[Q] Working tethering app without monthly fee? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

Does anyone know of a working tethering app that bypasses the native one?

You need to be rooted to bypass... WifiTether (basic name I know) works good once you are

Hmm I was under the impression Wifi tether was broke in jb

Funny..I came in here to ask the same thing. Wifitether works but it doesn't broadcast the SSID properly. Not even by typing the name in manually can you connect. So, no...it doesn't work in JB. But I also would like tether to work.

I tried all afternoon with many different apps to get some sort of tether working, and was unsuccessful with anything other than "Klink Tether" which is a paid app in the Play store. It is a USB tether and it works very well. Highly recommended.

Cm10. Wifi tether worked on my gs3 if I remember correctly.
Which cm10 won't be too much longer for an alpha for us.

Did anyone try PDANET?

EasyTether works fine. I'm using it for years on all of my phones. It never failed me. I'm using it right now as a matter of fact.
Edit: If you are ok with wired tethering. If you look for Wi-Fi... then I don't know of any way. Yet.

same here. it'll hold me over until wifi tether gets working.

Thanks a lot! and Wifi Tether for root actually works on my 4.1 NS4G. So for those programs to work you have to be connected via USB?

Yes.
Or someone mentioned BT tethering with different app. I don't know since I don't use it.

EasyTether works. It's a $10 app, but there is a free version. Free version blocks all https websites, however.
Just to be clear, this is a USB tether. I don't know of any hotspot hacks yet.
EasyTether also requires a program running on your computer.

II think it used to be cheaper. I don't remember how much I paid. I think it's worth it though. Besides... not so many other options at this time and still much less than one month paying for official hotspot.

You know whats funny....(not really) is while at the Sprint store, every phone that was being sold, the salesperson said. You do understand that illegally tethering will get your contract cancelled, do you understands? .
Asked me too and I was like, huh, tethering, I just go to Starbucks :silly:? (hoping he wouldn't hit the big fat tethering button on my home screen (old phone) he was holding. whoops....

I wonder how exactly can they detect someone tethering?

It's a violation of your contract, so yeah, they "reserve the right to terminate". Same can be said for a lot of things that happen on this forum. Just don't abuse it and they won't bother you.

Will I need to pay the ETF if they terminate the contract?

USB tether is built into the phone. Has Sprint blocked it? It doesn't seem to work for me.

USB 4G Tether

Wanted to share this with anyone who isn't aware. We can tether our ET4G on 4G but it requires USB and a 3rd party app. I tested it tonight with the free version of EasyTether and it works like a charm. Not personally interested in spending $10 for the full app but to some it may be worth it.
I haven't tested Klink but it's only $4 and it may work as well as a cheaper alternative.

Sweet, checking that out now. I see the free version doesn't allow https. I'll have to download the app to see how much the full version costs because I don't see it listed in the market.
To use these tethering method doesn't required the phone to be rooted, right? Also, will I be charged if I try to use it and can sprint figure out that I am tethering for free? I don't want to get a bill for hundreds or even thousands of dollars. How safe it is to tether undetected and are lots of people doing it for free with no penalty? I would like to tether for free but am just too afraid of getting caught and charged for it.
To be honest with you I used to have AT&T and now I have sprint and i've never once got a txt or anything in the mail telling me to stop. On AT&T I was running Cyanogen Mod and on my ET4G i'm running Calkulin's which has NoCIQ. If you aren't familiar with NoCIQ it basically makes it so sprint can't tell how your phone is using the data.
I wouldn't trust tethering if you're running a stock rom, even if the dev of the software says it's safe.

I think you might want to quantify your statement regarding NoCIQ. I've yet to see any published report from any reliable source showing it being used for data measurement. All a carrier has to do is look for unusual spikes in data volume.

I've had an android on sprint for almost 2 years now, always rooted, always tethering, always stock rom. Ciq still on there. They have never told me anything. And I always use 3rd party apps for tethering. I honestly don't think they know/care. At the end of the day, it works for the most of us, and we don't really abuse it; thus, they really shouldn't have a problem with it. They're bull**** hot spot app from sprint is ridiculously slow anyway. There's a huge difference in speed... its almost like they want us to find our own way of tethering lol.
That's my rationale and I'm sticking to it.

You may be right.. but they would have to prove what is using the data.. I have a torrent app on my phone I download stuff with and that uses a ton of data with out being tethered.

What do you use for tethering?

Just got my T-mo GSIII, and just wanted to see what wireless tethering apps work, if any. I need something to keep me until AOSP roms come to the US GSIII. I'm going away for 2 weeks today, and desperately need internet access for my laptop, but find the fees for tethering rediculous.
Once rooted I use wifi tether from the market, works great.
Try Foxfi it works pretty good

Where at looking for a native option like on the sg2 days when you froze a certain app to make it work. Couldn't find anything in that everyone seems happy with the apps which u think they suck as well. There was one thread where they mentioned freezing an app but it broke wifi calling. Any help would be appreciated.

