Currently no, I sent an email to wifirouter which made the great app for our HD2's and the only reply they gave me was no so good, and that for how they see the OS now, it doesnt allow for it.
Lets hope Windows fixes that. Cause we need that. I really really need that.
This one has been beaten to death in other threads but for what it's worth +1 for tethering feature here as well.

Doesnt do us much good, and I really hope they come out with it soon, even if it is third party like we had on the HD2, i hate dragging my HD2 around to see clients just to have that one feature.
Any news or rumor about hd7 tether we need the update really soon.

not that I have seen, my HD7 is a paper weight right now, since that is all it is good for, i got fed up with all the missing things went back to HD2.
Man, I'm right there with you. Same thing. Microsoft took a step backwards. Disappointment. I have to keep switching SIM cards to my AT&T tilt to tether. Serious BS.
all these answers have really really pushed me back, not buying until MS fixes all or most of the common things, tether, bluetooth atleast
I just got HD7 from ebay and got in love with it and the WP7 system in one hour time. But last and most important thing for me that I checked was usb tethering.
What a disappointment.
I hope M$ will make it soon available or I'll get rid of the phone unfortunately

Eh u just got the phone, give it a few days, ull grow to hate it
But yes, tethering not present is a big let down, along with many missing items, and the mid January BIG update, is nothing more then new fixes for market place and cut/paste to shut us up, which is still not here soooooo....
thats why im glad i kept my HD2
has anyone tried using the DFrouter xap posted in the hd2 development forum? You need a jailbroken device for that though..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922000
First, is there any updates concerning tethering on the HD7? And second, why is everyone blaming Microsoft when they have already said that its availible but up to the carriers to offer it?
Hi,
I'm seriously considering going out and buying this phone but I'm really not sure after seeing all the threads with people saying that they go back to their phone and it's switched off and requires a battery pull.
This seems to be a fairly serious problem but I was just wondering if it is happening to everyone who owns the O2x?
Please let me know if you are unaffected by the problem!

My phone has been fine not one reboot or freeze, stayed stock rom for first week then rooted and changed roms several times and still no problems, got mine off ebay brand new, can give u the link to the seller if you like

I've had mine since March and I have not experienced any freezes or reboots.
It really is a great piece of hardware. I'm not that fond of LGs software, but that can be solved with a custom ROM.

So, how do you get on Rusty, you seem like a very experienced XDA member.. how is the O2X treating you?
i am not the best guy to talk to . i just got the phone used yesterday for very cheap. i figured that if i dont like it, i can sell it for the same money or even make a little more and get the SGS2.
but so far. no crashes/reboots.. been more than 24 hours. using custom rom as well.
i got the phone for 300$. the stickers still on it. i figure if i decide to sell it. i wont lose at all..
so far. i am really loving the phone. i love the UI of LG. but its slow. it laggs. i wonder if there is a custom rom with the LG UI but smooth one.
right now i am on modaco. with 3000 quadrant. if i switch to google launcher. phone is smooth. if i switch to LG one, it laggs a little in the home screen. i tried the Tmobile version 2.3 on my optimus. its super smooth. but i cant make phone calls on it lol.
and i had a screen problem with the cayanogen rom. for some reason my screens dims and go bright on its own.
oh yeah. i also have a screen light leak/bleed. but it doesnt bother me much because the only way i can notice it if the room is dark and i have a black wallpaper.
Mine went slow once on stock, once isn't bad though. The froyo Rom does seem rushed in truth, (I have random battery drains from my Dialer which makes no sense) but I'm sure Gingerbread will have everything sorted.

