So is there any hope for TMobile UMA/wifi calling on the HD7? I've called Tmobile and checked google and it doesn't look good. I don't see any real 3rd party or hacker solutions either on the horizon. This is a deal breaker on the phone since my house seems to kill cell phone service. I have had this useful function on Blackberry's and on Android.
thanks,

I was thinking about getting a cell phone repeater/booster for the house. Anybody have any experience with these?

I do...I got a free one from T-Mobile as a trial...it works wonderfully...I have a vibrant and my brother has a hd7. Before we couldn't even get data on EDGE. Now with the cell booster, I consistently get 5.3 mbps downstream on my phone and brothers is working awesome as well. There's a thread on how to get the device ( you can't just call T-Mobile). Look in the Samsung vibrant general forum and search for booster or cel-fi repeater. I'm on ny phone and I don't know how to give you the link on here....lol hope this helps.

Sigh. I really need something ... It's frustrating not having service at home at all. I guess I'll just have to get a different phone with WiFi calling.
So, I was bored and sitting in class, when I decided I should add my D3 to my laptop as a bluetooth device (for file transfers down the road).
After I established a connection, I figured out you can tether through bluetooth.
Here's how (for Windows 7):
1) Press Start
2) Open "devices and printers"
3) Enable bluetooth on your phone
4) Click on "add a device" in the top-left of "devices and printers" on your computer
5) Establish a connection.
6) Find your D3 in the list of devices
7) Right click the phone's icon
8) Hover your mouse over "connect using" so that "access point" pops out to the right of the menu
9) "Click "access point"
10) INTERNET
just found this out too...
is there any way for verizon to figure out that youre doing this (other than the obvious 'if youre torrenting and pulling huge amounts of data they'll know')
I don't know if they can or not. I've pulled over 15gb of data this month (on my Incredible before I switched to D3 2 days ago) using the wireless tether app. I know they can't with that, so maybe this works the same way.

They offered unlimited packages then get indignant when someone uses more than a couple hundred megs.
They put the new tiers in place PURELY to make money. They know as people start using netflix and spotify/pandora they will use more and more data. They could have beefed up the network, or charged people so much money that people won't be able to use the features they bought on said phones.
They went with option B.
I didn't see this post before, I've been trying to get Wifi Tethering to work on my SIM Based (3G) Droid 3 on Telstra (in Australia).
I tried everything, new ROM, wifi tether hack, tether market apps but nada. It would connect to Wifi, but either NAT doesn't work, or something like that is stopping data from passing "through" the phone.
This morning I thought maybe I can get Bluetooth tether to work with my Asus Transformer (unrooted).
After pairing, and selecting "Internet Access" in the pairing options on the tablet everything works! Awesome. I was so close to sending this phone back.
All I need to do now is work out how to fix the CRAPPY battery life! (and figure out wifi tether when I have more time).
Cheers
If you want more battery life, get the official extended battery. It gets me through a heavy day of usage with ~20% to spare.

The technology has been around a while, its greedy carriers that have been blocking it. It makes no sense with metered data plans, x GB is still x GB whether consumed on the phone or on a tethered computer. We are surprised the Droid 3 and other Droid phones can bluetooth tether for free without root. Why would I pay for wifi tether when bluetooth is free. I'm not sure what the speed limit of bluetooth is but I get full 3G speeds.
Mine is extremely slow on my work laptop compared to when I use the mobile hotspot. Is this normal? It's a work laptop and they still force me to use windows XP could that have something to do with it?
Is this free without any rooting/hacking?

Has anyone gotten wireless tether to work on rooted Bionic yet? I can get connected, but it seems as though verizon's hotspot tries to start with it and thus blocking an IP from being given out and any internet tethering to my devices.
I was an avid user of wireless tether but please do not use it while still running stock rom. Verizon and motorola have security features built into the stock software to help them track people using what they consider illeagal tether apps. Please refrain from using such apps until there is a custom ROM released so as to avoid bringing us to the forefront of verizons attention. In the meantime use pdanet USB tether app located in market. It is important that we as a community stop using our knowledge to continue pushing carriers and handset manufacturers from locking us out completely. If we continue our current trend of outrite defiance in use of these wireless tether apps (wheather you think it should be ok or not is irrelevent until a court rules on it) we are only hurting ourselves in the long run. Please for now use pdanet or similar USB tether app as they are not frowned upon by carriers. If you need to know why here it is, USB apps allow only one device to be connected which limits bandwidth used at one time, wireless tethers allow you to run everything in your house simultatiously greatly increasing individual strain on the network and makeing the user experience for all worse in the long run as the network can only handle so much.
Well, there it all is, an informed public is a better public... Happy modding to all.

