Of constant use how long do you think the batter will last using it as a modem?

I might need to get a 2nd battery now that I got Mighty Rom on there.

(BTW under connections do I need to turn on "Data Connection"? It's currently set to off. When i connect the phone I got it to work perfectly as modem with leaving it off..

I just want to make sure I don't incur any further charges I'm already paying verizon over $120 a month.

Thanks guys, you're amazing!

ive never tested the battery life while tethering but mightys rom does have some good battery tweaks included so it is better than stock, if it still connects your laptop to the internet with data off in connections then it still shouldnt show as tethering data with the ics fix, just to make sure you do have a data plan with vzw correct? b/c the ics fix makes tethering data seem like regular data from the phones browser rather than tethering to a pc/laptop.

absolutely i have the data plan, its mandatory these days with verizon smart phones.

So I should be good?

Thanks ryall!

yes sir you shouldn't have any proplems at all, as i said i have never had any tethering charges on my bill and havent seen anyone saying they did in the 2000+ posts in mightys thread!
