I know the ported one does, but do any of the others have tethering enabled without any carrier restrictions?
In Canada we have included tethering, so if there were any Canadian carrier roms floating around (not yet) those might work

Stupid question, has anyone tested the WiFi tethering for the JB Roms to see if you can tether for free? Or would one still have to download a tethering app.
Surely all of the Jelly Bean ROMs have free tethering included just like all of the ICS ROMs.
Because you're asking I'm assuming you're on Verizon or Sprint? If you're on GSM there's no chance at all that there's carrier firmware blocking tethering.
I'm on a GSM version running Bixsbie's Stock rooted rom. I figured since it was the Euro version of the phone, AT&T wouldn't be able to tell anyway. Nice to know for sure. Thanks!
Hi All,
I currently have a rooted TMobile T889.
I have a quick question in regards to using the TMobile based phone on the Wind network here in Canada.
After searching, I found WarlockW's instruction post on updating the APN's to remove the lock in order to utilize the hotspot for the Tmobile SGH-T889 G Note II Reference Here ---> Remove The Locked & Hidden APNS & Tethering T-Mobile APN's! - New Updated XML
However, in the instructions provided in the above link he states "for TMobile users only."
this left me confused and lead me to posting here. Does that mean for that the modification linked above is for TMobile Network users only or TMobile Phone users only?
With a TMobile based T889, what is my best option to tether using this device on the Wind Canadian AWS network? Would I be better off flashing the phone with a Wind stock ROM? If so, where can I find a copy of the Wind ROM for the T889 (Searched)?
I haveunlimited data [fair data policy usage after 10GB] with Wind and also already pay for the tethering option as well.
Thanks!
I'm with mobilicity in Calgary and tethering works with the jedix8 rom....no mods but did delete the proxy in Apn
Off the top of my head:
-Carriers can lock APN settings through CSC.
-If Wind uses a separate APN for tethering (didn't bother checking) make sure its entered properly.
-Use whatever fixes that may be required beyond APN changes (Removal of T-Mobile-specific APNs may still be necessary.) on the US T889 ROM, or, if you're going to start flashing stuff anyway, consider using a T889V, N7105 or I317(M) based ROM which have none of those restrictions.
A broad, over-generalized statement I've made before is that if you have a choice, odds are that the Canadian or International ROMs have less restrictions, branding and bloat than their US counterparts. I understand some carrier-specific features like Wi-Fi calling muddle the waters, but this isn't a concern here. And if you *do* want carrier apps, they're increasingly available from Google Play. (Or just download that carrier's stock ROM and rip them out. [Cue evil laughter.])
Good luck,
Darkshado
if you are rooted, simply download the treVee mod... that's what I use with T-mobile... you're just gonna have to edit the settings in the app to get it to work right. Simple apk download and install and ur set
I used the Jedi 8 ROM on my tmob phone. Tethering already enabled. Simple.

I'm using an unlocked AT&T G4 on TMobile, so wifi calling would be great. Is it possible flash it now that we have root?
The wifi calling seems to be intertwined through several packages on the phone. I wouldn't say it's impossible, but it'll take some work.
I'd start with going to the T-Mobile forums and ask them to upload the various T-Mobile files from their phones. You can probably find some of them on Androidfilehost.com
Hi all, sorry if this question was answered already, did a quick search but couldn't find an answer.
Is there a way to enable Bluetooth tethering on a Samsung S8+ running the T-Mobile firmware? I see options for mobile hotspot and USB tethering but the Bluetooth tethering option is not there. Hopefully this is something that doesn't require flashing a different firmware. I'm guessing that may be the only way but hopefully someone has found another way to support this.
I think I found my answer, it's most likely due to T-Mobile's firmware.
I checked Samsung's website and looked at the manuals for both the unlocked version and the T-Mobile version. The unlocked version's manual references Bluetooth Tethering while T-mobile version's manual does not.
So, did you manage to reenable it or somthing ?
According to discussions here, it seems that in US, only Verizon enables VoLTE function for ZX2C. At least, I cannot make it work with AT&T...
Then I am wondering, any of those carriers allow ZX2C to use wifi-calling?
