Is it possible to have turned on both wifi and wifi hotspot at the same time?any tweaks,Xposed modules?
Also is it posssible to remove a client from wifi hotspot(ie manage user)
Probably not since they use the the same antenna,otherwise the option should have been there already .
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
As to managing users, the closest I can think of is changing the name and/or password of the hotspot and re-configuring the devices you want to keep attached.

Hi Guys, i'm planning on getting a Note 2 on Verizon as soon as it comes out. I have been using the Droid Bionic and love the wifi tether app that allows me to share data with other devices without having to pay the extra $30 that Verizon asks for. I was wondering if i can do the same on the Note 2? i tried looking around for an answer but couldn't find one anywhere.

yes. just install one of many tethering apps and you'll be able to. wifi will need root permissions most likely. but usb tethering will probably be fine.
depending how VZW does makes the built in app, you could use it. if they don't track it. which some companies do..
U already have an integrated tether app found in your settings. Just customize as u like, turn it on, and there u go

Not sure how Verizon is going to setup their hotspot on the Note 2, but to get around it, why not use this?
FoxFi - Google Play
No rooting required.

Hello... i have a question regarding wifi hotspot/tethering with samsung note2 gt-n7100..i try to set up my phone as a wifi hotspot..the other device can detect the wifi and connect but the problem is the device can't use it for internet browsing..it just connected to my device but when try to browse to google it stuck. could anyone clarify the exact method to do this trick? or can u suggest any third party app that are fully working with note2 for this purpose? i tried with wifi tether for root user but no luck.. my device is rooted with cfroot and running latest alj3 stock rom...tq
Same here with Note I
It is connected,but no Internet access,even tough the internet is working inside of Note.
This happens mostly,but sometimes it works. There is no firewall,no different settings on receiving side.
Actually,right now it is working... but how long?
same problem. please help
Check your Note's APN settings for any proxies. A proxy can cause that.

Here workin fine and replying this with using tether
This issue probably requires Developer actions to be solved … anyway I’m posting on General section cause it’s not a properly developer thread …
Since Android 4.1.2 there’s a problem in tethering for all people that has a carrier plan that doesn’t include Tethering. I’m on Vodafone Italy with “mobile internet” plan (2GB/month). I have never had problem with tethering my data connection from my phone to a laptop or tablet but starting from Android 4.1.2 upgrade I noticed that when I activate built in wifi hotspot the APN is automatically and secretly changed from the default one (mobile.vodafone.it) to a new one (web.omnitel.it) that charges my bill with additional costs … It happened to me in the past using branded phone with branded firmware, but after rooting and switching to CyanogeMod firmware the problem was solved … now I’m on an unlocked Galaxy Nexus with CM or others custom ROM …
On 4.1.2 I bypassed this problem using dedicated app “Wifi Tether for Root”, but now on 4.2.1 also this app doesn’t work anymore (ok this is another issue, here you can find more details).
Well … rather bad … I did a lot of research on the web, and here is the most interesting thing I found:
A person working for Roger carrier stated this (see original thread and full post here ):
Android 4.1.2 introduced that ability (and requirement) for Android devices to properly flag when data is for tethering purposes. This is the first time this has been used in a vanilla release of Android.
...
For everyone frustrated by this update to Android: Android respecting a carrier's request to know if data is for a tethered device IS NOT A BUG. IT IS A FEATURE. It's not a feature for users like you and me, it's a feature for manufacturers like Samsung and HTC, so they can in turn build devices that carriers can have more control over.
So, to be clear, THIS IS NOT A BUG. Google INTENDED to respect carrier tethering rules.

So, can someone confirm this behavior? Is there some Developer that can intercept the section of Android OS code that apply this flag to the data download and find the way to avoid this annoying issue??
I want to tether again without pay additional money! I’m paying for 2GB/month! What do you care, Vodafone, how I use it??
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: SOLVED!
After some time someone found a solution, at least for all users with ROOT:
Here is the solution script
Here is a method to setup the script on boot
.
I don't know, AT&T doesn't do this for me.
Can you manually change the APN when the hotspot is turned on?
Hm, never had this happen when I tether my N7 to my GNex, and i'm on a prepaid-card (where something like this would be more likely to occur than on a contract).

