Has anyone figured out enabling tethering yet?

I am coming from the HTC One X and it was an easy fix to change an entry using SQLEditor. Anyone know how to get it working on the Note 2?

Try Foxfi in the marketplace.

I tried Foxfi and couldn't get the wifi hotspot to turn on. I don't have a bluetooth device to try the other way.

This worked for me. I'd prefer the stock hotspot, but this will do for now. Thanks!

Foxfi seems to do the job before we are able to use stock hotspot. Great find. Thanks

I'm confused. Isn't hot spot in the settings? I'm able to hot spot stock.

You must be paying for it

Or he could be using a canadian version of the phone

Yes Canadian. It's included.

It's included in my plan as well and I'm on AT&T. Not sure if it's a Premier thing though, but my data plan came with hotspot as part of it, and it's not the data sharing plan.

When I tried to enable it, it told me to call 611 to activate it.

+1 for foxfi on ATT.

AT&T will force you to give up unlimited data plans to enable this from them and it's another $15 USD / month. I believe the context of the OP is without carrier plan.
If you have no unlimited data and can stomach the $15/mo, more power to you.

Foxfi doesn't work for me but I found a way to get native tethering work on this phone but your phone has to be rooted to do that:
1. First you need to delete TetherProvision.apk system app. Either by root explorer or TB. Removing this might cause a FC when you try to turn Mobile Hotspot on in Settings (happened to me) but keep on reading.
2. Go to Google Play store and install Power Toggle and add the Wifi tether widget to your Homescreen.
3. Boom ^_^.

Excellent! Thank you for finding this.

Or flash 15 toggles from the Development thread. Mobile Hotpot built in + flash light and others

[Q] s2 tmobile new JB 4.1.2 wifi tether

Hello,
I have rooted my phone and wanted to know if anyone has been able to activate free tethering on the t989? I installed the treve mod wifi tether app but nothing seems to work...

you might want to use one of the modified ROMs such as Jedi Mind Trick JB 1.1 or Infamous's . I dont think free tethering in stock ROM will work.

I tried the generic steps for tethering but I do not have the MSS Clamping option on the one that I downloaded on that page?

The stock roms generally want permission from the carrier to enable tethering. The custom ROMS generally have it enabled by default. One of the tricksy things T-Mobile is doing now though is checking the User-Agent of the browser requesting a page and, if it's not a mobile browser (i.e. you're wi-fi tethering a laptop and using a desktop browser), it redirect you to the "Buy Tethering" page. There are extension for Chrome and Firefox to change your User-Agent.
Non-web traffic seems to be completely unaffected by the new tethering test.

ViperOne 4.3 Hotspot problems [SOLVED]

I have upgraded to this Rom and have not found any way to get hotspot working. Is there a different kernal I need to flash or something. I have unlimited and native connects, but no data. Tether with TrevE mod keeps starting with errors and won't create a log file to see the error. Does not broadcast SSID. Really didn't expect to have these problems on a rooted Rom. Any suggestions??

Thanks to Carm01, I was able to compare my default.xml file with the one he posted and found something to try. I believe it was a Tether_Guard setting that was 0 (zero) in the ViperOne Rom and it was a 2 in the version posted by Carm01. I simply used Root Browser to edit the value on my phone and no other changes. Rebooted phone after saving file and BINGO! Working great with the native Hotspot & Hotspot Toggle widget.
Hopefully this can help someone else running ViperOne 4.3 and wants tethering to work.

Native tethering works fine for me on vipers 4.3 from the get go.

Good to hear. Although I installed viper 4.3 on my wife's phone and mine. Both had the same problems tethering (connect but not data). No idea what could have caused the difference, but at least it works for us now.

Unrestricted tether in roms Just doesn't kick in

I'd be glad to find out the trick or just how to utilize the unrestricted tether mod in a few noted roms like wicked v5 and darthstalker rom.
So this native unrestricted tether is built into these roms... As a tmobile tethering APN
but... When you switch to it ...it reverts right back to the fast.tmobile.com Lte apn.
What's the method to activate this and make it work or stick
Hot spot activates and connects to all devices but as far as letting the data flow thru it doesn't ..

Question: Do you have unlimited data plan?

Any other suggestions for tether limit?

So far I have tried wifi tether router, zip fix to remove provisions, changing apn settings, adding dun to the stock apn, tried wifi tether from the thread here at XDA. And not a damn thing has worked. This is getting ridiculous what other options are there to get around the annoying up sell page?

Xposed framework and x tether works great for me

Pdanet works great for me . Only through usb . Bluetooth gets detected . Just check the option to hide tether usage in task bar icon

What apn is selected?

The normal t-mobile apn is the only one that works if I select the tethering one it automatically switches back to the LTE apn when my data reconnects

Thanks I'll try emailing him. and @sevenslugs whats the name of the APN to try I only have LTE, tether (which doesn't stick) and IMS which I have no idea what that is.

If you are using tweaked you should have a "NoLTE" apn for tethering

Just tried. Unless I am doing something wrong it's not working. I installed the module and everything and since it says there's no UI for it all you do is install and use native tethering or what?

Yeah that's exactly what I did and when I tether it has never reported more than a few mbs and that's steaming Netflix

I'll try next month when my bill renews i might be having the issue since I'm already at the limit

I'm on Effortless rom and have unlimited tether. Just flash the rom and the SD and tether fix zip. Then, follow the instructions. Go to APN and reset to default and restart your phone. After that, turn on your hotspot and go back to APN and click on the T-mobile Tether APN. Give it a few seconds and it'll automatically switch back to the T-mobile US LTE APN and you should have unlimited tether. You'll have to click on the Tether APN every time you want to tether. This method works for me.

THAT is exactly what the problem is and I cant understand why nobody on this website (and on these similar threads) have no clue about this, all suggesting 50 solutions, none of which work cause tmo already turned OFF their hotspot after 5g.
NONE of these suggestions are actual "hotspots", they just reroute, or mask the tethered data so it's not reported. These "fixes" do not fix the fact tmo turned off their hotspot after 5g tether.
Once ur new billing cycle starts, ALL these suggestions will work, but until then, NONE of them will work.
Fortunately for myself, I have an unlocked att N3, and I use the att hotspot (which of course does NOT talk to tmo), so I can tether to my hearts content without jumping thru all these stupid and frustrating hoops that the OP is going thru right now -
So OP, u can keep trying all this crap every month, or simply flash the ATT rom on ur N3, and then turn on the blue att hotspot, (instead of using the metered pink tmo hotspot). Then u will be truly unlimited with no tethering limits -

Why would you say something so stupid?
That is EXACTLY how it works, and my billing cycle just ended last week on the 4th, and I used 289.4GB
So how do you explain me getting past tmo's 5g tether limit, month after month, after month !!!
