i swear froyo has hotspot built in by default? you shouldn't need an app...
menu > settings > wireless and networks > portable wifi hotspot
there's a separate setting menu where you can set up your network name and password, make sure you're connected to 3g and you're good to go
I think us cellular took out the ability so I need to know if I can get it back or make one with an app thanks for the reply

hah this is beyond me then. i've heard stories about mean US carriers...but hey at least u got access to 4G...
maybe tethering apps without root, or rooting and custom rom should give you the ability. however will your carrier still detect either method?

I have a wonderful AT&T r800at. The bootloader is unlocker, and it's rooted. Can anyone please help me with the tethering? I have a Acer A500 tab that I want to share the internet with. I've tried various wifi tethering apps but none seem to work. I don't care if it's wifi, bluetooth, or wired tethering I just really want some advice on what I need to do.
Please help!

Have you tried Barnacle? It's worked on every Android phone I've owned.

I have tried that one actually. No luck.
Don't you need a tethering plan for AT&T? I heard they were really cracking down on the people who used it without a plan.

Barnacle needs root. If you are rooted it works great on the Play. No plan required
It's your bloated att firmware you have. They lock that feature in there firmware. I have att play and flashed to r800a generic 2.3.3. Under settings/Sony Ericsson/connectivity. You can enable option and then connect with a USB or select hotspot. You don't need a tethering plan but a data plan. Beware it goes through you limited data fast.
You don't need root or your bootloader unlocked either to use this option.

I agree with Aranium. You just need a generic rom(in other words-DEBRAND) And an unlimited internet plan(NOT tethering). I know this, because I do this myself and as of right now there is no data cap on unlimited post-paid plan even though they throttle the network. The stock AT&T Roms with all the bloatware also have a lock on the tethering/hotspot function in the Rom that asks you to dial 611 to purchase the upgrade to your plan. If you want to keep an eye on your data usage after you debrand just download 3g watchdog from the market. My opinion-its your data to do what you want with it, even if that means sending to the less fortunate & needy devices.lol
Is it just me or does the tethering hot spot not working for ZenFone 550ml?
I can turn it one fine and ppl see my name but they just can't use the data from my phone
Same problem. Fine a suggested solution but not work for me.
Hi
I have the same problem.
Even I have factory reset my Zenfone 2, the personal hotspot still does not work just by one single reboot/restart without modifying any system file, personal backup data or apps update.
I found a person suggested on ASUS forum to disable the SIM2 and reboot. Per his claim, the personal hotspot works again.
I did pay a trial but my beloved zenfone 2 cellphone still rejects routing the mobile network connection for all connected wireless devices to my phone.
I have already reported to ASUS regarding this issue and I believe this is the firmware issue.
I remember that the same personal hotspot function worked before (maybe before 2 previous syustem updates).
If you find other solutions/suggestions, please post it here.

I have the same issue (latest WW firmware 2.15.40.13 - model 4GB/32GB/1.8Ghz).
Hotspot enabled, devices connect/authenticate but cannot access internet. The mobile data is working fine, as I can browse the web on the phone, but it does not route to devices connected via wifi hotspot.
interesting...
i guess we have to wait for the next update
this is not good.......

Also you should have correct APN for tethering (ie APN Type : default,supl,dun) DUN is very important for connexion sharing. So check your APN and if necessary edit them accordly
how do you check your apn?
no i am on that same firmware but nothing is working

Go to settings-->More--> Mobile Networks --> Access Point Names --> (Choose your sim card) --> Access Point Names
i tried to change the apns but didn't work with tethering
i am not sure why it won't work

i am able to use data in my phone before and after the change but just won't able to share data to other devices
I am experiencing the same issue on my 551ML. The workaround of disabling both sim card, then enabling only sim 1 and after activating wifi hotspot seems to work
oh man mine didn't work for the way you did it
turn off both sims and reactiveate sim 1 and turn on hotspot
maybe its the model, i have the 550ml
Same here, 551ML latest firmware. Messing around with sims doesn't work. Connects to tablet but no data is getting past the phone.

