I had a Samsung captivate before rooted and running cyanogen. I made proper use of the hotspot feature. The ion now has it stock but has to be unlocked by att calling 611. I'm not going to pay $60/m for a low tethering plan and lose my grandfathered unlimited plan.
Does anyone know of a workaround or is this going to be a root required thing?

There might be some apps that you can use without rooting to tether like pdanet (haven't tried myself) but to use the built in feature will require rooting and some system changes.

I thought that might be the case. If I can dig up some modem drivers I should be able to do a dial up connection through Windows.
Wow AT & T really are rubbish. I really annoys me when operators neuter the phone to make a quick pound....
If we can get the LT28i firmware we should be able to use it on our ions and it will allow the built in tethering though it might require changes to the APN. I'm trying to get that firmware from international users.
I have already provided a copy. It is in a thread in QA section of xperia S (back in the day when there was no ion forum) called xperia ion development status

With regards to what? We can flash the rogers or generic firmware just fine on our AT&T ions. The generic will allow us to use tethering without issue. Not sure on the rogers one.
Waiting for ICS so we can try some if the tricks the xperia s is using to root with a locked bootloader. Still no dice on creating a prerooted system image. But again that only works with an unlocked bootloader.

When you root your phone it will stay with stock features the is your choice to add themes or extra apps? Just do you research first?

From www.xperiablog.net thought this was interesting, and hopeful to those of us who have the ion!
I actually had a notification of an OTA update a few days ago, checked XDA and didn't see anything so I thought it was just a false notification again.

Just another ICS update. I'm not updating fw again until I see a 6.2 version come around.
Yeah, I'm hoping to see a bigger update than this...curious to see what bugs this update will be fixing though..
I just had a conversation with an AT&T rep and she confirmed that AT&T will be releasing Jelly Bean for the ion. She couldn't give me an exact date, but she said to be on the lookout for a couple of weeks or so. I asked her if she knows this for sure, and she said "yes, it's in my documentation for the ion" so...great news, and we shall see.
An unlock would be a nice inclusion since att stopped selling the ion and the year lock is over

probably better off w/o at&t's firmware anyway. I installed the lt28i firmware on my ion and prefer it over at&t's. No bloatware to contend with, and you get android's backup&restore app. The best benefit, however, is that you get yer firmware straight from sony w/o having to deal with at&t.

Probably no LTE, but where I am I get faster speeds through WIFI. Which sucks since I have unlimited data and not enough speed to enjoy it.

You should be able to flash the I or AT radios with out a issue. We initially flashed the AT GB radio to the H ICS so I would think it still works.

WiFi is always faster than LTE right now. I mean 802.11n does around 150mbps, and if you have cable that's probably more than 50mbps.. 1 gbps if you're on fiber . Anyway, I don't think ever goes over 30mbps at the moment, so it makes sense that WiFi is faster.

Doesn't say anything about a delay just that the ion FW is to follow the S and those other devices which was always the case.
Yea the Ion is not delayed but more seems like they are waiting as to not overload the servers. The S and SL are older and I would think allot more where sold than the Ion so makes sense to roll it first. I would expect to see the Ion update go live on Monday but hey maybe sooner who knows. But we do know its finally happening so yeah for that.

HiI have SgH-i317 it is unlocked and rooted. But Knox warranty void 1. means that in cant downgrade to factory rom. I just want to ask expert what precation i should take so i can't brick my phone. also i want to use t-mobile and want to use wifi calling feature i installed and tried jedi master x2 rom and select t-mobile i successfully install rom. but since i dont have any t-mobile sim yet can't check wifi calling feature but with my att sim i keep losing signal in every 2-3 minutes and get signal right back in 10 second but call is dropping as signal get lost.
so can some one direct me right direction so i can utilize this feature when i buy t-mobile sim
Thank you
If you are having signal issues search the JediMasterX thread there are multiple fixes for this on your phone. All revolve turn SE LINUX to permissive and possibly flashing a new modem.

Remember that the phone checks for updates using the AT&T servers, if you are not using an AT&T sim, you wont be able to get the update. I would just load a custom 4.3 TW rom, which I'm sure are a lot better than the crap AT&T releases.
Have you tried to Odin to a stock 4.3 ROM.
You might want to try the one click.
Think I have it somewhere let me check.

Not sure, have you tried plugging it in to a pc using Kies? Do you have an Att sim with you? You could give it a try by using an ATT sim and connecting to wifi

The one click method puts the leaked AT&T 4.3 bulks on it. It is not rooted. If you skip the cf auto root steps you will be on 4.3 non rooted stock.
