Tether without rooting?

Is there a way to tether on a TMobile S3 without rooting the phone?
While the S3 is an awesome phone, not having tethering sucks. I travel alot and hate to pay for internet.
Please help. Would be used for an Vista Windows laptop and the Asus Transformer TF101 android tablet.

S3 has built in wifi hot spot, just pay t-mobile the tethering fee
why don't you want to root? It's pretty simple to do so, and the benefit is great.

Try foxfi some people say it works other say it doesn't.

Last i checked wifi tether with Foxfi was unsupported for our phones. However bluetooth tether worked perfect for me stock unrooted. And I gta ask same question as above, why not just root? You bought a Samsung. Now show it.

Try going to http://foxfi.com/bin and side loading it.
If you go to the play store and look at the Fox fi add on app the site is listed in the description.

As long as you have T-mobile 5GB or more plan and it is not their new unlimited plan that is coming out in a few weeks you have free hotspot.

The Android Preferred Data plan (5gb for $20) doesn't have hotspot included. Just fyI.

I have 5GB for $20 per month and tethering is included so no rooting required - I thought hotpot is included as well but I've never tested it as I don't need it.

ClockworkMod Tether (no root) (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5rb3VzaGlrZHV0dGEudGV0aGVyIl0.) worked for me. Note that this is USB cable tethering and you need to install a driver on the computer so it won't work on the tablet.

yeah, I use ClockworkMod also. Just make sure not use IE, but use Chrome with UA spoofer (android). When I try to use IE, i got redirected to tmo signup website.
Just tried FOXFI as evercleardoc suggested. It's not working. Maybe it's not compatible with Clcoworkmod?

WiFi Tether worked fine for me. I'm rooted; though.

Just got my EVO LTE, spent all day trying to root it for hotspot. Came across fox fi in the market and it works like a charm. The key is to go the play store and read the description. Tested it on netflix through my PS3. Was gone try BF3 but there was an update. So, I'm cool now til a new root method is found.

Sprint EVO? Which method did you use to root? I have the latest firmware on that phone but can't find a method that works

[Q] FoxFi Alternative?

For those of you on 4.0.4 and above, what are you using these days for a FoxFi alternative?
I just switched to T-mobile's truly unlimited 4G plan, and I have a lot of opportunities for WiFi tethering I'd like to take advantage of. And (because I'm behind the times) I just learned that 4.0.4 and above are not supported by FoxFi.

Use Wifi Tether from the play store. Make sure you go into settings and set it to Galaxy S II.

Cool, and does it hide from T-mobile pretty well?
Is this the one you're referring to: WiFi Tether for Root Users (Not able to post links yet according to XDA)
Because I'm not rooted.

I've tried this app and I'm rooted and it dont work for mí

Works great for me. Yes it gets around their pay for tether. The reason some are having issues with it is because they aren't going into settings and selecting their device profile to galaxy s ii.
You're going to have to root to get around their tether restrictions.

Can you tether the internet to an iPad?

Does anyone who has the phone confirmed if you can tether the internet to the iPad, and will att detect it?
That is the only thing that stopping me from ordering this phone, because my i4s is jailbroke and I can tether on my iPad without att detecting it, I am on a a 2gb internet plan tho, and I don't want to pay extra to tether. Thank guys in advance.

My first Android phone is the Samsung Infuse 4g, I dumped it after a month for the reason that when I rooted it and tether on my iPad, att detected and sent me a message that I am tethering.
Now I wanted an Android because of the so boring iPhones, owning for so long, and it looks like a free toy on a box of serial now with those large android phones.

Easy Tether Pro

I just got a Galaxy Nexus. I had a Droid 2 global that I used Easy Tether Pro with. Now for some reason it does not work on my new phone. I had paid for the app so I want to keep using it. The PC I use it on is Windows 7. Any idea would be great.

Are you planning on flashing any ROMs on your device? Because if so, almost all the ROMs have a built in hotspot feature that works.

You're on VZW. The FCC ruled they cannot charge you twice for data, tethering or not. Use the built in tethering option.

If you are on an old plan just download any tethering app.

Okay that's cool, no reason to get off that unlimited, we've been getting around that for years now.

I tried clockwork mod tether to see if it would work and it does but I want to see if I can get easy tether to work cuz I would rather not have to pay $5 for an app with I already paid for easy tether.

Can anybody help me? or should I just pay for the Clockword Mod tether.

Unrestricted Native Tethering

Hey guys I'm looking for a little help. I'm looking to leave Sprint and come to Tmobile for obvious reasons. My question is I saw that Tmobile has unlimited data but limits your tethering to 4 gigs. I've noticed that some ROMs comes with Unrestricted Native Tethering. Does this mod bypass that limit? Because I tether a lot. Thanks in advance

Yes, there are roms that have unrestricted tethering. I'm currently using Darthstalker V7. Works great.

Thanks for the response. That's all I needed to hear to make the switch!

As long as you have great t-mobile service in your area you won't regret it.
