[GUIDE] How to Get Free Wifi Tether on Droid Bionic!

So, here's a way you can get FREE wifi tethering/mobile hotspot on your Droid Bionic so you don't have to pay Verizon twice for the same internet you are already paying for. I don't know why Verizon would block this feature especially when you consider that there's a 2GB cap on your mobile internet usage anyways.
<MOD EDIT>

We don't have a 2GB cap. I've been over 2GB's a month for almost a year without any issues.

we don't?

We don't? I thought we did, that's good news for me.

Two gig limit is for anyone that was not grandfatherd in. Data plans now have limits and different caps.

<MOD EDIT>

I am grandfathered in, Verizon throttles you once you reach 5gigs while on 3G, but they haven't been able to throttle 4G still, enjoy it while it lasts, I am at >3 gigs so far this month, and that is with no tethering!

im trying to do this but i have windows 7. for some reason the usb is not recognized by my comp... also do u have the latest readiocomm for me it says that mine is 2 month old

Hello
Just put my N1 back to Gingerbread 2.3.6 and now I cannot make or receive calls or send messages. My sim card is working fine because I have taken it out of my N1 and have used it in my other back up phone with no trouble. I have also taken my son sim card out of his phone and put it into my N1 and still get the same thing.
When the sim card is in the N1 and the phone boots up, it says Emergency calls only up in the notification area. When I try to go to the key pad, and dial a number, I get an error message stating Mobile Network Not Available. Not sure why this is. My account is up to date and is registered on the network according to ATT when I call them.
Anyone who can point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate. Thank you so much.

Check your apn settings. Search if you don't know how.

i dont kn ow what he means... it is the same radio. the link you posted is the right thing you need to flash. if you followed the directions and the bootloader actually flashed it, i dont see how there can be any problems, i think maybe a hardware issue? try cleaning the Sim slot or something?

You might have posted the same with a tiny bit less useless headline.
First question: do you have TMO or AT&T N1 version?
In any case, disregard the "wrong radio" answer, it's wrong. The radios are the same. The APNs are also not the culprit, so disregard that too. The phone doesn't lie - you don't have cellular connection, and you need to find the reason for it.

There are no different radio firmwares for AT&T and T-Mobile to flash, they use exactly the same firmware. And don't start arguing, because you're wrong. Maybe you should check out the wiki first..
The only difference between the two are the radio frequencies they use, but that has nothing to do with firmware version (in case of our Nexus One).

Nah i'm just kiddin you bro. But i srsly read somewhere that there was radio difference.

There isn't, as there aren't different radios (baseband builds) to begin with. The same OTA/PASSIMG firmware update applies to both TMO and AT&T phones in exactly the same way, and this firmware contains baseband update - directly from Google. So you won't find any provider-specific radios. The only thing is that Korean N1 has a newer radio, since it had a newer build release. And this radio also works for both.

Sometimes there's an error retrieving the status of just a single country's status. Refreshing the whole thing just to refresh that seems like a burden on your server to me. Maybe have a little refresh icon next to each country in the list that refreshes the status only for that country? Just a suggestion.
Good job though, thanks!

Nice

Also a feature to add a number of seconds/minutes to automatically refresh. ( most of us know how to do it but a suggestion is a suggestion! )
Also a "notify me" when availiable thingy might be nice. Not with e-mails or anything like that....with rss or a sound maybe?

One thing that comes to mind is a direct link to the device in the Play Store. Or maybe it does this when one is actually in stock?

Thanks ! I just wish that it showed that the nexus was in stock. I now know that I can not buy it anywhere in the world.

There's already a mailer set up for 5 emails , but it uses php function's send() which works REALLY slow on my server and it would be useless with more than 10 emails. I'm looking for other solutions anyway. Thanks for the tip.

A direct link could be very easy to implement but useless as you need to be under the country's IP to view it, and relying on web proxy to link it seems not praticable to me.
EDIT: please advise this as Newsworthy thread (if you wish)!

Updated with "Sort by country" option : http://ludalex.soupwhale.com/n4checker/ - hope you'll find it useful.

Could you perhaps color the availability status? Green for In Stock and Red for Out of Stock?
Makes it easier to see when further away.
Thanks
EDIT: Perhaps you could create direct links to the Items as well.

Wow brother its nice, BTW when i clicks on main refresh button it shows me one result but when i click on specific country refresh button it shows me different result..why so ?

So does this auto refresh or is this just an easy way for us to click the refresh button and check?

Thanks, but how is this better than going to https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_4_16gb

It happens when you switch country/device too fast, not giving the time to the previous selection to load.

Its possible the phones will go on sale again by region Australia then Europe then USA /Canada based on timezones. In this case it would give some advanced warning.
Some people are trying to buy out with their own country this means they don't need to have proxy etc set up all the time.

Quick Settings in Settings App

Is there a way to turn off the Quick Settings at the top of the Settings app?

Exactly, what are you referring to? The gear shaped button at top right in the drop down notification panel, or the quick settings tiles, or what?

Can you post a screenshot?
My Note 5 on MM had it but my Note 8 on N doesn't.

At the top of the SETTINGS menu. See attached screenshot.

That doesn't look like stock...

Your settings look absolutely different from my settings, what model is yours? Looks like a different phone!

That is a Note 8, model number SM-N950U (Verizon).
If you hit the 3 menu button in the top right corner, select "Standard List". I bet your all's phone is on "Simplified List" for the settings menu.

I know that option from earlier phones, but on my unbranded N950U1 the 3 dots are not available in settings...

I didn't have them until I had to do a factory reset last weekend.

I never had the 3 dot for changing the style, I Did 2 factory resets for some unrelated issues with an app, but nothing changed

Ok, I can live without it - not looking forward to factory reset ?

Probably has a clone.

Must be a Verizon thing. My N950F (XEF unbranded) doesn't look like that & neither do my parents' N950U (TMO). Verizon is always trying to make their apps/features different from the rest.
Again, my TMO Note 5 on Marshmallow had quick settings like that but there was no way to turn it completely off.

Well if I have a clone Verizon screwed up. I got it at a Verizon store new in the box.

See attached screen shot of my About Phone section. I'm on 7.1.1 with 1/1/18 security patch.

Yup, it's a Verizon thing......
I changed the following line to VZW & sure enough it looked liked the OP's menu.
<CscFeature_Setting_ConfigOpMenuStructure>TMB</CscFeature_Setting_ConfigOpMenuStructure>
So if you're rooted change the line above to a CSC code other than VZW (but when I changed it to VZW it also changed my data indicator icon back to stock international even though I have it set to LTE).
