It really depends on your carrier but I'm on Verizon with unlimited data and have been doing it for years without getting charged.

smh ics roms doesn't have that. I don't think it is found in any custom roms lol
NONE. Tmobile is fully aware of the work arounds that people were doing in the past. They now monitor the data on their side and you will have to pay for it.
Tethering is FREE with a 5gig or larger plan now.

T-mobile galaxy s iii foxfi hotspot doesnt work

Hi
I just bought a galaxy s iii at t-mobile amd downloaded the foxfi hotspot app. For some reason my devices see the wifi but cant connect. What could be the reason for this? I am in the new unlimited 4G plan with not t-mobile hot spot I would like to use foxfi. Can some I ne help me?

Try looking for the foxfi addon. I heard that it sometimes helps. Also read the instructions when your setting it up.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
a lot of those wifi apps claims they work without root, but it is only for certain phones
root your galaxy s3, it is the only way
Ok do you know where I can find a link on how to root the phone? I dont want to brick it since I just got it.

If your on the unlimited plan you cant share the network. They block it that's part of the contract no tethering or hotspot.

Worked fine on my phone before I rooted.
Any updates on this issue? Does rotting help make Foxfi work on our S3?
If you are rooted why don't you just use the wifi tether app for root from the play store. I just set my device as a galaxy s2 in the device settings in the app and it works. I am on the unlimited plan.

What settings are you referring to? Foxfi doesn't have any settings options that I've seen.
Yeah there really aren't any settings for this app.
When I try it on mine seems to start ok on the phone but computer can not connection to it.
I have even tried on my old sensation and it dont work with viper rom. Or a stock one s.
I've had the same problem with FoxFi. Install SVTP and set the profile to Samsung ICS. Still $15, but only once and its the only hotspot app I've found that can get around Tmobile's blocks on my stock nonrooted T999.

Gingerbread does not work on this phone. Did you not see the two posts above you? The version of your OS doesn't matter. It matters what plan you have.

Well seeing as how you aren't allowed to tether with this plan, obviously it will be blocked regardless.

How to tether on Verizon on jb leak

When I first got phone, I was pissed cause I lost unlimited data but, I figured, at least I could tether now! I installed foxfi and was tethering in minutes....it was awesome
Now I'm on jb leak and rooted, and NONE of the apps work...
So I searched and found a solution!
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...-i-need-developers-edition-wifi-tether-4.html
Now I'm tethered and typing from a pool house in my development where I'm studying!
So psyched.....I'm really gonna put my 2gb limit to the test now! LOL

what are actual data speeds you're seeing? this is one thing that makes me nervous about upgrading. I have unlimited data, on my bionic I can get 24 Mbps down on my pc tethered when I use the built in tethering app, but have never seen comparable data speeds through a third party tethering app.

I have no plan to sign a new contract. I will gladly buy one off eBay for 300 and keep my unlimited data, thank you very much.
I'm also using the stock tethering app, I just did the sqleditor method and it works!
PS I'm on the grandfathered unlimited data plan.

How do you check your Hotspot data usage?

I just want to make sure that the exploit I'm using its not using any of free 500mb data cap you get when tethering... Is there any code I can punch or anywhere in the website where I can see my hotspot tethering usage? thanks in advance.

Couldnt find it in plans, so decided to chat with tmobile rep. this is the outcome.
She told me that i never added the free 500 mbs of free tethering to my account and that she would be able to do that for me at that moment.
So i asked her, do you see any data used for tethering on my account and she said no, so that means that the wifi hotspot work around was doing fine.
Then i asked should i be able to tether if i dont add this service, and she said no. which is wierd because i was tethering when i was speaking to her.
So guys should i add the free 500 mbs of tethering or just leave it as it is?
that is really weird.. since I can see it in plans... I'd say don't change it as its working right now and if it ever stops working which I doubt you could always change it
