Verizon has NEVER charged me extra for this...

and your post has what to do with that guy being lazy, cheap?

Thanks for any feedback on this.

Brother I am tethering right neeeooowww from the 23xxx Dinik... I have been tethering on the last 300 builds with no issue.......EXCEPT I do have to set it up to do so by doing the following methods which I also believe help my batt. life.

Only issue I have had in past few months builds is when weather or "The Twitter" (love Betty) update auto it disconnects tethered connection.....

So here is the Whotahn low down.......that was 5 other guy/gals low down before today but I am feeling type-a-delic today.

After flash ritual..... I turn weather auto updates off and twitter auto updates off. I think saves batt in long run. I can manually update as need be. more on this at end of my diddy.

I place in a quick link the Data kill toggle and Internet Sharing. I have QLs set up and saved in Exporter folder so they load after flash during XDA_UC.

At this point you are ready to roll. Hit the data Kill QL, data signal is killed(visible by looking at TB world icon above sig bars turns into an antenna) then hit the Int. Sharing QL, when it comes up hit connect before hooking device up, it will say "check usb connection" at that point hook er up and you should be golden.

As mentioned above only issue I had before was auto updates to weather and Twitter disconnected my int sharing connection. This occurrence forced me to unplug, hit the Data kill QL, then the int. sharing and connect then replug. SO technically if you are only gonna int. share for a lil while you could still have auto updates on just beware they will kill your connection if the update during int. sharing. YES I know you can hook to int sharing by just pluggin in and selecting it....BUT this does not kill data which has to be done prior to it accepting int. sharing connection. So yes you could kill data with switch and plug in skipping the Int. Sharing Ql...but sometimes you will get the Waiting for Network message and it won't connect to Int. Sharing.

EDIT: OK so I am a jackass and sometime put myself in front of the cart rather than the horse...... If you don't have a sim card in this isn't gonna help ya..... I don't remember that work around because I don't need it. The Big V hooks us up with a Sim card and I have never needed to remove it other than to play with Froyo Baggins awhile and then I always put it back in..

What is the advantage of tethering vs wifi router? Battery?

I just use wifi router. . .

Yes for me it is battery. I kill two birds with one stone. Charge the batt while surfin the internet.... WIFI simply drains the battery. You can always plug it in and set near it though. Been tethering since old TP1 days before the wifi was incorporated.

ah ok, cool, i didn't mean to be a d**k bro, just hate when people want things handed to them on a platter as long as it doesn't require them to do any work, i don't mind helping or trying to help someone but at least make an effort to help yourself.

I understand. I get frustrated too for the same reasons.
Course, I am also one of the people who've done that in the past too.

So, in case anyone cares. I flashed the ROM o' the day, Cookie 23xxx style. and I'm just getting it squared away. First impression is that it feels more solid. The boxes for text message pop ups are more responsive. Like the old days of 23xxx. It's still synching, so Let you know more tomorrow.

folks......i'm in need of some out-of-the-box advice

ive been flashing BRG NRG roms since EnergyROM_21876_RHOD500_24.Nov.2009_Standard.
i've never had a problem unlocking any of the phones until now.
my tp2 broke, verizon sent me a certified-as-new refurbished (yes sir, i'd like to look at that bridge in Brooklyn now please!) phone. and it will not unlock for love nor money.

i've done each of the trouble-shooting steps from the unlocker's software web page and still no go!

man, i'm on my 14th day without a flash...i'm starting to get shaky and seein' things...

has anyone had a situation like this and found a way around it?

i'm not new to flashing or unlocking/locking, but i am out of ideas.

i've even been down the flash from sd card track. this phone is defying me at all turns.

help me obi-wan-kenobe [insert your name here], you're my only hope.

thanks, marvin

You are the second person that I have noticed who's said that. Makes me wonder if they have figured out how to prevent us from flashing....

NOOOOOOOOO......

Hopefully it's something Simple. What versions are on the phone? Radio? Etc.

i would say that your best bet is going to be to pm or email Ollie and those over there that make the unlockers and see if they have run into this before, might have to donate or whatever but at least you would be able to flash the phone as i'm sure they wouldn't quit until they figured it out.

does your phone activesync with the computer without any issues? have you tried taking the sd card and sim card if you have one in out to see if that matters?
