Do you know of any settings to have wifi tethering work without the hotspot plan?
With my old HTC sensation I just had to create a new apn with (epc.tmobile.com) to make it work, but with the GIII this is a no go....
If you are rooted...this works great:

Foxfi In the Play Store. No root needed just read the description to make sure it supports your device.
Thanks, will try Foxfi and let you know if works.
Thanks
Foxfi not working for me on T-Mobile.
Any other solution for not rooted?
Thanks

Look over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766155&highlight=hotspot
several us (at least on verizon) seem to be able to do it just with toggles. Those with other carriers let us know if it works for you...
Thanks for the info,
I have tried the widgets option but still no go.
Still getting the T-Mobile Hotspot signup page...
anyone able to get this working?
I've also noticed this to be annoying. My HTC Sensation would tether no problem on the same data package. Now T-Mobile has it locked down somehow. Hmm.

Do this, go to Google Play and download (WiFi Tether For Root Users) open the app go to settings, 1) Change device-Profile to Generic ICS. 2) Change Setup-Method to Netd (master). Now go back and click on the big WiFi icon to start tethering, soon as the system finds the device pull down the notification and authorize it, make sure the Access-Control is enabled., your're all set, good luck.

I guess this will encourage him to ROOT, one of the perks you get being rooted.
T mobile can be a real pain in the ass with blocking tethering. I don't believe the app matters best way I know to get around it is to change the user agent on the computer and do not use internet explorer. I believe chrome and firefox have plugins for that.
I tried FoxFi on a non-rooted stock t999, doesn't work. Sends out the wifi signal, but the computer never actually connects to it. Keeps giving me some kind of error when trying to connect to wifi.
Using the built in tether wifi option, I can connect to the wifi being supplied by the sgs3, but any web activity takes me to the t-mobile hotspot sign up page.
OP use firefox, not chrome to tether. seriously.
and you can try downloading the 'tether' app from the clockworkmod website. google it.
I tether my nexus 7 from my sgs3 with foxfi and its really simple. Just make sure u install pdanet on the device u want to tether. I'm doing a tether with Bluetooth.

On my S3, I only need to turn on tethering and it works. I small on t-mobile S3 not rooted and I don't have any additional tethering on my plan.

Very interesting, i use wifi tether for root users and after using for awhile i get a push message saying i need to stop tethering or it will be blocked, and then i recieve another saying it has been blocked, its a push message so im wondering if t-mobile has a app hidden inside the touchwiz rom to make sure it cant tether... sigh
Hi!
I just installed Foxfi app. on my phone. I noticed there is also an app. called "Foxfi AddOn" and according to the description it provides some optional features to the Foxfi application.
Has anyone installed this app? The reason I am asking this question is because I noticed that by agreeing to install this app., personal information is accessed ("general info about what you are doing with the phone, potentially including personal or private info").
The above quote I got when I press to "install" the app., so I would appreciate any feedback/advice on installing this app. Thanks!

It just adds a proxy to FoxFi, which still didn't work on my SG3 for wifi (didn't try bluetooth).
This has been going on for some time now. I cannot actually pinpoint when it happened. But whenever I am at work, I can connect to the network and it's grayed out. I can still browse and use some app but I don't get notifications from my apps and cannot use Google Talk, for example. That entire app is grayed out.
It's an 802.1x EAP - PEAP - MSCHAPV2.
Anyone got any ideas or tricks to fix this? It used to work before and it doesn't. I do not believe anything changed on our end. And I also cannot just restart the router at work. Thanks in advance.

Can you access gmail directly? Sounds like google services may be blocked by your network admin? Just a guess...
Im trying to understand what exactly is happening with you.
Are you getting a wifi signal and no notifications?
or are you not getting any wifi signal at all?
If you are getting a connection but notifications and google apps dont work, it could be that your work router those ports blocked or has a firewall infront of it.
If you are not getting any wifi signal at all, I would try and backup everything, and do a factory rest - update. basically a stock, unrooted wipe and reflash.
Don't know why our how to fix it. But I know that if your wifi is gray you still have data connection. And if it's blue your connected to Google services as well
Jellin' like a felon
Okay, thanks guys. The ports may be blocked. I get WiFi connection, but the indicator is grayed out. When that is so, I can still go into an app and use it with manual refreshes but I never get notifications automatically like I'm supposed to. They only start to pop in one I leave with and get back in the cellular network. And for an app like gtalk, I cannot use whatsoever as I'm signed out.

