post pics of your studio 17 (1735s and 1737s) welcome

hello i was just wondering if you have a studio 17 (either models) if you could post pics of them? i just really want to see one up close, (the graphite ones would be nice to) since im getting that one thank you

thats my 1737 and his little buddy the Sprint Diamond flashed so that I can tether to EVDO Rev A broadband speeds anywhere for free, unlimited data.

I call the duo Batman and Robin.

 

nice so wait your telling mre i can hook my phone up and get free broadband? sweet!!!

 

No, not really free. You basically pay for the internet via your cell phone bill, its usually a Data plan, such as 3G data plan etc.

 

well for the type of plan i have i have unlimited data plan because of the type of phone. so all i need to do is just plug my phone in(would bluetooth work to?) and i can connect to the internet anywhere?

 

don't expect break neck speeds though; typically internet over the cellular network gets particularly bad connection speeds.

 

Yep, you basically use your smartphones that come with an unlimited Data plan. I've never seen/heard about it going thru the bluetooth, I would say that would slow things A LOT lol. The bottleneck there will be bluetooth.

Anyways, it depends on what phone you have to "tether" it. I suggest googling how to tether your specifc phone. Some phones have an application you just run while others you'll have to crack/hack/ mess with a lot of settings

Also, pay close attention to your service's fine print though. You may have an unlimited data plan, but in fact its limited. For example, I have the iPhone and AT&T doesn't allow tethering 'yet' and they might add it as a service in the future, not sure yet. But there are "workarounds" to this, I have a friend who jailbroke his iPhone so he could use it for tethering, and if you use it too much AT&T could find out and charge you. Friend was charged additional $300 but he somehow won the case I don't remember what happened. So just be careful. Do a little research first.

 

haha ok ill figure it out but im pretty sure i do get unlimited,(i have the at&t phone called the incite)

 

You'll have to dig into the phone in order to pull out the sim card and then dig into the laptop to put it in. considering how much work is involved, how slow the internet is, and how fragile the cards are relative to the effort actually required to get it in, it's generally not worth it. Feel free to try it though, and let us know how it turns out.

 

This isn't tethering. With tethering, you "tether" your laptop to your phone using it's usb charging/sync cable.

What you're referring to is using the internal (if equipped) cellular card with an existing SIM card/account to access the internet WITHOUT a phone.

This thread sure did veer waaaaay off track, but I'm not going to post pictures of my 17 to bring it back; the color on the back is messed up. It doesn't seem to be very durable [there's a small chip missing, parts of it seem to be wearing thinner, and the corner near the wifi sniffer button has a small crack ]

 

It is possible to tether wirelessly as well. The majority of the tethering solutions I've seen do not actually include a USB cable. Usually bluetooth or WLAN. "Tethering" implies using one mobile device's connection to get WAN data to another device, regardless of whether or not the other device is a PC or another smartphone and regardless of the medium used to establish the connection.

 

The majority of the ones I've seen constitute of physically connecting using a cable.

But then, I'm referring to carrier-sanctioned tethering (I used to work for Verizon Wireless).

 

yea i was just thinkin that lol but come on post old and new it doesnt matter i just want to see the bad boy in action

 

I'll post pictures of my laptop (with my HTC Touch Pro for symmetry) in a bit, but I do want to say that whereas tethering via wifi is certainly possible and even easy with some programs (PDAnet, for example, or wifirouter), using the usb cable means your phone recharges - lots of data runs the battery down really quickly and the cable is pretty important if you're going to use it for more than an hour.

 

Hehehe boy did I derail and hijack this thread. from post pics to tethering I am the only one who posted pics and hijacked at the same time.

Tethering is AWESOME, if you have any cellphone plan with unlimited data, there are easy simple cab installs basically a small file that does teh work for you no "hacking" is needed, Plus just search YouTube for "tethering" on at&t Verizon or Sprint. and there are video tutorials for how to do this.

Whats weird and sad is the Verizon Sprint etc. want customers to pay $60 a month for cellphone service with unlimited data to the cellphone itself.

Plus another $60 for mobile Data card service to a Laptop 3G card which is capped at 5GB of use then its 5 cents per KB or MB over.


I pay $30 a month and have unlimited on both devices using tethering and a sweet Legacy employee plan.

 

ill say so haha hijacker!! but do you have at&t? and could you give me a link where i could get the cab files?