Pretty well to be honest. I use CM7 nighties (I bought the phone specifically because it was going to be supported by them) so I cannot expect a bug free experience at this early stage.
I am enjoying it though, I came from a Nexus One that had bugger all internal storage and a poor digitizer, so proper multi-touch and 1.5GB spare for apps is fantastic.
The IPS screen is great if you can overlook the associated backlight bleed (it's not just the 2X, look at iOS devices as well, same thing), the GPS chip is excellent, I can get locks in place that my N1 couldn't.
The stock ROM is turd, frankly. It's fast, until you install something, then it becomes unusable for a bit until it's finished with the app... quality coding
fine
i have my lg optimus 2x now for over a month, no problems here.
i stil have the stock rom.
first v10a. no problem
later v10b. no problem
I have had 2 O2x now for litle over a month
one of them has had BSOD and restarts randomly - the other had none, atleast for the first month - but these past days this one has now also rebooted a couple of times.
Both are completely stock - not rooted and not using any custom roms.
Only using a different launcher which do help make the BSOD and Reboots less often.

I been over there as well. Most of the problems on the SGS 2 are either software or can be solved with apps. My O2X had so many problems that I could never use the phone and wifi at the same time. Bleeding, constant reboots/freezes crashes even with Custom ROMs. Since Im in afghanistan now I need a phone that will work not just when it feels like it. I will say that when the O2X was working it was a sweet phone. I just dont see the same problems with the SGS2 and Samsung tends to be better in the service side instead of LG leaving us pissing in the wind waiting for a "possible update" that might fix things or not.
guess i´m a lucky guy, too!
i have no crashes/reboots and absolutely NO backlight bleeding
Mine is also working properly.

(moderator, sorry for starting a new thead. But this is important to get others' attention)
This is an extract from an LG expert at lg forum ( regarding thrill 4g ghost call issue)
"...Optimus 3D is an international phone, so I would not be reading XDA threads pertaining to that phone...USA phones keep me plenty busy. ;-) We collect information from many different sources about our phones, but honestly if you want help from LG the conversation needs to take place here in LGForum.com and not in a 3rd party website dedicated to rooting and custom ROMs unless you are running a custom ROM, then please keep the conversation going at XDA because we cannot help in that case. ProductPro and I are re-reading all of the threads to collect as much info as we can. So any trends or common triggers or anything like that greatly helps with issues like this. So far the amount of information posted is extremely vague and doesn't give us much to go on. If everyone believes it's truly random then that iswhat we'll report to the engineers, but we need to do a certain amount of due diligence before we submit to engineering. Any help to try to explain when,how,where these ghost calls occur is greatly appreciated. Thanks! "
So you guys can see what LG is upto. They haven't received enough complaints about this issue.
We all need your support. Just don't wait till others do the job.
Its will take only 2-3 minutes. What you have to do is go to the forum and sign in using facebook account or use the lg username password
http://support.lgforum.com/lg
Under common problems select "Ghost call issue is not resolved with resetting or any other simple methods. So help us..:-( " topic and add your experience with ghost call issue.

I just posted on the LG forum (even that's cumbersome to use...they need some new software developers...).
I think it's important to convey the frustration, but also focus on the specifics of the problem. Ranting and raving about how crappy LG is won't get us anywhere. Explaining what the problem is, when it's better, when it's worse, and as much technical details as you're capable of gathering are what will help engineering the most.

You may not have 4g i am using 21e but can't test 4g as at&t drags feet and we don't even have 3g in my area maybe we should start a thread on at&t website pushing 3 &4g to less densely populated areas so they can keep up with the competition as at&t is the only company that has no 3g and now 4g other than that the at&t crap ware isn't there but that is a plus

So I was able to get V21E up and running on my Thrill, however I now cannot receive MMS messages. All I get is a download button, which when pressed tells me that the download is not available at this time. Any suggestions?
I should add that I'm not rooted...simply running LG's stock V21E rom on my Thrill in an effort to fix this annoying ghost call issue.

