Question about Bionic Wireless Tether vs Mobile Hotspot.

You can root and use the mobile hotspot with 4g speeds on your bionic. Here is the link to the thread on how to do it. http://androidforums.com/bionic-all-things-root/410737-tethering.html

 

What is often left of advice such as this however is the little fact that Verizon can tell if you're tethering and if they indeed discover you're tethering illegaly, they have the right to possibly convert your phone to a tiered data plan thereby cancelling your unlimited data.

 

Very true. Tether at your own risk.

 

Silly question in regards to the locked thread referenced above.

Isn't rooting technically a violation of the customer agreement? OR is it simply something that voids the warranty but Verizon is still cool with customers doing it?

And then there's this which may apply to my state:

 

I paid for the phone, VzW can't tell me what to do with it. Motorola can void the warranty, however. Umm ... *IF* they find out it was rooted.

Which it isn't, by the way!

 

I believe you

 

Bah! Everyone lies in the signature.
