Can anybody enable wifi tethering?
I try but get an error with rogers rom with rogers kernel
As an FYI, the feature works on stock Rogers phone. [just tried it with mine]
Thanks, indeed my custom kernel was the cause of it all! thanks again
Think we could find a fix for the AT&T Version of this phone? It's one feature I love.

Hi, I just reecieved my new Capativate glide yesterday. Is there any way to enable the wifi tethering without ATT charging you the extra $45 on your service plan?

Thanks, I wasn't sure if thar post was refering to cloning yourself from ATT. The only question I have is will that give me all the Rodgers branding. I would love to wait for Caynogenmod to come out with a custom rom for this phone!

Root the phone.
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/root-captivate-glide-rogers-and-att/
Use Titanium Backup to remove the tetheringmanager package.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hudXl76Rwfg
There may be other ways to do it but it worked for me. I had to reboot after removing the package or I got an error.
you can also use root explorer (must be rooted) to delete : /system/app/tethering manager.apk
DONE!
tether freely until they snag you by mac address/packet info... At&the now detecting tethering by packet type value
An app called Easy Tether will allow you to USB tether your ATT i927 without rooting.
it does require a software install on your laptop.
Wifi tethering doesn't work ... at all
Rooted or not: Wifi tethering doesn't work on mine.
Tested it with both ROMs available: Rogers & AT&T : same result : doesn't work.
I tried to remove "Tethering Manager.apk" : same result.
I always get the same error message.
After ticking the checkbox to enable "WiFi mobile hotspot"
It says :"Deconnecting WiFi"
And then "Data not available"...
And shuts down the mobile hotspot (which was not even started).
Any idea ?
Thanks.
Update : USB Tethering is now working with Rogers ROM - still no WiFi tethering (exit with an error) !

Your method works! I used titanium backup to make a backup and then remove tethering manager package and now the wifi tethering works
Many thanks!!
Alternatively, you can use the wireless tether app (I verified it works if rooted - http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/) but this method is definitely better
Works real good
Yes...I have tested it and it works fine....thanks for the link and the info
Pdanet apparently works

Thanks so much! I was trying to use another method, and didn't like the Rogers rom because it didn't have some of the integrations with my Corporate email but deleting the TetheringManager worked! Awesome!
Now I just hope I can get the ICS Update fine when that comes out Hopefully someone will do a stock ATT ICS rooted img
I have a problem: I can start wifi sharing, my computer connects to it, but then it says "limited access", without being capable of accessing to internet. i have tried on two different computers, with no success, both using Windows 7. With my older Samsung Galaxy Young and Motorola Droid 2 Global I have never had any issues.
I have tried both by removing the wifi sharing manager, and also using the Wifi tethering for Root users, mentioned above, but with no success.
Hope someone can help.

I have almost the identical setup.
Samsung Captivate Glide (SGH-I927, AT&T) I927UCLJ3 ICS 4.0.4 original stock ROM Clockwork Mod Recovery Rooted
Downloaded the Foxfi APK file onto my computer transferred it to my 927 and installed it.It works just fine (haven't used it much yet). It is the free "base" version (which is not available from google play store for ATT phones).
You have to go to the Foxfi web site to get the download,without any interference from big brother!

Hey, people!
I have an unlocked SGH-i747 I got last week. Today I tried to enable USB tethering, but I got the message "Mobile data is not available or invalid SIM"; same thing happens if I try to enable Portable Wi-Fi hotspot.
¿Any solution to this? I know I will probably have to root the phone, that's no problem.
Thanks!
Bone stock? You got to pay for it stock. Flash a custom ROM, it should work.

I have AT&T device, rooted and unlocked on another provider; also build-in tether does not work.
But it is working over 3rd party free (donate) application "Wifi tether" for rooted devices.
EDIT:
I double checked now, and it does not transmit any data over "Wifi tether" application. Sorry, it does not work....

Okay, so the question I have for OP is -- do you have network data turned on?
"Mobile data is not available" << means that data is turned off. Turn data on, then try to enable hot spot, then that should work.
http://www.marksatterfield.com
Mark, are you serious?? Of course I have network data turned on! Why would one try to share a disabled connection?
And always remember to read the whole message: "Mobile data is not available OR invalid SIM."
Have you guys tried pdanet? I've used it on stock and haven't had an issue with it.

