This has been asked before, but the answer has not been definitive. Since there has not been more discussion, i assume PDAnet works on the G3 but i want to confirm it before putting down my hard earned money.
Does PDAnet work with the G3 in either USB or hotspot mode on Verizon with an unlimited plan?
Thanks.
I believe the play store increased there refund time up to a hour now, should be enough time to test and decide..
If PDAnet doesn't work with the G3, I don't want to buy the phone. I need to tether.

I want to tether my xperia play
ideally wirelessly but if not wired is acceptable
I used to use PDANet quite awhile ago but I believe verizon has cracked down
I am rooted
are there any ways to tether with verizon on the xperia play currently?
I would even be willing to flash a new rom; I've been thinking about it anyways...

first you need to see if you are allowed to teather. if not it worth not risking it verison could turn your entire phone off if you break there t & c. so give it a check. if you are allowed then great news the xperia play on stock firmware includes both usb and wifi teathering. you will find it in wireless and networks under tethering and portable hotspot.
as i live in the uk i dont know what the rule are for teathering and if you are allowed you may have to find out how much teathering data you get. you may also need a teathering "add-on" to make it work. which will cost more money.
im on 3 UK and even thou im on pay as you go and teathering is not supported they dont seem to mind when i told them lol
Legally no you can't. You have to pay Verizon an extra $30 a month to tether. BUT, the FCC is currently looking into Verizon for charging money for tethering.
Hey guys, so i have the G3, tmobile, but I'm using a simple mobile service.
Problem is, my G3 Died and LG just repaired it, bought a BLU phone to use temporarily and it work fine tethering. And my Old G2 tether fine as well, so i don't think its service issue.
But before my G3 died and after it was fixed, I've never been able to get the hotspot to work. When my tablet connects to it, the WiFi icon always have an exclamation mark on it.
Any idea why this is happening ? I really need the WiFi at work. Can't tether it to my laptop either, will say "Unlimited connection".
Any help will be appreciated.
And my data plan is work, i have 10GB of high speed month, right now i've only used about 200mb of that, so its not because i don't have data plan.
Thanks

sounds like your wifi was damaged, id send that backand warranty that fast.
you think? or i need to root it in other to use my hotspot with simple mobile, since its a tmobile phone and i don't have tmobile service, perhaps that's why its blocked?

What app are you trying to root with? If you are trying to use t-mobile's "mobile hotspot"app or the Settings/Tethering & Networks/Mobile Hotspot... No, it is not going to work for you without a t-mobile data plan.
You might be able to find an app that allows tethering, but I think you'll need to be rooted.
I know that MetroPCS is a *itch to get free tethering with.
I'm afraid of rooting this device lol, don't wanna brick it, it died on me once, out of the blue, that's why i sent it in for repairs.
Yes, as you know, its a tmobile phone, but my service is simple mobile, while it was being repaired by LG, i bought a BLU phone for temporary use, and it tethers fine without root. And my old G2 tethers fine without root either, so I'm surprised this G3 is making that hard. So i can tether with other phones, even though its simple mobile service on a tmobile phones, so I'm thinking the G3 might be the one with the problem. And if I'm to root, you have any idea the best thread for that? Thanks for your time.
Hi folks.
So i'm looking at having to replace my DNA. I usually root all my phones but honestly the only reason i do is because i have an unlimited data plan still and i want wifi tethering without being robbed. Unlimited in my opinion means unlimited, VZW can go do horribly inappropriate things to themselves regarding their definition of unlimited.
From what I have read i'm not certain if you can even get the boot loader unlocked, get s-off and root on the VZW m9. It's very confusing (ther than mailing your phone to someone with a java card, and it's bad enough i'm having to live without a phone, i can mail it to someone and wait for it to come back)
But since all i want is tethering I'm wondering if i even have to bother. Does anyone know if any of the no-root tether apps work on this phone?

Use FoxFi
Thanks,
I was just curious I know at one point VZW updated phones so foxfi didn't work. Nice to know it's an option again.
If you don't need wifi tether, there is also clockwork tether wish doesn't require root.
I tried using Fox Fi....no such luck.
I ended up ditching VZW and grabbing a developer edition from HTC.

Are you still with Verizon as your carrier? I didn't think they allowed phones not branded VZW on their network...
Tether
If you REALLY want tether,download and install the Fluent custom rom located in Android Development here.
It's tether works perfectly and it's a smooth running rom as well.

FoxFi and PdaNet+ need root for wifi tether. They are fine if you only need USB or bluetooth tether.

Yes, you must be either: S-OFF, Rooted or Bootloader unlocked and with a custom recovery.

I know some of you have pre ordered their Verizon HTC 10 , which is supposed to arrive on May 5th.
I would like to know if the Foxfi wifi teher without root works on HTC 10 for people who are still on the Unlimited Data Plan.
Thank you
Yeah I need to find this out too. In case my unlocked version doesn't work on VZW, I will have to send it back and get the VZW version and use FOX-Fi until S-off/ Root is achieved.
looks like some people have the verizon version in their hand today, I hope somebody can post the results

Yeah I just asked another member that has his VZW Model 10 up and running to test it out if he could and message me back the results.. I use my hotspot every day with my UDP and cannot go without it.
Confirmed as of now NOT working with FoxFi WiFi hotspot. Bluetooth and USB worked? Perhaps with a FoxFi update??

I cannot even get my hotspot on even if I want to pay

Hope FoxFi updates it, it works on the new verizon LG G5. I want to get the HTC 10, but need to have wifi tether.

Is the FoxFi not working on a Unlocked HTC being used on a Verizon UDP or it is Verizon Version.

The guy stated that it was the Verizon version.. But you only need it if you are still on UDP. Otherwise I have been told that built in native hotspot just works when on a ****e tiered plan, since they pretty much know you are never going to use it for anything really significant other than occasional browsing on another device. Once FoxFi is working on Verizon version, Ill be picking it up.

I am on UDP, that is why I need the FoxFi to work without root. I wanted to get the verizon version of the HTC 10, will have to wait until Foxfi can work.

You and me both my friend :good:
I have a LG k10 on metro with the unlimited data plan and was wondering if someone could walk me through the steps on how to get unlimited tethering, specifically for an xbox. I am a layman whenever it comes to all this so if you could give me babysteps that would be great. I have tried looking it up but i cant understand what
is going on half the time lol. I would rather not root if i dont have to but if i do thats ok. Thanks in advance for any help.
pda.net Works fantastic for me via USB tether or Bluetooth ClockworkMod tether is actually faster but is a pain in the butt to get started sometimes as pda.net one click and you're onon
