Wireless Tether is a free app on the market that works with the Thunderbolt. It allows you to tether your laptop and other device to it for free with no additonal data costs even after may 15.

Simply Root, and download from the market :D

I get better speeds with wireless tether then the Mobile Hotspot app.

"simply root?" didn't think that was possible yet?
 
Lol my bad. Yeah it took forever. But I mean like All you need to do is root. Nothing else special for it to work. I know for the LG Ally It required some special mods and stuff. But on the thunderbolt it works fine.
 
It may take a little time to do, only because of the flashing, but it is really quite simple. Such an immediate gratification world we live in today.

Even if someone (ME):D has not ever messed with adb? I would love to give it a try but don't want to get in over my head.
Thanks!
 
last i looked you still had to downgrade your software to do it. things might have changed since, i havent looked at the process in a couple days
 
Yeah but like some are saying the process is extremely easy. It might take some time but man all you need to know how to do is copy and paste and know how to read.

I am thankful for quicker root methods, but I think anyone who wants to root should have to do this at least once. This way when something goes wrong they can try and troubleshoot on their own first.

But to each their own.
 
This only works for 3G speeds. I wouldn't even sweat this app to be honest. It was great on my Inc, but now that 4G is boss, this app isn't all that. The developers will hack the VZW hotspot app soon just like they did the ones on the Inc and EVO. Then we'll have free 4G speed and it will be great

You sure about that? I've heard from numerous people it doesn't support 4G. If it does than I stand corrected, I'd still rather use a cracked hotspot, but thats's just my personal preference
 
Yes it does work on 4G. Im using it as well. I have been using this app since the eris was rooted, its great..

And an appreciation for polynomial based regression :)

Calling the process "simple" is as subjective as folks saying they get 12 hours of battery life with heavy use on the TB with the 1400mah battery. One person's "simple/light" equals another person's "hard/heavy".

Simple rule is when in doubt- don't :)

The "simple" days like with the Inc and other devices are probably over. The root community will shrink, but less new folks muckin' things up :) Wait, I am one of them.... :(
 
So as of may 15, verizon will begin charging for the hotspot feature. The ones who have rooted (myself included) will still have the ability to use the hot spot.

Will verizon ever catch on? There must be a way for them to restrict this right?
