How do you setup the Mobile Hotspot?

I bet it is in the big online user manual, but how does a person setup the Mobile Hotspot on the Thunderbolt? I haven't had a chance to download the manual yet.
Since the Hotspot is free until May 15th, I thought I would at least try this feature on the phone. My Eris didn't officially support it. There was no way I was going to try it on the Aria.
So could anyone help a Hotspot noobie out?

Ann,
I've only had my TB for about 4 days, but I'll tell you how I connect. First, if you don't have it yet, download LTE OnOff here. LTE OnOff If this doesn't work, copy and paste this URL: https://market.android.com/details?id=net.andirc.lteonfoff&feature=search_result This will allow you to turn the 4G on and off. Leaving it on all the time drains your battery quickly, so I just turn it on while I have my computer connected, then switch back to the regular 3G when I'm through using the computer.
Open the LTE OnOff program and click CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto. Then got to Settings>Wireless and networks>Mobile network and make sure that is checked. Then while still iin Wireless & networks, turn on Mobile Hotspot. I have LTE OnOff, Mobile network and Mobile Hotspot all together on one page of my phone so I can turn them all on without having to go into settings each time.
On your computer, open Networks and hopefully it will have found the TB Mobile Hotspot. If it asks for information, enter the info from the Mobil Hotspot settings and with any luck you'll get connected.
When you are through using your computer, be sure to turn off the Mobil Hotspot, or it will eat your battery. I always leave my TB connected to the USB port of the computer to keep the phone charged up while I'm surfing.
Like I said, I've only had mine for about 4 days, so if I left anything out, hopefullly someone will correct me.
Hope that works
Pat

How much data does the mobile hotspot use?

I am trying to figure out how much data the mobile hotspot will use? I do not have a lot of data on my plan and don't want to go over. Any ideas?

Hi wenfam!
That's a great question! Data usage can differ depending on how the device is used. Here's a helpful link on how to monitor the usage: http://is.gd/52jiNm ^CB

How can it be the Mobile Hotspot feature worked, failed, and then worked again?

I am having a love hate relationship with my Galaxy S3. The latest experience happened when I arrived at the beach expecting to connect to the Internet through a mobile hotspot established on my Galaxy S III; but that was not to be. When I turned on my Macbook it could not find the mobile hotspot named Cavanaugh established a half hour earlier with help from a Verizon Wireless Sales Consultant, and all devices were allowed to connect. What could cause this inconsistency!
I went home and as I customarily do I plugged my cell phone into its charger. The battery had 44% capacity left, I like to recharge to 100% at the end-of-day, so I recharged the cell phone to 100%. Guess what? With the cell phone battery fully charged the mobile hot appeared on my notebook, and I connected the notebook to the Internet through the cell phone.
Has anyone else had a similar experience? How much battery juice is needed to run mobile hotspot?

While I am unsure how much battery is "needed" to run the hotspot, the battery WILL drain faster when the hotspot is active. Quite possibly, the phone will deactivate the hotspot when the battery falls below a certain level.
This is the reason I ONLY have my hotspot turned on when I want to use it. I don't see a reason to have it active when not using it, along with the "possibility" of someone hijacking my signal in order to use my data stream without having to pay for it.

How do you setup the Mail app with iCloud on an eMac?

I have recently made an iCloud account on my iPad- includng a free "@me.com" email address, which I've been longing for! I do, however, have the old Apple eMac and would like to set up my "@me.com" email address. When I go to set it up, there is (on the pull down menu) ".Mac", which did not work, "IMAP", and "POP". I know iCloud cannot use "POP", so is there any way to do "IMAP" and how? Please help!

For some reason, it won't connect to SMTP. I can get emails, but I can't write any. You said to do each port, but there is nothing asking for each port. I need help with the Mail application for Mac OS X v. 10.4.11 (Tiger). Can you help? The attached pics are the steps I've done...
(Above) I filled in all it asks....
(Above) Then I filled this in- I am trying to do it without typing "imap.mail.me.com" becuase if you see, it says "Example: mail.example.com"... (Below) It has failed...
-NOW I WILL DO "imap.mail.me.com"- (Below)
(Above) Then it gives me a pull-down list to choose from for the Outgoing Mail Server, so I just type: "smtp.mail.me.com" (below)....THEN YOU GET THE ERROR!

Ha Amanda! First, you'll want to make sure your line has been provisioned for Mobile Hotspot service. You can add the feature to allow you to share up to 2 GB of data for 5 other devices for $20.00 per month. Once that is confirmed, please follow these steps to set up your device's mobile hotspot:
Settings> Wireless & Networks> Tethering & Portable hotspot> Portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings> check mark next to Portable Wi-Fi hotspot. This will disable all other data access so that the data usage is allocated correctly. When finished using your Xperia Play as a hotspot, remove the check mark from Portable Wi-Fi hotspot.

You'll find the software you're looking for here:

However, say for example you install this on your iMac G4 or Windows XP PC (you'll need to get the link for that one yourself), are you planning to try to share the drive with an iBook or other non-MacBook Air computer? If this is your case, I'm not shure if it can be done with that software. I'll need to get back to you on that one.
