DUN should be No. Use the native tethering in Android: Settings-->Wireless & Networks-->Tethering & Portable Hotspot--->Check the box to turn it on. Your cell# is the "network password" when you connect your laptop or whatever. The network will be called LGsomething.

still don't need to root to tether, even after the update. Assuming you have a different Launcher (I use Launcher Pro, create a new launcher item for activities->com.lge.hiddenmenu->LG Hidden Menu(.LGServiceHiddenMenu_Settings) select "Data Settings" and then the DUN NAI setting tether...

still stuck in the Land of No Root...so wishing I had not installed the OTA update.

Pulling this from another thread, for folks who have installed the Sprint ROM update:

awesome, thanks for posting that. Confirmed, I am using it right now.

Unfortunately I did not. I wasn't planning on installing another ROM until they were a bit more developed, so I had not bothered with a backup program. Whoops.

And wireless sharing/hotspot is now disabled, which did not require rooting before. Now I am a bit more POd.

Apparently Sprint is pushing it out, my phone downloaded it last night. I let it install. Other than I have lost root (grrr), I am not sure what it is done. Found this Sprint Pushing Minor Bug-Fix OTAs To The Kyocera Echo And LG Marquee For a brief insane moment I thought it might be ICS. Wrong.

The screen can be a little unresponsive at times. The size is pretty decent though. And as far as replacing screens goes, I have dropped this phone a number of times already, on tile, and it has come through just fine. Swype works fine, I just prefer the regular one.

Re: What did you wish you knew about this phone before you bought thanks for the JuiceDefender recommendation, I installed it this weekend and it makes a huge difference.

Re: What did you wish you knew about this phone before you bought What he said ^. Even down to area, I'm right below you in Miami. Not a heavy app user and I don't play video games on my phones. The GSII screen looks a little pixelated to me, the resolution isn't sufficient for the screen...

Re: What did you wish you knew about this phone before you bought It has a great form, feels good in the hand and fits in the pockets of all my pants. It is easily rooted and unrooted. Battery life is horrendous though I am still trying to improve it. It is easy to use as a wireless tethering...

I rooted mine and use Autostarts to disable some programs from starting up when I boot it, including the Sprint programs. Not sure if it helps with battery but it's one less thing to task the processor.
