I have a Samsung Galaxy 3 on the AT&T network none rooted. Since the 4.3 update I cannot get any tethering applications to work (tried Foxfi and SVTP paid which I had been using for almost a year prior to).
As of 4.3 I keep getting the pop up "To enable mobile hotspot on this device, go to att.com/mywireless or dial 611" message any time I try to enable a mobile hotspot application.
So my question is, has anyone found a good workaround without rooting? If root will be mandatory can someone suggest an idiots guide to rooting? Because I have zero experience with rooting an android device.
Thanks in advance.
You're not alone. I'm having the same issue. I can't root because my company pays for the phone and they use Mobile Iron to push email, calendar, etc.. Hoping someone comes up with a nice work around that PDANet / FoxFi can leverage to get the wifi hotspot working again. In the mean time, using the Bluetooth tethering option on PDANet seems to still be working..

You assume all responsibility of anything that may or may not happen by using the information in this post. Use the information carefully.
I contacted enewman17 and inquired about the link below \/ \/ \/ he advised me that it should be flashable via custom recovery (TWRP or CWM) to any AT&T I747 on 4.3 regardless of rom or kernel and possibly without root. He also said he thinks it may work on the I747M also.
If any I747M users flash it and are successful or unsuccessful please let me know so I can post whether this is effective for that as well.
I don't know if you can use this or not, I am rooted and have a custom stockish rom and kernel. I couldn't get anything else to work then I found tether hack with bluetooth from enewman17 flashed it via custom recovery and my native tethering now works without questioning whether I pay my carrier for tethering services or not.
You should research where this can be used and how to use it before doing anything I found it in one of the threads I was getting a rom from and took a chance by flashing it over my current rom. It worked but I'm not on stock anything.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll give it a try. I was trying to avoid rooting simply due to my ignorance about the process so I appreciate any and all suggestions.

I tried the Bluetooth hack with PDA and while it worked it was painfully slow (almost dial-up slow to be honest), how is it working for you? Maybe I needed to fiddle with the settings differently?
I tether to a TF700 (soon to be a Note 2014 edition if Santa is listening).

my devices cannot detect my wifi tether on rooted e4gt. Just installed calkulins rom v1.5a. the wifi tether app says its on but nothing. i tried messing with settings but got no results.
is anyone else experiencing this?
Let me tell you about my Wifi Tether experience with my E4GT.
I did the basic ROOT+CWM5 so I could run Wifi-Tether and Adfree.
I downloaded Wifi-Tether 2.0.7 Stable and it said it was on but my PC/Windows 7 box couldn't see it. My MacBook couldn't see it etc.
I snagged the 3.0.xxx Beta Wifi-Tether, whatever the newest Beta is and it worked.

The newest beta of wifi tether works for me. Only problem I have with it is it still broadcasts an SSID after I shut it off. No data connection, just the SSID. I need to reboot to get it to stop. Aside from that little quirk, it works just fine.

I had tough times getting the wifi tether to work. I went with a rom that hacks the hotspot. Much better imo. Now my OG Epic and my Epic Touch can run hot spots just fine.

These are the current settings of my phone. Flashed Blend today and it's been great for the most part so far. There's no native wifi tether app, so I installed Wifi Tether.apk (I believe this is the most common, some ROMs even have this inbuilt.
I got it from http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ and used QBKING's video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQpIxUxnCqU to install it. However, my wireless network SSID won't show up on the laptop. Any help would be appreciated. THANKS!!!
Because it's ICS modem, you need to change the device profile to 'Nexus CDMA'.
The Sprint hotspot app should work for WiFi tethering.

If you have a Sprint Hotspot on EL29, then you can use it. If you don't have a 'hotspot' plan with sprint, using this Sprint hotspot (modified on EL29) should not charge you any money.
I am hoping that open garden makes a version for ICS. On gingerbread the hacked hotspot usually take a few minutes to kick in. Open gardens app gives internet access immediately. Great app, worth donating for.

