Any ideas what it does? It runs as a service com.htc.tetheringguard
Just installed the OTA update and noticed this. If you stop the service it doesnt reload unless you open the mobile hotspot app. Think the free hotspot block can be removed by removing the service? That seems way too easy...

It certainly does seem too easy. Brilliant solution if it works though.
Easy test, turn it off, try to use another tethering app.
I am debating between doing and not doing the update because I like the free WiFi hotspot; I can be cheap
Can someone with the update try it?
I tried freezing it with titanium backup Pro, but it just rendered the mobile hotspot inoperable.

Sounds to me like a nice little root job would fix it

If you're already rooted you might as well just use the wireless tether app, or the one built into cm7.

Does the wireless tether app tether 4G or just 3G? Download link anyone?

4G as long as you have 4G available. If you use this version, make sure you select the option in settings for HTC related to the LAN.

Hey guys anyone know some good settings for android Wi-Fi tether 3.1 to work on the charge..
I saw somewhere to use fascinate as the device profile and change to digital for Samsung, but that has never worked for on any 3.1 versions, so Ive used 2.0.7 since I found Wi-Fi tether...
If anybody could help me I would greatly appreciate it thanks

Uncheck wifi driver reload and choose the Droid Charge profile. Make sure you uncheck that box though, otherwise you'll have to reboot to get wifi back.

So is this better than pre 12 or should I not bother with it?

One big advantage I see is that the new version is in the Play Store, so no more bother with sideloading. It'll autoupdate this way as well.
So Verizon is allowing us to download that version? Sounds fishy don't you think?

When does Verizon come into the transaction at all? Play Store is Google.

I understand Play Store is Google. I had the impression that carriers can block certain apps from appearing in the Play Store. When I was on sprint they blocked wireless tether app. I'm probably wrong about Verizon.

Google had pretty much blocked all tethering apps from the Market for a while, but they've started popping back up again. Not sure why the change in policy, unless they've just decided to stop letting the carriers dictate their internal policies.

Never really understood why google would be behind removing certain apps, yet you google the app apk and easily download it.

All I can say is I'm glad it's back in the market and I'm glad I finally got a 3.1 version to work on my charge

I love wifi tether with unlimited data...it's just like being hooked up to HSD at home.
FoxFi works fine for me. Don't have to deal with rebooting on the wifi tether app.

I use Wifi Tether and I don't have to reboot either. It's as simple as unchecking a box in the config. I don't trust FoxFi. Anything that uses the built in tethering is going to automatically be easier to detect than something like Wifi Tether or Open Garden.

Which check box? The wi-fi driver reload option? I'd love to be able to skip the reboot (on 3.1-beta11).

I can't seem to get any service from my carrier. The phone can get reception/signal, it's just the phone displays No Service from the pull down notifications. And when I go into mobile settings and try to search for a network or anything, It says "Error while searching for networks." Is this the antenna problem? Would I have to open up the phone and adjust something? btw does anyone know where the antenna is located at?

Well, this was happening when I was on the stock os. When I bought this it seem to got connection and then suddenly it stopped getting connection. I'm currently on Glorious Overdose V2.

I unlocked the sidekick, tried a ATT simcard got good reception like Tmobile, but still no service. Do you know where the antenna is in the sidekick?
Its probally an antena prob because surprisingly I droped my old samsung gravity smart in water by accident and my first thought was to take the battery out and let it dry,that succeeded on letting me turn it on fully but I had no reception what so ever which is odd but this sounds off topic a lil but I ended up bricking it o.o normaly t-mobile themselfs sometimes making horrible phones don't get me wrong their good but most of them are 2.2 froyo ._.

Please forgive me if this has been asked and solved before. I'm having a problem with GPS locking on this rom only. I tried updating the GPS config file but had no luck locking on. I'm in an area where with other roms I can typically lock onto about 7 or 8 satellites. Any help is greatly appreciated!
You tried gps fix or a-gps apps from the play store?

I did try using GPS Status to "reset" the GPS. It did VERY briefly find two satellites and then they disappeared. I've tried re-downloading the rom, wiping, etc. with no luck. I'm just bummed out cause I really like this rom but no GPS is a no-go for me.
Gps works. Try more apps. Get a fresh download. There are always more things to try.

You said it works..are you using an app from the app store, or is it working from the Rom itself? It's my favorite Rom but I rarely use GPS. I just wanna know in case I decide to use it.

I did download GPS Status from the Play Store and I use navigation daily so it's pretty important to me. I don't know why sometimes it seems to see less or more in the same location but I used the turn by turn directions last night just fine. I'll let everyone know if I see any changes but right now it seems good.
I also flashed the Wi-Fi calling and it's working out, thank you. Looking forward to your future projects!
Every time i enable GPS i get the confirm box. Can i confirm that bleeping thing and have the phone remember so not to bother me again.
Normally i leave it off but a new ap i downloaded wont work without it enabled.
GPS On ... confirm, GPS On ... confirm, GPS On ... confirm... Use app. Turn off GPS.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda app-developers app
You can use the Android Power widget to enable GPS without the confirmation.
Does that turn on all 3 GPSs or just one. Btw what's the difference in the 3.

Assuming this is just because you are on a ROM... just drop the widget where you want it and reboot and the buttons will appear
If you are using Tweakd then the stock widget wont display properly for some reason. On stock it just turns on the Standalone GPS services. You'll need to manually do the VZW and Google service.
then I guess I'm stuck with the phone the way it is. BTW, I thought Tweaked was the only ROM out there for those of us that have the latest OTA. If I am wrong, what are the alternatives?
The GPS toggle in the notification pulldown turns GPS on without the confirmation.

Not the Verizon or Google GPSs.
Just FYI the verizon location service doesn't do anything unless you are using VZ navigator. The google location service is what estimates your location using cell towers and wifi. GPS is the precision location used for satellites.
If you have an app that needs location to work, then see if it needs a rough or exact location. You probably only need to turn one of those on.
I just leave VZW and Google location services on. Yeah maybe they can keep track of my location but their intentions are pretty benign.
