Tether without rooting?

Is there a way to tether on a TMobile S3 without rooting the phone?
While the S3 is an awesome phone, not having tethering sucks. I travel alot and hate to pay for internet.
Please help. Would be used for an Vista Windows laptop and the Asus Transformer TF101 android tablet.

S3 has built in wifi hot spot, just pay t-mobile the tethering fee
why don't you want to root? It's pretty simple to do so, and the benefit is great.

Try foxfi some people say it works other say it doesn't.

What's keeping you from rooting?

Last i checked wifi tether with Foxfi was unsupported for our phones. However bluetooth tether worked perfect for me stock unrooted. And I gta ask same question as above, why not just root? You bought a Samsung. Now show it.

Try going to http://foxfi.com/bin and side loading it.
If you go to the play store and look at the Fox fi add on app the site is listed in the description.

As long as you have T-mobile 5GB or more plan and it is not their new unlimited plan that is coming out in a few weeks you have free hotspot.

The Android Preferred Data plan (5gb for $20) doesn't have hotspot included. Just fyI.

I have 5GB for $20 per month and tethering is included so no rooting required - I thought hotpot is included as well but I've never tested it as I don't need it.

ClockworkMod Tether (no root) (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5rb3VzaGlrZHV0dGEudGV0aGVyIl0.) worked for me. Note that this is USB cable tethering and you need to install a driver on the computer so it won't work on the tablet.

yeah, I use ClockworkMod also. Just make sure not use IE, but use Chrome with UA spoofer (android). When I try to use IE, i got redirected to tmo signup website.
Just tried FOXFI as evercleardoc suggested. It's not working. Maybe it's not compatible with Clcoworkmod?

WiFi Tether worked fine for me. I'm rooted; though.

Just got my EVO LTE, spent all day trying to root it for hotspot. Came across fox fi in the market and it works like a charm. The key is to go the play store and read the description. Tested it on netflix through my PS3. Was gone try BF3 but there was an update. So, I'm cool now til a new root method is found.

Can you tether the internet to an iPad?

Does anyone who has the phone confirmed if you can tether the internet to the iPad, and will att detect it?
That is the only thing that stopping me from ordering this phone, because my i4s is jailbroke and I can tether on my iPad without att detecting it, I am on a a 2gb internet plan tho, and I don't want to pay extra to tether. Thank guys in advance.

My first Android phone is the Samsung Infuse 4g, I dumped it after a month for the reason that when I rooted it and tether on my iPad, att detected and sent me a message that I am tethering.
Now I wanted an Android because of the so boring iPhones, owning for so long, and it looks like a free toy on a box of serial now with those large android phones.

Free 2.5 GB tethering

Yes, you read it right!
I stopped by a T-mo store today to look for a case for my wife's phone
and I know very well the sales person.
He told me that T-mo replaced the free 500 MB tether (on Unlimited data plan),
with free 2.5 GB without any additional fees !!!!
He changed that option on the spot for me.
You can do that yourself on T-mo website, or just walk in the store like I did.
Enjoy!:good:

Is this everywhere? I'm currently on 500mb data plan that slows down afterwards. Would I be eligible?

Thanks for the heads up buddy. I just went into my account online and made the changes on 2 of my 4 lines that have truly unlimited data.
This is very nice of tmobile. Now I have 2.5gb of tethering rather than 500mb on my truly unlimited plans at no extra cost.

Sent From My Jedi Note 2.

this has been out for a while now T-Mobile changed this back in like the beginning of the summer I think. Its for anyone on unlimited data they are being nice and giving us 2.5 mb to tether. Use it or not T-Mobile is looking out enjoy everyone...
Edit: fyi there are also non rooted methods of tethering whether or not you have unlimited data.

If u have the hotspot on your account the ps3 will be able to pick up the tether and use the data.. Just not when u don't have the hotspot on ur account and ur doing a hacked tether to use ur unlimited data it won't work.. I'm connected to the ps3 network now.. 2.5 should be enough for multi-player... I hope

I actually found out by logging in to my . tmobile . com and saw it was part of my plan. I was surprised that they are that generous. I never even used up the 500mb they used to give for free so 2.5 GB is really great I can tether all the time now.

Not available if you're on the classic unlimited plan.

Not available to me. They said you've got to associate your social to the account in order to get that hotspot option. I'm on the unlimited but prepaid one. Apparently even though I'm paying the same monthly, unless I give my social security number, I won't be getting any hotspot allotment. =/

I get free unlimited hot spot as my phone is rooted and using a custom rom that has tethering unblocked. So I don't see what the big deal is anyone can install a custom ROM with a rooted phone and get unlimited free tethering.

Stock work fine if you are in a Pre-paid plan, I don't know if works on a regular plan without a fee...

I use the stock tether under my unlimited plan. Would only use it seldom though for my tablet or notebook.
Unlimited plan allows up to 2.5gb tethering a month which for that purpose is more than enough for me.

If your just getting that message on your phone that is just a setting for your own info, if you get an upsell screen on a tethered pc or your tethering stops working, then you will know they know lol. I tethered 100's of gigs in a month before they shut me down and I switched over to Foxfi and masked my usage.

So just to be clear, there's no wifi tether with the stock kernel? I'm trying to avoid tripping the counter for the time being.

Worked great. Thanks OP.
edit:Spoke too soon. Can get tethering started but it won't show up as an available network. What profile are you using? There isn't one for the N3.

Will try this out

Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

well well, dummy me was about to do "de la vega" and just ended up following "qbking77" video to the T and tripped knox. Anyway, since that ship has sailed and there's nothing that could be done about it for now, what exactly does the tether app needs in order to work? I've been using TrevE Mod WiFi Tether for the longest on my GS3 stock rom/rooted. What's the difference with the Note 3?

So does installing this app work perfectly on a t-mobile note 3 on an AT&T network without AT&T catching you tethering without paying?

I've used the HotSpot on Cyanogen for 4.5 years, never got a single comment. Then again, I only used <1GB/mo on it, so I didn't abuse it.

Are there any other options besides foxfi? Looks like the app hasn't been updated for over a year
