I did almost exactly the same thing. I have a TB and my wife and iPhone 4S. Although I had unlimited data and hotspot on my TB, I don't stream video and/or audio and never used more than 1 GB data in a month. My wife never even used 1/4 GB of her 2GB per month. So, I decided to give up the...

For anyone having an issue with installing the update, I was finally able to get my 10.1 to finish the update. As I mentioned in a couple of posts above, the installation would stall between 25-28%. It would simply sit there for hours. I tried a couple of times to turn it off and back on and...

I'm still trying to update. After 1 1/2 hours stuck at 27%, I decided to shut down the Tab and restart it. That time it got to 26% and stopped. I only gave it 30 minutes that time and restarted it again. It's now been 20 minutes on this 3rd try and stuck at 26% again. I'm getting ready to...

I am still attempting the update. It started just fine but the update has been stuck on 27% for more than 1/2 hour now. Is anyone else having this problem? I'm not going to try and stop it yet, but if it goes a lot longer, I guess I'm going to have to.

Re: receiving random sms and mms Also, make sure you check your cellular bill closely for any additional charges. I received an unsolicited text a couple of months ago that was offering some special service for $9.99/month and said to text "STOP" to a certain number to unsubscribe. Again...

The OP doesn't say what carrier he is using, but if he is on Verizon, having unlimited data does not, in itself, allow for wireless tethering. Verizon requires an additional monthly fee for tethering.

I'm not sure about all wireless carriers, but if you use Verizon, their data plan does NOT include free wi-fi tethering. To be able to tether using wi-fi (on Verizon) you need to pay an extra monthly fee ($30/month for 2GB). To avoid that charge many people root their phones and use one of...

I also purchased the Belkin case at Best Buy when I bought my Galaxy Tab 10.1 because that was all they had and I wanted a case. Since then I found the Samsung book cover at Compusa here in town and bought it and I love it. It is much thinner and better looking than the Belkin case IMO. In...

I called and got a very helpful/friendly rep. He did initially tell me there was no unlimited mobile hotspot plan, but I explained that several others had verified today that it existed. He checked further and did find it. He even apologized for not knowing about it. He activated it...

Has anyone who has gotten the $30 unlimited wi-fi hotspot today able to sign up for it BEFORE their FREE hotspot stopped working? I was told I couldn't sign up for it as long as my phone was still getting the free hotspot. My problem is that the free hotspot still hasn't gone away on my phone...

I was told you have to wait until the free promo actually ends on your phone which should be sometime today (July 7th). It doesn't happen to all phones at the same time. If you want to add the paid feature, call *611 on your phone.

First, let me say I know that Verizon reps are not always the most reliable sources. That said, I am one who wants to keep the hotspot after the free promotion, but am leaving on vacation in the morning on July 7th and that is when I'll really need the hotspot (at home I use my cable modem for...

I talked to VZW customer service today concerning keeping the Hot Spot after the free promotion ends on July 7th. I am concerned because I will be on vacation then (which is when I need this feature) and didn't want to be surprised when it disappeared since they cannot say what time it will...

I'm sure some people don't want to mess with having to reload everything and all their settings since the leaked MR2 wipes their phones. Supposedly, the OTA will NOT wipe the phone so for some people it's worth waiting a little longer.

I'm still stock and have NOT done the MR2 update. I, like most, have experienced the random reboots several times a day since the MR1 update, BUT for some reason, my tbolt has now gone 2 days, 19 hours without a reboot. I'm not using my phone and differently or any different apps so I don't...
