Wifi Hotspot

I've been looking through the forums and I've seen a lot of hotspot hacks. Which one should I install through cwm and if I do set my phone as a portable hotspot, will it show up on my Sprint bill and give me the hotspot plan?

Wireless Tether app is one of the most popular also you don't need to use CWM to install, it can be downloaded right from the Market. The only thing is you need root. I have Sprint and so far they haven't made me pay extra for the tethering.

Go here for 4G Hotspot.

It won't show up your bill as long as you use cm and a hot spot hack

works on tmobile too!
OMG I love you! That works for T-Mobile as well! For some reason though it doesn't work on Chrome; I'm on Firefox now and it's working flawlessly.
1) Download WiFi Tether for Root Users 3.2-pre1 *** EXPERIMENTAL ***
2) Set device profile to genetic ics and setup method to netd master
3) Use firefox? It's probably something to do with User Agents

No data cap here. I used about 15g last month and the month before. No throttling either.

originally had mine set to nexus one(cdma), with the method set to auto and it worked that way as well, just as an fyi.

Sorry, just want to clarify, on a rooted Verizon device this is working like an actual hotspot and not in ad hoc mode right?

correct, wireless hotspot

So I'm a little confused. I have unlimated data so would it be better to use the hotspot app or this tether app?

downloading now!!!!!

If you are referring to the stock verizon hotspot app, you have to pay a monthly fee. That is why he is mentioning this other app.

works on sprint, unlike the latest play store version(tried yesturday).
thanks

Ok, that's kind of what I thought. But I opened the app and it didn't warn me about any charges so I didn't know.

I tried this tether app and it says it's working but my laptop can't see it. In the log the only failure is setting ad hoc.

Anyone know the name of the Verizon HotSpot app to freeze in Titanium to make that go away and then just see Android Wi-fi Tether in the app drawer?

Well mine shows everything enabled but my laptop and iPad see nothing...

Had the same problem at first. Kept changing the settings as the ones mentioned earlier in the thread initially did not work. Finally the mac saw the device and connected (turned airport off then back on), but no data transfer. Kept messing with settings, turning tether on and off.
All of a sudden it just started working. Tested it on two separate computers and both worked fine. I wish I could say what I did but honestly I think the settings mentioned above are correct but for some reason, you just need to fiddle with tether a bit until you get it to work. Once it starts working, it seems to be fine after that.

Are any of you being throttled in any way? I've installed this on my Dinc4g and my downloads seem to be throttled. I'm getting .7/5 when using Wifi-Tether.. but speedtest from the phone is constantly getting 12/12.
It's functioning fine, I just can't find a way to get my speeds to be the same as they are on the phone.
Are you guys doing anything special with disabling/removing specific Verizon apps, or is a simple root + wifi-tether working flawlessly?

T mobile unlimited data?

I went with their unlimited 4g data plan yesterday they told me I couldn't use hotspot anymore. So now I need to know is that feature now blocked on UN rooted phones? Because I'm running a custom tw Rom and the hotspot still works

You can use tethering aps from Google play market
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Yeah it should be blocked if you're unrooted. It should redirect you to a page asking if you want to add it to your plan (at least that's what it did for me), etc... I actually still had issues tethering when I went to a custom tw rom but when I finally switched over to a cm10 nightly I no longer had issues tethering.

If you can't get past the redirect page when you are using hot spot try using firefox. I swear it works.

has been working for me for days since I signed up for unlimited 4g data plan.

I always just used PDAnet. We had a storm come through the other day and knocked out my home internet for a couple days. I had PDAnet (that I downloaded from the PLAY store) and used it to watch Netflix. Worked like a charm. Root isn't even required.

So the consensus here is that even with the (no tether unlimited 4g) plan tethering still works just fine? Or someone said that you must use firefox on the tethered pc and another said that pda.net app must be used? I'm looking to save some money by switching from my 10gig data plan but need to know that it will still tether first.

No one said you have to use anything. If you are rooted, tethering will work fine. You can't use the built-in tethering if you are not running a custom rom.

I too am considering the plan. Very interested to know the actual charges are at the end of billing cycle. Contracts usually have additional fees every month. That being said the cost of the plan sound really good. I am averaging about 10mb download with highs of 16mb with my no contract tmobile plan. It sucks on beachside but was kind of expecting that,can go from 100kb to 8mb down within a block or two. Might just be interference.
I would also like to know if calling mart credits can be added to the account or other providers credits work.Then I would actually be paying less than the price they are asking. About 5 percent less when i can find the codes that are still valid!
Please keep us posted everyone! Let us know if thier are any problems after tethering and how much are you tethering percentage wise daily. I want to cut out the cable and would just go to tethering for home if i can.
Also thinking that after sept 12th,tmobile may try to lure others into thier plans with free phones on that value plan,hope so,then can sell that phone(one s?) and get that Gnexus i been wanting to try .

tethering to PC browsers is what sets it off. If yuo are going to tether to other phones or tablets, TMO wont make you pay for the service.

But that's not wireless

[Q] Tether for LTE

So I just decided to get a note 2 with Sprint as my provider.
I plan on rooting as soon as I get it (Friday I hope!) After I root I plan on getting tether going.
Since I travel for a living (pilot) I need tethering to avoid crappy hotel wireless.
What is the best tether for root users.
With my old EVO I used wireless tether which worked great.
However I plan on using tether whearever I have a LTE signal. Is LTE tethering apps different that regular tethering?
Thanks!

as of now there is only one way to tether with our phone through a modded version of wireless tether for root users, check the faq to see where to get it

"wireless tethering works now". That's all it says. Where is the link to the mod?

that's on the first question, if you read lower there is a question "is there a way to tether wirelessly?" which has a link

File link for WifiTether_TrevE_Mod_11_20_2012_insmodv3.apk
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390169635556426691
Saw this too "Installed the latest 11/20 build and can confirm the WIFI re-connection issue. Fell back to 11/18, which seems to run perfect.
Maybe it's the fact that my phone is a Sprint GS3. I do see many GS3 owners having the same issue. "
I don't know if the Note 2 has issues with the 11-20 version or if it is only the SGS3. If there are any issues..I would consider trying the 11-18 version.

[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!

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...
