Help wifi tethering

i got the FRF 83 update thursday.
i didnt request it, didnt download it, didnt search for it.
im not rooted or hacked or anything like that.

my screen goes into landscape when i turn it either direction now, and i just tried the hotspot and my GF's laptop picked it up.

it said androidAP and was unsecured. i could probably change the name and security if i check.

The 3g signal sent wirelessly to your ps3 is fast enough to play online?

Dude, I'm playing FLAWLESSLY on Call of Duty. No disconnects, lags, nothing. Playing Team Deathmatch with all craziness going on and not a hiccup.

I had issues with my home computer wireless connection with it (timeouts sometimes and lags) and I don't get that using my wireless hotspot on my phone...

I used it the very next day, I forgot to post results. Sorry guys.

Worked fine on my PS3 playing Call of Duty. Just added a password to it to make sure someone else isn't taping off my shit lol.


Ahh, hence the reason carriers are doing away with unlimited data. Hopefully TMO doesn't notice heavy data usage post froyo and decide to block tethering or charge a fee for it. For some reason I don't see this free for all lasting too long.

It doesn't use nearly the data you'd expect.

I'm running Netcount (I believe its called) and it keeps track of data used daily, 7day, month and lifetime.

I was at 100MB used when I turned on Call of Duty. I played for a few hours and ended with 174.5 (so a 74.5MB usage). Either the counter is completely F'ed up or it only used 74.5MB...
