reason you're even allowed on the Airtel network - because you have an active Sprint account.
You will be billed for data usage and airtime, at international rates without an international plan or a prepaid sim, you better believe that.

I appreciate your knowledge.
plz note that motorola photon's new update included 3G UMTS hotspot functionality for a single Wi-Fi enabled device .
release notes: www.motorola.com/staticfiles/Suppor...RN_Blur_Version.45.3.6.MB855.Sprint.en.US.pdf
so I got it working from one device to 8 devices after switching network mode to automatic.

Please explain how you are getting this for free and how this applies to us? If not Sprint (who provides access and billing to these technologies *outside the US* using the "native" sim card), then who is your gsm/umts provider?

It will not work on Sprint network nor wherever sprint coverage is available as on switching network mode to automatic it will connect to sprint network.
I am using it in india on airtel gsm sim card and "airtelgprs.com" apn for internet connection.Mobile hotspot's data connection is using my airtel's apn which is deducted from my gprs plan.I am using over 3 devices connected from my photon for a month now.
I am able to do this only after updating it to the new ota update available aka 198_6. In the updates release note mobile hotspot over 3g for 1 device has been revealed.you will get device limit as 1 on swiching network mode to gsm/umts. but when u make the network mode to automatic you 'll get device limit as 8 while you are still on 3g gsm network.

So using Airtel in India is free? Or was your title suggesting a free tip to opening the max connections to 8?

Hey there
When Tethering or using the hotspot what security is there for your pc? I mean is there any firewalling at the phone?
Also, in general when connected via 3G etc what ports are exposed inbound to the phones IP address?
Thanks

Why don't you try driodwall to restrict applications.
It's free from the market but i think it requires root access.

To be honest I think you don't really need to worry much about it. Security should be at the PC level by using a reputable and up to date security program.
Also, although I have heard about security threats from apps etc, just using it for tethering is not effected by this I think, as you are just using the data.
Ever since my home 3g modem blew up 4 months ago I've been using my old S1 as the sole home wifi modem without issue.

Why did you not just use Google?????:

Thanks ntop and sxi200. I was thinking, if you tether then your usb port gets the data in, Im not sure if that can be firewalled, maybe it can. Droidwall, perfect thanks
As for why i didn't Google it, my data connection was woeful and googling was too painful. Got a new contract this afternoon which was why i asked. If you had to Google the answer yourself then why bother replying with sarcasm?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
P.s. I wasn't talking about public hotspots, even they have a firewall on their uplink. What i was asking was if using your sgs2 as a modem which has no firewall then what is to stop inbound connections especially when tethering via usb. Droidwall. Thanks

what are your thoughts about this phone?
is USSD code able to run? (for eg. can you check balance and activate packs by dialing *121#)
i read on forum that this is not supported by photon 4g ?
also check whether wi-fi hotspot works or not?
pls give your opinion and help me...pleeeease.
thanks in advance
@ prot0n84 : well actually i configured the APN settings it worked for few minutes but i keep getting error messages that a network problem occurred retry or cancel.
i am not able to use this continuously. Is der some defect in the cell or what?
@mustali : well the phone is great.

Don't know if this helps at all, but it is good to occasionally reset your PRL's according to where you live.
I don't know what is PRL n how to update it?

Hi all,
I am using a unlocked and rooted I9100 running cm9, with the Woolworth prepaid credit, which runs on the Optus network.
But Woolworth have made it so you can't use the 5gb of data you get for wifi hot spot ect,
My question is this:
I have pre ordered my nexus 7 a few weeks back, and it only has wifi, so I can't use mobile data with it. So I want to be able to use wifi hot spot from my phone to use Internet on my tablet, but my prepaid network doesn't support it.
But as I am rooted, is the anyway I can get to use wifi hot spot? Even tho the network doesn't want you to.
Cheers
Corey

Hello, so I have this idea for an app based around texting.
The basic jist of the app would allow a person with no signal or bars from there cellular service to use their wireless internet to send and recieve text messages. However, I want to do this where the user will be able to send and receive text messages using their own phone number. I would obviously have o run a service on a server to relay the text to the provider. I also, would like to allow non-rooted and non-jailbroken Iphone's to use the app.
If I were relate this app with another app I would say it would be similar to Apple's imessage. However, it will be used cross carrier.
Is this possible? What are the obstacles? Any suggestions?
Thank you
It won't work without a signal. Other than that, u shouldn't have a problem.

Thank you,
but, do you mean a cell signal or Wifi signal?
As long as u use cell or WiFi u will be OK. There just might be some delay through WiFi.