Wow, Sprint blocked this from the market on my phone and on the desktop it states Foxfi is not available on your carrier. Foxfi does provide an external link though, thumbs up for them.
Not working on Verizon?

Try using the Market Access app. It will spoof your carrier so you can access the apps available on the market from TMobile or AT&T.

Did you use another program such as FOXfi? Or did you just use what was built in? If you use a third party program I don't think at&t can detect?? Maybe? I have been using a third party program and they haven't said boo. But then again I haven't really been accessive with my data. Your thoughts on this? Thanks.

Android's built-in tethering can't avoid detection, but some alternative methods can. Here is one that can avoid detection (USB tethering only though): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.tether
It won't show up on your phone's Play Store because AT&T blocked the app for all their devices, but you can sideload it.

I always kind of suspected this. Guess I'll stick with my current habit of popping my SIM card into my HP Veer if I need to tether. At least WebOS is still good for something! :silly:

Mmm tethering. I've always found it ridiculous that carriers charge so much for it, when it is a capability inherent to the phone you paid for.

Yes you can bypass the carriers restrictions or use a ROM that doesn't have restrictions but sure enough the carriers have a way of finding out. So be cautious. AT&T, for example may send you a warning but if they don't or you don't heed the warning they can slap on the tether plan or worse yet cancel your service. So again be careful.

The reason why the phone companies behave this way is because all the profits made by them come from the data plans. Not a single one makes money on voice plans so they get a little jealous when one does something that takes money out of their pocket. We as consumers do have a say, its called going to a competitor if one doesn't like a provider, control how much you spend till your contract is up then leave.

I don't use my data that much, maybe about 2GB a month, but I still hate the fact that every company want to charge for tier pricing. But the idea of the company able to charge for the service it doesn't do anything is insane. Sure if you want to let the company do so then go ahead, but then if you can do it yourself, then it become self service and you shouldn't have to pay. This is like they should be able to charge extra a month if you let you friend borrow your phone to make a call or to use 3rd party headset. Majority of people don't actually share the bandwidth with other people but rather to use the data of themself on another device.

[Q] Tethering to PS3 does not work

So i have a T-Mobile GS3 and its rooted running Deviants Development Frosty Jelly bean. :good::good::good:
and i am using a moded app fo WifiTether. its called WifiTether_TrevE_Mod_11_22_2012.apk (Credit to the Techfanatic9 guy he showed me how to do it) the app runs great and actually i have no problem when i tether to my mac on my windows i had to download a firefox and chrome mod called used agent and change the setting to googlebot. then my internet worked perfectly. since i have T-Mobile i have unlimited 4g and that is great, because im am saving lots of money now that i have tethered rooting.
however when i try to plug it into my ps3 it does not work. at the beginning it did and then it stopped working. do you guys have any idea as to why and what can i do to fix this problem?
Some of these custom roms the devs make on here don't have tethering working i noticed too and the rom i would recomend for you which is guaranteed to have tethering working is the Xtremeperia rom for the galaxy s3 by Jovy in the android development section. I can totally understand your frustration where your other devices try to connect to your phone but they don't get anywhere. I have all you can eat true 4g from tmobile so i enjoy tethering.

Thats why. Its impossible to change a user agent on the PS3. You are completely out of luck with that plan. T-Mobile is blocking the PS3 UA.
Yea all you can eat 4g is hands down awesome. Nothing compares to it. Its even faster than the att uverse I had. Could you give me the link for that rom. I looked for it and could not find it. I want to test it out.

Not only ps3, my it blocks my vita too.
To the person above me, probably. But a ps3 has to build something to change the agent.

Only way I could get it to work is by purchasing a VPN client.
Amazon EC2 micro open vpn free
Amazon ec2 micro open vpn > open vpn android > trevE mod wifi tether > laptop (no UA change)
i run CM10 stable and i reflashed an old linksys router with dd wrt software and turned it into a repeater then i connect it to my phone and tether. i run my ps3, tf700, desktop and other phones off of it.. havent had an issue with cm10 and tethering.

You must be blocking the ability to track your user agent because it's impossible to constantly tether without getting blocked eventually

I've done the same.. I've tried VPN as well but no luck.. I've done it all. To setting APN app to system app, then deleting APN's and restoring from the given "T-Mobile APN" xml file thats here on XDA.. but still no luck.. I'm running T-Mo's Note 2.. Of course i can get the laptop/desktop's to work because of the UA but other than that no luck on my end...
Maybe a different VPN app? I'm thinking if theres a way to change the phone somehow, instead of messing with the PSN or PS3's UA... hmm..
I haven't confirmed the USB tether to computer with router fix yet.. Seeing as my phone won't turn on USB tethering for the life of it.. :/ I can flash DD-WRT to my router if it helps.. any suggestions?
EDIT: Also, I'm on the unlimited 4G plan as well. I've also changed ROM's and no luck.. Running Jedi X8, but going to try other ones that may work better with Tethering.. (I've also tried MIUI as well.. the most current one didn't have any luck either)