Just curious, why would they frown upon wireless tether yet pdanet is "acceptable"? Either way you're bypassing the tethering charge. I can see how wifi tethering would lend itself to a greater amount of abuse as you could have multiple devices using it concurrently - but you can do that with pdanet as well with a little more effort. So I'm wondering how you reached this conclusion? Thanks.
Im confused as to how doing wifi connection is more of a burden than usb. Either connection you're bandwidth is still limited to your 3G or 4G service. On 3G my download speeds are around 3mbs. This is usb or wifi. Now that bing said. If i connect my computer by itself, I keep all this speed to myself. Connecting my wifes computer, xbox, etc. This doesn't bump ky speed to 3mbs per device. Now the 3 devices are sharing the 3mbs im able to connect at. So pleased enlighten me how usb is more acceptable than wifi? All you spam nothing but fear with no actual proof. This has been goingnon since the.DROID OG, and I still have read no proof, just scarce ramblings of people who think they know what they're talking about. P3Droid has stated that the tethering is coming to an end, and that they're getting smart enough to detect it, but still nothings happened yet. Usb or wifi you're "stealing" internet from Verizon, get over yourself and do it or don't.
This will probably only come when we get custom roms.
Wireless Tether
I have GOT to be able to use Wireless Tether on my Bionic. I had a D2 but am in limbo trying to get it back to stock so I just decided to order the Bionic, root it and use Wireless Tether because I really don't know what I am doing, have already spent WAY TOO much time trying to get my D2 to work and am VERY frustrated. :-(
I am hearing mixed messages. Does ANYONE have any experience with using it? I am going to use the D3 root method to access the app.
Thanks for any input anyone can give me!

Since tethering with a USB cord works, what's keeping you from doing that?
I've tried all the apps out there to no avail. According to what I've read, you'll havento have 2 separate programs on your computer and get into the actual coding on the antenna side of the phone to over ride this. Easy fix is keep a DROID that the tether works on, and activate it on myverizon.com, and deactivate it when you're done. It takes less than 2 minutes to do this. A headache, yes, but a simple fix till someone comes up with a patch or better way.

What? you can do that with your old phone, do u just dial *228 to activate it?
*288 works on older phones to program them to the 3G network for data and voice. I don't know how all the 4G phones are, but the bionic's programmed and roaming capabilities are done through a 4G sim card in the phone. The bionic wont even allow a *288 phone call to go through

So I can take my OG droid with wireless tether and call *288 and it will activate and I can use it to tether from, then when I want to go back to my Bionic what do I do to activate it? goto my verizone online and do it. This is the one of the things I miss about the OG Droid do whatever I wanted on it with no issues, just was old and slow at the end. The Bionic 4g of course just screams through any D/L, Netflix etc.

you'll have to activate both from myverizon.com. First thing you'll have to do is go to myverizon.com and activate you Droid OG with the ESN number, then dial *228 to get service. then you can use your phone as you were before. when you're done, go back to myverizon.com and reactivate your Droid Bionic, and turn it on with your sim card and it activates its self. I myself, have dialed *288 several times on my Bionic, and it has done no ill things to my sim card. I've actually been swapping sim cards out from other companies and trying to unlock my phone and haven't damaged anything yet. (not recommending this tho)
why not just use wired tether?

It's confirmed to work, but it's also very possible VZ can just track it easily since you're using their service and they'll stick you on a tiered plan paying tons more than the grandfathered unlimited plan. With custom ROMs there is software that prevents them from seeing if you are browsing the web on your handset or using it to power your laptop. Be careful.

When I'm on a call with 4G LTE enabled, people have told me numerous times they have a hard time hearing me. I hear them fine, but they say I sound muffled. When I disable the 4G they say I sound much louder and clearer. I'm on my 2nd Bionic because of this (3rd one on the way).
Now I leave 4G disabled unless I need to go online. Royal PITA. Has anyone else noticed anything like that?
Well alright then! Ok I guess I have to start asking for a new one now cause I don't have 4g in my sts I never knew about this issue but I noticed this while using 4g over the weekend damn...I wonder if I can complain enough where I can get the prime....

