So I get redirected to upsale when trying to tether on stock 5x.... Even just tethering for another Android phone... So it isn't the user agent sniffer
My Note 3 with Cyanogen still tethers fine
Any way around this to get it working on 5x?

I am s-off, and rooted running that awesome GingerbreadSense ROM, and i thought just for kicks I'd try the stock mobile3G hotspot too see if it works, since it's my only means of accessing the internet from my laptop...and my jaw dropped because it works flawlessly and very faast....but my question is...am i paying out of the ass for tethering? or is it the loophole affect, or am ijust lucky?
Did you get any sort of verizon message about charging for the service? If not, you're fine. There's also other apps that you can use to tether (for free). The one that I've found that works best is called "wireless tether", you can google it and download it from the code.google page. Another good app is "barnacle wifi tether" and you should be able to get that one on the market.
Also, I'm not sure if you're new with verizon and on a tiered plan, but if so, watch out because tethering uses a lot of data. Nice thing about "wireless tether" is that it keeps a total of how much you've downloaded/uploaded during that tethering session.
So it seems that none of the tethering apps work on the ICS ROMs currently (at least not for me, the AD-hoc does not work), but the roms I use include hacked hotspot. Is this referring to the Sprint app that comes with the ROM by default? I have always used wifi tether apps because I an weary of activating that feature on my Sprint account and having to pay for it. If someone can clarify this for me then I would greatly appreciate it.
Wifi tether works fine for me on ICS. Make sure you choose Galaxy Nexus CDMA/LTE (toro) in the app settings.

if your rom includes hacked hotspot, I would take advantage of it. It basically is a work around the lock that Sprint has on it's hotspot feature. I would recommend that you use the hotspot hack so you can tether via 4G as opposed to using wifi tether with 3G speeds. It's all by preference though.
I am waiting for the tFD19_v0.1.0 odexed rom to get the hotspot hack so i can get back to my 4G speeds. But wifi tether is the best one so far for tether apps. Just make sure you change the Device-Profile to Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE) and keep everything else on auto
Hey everyone. I'm currently on the T-mobile unlmt 4G data plan and while I have unlimited data (which is awesome) they caught on to my tethering when I tried using Wireless Tether App for a few days.
Are there any tethering apps that don't view the phone as tethering?
What about built-in tethering app?
So did they block ports or what? I always used the built in WiFi hotspot and the android wireless tethering app and never been "caught", to my knowing

T-Mobile detects the browser UAstring and uses that to "catch" tethering. This means that no matter how you use tethering (apps, w/e), they'll still see that when you point your browser at a page it'll report that it's a "desktop", and T-Mobile will block it. It seems to generally be on a case-by-case and use-by-use basis with T-Mobile. It was always very random for me when they decided to just start redirecting my browser. There's no reason to be using the wireless tether app btw, the built in tethering on the Nexus works just fine, and since it's not a carrier phone they don't have any special hook into the OS for them to "know" you're tethering. All they do is check UAstring.
You can try out a UAstring switcher. Its not the most elegant solution, but it's worked for me in the past. I use this one in Chrome.
Ok i am having trouble with getting the right tethering app for this rom.I have been searching since the 26th for a tethering app that works right,I have used barnicle,easy tethering(works but not wireless),Wireless Tethering(Saids starting but also logs error)Im needing a wireless tethering app that will actually work like its suppose to because my phone is the only way i can use my internet and me and my wife normally use it on both of our laptops at the same time.Im not A verizon customer.I personally flashed my Dinc 2 to Cricket.I do have a tethering plan but since i flashed from 2.3.3 rom my wireless tethering doesnt work..Barnicle works sometimes but connection speed is 11mbs when stock tethering was running 54mbs...The app is really slow and then when me and my wife gets on from our laptops at the same time it acts like it kicks me or her off to run on just one laptop at a time...Can someone please help???Does anyone know how i can fix this or is there a app that im not finding that actually works like system 3g Hotspot???Thank yall
No network
I flashed this ROM last night and lost any network connection, not sure why, could connect over wifi, I'm hoping thee is a fix for the tethering because I use the phone for internet at work and use Barnacle, which has always worked flawlessly.
Barnacle works fine as far as I can tell. Using it now.
I'm using barnacle as well, but you only get ad-hoc mode. Has anyone had luck with wifi tether or opengarden or any of the other apps? I need to get on my work VPN, but it doesn't connect through ad-hoc, so barnacle is no good for that.
Hi Guys...
I recently got my OnePlus 3 and it's been working all nice.
However, my question is related to Hotspot functionality. I observed that the native hotspot goes through provider's hotspot cap limit.
I tried WiFi Tether Router app but has not been successful in getting it working in the first place. I know that it can work by spinning off a hostapd daemon or can use native tethering too.
Was anybody successful in getting that working on OnePlus 3?
In case if anybody got it working, can they please help me in getting to know the settings that are needed to get the WiFi Tether Router working on OnePlus 3 without going through the provider's cap?
I am currently have the following on my phone.
1. Oxygen OS v3.2.6
2. Rooted (SuperSU)
3. TWRP Recovery.
