HotSpot and Tethering option

So iOS4.3 will have HotSpot function in GSM versions...I talked to AT&T, I currently have a Unlimited Data plan...If I want to get HotSpot/Tethering i will get the 4GB plan for $45...So I asked if I didnt like the HotSpot/Tethering and cancel can I go back to unlimited? They said No you get the 2GB plan...
Is that realy the case? Anybody cancelled their thethering plan?

Yes, that is true. If you change out of the (grandfathered) unlimited plan for any reason, you can't go back to it, ever...

  • Droid 3 Hotspot and Tethering Issues

    Ok so I got setup to use my Droid3 for Internet connectivity and used it on several devices several times.  It's been weeks now and I've tried everything, no devices work with either hotspot or tethering.

        That must be frustrating dbianculli! I'm here to help you fix this. Do you get any error messages when attempting to enable the hotspot? I suggest pulling the battery out to restart the device.  I also suggest clearing the cache on your Mobile Hotspot App. Go to settings> applications> manage apps> all> Mobile Hotspot> clear cache/data/force stop. Retest after completing those steps and let us know how it goes.
    I'm happy to help further if you find that unsuccessful. Keep us posted!

  • Disable Wi-Fi on 4620L Hotspot while tethered to laptop

    Is there a way to disable all RF transmission from the 4620L hotspot when tethered via USB to a laptop?  Turning off SSID broadcast.only disables the broadcast.  I can still connect to the 4620L via wi-fi from any device that has been manually configured with the SSID.  There are times when I want no RF transmissions from the 4620L -- an environmental issue, not a security issue.

        You found a great question AJ500. And thanks for the help John & noshooz. Weth was right though, there's not a way to turn off all RF transmission of the 4620L without turning off the entire device (which would make it impossible to connect through WiFi or tethering). Turning off the Broadcast SSID was a great start to avoiding random other devices from finding your Jetpack, but the option to connect will still be there as long as the Jetpack is powered on.
    Thanks for trying to look out for your environment.

  • Disconnect Device through Hotspot and can no longer connect

    I recently disconnected a Windows 7 device through the "Connected Devices" option on the Verizon Hotspot. After disconnecting that Windows 7 device I am no longer able to connect through the Verizon Hotspot. I have removed and added back the hotspot profile in Windows 7 and can still not connect.  I can still however, connect to other devices on the Verizon hotspot.  I receive a simple error message in  Windows 7 to verify the encryption settings even those encryption settings are properly set to WPA2.  It appears that both devices appear to be out of synch.  Has anyone experienced this with other Verizon 4G LTE hotspots?  I generally just disconnect the device or turn off the hotspot when disconnecting however, I did not see any hard whatsoever in disconnecting the device through the hotspot "Connected Devices" option.  Any help would be greatly appreciated as I need to get one of my business laptops that use Windows 7 back online..

    If it's encryption Windows 7 is speaking of, make sure in the wireless adapter settings configuration that not only is on the correct WPA2 as you stated but the encryption matches, such as AES or TKIP.
    Otherwise, removing the connection from the Preferred Wireless Networks list and resetting the device should allow a fresh new start.

