Don't work, won't verify without upgrading.

I use this too. It works really well. I don't use at lot, just for emergencies.

Worked for me...after you add it, you have to select it before you turn on Mobile Hotspot. By default, HSPA is selected on mine. Select the new one you just made and it works fine, verifies and everything.

yea like he was saying you do have to select that network once you create it. my new one was named AT&T it sits on the top of the list. once you select it then go and turn on the hotspot feature. you may have to power your phone off after you select it. I usually don't have to do that but haved had to once or twice before. just make sure you switch back to the default network when your done using the tether. the default is AT&T US HSPDA

Ended up turning my phone off then back on and now it works I'm not gonna use it all the time, just every now and then.

This is great news. The actual releases have come very shortly after the testing on the other updates.

Thanks for posting.

Cool! if it's in "testing" to specific individuals, I'd suspect maybe 1-2months before they finish receiving and sorting all the quirks, if any, and then making the general release.

This (personally) made me chuckle a bit...

If I remember correctly from the last update (or maybe it was the first update), it was only a few days from the time the soak test began until the update was pushed to everybody. I'm expecting to have this by the end of the week.

I participated in the first 2 SOAK tests. One was about a week from the time we got it until it went live. The other was almost 2 weeks.

But still, based on that scale, we could see it live by the end of the month.

hey guys if you want to wifi tether on att without root. I currently use this. You can use these directions to get it to work. The only catch is if att figures out that you are doing it Ive heard they will automatically put you on the 4gig tether plan at another $20 dollars a month again. you may be able to argue out of it. but like i said Ive been using it for at least 3 months and haven't had a problem or an extra charge.

Procedure:

Go to Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names.
Press ‘Menu’ and select ‘New APN’.
Enter these APN settings:

APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: <leave empty>

MMS Port: 80
MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication Type: <leave empty>
APN Type: <leave empty>
Once you have setup this new APN, enjoy wireless tethering at no additional cost.

Some things I've noticed since getting the update...

PROS:
*Battery life seems improved (still charge mid-day during heavy use).
*Widgets at bottom are available on every screen now.
*Fingerprint scanner works every time now (before, it stopped working and had to manually re-start phone, sometimes several times a day).

CONS:
*Phone has randomly re-started twice since update (never did that to me before).
*Background is blacked out until phone is unlocked (kinda annoying, but getting used to it).
*Default music player isn't user-friendly (liked the previous music player, easier to set up playlist and repeat songs).

FP scanner is definitely much improved. I haven't had to reset them or hard reset at all because of FP. Also, I find the new music player is great. I used to use Winamp before since the stock one was poor IMO but now I uninstalled Winamp and am only using the stock music player.

The widget leaves much to be desired though.

Does it play by folder list?

Since my last post, it randomly re-started two more times on my Atrix. Ironically, I was on my cell phone with at&t tech support trying to fix MMS texting problem on wife's Inspire (HTC 2.3.3 upgrade) when it re-started and got disconnected. Luckily, they called my wife's phone and they fixed the issues with her Inspire.