I can't edit the APN cause I can't see it! After few minutes I'm tethering I get an SMS from Vodafone that says: we remember you that your plan doesn't include data connection using APN web.omnitel.it ... And then if I check my bill detail I can verify a row reporting connection with this APN and additional amount and connection time

Same story for me.
Install Chrome or Firefox on your PC, download the User Agent Switcher add-on for it. and change your user agent to googlebot or ipad. That's what I do to bypass Tmobile.

Have you tried also the built in tether?
About "Wifi Tether for Root" on Android 4.2 according to some post on the discussion I lnked in the OP:
The application will attempt to mount the file system /system write (rw) to copy the binary file but with Android 4.2 does not work anymore the command "mount -o remount, rw / system"

Does the built in tether report to Verizon? I'm not trying to get hit with any more fees than they already charge.
Re: [ISSUE] “Free” Wifi Tether forbidden since Android 4.1.2
I thought the FCC already ruled that Verizon cannot charge extra for tethering (unless you go over your data limit of course).

Can you tell me how you are doing this please? Is root required on your Gnex? The fact that you are on 4.2.1 may answer that question. My non-rooted gnex is only on 4.1.1 and doesn't seem to have an update available.

I don't pay for tethering on my T-mobile US plan but tethering never stopped working since 4.0 versions all the way now to 4.2.1 takju.
I have a pre-pay plan, so the carrier is not able to charge me anything extra, all they could do is shut off my data plan or tethering, which they never did.
Edit: I'm not rooted in version 4.2.1. I was rooted in some of the previous versions, but can't remember which ones.

Ciao Furius!
I think I'm in the same situation as you with Vodafone Italy :silly:
I'm running CyanogenMod 10.1 (so Android 4.1.2) with a Samsung Galaxy S2 and can't get the wi-fi thetering work: all seems ok, other devices can see and connect to the hot-spot, but can't get any data from it...
I thought it was some problems with the nightly builds of CM, but other people are reporting that wi-fi tethering is correctly working.
Now I read your message while searching some information about the Galaxy Nexus (my Galaxy S2 developed a faulty loudspeaker, and I'm considering to get it repaired under warranty then sell it and buy a Galaxy Nexus, I've found it at 269€) and maybe we have the same problem, but I've got Vodafone to lock the web.omnitel.it APN, to prevent costly surprises...
I think problems arise with operators that make distinctions between different kinds of APN (like Vodafone Italy with web.omnitel.it and mobile.vodafone.it) and not with the ones that don't care about the APN you use (to my knowledge, TIM Italy doesn't care about the APN you use)
I'll keep an eye on this topic and let you know if I find some news!

With Vodafone Italy, even if you force the "mobile.vodafone.it" APN, the one for the mobile phone navigation, you will be charged for tethering, using the 4.2.1 native tethering.
See this post for more detail.
BTW, we have to find where google added the "flagging" feature, in the native tethering application.
Do someone have any idea where to find it?

I used that ROM for awhile, I just use the embedded mobile hotspot with no issues. Just go to Settings> More Networks > Tethering and Mobile HotSpot and turn Mobile Hotspot on ( I reinstalled the ROM to be able to give accurate information)

try installing xposed and the Wanam module.
in system option (in Wanam) turn off tethering provisioning.
reboot and use the stock tethering option.
if you are on windows try changing the browsers user agent to an android user string. you don't need to do this if you run Linux.

the problem is with HOTSPOT and Power saving mod don't resolve problem ...
I suggest that everyone that as the problem to also open an incident with Samsung instead of just speaking in forums.
This problem is not on the priority list for Samsung and will take time to get corrected.
Meanwhile Samsung as replaced my S9+ as well as all the original cases that I've bought for an Note 8.
I've considered to ask for a full refund and go back to my old smartphone but during this stage I have the need for a dual sim equipment and to be compatible to Gear S3.