It can be a hardware prob...Check with different carrier's sim card and check if tethering is working with that one... Try contacting your service provider and ask them for apn and settings for zenfone 2... If nothing works try replacing ur device under warranty
This used to work before I went to the . 13 firmware.
I presume the next release may fix this and break something else.
Would settle for a decent battery life at the moment. Tethering isn't a major issue as I have a contract mifi unit I can use. I also presume tethering would fry the battery even quicker so I'm happy to avoid at the moment.

If u really want to use tethering u can anytime flash that rom...And for the battery if u r rooted use Greenify and delete bloatware from phone...It helps a lot....And use power saver feature on this phone... Asus really needs to do sumthing about battery backup..
No not rooted. I can't use a card payment system or a couple of TV apps if rooted.

U can anytime hide root from those apps...There is this app which lets you hide root from certain apps...I am not sure RootCloak works with Lollipop but u can give it a try...
What's up,
Has anybody figured out a way to tether LTE data through our galaxy s7 actives without having to activate it through att? I have used fox Fi on previous devices as well as custom Roms and tweaks to get this feature working so I can use my unlimited data to its potential while on longs trips with a tablet. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers

I think sidesync is your best best. It's worked on my s7 edge, note 7 and now s7 active. It's not wireless, but it does the job.
there is a way to do it using an att apn and then once the hotspot starts up, go back to the apn and then switch back to the original.
it worked back when i had the s7 active.

**UPDATE** I have wifi tethering working via the root method as described in this method.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-active/help/samsung-galaxy-s7-active-root-t3473649
Once rooted you will have to install the Xposed framework, and activate the "X tether" module which can be found in the root thread. Once that has been activated, you will be able to use your phone as a wifi hotspot without activating the annoying ATT plan :good:
odd, as im in UK... (on three) using my Active, my mobile hotspot works with the inbuilt stuff from settings ! .. no problems whatso ever!?..
Yup I'm currently not rooted, I got into my settings, Connections Mobile Hotspot turn it on. I've never had to pay extra for it or anything it just works on my S7 Active and I use it a fair amount.

I have unlimited data but can't tether...
When you sign up for At&t unlimited data plan, they take your ability to tether. Will rooting allow me to make my phone a mobile hotspot while I'm still on an unlimited data plan? If so, could someone point me in the right direction please?
Hey everyone, @xdabbeb was kind enough to modify the original 13B hotspot provision for our phone. I know people have been having issues with data packet drops and other hotspot problems with the modified LG G3 hotspot provision that we've been using from the other hotspot thread, and this might fix these issues. Replace apk in the system/app/HotspotProvision folder, set permissions, and reboot.

OK, Thank you... This is the only feature I wish my LG4 had as I still have unlimited data grandfathered in.. Looks like its time to do the KDZ method finally.
I didn't realize this existed, much better to use the native app and modded for unlimited access. I've had to reinstall this app because I went to 13b. On a separate note, I got a warning message that requires a Verizon LTE SIM to use the hotspot, but it allowed me to use on AT&T 4G (HSPA+) on grandfathered unlimited data plan. Thanks for the thread.
now usb tethering is working too. thanks
I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to report this file worked for me with the 2BA firmware. I just switched over to Red Pocket and I was having issues with the regular hotspot application functioning (Verizon restrictions), but this let me use the hotspot once more. I'll be switching over to the GSMA version next month, hopefully it will continue to function. Thanks!

Even if it doesn't there's always a way to get tethering to work. There's a app called wifi tether on play store will work might need root though
yea... but I really want to avoid root....
should work
Any phone that isn't carrier locked should work. Cricket auto setup the internet apn and a tethering apn when I first put the sim card in my 7x. If it does this just delete the tethering apn and you should be good to go. Unlocked phones don't have the carrier firmware that notifies them if the hotspot is on or give them the ability to control hotspot access.
Nice thread. I'm also a cricket customer and once I get the update I'll give it a test and report it back here ?
It's dead
I updated today with the SE NA keyone. I can confirm the update will kill your free hotspot tethering. I've even tried creating other APNs with no luck. I tried using pda+ as well and that did not work.
