What did the FCC settle with Verizon Wireless? So we've put together this FAQ to help you understand what it means. But figuring out who exactly benefits isn't so straightforward. The agreement may save some Verizon Wireless subscribers $20 a month. The dev's didn't seem to be in a rush to get it fixed.The Federal Communications and Verizon Wireless agreed to a $1.25 million settlement that will also allow Verizon subscribers to use their smartphones as Wi-Fi hotspots at no extra charge. My Epic 4G Touch on Sprint (aka Galaxy S2) would never work in access point mode, only ad-hoc, which sucked. It's also very picky about handset selection.
I'm pretty sure it just changes the user agent, since webpages, even on a desktop, come up as mobile pages. PDANet also has a "hide usage" mode which supposedly blocks the carriers from finding out that your tethered. PDANet always works, I may fork out the cash to get https working. I preferred FoxFi since I could keep it fed with a 1A wall charger, at which point it would actually charge and not just stay neutral.īoth work, I preferred FoxFi for the above reasons, but it no longer wants to work on my device.
Also, if I'm hammering it hard with constant high throughput 4G usage, the 500ma it's getting over USB keeps the battery "neutral", sometimes even losing a percent every hour. Makes phone calls and walking around the house, while still having intarwebs impossible. Wired connection is also a bummer since the handset is now physically tethered to the machine. I've since switched back to PDANet which works great, but the free version doesn't allow for http s which can suck, badly. About a week ago it stopped working though and even after 2 emails, no reply from their support.
Not Verizon, but I've been using FoxFi for quite sometime and it was great, I even bought their unlock code (when they basically updated and forced you to buy it).
