I might have found a bug in the PKC update for the g930v.
I have pdanet+ installed with the license key. Also, the certificate is installed for it.
After upgrading to the PKC nougat beta update, pdanet+ quit working, but I found a way to use tethering still.
I am on the legacy unlimited without tethering provisioning. When I tap on Wi-Fi tether from the pull down menu, it says checking provisioning, then will say cancel or more info. If I select cancel and wait 5 seconds I find that Wi-Fi tethering turned on. Sometimes it doesn't work, but after a reboot it works again. I haven't removed any pdanet+ apps or certificates
Sorry for the bad spelling or spacing as I am tired and typing this on my phone.

I am able to get wireless tethering to work unencrypted, but as soon as I turn on encryption ( tried all different encryption modes ) it gives me the message "tethering started with errors! Please check 'Show log'"
show log says "activating encryption (iwconfig)...failed
Any ideas on how to resolve this? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the wireless tether app to no avail. Thanks for any help.
I believe the ET4G can only do ad hoc so security is not supported out of the box. Someone will have to hack infrastructure mode.
i tried playing my xbox and it doesnt work.. i could easily do it with my evo 3d..
I'm having the same issue with encryption on wifi tethering. Error in iwconfig shows up in logs. Everything else works fine.
Adhock mode being the limitation doesn't seem to make sense... as I recall EVO 4G ran that way too and encryption worked... don't quote me though I could be wrong
Anyone have anything else on this?
OK I read up, seems the EVO could do Infrastructure mode. Man I'm starting to miss that suckers fucntionality... Bring on the fixes and custom ROM's!
I have the same problem, Epic 4G touch with Calkulin ROM, and I think it has something to do with the WiFi Tether app. If I use the Sprint Hotspot app I can set encryption just fine, everything works fine and dandy. But if I switch over to WiFi Tether app, when I enable "iwconfig" encryption it says there is an issue in log. If I use "WPA_supplecant" it enables the wifi network but doesn't apply any sort of encryption. And I'm absolutely positive the Sprint Hotspot app applies encryption just fine.
The reason I want to get WiFi Tether working is because I want to go back to the stock ROM, which I can't use Sprint Hotspot app on.
Hey guys.
I'm a proud owner of a nice Samsung Galaxy Note 2 phone.
I'm in the UK, pay monthly with 3 mobile.
I've rooted my phone, but the rom is still the stock one (I'm not exactly an expert and so I don't really want to mess around with it with my noobhands, the phone is costing me loads already).
After a lot of pain and sweat I managed to get USB tethering working through PDANet 3.50 with level 1 tether hiding.
Without ticking the hide option, or using any other app, or using the stock tether options, a second after connecting with my laptop (windows 7), I can't surf the internet, I immediately get redirected to 3's tether block site that tells me off, both on the laptop and the phone.
Question is simple, how to get around this? I mean get wifi tethering work without 3 knowing it.
I tried:
most wifi tethering apps on the market, rooted and nonrooted
the stock wifi tethering options, both wifi and bluetooth
changing the user string in my browser
I'm not on The One Plan, sadly, I would love to be, but I didn't know it's the only one with tethering allowed. And because I'm in a contract, I can't do anything either. 3's tethering addon is more than unreasonable - 5 pounds for 1GB. Ridiculous.
Thanks!
Dan
Edit1: Certain sites trigger the tether block and I have to restart the phone or turn on flight mode for some seconds few seconds after I visit them

I found that flashing a custom rom and then activating wifi hot spot the tethering worked fine on my plan which was text 500 on 3 with 5 pound Internet add on which didn't allow tethering and got that blocking page before I did the custom rom I just used in the built in tethering no apps

I found a simple solution that worked for me on Orange UK, might work on other networks too. You will need to create a new APN and copy over all the settings from your default access point (you can't edit the default). Near the bottom of the APN settings there is an option "APN type" - mine was set to "default, supl". Add "dun" to the end of this list e.g. "default, supl, dun" and select this as the default access point.
I have a T-Mobile Note 3, still using the stock rom but I have rooted it. My question is there any way to wifi tether that does not "verify" tethering status with T-Mobile?
When starting up the built in hot-spot or FoxFi a popup comes up and tethering is verified with T-Mobile.
I know, I know, T-Mobile comes with X amount of free tethering. I have 2.5 gigs of free tethering and I never go over it. However, I'm going to Mexico for two weeks and T-Mobile has unlimited free international data but no tethering. I assume the "verify" step is going to stop me from tethering.
What rooted app will allow wifi tethering for the Note 3 that does no verification with T-Mobile? I've already tried 10 wifi tether apps from the market place and none of them work on the Note 3.
Bumping as I have a similar question. With Jellybean I just froze the provisioning apk and this worked. In Kitkat doing this causes force closes.
I have a Tasker task that turns on the hotspot when my radio connects to my phone via Bluetooth. This works fine if the screen is on, but the point is to have this happen automatically. If I have to take my phone out of my pocket and make sure the screen stays on, I might as well just turn on tethering manually. The task does run as I have verified that the other parts of the task run while the screen is off.
I'm pretty sure that all the info to address this is in a thread that I just bumped a minute or 5 ago.
I figured it out. At least for my situation. I have tethering and I wasn't trying to bypass any limits. I just wanted to enable tethering without the screen being on. I modified the framework-res APK to not call the provisioning APK and froze the Tethering*.apk files.
I tried to attach the file but it is not working. I will try again later.
framework-res.apk
I also added Bluetooth tethering option.
Can you give us the link daneurysm ? Thanks!

Thanks a lot for this, I have been trying for over 2 months, reading and going to youtube, but I just could not get it working...

Thanks a lot.
So my stupid self accidentally deleted my tethering provision (apk) instead of duplicating it. If someone could back up theirs and upload here that would be awesome. I'm currently rooted on Lollipop if that's any different. Thanks in advance.
Edit: I use the adroid app WiFi Tether so I do not use the native tethering application. If deleting the tethering provision wouldn it affect my WiFi Tether app? I notice now turning it on it gets a tethering provision error but that's about it. I press OK and my WiFi Tether continues and starts up like normal.
I just upgraded to Lollipop and I am not sure if I like it. Anyway, I found out that I couldn't start my FoxFi , probably blocked by Verzion or something. However, I think I found a work-around. When I started the hotspot process in FoxFi, I would pull down my notification bar and tap the Mobile Hotspot. The phone wouldn't do anything for a few second then it would say I that I don't have a mobile subscription 'yada yada' but then the hotspot would turn on and the SSID would have FoxFi99. The FoxFi app says the process failed, but the hotspot is active.
Think I might have found a useful glitch?
