i have the 800at rooted play and i can't get it to tether wifi. i can tether via usb but the play settings doesn't allow wifi.
when i change the settings to allow phone to use the play as a wifi hotspot, it says to call att provider.
i've tried a few apps and they don't seem to work. any suggestions would help.

Maybe because your provider doesn't allow you to? That seem correct to me. Your plan has to support wifi hotspot.

Thought there might be a way since my phone is rooted.

Hi,
I'm wondering what's the step I should do to turn on my hotspot? I mean to do this on a rooted phone.
Also, is there any app is easy to uninstall those ATT customized apps? I just want a clean S3
Thanks

It turns out I can use ES file explorer to uninstall those I don't want.
But how can I change the setup like to turn on hotspot?
Thanks
Better yet what's the best underground app to not get caught. Another thread explained that att had a lock on all tether apps on google play.

Sorry I'm kind of lost here.
Do you mean I can't change the setup on my rooted S3? All I want is to make my ATT S3 become a hotspot, however I'm using the 3G data plan so I'm not able to turn it on.
Thanks

You can try FoxFi. Can't post the link yet but it was mentioned here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28861305&postcount=19
Otherwise you'll need to root your phone and install a separate app or ROM to enable the tethering.
I don't recall ever seeing one that DIDN'T have the option to turn on WiFi tethering (hotspot) in Settings > Wireless and Networks > More Settings > Tethering and Mobile HotSpot. What sdlopez was saying is that whether you use that option, or you use an app from Google Play that allows you to turn it on, AT&T will more than likely see that you're tethering and force you onto their plan that allows tethering.

Yes, there is a hotspot option but AT&T block it since I only apply 3g data plan.
I check with my wife's S3(no root) and FoxFi is blocked already. Even with my S3(CM10) this app can't work either. I assume it's because of my carrier?
Well, it looks like I have to stick with CM10 cuz it's able to turn on hotspot easily at system setting.
Right now I'm wondering will AT&T know that I'm using customized rom to enable hotspot which is supposed not allowed?
Thanks.
I live in Jamaica (I'm using a T999 here) and my network allows me to tether free. The problem is when I try to turn on tethering and mobile hotspot it just turns itself off without even trying to connect. When I had my BlackBerry, I would just enter the apn settings and I was good from there. Do I need to get a app just to tehter?
You may try WIFI Tether in the play store. It's free.
At the same time, if you flashed JBFrost ROM, you can just toggle the Mobile Data on the pull down.
Good luck. I'm giving away free good luck to everyone for the holiday spirit lolz

Hey all,
Does anyone have a wifi tethering app suggestion? or specific settings to set on a particular app to get wifi tethering working?
I'm rooted using MotoChopper. I tried WiFi Tether for Root Users and I can get the app to start just fine but my the network doesn't appear to be broadcasting as I can't see it on any other devices.
I can't use the built in hotspot feature because it's not enabled on my plan.
I understand it's early in the development stages for the SGS4 but just seeing if anyone has a workaround for the time being.
Thanks,

Some strings need to be edited in the framework to change where the traffic get directed to so T-Mobile doesn't see you are tethering. Then you will be able to use the native app/toggle.

Do you need "wifi" tethering?
If not, PDAnet for me via bluetooth and usb.

does it provide free tethering? or are you on a tethering data plan?
Is it possible to redirect all tethered traffic through a VPN and therefore circumvent t-mobiles tether detection?
E.g. set up an SSH tunnel with port forwarding on the phone and then set your phone as a proxy server on your PC?
Or, if t-mobile only uses user-agent detection, can you simply use a VPN directly from your PC? As all traffic is then encrypted, t-mobile should no longer be able to identify its origin.
im on my unlimited plan, and the free version is limited to a small bandwidth limit. 8 bucks for the full version and no additional fees.
Hi There
First post!
I have a Note 3 on T-mobile.
So I had rooted kitkat using this method: http://www.galaxynote3update.com/root-tmobile-galaxy-note-3-sm-n900t-no-knox-counter-trip/ and had been using Wifi Tether router to have unlimited tethering while i'm at work.
I used this method to get to the new lollipop when it became available for my phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...icial-lollipop-n900tuvufob5-t-mobile-t3046295
and now Wifi Tether Router runs, enables the hotspot, but none of my devices can see the hotspot. I've tried the SQL thing, and someone suggested trying to set the encryption to Open instead of WPA2, but that doesn't work either.
anyone else having this issue or have a fix?

Hey, i managed to get it working by changing the SSID. For some reason keeping the SSID i used before the Lollipop update wouldn't let it be seen.
Pls am having the same problem... How did u resolve yours Mr gohanrocs12.. How did u change ur ssid?
Ssid is the name that identifies your wifi network, like Netgear 77, or Lynksys. It's typically the name your network wifi router comes with when you take it out of the box and set it up.
You access it with a computer based settings program that comes with the router allowing you to change settings on your router. .

Try Google and youtube, you will find a bunch of stuff on it. Use your brand of WiFi router in search to get more specific answers.

Hey everyone, can anyone with the Verizon Z Play test Foxfi to see if hotspot tether work, or if you know of any other way or app. I really want to pick this phone up but I really would like to be able to use hotspot. Thank you.

Correct, but what I'm asking is on Verizon one is required to pay for the hotspot feature and I am looking for a way around that....until root is available.

I dont know of anyway around that without root or an app... and I also dont know any wifi tethering apps that work without root. There might be an app, but i've never had to look.

OK thanks.
Foxfi and PDAnet work on devices that have no root, but I just haven't heard yet if they work on the Moto Z Play, as sometimes certain devices will not work. Example: HTC 10
You can tether via Bluetooth too. Maybe thats a work-around for being charged for wifi tethering?