  • Instant hotspot and continuity in iOS 8

    Hi everyone, I hope somebody can enlighten on the following:
    The day iOS 8 was launched, I installed it both on my iPhone 5 and iPad Air.
    I tested a few features, among them instant hotspot that worked remarkably well. I could see my phone's name in the iPad's wifi screen, just tap on it that it would turn hotspot on in the iPhone, lock the ipad and it would turn it off, flawless.
    Handoffs worked equally well, and I noticed that both devices (the iPhone and the iPad) had a bluetooth pair to each other, that could not be removed. In fact, since I had paired my devices before upgrading, I had two pairs, one could be removed, the other could not. I also noticed that as soon as I open the messages app or the email app on either device a bluetooth connection would be established automatically and the app icon would show on the other device lock screen.
    So far so good but, I got an iPhone 6, and got rid of my iPhone 5. The iPhone 6 was by default named Ricardo's iPhone, like my old device. Two weird things happened.
    1) I had two bluetooth devices named Ricardo's iPhone on my iPad, neither of them could be forgotten.
    2) The instant hotspot feature stopped working.
    I figured out that the iPad was seeing my old device, so I changed the name of my new iPhone to Ricardo's iPhone 6, just to distinguish them. Here is what happened.
    1) I still have two iphones as paired bluetooth devices, but named Ricardo's iPhone and Ricardo's iPhone 6, not too big of a deal but annoying nonetheless.
    2) More serious, my iPad still sees my old iPhone (e.g. Ricardo's iPhone) for instant hotspot, and does not see the new one (Ricardo's iPhone 6).
    3) I can see my iPhone 6 the old way, if I turn hotspot on, I can see Ricardo's iPhone in the list of wifi network and I can connect to it, I tried that and enter the password hoping the iPad would recognize it, but not, still sees the old one.
    I tried rebooting both devices, resetting network settings but no luck. I am thinking that I probably need to restore the iPad to fix this problem but it would be indeed annoying if every time you have a new device this happens.
    For now, I am waiting for iOS 8.0.2 (after it has been PROPERLY tested) hoping that I least the installation will fix this, but Apple needs to fix this.

    No its not their, I can see cellular options but hotspot option is missing. Attached are the screenshots.

  • How many Samsung Stratosphere users do not have reliable network connectivity using hotspot or tethering?

    I am on my 3rd phone in as little as 9 months because I have never been able to stay on the network using the hotspot or tethering. The network keeps disappearing and coing back on. I am in a 4 g area and right across the street from a main Verizon store. My antennae strength is full and my 4g indicator is on but it disappears so much that I cannot rely on network service with my phone. I actually went out and purchased a 4g aircard and that works just fine so I know its the phone and not the network. Its funny I keep getting put back into this phone when its the phone that has the problem. My salesman said after the 3rd phone you will be upgraded to the next best phone so hopefully Motorola Driod 4 will be the key top reliable network connectivity. I wish I knew how widespread this is or has been. I realize not a majority of Stratosphere users probably dont use the hotspot or tethering much but I use it or try to on a daily basis. I love the phone but not the hotspot or tethering capabilities. My newest phone never got any new apps or anything put on and it had problems outta the box.

    This phone SUCKS period.  I have only had it since July 27 and it has NEVER worked well.  I was never told (of course other than small print) that I had two weeks to return and get a totally different phone if not happy. So the 15th day I found that out. They pulled my sim card it worked better for about one week. Than back to crap.  So, I did a factory reset as they told me to. It worked for about another 2 weeks maybe. Now back to the same old thing again.  Drops calls ALL THE TIME with full network strength I can here them they cannot here. Goes back to factory defaults all the time. Starts not ringing and going only into voice mail. Freezes up where you cannot even shut off, you have to take the battery out. Also, constantly loses connectivity even though it is showing 4G and all bars too.
    Went in again to discuss this with them just today.  HMM, first, if you go back to comolaints this has been a main complaint of this phone for a huge percentage of customers.  Hmm, they are still selling it as a GREAT phone, that is what they said to me, ohhhh, no problems.  Today they looked it up and supposabley says Samsung as of July 30th is aware of this problem and now has 90 days to fix it.  Current fix. They SAY, pull the battery out EVERY night.  Stuck with phone will not replace with a different model. Only same model. SUCKS...Oh and Verizon rep says to me " we are only the cell service. All warranty's are through your Samsung."  Funny thing is. WHY are they still selling it on their shelf.  I feel like sending a spy into tomorrow to same store and find out if they push the phone on them...BUSTED, I am sure they will.  Meanwhile, it sure puts bumps in the road for our livelyhood if our only phone.  Not work the retail value, so not buying my own phone to replace YET.
    Good luck....Hopefully your third time is the charm and you will finally get a replacement for this Piece of CRAP.

  • Will tethering work without tethering "option"?

