P3 told someone on twitter that in order to be investigated youd have to use up to or over 150GB w Tether to be investigated. Now to me, not being the developer type, that does seem like a number that would catch a carrier's attention, yet how many of us, especially those freaking out, would actually use that amount in a cycle?

OP updated w/ TeamBlackHat App APK (in case you want tether again...Oh I meant in case you want to unpatch from the app..he he he) Theres a lot more in there besides the patches and again all of this is a major Panic button situation for P3Droid, not for us, we're just doing HIM a favor by unpatching.

This reminds me of The Matrix pt 1 when Neo is in the office cubicle and Agent Smith is at the other end ready to do a search(Hugo Weaving kicks so much ass, hope he does as Red Skull). And for the hilarity of this, it also reminds me of Office Space when Stan stood up to see "The Bob's" feverishly looking for someone to can,lol

Yeah I can't quite fathom 150 GB but I've tethered like twice to do my math when my home internet was down. (My university has changed to online math homework) I do think it's probably going to be a problem soon for people who have been completely replacing their home internet with not by-the-book tethering, but people, the rabid fear-mongering has got to quit. It's getting insane.

Like I said, I have respect for P3 and TBH. I'm loving the GB leak. I don't think it was necessarily his intention to stir the pot, but that's what happened. A little while ago when this was all coming out, someone asked him on Twitter why TBH posted a hack for hotspot if he didn't believe in "illegal" tether, and P3 said something to the effect of, "we post things, users have to decide what's right or wrong." I mean...you can't post a recipe for "How to Cook Babies" and then be like "well personally I think that's morally wrong but its totally up to you what you do with it." Now obviously we're all adults and we're all responsible for our own decisions, I just think that in particular is kind of a stupid thing to say. You either believe in what you're doing or you don't.

Personally, every penny out of the carriers' pockets gladdens me-I think we need some serious wireless policy reform in this country. In the meantime though, I do think it would be nifty if the community would band together some and stop running around in circles and screaming.

Just my two cents of the morning...back to class with me!

So to make this patch work do you uninstall the tether app then run the patch?

Does running the tether app undo the patch? How do we make sure this works?

My phone will remain rooted. Never loaded any patch or anything but I used wireless tether maybe 3 times.

I wonder what's going to happen next week.

"Everybody turn off your Android phones exactly at 11:39pm, the cell phones companies are about to launch a 5 minutes tracking device at this time to see if you are rooted"

All this is making SPRINT look pretty good right now. They don't charge you xtra for tethering.

Head Honcho at Verizon:

Honcho - "Larry I want to see if you can stir the pot and create some panic amongst these rooters."

Larry - "Ok boss, I will release multiple leaks, with misinformation".

Honcho - "I want to see them squirm"

I take the last part of this comment back. Seems like this is not a panic situation, but a legitmate concern for us users. So please unpatch this hotspot hack if you hav'nt done so already.

Yeah things are pretty crazy right now in the 'droid community, my next phone will definately be a developer phone to avoid these shenanigans.
