I have tried using the Hotspot option and there was an error displayed. "You are not subscribed to Hotspot service .. etc.."
I also tried using the hack but it only WORKED ONCE. once I disabled the Hotspot and re-enable it, the same You are not subscribe thing shows up again.
I have the Tab3 for sprint

Running 2.3.3, rooted, stock ROM. I am having this issue with MULTIPLE versions of WiFi Tether, but currently trying out 3.2 (I think) beta.
Works as expected, but after about 2 minutes or so, tethering stops, and I get the following error:
"What the hell. Your phone takes back control over the Wi-Fi interface."
It's only on screen for like 2 seconds, so I can't reproduce the entire message.
It appears that the phone turns on it's Wifi, which seems to stop wifi Tether. I am having trouble finding this exact issue on the Internet.
well i have no idea how to fix your problem but i do know that you are in the wrong forum. this should be in the Q&A.
Turn off your wifi before you use wireless tether.
Thanks for both responses. I wasn't sure which forum to post this in as I didn't know if it was an issue with the EVO, the Android version, or WiFi Tether.
I have since un-checked "Restart WiFi driver" and also checked another setting that keeps the screen from turning off.
One of those two seems to have done the trick, because WiFi Tether has been running for around 4 hours today. I'm using it with my laptop now.
Thanks again!
Forgot to mention, I also wasn't sure about whether or not wiFi was supposed to be running for this thing to work or not. Now I know!
Also, I specifically used the error message in the title because when I searched, I couldn't find anything. Now anyone else experiencing this issue should find this easy - I hope.
This helped immensely. I was getting the same error message searched and found how to fix it here. Thanks leebo!
Not sure if I mentioned this, but I also run "locale", which I set to turn WiFi on in certain locations around town. I have to remember to turn locale off when using WiFi tether, otherwise it turns on my WiFi and tether gives the error message.

There was a certain version of Wifi tether that worked great and I could tether to other devices even if my phone was connected to Wifi...it worked on my evo and evo shift, it was versions 2.2 or 2.1, I don't remember but whichever version of wifi tether is closest to that is the one that worked fine for me
What the hell! Your phone takes back control over the wifi-interface. Immediate tethe
For me the problem was that I had "Sprint Connections Optimizer" enabled. Once I unchecked that box, I could run wifi tether without any errors!
Setting Location: Settings --> More Settings --> Mobile Networks --> Connections Optimizer --> Sprint Connections Optimizer
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3
ROM: FreeGS3 v3.0.0.0
Yes but....this is the EVO 4G and theres no such option in settings

SOLVED
On my Galaxy S4 SCH-I545 (Verizon branded) unlocked, rooted stock VRUFNK1, on Straight Talk (Verizon network), this worked for me:
Install the Xposed module named "X Tether", also known as "Moto Tether".
So I upgraded to ICS 4.0 for T-Mobile few days ago. Now I lost the wifi Tethering icons. Tried to recover them from my backup using Titanium Backup, but they are not coming back up.
I went into settings, more, Tethering and mobile hotspot and turned it on...but now it auto redirects me to Tmobile sign up page for Tethering when I try to browse the web.
Any work around this besides re-flashing it with a custom ROM? I already rooted the phone.
Use Titanium Backup to freeze or uninstall the tethering provision .apk (I uninstalled it myself).
Works like a charm. If it still gives you issues, make sure the device that is tethered is not browsing using Chrome.
yeah what he said ^^^
i would suggest backing it up before you uninstall in case you have any problems though.
Happy tethering
When I froze it or uninstall it and go into settings, More, tethering and mobile hotspot, the word "error" appears under the mobile hotspot option. I can't even turn on the mobile hotspot feature without having the tethering provision being turned on. Any other ideas?
Don't use the function on the phone. Freeze tethering provision and then download an app that let's you tether.

I have a tmobile galaxy s3 on the monthly 4g plan. I cannot get wifi tethering to work.
I downloaded foxfi and turn hotspot on but my pc can never see the wifi network name so i can never connect to it.
I download wifi tether and set it to galaxy nexus cdma and turn on wifi tether. My pc sees it and i can connect to it. Everything works great..for about 10 mintues and then every site i go to i get redirected to tmobile page to activate and upgrade to tmobile mobile hotspot. I even tried changing my device to auto, galaxy nexus gsm, galaxy s2, but tethering starts with an error and doesnt work at all.
How are you guys getting this to work?
And when foxfi hotspot does showup on my pc i try and connect and enter the password i set but it just gives me an error, and says unable to connect.

There is another companion app to download with Foxfi that is supposed to help it not get detected as hotspot usage. Also free. Works fine on my Verizon SGS3. Maybe you should give it a try if you haven't already. Sounds like TMo knows what you are doing already. As for more bring seen byyour LC, I can't help you there. Shows up fine when referring my tablet

I had the same issue so I called 611. They told me that when I upgraded to S3, they removed the Hotspot feature and so he added it back. I think T-mobile is trying to fool users into buying if they don't know. Call the rep and explain that you had it before the S3 and would like to get it back.
Good luck!

Ah but I can't do that since I actually don't have it. I'm on a monthly 4G prepaid plan so I don't have it and can't even purchase it.

I recently upgraded to Jellybean and rooted my phone via root66 method. Now when I turn on my native hotspot app, it switches itself off instantly. It doesn't give any error message or anything. Before the upgrade I was able to use the native hotspot app just fine. I am oversea right now so I am not using T-Mobile's network. Is there something in the Jellybean image that is causing this?
All,
My Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 2 phone is rooted and is running Android 4.1.2, build MA7 and I would like to enable WiFI tethering. I know that at some point in the past I was able to do this. Now, no matter what I try, I cannot get it to work. For example, I just downloaded and installed PdaNet (using the link for Sprint customers - aren't we lucky ).
When I ran the program, the following message was displayed:
Hotspot/Tethering Error
Unable to connect to data network; turning off Hotspot/Tethering. You may not be subscribed to the Hotspot service; please contact your phone company.
I have seen this same error message when trying several other similar programs.
What should I do to get WiFi hot-spot functionality working?
