I'm on 2.3.6 stock ROM and the phone info menu (*#*#4636#*#*) doesn't work?
Is it just me?
Edit:
I definitely remember it worked on stock 2.3.5.
I tried it on Dewizzed and that doesn't work either, so I'm assuming it's not on our phones.

You know, I was just trying to use it and realized it doesn't work either. Is there another way to use
BT and airplane mode without it?

Just tried it on juggernauts and it doesn't work either. That's odd....I remember when I first got this phone it did work. Is there something you need to get to? Perhaps we might be able to suggest an alternate

i don't believe it works on any 2.3.6 based roms, but "battery monitor widget" from the market would have this option available to view the stats and other stuffs, free app.
As mentioned you can use "battery monitor widget" or "Network" available from the market to access the menu.
Also a neat app to have is "SGS Secret Codes"
Confirmed that it does work on 2.3.5

Things you will need:
1) rooted phone
2) root explorer app (paid)
3) sqlite editor (paid - root explorer will direct you to it)
*** Now that cm9 is available I wanted to update this posting to let you know that these instructions are for stock gingerbread as well as the custom gingerbread roms. Cm9 has this option natively and you won't need to do this on cm9. Just want to save anyone from having problems with cm9. Now if your on gingerbread, go for it. ***
Now go to this directory with root explorer:
/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
(You will have an option to open it with the internal viewer or SQLite editor, choose SQLite editor)
Select secure
Now locate tether_entitlement_check_state and change the value to 0 then save and reboot.
Now you can use the built in tethering without the pop-up saying that you don't have a tethering plan.
I hope this helps you guys out.
Disclaimer: As chrisd1a1 pointed out doing this is at your own risk as far as breaking your terms of service with at&t. I do not know if at&t can detect this or what the result will be if they do. I'm just throwing this out there as another option.

Yeah, it's working and working great!
Big fat thanks, dude!
Yeah it does work great. But I'm not sure if at&t can see it being used. I've used it on and off for about a month and had no problems with them. Glad it worked for you!

This is exactly why I'm using the ClockWorkMod app. I've already been kicked off my unlimited data plan once for "unauthorized tethering" and it was hell getting back on the plan. The loophole to do so is no longer available, so I really don't want to get kicked again.
I'll have to wait and see how it works out for others. But good job on showing us the way to enable it. Thumbs up!
If I'm not mistaken, the tether_entitlement_check_state will not be available in the database until first attempt enabling tethering.
interesting thread. moved to DEV as this could be handy for future development.
the only disclaimer I'll put in is that it's at your own risk if you break any terms of service from your carrier....

This is good, thanks! but I've been using pdanet along with foxfi from the market and these apps work too

Excellent
Thx.
I've done this with my phone I only use the tethering maybe once a month and only for a short time. I do not know the effects of this with at&t but I figured I'd throw it out there as another option. Also I'm updating the op to state that.

I can't think of any reason why they wouldn't be able to detect it. It works the same way as it does on any other Android device.
this method has been DISABLED by ATT in the latest leaked ICS.

Because our ICS roms are all AT&T based, we don't have that functionality yet, as AT&T charges extra for that services.
Once we get T-Mobile official leak, rom, or source, it'll get fixed.
Kendr1ck is right, AaronPauley is mistaken. Download the free app that Kendr1ck linked to. If it doesn't work initially, hit menu> settings> change device profile and switch it from Auto to Galaxy Nexus (GSM). This worked for me without a hitch.
Edit: I should edify; technically AaronPauley is right. The built in hotspot is disabled due to the reasons he specified. There are just workarounds that make it possible via third party apps

Ok I am on the new unlimited data plan that just came out. I was rooted on the stock rom.
T mob pushed me a text last night saying wireless tether has been blocked for me. I was using the wifi tether app from the play store and it seems I cant use it. I also tried foxfi and its not doing anything.
So I flashed cm10 thinking I could get around it and I saw I couldnt tether still with it?
Edit using uvlh2 radio
Was still using stock kernal
Any ideas guys?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Which radio/baseband are you running? If you've updated to the newest leaks, ie. LI2 or LI3...somehow wifi tethering isn't working. But i've gone back to LH2 and everythings good.