This happened to me before and basically it was how my IT guy setup our WiFi network in our office. I couldn't use any Google push services on my phone (gmail, gtalk, calender, etc...). Every thing would work fine when I was on data connection, but would stop on WiFi. I just stopped using my work WiFi when I was in the office. It definitely had something to do with the firewall/privileges of the WiFi network.

port blocked..
google push notification and so gtalk need ports like 5222,5223,5228
usually in a work wifi only port 80 (http traffic) and 443 (httpS traffic) are open

Do you have wifi set to turn off when the display turns off?
I came across this thread because I'm having the same problem with my GS3, the only thing that solved it was installing a WiFi manager app from the market.
Factory reset plus downgrading from 4.2.2 to 4.2.0 was the only thing that worked for me.
FIX FOR GREY WIFI/MOBILE DATA, and google account sync
HI THERE, sorry im new to e forum, anyways im using a SGS 3LTE with custom rom CM 10.2 android 4.3, CWM touch recovery. So many people are not able to connect to the play store and services over wifi, but only over mobile data. Another issue is that the cellular data and wifi tend to remain grey, unlike that of android 4.0 and back which remains blue. So to solve this heres what i did.
DID EVERY F**KING CRAP OUT THERE. DIDNT WORK.
What i did: use a file manager with root access, look for 'hosts' file in systempath 'system/etc/' and deleted it. So far so good, its permanently blue for both wifi and cellular data, and also i am able to access google apps and store without a hitch.
DO SHARE WITH ME UR FINDINGS/RESULTS AND SPREAD THE LOVE PEOPLE
On a side note: i used to flash and modify small roms for my old htc hd2, but the above fix was heard from a website from god knows where LOL, im singaporean, i speak singlish, and im proud of it so im not gonna apologise for the broken english
In case this helps anyone, the way I solved it at home with my Galaxy Nexus is by changing the setting of the router to Wireless G or N only. I have two routers, so I set one on 802.11g and the other on 802.11n only. By default my DLinks came with mixed wireless protocols. The problem with this is that it seems to confuse devices. That's why they also used to take long to connect to Wifi in general. Since I've made them only one standard now, they connect very quickly. Also, because I had mixed B, G and N on my best router, I never got to really use N. Turns out I had my authentication on WEP, and the only way you're getting N is by using WEP2 with AES.
Fix is here
Hello There, I tried to reset phone,clearing chache,Data but it wont work but now
I have a quick solution on this issue and grey wifi becomes blue in some minutes.
All you need is "Rooted Phone"
1.Install : Root Explorer
2. Grant SuperSU permission to Root Explorer
3. Mount Root Explorer into Read/Write (R/W).
4. Go To System > etc > locate "HOSTS" file in etc folder.
5. Edit Hosts file using root explorer
6. Insert the symbol # before the second set of IP address numbers then save the changes and exit.
7. Reboot your phone...
8. wifi icon will be blue as you start your phone back and some apps like Google play store,keep,etc will be start as normal.
Thanks.

Solution for all
Use Market Unlocker App for solution of this blue and grey wi fi problem
google it or search on black market
OK so here's what's going on the app works great but when I turn it off everything on the phone that it's installed on says it's off the app says it's disabled the process is gone from running processes but somehow it's still broadcasting because even with it off all my other devices still see it and they try to connect but fail
Now if I reboot after turning the app off everything is fine see the problem is if I don't reboot after turning the app off I get a massive battery drain. I was wondering if anyone else had this app installed and are having the same issue here is a link to a video that I made showing what's going on its on a zip file just so I could upload it faster please take a look and tell me what you think could be going on
I've emailed the developer but he doesn't know what's happening and why anyway here's the link

Hello Rob
I am also having the same issue with D855 international version with 10e Europe firmware and Wifi Tether Router app.
The turnaround action I am using is to go to the "recent apps" (button in the botton of home screen) and close the Wifi tether app window. Doing that, the wifi signal is gone. So I do not need to reboot.
Hope this "solution" can help you a little. But of course it would be better if the dev fis that in the app.

