[Q] htc inspire hot spot with root

so ive sucessfully rooted my phone found a rom that enables tethering
but what ive been noticing is my hotspot only says 3 g above it but my mobile network says h+
ive seen both say H+ when i was on a downgraded rom but it had no sound
im wondering why my rom says 3g there when network says h+ ive tried 3 diff roms now still havnt found one that fixes this or am i just stuck with 3g hotspot ?
i could be way offf here if someone could explain id appreciate it

H+ is really 3G so don't let that confuse you.

so its just the way the rom maker exploited the hotspot pretty much
im still getting same speed on my hotspot as my phone then

Yes exactly.

Try using the Speed Test app from the Market.

I just want to make sure, being that we are rooted (I`m using the LeeDroid ROM btw) if we use the stock Wifi Hotspot we should be fine right? Theres no need to download the google Wifi Tether for Root app correct?

GTalk video is allowed over 3G for sure. As soon as there was an update for my NS, I have always used it with 3G without any issues.
Which version of NS do you have? The one from TMO? If so, I guess TMO does block any app which would do such over 3G... not too certain but atleast I am using my Rogers NS without any troubles.
Edit : Never mind about which version, as I noticed your sprint logo after I replied.

I don't use sprint anymore... current ly tmobile for a mobth. Then a regional carrier

It's not available in the market AFAIK, it came with the OTA. Are you stock or running a custom rom?

If you have any rom wih 2.3.4, you should have the gtalk video support. Check the rom and see if developer has got the support for it or not.
IMO you should go back to stock and try it out. If you are rooted, this should not take a long for you to test/check if gtalk works on stock.

it is the one here:

it is the stock rooted rom

I am rooted running current miui, it works but only over wifi. I get some message about my service provider blocking it. So right now its just used on my xoom.

Sprint's been doing something to the tower closest to my house and I've been permaroamig at my house going on 3 weeks now. Sprint told me it might be a while before they fix the problem. I've been missing calls and they only go through when I force my phone to roam. It sucks because it only happens at my house. lol its happening to my dad's completelt stock shift too so I know its not an issue with my phone. Both of our phones work fine as soon as we switch towers.

Before updating your radios do this:
1) Update profile, reboot phone.
2) Update PRL, reboot phone.
3) If you are not using cellular radio 1.08.01.0111 here is the link:

I am kinda a noob i have successfully rooted my shift first try, flashed several different roms with success, but i am not sure how to update the radio and touchpanel? do you just put the zip on the sdcard and use recovery to install or is there a special way i dont want to brick my phone i have soooo much success so far i would hate to screw it up now.

If your talking about the ones on THIS thread. There is a video in the OP on how to. But if you don't have time, or don't want watch ( although I would suggest you do ) , there are written instructions in the OP. It's always a good idea to read the OP a least once, just in case.

[Q] Can I remove verizon completely

Hi,
not sure if this has been discussed here or not,
so i have a simple and easy question. I currently use a rooted Verizon 32gb Xoom, with a 4.1.2 CM10 rom installed by Rom Manager.
I do not ever plan to use the Verizon hardware and software in the future, is there a way to completely remove the Verizon software,
so that I can kinda convert this Xoom into a wifi only model ?
Is there a problem doing this that you can think of ?
can I just flash a different modem with cwmr ?
I really despise Verizon and do not want to see the 3g signal meter in the notification panel.
i know it sounds a lil whiney, but i do want to know, what it would take to disable any verizon functionality.
thanks in advance,

Use LAIOT Linux to install Stock MZ604 ROM, then root again and blah blah blah. Else you can try installing AOSP ROM.
Both links on my signature (better saying, 7Heavens have all it and more )
"This Story Ends Where It Began"

I keep mine in airplane mode and just turn on wifi. I never see the 3G icon. I've been doing this for over six months now. I originally did this because I was afraid verizon would try to disable my Xoom. I figured if it never connected to their network that I'd be safe.

I was under impression you could just flash any rom intended for the wifi version and it'll work

This'll work, just flash a wingray rom
Sent from my Blade using Tapatalk 2

I am on a 4G rooted xoom as well that I never use the verizon data. If I were just to install a wingray ROM instead of stingray and keeping in airplane mode, would I be able to expect a increase in battery life?
Possible battery Life increase is the only benefit I see in switching from stingray to wingray.

Well yea you will but then if you want to use wifi it'll defeat the purpose of airplane mode

I just bought a new ($200) 3g version to replace my recently damaged WiFi version. Can I flash a fully stock wingray firmware to it? Or better/safer to just flash a custom wingray ROM?
Thanks.

Anyone know how to remove the lockscreen security while using this? The "try a wrong password 5-10 times" thing doesn't work

Pretty sure because it's using VPN it will most likely require a pin.

Jeeab, when I was using this app on my Droid Razr HD it didn't even let me try that trick.. I did it over 75 times for good measure. Good luck getting it to work. :lol: But I am happy that I got my wifi back! YAY!

me as well, i cant believe you cant use your fingerprint which is more secure then 4 digits but not as secure as a complex password.

If you mean LG G2X then it's possible if you are running 2.3....
The app itself is Free. But the Key to unlock all abilities is $7.95.. Google is a powerful thing.

Worked for me! I have a non-rooted (obviously) stock 900V.
Thank you!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.foxfi You will also want to get the $7.95 key for best functionality.

the only problem I have is, I got too used to unlock my phone using the fingerprint scanner and in order to use this app, you need to disable that and unlock with a pin # but I am happy there is an option for tether for us still on unlimited data

Leo. Root your phone with @geohot Towelroot and then install Xposed and X Tether. Native app FTW.

Use Android Device Manager
An easy way to get back fingerprint lock is to use the android device manager to disable the lockscreen lock outs. You also have to install the certificate first and do not remove it or you will have to do this again.

Found another quicker way to do this:
1. Goto google.com/android/devicemanager and locate your phone.
2. Click "Lock" and chose a new number password.
3. Type the new password on your phone and it will unlock.
4. Now it should let your change the lockscreen to anything, and foxfi will continue to work
Still working after restarting phone and using Foxfi :laugh:

Orrrr, now you can Root your phone without tripping Knox, installed Xposed and X Tether and have the native hotspot and tether working without FoxFi
