    Tethering

    I would be very interested in taking you up on your offer. I still have my Nexus One as back up and I am ready to try to root my Vivid. How long to do you thing this would take and when would you be available to work on this excellent idea?

    Tethering

    Yes, tethering is exactly the same as creating a WiFi hotspot and AT&T blocks this feature to force users to pay for enhanced data plans that include tethering to generate more revenue. I don't use a lot of data because I normally just check email or surf a little. However, I don't like to...

    Tethering

    AT&T has blocked my use of tethering and I want to know if there is a way to use this feature? I wonder if I were to unlock my phone or root if that would open up that feature? Any recommendations?:-[

    Google 2-Step Authentication

    Water damage to my new Vivid - Screen is dark?

    Get one of those silica gel packs that come with new electronic equipment and put that in a plastic bag with your phone. Place the bag in you car in the sun on a warm afternoon and let it sit for a few hours. See if that doesn't suck the moisture out and allow the silica pack to absorb it...

    HTC splash screen

    This is not a good testimonial to start my ownership of the Vivid on. I am switching from a Google Nexus 1 and hoping for a better device, but everything you claim to have problems with is exactly what I am hoping to avoid. I don't hear the N1 ring sometimes and have problems with people being...

    jumped ship. New to the htc /vivid/att world!

    I just found a refurb online at AT&T for $.01 and jumped on it. I will be retiring my Google N1 and moving to the Vivid. Hope this goes well. I've had problems with battery life on the Nexus 1 so I'm hoping the Vivid is at least that good. Device is in transit and should arrive this week.