I had the same problem with my lg g3 and my Samsung PM 900. I decided to uninstall the app until there is a new update hoping it might be better...
I've emailed the developer and he can't find a problem I emailed him a video showing exactly what it was doing
I think I found the problem if you have the hacked hotspot apk installed this app won't stop broadcasting so far by putting the original hotspot apk back on has fixed the problem but I'm still doing some further testing to make sure
I have spent over a year trying to resolve the tethering issue with T-Mobile and their upsell page that appears after you have maxed your hotspot data limit. It seems that some people can get around it using 'user agent spoofing' while others don't need to. I thought I would share my latest findings on this topic. I have successfully enabled Wi-Fi Tethering without needing to use user agent spoofing when using Windows browsers. This was achieved hours after T-Mobile sent me a text saying my hotspot data limit had been reached. First, a rundown of my Note 3:
T-Mobile Note 3
TWRP 2.8.0.0 Recovery
HyperDrive ROM Release 5
Compulsion Kernel 16
Wifi Tether v3.4 experimental ( http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...e=wifi_tether_v3_4-experimental1.apk&can=2&q= )
There are some screenshots below showing my settings:
MSS Clamping (MSS Clamping only appears in the options when using a kernel that supports it).
Routing Fix should be also checked.
Update: Just updated my Hyperdrive ROM to ver. 5 and I had to switch the device profile to Galaxy S3 to get it to work. Not sure why but using the device profile for the Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE) stopped working.
UPDATE 2: I also failed to mention that, for me at least, I have to start tethering twice before it shows up as a wireless connection. Not sure why but it just can't be seen the first time you launch it after a fresh boot ...for me anyway. So, if it doesn't work the first time just stop it and fire it up again. Should be golden from then on!
UPDATE 3: Another update? So soon? Well, yes because I seem to keep forgetting to mention important details. A.D.D. at work! Heh! Ok, first off I highly recommend using Googles DNS servers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) as you will most likely have problems if you don't. Place them in the ip4 properties of your PC's wireless adapter.
It's important to note that sometimes you will not acquire DNS when connecting to your hotspot. This is fixed by simply selecting the 'T-Mobile Tethering' APN prior to activating Wi-Fi tethering.
I haven't changed anything else from within Android or with any other apps.
Please post your results because defeating the upsell page has been an ongoing problem for me and many others and this has resolved it for me. I have full tethering access on my PC at LTE speeds as though it was a dedicated internet connection.
NO MORE USER AGENT SWITCHING!
Please hit the thank you button if this has helped you. Best of luck!

Defeating the upsell page is easy
First of all if you can enable the hotspot on your device you can use any mobile device without seeing the upsell page as the system relies on USER AGENT STRINGS to identiry your device. So on windows or mac firefox or chrome install a user agent switcher. Then use it to choose say chrome for android. Simply refresh the page and you are up and running. Some pages will not always display right as you will get the mobile version. You can also run programs such as utorrent and teamviewer without modifications through the hotspot. Any questions just ask..

This works without needing User Agent mods and doesn't trigger the upsell page even after your Hotspot limit has been exceeded.
Nice! !!
Awesome!!! Works like you said. Thx. ...
Thank you so much, this worked great..I use to always have a problem connecting my ps3 to my phone, would get the upsell page immediately, but now it seems to be working fine, I can go online with my ps3 using your settings. Been looking for a long time for a way to do this. Once again thank you. I did not see the option to check MSS clamping, but it seems to work fine.
Can't get this to work on Tweaked 3.9 for the Note 3. Not that it's needed, since native tethering works without any tethering data usage ever being detected. But I've always liked this app and native tethering takes several minutes for data to flow properly.

