Hello all.
I am working on trying to figure out a way to do the unlimited hotspot mod for our device on stock software.
Does anyone know if this was done yet?
I am having trouble getting the tools to work.
Before I spend hours on this I was wondering if anyone else has already done this for oour device yet.
Bump this. Looking for the same. Willing to assist in a bounty to do it if other would assist.
I have find a solution that works.

Just wondering before I do this, because, with my last phone (HTC vogue), I switched to verizon lines, and the service was fantastic, but I kept getting error messages about it trying to connect to data and the like, and, I don't want to put up with that nowadays. Overall, is this something you guys have done? What are your experiences with it? Any drawbacks?
Second question is, how do I USB tether now that I'm rooted? I can do it with WiFi enabled just by plugging the phone in, but, that's just the same as stealing net with a wireless card. I'm looking to correctly root using my phone's data connection. Could anyone point me in the right direction?
thanks for reading, and of course, any help is already appreciated.
www.tether.com , they have a beta version of a usb tether that works pretty good, as for the Verizon PRL i cant say haven't done that yet on the Evo.

Thank you. I went ahead and signed up for the beta... here's hoping it works!
Now, if anyone ould help with the Verizon prl question, that'd be amazing.
It works very well. I think there are links to the tether downloads at bbhybrids.net ... look in their android forum section. I posted them there some time ago, if they dont work pm me and ill send them to you when i get to a computer.

rooted evo running baked snack rom...wireless tether speed is between 0.2-0.4 this is ridiculously slow..can anyone help me out ? why is it so slow ? i really need this function and is the sole reason i rooted. anyone else come across this or know how to fix ? ive tried searching but couldnt find a solution. thanks
are you sure thats speed & not amount of data transferred? if you do not believe this to be true, can you post a screenshot of a speedtest.net showing this tremendously slow speed?

No, it wouldn't be, and you'd probably get pegged for something. I'd just stick with the wireless tether app. It works just fine for me, make sure you're running the latest version, or try a previous version. I'd stay clear of the hotspot if you're not paying for it. If you run Cyanogen mod though, you can use the deafult Android 2.2 hotspot app for free.
Does anyone know if there's a way to use Easy Tether with an Android phone and the Elocity A7?
I know the file that needs installing on the input device is for Windows, not Android.
I'd love to use the A7 in place of my laptop on trips where there's no wifi available.
I'm not interested in rooting my phone etc., that's all way over my non-techie head and I'd no doubt ruin my phone.
Thanks for any help.
electric_alice,
The only way I know of tethering is by rooting your phone. Google z4root by RyanZa and find the apk. It seems to be gone from the Market. It's literally 1-click and that's it. I rooted my Droid X with this a while back and can now tether my laptop and the A7 without any problems. Once you have it rooted, grab Wireless Tether from the market and you should be all set.
Thanks for the information. I still don't want to root the phone.
I did email the developer of Easytether, as they have added support for other things, and am hoping they'll update it for android-android as well.
I haven't heard back but if I get a reply I'll share it. I'm thinking it might not work with the A7 anyway?
I just read in another thread, that the USB port can't be used for sharing files.
BTW, what phone do u have?
I just got the new LG Optimus V from VM and no rooting necessary. WIFI hotspot can be enabled with Quick Setting.
And it's real easy to connect as it's a AP. And VM gives unlimited Internet on their BEYOND TALK Plan. This is the best way to connect via WIFI hotspot for your A7.
Hi rogconnect,
I have an HTC incredible. I do have a setting to turn on a wifi hotspot but I'm afraid to change a setting and get a bigger bill from Verizon. I don't know all the ins and outs of how it works or what they know.
I've been using EasyTether away from home without problems. I have the paid version so I can pay bills etc.
Anyone know a solution for Blackberry?
Just an update, I heard back from EasyTether, in case anyone else is interested in same.

Hey guys. I haven't reached my quota to post in the development thread, so I'll ask my question here. I just flashed jovy23's version x Rom on my wife's phone, and I can not get the native tethering to work. Everything works great and its a beautiful Rom, but I get the upsell page. I have wiped and reflashed twice. Reset the apns to default. Trev mods wifi works great. But would like to get rid of the extra steps to make things easier for her. I myself am getting confused. I would do the full tethering hack that jovy has but I haven't had practice of recompiling a Rom. Also I did update to the latest radio about a week before I flashed this Rom. Any help would be appreciated. On a side note, I have the hercules and using it without cameras because they are not allowed at work. I can live with out them. I'm also trying to get a flashlight app to work without camera permissions for my led light. I will also post.this in the t989 thread, figured I'd ask while I was here.
Anyone any ideas? Maybe the radio update? Anyone else have this problem?

I remember reading about downloading user agent addon in Firefox on the phone... I'm not 100%...if you on a computer, go to jovy's thread and you should have an option to search the thread in the upper right corner.. Just use keywords such as; tether fix, Firefox, Firefox add on, user agent... And you should find it.
Hope this helps you!

Thanks for the help, but Jovys Rom is supposed to just work. I've been through the thread and nobody has had a problem with the tethering. Just can't seem to figure out what's going wrong. His method eliminates the need for changing the user agent, or using treve wifi app which I currently use. I would like to get rid of the hot spot shield, and make things simple for the wife. I might just download the previous radio and flash it then reflash the Rom. Wife just hates me playing on her phone lol.
