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?

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

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

Thanks for posting it, but I don't think it's going to work for me. Pretty sure it's only for kitkat and I'm still on JB. Kind of a bummer, the new update allows you to disable vibration and I've been wanting that option since day one, but not at the expense of having to ditch JB. Oh well. Thanks again.

I really, REALLY don't like kitkat. JB on my moto x is perfect and there is absolutely nothing that can be improved upon, at least IMO. Kitkat is just visually unappealing to me and doesn't offer any performance upgrades so I'm staying on JB. Just wish this active notifications update worked on JB but alas, I can't have my cake and eat it too.

Well I have kitkat on my N5 so I'm more than used to it. I'm really angry at Google for ditching the futuristic, Tron-ish look that JB has. Holo blue is gorgeous, especially on the amoled display of the X. Kitkat white is just... meh.
I have the att version so no unlockable BL. I don't care so much because stock + xposed has been wonderful for me. My X is superfast, fluid as hell, and has a battery that just refuses to die. I'm perfectly happy with it the way it is

Is this app in the playstore? I can't find it.
edit: nvm, found it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.motorola.aon
However, after updating, I still don't have vibration control in the settings.
edit2: nvm, found it: you have to disable it from the global "Vibrate on touch" setting.
As many of you may know by now, Google rolled out the ability to play 1080p YouTube on 1080p Android devices. However, most Nexus 5s, and countless other 1080p phones don't have this functionality. It's seemingly random, but it isn't. Why, you ask?
Because ONLY Android versions 4.4.2 and L get this luxury. How do I know this? Well, I've tested this on almost half a dozen different Android phones.
Enabling 1080p (and 480p) playback in YouTube is frustratingly simple, and WORKS ON ALL 1080P ANDROID DEVICES WITH YOUTUBE v5.7+!!
So let's get into it! FYI, you need ROOT for this tweak:
First,
------ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR BUILD.PROP BEFORE EDITING IT-----
I'm not responsible if anything goes wrong on your phone. This is dead simple though, and if you create a backup there should be no problems
1: Open your build.prop file, and find this line:
"ro.build.version.release=x.x.x"
(With "x.x.x" being your current Android version number)
2: Then, replace that "x.x.x" with "4.4.2". The line should look exactly like this, (without quotes of course):
"ro.build.version.release=4.4.2"
3: Save, then reboot your phone.
4: Open up YouTube, play a 1080p video, and select 1080p from the resolution menu.
5: Profit
Note that this will make Settings and all other apps think you're on 4.4.2. However, your phone will still be on whatever version you started with (this isn't just gonna magically upgrade your OS XD). In order to revert back to stock (you must temporarily revert back to install OTAs), restore your build.prop backup or simply change "x.x.x" back to what it was before.
--If this helped you please leave a Like and share it with your friends! If you do mention it somewhere, please give me/this thread credit --
EDIT: So far, I've only posted this on here and the OnePlus forums (under the same username).
UPDATE: According to a couple people on the forums, Google has fixed the issue on their side so that you can see 1080p regardless of your Android version. Unfortunately, my only device now (the LG G3) is still on 4.4.2 so I can't test it. Also, I'll leave this guide up in case anyone still has issues

When I had the Developer Preview on my Nexus, 1080p was an option by default, so I couldn't say. There's no reason why it shouldn't work, though

So this also explains why updating to 4.4.3 on the M8 removes the 1080p option. Stupid Google!

Very nice catch
Just to clarify, this is a Google issue? Reason I ask is that would explain why the G3 is beginning to get the 1440p option due to the screen but why haven't Google enabled their own phone? It makes no sense...
I get 1080p without messing with it lol.

4.4.4 isn't on the M8 yet (they say they've rolled the security updates into 4.4.3 but hmmmm) but on my Nexus 5 running 100% stock 4.4.4 I only get 720p (I don't root my phones any more so although this information is good it doesn't help me!)

Lol weird i wonder why not for 4.4.3/4 so if you want to use it without changing build.prop then you need an modded youtube app right? Nice thread btw i didnt knew about it since i was still using on kitkat the old youtube v4 app. Another thing to do when i have time is looking into the youtube app and maybe find some hidden stuff
I tried this on Mahdi ROM. It just makes the 1080p option show up in the settings, but I cannot switch to it.

This is a glitch on some ROMs (from my understanding you tap it but the bubble doesn't fill in?), but in my experience it does in fact play 1080p, just not fill in the selection in settings. It may be very difficult to notice the shift in resolution, but I'd try pausing on some text and changing it around. If it actually doesn't change, then I'm guessing it's a problem with the ROM (or even theme for CyanogenMod in some cases).

What are you trying to use it through? I have tried the option under settings>display but I guess this option is only for DLNA devices. I saw there was a mirroring app but since I have verizon I do not currently have root with this device.
Please let me know if you get it to screen cast because I've also been searching around for a bit.

I can obviously do it with things like Netflix and Hulu.
What I want it for is Amazon instant video. As it doesn't support Chromecast.
I guess the Nexus 4 and some other devices can mirror their screen with A Chromecast. But I guess not the X.
I'm on Verizon as well.
Google hasnt enabled this option for the Moto X yet. The only devices with this working right now are Galaxy Flagship phones, Nexus lineup and HTC One M8. I dont know why they didnt enable it for us. We will have to wait for Lollipop (which comes with this enabled by default). It is a server side thing, so there is nothing you can do right now
If you have root, you can try this:

Galaxy devices are supported? Would my old S4 be able to screen mirror to the chromecast then? I haven't noticed anything -> but maybe I just need to pop on a new ROM for the feature.

Upgraded to lollipop on my VZW X and cast to screen doesn't work even though it's showing in quick settings. Netflix, Google play movies etc. work but not cast to screen.
It works perfectly on my N7. Did VZW cripple it or is it just a matter of an app update?

If you look around on the innernets you can probably find a file called media-browser-simulator.apk which is the AA "viewer". It runs on 5.0 and above.

It's on one of Google's developer sites and it's as awful as the first version released around November because it IS still the same version.
At Google IO they said they'd release a better one later this year.