I have the same issue, get the no mobile data or invalid sim with the built in feature. Tried different 3rd party apps and I get the same message with those. Tried the tether unlocker and that didn't work either. Even did the tethering provision file replacement and it still does the same thing. Contacted Rogers and I have tethering feature. My phone is a AT&T GS4 unlocked.

I have successfully enable wifi tethering in AT&T SGH-I747 by flashing modified framework-res.apk. It is for Android 4.4.2
I flashed my Samsung Galaxy S3 AT&T SGH-I747 and Wifi Tethering is working fine.
This is for AT&T SGH-I747 with Android 4.4.2 and with Baseband Version i747UCUFNJ1.
Download it. Once download you need to flash using any custom recovery.
Though it is not required but it is always advised to take complete backup of the device. Also, you need to try at your own risk. If you brick the phone, I won't be responsible. I flashed my phone and everything looks good.
Feel free to donate if it help.

Any of the procedures linked in this post will work for you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39415390&postcount=5
If you plan on unlocking the bootloader do that first and the unlocked bootloader process is much simpler.
I use this works perfect.

I have a request for you if you dont mind. If you still havent flashed a different firmware and are still running the Rogers one on your ZL, can you tell me if you get an error when enabling "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot". The error should be "Error occured during tethering".
I got the Rogers phone also but flashed it the first day I got it with the generic firmware 10.1.A.1.434. I never bothered checking if tethering was working in the first place. Anyway, I flashed it back to build 395 but the same thing happens so I flashed it back to 434 and unable to tether. Everything works fine apart from that.
Thanks!!

Hi Crash, I can confirm that on my Xperia ZL(Rogers), Portable Wi-Fi Tethering works, i received no Error; connected a device to the Wi-Fi hotspot just to be sure it does in fact work.

Thanks KayEx ... I actually figured it out. I configured the right APN manually but Rogers was also pushing something called Rogers Tethering which couldn't be selected but by modifying it's value from isp.apn to ltemobile.apn, the problem dissapeared.
It's all perfect now! :good:

You could try this app - http://pdanet.co/android/ (available in google play store, but may be blocked by Sprint and AT&T.)
Also works on non-rooted phones!
The only downside is you'll need to pay a one-off fee for the full version unlock key.
I have tried pdanet+ and foxfi before, it doesn't work on Sprint.
I am looking for a way to do it with root access.

Not sure how Sprint detects tethering, but there are a lot of different tethering workarounds out there, maybe one will work for you. Get an Sqlite editor, and navigate to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/telephony.db and click on "carriers" and "carriers_cache", screenshot each, and post them here. I found a way to make it work on T-Mobile, might work for Sprint too.

HTC one m9 rooted, S-off, Verizon, CM13.
Have an HTC one m9 himawl, that is rooted and also S-Off and has TWRP custom recovery. I'm running CM-13. Initially after I flashed custom recovery and CM-13 (after S-Off ing) my GPS did not work. So I reflashed back to stock, enabled GPS, then reflashed custom recovery and cm13 and my GPS worked. Alright so I had a similar issue with my screen casting, I followed the same method of flashing to stock, then enabling everything I could think, then reflashed to CM. That seemed to work. Now however I want to get WIFI hotspot to work but it will not. I can enable hotspot on CM13, people can connect to my hotspot, but no data is flowing through to the devices connected. Any help appreciated. Again this is HTC One M9 for Verizon that is S-Off and rooted. Thanks in advance.

Tried PDAnet and FoxFi also with no luck
You can enable tethering without root by modifying build.prop while in recovery. Your bootloader must be unlocked. There's a post in the general section about it.

yeah read that, thanks. Right now was holding off on that as well since it would wipe the phone and pretty much null OTA updates. I mean if Im unlocking the bootloader, a few more steps is TWRP and then FLASH AWAY! lol
Im sure Ill root, they always root
I agree; losing OTA updates is kind of a pain, but worth it to me to get tethering working again. I just flash updates manually from Google's stock images in fastboot, then modify build.prop to re-enable tethering.

Root your phone via adb and add
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
To your build prop. Restart and you should be good to go. I have done it with my Verizon pixel and it work just as it did before on any other version.

Hi, in my case I can access the APN and edit them. I CAN NOT access the Hotspot menu to turn on / off (it is hidden, it does not appear in the settings menu). I'm using a SIM from a carrier outside of the USA, everything works fine on the cell phone, except hotspot.
Any idea to help solve the problem. I not ROOT, momentarily I am using PDAnet + as an alternative, I prefer to use the native function, PDAnet + disconnects and changes the SSID every 15 minutes.
