I have the Verizon Galaxy Nexus and the Verizon NFL mobile app does not work. It lets you download it from the market but once you open it, it says not compatible with this device. THAT SUCKS!!!. Going to have to reactivate my Bionic until they sort this out. The NFL 2011 app opens but keeps crashing along with visual voicemail from Verizon. I'm non rooted with the 4.02 update.
On a unroofed phone?I'm on Verizon I have unlimited data and tether my s3 all the time. My fear is with this phone with a locked boot. And no root. Will apps like foxfi work? I know this is tmobile but Verizon is not out yet anybody test this I would love to know if you can wifi tether your tmobile phone without root. Thank you in advance for testing...
I have a couple of USB versions of tethering apps (ClockworkMod Tether and PdaNet) that I tested out on this device with 100% success. And I am not on the hot spot data plan. I personally only use it for times that I really need it (rarely). But I wanted to find out if it can be done through my current plan.
But SGH-T889, T-Mobile version of Samsung Galaxy Note 2, doesn't have its bootloader locked. Only the SIM usage on the device to be used other carriers is locked. But once we paid for the device outright, completing the contract, or cancel service & pay for the cancellation fee, T-Mobile will unlock the SIM usage on your device to use with other carriers. So yes, you can root SGH-T889, T-Mobile version of Samsung Galaxy Note 2, at anytime with no problem (as long as you follow instructions). Just that when there is an OTA update or Samsung Kies flash update we need to unroot it, stock ROM it, then take the OTA update or flash with Samsung Kies. Also if we need to get it repaired we need to reset the flash numbering too.
Bootloader locked is a different thing altogether. Despite that the bootloader is/will be locked in Verizion version of Note 2 I still believe that you can at least use the USB for tethering with ClockworkMod Tether that doesn't need a rooted device.
I do believe the community will find way/s around the bootloader being locked on Verizon's Note 2. But when is really the question.

The WiFi tethering part I can't do that with this plan I have. Only through USB. If I went to their Hot Spot plan ($5 more) then yes I can. This is due to an app that they have running "Mobile HotSpot" (T-Mobile's own app). I believe if you freeze that app then, yes you can. I would also check with other ROMs for SGH-T889 (T-Mobile) Note 2 to see if the developer taken out or freeze that app. But this is due to that app and not because it is locked or unlocked. I really can't blame T-Mobile on this one. Unlimited data and WiFi tethering would easily get out of hand and cause the network to not function. Completely different from Verizon's tier system, where you paid for certain amount of data and you should, but don't, have whatever access to that data that you pay for.
Verizon has this fail safe with tethering usage on their end of LTE network. This is why people get warnings and kicked off from Verizon Wireless. Now Verizon has the tier system and charge per device on their network that both help in curving this issue. Again this due to the fail safe that Verizon put into their LTE network.
FoxFi doesn't support Jelly Bean.

On T-Mobile, if you freeze/uninstall the app Tethering Provision, you can use the wifi-hotspot with some caveats. 1, You can't start the app directly(It will crash). You can download a wifi widget from the market that will start the app no problems. 2, T-mobile current scans Http traffic for user agents. So if you use a desktop browser you'll get your traffic blocked. There are a couple of ways around this. Https works fine because it's encrypted. You can change your User agent to any non destop browser and it works fine. I found that xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or similar garbage works best because it doesn't cause sites to show up as mobile and T-Mobile wont block it. Or you can use Tor or anything else that will encrypt your traffic.
But seeing as you want to tether to your Ipad, It should work perfectly with no issues as of **NOW**
My foxfi works. I cant explain why. I am stock with root, and unlocked. My hotspot app comes up asking me to configure it, I simply ignore it and continue using foxfi.

Is your foxfi still working? What's your android version? Thanks.
I have the tmobile note 2, unlocked, Android 4.1.1, it can hotspot using foxfi if I am using a Straight Talk at&t sim, but not with my tmobile sim.

That make me wonder: does anyone know of a carrier that sells "prepaid" or "metered" SIM with data plan? I will remove Verizon's SIM and stick it in instead only when I need wifi hospot. It should be cheaper than paying $30/month for the service or switching to Verizon's "Share Everything" from my current unlimited.

I treid foxfi on my rooted sgh-t889 with stock OS. It appears to work (tried using other tether apps like wifi tether, turns on but didn't broadcast SSID) but to be quite honest i cant verify because i haven't enabled data on my plan yet!
Im prepaid so I'm waiting for then ext cycle before i can really be sure, but like i said and others apparently too, foxfi seems to be functional for what its worth on sgh-t889
I tried Foxfi today on my tzones plan using a AT&T Note 2 with T-mobile Service (unlocked the aws band), it seems to work fine.
Anyone use this app longterm on T-mobile and with T-zones?
I switched from AT&T to TMobile and none of my notifications are working. Email, Google Voice, Facebook. None.
I had this phone on AT&T and it was fine. Ever since porting my number to TMobile, it has all stopped.
I have AOKP 4.2.2. ROM
Any advice?
First thing is first.
Im guessing you unlocked your note 2 from ATT to work with your new TMO sim card..
Have you verified your voice and data services are activated on the new sim card?
Can you use WiFi to connect to data on the note2? If so then you have no data with TMO?
We need more info.

Yes, the phone is unlocked.
Data works on the phone with the WiFi on or off.
Plan is good, I did everything at the TMobile store and they registered the new sim card

Not receiving any notifications might have more to do with your ROM than the service provider. Try out a different ROM and see of you're having the same experience.

If data works with or with out wifi then minhajmsd is pointing you in the right direction. Sounds like a ROM issue..
Are the apn's good?

I thought the same thing but he said data works with WiFi on and off. So if data works with WiFi off then the APN must be good.
Yeah, it was the ROM that was bad.
Thanks for the help guys!!
Post what rom you had just in case someone else has similar issues and has the same ROM.
I am having close to the same problem. I recently updated from MyRom v3 to v6 and no longer recieve notifications from apps such as twitter,fb, or snapchat etc. any idea why?
Hello everyone
My question is simple. How can I get google wallet on my T889V Note 2? I live in Canada and my carrier is Mobilicity. Will I be able to get google wallet working? And does my cell carrier matter?
thanks!
bump
I tried it a while ago. The official apk won't go further than telling you the device or mobile network you are on doesn't support Google Wallet yet. The Modaco modified ones wouldn't work on registering cards, probably because there's no official Google Wallet support in Canada at all.
I own the note 3 from AT&T and I'm currently on T-Mobile. Isis mobile wallet works only if the carrier and the phone are from the same carrier. Can someone advice on how I can get Isis wallet working? Will replacing the build.prop with the T-Mobile's build.prop help?
I thought of a few things and will update this thread accordingly.
As far as I know the build.prop mod doesn't work anymore but that's on Google Wallet, I think there's a thread in T Mobile Note3 Android development on trying to get Google Wallet to work they might have some info on Isis for you