So even though Dark Lestat had a very detailed and thorough walk through on how to flash a different rom, I stopped at the part where he talks about rooting and therefore completely missed the step to setup APN's. *face palm*
I got it figured out over the weekend and have been fully functional for the past several days. I'm happy to report there have been no real issues so far including Ghost Call. It seems reception at work and battery life have improved as well. I no longer want to smash my phone into little pieces.
Thanks for the advice on switching to V21E!

Ghost call not fixed with 21e
Hello, i ugraded my thrill to 21e and glad to have all at&t app disappear but the ghost call issues not fixed yet!!! I found a software 'GETril' which change your phone baseband but for me it says 'system partition not writable' which does not allow me to continue. I'm rooted and do not know how to make system partition writable.
I bought an HTC Desire 510 few months ago cause my Xperia ARC died (was the best phone I ever had).
Now I am very disappointed with the HTC 510, mainly cause of it's awful operating system bundled by google ALL OVER the place
The user interface is a one big disaster, so much annoying and unnecessary stuff... besides the annoying bloatware (parental control app? srsly?)
I really wanna root this phone and change it's OS to those similar of gingerbreed, cyanogen etc but I don't know how to do this with my current phone
and don't even know what custom operating systems are available for the model I have.
What annoys me about the user interface:
*Often lowers the earphone music volume without my permission then gives me this annoying warning that making it higher will damage my hearing - srsly?
*Screen tends to lower it's lighting and back again by itself while I use the phone
*A button at the bottom of the menu that looks like a "home logo" will open somekind of useless google page each time I drag that button up by mistake.
*Terrible and irremovable Gallery app, not to mention it displays images in uncomfortable way, it also features a slideshow which often plays automatically without me asking it to each time I enter a photo album.
*Poorly made irremovable alarm clock app
*Other forced google apps installed on my phone which i don't use and can't just get rid of
*Bad just bad option of organizing apps, well for me atleast, back on my Xperia ARC I used to organize my apps by "commonly used apps" feature, went great, here it's just wacky, it doesn't do it automatically after you set it to organize the following way. So I find myself surfing through all the useless apps to find the app I need at the app menu.
Can anyone give me guidance or recommendation for an alternative Operating System I could replace this horrific google product infecting my phone since I bought it?
I presume this phone would become amazing with a new custom OS, did anyone changed the OS on their HTC 510? if yes what you use and how is it?
Also I know to root this device you first need to unlock the bootloader, is there anything else important I need to know when rooting it?

Dude really. Maybe you should have checked out the forums of this model B4 you bought it. That being said, since you say you are unlocked and rooted then doing a quick search should get you everything you need to rid yourself of all that is bothering you. Depending on what you have and with whom there are some pretty good options out there to use. Check it out and start doing it.
Or you could just throw your phone in the lake, buy and Iphone and forget about it. Bam!

I actually planned to buy Galaxy 3, heard it was good but also had slow loading problems, then I was offered an alternative of this HTC for the same price and faster working system. It was a spontaneous buy.
And I thought buying an Iphone but changed my mind cause of the "itunes" thing.

All I can say (and I never said it was easy) is for you to subscribe to all of the HTC 510 Forums and start reading thru the threads. In your case, the most helpful one being this one..."Help & Troubleshooting" if you can not find answers to your particular questions then I would assume that means we just aren't there yet. This is a pretty new device after all. I wouldnt know about themes being I am on custom ROM and that is not an option. You should maybe go for the Unlock and root your phone method. Try out some of the ROMs available. I believe that will alleviate many of your issues since the stock ROM that came with these units have multiple issues. Many of them are the same ones you are experiencing. I wish you well and Read, Read, Read.
Good Luck

You should definitely read through the forums if you haven't so far. I have read/skimmed every thread here about our phone and I almost have no questions or concerns except for some ideas for a couple of issues that haven't been brought up yet or just not yet done.
I only use Sense Home or Dodol Launcher and they both don't have the option to sort by last used, check out Nova, Apex, or some other launcher.
As far as the update is concerned, you can follow this post by LarryBoyG, if you plan to stay on stock. I'm sure a custom ROM will be built that includes the update, unless everyone just wants to wait for Lollipop.

