Hi people,
Recently went to the market, and I tried downloading Green Power. It claimed to be able to work with 2.3.3
However, I don't see it toggling 3G automatically.
Has anyone managed to get it working?

If you are connected to a wireless network the app doesn't use your data connection. Try running the app with your wireless off or turn off your router. You'll see it working then.

Huh I thought the main objective of the app is to turn off the 3G when its not in use?
What's the point of turning off the wifi or router?

I use an app called "Network Switcher" which seems to work well on my Nexus S

Just tried network switcher ... sometimes it doesn't return me 3G connection ..

I got this yesterday it does switch off the 3g so I think its been working. Although there were a few times when I switch RH screen on and off too quickly that it takes 10 seconds o so before 3g comes back
So far its been good using greenpower can update later

The reason I said to turn off wifi/router was so he could see if the app was turning on/off his 3g connection properly; that being his question

Alright its been a few days and I can safely say that green power is working out awesome for me
If I just leave the phone alone it last a lot longer I'd estimate it to using around 10-20% battery judging by the percentage reported by the phone

For some reason I can't uncheck the 2g only option in network settings. I m stock GB rooted.

That would be correct. WiFi uses the GSM network and not the 4G. You may not want to turn off the WiFi to keep your data usage in check. When you leave the WiFi area it will revert back to the 4G network and the use 2G will be unchecked.
Is there a region lock or anything in regards to the wifi on this tablets? Or anything that might be a compatibility issue in mexico?
I am going there this christmas and would rather take my tablet rather than my laptop and last time when the tf101 was on gingerbread it didn't work in mexico on wifi.

tf101 never had gingerbread... and im not sure you might want to check which band your wifi is on. if its above 11 i think you need to change your wifi settings to europe
Okay honeycomb lol same difference

I don't currently have my tablet with me, but where is the band setting located exactly?

Unlimited 4g. I'm sure you've all heard about it. I went and checked it out. Apparently the only catch is you can't hotspot. But since I'm rooted and running cm7 I should be able to still use hotspot with a third party app, right?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
Tethering is built into cm7, no need for an app.. and you might need to change the user agent on the device you tether so you don't get the tmobile redirect.

I am on the unlimited 4g, if I use Firefox, default settings, it seems to work fine. IE blows in the first place, but for the sake of mentioning it, and doesn't work, routes everything to a page telling me to buy tethering. I can also torrent just fine. I guess part of it is just the port it's set to listen on, 80, and if there is activity on other ports, so what.
Edit: also, SSL sites work.

I use the hotspot for my laptop and my lady's g2x. She is on the monthly 4g I'm not concerned with using my laptop, it's her g2x that worries me. I don't see how tmobile would catch on. But I wanted to run it by you guys before switching and potentially voiding my contract

so what your saying here is that if i switch to the New Unlimited Nationwide 4g data package i wont be able to tether my tablet to my phone?
That's what they told me but (I may be wrong) if you are using a custom rom or just rooted with a thrid party hotspot app tmobile want be able to detect or stop you, right?

So far it's not given me a problem at all.

Nevermind catching a tmobile redirect on my laptop. Working on getting around it

I use Google Chrome & change the user agent. Give that a go.
How do you do that without an add-on
I figured it out. I sometimes forget Google answers all.

bit the bullet and switch to the unlimited 4g plan and i havent had any problems with surfing the web or streaming media on my tablet tethered to my phone. i have gtab 2 with cm10 and g2x with cm7.
Okay guys, it seems like no matter what i do, I can't get the WiFi tethering to work. I tried all the apps from the play store, and the built in tethering in the settings. It would make the hotspot, but when I connect to it, it can't connect to the internet for some reason. Any ideas? I'm running AOKP.
Thanks

Have you tried the new apn route?
What browser are you trying to use?
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
Google chrome.
What's this new APN?
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
Just create a new apn, cl it whatever you want, and where it says apn put epc.tmobile.com
Try firefox instead if you can, tethering seems to work better on firefox