Did you try it with the Compulsion 16 kernel? I couldn't get it to work originally until I installed it. Not 100% sure that it matters yet as I haven't done any more testing without it or with other kernels. I don't want to mess with it too much as it's my main phone for home/work and home internet.

I have the new hyper drive as well. I have been battling a issue for a few days now and I am so happy I found this. Heres my issue, I use my hot spot as well as teathering every day. But I also tend to flash back and forth between ROMs as well, so its impossible for me to pin point how much hot spot data I used. Any way, it worked fine but now this happens....
first it will connect to my laptop, the phone shows its connected my laptop says connected as well yet it is limited access on the laptop with out internet access. When I switch it off to try again the hot spot on the phone will not even connect. It just fails over and over and over. After a reboot it starts the proccess over again. I am running the hyper drive ROM on my n900t
Is this better than wifi tether router? Because it works really good and i dont even have to setup anything I just turn it on and thats it!!

I got the message today that I reached my 5gb tethering limit.. So I installed this and followed the screenshots. I'm on compulsion kernal, with effortless ROM. No dice my internet still won't tether even after changing the APN to T-Mobile tether..
So I found a temp solution on reddit for those of us who need tethering/hotspot working. So far it's worked every time and I am now posting from my hotspot connection on Marshmallow.
Steps are pretty easy, but really annoying since it requires a phone restart every time.
1. Restart phone
2. As soon as it comes up, unlock it and go to Settings > hotspot and tethering
3. Enable your hotspot
4. Profit!
If you do it fast enough it should enable it without the subscriber error. Not exactly sure how fast you need to do it once you restart but I've done it successfully every time even with a lock screen. You can also add a shortcut to the settings if you use a launcher like nova. Enjoy
There is a background process continuously resetting the global setting for provisionong requirement. I'm fixing that in my flash, should have it tonight.

Worked on sprint s7
Confirmed working, delay time isn't short( didn't count but i have a long password and didn't rush)
Thanks, I was holding off on updating till a method came out for nonrooted users. Tested and works on my s6.
Are the apns saved on the sim card or on the device?
If its saved on the sim card, cant we edit the apn in a different phone and then put the sim back in the phone?

Working great this way, Hotspots stays on till I turn it off, usually
On stock it eventually throws permission error...roughly 30 seconds after enabled for me.
I just tried the reboot trick last night. It works, I had my iPad connected to my S6's Hotspot.
History, had the MSL code working in Lollipop since August of 2015. With every update, it broke the Hotspot. I had to turn on dun in APN settings after each update. With the Marshmallow update, the APN settings are not seen in the "edit" settings view.
Will test further, I can live with the slight inconvenience for now. It would be great to have a total fix on this unrooted device.
thanks!
The reboot and swipe immediately to turn on hotspot doesn't work after 20 seconds. It'll tell me I'm not subscribed to the hotspot service. I've already edited the APNs before the MM update and had it working fine. I believe it's after updating the profile and PRL that eventually breaks it completely. Now it looks like I'll have to root to make it work like before or be tied down with USB tethering.

Yes, that's correct.
Same problem here, after MM update this morning. No more APN SETTINGS to edit. Trying USB tethering but nothing.
The restart method works fine but only if I remove password for my Hotspot.

Thanks.
Can I use this without root ?

The reboot and swipe immediately to turn on hotspot doesn't work after 20 seconds. It'll tell me I'm not subscribed to the hotspot service. I've already edited the APNs before the MM update and had it working fine. I believe it's after updating the profile and PRL that eventually breaks it completely. Now it looks like I'll have to root to make it work like before or be tied down with USB tethering.

I take it back about getting subscription error message. I reread the OP comments about setting up hotspot quickly after rebooting. This time I did it quickly step by step to turn hotspot on and so far it's working for several minutes. Don't wait a few seconds after swiping or take your time getting to the Hotspot and Tethering menu. Do everything from rebooting to turning on hotspot quickly and it may work for you guys.
