I Phone 3.5
I left Verizon and iPhone for this marvelous phone. Also there was a big progress from iPhone 3 to 4, compared to that, 4S seems like regressed version , so I would call it I phone 3.5 and when the I Phone 5 comes I am not getting that either, I made a mistake of going from Android to iPhone...never again.
Why would anyone switch from this to an iPhone?...

No way. Never had an iphone and probably never will. Trying to talk my wife out if it though.

Nope, this phone is perfect for me, I have no desire for anything different... esp the iPhone.
IPhone isn't even a remote possibility based on the size of the screen alone. Itunes is another dealbreaker. Having to jailbreak it just to do half the things I can do on Android without rooting pushes the iPhone option into the furthest reaches of the galaxy.
I'd rather be run over by two chimpanzees in a hot rod than touch an iPhone again.

Nope. My Olivia Wilde wallpaper will probably look like trash on an iPhone.
Plus, I just found out that auto brightness is stupid and wastes a lot of battery...And I also found out that 50% brightness is all you need to be able to see the screen outside.
Nope..
I just don't like the way Apple doing business. No i-anything in my household.
Android already has app drawer... No need for an iphone.
I would if it wasn't so locked down
Hate them but their stuff lasts

I have been using FoxFi and I love it. The latest Sprint ICS update seams to be blocking FoxFi. I know FoxFi is working on this problem but I was wondering if there is another solution without root until they fix it? I have tried the bluetooth version and the other bluetooth apps with no success. Has anyone had success with any other apps or ways? Or will I just have to wait for FoxFi to find a solution and come out with updated version?
Thanks in advance
Also I do not think pdanet is working but im not 100 percent sure.

when does your billing cycle end? and also how many gigabytes have you used so far during this billing cycle?
On my billing cycle I had like 50g used. LoL. No extra charge. I don't think this update is just on my phone because there are several people having this update. Why you think this is just for me?

I am going to take a stab and suggest Sprint is not happy with that kind of usage and finally plugged a hole.
I have been reading though forums that everyone is getting this update and its even on FoxFi website that its a Google update on ICS on not specifically a Sprint update. FoxFi is coming out with a counter update.
I was just wondering if anyone else has had luck with finding another way to have wifi hot spot without root. Until FoxFi comes out with an update.

When you say 50g do you mean 50gb on sprints network? If so I applaud you good sir. Sprints network in my area makes it hard for me to use 2 gigs.
Yes! 50gb. I just download and leave it lol. Also set up hot spot when I'm mobile.
Does no one know of a killer working app for non rooted users?

Just curious, doesn't your phone heat up a lot when using it as a WiFi hotspot? I haven't used my phone as a hotspot since my Hero, hence my username, but it used to heat up fast.

Thanks!

Yea It requires root.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Root doesn't cause u to lose your insurance coverage. Only warranty. At least with Verizon. I just switched to tmobile but on Verizon I have sent many phones into insurance because of cracked screens and other things that were rommed and rooted and had no problems. That's what insurance is for. They don't care what u did to your phone
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Why not set your phone back to stock for warranty..
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I can't claim personal experience with the rooting process, nor with claiming insurance. I do have a lot of past experience with loading custom roms and radios on Windows Mobile, and while I hadn't heard many horror stories of warranty/insurance being denied due to such, most everyone did their best to return to stock when sending in their phones for such claims because running HSPL/custom ROMs was a contractual no-no and something support would often ask about.
Because I cannot afford another phone, much less a SGS3, and my previous phones are completely obsolete*, I dare not tempt myself with anything that has the least chance of bricking my S3. SVTP is looking like a relative bargain for when I eventually require a hotspot. (*Before anyone mentions it, yes, I do know that the HD2 runs ICS just fine. Probably JB by now too. I just haven't been impressed by the Android builds for it.)
my phone is not rooted. do i need to be? i seen people do it without rooting.

David- You could pay for a tethering plan from Tmobile, then you won't need root.

I would get the truly unlimited but can't afford it right now. As for the whole throttling, I was able to bypass it back when I had my Mytouch and some other phones in the past.

If you talk to loyalty they will give you twenty four months of 10 off with truly unlimited.... So, for two years it's the same price.

Yeah, they caught on to it now. Its all done by their servers networking tools. Nothing you do to your phone will "hide" how much data you are using. It is literally impossible.

I am not a big fan of opera however if you are throttled trust me it's a life saver. Opera mini compresses your data so it not only uses less data but is much faster. When I am slowed down my data is practically worthless.

That application found in the app store is 100x better.
It has every episode of everything with new episodes updated as soon as an hour before it even airs (for me being on the west coast, things come on earlier on the east coast), situated nicely into an easy to use interface.
There are a few bugs, but they are bearable, and worth the price of $0.
I've been using this for about a month and I'm also thinking about canceling my cable tv.
Tell me whatcha guys think.

I have never heard of that until my friend showed me it like last week. You've got this plus more, and it looks even better and easier to navigate around right?
I was just sharing because it's a mobile app on the marketplace and people like connecting their phone directly to their tele to watch things.

Sweet. I don't use Netflix from my phone, but this looks great. Love that I can use it on my Logitech Revue. I use Icefilms a lot, but that doesn't work very well with Android. This works pretty good over wifi if you grab a link that is working.
