I'm thinking about upgrading to this phone mainly because I have heard Verizon is offering free mobile hotspot for this device.
Does anybody know this to be true?

yes, if you get the shared plan hotspot is free, BUT data still applies

I have the family plan with unlimited data grandfathered in,for me.
Is that the same as shared plan?
Sent from my HTC Droid Incredible 2 using xda premium
No. If you have unlimited data you either have to pay for mobile hot spot or change your data plan to one of the new shared plans.
Or root your phone

At this point, yes - all smartphones (i.e., Android, Blackberry, WebOS, iPhone, and WP7, if they have any of those) on Verizon require the $30 unlimited plan. There is a rumor that Verizon will introduce capped plans this summer and remove the unlimited option, but that is still just a rumor.
You must get the 30 dollar plan unfortunately

I thought you could use the phone without any data, but when you renew, they make you get the data package.

You cannot activate a smartphone on Verizon without the unlimited data plan. Even if you have a contract already, once you try to activate the phone you will be required to add the data plan.
I suppose you could use the phone to dial 911...
So we all knew this day would come. Sprint is getting rid of unlimited data for mobile hotspot. Does that affect the hotspot hack that is built into the roms we use? Just wondering

Looking for a new phone and I can't switch from AT&T at the moment, so I want to know if I can use this on AT&T without being charged for data. Like is it non detectable as a smartphone for them.

If ATT works like they used to, you should be able to get away with using the DNA on their dumb phone data plan. Back in the unlimited days they had a $10/mo. plan that you could stick any unlocked phone onto and they wouldn't figure it out by the IMEI alone.
Are you looking to get a cheap data plan from ATT, or no data plan at all?

I'm not trying to find a free data plan, I want to use a smartphone on AT&T without being charged for data. They auto charge you if you use a smartphone. I just want to use one and not have data at all.

I wondered if this was what you were asking. You should be able to do it, call ATT to change the IMEI you're using and tell them it's an unlocked flip phone. Ask them to block data on the line so you won't get a per-MB charge, and you should be good to go. This is definitely the way it used to work; they may have changed things since then but I doubt it. You'll still be able to use Wi-Fi, of course.
Good luck, let us know how it goes.
thats weird...i was sure that all carriers had the all phones that were compatible with the service in the system. if it doesn't add it, thats pretty nice.... although, whats the point of walking around with a 5 inch phone that cant use the internet outside of wifi? hmm....

People used to think that years ago, but it certainly wasn't the case then. I used a number of different unlocked smartphones on ATT s dumbphone data plan.

My apologies, I guess I misinterpreted your question. As far as I remember from the old days, I was able to select a dumb phone on the website and then change my plan there. Although I did not take off data, I simply used it to get the dumbphone data. There was an option to take data off completely. Now I must say that this was done on T-Mobile's website back in the day (2007ish). I'm not sure if you can select a dumbphone on AT&T's website as your current phone and whether or not it will stick once your actual phone connects to their network. Something to try. It did work for me on T-Mobile back then.

Yea he doesn't want data at all. But having a smartphone you have to pay for data even if you don't use it. So basically why pay if you don't use it.

It comes GSM unlocked just change your apn settings.
You can Google the settings or use the app tweaker to change your settings. AT&T's 4G LTE is compatible with the droid DNA

It's not that I don't, or won't use data, because I'd use it all the time, it's just AT&T's prices are too high for the small amounts of data.

Tethering of any kind won't work unless you pay for the feature on an Individual or Family plan.
Tethering is included on the Mobile Share plan.

Tethering works perfectly for me on ARHD 10.2 (which is what I'm guessing you meant to type). Just go to settings, hit more,mobile network shareing, then go into portable wifi hotspot settings, name your hotspot and PW, then hit the checkbox. I had no problem.
Just curious, when you did your install with AROMA, did you hit AT&T, or international?

There is NO guide for ADHD 10.2 its an international rom which means there is NO AT&T stuff blocking use of tether, you must be doing something WAY wrong.

No.... Using the "phone" apn yes, at 5GB of usage I get throttled down to .047mbps down.
Then I just switch over to the wap.cingular APN and BAM pulling 6-10mbps down on H+/3G. No throttling here..
This thread is a bit confusing to me.
Are you guys saying AT&T charges extra for tethering?
ATT charges $$$ for a seperate data plan which lets you tether Internet, which is also limited to about 5gb or 3gb, not too sure. If you use tethering on a regular phone (stock rom with bloatware- fresh from the store), they would probably charge you for tethering because of the detection apk they put in there.
The way to bypass this is to use a custom rom, Internet tethering should work on it, maybe you could reflash/ reset the phone (all the settings and whatnot) maybe try a different rom?
Also, I diddnt know you could bypass ATT throttle, could you post all the complete APN settings to do that?
Cheers,
OK, please forgive me for being slow. You only save money if you're tethering from a phone with unlimited data plan, right? If you're on a limited plan, it doesn't matter and AT&T should not charge you extra, right?

If you go over the limit on a limited plan, they charge you extra $$$. I think it is $20 for 1 more GB.
If you are detected tethering on a stock ATT phone, they will probably charge you for tethering plan
If you are on unlimited data, you may lose it (plan) if you are detected tethering (stock phone),
if you go over limit 5GB for 4g LTE phone they will just throttle you.
Undetected tethering/ Custom ROM with removed att protection = only worry about going over the limit

I agree. The only thing Att or carriers look at is the amount of data being used periodically or the mac/ip address. Carriers have the ability to tell the difference from our phone using data or tethering, especially if data patterns changes.
