[Q] Tethering with current version - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
I'm thinking of buying a nexus s. Is it possible to tether over wifi with the current version? This would be a must have feature for me.
thx

It depends. What carrier? Do you plan on rooting?

I was thinking about buying it from amazon germany.
I just heard that in newer versions (2.3.5+) tethering is completely removed by google. Was this just a temporary thing and it was added again in the latest version?

I have the European version with 2.3.6 and it works just fine.

I think there was only one update that messed up tethering. an update has been released that fixes that issue. the phone also comes with native tethering so you should be able to tether no matter which network you're one

Easytether still works perfectly on the NS4G on 2.3.7 unrooted

They never said it was removed. It was inadvertently broken with the initial 2.3.6 update or made to function within the carrier's parameters (e.g: Sprint's check for PAM when using libsec-ril from 2.3.5).

ok thanks for the info...

Really it's only Sprint and possibly At&t. T-Mobile can still tether without issues.

I am running easytether on a stock unrooted sprint nexus s v2.3.7 tethering 4g and 3g without a problem.

Telus i9020A user with ota 2.3.6 K39F update and my tethering is fine. I think this is all carrier based. Telus doesn't charge for tethering.

I believe there is one flashable zip for this in the development section. It is a zip that had a few other items like sip in it. It was right in the title I believe
looks for euro Xoom only though

Yeah sorry I know it was included on an old tiamat ROM release but they took it out of the newest version. Maybe pm solarnz to ask if he has something

Then you would wish you had a nexus s when icecream sandwich comes out and 5 months later you still haven't received the update. I do agree it is a sweet phone.

The Nexus S 4G is a CDMA fone. CDMA fones do not use sim cards. Also boost does not take out side esn's so to get it on boost u need to change the esn(its illegal). But Google is ur friend!

Because its like IMEI, you could use it to get past blocks, or in the case of esn, use it on another network that only allows there devices on it

Yes, however the only way to get this update from Verizon has been if you purchased or received a GSIII with an updated sticker on the box. It hasn't been pushed as an OTA yet though.

I got a S3 today and it has G1 on it. I would be listed under received for free, becuase the ICS OTA update killed flash player on my razr.
I wish I knew G1 Vs old build, but so far every thing has been good. ( That GPS is very fast and it hold's on to 4G well + wifi works very well. I have never seen a phone get that kind of speed from wifi.)

I wouldn't bother. F2 is better. Has full search functionality and other than that there is no noticeable difference. I actually got an "updated" one and rolled back to F2.

When you say VRLF2, VRLG1, etc... are you referring to the baseband? VRLF2 is my baseband version but reading these posts, it sounds like you are talking about the version of ROM.
In the Synergy thread, it says "ICS 4.0.4 - Latest I535VRALG1 Base". I have Synergy installed but my baseband is VRLF2. Are these two different things?
Thanks

Yes they are different and you can flash the updated g1 baseband (radio/modem) using Odin even if you are locked and unrooted because it is Samsung official.

wind mobile(t-mobile)

Hi, Im currently using LG g2x and am planning to move on to htc one s. After reading a few threads, it seems like you guys have great devs and support for the phone and few questions came up.
Im going to purchase wind mobile version of one s (same as t-mobile network).
Is t-mobile version compatible with any roms that says [S4]?? or are there special versions?
lastly, do you guys get major burn-in issues??
Thank you