I wonder if we can get more people to test this out. It's a really simple test if folks wouldn't mind trying it out. This test requires you to be in a 4G coverage area.
1) With 4G LTE enabled, call your home or work phone and leave yourself a message...maybe about 20seconds long. If you can't think of enough content to fill up 20seconds, simply read this post aloud as your message.
2) Go to menu, settings, wireless & network settings, mobile networks, network mode, select CDMA only. Again call your home or work phone and leave yourself a message.
3) Check your voicemail and see if you can hear a noticeable difference between the volume and the clarity of the 2 calls.
4) Please post results back in the thread - even if you don't notice a difference. Also it would be preferable to tell us what city you're located in when performing the test.
5) If you do hear that your 4G call sounds less than desirable, please contact Vz and/or Motorola to report the issue.
Vz Wireless: *611
Motorola: 1-800-734-5870

Well it's true that the 4G connection is only used for data...but that doesn't rule out the possibility that it can cause interference when you're on a call. From my home in Gainesville FL, every call I make with 4G enabled sounds bad to the person I'm calling. When I disable 4G and call back things sound great. FWIW I'm in the office today, located in Tampa FL, and my wife said I sounded fine with 4G enabled. So perhaps it's a geographic issue. Hopefully some other folks will chime in with their experience.
Yea let's see how it goes I really like my bionic and I'm thinking if getting the dock so I plug it in and use it in the field and the new one looking like its going to be light weight with new keyboard but if and when I get 4G and this continues I might just bail on bionic if the issue isn't fixed...not bothering me now cause I don't have 4G coverage but let's see how it goes when I do get coverage

Hi, Im interested in rooting my G note.
I rooted my HTC HD2 a long time ago and it was just alot better (custom roms). HOWEVER:
Im interested in this android tether application: Obviously you can tether you 3g you pay for monthly with the phones default settings. BUT
using root access, does this mean you can cancel your contract!, get a pay as you go contract, use the android tether to effectively steal the 3g data and then stream it to the same phone over wifi and browse for instance on Opera mini, mobile firefox, receive email over it?
or, is it the case that you can only tether to other devices such as ipod touch,,another wifi capable phone?
I can't really see the use in this otherwiseunless you carry around two phones all the time.
Can someone clear this up please because all the videos Ive watched they only prove it works on another device.
thanks very much, and I hope this works
by the way , I am based in the UK, have the standard european version and Im on a 3g network called 3. If this only works withother uk providers Id be happy to switch to orange/t-mobile , O2 etc

Forgive me as i dont really understand what you're looking for. Is there a link to the tethering app you're speaking of? Tethering apps are usually so you can use your phones 3g for your laptop/pc. If youre on 3, then youre unlimited bundle comes in handy. A friend of mine tethers his sgs2 t9 his laptop using unlimited 3g as his broadband connection and has done for some time now without being restricted.
I dont understand when you say "steal the 3g from a pay as you go phone" to your note? That seems pointless. Surely yiu could just stick the pay as you go sim into your note?
Also, there are a lot of tethering apps that dont require root access.

I thought one of the advantages of rooting your phone is to be able to not pay the monthly contract and use the tethering wifi from whichever network your on.

