This may not be the right topic to post in.. however, I was looking through all of XDA and I didn't see a list / sub category for the Motorola Droid (its not the Eris version)
Does anyone know of a forum that is heavily used as this one is?
My girlfriend picked one up so I'm trying to help her tweak it and root.
Not many forums out there that are heavily based on droid alone(of my intelligence of course)... Try this guide http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f60/root-your-droid-32749/#post299661 btw giving a non-tech savvy person root, not a good idea .

Alldroid is a pretty good spot for Moto Droid.

Ok so my girlfriend has a Blackberry and she hates it. She's up for a new upgrade, BUT she's on Alltel. They only have the hero and her friends have all had bad experiences with it. I'd like to get her a Droid and put it on Alltel. She can't leave Alltel because she's got a good deal with a family plan. I've done some quick researching to no avail, but was wondering if maybe some of you could help. Anything you can link me to or tell me about would be helpful and I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
There is, but you will need someone who has had lots of expesince with the hardware and esn's of phones.

Does the wireless tether app work w/ the Bionic? (https://market.android.com/details?id=android.tether)
To answer your question, No, and seriously, look around before you ask, if this worked there would not be threads on reverse engineering the wireless tether feature, how to get tethering to work and such, these multiple threads are getting a bit ridiculous.

Some people like to reverse engineer stuff for fun. Speak from your own experience perspective not everyone else's.

Not everyone is as advanced as me? 1st off I'm not very "advanced", I simply have made a common observation that there are numerous threads on this topic already, which probably shouldn't have been posted in development to begin with, but that would be for a Mod to decide. The point of a forum as far as I'm aware is ultimately the exchange of information, if information of value is hidden amongst dozens of repeat threads, doesn't that hinder users in their attempts to find information that others have posted? Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of the forum? I'm not bashing the OP, I didn't call him/her names or imply he/she lacked intelligence, I answered their question first and secondly brought something to his/her attention that would probably benefit the community if prevented in the future. And it's not just my perspective when facts support it.

You're right. I agree it doesn't belong in development as it does not forward development on the device. It ends in a question mark, should be in General, seeing as the Bionic doens't have a Q&A section for some reason. Or even Themes & Apps seeing as it's about an application.
But, on the other hand, it isn't necassarily true that if it worked there wouldn't be thread on reverse engineering the built-in WiFi HotSpot application. Maybe people don't want a 3rd party application for tethering, so they would use the reverse method. Or they are simply interested in a learning experience.
Both of you had a fault in the conversation. But this is only my opinion. I don't know everything and don't claim to. Just giving my 2 cents on the situation as we've had similar in the Droid Incredible forums before, where I was before here, hence my username.

You're looking at one thing I said, forget the bit about reverse engineering, there are still multiple threads about this subject, I wasn't basing my whole point on the reverse engineering thread.

I did address this. I said it didn't belong here. It should've been in a different section, at the least. Yes, this thread is a waste because of the numerous threads already there.
This still does not stop VZW from monitoring your data use and charging you for it.
The hotspot is still configured to reconnect using the Tethered NAI and is therefore clearly distinguished by the network as external data use.
This is going to take some digging into the OS to figure out and may simply be impossible due to the way network authentication works now for LTE devices.
Users really need to understand that the game has changed in some very fundamental ways regarding tethering on VZW and all the carrier's for that matter.
I've used like 4 times for short period of time and by now nothing changed

I think that what cellzealot is saying is that even though the hack allows tethering and does not show he Verizon page about tethering, Verizon can clearly see the difference in data usage. Whether or not they will act on it right now is yet to be determined. But the important thing to know is that youvare easily tracked.

Im kind of the boat with these other guys. Is there any way to prove that Verizon can't track this and nail you for it later?
Sent from my DB using XDA premium.
What kind of proof are you looking for? The Bionic hasn't been released for a month yet to even see what their response might be to un entitled use of the Hotspot app.
I have already explained in detail in the other thread started by zedomax why this is detectable and why his video showing the RadioComm method of editing the NVM the same way as was done for EvDO devices is both completely ineffective and dangerous.
If you want proof look at the NVM yourself and see the new authentication strings that are different hardware ID elements and different strings than previous non LTE phones.
If you understand network data authentication you will clearly see why this is openly detectable and is using the tethered NAI to distinguish the Hotspot data use.
What don't you see that you need to? If they want to charge you for it they have the means in place t determine precisely when and for how long you were connected and exactly how much data was used during that period.
So how do we get the EPST menu to change the NAI like I did on my old incredible?

Is only the bionic trackable or no matter what phone I use I will be tracked?

If this is true, then i should have gotten charged for the 3+gb data i been using for the past 4 months because of the wireless tether...

What device have you been tethering on for the past 4 months?
My statements are regarding the Bionic which hasn't even been out for a month yet.
Have you been using the Hotspot app or other means of wifi tethering?
Sorry I'm not trying to bring back this thread but I found a D3 at my work that looks like its repairable but they'll scrap out. Me and my fiancee are on at&t and she's needing a new phone so I was wondering if anyone ever got the work around to throw a sim from another us carrier into this bad boy. Sorry for posting in development I didn't see a Q&A section. Thanks forum!

Ok, so here's the skinny. I'm not an active member, but have been around longer than most. I have experience with a lot of what most of us (xda community) attempt with our devices. I recently acquired a bionic and lapdock which works beautifully with my MoPho. However, I have this Bionic just sitting here, and I cannot do anything with it (yet). I'm offering support to those who are working on a bootloader unlock, or will even take on this task myself if those who are/were working on it will catch me up to speed. Contact me, let's share notes, compare ideas, etc.
I think there may have been one or more efforts/projects to attempt this.
Here's a thread mentioning a bounty/donate and details checking ota servers, and ended a little silly.

Thank you for responding. I aware of the Cheesecake attempts and the bounty. That's why I made a new thread requesting those who were once part of or actively working on this project to contact me. TBH members, Hash, etc. anyone who knows the full scoop on it. There is more than one way to skin a cat, and I may know of a better approach.