I had the WiFi Tether App v3.1 beta working on H2 on ICS. It will not work on any JB with the same radio.
On frosty's JB ROM, hotspot in settings wanted to start up, but it immediately tried to get me to upgrade to tethering plan - and then would close when I wouldn't.
It only FC'd on Xquizi JB, and the beta will not work there either. The beta had worked on the ICS ROM's I had tried - including Xquizi's. Did not use it enough to be sure TMo would not block it though.
Are you saying it functions but ur getting the upsell page? If that's the case the baseband shouldn't matter. They block ur tethering based on your user agent. Make sure ur not using internet explorer. Best way around it is Firefox w/ the user-agent switcher add-on.
I'll keep that in mind. I however had the text from t mob saying its been blocked. It can still connect to the net but I get the up sell page.

OP's problem is different. His T-mobiles fault. I have been running into it too. Here is how I am currently working around it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1883120&page=4
I am still looking for a better solution.
So the title says it all!
This is aimed at us GS3 owners who are fortunate enough to be running Jelly Bean thanks to Freeza...Well one of the down sides of the LJ7 JB update is that WiFi Tether no longer works for us! What a shame!!
Well I may just have a solution that will make you and your phone very very happy.
Follow the steps below:
1) Download WiFi Tether app from Play Store
2) Open app, and hit Menu, then tap Settings
3) There should be an option in Settings to configure your device with the app, in that option change Galaxy SIII to Galaxy Nexus!This worked for me and I am now enjoying the pro's of LJ7 JB while tethering like a boss! haha
If this worked, please hit that thanks button, it helps me greatly

For ROOT users only, This app will be the first or second when you search "WiFi Tether" it has a Yellow WiFi icon
Did not work for me.

Did you save? It should work, Its been working for me.
I am trying this but I can not make it work. The app says that it is working but nothing can see the SSID or connect.
I tried both of the nexus options and it's a no go.
Doesn't work
I'm just going to assume this method does not work. Sprint blocked the tethering in purpose, it doesn't work on jelly bean for the moment, unless you can show proof?

Nope.

Btw, anyone looking for working tether on a ROM, as far as i know, all AOSP ROMs have it working, it's the TW ROMs that are having problems.

So this whole wifi tether issue. It seems fixable at some point and time. I had the hotspot working for like 2 days but never paid anything extra for it. It no longer works so I guess sprint is paying attention to something. LOL. I love the Jellybean though.
Tried it already...no go
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Already tried them all. None work on JB...don't waste your time.
Does anybody know if it's possible to do USB tethering on Jelly Bean?
USB tethering works fine for me, using the 'easytether lite' app. Let's hope the wifi team solves the JB issue soon.

Ok first off I've researched and studied this to hell and posting is my last resort. I'm rooted, use vpn shields, have tried several top rated tethering apps from the play store and a proxy. None work, once I try to load a website on my PC the t mobile web page pops up about tethering and such, I am unable to tether. Anyone with suggestions?

That didn't work. As in the app errors out so I didn't get a chance to test it and it's no longer in the play store.

in order to have Tethering work, you MUST Flash the Kernel with a "Tweaked" version that allows Wifi Tether.
the file I got downloaded, I forgot where from is named, SetUIDRestrictRemovedKernel.zip
If you do a google search using the filename I provided above, It should be the second choice. ( I just did the search)
it'll download when you select to....

if you're using the included Tethering app it works right out of the box! It's the "Trev_E_Mod" tethering and others that are not possible to enable without the Kernel patch......
Ya it seems all the custom roms I tried I could not for the life of me get wifi tethering to work. I had to go back to stock TW for M919 and now it works perfectly. I wish I heard about the tweaked kernel before. Will try the tweaked kernel when I get an itch to flash something new hopefully 4.4 real soon!