    Will tethering on iPhone 4 work without the more expensive tethering "option" from AT&T?
    Isn't it just a cable from the phone to your iMac that does the trick?
    I don't have an iPhone yet, just wondering...
    Thanks.

    Tethering is a carrier feature and the option to tether will only appear in settings if your carrier supports tethering. Carriers charge for the use of this feature & yes, AT&T charges accordingly. You can tether either by bluetooth or USB cable. So no, its not a simple matter of connecting a cable. You first have to sign up for tethering.

  • Lost Tethering option

    Hello, first time I looked for the tethering option after upgrading my iPhone 3GS to iOS 4, and this is not available! Please take a look here:
    http://twitpic.com/2358ac
    Did the Tethering option move to another menu? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
    Thanks

    The tethering option is added/removed by the carrier update (the .ipcc file). On my phone (o2 UK) there was a new carrier update when I installed iOS4 on my 3G iPhone. Has yours installed the carrier update as well?
    It is possible to do it manually but you need to download the restore package of iOS4 which includes the carrier file or the actual carrier file on its own... I'm not sure if thats an approved method of updating so I won't tell you where to get the files.
    Hold down shift and click update in iTunes to select the location of an update.
    OR
    Vodafone Greece have decided that tethering is no longer an option. Maybe contact them directly and see if this is the case.
    Also, check if the MMS settings are still available - These were also updates in a carrier file. If these a problem maybe they won't be there as well.

    Hello SHenoudabak,
    It sounds like you are trying to find the Personal Hotspot option in your Settings. You were close. The option is directly under Settings, and not in the Cellular section of Settings:
    Go to Settings > Personal Hotspot

  • After installing or upgrading to Firefox 31, starting Firefox does not show homepage, customize shows a blank page and the option button does not work

    I am the Windows admin for a university department and install PCs with Firefox all the time. This problem does not happen with every PC I maintain, only a select few (different model laptops with Windows 8.1 and update 1.) Until today, it only happened with new user accounts (with admin rights) that I setup on the laptops for our staff. Today this happened with The Administrator account while setting up a new laptop. In all cases so far, I install Windows from a saved image that was created using sysprep.
    I have tried the many suggestions of resetting Firefox, deleting the users Firefox profile, deleting the users Windows profile, uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox, uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox and the latest Java, but nothing helps. After uninstalling, I run an app to delete temp files and caches and will even manually remove registry keys HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mozilla and HKCU\SOFTWARE\Mozilla. Plus I reboot and make sure the install folder is deleted after uninstall.
    Results are the same: after installing Firefox 31, the initial setup window for migrating IE and/or Chrome pops up and after clicking the Finish button, Firefox starts, but does not show the initial new user page, only a blank page. Clicking on the Options button (3 bars) does nothing. Right-clicking in the proper area, the popup menu appears so I can choose to Customize, but that only opens another tab with about:customize in the URL and the page is blank. From the right-click popup menu, I can enable the Menu Bar and get to Options from that.
    My latest attempt has helped a little. I uninstalled Firefox 31, cleaned up, deleted user Firefox profile, rebooted and then installed Firefox 30. Inital startup runs, and tells me I'm not up to date, and the Options button works. But I still cannot customize.
    I then upgraded to Firefox 31, but then it's back to no startup page, no options button and no customize. I can downgrade to 30 and get all but customize working again.
    Only Addon is one for McAfee Scriptscan for Firefox 15.1.0, which just after installing is disabled.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Ok. I disabled hardware acceleration. The only extension is the McAfee Scriptscan for Firefox 15.1.0, which was already disabled. I then disabled all plugins (Acrobat, Google Update, Intel Identity Protection (2x), Java Deployment Toolkit, Java Platform, MS Office 2013, Quicktime, Shockwave, Silverlight), which were all up to date.
    Normal or safe mode still has same result. No startup, no option button and no customize.
    Thanks for your help. Got any other suggestions?

    Hi mafiose15,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
    How to restore iPod
    Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
    Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
    Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
    After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
    Click Restore.
    If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
    A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
    Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
    Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
    During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
    Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
    You can find the instructions in this article:
