So does anyone have the Laptop Dock for their Atrix 2?
It's on Sale now for $50 (Laptop Dock)
My Question is do you have to have a tethering plan to use the Laptop dock?
Thanks,
Coldheat1906
It states that a Data Pro 4GB plan is required. That is a deal and I would love to jump all over it but I can't afford to lose my unlimited data plan because AT&T thinks that its tethering which is BS.
Maybe someone has one that is on AT&T also will chime in?
Isn't it for Atrix 4G? That's what it says.
it can be easily made to work with the A2 all you have to do is swap the HDMI and USB terminals around on the dock
HA! Then it looks like a deal
It's a deal, but I don't want to pay for Tethering......
Wish I was like some that unlimited data...... :-(

You're right about that and I've done been warned once about the tethering on my OG ATRIX so I'm not about to chance losing my unlimited plan....
That laptop dock is for the original atrix 4g. And the connectors are fliped on the original atrix. However I can confirm that the original laptop dock does work on the atrix 2. You have take apart the dock though (took me about 15 minutes.) Ive been using it since the atrix 2 has been out.

OK I have a huge question? Will I lose my unlimited plan using the lapdock since AT&T considers using it tethering? Which BTW I think is absurd not being able to use the accessories that oared available. No other carriers are doing this?

Well I know there is 90$ ones on Amazon.com, but I don't know if it still needs tethering on AT&t

Well Im an Att employee so no I don't.
You do need that tethering plan though otherwise they may threaten to remove your unlimited one.
However I believe that in the atrix 4g forum (the original atrix) some one had found away around this...a while back.
Im not sure but there might have been a work around by using custom roms (which we so desperately need lol)

Did you use your SIM card from your Atrix? I'm thinking about doing it since I have an iPhone 2g laying around, but I'm not sure if it'll work with my SIM card that already has a data plan.
But I'm still waiting to see if I even use all of the data I can. There is no point in spending an extra $5/month on something I don't need.
I was grandfathered in from an iPhone plan. Yay me
the iphone 2g is the only phone that will force att to give you unlimited internet. but back in January att said they will allow all prior att iphone customers to get unlimited back on there contract (provided it is the same number/contract) had they removed the feature at any time.
so I'm pretty glad I had an iphone. even if I had to deal with all the bs like no mms, no tethering unless it was jail broken, no video, crappy camera that didn't work indoors or if it was cloudy without a tripod. wow that phone sucked for the first couple years. but I'm glad I had it.
This is interesting.
Now to try and get my hands on an iPhone.

Might I suggest that you instead send him your SIM? Much less chance of something bad happening to an expensive (and still somewhat useful) bit of technology that way
Grandfathered in as well to the old unlimited data gotta love it

Yep, I did this back in April just to see if it worked.
edit... yes it worked. Just be persistent when you call the rep and let them know exactly which plan it will be. (in the event that they try and tell you it doesn't exist.)
I'm good now... Hooked up, got unlimited days now

Same here... I found one for 40$ with a cracked screen on my local craigslist... Thing is local is 2 hours of driving to get the phone and the seller doesn't want to ship it...
Some people on the original post say they can do it for you... kind of skeptical but yet at the same time, interested in it...

I found one that is $50... and you can return it too after 3 days so if it turns out it can't work you can get a refund (and even it does work you can refund it too)....

For those of you who have devices already...
Does the the Sensation in stock form from T-Mobile have the gingerbread built-in portable hotspot functions enabled like it is on the Nexus S? I am considering switching but this may be a deal breaker for me since I use hotspot fairly often.

Yep I pay 30 a month and I get the tethering with it! However my sister and her boy friend both own the samsung vibrant and they both had to pay an extra $10 a month to get the tethering option enabled

so you saying that the "tethering" is the built in app? right now that we have into the phone?
or we have to pay to get that app? (i see that is 29$ on their site..)

i think its on tmobile's website somewhere that states if you want tethering it requires a 20 dollar web plan or above.

