Hi,
I've been going around and around with this in my head, on the VZW site plans, twice with their online chat and with you good patient people (thank you) since I got my N7. I have an HTC Rezound phone. I sure hope I've missed something that will make this work.
1) I should use Foxfi/PDAnet to wifi the phone and the N7 however, the Rezound will not allow a wifi networking so I have to use bluetooth when I'm away from my home wifi network.
2) Bluetooth has limitations and they're limitations I don't like I feel like it cripples me for doing what I would like to/need to do. Heck, I can't even download an app off the Google Play Store when on BT.
3) I cannot add my N7 to my VZW account because it's not a VZW device.
4) So what? I need a new phone in order to be able to do what I want to do? What VZW phones will allow me to wifi my N7 with it? I'm no where near upgrade/contract renewal time at VZW. I have more than a year to wait. Not that I can afford it and I'm REALLY picky about my phones but if I had my choice I'd be driving a Galaxy Note (oooo baby!!!) but that's for Sprint people. Sigh ....
5) In one of the posts here (somewhere on A.C.) I think I read about an app that will root my phone for me as in without me having to do anything technical (sorry but rooting scares the daylights out of me). I'm no good with hardware and I don't even know what a ROM is so rooting is a pretty scary place for me to even think about going. Is anyone familiar with this app? I think it was Face something or other and some instructions from a Mr or Mrs Smith? Even if I rooted would I be able to accomplish the N7 being able to be wifi'd to my phone w/o bluetooth?
I really do not want to have to leave my N7 home because it will only run off BT on my phone. I think I just covered all the groundwork I've done, so did I miss something?
