[Q] Using wireless tethering on Verizon?

Hey guys, I just switched to Verizon, got a Nexus, and rooted it. I was wondering just how easy is it to get caught by Verizon if I use the wireless tether apk? I'd appreciate it if someone posted their experiences with it. Thanks!

I use it all the time and have never got an email in the past 2 years, and I use at least 5-10GB a month.

this is the first time i use it constantly . because of the 4G speeds. i havent got a email or a text from them.
before i had it with my incredible but hardly use it, because of the slow 3G speeds.

Alright thanks! This is actually my first experience with android on a phone (other one was CM7 on my Nook Color) and I had just always read that you get lots of sudden charges so its good to have peace of mind.

Sorry for the bump, I've got one more question. Wireless tether seems to give me a much higher data usage reading than the settings app in ICS. After using it a bit it said I used 500kb while the settings app reported that I used 1 KB. Is there a reason for this?

If you're really stupid about how much you use it, they will catch on but if you're smart about it you can get away with it a lot.

noob here . I looked around here , but cant find much about installing all these different things. Id like wifi tethering to work . I only need it very seldom but would like to have it when i do . How do you install?
thanks , Dan

I am using pre111 and its working fine. Are you rooted?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Yeah im rooted and running ARHD 2.1.2
I will try pre111. Thanks.

Hmm well I am just running stock 4.0.2 and it runs fine. The only issue is after I turn off wireless tethering the phone crashes. A restart fixes it though.

Hmm that's odd. Maybe some incompatibility with ARHD? Did you move to pre111?
On a side note, how is ARHD compared to stock?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I did go to pre111 and got the exact same errors
It could be ARHD related as i thought this also but dont feel like flashing back to stock right now
As for stock v/s ARHD comparison, I wasnt on stock long enough to compare

Alright, so I just flashed ARHD onto my Nexus and wifi tether is still working fine. Did you give it super user permissions?

Of course i did silly
Im running radio 4.03
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1403133

Wifi Tether will not work with 4.03. I consistantly get errors in the startup log. Even worse, when on wifi at home im fine and my signal icons are blue meaning im connected to google servers. But if i disconnect off wifi and use my cellular 3G connection my signal icons stay grey and will not turn blue.
I had to flash back to 4.02 and instantly got blue icons on 3G and now my Wifi Tether works.

Google Body for Galaxy Nexus

Here is a working version on Google Body I found working on the Galaxy Nexus. The search bar doesn't display on portrait mode. Works perfectly with or without hardware acceleration.

Hey thanks , do you know how to switch from the female to the male ? when I installed it the female came up by default, sometimes I might need the male version any ideas how to change it ?
thanks again

It isn't possible, they only ever included a female body.
By the way you can actually download this straight from the market. For some reason it doesn't come up when you do a search but just follow this link:https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.apps.body

Doesn't work for me either using market, comes up Item not found with a retry button. Might be because were in the US. The megaupload link worked for me though.

The link does not work here in the UK, either using the market or the browser. It shows "item not found" when using the market.

No dice here, stock on verizon. Downloaded installs, but doesn't work very well, well at least not like it does on desktop. Hangs, zoom fails eventually. Not worth the install imo.

G Wallet Unsupported device.

I believe Google wallet still works even though there is the unsupported device banner, but I know in the evo lte ROMs even though they were root the banner would not show. Is there something similar for the nexus. It was on means ROM if that is helpful at all.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

The only reason the Verizon GalNex is "unsupported" is because Verizon told Google to say so. That doesn't change the fact that the GalNex has NFC and is perfectly-capable of running Wallet. Just gotta side load it...
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

The "unsupported device" banner comes from being rooted, the app still functions. There might be a modded version in the themes & apps section but I always just ignored the banner.

Even when I side load the app it directs me to the Google Play store.
I'm using the official apk from my Nexus 7.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I will look there and see, but for now what I have done is disable root within super su. After a phone reboot the app doesn't show unsupported anymore. My only worry with the unsupported banner is that it may be logged somehow during a transaction and if it went bad or I got double charged Google would basically tell me to go **** myself.

I haven't played with the nexus 7 at all but it may be pointing you to the play store because the version is outdated maybe. That's all I can think of.

I'm rooted and it says it is a supported device.

When you open the Wallet app you don't see a banner that states "unsupported device"? (I'm not talking about in the Play Sore)

Your problem is unrelated to the topic of this thread. Please be a good noob and not attempt to hijack threads. Also, based upon your signature, it seems you may not even be in the correct device forum.

Hotspot hack or tethering.?

Which one do you use?
Foxfi blue tooth works... But I prefer a wifi solution

There is no way to WiFi tether this phone? Guess I'm going to hold off until that gets sorted out.

I was just reading in the galaxy nexus section that today some people tried WiFi tether on their s3 and it worked. Maybe it will work on the note as well? I want a note 2 but I have to have WiFi tether.

Intersting.
Are you on sprint or boost network?

not likely, I tried that, it's probably because the hot spot tries to contact a sprint network server that just isn't there on us cellular

well why would it work on mine though? i'm running your firmware on my device. with all the system sprint apps removed. i don't see why it wouldn't work? so if it were checking on sprint servers shouldn't it stop me as well? has anyone tried removing all the sprint apps?

wifi tether is working on the S3 but not the Note II yet (at least I could not make it work) I imagine it will be working soon though.

Wi-Fi Hotspot working dandy.

there is a lot of things that Sprint servers check that only work if you are using sprints data connection. sprint tv for example doesn't work in Wifi even if you are with Sprint because it checks with Sprint thought it's network and not through the internet

I'm genuinely curious why the toro can have working data, but the toroplus doesn't. Just an honest question, not a comment on ability or what not. Can't we use their builds to help?

Sorry for asking but how do I do that? I'm following the Cyanogenmod guide but changed the source to the Slimroms one and blah blah blah. So if you could tell me (Somewhat as simple as can be) how to do that, I'd love that

savoca, you can try to use the tuna device tree from silm, it seems bugless than the cm one.
i had build one with it two days ago, although mobile network(sms/phone) was not working at all, but wifi and camera working perfact.
