4G mobile Hotspot app from Verizon

---

I have an issue with the 4G mobile hotspot app. Can't connect my tablet, a stock Toshiba Thrive, to the internet via my phone. It recognizes the WiFi hotspot but can't obtain an IP address. Tries to obtain an IP address for a few minutes, stops, then starts over.
I am using Revolt rom 1.5.
I added the 4g hotspot app (from a zip file using CWM) . Insructions and app were in the Revolt 1.5 thread.
My tablet connects to my home WiFi and with the McDonald's Wifi.
I have added the 4G mobile HotSpot to my Verizon account and have received an email from them saying that the feature has been added.

My recommendation would be here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1162170

My bet is that this will solve your issues, and you don't have to fork over those ludicrous rates to Verizon.

This is an issue I've been working on. And, if you are like me and use tethering a lot, better to be safe and keep the tether plan. If you use less than 5 gigs total per month, then ditch the plan. I use anywhere from 35-70 gigs per month as it's my only internet, therefore, worth the extra $30 bucks for 40+ Mbps service.

The only way to get the 4gHotSpot app to work properly is to re-flash with the TOT file via LGNPST and keep it stock. Even just rooting seems to mess it up, but that may be related to installing a root-tether app as it was working right after rooting but not too long after it stopped, possibly after I installed a tether app. Even going back to stock from a backup doesn't seem to help. Something gets changed and messes it up and does exactly what you are referring to. It's related to the DHCP Server and I'm struggling trying to fix that.

Thanks, but that is not working either. I have that app but my Toshiba Thrive tablet will not recognize the ad hoc wireless network. That is what prompted me to go to the Verizon solution.

If you use Wifi Tether for Rooted Users, and choose LG Optimus S as your profile, and the network part to 192.168.1.0/24 it will create a normal network and the tablet should be able to connect.

Yeah, you should use the non-ad-hoc settings recommended in that thread. Others have their tablets working that way.