yeh I know this....so...
oh, so it is only when you have a data plan already, you get tethering for free. when rooted. Nothing special then. ''. ?
so you can't have no data plan and effectively steal free data? ? '',
oh wait: having said that i was thethering a few months ago and my bill was huge: so I dont get it for free..
so reverting my original question:: does this work on the 3 network in the uk? thx
also:
couldn't i just root like an old samsung galaxy, keep it in my left pocket, travel the world , lol and keep a galaxy note in the other pocket using the wifi from the old samsung?
Im a little confused too, couldn't you do this with no data plan, i.e pay as you go and when you connect to 'data 3g' they charge you as you go, but effectively just tether it to another phone for free? so basically you would just pay for calls and not internet?
Ok, what the guy is on about is thqt operators in us charge an extra bolt on for the priveledge of enabling tethering. O2 used to do it when tethering was first enabled on the iphone 3gs, it was 10 quid a month or something rediculous.
Im pretty sure that now its free to enable tethering in the uk. All it means is that you can pair your phone using existing data plan to your laptop or pc, and effectively use it as a mobile 3g modem.
So yes, tethering will work on any network or rom, you're just limited by your existing data plan as to how worthwhile it is. If you get a 3 all you can eat data plan, then its unlimited, but of course speeds are pretty crappy.
Im sure there is a way to hack an operators 3g networks and get data for free but would imagine thats a bit beyond xda's strict code of ethics
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I see, what I meant when I got charged alot was that I went over the 5GB limit.
If I was to tether for free, using the root access, would I basically 'eat up that data' whilst tethering to another device for free?
As you know, in the uk, the tethering access most commonly comes under the same data plan and isn't free in that regard.
Yes, tethering just uses your existing data plan. Try getting one of 3's all you can eats if possible, im sure theyd be willing to if you call them up.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
To me it looks more like you have no idea about what rooting and tethering really is/does.... Since what you are asking is completely ridiculous...
You want to use your 3G data to send it over wifi, back to the same phone......
You can just cut out the tether part and use your 3G directly........
it's like getting into the car by entering into the trunk to get out by the back door to finally open the drivers door and sit in the drivers seat, instead of just open the drivers door right away like normal minded ppl would do.....
Guess we all start somewhere, i was confused as hell when i started out with smartphones.

To me it looks more like you have no idea about what rooting and tethering really is/does.... Since what you are asking is completely ridiculous...
You want to use your 3G data to send it over wifi, back to the same phone......
You can just cut out the tether part and use your 3G directly........
it's like getting into the car by entering into the trunk to get out by the back door to finally open the drivers door and sit in the drivers seat, instead of just open the drivers door right away like normal minded ppl would do.....

just come back to this thread after a few hours: no its not because you would be getting it for free.
It is more like buying a drivers door and not actually owning a boot door or side door
surely?!
Don't you understand?? In the uk you can have a pay as you go contract and then pay extra for 3g when you use it, so instinct would suggest you could effetcivel climb into your car through the boot and into the drivers seat!!! to use the pay as you go 3g (for free) through tethering(eg the metaphorical boot ) and use the wifi receiver of the phone to use it!!! (eg the metaphorical drivers seat )
...
.. .
But anyway I understood from before that the phone can't receive that own signal. Although now Im questioning either the other persons understanding or your ignorance So what Im now saying is 'yes its useful'. But does it work in the uk where the tethering is just the same usage of the data plan eg 5GB????
Im sure I could ask 3 for unlimted but tbh the people at their contact centre are umbelievably annoying. Id prefer to use this way of tethering as it'd give me an excuse to put effort into rooting my device anyway
Strange logic indeed... Pretty sure the car would have blown up and you'd be in hospital!

strange humour. Has no one got a striaight answer to this.
Or can i assume everyone on this forum is mobile obsessed, and works for mobile phone network companies
Answer answered a few times.
I dont think you understand the principals of tethering or a normal data connection.

So, if i was to tether having rooted the phone, it would still cost me is that what your saying?
because I don't think that was said at all ?
Tether uses data from the phone. If you have no data plan, you cant tether full stop.
If you know of a way to hack 3's 3g network, please let me know, i'll transfer now.

i just found this, but, since you can have payg internet i see no reason why you couldn't tether .. Correct me if im wrong but it just seemed a naturally progressive assumption.

ok I found this though http://technoratia.com/2011/12/30/three-uks-position-on-tethering-devices-to-your-phone/ three don't allow tethering on payg,,, (as its their policy)
suppose someone must do in the uk??? then it would work right? presuming the tethering is alos in the payg form and not monthly eg bolt on to a payg plan.
giffgaff allow tethering from payg but you wil lbe paying a hell of alot of money to tether on a non contract tarriff
you cannot tether if you do not have the creit on payg or a contract that gives you data each month
what exactly are you trying to achive ? internet on your laptop for free from a mobile connection and dropping a home broadband connection?
You cannot resend a tethered signal from a phone back to itself as the tethering itself uses the phone's WIFI module, and as such cannot connect to the WIFI hotspot since the phone has no additional WIFI modules. So what you're asking for is literally impossible under normal circumstances.
Also, am I right in understanding that what you're asking for is bordering on fraud/theft of services?

He is trying to enter a Tesco, and eat their M&M's without opening the bag....
And consequently not opening his wallet either
And he still doesn't understand rooting, dataplans or tethering, which isn't a bad thing, but he could just take our word for it, or read up on it.
