Virgin Mobile likes to mislead people!
When I was researching this phone, I saw this on their website and thought well it looks to be promising and that I could pay the extra 15$ and be able to teether my phone to my laptop whenever I needed to. Even though, I am simply am enjoying this new phone of mine. The idea that they made me believe that I could easily without effort pay them to allow me to teether my phone is simply absurd. I shouldn’t have to circumvent the new security feature in Android 4.1.2 which Google decided to break tethering and prevent people from using those so called teether apps. I have yet to find one that will work.
Calling all Geeks!
I’m going to have to probably root the phone and install a Cyanogen mod on it to be able to use the tethering option on the phone. I would however like to keep it the way it is. Rooting the AWE be to much trouble for me right now. Since I am mainly using a Chrome Book and have yet to install a Linux Distro to the machine. I’d have to do that first before I could even root the device and you know how that is!
Does Anyone know of an app that will do that without having to break the warranty of the phone as Virgin Mobile told me over the phone? I would break the warranty if I rooted the phone. LOL That was a laugh. If you know of an app in the Google App store please leave a comment and help everyone out who might have the same problem!
download foxfi from the marketplace and what ever device you have needs it to just follow what the app instructs. it works really well i use the blue tooth teather amd it works really well. and as for rooting its nearly impossible for the awe ive been using it for a couple of weeks and its horrible. fifteen percent of the top left side does not work and it wont charge when im using it.. suck but i hope foxfi works for yoi its the only one if tested that does.
