Hi. Hope it is right place to ask.
Is there a way to tether on stock ROM to bypass carrier restriction (limited allowance for tether).
Same sim card works on different unit (Samsung S Relay 4G rooted).
If not I am going to root my Moto Play....
I tried different ways e.g. VPN, change APN and nothing works so far.
Thanks.
P.S.
I don't want it to go wrong way if it is legal or moral etc.

I have a wonderful AT&T r800at. The bootloader is unlocker, and it's rooted. Can anyone please help me with the tethering? I have a Acer A500 tab that I want to share the internet with. I've tried various wifi tethering apps but none seem to work. I don't care if it's wifi, bluetooth, or wired tethering I just really want some advice on what I need to do.
Please help!

Have you tried Barnacle? It's worked on every Android phone I've owned.

I have tried that one actually. No luck.
Don't you need a tethering plan for AT&T? I heard they were really cracking down on the people who used it without a plan.

Barnacle needs root. If you are rooted it works great on the Play. No plan required
It's your bloated att firmware you have. They lock that feature in there firmware. I have att play and flashed to r800a generic 2.3.3. Under settings/Sony Ericsson/connectivity. You can enable option and then connect with a USB or select hotspot. You don't need a tethering plan but a data plan. Beware it goes through you limited data fast.
You don't need root or your bootloader unlocked either to use this option.

I agree with Aranium. You just need a generic rom(in other words-DEBRAND) And an unlimited internet plan(NOT tethering). I know this, because I do this myself and as of right now there is no data cap on unlimited post-paid plan even though they throttle the network. The stock AT&T Roms with all the bloatware also have a lock on the tethering/hotspot function in the Rom that asks you to dial 611 to purchase the upgrade to your plan. If you want to keep an eye on your data usage after you debrand just download 3g watchdog from the market. My opinion-its your data to do what you want with it, even if that means sending to the less fortunate & needy devices.lol
So I'd like to be able to use Google Messenger. I like the material design a lot.
Unfortunately GM has major issues with MMS due to how it utilizes APNs. It's a known issue with a potential fix if you're able to add/edit/delete APN's.
I have a retail VZW note and don't see that there's any way to do anything with the APN. Am I missing something or is the completely locked down on this phone.
If there's a work around, I'd love to know about it. Thanks for the info!
I would like to know the answer to this too. I'm planning a trip to Ireland and North Ireland and I would like to use a local sim card to access cell network and mobile data. I'm pretty sure I will need to add a new APN and edit the settings to get this to work. Is this possible with the retail version of the Verizon Note 4?
Yes, it's possible, but you can't do it in advance. If you pop a different carrier's SIM card into your Note 4, you will then be able to edit APN's (I popped my AT&T work phone's SIM in and was able to add/edit an APN).
Hi,
I opened another thread regarding safest method to change from unlocked stock os to the T-Mobile release for Wi-Fi calling, possibly in wrong area as somewhat related to T-Mobile, however my main worry is ensuring I will have full 4g/LTE support, I am awaiting a sim card of a T-Mobile mvno, but I've seen several places I'd likely not be able to even use 3g without enabling the bands required, I've come across various guides .
Several said to use ##3424# or something alike(I'm out right now so can't confirm) to get into diagnostics, this does not work, I can however use the *#*#3424#*#*(again might be incorrect code) however this is self check options and to calibrate vibration etc, unable to connect with qpst with this.
Any help would be helpful, I purchased the phone second hand unlocked to use when I visit the US, I know it's unlocked and works in UK, just require it for use in US as I use an m9 as my main phone.
Would be nice to get the Wi-Fi calling function but not important.
Any help on how to go about this would be great.
Regards,
V4mpire

Well I Have A T-Mobile RUU Thread I Made That You Could Use, It's Not Set For The US Or UK, Just For The T-Mobile Carrier
You Would Need A Windows Computer To Do This Tho. Reply Back If You Want The Link
I'm wondering if anyone has a solution for activating the Hotspot on the A50 (Pie with October 1 update) on Sprint - I'm on an Unlimited Kickstarter plan, and only need hotspot 3-4 times a year for emergencies where I don't have Wi-Fi access. Shortcut Master Lite doesn't allow me to modify LTE Functionality on this phone. I can create another APN and add dun and the hotspot activates as stock, but it doesn't pass Internet data to other devices. I have the unlocked SM-A505U1 version. I like the phone, but if I don't find a workaround I'll likely give up Sprint and go to an MVNO that has hotspot functionality, as anything with it in Sprint's regular plans is crazy expensive by comparison. Thanks for any and all suggestions.
Have you tried the solutions in these threads for the Galaxy S10? I would think it would work the same way for the A50 since they run the same software.

I'm curious if you can get it working, I'm thinking about moving my A50 over to Sprint and this would be great if it works. I was always able to get the hotspot hack working on my previous S8+ and S9+, so fingers crossed!
Keep us posted...

Yes... I tried that solution... That's where I got the walk-through for how to create the alternate APN. I started to work on it again the other night and it kicked out the SIM for reasons unknown when I tried to reactivate it with the SIM that worked before. I previously got the APN added with DUN and it accepted it but no data pass-through on the hotspot. I read on a Note 9 forum that only having default,mms,dun might help the data pass-through issue and was going to try it, but that's when the SIM glitch occured. Until I have more time I've gone back to a Moto phone with a different workaround.

Thanks for the update. So I saw you're on the Kickstart plan, which I think means your plan doesn't include hotspot at all. I wonder if I would have better luck since my plan has always included hotspot (used to be 10GB, now it's 50GB). On my past few Galaxy's, the hack would just take me from capped to unlimited, which worked nicely.
If I end up trying this, I'll let you know what happens.
Hopefully I'm not missing something obv. but I have a sm-975f variant that is rooted that I am using on Cricket. I'm trying to do wifi tethering using the hotspot feature, but devices are not getting internet. I have added them as approved devices once they connect, but still no internet. I do not have a tethering plan with Cricket, but coming from "vanilla" Android devices for years, I was just able to connect with no problems. Is there something I am missing? Should I use a third-party app?
You have to have the tehering package, my unlocked and rooted Moto Z2 Force never would connect either, also never found any third party apps to work either.

Actually just changed to the updated package with the tethering a few minutes ago. I'll give it some time before testing again to see if that works. Like I said, coming from AOSP and Pixel roms, never had to worry about actually having it included in my plan.
Hmmm..still no internet. I get an IP address but nothing. I was looking and seen that the Note 10+ wasnt on their "approved list" (if that really means anything.) I guess I can call their (existent) customer support to make sure my plan has updated.
I resolved the problem by doing some googleing. The default apn that gets loaded when you insert a cricket sim was missing a setting in the apn type field. It was missing "dun". Once I added that, I was able to get internet on tethered devices. I also moved my sim to slot two which may or may not have helped.
To add, my p2xl did not have the "dun" setting but still was able to tether other devices with no problems so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
