I'm sure the other widgets that are posted here as working are fine too.
All of us are on GN's using 4.0.x, you said you are on an Incredible, I assume on 2.3 .. Maybe that makes the difference?
Maybe someone else here with a DInc could test this out?? |
As far as I'm concerned, turning the hotspot on via the widget is perfectly fine.(legally and contractually)
(1) I purchased my Galaxy Nexus phone from Verizon Wireless
(2) I pay a monthly fee to VZW for voice/text/data and other features (excluding hotspot)
(3) I did not modify my phone at all (i.e. no rooting/hacking)
(4) I saw the hotspot app in the official Android Market, operated by Google, Inc.
(5) I clicked on the widget as directed and it gave no warning that a charge is involved
The only legal recourse that VZW has: (1) send OTA update preventing the use of this widget (hmmm... are they even allowed to do this on a Galaxy Nexus?  ) (2) contact Google, Inc and demand that they remove it from the Android Market (highly unlikely that Google will listen) (3) contact me via email or phone to see if I agree to a $30 monthly charge (my reply: no, thank you ) (4) do nothing
