Does Sprint mobile hotspot work on CM6?
yes i know that you can make you own hotspot without using the native sprint app, but seeing as how i use my phone for my work and daily browsing i dont think i can stay under the radar.
i dont mind spending the $30 a month BECAUSE i used to be paying WAY more for satellite internet which was rubbish. i am interesting in rooting my evo, but i dont want to compromise losing my sprint hotspot.

I don't know if you can do this, but I also don't know why you would want to.
CM includes built-in hotspot functionality.
As for staying under the radar, I have people on my corporate plan that pull 4-5GB per month on phones that I know do not have hotspots -- like a Palm Pixie -- (and I still can't figure out what the F they are doing with all that data), so I am sure you will be fine.
i am pulling like 1 GB a day and so if i drop the hotspot add-on but keep my data up it will be rather obvious.
i dont think you can with CM6 however you can with the sense based roms (Fresh, Evio, Myn's warm twopointtwo etc).
Cm6 has hotspot built in.

CM6 has Froyo hotspot built-in, in addition to Froyo tethering. No need for Sprint/HTC bloatware.
If you are paying the $30/mo for the sprint hotspot... i can't see why sprint would have a problem with you using *any other* substitute hotspot... so long as they get their $30/mo
The Froyo hotspot is really REALLY nice in the fact that it really just acts like a wireless router (infrastructure mode, WPA etc etc etc).
Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has jumped on the new T-mobile Unlimited Value plan, and if your are able to tether using the built in tethering setting? I see that tethering is not a feature that is supported with this plan, and I was wondering if they were somehow able to see if you are tethering the data or not. My gut says no, but I just wanted to see if anyone has tried it out yet. Currently on their pre-paid $30 5GB of data plan, and it works just fine. Thanks!
if you have a rooted GN running CM or say AOKP you should be able to tether without problems from my understanding. I am not sure yet if it is stopped since i do not know anyone that has the data plan and uses a GN. The other thing is to get the data plan you would have move from your pre paid plan to a contract.

Not a noob. I am still using up my hotspot data when using wifi tether. i do get 500M per month from T-mobile included. is there any way around T-mobile's hotspot?
Anyone know how to enable tethering or if any tethering apps work?

no, but try foxfi, that's what I used before I moved to 30gb data plan
Tethering:
Most AT&T plans allow for mobile data sharing anymore. Even if your grandfathered in to the old "unlimited" plans. I've attached screen shots to the built in tethering functionality of the Note 4. Let me know if this works for you or if it's not what you're looking for.

Just because you see it there in the settings doesn't mean it will work for the old unlimited plan. The phone usually calls 'home' and checks to see what plan you're on before tethering is enabled.

Right. I understand that. It worked for me when I was under the old "unlimited" plan. That's why I said that. Is it not working for you?
So wifi tethering works and you don't get some message stating that you need contact AT&T to enable this feature? I have the grandfathered unlimited data plan and I usually tether with my i717. I don't want any issues with this feature if and when I get this phone.
I am no longer on the unlimited plan but yes, it worked stock when I was on the unlimited plan using android.
I'm grandfathered in the unlimited and it does not work. It tells me to call att. That is weird that it worked for you when you had the unlimited plan.

I'm still waiting for my note 4 pre-order from Best Buy lol. If tethering works on the old unlimited plan that is awesome.
I'm on the old unlimited plan and it doesn't work for me.
Well I tried foxfi/pdanet and easytether and they both work with bt tether... For some reason WiFi still tells you to call att...

I just changed over within the last 3 months or so to another plan but I have been using tethering out of the box on stock for a while now. Not sure why they're not letting you. As far as the old "unlimited" plan goes, I found that after 5gigs, they throttled my speeds down to less than 1mbps downstream. I changed to 10gigs per month and have had no issues, throttling or tethering.
I am still on the unlimited plan and have never been able to natively tether without root/custom rom or using something like foxfi. It results in the message you got if tried. Last time I checked with att they tried to charge me 20$ extra a month for tethering, or switching to another data plan.

any confirmed wifi tethering solutions yet for those of us whose plans do not allow it?
Yeah I should have mentioned in the op that I have unlimited data. On my current Android with root the tethering works fine. Was honestly considering a iPhone 6+ if there are no solutions out there for this. With jailbreak on that device I know the tethering works fine on unlimited data.
Reality is a shame that there is no root solution out
If you had an unlimited data plan, you certainly shouldn't be able to turn on tethering as it was never part of that data package. It was a separate add-on (I think for another $20) in order to enable tethering, and even then, it would only give you like 5GB or some small amount like that.
Had to root to get around the call home in order to do that.
That being said I haven't heard people try too much on the Note 4 since most people do have the newer plans that include tethering. I remember hearing that FoxFi still worked, but not sure on the Note 4.
hi guys
I have a AT&T version unlocked and use it on Tmobile network... how can I enable the this feature ?? I tried but it keep saying no network connection or invalid sim ??
Hey Everyone,
Just had a friend get Note 4 from ebay and it appears to be AT&T.
Anyway with the Australian SIM in when tries to Wifi Tether it give an error.
Is their anyway to fix this what about Custom ROM ?
Is it possible to get unlimited 4g on the hotspot? I'm on an old grandfather plan and my hotspot with custom roms are unlimited 4g. I was wondering if it would work the same with new plan.