It comes on the phone. The app is called Wi-Fi Hotspot. USB tethering also shows up as an option when you plug in a USB to the phone that's attached to your computer.

Hey guys, I was one the first to buy this phone and It has been a long journey, I'm leaving VM and the triumph behind. The reason is T-Mobile is offering a $30 no contract deal. Plus it come with 5g of 4g speed, which VM will never offer, so I went on ebay and bought myself a Samsung Galaxy S II for $500, and am I the only one that is doing this because I believe this is a deal of a life time .

That's up there with Verizon. Verizon LTE goes a little faster but you generally won't use it useless you are getting something off of a server that can move that fast which is rare. Also, that's a lot faster than anything VM and their 3G will ever put out. lol

I can see there are a lot of folks here who has left VM... I just started I use this tread because it looks like some here are reading it. This is my first real Android, been many years on Windows Mob., and it has been a fun ride! But lately I used Android on my TP2, and I wanted to try a real one, and since I didn't like to have a contract I ended up with this...
I have a question about my main issues with this phone. It's the weak/slow 3g bad signal issues that many has confirmed. The other more important for me is the Bluetooth disconnecting issue, and many has others reportet this problem too.
So my question, does any of the build ROM's here solve this per now?
If not I know it will be, because in here is the best of the developers you can find!! Coming from the WM world it has been a lot of issues, but at the very end, I must say my TP2 became perfect after a lot of ROM testing..
Hope someone can give me some feedback asap.. Thanks!

So what is your current prepaid deal with TMobile?
Data/month
Minutes/month

Price?
Also, I never really notice the bad 3g speed - I haven't used better, and my home connection is just as bad(well, not as bad).
And the 3G loads videos at a nice enough speed.

No i have stock phone. To be clear though. I do not own a laptop so I can't test it. I'm just relaying what the T-Mobile dude told me. But when I connect my usb to the desktop and select USB tether I don't get any blocks or messages so I would conclude that the USB tethering is permitted.

Okay, I think I know...first install the HTC sync driver.... Then make sure that works. And I bet the tether well work then. It did for me I tested on the desktop. Good luck.

Already installed but not recognizing phone. It did recognize phone when first installed. Has given me some some adb issues. Will probaly uninstall it.
Well at least you can get it to work with another tether app. And plus since tethering is included in the 5 gigs plan they shouldn't bother you about tethering. I don't think they care what app you use anyway.
Sent from my HTC One S
They did with my nexus one.
Hopefully they won't bother me with this phone.
The guy at Tmobile said I needed to pay 5 dollars a month for the data plan that included tethering. He said it was needed for the phone... I always root my devices so I tether either way but I said okay and got the phone. Since I was paying for it I decided to try it out and it's actually not bad. You activate it through the wifi hotspots in the app drawer. I'm on a EU rom now so I'm not sure what it's called on Tmobile US rom... Anyways it works perfectly and is able to tether up to 8 devices but I would assume you're data couldn't handle that much lol. Goes to show how good Tmobile thinks their HSPA is.... It is pretty nice having the option tethering multiple devices. I'm happy paying 5 bucks for that feature
Oh I almost forgot it works perfectly rooted or unrooted... I tried it before rooting and it works just the same now.

The 5 gig plan includes tethering. I am not rooted and upgraded to that plan for the purpose of tethering and it includes it. At first it did not work, I called and said, I was told this plan included tethering, the lady was very nice and enabled it. Told me to turn the phone off and reboot and then it would work. It did. I haven't done anything else and the native app works great.

I think if the 5 does, so should the 10 gb, I think at one point it was advertised as having tethering, just call and act like you were told this was the case. I thought I was going to have to threaten things but they did it without argument.
I just looked at their webpage and all their new plans seem to include it. It doesn't hurt to call.

If you root your phone and download a wifi tether app, it will work regardless.
If you go to, say, Settings>Wireless and Networks>Tethering, for me, it does check if you have tethering in your plan.