Curious: do you have cloud sync turned on in the Wear app on your phone?
Cloud Sync Was Off
I thought I said yes when it prompted me ... last month... but it was off. Just turned if on.
No wifi in settings.
And the "up" options page (swipe down from watchface) has the flat tire. What? Did I want a 360?
Rebooted - still no wifi in settings
And that's that. We don't have Wifi enabled by LG. Next is to see if it can be enabled in another way (ROM, kernel, etc.).
I feel deceived by lg.

Announced as a Wi-Fi capable device and then the update doesn't bring the feature. That's a no more lg to me. I will write to complain. This was the most expensive smartwatch and the only one that ever mentioned WiFi on the release.
why I dont have the update yet ? im in the uk.
I'm in Portugal and no update yet too!

What's the point of it anyway, the code won't be much different and most likely will drain battery for no apparent reason and since there's no wifi in this update...
f*cking lg mate, is this [email protected]?!? no wifi ?! this is bullf*cking**** ! I knew it ! I knew I shouldnt buy a f*cking LG !! This company has always been **** ! how could I buy this product... im so stupidddd
No update yet on my side. San Antonio, TX.
So no wifi? No biggie. I have survived without it before, so nothing has changed. Does it bug me that it's on the Urbane and not the GWR? At first, yes, because it was told to us. But thinking about it. I am "meh" about the wifi thing in general. I don't think wifi would have changed my way of doing things on the watch. I am still wearing it. I am not going tot sell it. My GWR still functions, I love my watchfaces. The battery life lasts as long as I do during the day. So I say it's still a win. We are still getting updates. Now it would be another issue if we weren't getting the update lol.

The thing is I couldn't have cared about the wifi at all either, but when I think about it's just going to open a window to not update the device further in the future, as it "doesn't have a feature set required for an update" or whatever bull**** they can come up with.

Does it say "Wifi Support" or "Wifi Capable" ANYWHERE on the box of your watch? No? Then you have no right to complain. Seriously, people, you knew what you were buying. Stop giving LG crap about it. While I agree that it's a bad move on their part to say the hardware doesn't support it, they are in NO way obligated to give us a feature they didn't advertise.

According to LG Portugal, the device presented at IFA 2014 was a prototype and not GWR... what to me is a BIG LIE! That kind of lie that its made to silence people!
Im angry ...I am angry cuz I was cheated in a way that no one should be ! I paid so much money for this watch only because they SAID there is WIFI and I NEED THE WIFI ... I cannot take my phone to places with me ..only way to check my mails, messages etc was to have a device with WIFI that can sync with my phone during the time I cannot have my phone with me ...this was SAID by LG and they cheated me ...I dont like that ...
if my watch realy dont have WIFI after the update I will return this product and will never ever ever buy LG again... cheap cheating !

Where did they tell YOU that it has Wifi? Is there ANYWHERE on the box of your watch indicated that it has Wifi? They've said that it won't get Wifi from the beginning of the rumours.

Hey, breathe a little. LG confirmed to Android Police Wi-Fi may or may not come to the LG G Watch R after all.
Android Police Article said:
LG has confirmed to us that the G Watch R may or may not get Wi-Fi in a future update. At this time, LG is unable to commit to a yes or no answer. According to LG, additional certification and other work is needed before Wi-Fi can be activated on the G Watch R, and they're unsure if it's going to be possible to get past these roadblocks.

Besides, if you wait just a few days, there will most likely be ways to cross-flash a kernel (and possibly firmware blobs) to enable Wi-Fi on the GWR, since they're basically the same watch. So wait and see, I'm not too worried myself.
So is this thread about the 5.1.1 update for the GWR, or yet another ***** session about the watch not having Wi-Fi? There are already multiple threads covering that topic.
