Im currently on superclean 2.8 voodoo eb16 with the dummy kernel. I had clicked on the vzw 3g mobile hotsoit app just seeing what it does and it said I could turn it on and it worked... so now does that mean I'm going to be charged for it? Cuz I turned it off right after realizing it worked. As I was unsure that it would actually let me do it since you have to sign up for the tethering plan separately through vzw website. Though I guest what I'm asking is since the app let me turn it on does that mean that it automatically signed me up for the tethering plan? Ima call Verizon Wireless tomorrow to see about it since it wasn't that I wanted to sign on. And since the Verizon framework was removed as far as I know from Adrynalynes change log notes I figured the app wouldn't work, and since it did-does that mean that I didn't get charged and will not get charged due to the dummy kernel module? :-/.
You shouldn't be charged for just turning the feature on with your phone. If you had connected a computer to it and tried to browse the web, a page would have come up asking you to sign up for the service. As long as you don't have it activated on your Verizon account, no real data was used, and you shouldn't be charged.
All of the Froyo kernels from Samsung look like they have something in them from Verizon that would find out if we are using tethering and circumventing their charges. The dummy tether module in the latest kernels, from what I've read, should help to prevent Verizon from finding out if we use other wireless tether apps/methods. It shouldn't have any impact on Verizon's Mobile Hotspot app.

Thanks a lot. Do you know if the new superclean 2.9 is compatible with the eb16 kernel with the dummy module from superclean 2.8?

It should be. Per the notes on the superclean thread, the reason ardynalyne changed to the EB01 kernel is because of stability issues with the EB16 kernel.
"--Moved backed to tried and true eb01 kernels. Sorry tetherers, the modded eb16 kernels were just way too unstable."
I know I've seen posts where people are having problems with mobile data dropping out frequently. If you are willing to put up with any issues that arise from using the EB16 kernel, go for it, it should still work fine with superclean 2.9.
I'm on SC2.9 with one of JT's Froyo kernels, both are a few months old now and I was wondering if I used the Wifi Tether app, would VZW be able to monitor? I recall at the time, no-one was certain if the JT's kernels with integrated Voodoo color/sound/lagfix had the dummy tether module or not.
I just picked up a Asus Transformer and wanted to take it on the road this weekend and wanted to know if I could tether to my Fascinate.
I am new at this. I got my thunderbolt a month ago and it already has the new firmware. So, was wondering from tomorrow onwards, can this phone be rooted to get free wifi/hotspot (plus the new firmware) or I have to pay $20 per month
as I will be on a road trip for like 15 days and need this to work properly.
any suggestions from gurus here would be great.
If you have the where with all to root it, the Synergy rom has the unlocked hotspot. Do not know about other roms because I am new to the Tbolt. I am coming from an Evo.
Yes all roms have the hotspot feature and you can get them after root. I use the hotspot feature on CM7 and its working great.
Oh so you guys are using the integrated hotspot feature and not the downloadable app from the market?
Since I can't post in the dev forum yet: I still have a TB with the day1 rom/radio/everything, and I refused all the updates so far. Are the instructions in the root thread still applicable to me?

Yep.

you'll need root to get free wireless tethering. If your ROM doesn't have it built in, there's always barnacle...
After seeing the above replies, does anyone know if the Das Bamf 3.0 RC4 has a built in mobile hotspot like mentioned in the synergy rom? Or do we have to use Wireless tether for root users/barnacle?

Wireless tether
sent from my BAMF'n thunderbolt.
Wireless tether works great on my rooted T-Bolt. I had stock rom Froyo until last night, now I have Gingerbread 2.3.4 and wifi tether is working great still. You can even download it from the market as long as you do it via wifi and turn off your radio.
Which version are you using and what settings are you using? Did you set it to a specific device profile?
I tried 2.07 and it connects, but dies after about 2 or 3 minutes.
I tried the 3.1beta and cannot get that to connect at all.
Any assistance you could provide is greatly appreciated.
try Inj3ctTh3ory rom wireless tether is cooked in the rom
I am currently running EH09 powerwashed with the stock kernel and was wondering if there was a way to remove hotspot monitoring? I know a couple of the custom kernels do that, but they cause more harm than good, making the phone very unstable for me.
Thanks!
Tried a several wifi tether options on my rooted captivate running froyo but none seem to work with my prime. what are other people using?
Your kernel also needs to support tethering. Mine sgs2 works like charms with my prime. Can you tether other devices to your phone? If now, flash another kernel
