I did a full app backup with Titanium and set max events to 500. I'll try changing the build.props back. Thanks.

Well, you don't actually have to pay for wifi traffic. You're phone downloads data using the data connection(3g for example), and then sends it to whatever device you're tethering with. Sending the data using wifi or bluetooth doesn't make a difference in how much data you're phone downloads using the data connection.

Most carriers charge extra for wifi tethering. The amount of data used is irrelevant. They do not charge for BT tethering. I don't want to root my phone and alter its radio just so I can use wifi tethering against my carriers will, so I use BT.

Hence why there are so many wifi tether apps on the market.

And unless you pay, the carrier will notice you're trying a workaround and just send you to the carrier's webpage asking you to pay for the "service". Some phones have it easier than others I guess. It is a pain to get wifi tethering working on my phone without paying twice for the same data connection.

Just updated mine. My GPS was decent prior the update able to get locks on 4-6 sats while driving, now it takes foreverrrr to get a lock and can't get a lock indoors anymore.

Is there a way to revert?

I have it updated, and kept it rooted thanks to voodoo.

After two cold boots, gps improved somewhat. Before i got no lock inside or outside, now i get lock if i face the window inside. No luck inside home, while my Samsung 10.1 locks instantly wherever (also WiFi off).

WI-fi is the same, still weak, compared to all my other devices, n or g, you cant tell just by browsing though.
