CyanogenMod 7 question?

Does anyone know if Verizon will charge me if I use the mobile hot spot feature?

If you mean turning on "portable Wi-Fi hotspot" in wireless&network settings, then theoretically no. The Verizon mobile hotspot app relies on the subscription.

Yes I do mean turning on portable Wi-Fi hotspot in wireless & network settings. Thanks for the reply

I have wireless tethering installed on my HTC incredible. Depending on the VZ store you go to, if they see your phone is ROOTED and you have the wireless tethering, they may charge you 20$ for that month for using the service. But there is no way for them to tell if you are or not with out physically seeing your phone.
I was in a VZ store the other day and the lady helping me had the Droid X rooted and she said she uses the wireless tethering all the time and she does not PAY for the service. so if your phone is rooted, then install Wireless tether and see how it works.

Can I just use the Wi-Fi mobile hot spot setting in wireless&network? I'm running cyanogenmod 7. Or do I have to download wireless tether to do it for free?

Wi-fi mobile hotspot works fine from cyanogenmod. I changed my notification bar to add the wifi hotspot button for easy access, and configured it as a secured network. It works as expected, nice and easy!

Barnacle Wifi Tethering

So now that the GSII is rooted. I was attempting to use Barnacle but it doesn't seem to function. Anyone else try this? I'm using Barnacle so I don't have to pay $15/month for the Tethering feature.

Why not use the standard hotspot software in the settings menu? That works with error of you remove the tethering manager app.

+1 if you freeze/uninstall the Tethering Manager app with Titanium Backup, tethering instantly works like it should.

Thanks I never knew that the Tethering Manager was what prevented tethering.

SGH-I317 Free WiFi Hotspot.

There Is a free App in the android market called Control Center by Hi Tools Studio. By activating the hotspot toggle it actually turns on the phone's native hotspot application. then you can go into the system settings and configure your mobile hotspot settings. Change the name add a password. I am on a rooted stock rom. The app does not request super user permission. It may also work for other phones.

Whats the difference between this and built-in android Hotspot settings? Extra magic?

The difference is that I don't have tethering on my mobile plan. When I try to activate tethering through my built-in android Hotspot settings I get greeted with a message saying "To enable hotspot on this device, go to att.com/wireless or dial 611" So Yes it has EXTRA MAGIC.

Still looking...
The 4.3 update has broken FoxFi. I am seeking a replacement that works to circumvent the checking of my plan to use a wifi hotspot. I don't want to root or flash a ROM. I've scoured tons of places to either fix FoxFi or get another app to no avail. If anyone knows of such, please share. Thanks!

Thanks budy its really work.
It’s pretty simple, you will need a rooted Verizon Note 2 and also use a modified Wifi Tether app.
Step 1. Download and install the modified Wifi Tether app:
Step 2. Run the Wifi Tether app and choose “Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)” for Device-Profile.
Step 3. Choose “Netd-Ndc (master)” for Setup Method.
Step 4. Make sure “Send Netd Max Client Cmd” is checked ON.
Step 5. And also make sure “Routing Fix” is checked ON.
Step 6. You can setup SSID and wifi encryption if you’d like. Once everything set up, simply start the Wifi Tether and try connecting to it from your computer or another wifi device.
it also work on other cell phone.

Links are all down. Some one have the apk?

[Q] Wifi Tether - Show connected clients

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.

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?

4G Icon?

Does anyone know of a way to not have the 4G Icon always showing on the status bar while the WiFi icon is showing?
Sent from my SM-N910V using XDA Free mobile app

dont think there is one. maybe with root you could change the icons but doubtful

I was able to do it with a bunch of xposed mods. I just flashed a fresh ROM once I figure it out I'll post it here.

Yes. There's no way to remove it without root

As others have said, there's no way to remove it without root.
The reason it stays lit is because, even though Verizon hasn't enabled it yet, some of the necessary system files for VoLTE (voice over LTE) are already installed on the phone. Once enabled, an active LTE connection will be required for VoLTE to work, even when connected to WiFi. Data isn't being transmitted, and once VoLTE is enabled, only call data will be transmitted (which won't count against your data allowance unless you're doing a video call).

For anyone who is interested to remove the 4G icon while on WiFi you must be rooted and have xposed framework installed.
Its simple just download "Samsung data connection icon fix" mod in exposed downloads enable, reboot and enjoy!
