is there an app that can do this. have unlimited data so need root tether that works
Related
I have the Droid Incredible and I have the the tether feature for use with VZ Access Manager. I want to use the 3G Mobile Hotspot instead of tethering with the data cable. Any suggestions?
Are you rooted? If you are it is easy, either flash a ROM that has 3G Hotspot built in, or install the wifi tether app (needs root as well). I prefer 3G Hotspot (seems to work more consistantly), but it's not available in every ROM.
Make sure you know the risks and read enough to know what you are doing if you do decide to root.
so i understand that this change only applies to hotspot tethering devices and not the smartphone data usage but what if you are using hotspot hack and running sprint hotspot app to tether?

If the hotspot app works like wifi tether in which it tries to mask your tether data as coming from your phone it will seem like to me that it won't be counted against you. But if the hotspot hack just allows you to use the app without paying for it then you may have the limits.

Naw, the way the stock wifi tether works is that it disconnects and connects to a different realm whenever you turn on the hotspot (so you have two different data meters). If you don't pay for the hotspot, you can't connect to the modem realm. However, the wifi tether just stays connected to the phone realm.
That said, they can tell if you are tethering, and if you data hog and tether you'll probably getting a polite letter from them telling you to pay or get cancelled and pay ETF
this have any effect on being rooted and using wifi tether app?
I know it has the WiFi hotspot data tether
But does it support data tether via USB ?
Yes, but you will need a Verizon tethering data plan. Works for Wifi and USB. Or install PDAnet......
Mine would be the GSM HSDPA+ version
and I'm on "Three" in the UK who have unlimited data inc tethering.
On the GSM phones you don't need a tethering data plan, USB tethering works just fine.

You know, I've got to learn to start looking a peoples carriers before I answer or comment. I'm not used to having a phone/being on a forum with anyone else than CDMA/Verizon. Coming from Thunderbolt and before that Droid Incredible.

Yep there are 3 options built in: USB tethering, WiFi Hotspot, and Bluetooth tethering.
time to go phone hunting
Is there any way to get tethering enabled on this phone without paying AT&T for tethering plan.
if devs can make a flash-able zip to enable tether that would be great.
anything out there for this?
I guess the only way is to have a shared data plan or pay to tether the phone.
As soon as u start tethering, AT&T will know and will add the tethering package/plan to your bill.
in case anyone with unlimited data and a new s4 mini needs wifi hotspot then use foxfi paid app it works great and you dont have to root,doesnt trip knox
