I have been getting a 67 error now intermittently along with a 104 error. It hasn't caused any problems that I've noticed yet, but I need to call about it. I just loathe to call because I hate giving my PIN.

Unknown, there are only a handful of rooted elites right now.Is a rooted Elite able to use wifi tether?
Has anyone tried PdaNet? https://play.google.com/store/apps/..._result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5wZGFuZXQiXQ.. Says it's USB tethering, not sure if that would act differently than the ones that have already been tried that caused the error.
USB tether shouldn't give you the error 67 pop up, if your rooted wifi tether (wireless) shouldn't give you the error 67 either
##diag## enter your msl code,then hit disable
I had been using a hotspot app (ON ROOTED PHONE) I posted about in my thread (http://androidforums.com/elite-all-things-root/568288-what-apps-do-rooted-users-have-new-post.html) for a while and as I mentioned in a post I never had 3G turned on while using it. So I thought I'd try and see if I got a faster hotspot and that gave me error code 67. So it seems like if you turn on 3G while trying to make a hotspot then you will get the error code and have to reset.
Not sure if this also applies to unrooted phones (the part about wifi tether working fine without 3G).
Yes, using EasyTether right now.Deos USB tethering work?
I would suggest the Elite. The Triumph has seen a lot of various problems ranging from maintaining a 3G data connection to maintaining a wifi connection, along with other issues. My brother in law has the Triumph and he is less than satisfied with it.Here is where I stand, I am buying a new Virgin Mobile phone tomorrow and it is either going to the the LG Optimus Elite or the Motorola Triumph.
First Question, which one would you all reccomend?
I am set on getting the Elite except for the hotspot trouble I keep reading about on the site, this is making me lean towards the Triumph. I am frustrated because everybody is talking about having the problem but nobody is posting anything on how to avoid it. I've seen that certain apps trigger the hotspot, but that's all I've gotten.
Second Question, What Apps trigger the hotspot?
You don't have to send the phone in if you happen to install a program that enables wifi hotspot generation and therefore the Error 67--VM phone support will walk you through the fix process which involves them giving you your MSL code and performing a factory reset (with will of course wipe your phone). But once you have the MSL code, if you run into this Error 67 problem, you can just go through the factory reset process yourself without phone support (if you remember or write-down the directions from the first time). You shouldn't need to exchange your phone handset unless something doesn't work with the factory reset (possible but unlikely).I am not going to purchase the phone if in a week I have to send it in for a new one. I currently have the LG Rumor Touch so I am not used to a smartphone which is the base of most of my confusion. I am looking to use this phone to go on the internet as in Espn, Ebay and basic sites, download the Twitter/Facebook apps, and text and call.
Third Question, will doing these simple tasks trigger the hot spot problem?
Most Importantly I am just looking for an answer on how to completely avoid having this happen if I purchase this phone.
Thanks,
Sutto
