I noticed this before i rooted too, I never came across a solution. I can only assume it is because your service provider has locked it out.

Cheers for your help looks like I'm going to have to root. I wanted to stay stock for once. Love the DHD best phone I have ever had but I did say that about my Hero (once I rooted it)

Im using Virtous ROM...Can Tmobile see if I am tethering or wifi hotspot?

I was wondering
Incorrect forum.
Answer: I believe they may be able to with how much usage, and also what throughports.
If gyou use theyre tether hotspot app then yes im sure they can tell. If you tether with some other app then all they see is data going to your phone. I dont know 100% but i will tell you i have always tethered even with my old razor and never once got a notice or complaint or anything telling me to stop

(Q) wifi tethering issue

Hey guys. I seem to have a unique issue.
I am with T-Mobile UK, and when I activate my wireless hotspot', it doesn't connect, but rather just sends me to T-Mobile mobile broadband page which demands payment to use tethering.
When I had my iPhone, I used to be able to wireless tether without this prompt. Also my family have exactly the same contract on the same price plan and they can tether with no problem.
I am rooted but haven't managed to find a market app that works! Help please as this is quite important to me.
Thank you

Need help.

I own a HTC evo 4g for sprint. Flashed it to boost mobile network last year. Since yesterday I'm not able to send, receive any texts or phone calls but I'm able to use internet from my phones data. I paid bill nothings wrong with my service. I tryed flashing new sense roms and update my prl, profile and both said it don't exist. Can someone explain toe how to fix this please.
Edit...... Internet browser doesn't work. My apps only works. I'm using my phone xda app but no internet.

I don't think many people are flashed to boost. Try asking in a boost how to thread
It's fixed, a sales guy reflashed back to stock which I find this stock Rom faster than before now.

My first guess would be that it's not going to fully function on the cellular network in India, since it's a North American phone?
Ya if it is North American phone I would assume GPS is looking for the North American GPS satellites? I know on my old Captivate you could change what satellites it looked for, I think.

If your device was rooted, you could easily change the prefered NTP server used by your phone's GPS (for example using FasterGPS). Like ConeyKiller said, that will generally allow for a faster fix. There are also other tools, like GPS Status and Toolbox, that allow you to see if your GPS finds satellites.
Except for these two features everything else is working just fine.. it's unlocked so it should work, I'm guessing.

Thank you. GPS status does not show any connected satellites, you're right it does not connect to Indian satellites. Is there any solution or any way to fix this without rooting? Cuz I bought it like 2weeks back, and I don't want to root it for another 2 3 months atleast.

Just root...nothing to be scared about if you read read and read.

[Q] Anyone find a WIFI tether app that works yet?

FoxFi doesn't seem to work on the Verizon version. Problem is that the Verizon version gets locked down so rooting may take a while. Hopefully someone will find one that works.
EDIT: Bluetooth tethering works, but it is a fraction of the speed. 10% at the most.
Edit 2: Been spoiled with Paranoid Android. Looks like root is required for free WiFi tether to work with KitKat devices.
I am not buying this phone until it is rooted because of this.
If there is a workaround, I am 100% buying this thing ASAP.
So... Anyone have some ideas?
No wifi tethering yet, but using FoxFi/PdaNet for USB tethering works fine for me in the meantime. Speed is fine running it that way.
Well excuse me guys but I think I'm missing something here. What's wrong with tethering? The default settings for tethering works fine with me without any other app.

Ops my mistake. I though you meant the feature in general is not working. Now I understand, it's working but with extra subscription while on Verizon. I'm not on the same network so I don't have such issue.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
Regards,
Don't know if it's any use to you but on Three in the UK you have to pay for tethering or it blocks internet until you reboot the phone but I found that it can't detect the computer if you're using a linux distro. Worth a try with a live disk/pen if it's just for browsing etc.

Theoretically if you had root, do you think there's an app that would work in Infrastructure mode? I'm on Sprint so root isn't a problem but I had awful tether problems with my old M7 when it went to KitKat and I had to revert back to keep my old android-wifi-tether install working.
I'm on T-Mobile and purchased clockwork mod tether. DOESN'T work on HTC ONE M8. Would really like to keep this phone but I must have working tether, where I live my cell phone gets better service than the local cable provider!

Have you guys tested this one out: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.snclab.wifitetherrouter
Works great for me on 3UK now that the new tariffs allows only 2GB of tethering. I've done over 5GB this month.

Tmobile gives you 3GB of tethering for free. They don't block the native tethering at all. After you reach the limit, tethering would redirect you to a Tmobile page. Internet services like Dropbox or League of Legends still work even though you've reached the limit. And Facebook, I believe. =.P
But I don't use any tethering apps, and I'm on Tmobile. Is there a reason why you're trying to use ClockworkMod Tether?
EDIT: I forgot, that's on their $20 data plan, the unlimited-no-throttle plan. I don't know how the native tethering works on other plans. Hmm...
