[Q] Mobile Hotspot/Tethering - Motorola Droid Bionic

I've been hunting down the newest info on mobile hotspots/tethering, but I only see info that has been stated as "old"... can't find the new stuff.
I want to be able to get WiFi to my Asus Prime from my Bionic. What's the best way to do this?

There is an app out there called android-wifi-tether. Depending on your carrier there is a version that will bypass the verison lockout.

Just make sure you keep an eye on your bill to make sure you don't get slapped with an extra $30.

Potential source of an unlock

Read the post at the url below. It describes how to get updates from Motorola cloud servers. It might be useful in getting unlocks for other phones. Please spread the word to anyone interested in an unlock for Motorola Android phones with Blur.

Once we get root this will be huge. Until then we need to remember this trick

you can see all the Motorola cloud stuff by going to testing and Motorola services. *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer gets you to testing. Don't know if this has any usefulness to it just thought id share.

I hope root comes for the phone soon, the amount of VZW crap ware is crazy.
Has anyone tried z4 to see what happens?
I'm sure it doesn't work cause if its that simple we would be rooted

all of the available root options have been tried by various members of this forum and others as well. its probably going to be a while before we get root.

Time is what it takes, and it has to be made worthwhile for devs to spend their time on it. ICS is coming and lets face it many will be looking to that as the next great frontier.
I know from various forums that with the confirmed members who will put up enough coin a ambitious dev would get enough to easily pay for a D3.
Can the Droid 3 be used on T-Mobile if unlocked or rooted? I ask because I noticed a SIM card slot. Thanks..
So I called the number off this link below and they claim they can unlock the Droid 3 for AT&T and it would work on 3g. Also, they can do the same for T-Mobile but it would only work on Edge. Can anyone confirm this? Has anyone dealt with this site before? Thanks.

so i dont know but ive been derpin around and noticed a couple things....first off apparently there is a sdk that has been updated for the droid 3 over at MOTODEV site....i was looking through some settings and enabled data encryption which required a boot into some sort of recovery where the internal disk obviously allowed -rw access inwhich i was wondering if it would be possible to dump this process through ADB (maybe find handshake)....and a simple ls command thru term reveals bloatware galore
Have we looked at te exploit that the nexus users are using? They can root 2.3.3, 2.3.4, and now 2.3.5. Seems we should use their exploit if possible

Unlocked bootloader makes rooting easier. What works for them (unlocked) will not work for the Droid 3 (locked bootloader).

They say it's the XT860 which is technically not the droid 3 but the non CDMA version of it being deployed by Bell Canada (which should be easy enough to unlock for AT&T and T-Mobile)

Unless it's like the D2G, in which case it's locked from AT&T-Mobile.
Protip: call VZW Global Services and tell them you're going to India (no global plans over there - you have to either not use your phone or rack up a giant bill) and ask for the SIM unlock code. Account has to be in good standing and the device has to be on your line.
If you have 6 months of good standing you can just ask for an unlock with no reason given.

I want google wallet!

I just got an email regarding google checkout and wallet and their plans to consolidate. It was such a tease because I thought it was being released. When do you think us 3g nexus folk will get it???? It Sucks not being able to use our nfc chips..

If you are rooted there are ways of installing it...

My guess is it will come in ICS. At least I don't see why it shouldn't. I don't see the point of the NS 4G exclusive lasting much longer. At some point they are going to lose out on competition if they don't start getting this on NFC enabled phones.
I really hope it comes supported on all nexus s phones when ICS comes out for us so I don't have to flash a zip each time and can instead just get the updates from market

looking for the NFL apk

i switched to custom rom and noticed the nfl apk isnt there anyone know where to get it?
You should be able to get it off the market
looking at this question it seems dumb, but I'm glad it's on here.
I'm new to verizon and was wondering the same thing after I flashed eclipse. I remember looking for this on my evo shift and realizing it's verizon only.
Market

i thought the NFL Mobile, was Verizon only so i didnt think it would be in the market
It is Verizon only. Grab a sprint phone and search for it in the market. Its not there. Im guessing the market is carrier specific.

Spoofing carrier on Android Market

Obviously, my market shows Verizon apps and Wireless Tether for Root Users is 'unavailable on this carrier'. I am on cricKet wireless using CM7.1.0. My question is how to spoof this cricKet carrier on the marketplace. I'm thinking it has something to do with a build.prop-like file, but I'm not sure.

It would be easier just to get it directly from the developer...
Android-wifi-tether Wireless Tether for Root Users
Yeah, I got that already, but I'm building a Moto Droid cricKet ROM, and I want the market to download cricKet apps.

Edit your build.prop to this:
ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-sprint-us
Replace sprint with your choice of carrier

There's a much easier way now...
Just download "Market enabler" from the market. You can "spoof" as many different carriers and countries.
You're welcome

USB tethering rooted bionic.

Looking to USB tether to my windows pc. Before I rooted I used Klink by faveset, now that I'm rooted the Klink software on my pc will not recognize my phone to connect to.
My main goal is to usb tether with no extra costs from verizon. I do have an unlimited data plan.
All apps and software are up to date.

I use easy tether pro. Worth the $10. On Verizon, you have to get it from Amazon app market as the paid version was pulled from the market on Verizon phones. I like how Google only supports the openness when it benefits them or their partners. The fact that a tethering app gets pulled from one cell provider just proves that Android isn't as open as we would like.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
I can't remember where I read it today but someone was saying that they don't charge you if you use the default USB tether that comes on the bionic, but do care if you hotspot...
Any ideas..?
