So I'm using a t999 here in Jamaica, and whenever I wanna using mobile hotspot app it turns on then turns off. I can never get it to stay on. I had foxfi on my previous rom (4.1.1), but I haven't put it back on the phone since the recent update. This time around, I tried out a hotspot widget (instead of installing foxfi) and this time the mobile hostspot app turned on and stayed on. When I was using foxfi, it also turned on the stock app.
Is there someway I could edit the apk so I can get it work without any addition app?
Can I use the tetheringprovision.apk from the intl s3? If so, where can I get it?

So I upgraded to ICS 4.0 for T-Mobile few days ago. Now I lost the wifi Tethering icons. Tried to recover them from my backup using Titanium Backup, but they are not coming back up.
I went into settings, more, Tethering and mobile hotspot and turned it on...but now it auto redirects me to Tmobile sign up page for Tethering when I try to browse the web.
Any work around this besides re-flashing it with a custom ROM? I already rooted the phone.
Use Titanium Backup to freeze or uninstall the tethering provision .apk (I uninstalled it myself).
Works like a charm. If it still gives you issues, make sure the device that is tethered is not browsing using Chrome.
yeah what he said ^^^
i would suggest backing it up before you uninstall in case you have any problems though.
Happy tethering
When I froze it or uninstall it and go into settings, More, tethering and mobile hotspot, the word "error" appears under the mobile hotspot option. I can't even turn on the mobile hotspot feature without having the tethering provision being turned on. Any other ideas?
Don't use the function on the phone. Freeze tethering provision and then download an app that let's you tether.

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 recently upgraded to Jellybean and rooted my phone via root66 method. Now when I turn on my native hotspot app, it switches itself off instantly. It doesn't give any error message or anything. Before the upgrade I was able to use the native hotspot app just fine. I am oversea right now so I am not using T-Mobile's network. Is there something in the Jellybean image that is causing this?
I have a T-Mobile Note 3, still using the stock rom but I have rooted it. My question is there any way to wifi tether that does not "verify" tethering status with T-Mobile?
When starting up the built in hot-spot or FoxFi a popup comes up and tethering is verified with T-Mobile.
I know, I know, T-Mobile comes with X amount of free tethering. I have 2.5 gigs of free tethering and I never go over it. However, I'm going to Mexico for two weeks and T-Mobile has unlimited free international data but no tethering. I assume the "verify" step is going to stop me from tethering.
What rooted app will allow wifi tethering for the Note 3 that does no verification with T-Mobile? I've already tried 10 wifi tether apps from the market place and none of them work on the Note 3.
Bumping as I have a similar question. With Jellybean I just froze the provisioning apk and this worked. In Kitkat doing this causes force closes.
I have a Tasker task that turns on the hotspot when my radio connects to my phone via Bluetooth. This works fine if the screen is on, but the point is to have this happen automatically. If I have to take my phone out of my pocket and make sure the screen stays on, I might as well just turn on tethering manually. The task does run as I have verified that the other parts of the task run while the screen is off.
I'm pretty sure that all the info to address this is in a thread that I just bumped a minute or 5 ago.
I figured it out. At least for my situation. I have tethering and I wasn't trying to bypass any limits. I just wanted to enable tethering without the screen being on. I modified the framework-res APK to not call the provisioning APK and froze the Tethering*.apk files.
I tried to attach the file but it is not working. I will try again later.
framework-res.apk
I also added Bluetooth tethering option.
Can you give us the link daneurysm ? Thanks!

So I've looked around to see if there was someone else with my issue but no luck. There were somewhat similar posts about the mobile hotspot not working on my LG G3 which usually included the network not showing on other devices when the hotspot was enabled but my issue is a little bit more different. I posted on another thread where a root was provided for 5.0.1 but the tether had worked for a little bit after rooting then stopped working completely including the stock method. Here was my original reply to the thread which didnt really get a good answer. I used Foxfi tethering app for a while then tried using WiFi Tether Router.
Hi after i rooted on 5.0.1 everything seemed to be working fine and I went over to download a tethering app to use my phones hotspot feature but I came across a big problem,the hotspot refuses to turn on. Sometimes the hotspot will turn on for a couple seconds then just shut off and other times the notification icon pops up in the notification bar for less than a second several times before simply shutting off. If I can simplify a bit more, not even the "normal" method for turning on my hotspot will work. I used foxfi which shuts off after what seems like it struggles to turn on in the notification bar and then i use Wifi Tether router which will turn on but the network itself doesnt show anywhere on any other device and if i check the settings app its not actually turned on. Any help? I know the native method should work because i still have some leftover hotspot data on my plan to use up.
