As the title says I'm having trouble setting up pdanet fullversion to work properly. I've been reading a lot the past 2 days since I got this phone on tethering with it. I have the grandfathered unlimited data plan which complicates this. Ive also read that verizon has done something so that tethering apps in the playstore wont work for unlimited data plans (guessing this is why i cant use pdanet)?
Anyone tethering successfully with unlimited data plan and this phone?
Do i have to root my phone and flash a custom ROM on it to be able to use PDAnet?
Please help.
Anyone?
I have done wireless tethering w my unlimited data plan
I have not tried pdanet or wired tethering
You can only tether if ur rooted using the app wireless tether
You cannot use the built in hot spot cuz verizon will say you need to buy the monthly service even if ur rooted
I am unlocked rooted and on ukb 1.21
Using wireless tether
Put your settings on generic ics/jb wlan0
And force wifi driver reloading

Hello folks,
I have a rooted Atrix 4G 2.3.6/4.5.141. Recently installed Nebtop 1.3 to get Webtop to work on my LCD TV. I got everything to work but freaked out when a message regarding tethering popped up (I do not have the dock nor tethering plan). My Wifi was turned off and I obviously could not connect to the internet since I do not have a tethering plan.
A couple of questions. I read something a while back about ATT forcing a tethering plan if they see that you placed the phone into the dock without subscribing to a tethering plan. Is this true? Is there any way they will force some kind of a tethering fee now that I hooked it up to the LCD TV?
-If I turn on Wifi, will I be able to browse the internet? If not, what will I need to enable this?
-Assuming I don't have Wifi, I will need a hack to enable tethering. Which method do you folks recommend?
Many thanks for all of the help and I apologize for any stupidity in advance .
Use WiFi and you won't need to worry about tethering. If you tether without a tethering plan there is always a chance they will catch you.
How will they find out that I'm tethering though if it was disabled right off the bat? Are you referring to hacking/excess data usage?
Is it true that if I use the built in Android browser and not Firefox, i will still be able to access the internet (without relying on Wifi)?

Hi everyone. I just got a Milestone 3 (Droid 3) from Alltel (the Alltel that was divested from the Verizon buyout), who is actually Atlantic Telecom Network. They are a great local carrier who has the best coverage in my area.
I rooted the phone, installed various wireless tether apps but whenever I use any of them, I instantly lose my 3G data connection along with a message that says "3G data link lost". Sometimes is comes back right after turning the hotspot off and other times I have to reboot. I am sure this is caused by a carrier setting because they want you to pay $20 more/month to enable tethering. Does anyone know anyway around this issue? It never happened with Verizon.
Thanks!
There is an app that avoid's detected called ClockworkMod Tether, it's worth a try.
It doesn't require root either if security is a concern

Thanks but....
I appreciate the help but ClockworkMod Tether is a USB tether solution, not a wireless hotspot. I have never had this happen before on other carriers.

I do not have a tethering plan and I know about creating a new APN with the epc, but when I go into my Mobile Hotspot to do the tethering to my iPad, it says Error under the words Mobile Hotspot after I turn it on (I can still connect to the Internet on my phone with this error message)
My iPad can see my phones tethering connection under the WiFi connection choices and my phone shows me as being a connected User under users. I just cannot actually get on the Internet on my ipad with the Mobile Hotspot tether. I can get in the Internet still on my phone using the new APN.
Am I doing something wrong or is there another work around or way to tether FREE to my iPad using my phones Internet?
(I also tried a third party app called FoxFi and same thing happens where my iPad sees it as a connection access point but I cannot actually get on the Internet at all)
(Also what is Bluetooth Tethering?)
TIA
okay i require some information in order to help you.. first question, what carrier are you using? and what type of data plan do you have? is your phone rooted (i'm assuming your using the amaze since your in the amaze Q&A section..? and if you are running a custom rom what rom are you running? or if your stock which app are you using for this wireless tethering ?
Has anyone been able to get WiFi tethering (without an AT&T plan) to work?
If so, did you root it and then use an app or did you have to install a custom rom?
I have tried FoxFi and that doesn't work, but have yet to root my phone.
I have the at&t tethering plan and it does work with no issues. I kept the plan from my iPhone 4s as at&t gives you 5gb with the android vs 4gb for the iProducts

I'm rooted and using "WiFi Tether for Root Users" without any issues.
Theres also a mod in the dev section for all att stock/unlocked users to enable native wifi hotspot, without the need of a 3rd party app. You'll need your bootloader unlocked and need a custom recovery though.
Stock rooted ME7 with grandfathered unlimited data. Portable WiFi Hotspot works fine for me but I was wondering if there is a way to USB tether? If my home internet goes down, I need a way to tether to my desktop that does not have WiFi.

If you go into settings > more networks > tethering. There is an option for usb tethering. I have never used it so I cant confirm if it works or not. There is also quite a few play store apps that can do it.

Those all work fine on an metered data plan. But for those of us still on unlimited, any USB tether option just brings up the VZW subscription message.
Bump.
Nobody on this forum has unlimited data and could benefit from tethering via USB rather than WiFi?

Foxfi states it can do it without the need of a tether plan and can do it via usb.

USB tether should work, it did for me on my Bionic. Had unlimited until I changed plans when I upgraded.

That program along with any other USB tether programs still uses the built in USB tether option and when you attempt to activate it, you get the error message that a subscription service is required. This is the same message that most WiFi tether apps give as well. Portable WiFi Hotspot is the only app that will still activate the WiFi hotspot if you just hit the home button after the error message. I am just looking for an equivalent for USB tethering.

Same problem on my s3. Can't believe I can't find a solution for allowing USB tethering. Google results fixate on the wifi tether, which works flawlessly for me. But when I try USB tether, that damn sub message laughs at me.
From the lack of responses here, I'm guessing that there is no way to USB tether w/unlimited data on stock rooted ME7 (aside from paying $30/month of course). I'm sure USB tethering is possible with custom ROMs but those aren't possible with ME7.
Just root and get cyanogenmod. It has a built in usb tether

Cannot get recovery on ME7 firmware and therefore cannot get custom ROMs (cyanogenmod).