If you are using a ROM that has included the Sprint Hotspot hack (which I believe blend does) then no, Sprint should not charge you.. I would just recommend to not go crazy on usage though.

You need to go the place where you downloaded the rom and read carefully if the rom is including the Sprint hopspot hack. If it's including the Sprint hotspot, you will see the similar information like below -
(Crawrj's & Maddoggin's Hotspot hacks to unlock Sprint Hotspot & USB tethering)
The difference between Stock Sprint Hotspot and hacked Hopspot is, Stock Hotspot will not work for you if you don't have hotspot plan or it will ask to to activate the Hotspot. But for the hacked Sprint Hotspot, it just works and shows the 'activated' notification without asking anything.
There are lots of thread related to the same topic. If you spend just about 5 minutes, you will figure everything out by yourself.

My biggest hold back on installing CM10 or AOKP was the lack of Cell Broadcasts built in. But low an behold I was able to restore it from a Titanium Backup. I figured I'd go ahead and share it here for all. And maybe for myself if I ever lose it!
This for sure installed on AOKP. At least it installed, I'll have to wait until Wednesday when they do the test to confirm it works.
To install (this is old, the link at bottom has a flashable zip.):
1. Copy the "CellBroadcastReceiver.apk" into "/system/app"
2. Change the permissions to "rw- r-- r--"
3. Restart
It wont be a normal app, but it should appear under Settings --> More... --> Cell broadcasts

It may not be for everyone. But for me, in Arkansas, I find it useful for Tornado warnings. The AMBER alerts are good too. Apps use data and GPS, thus killing your battery. This is a more stable system than some app. Most of the time my phone's WiFi is connected to some shoddy open Linksys router and in and out of proper data service anyway.
Cell Broadcast is like receiving a free text. Good for those on limited data plans, or those that need to be safe!

I think this was standard on the STOCK build, I can not remember since I rooted and flashed CM10 nearly the same day I got the phone. The point of this as the OP states is that once you flash CM10 you lose this functionality. He provided a way to recover that functionality.
Why does this get stripped out when they build the ROMs? I can't imagine anyone actually thinking it'd be a good idea to remove this, is it an oversight?
Cell broadcasts are true broadcasts, so there are no network overload issues when sending them out.
And they work as soon as there is coverage. If you are roaming somewhere without data, the broadcasts will still work.
Doesn't Google Now have something like this built in?
"Public Alerts" card? ... I do remember when a hurricane was coming to NYC, I never received any alerts. Although I was told by some people, it was in text messages.
Thanks to the OP for the app, obviously some people wanted it.
I find this funny though because my parents and I spent xmas weekend trying to figure out how to turn this crap off on their iphones, never did find a way, fortunately my n4 (stock at the time) did not have this annoyance.
This should be a flashable zip, with an addon.d script to keep it alive between ROM updates. I suppose I'll make a zip for myself.

While this is true now....it will not be true forever.
People are trying to crack it and are getting the app to run smoothly and almost have it authenticating with a t mobile account. So progress is being made.
For the people who don't know the problem with just restoring the backed up app is that the app is just the interface for WiFi calling. The actual ability to do WiFi calling is baked into the framework of the stock ROM with various prices hurried all over the place.

I saw the thread in the development section claiming what services and libs and such were needed. I do recall reading another thread back when i had my S2 that said the bootloader or kernel? is part of it as well. Which is why those lib files needed to be edited.

Oh that's right...the libs weren't just hidden they needed to be modded as well. The ICS WiFi calling only took about a month to hack and port. T mobile got more creative on the jellybean version. Though I don't know why. They still can control authentication of a device and user account on their end. Its not like you can just steal t mobile service by installing WiFi calling.

true. But I give T-Mobile credit. I mean why port something that is exclusive to their phones and devices? It's not like it's taking control of your device like a locked bootloader or something like that. I say if you want WiFi calling then use a stock based ROM. There are hundreds out there plus with all the modding going on I'm sure there 90 percent pa aosp features can be added
