I thought I figured out how to Tether using Bluetooth. I was interested in using this method -- primarily for my iPad 2 -- instead of rooting (which I already am) and using WiFi Tether - TrevE Mod which seems to work well.
I was able to connect my iPad 2 via Bluetooth and share my WiFi connection on my GN2. However, it doesn't seem to work when WiFi is off and I try to use 3G. I get this Error #67: Registration failure. Your data service username and/or password may be incorrect. Please try again (see attached). If I turn WiFi back on, it won't connect to the router -- until I turn off Bluetooth. The I can connect via 3G or WiFi again.
I'm wondering if this is happening because I don't have the WiFi Tethering package with Sprint?
yes the Sprint tethering package enables both forms of wireless tethering. use open garden for Bluetooth or just use the wifi in the ****pad

That Open Garden app is pretty cool. Unfortunately there isn't an iOS version for my iPad... Oh well, I can use it on my laptops.

Under the trevemod setup for our s4 , there are many replies by many xda members who are having trouble with the new hotspot shield vpn connection..
For me unlike the new version the old version it would initially connect on any device I had.
This device "s4 and the NEW updated hotspot vpn shield won't connect some say...
It just says connecting turns yellow then stops icon turns red back and forth.
EDIT: FIX
Restart device after you have vpn shield installed and tether set up.
THE Vpn shield will connect green

You could try infamous rom. Has native tethering to an extent. Have to set it up in settings and then turn it on through a widget from play store.

It has never worked for me. I still get the my tmobile page everytime I use tethering.
The method worked for me, Just install Hspot vpn shield ..and reboot it does take 5-10seconds longer than the older version app used to take to connect green, but it will.

(you will not get a internet connection using any other tether app while using the VPN app)
2. Get Hotspot Shield VPN

(was mentioned in earlier post but couldn't get it to work)
3. Start Hotspot Shield VPN and connect
4. Start TrevE Mod Tether app
Problems?
Hotspot Shield does not connect or you get error 1028?
Get Tun.Ko from market and install it
Repeat step 3 and 4

In TrevE Mod tether app go to settings and select Device profile and select Generic ICS/JB wanl0 . Now select setup and select Netd-Ndc master . Check box that says send Nets Max client . Check box WiFi-Reloads driver 2 . Check Routing fix .You may need to change ssid too .

I've been using Cyber Ghost as my free VPN and it's very decent. I've been considering paying for Private Internet Access, at $40 for a year with good reviews.
PIA is pretty awesome. very fast, both ping and down/up speeds. the vpn only adds approximately 30ms.
for free vpn on the phone, hideninja vpn works very well. pro version has more locations (like uk for bbc iPlayer). and it's supposedly lifetime vpn.
using jellybeer on an i317 with a $70 unlimited tmobile prepaid sim.
---------- Post added at 01:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 PM ----------
this is with PIA. the up was a little slow on this test. it's usually 10-20mbps. ping and down speed are normal. some servers are better at certain times. very easy to switch with viscosity for mac. i start the normal tether (settings>more>tethering&portablehotspot>portablehotspot) with no vpn on my phone (with a cm10.1 based rom), and then start the vpn on the computer. i didn't even know about the upsell message until i flashed a touchwiz rom.
So, picked up a kindle fire hd 7, and figured i'd give this a shot finally.
Running rooted stock, setup and execution was a breeze following the op tutorial.
I tried to get tethering added to my plan, but they said i'd lose my current awesome unlimited plan to get tethering added...so xda to the rescue.
Thanks!
Sprung for PIA. Here's a representative speed test with and wzithohut.d

Why do you get errors in YouTube using user-agent switching? I use user-agent spoofing with Chrome and can use YouTube, NetFlix and HuluPlus with no problems and no speed issues that often arise when using a VPN service. I can even play online action games while connected to LTE with 30-40ms pings. All this without any VPN use.

I used chrome with user agent switcher and every time I went to youtube I would get "can not play video at this time" also problems with any https website . That why I made this tutorial . Plus Tmobile can see you tether when you use a user agent other than an Android user agent . They also send the annoying text when they see you thether . Vpn prevents all that plus I don't appreciate TMO eyeing my internet traffic . If any one has problems with speeds using a vpn I would suggest setting up and ssh server . If you or any xda member would like me to make a tutorial an tethering via ssh server I can do that for you .

Strange, none of those issues ever occur using my methods described in my thread. I don't get texts from tmo so I don't think they monitor activity in the manor you mentioned or I would have been notified long before I hit the 200 gig mark. I've used somewhere around 250 over the last few months. No notifications, no throttling, no problem. I am interested in the ssh server, however. That tutorial would be great. Thanks for your input as it helps us both further our understanding of tmo's network.

Works great. Only issue I seem to have is with xbox live. I can connect and my nat setting show as moderate. This was normal when using the stock tethering app. However in Blops2 I am unable to connet to a game, it will put me into a searching lobby, it will just keep trying to find a game.. anyone else seen this?
Worst case I can just use the native app for xbox and this for computer tethering.

Right I know but the moderate settings. I didn't have a problem before this message, but it looks like they may have had an issue with the servers last night because I got a message. I'll try again in a little bit.

Hey guys, i got a question about the Wifi tethering on the Xperia S.
is it possible to show the connected devices via an app or with the system himself, when i have Wifi tethering on? i don't want to look everytime in the dnsmasq.leases file or what it calls.
Just password protect it with wpa2 and you should be more then secure

Good question.
WiFi is seen as off when WiFi tethering is enabled, so applications like Fing and WiFi Analyzer just see the WiFi interface as down.
You have to have 'conventional' WiFi disabled and WiFi thethering enabled, so this would only be a short term config under a controlled environment in most cases.
It's true WPA2 and a password does provide good basic security, but....
I have an old XPERIA X10i with a 64GB mircroSD card which could make a short to long term mobile NAS and in such an environment where many people are using your hotspot "NAS" for documents, music and/or videos access/streaming, knowing if someone is using it before disabling the service may be helpful.
So, I too, would be interested if there is an app that sees the tethered interface and the network connections using it.
I have done little reaserch and came up with this.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.overlook.android.fing&hl=en
try it

Interesting. How did you enable and view the tethered interface when Fing only monitors wlan0?
I didnt, i only search on google. Some guys were report they use this app for that action
I actually saw it on the Galaxy S3 which has tethering enabled and shows the connected devices. so i think it can be done if we port the tethering app from the galaxy s3 to the XS. after that it should work.. maybe.. =D
btw. i tested the app and it didn't work.. :/
Just curious, can you instal that app on second phone and conect to host, can you then look which devices are conected to it?
