Sorry, just a quick question. If I root and use a 3rd party tethering app is Sprint still able to track and limit my tethering usage? Thanks in advance.

Is there any advantage to using an app like easytether, wifi tether, pdanet, or barnacle wifi tether over the 2.2 tether feature? I couldn't even get any of the third party wifi tethering apps to work, but the default tethering/hotspot worked flawlessly. With pdanet you have to install a desktop component for it to work too.
I see no reason in using a third party app to tether when you have a native app already built in. That's my 2 cents.
In my experience trying to run a 3rd party app just messes with the stock Android tether app, which works just fine.
Yea i dont see any reason to do so. Like they said it just messes up

Just curious if anyone has the $15/mo plan for tethering on their account. Based on my reading, Tmo wont charge you this unless you use a lot of data.

Nope I don't pay. And I won't pay, ever. I just use tethering whenever I need it and I haven't ever been contacted about my usage.
Was just wondering if anyone knew what if any repercussions there would be using the Wifi Hotspot and USB tether app from SVTP (from the Android Market) on a non-rooted Verizon GN. The app works great and was quick to setup but I am interested to know if I will be automatically popped into a Mobile Hotspot plan (which I do not have now) if I use it.
That being said would it make more sense to root my phone to circumvent these potential charges?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Verizon uses your usage more than what you do to your phone to determine if you're circumventing paying for tethering.
That being said, I got my phone last Friday and have downloaded somewhere in the neighborhood of 35GB, and they haven't said anything.
Wow!! You downloaded 35GB on your phone! What is your data limit??
Hello, I've been trying to figure out how would I get wifi tethering to work on Paranoid Android. I've been searching now and I found a thread to download it and such. I read the changelog and I noticed this above v1.2
"-Wifi Tethering doesnt works, but USB/Bluetooth works fine"
Has this been fixed on the newest version? I really want to download Paranoid Android on my phone but one of the things that I NEED are USB and Wifi Tethering, because USB and Wifi Tethering are the only ways I can access the internet on my PC/Game Systems/etc... This ROM seems so cool too, but I can't download it if Wifi tethering won't work.
Oh, and if you want to know what phone I have in case of any reason, I have the Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Toro).
Thanks.

I'm running PA on my GNexus and wifi tether works flawlessly, I've not tried USB tether but the option is there and I've no reason to suspect it won't work.
PA is a great ROM, make a nandroid and flash it, you have nothing to lose. :good:

be4con, how would I be able to use wifi tethering? Would Wifi Tether for Root users work? (This one. http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list) I've tried using it but it doesn't seem to work, is there another way I can tether via Wifi?

You don't need a third party app, I'm just using the built in JB wifi tethering.

How do I do that? I don't know how to do it? Will verizon charge me and give me a 2GB cap? I'm used to using that app, so I don't know how to tether via wifi. >.<

So, I just go on settings and use the systems wifi tethering? Will verizon notice I'm doing that and charge me for that? Thats my only problem too, the third party app that I use doesn't charge me or anything. So, won't using the normal tether on the settings menu (while on Paranoid Android) cause verizon to charge me for that feature? Please answer ASAP.
Whilst I was on stock I tried and failed to use the 3rd party app I had prev used on GB to tether so I think it is a JB issue rather than a PA one.
Regardless of how you tether you will use data and incur data charges from Verizon. That may or may not be against your contract rules. Your 3rd party app was still using data which Verizon will have been charging you for.
To tether on JB you go to settings > wireless and networks > more... > tethering and portable hotspot.

What I ment was Verizon has a extra service for making a wifi hotspot, that you'd have to pay monthly. So it sucks actually, I don't want to be paying for two services. The third party app actually bypasses it or something, because it works fine without Verizon noticing. But, again, I don't want to be paying for two services.
I can't really answer that question then, though I don't see how the JB tethering will work any differently to the 3rd party app in that respect.
Maybe someone on Verizon will be able to confirm, or you could just try it and see.

Looking for a suggestions for tethering (preferably usb) rooted JB i747. I have unlimited and recently received notice in the mail for using a third party no root app. I have rooted but am looking for reliable apps or suggestions. I have tried WiFi tether TrevE mod. Laptop did not see the SSID. I've read some people have been getting notices using FoxFi. I was trying to use CWM Tether, but it would not install on my Win 8 laptop.

I have. I actually have that installed. I was concerned about the detectability of it though. I know some apps enable it as a proxy, I just didn't know if using that would make it "more detectable."
Hello everyone and excuse me for noob question. I got my note 3 few days ago already with 4.4.2. I will try to root using updated files for build uvucnb4. I'm curious if it will be possible to tether if I follow the buying wifi tether router video. I currently don't have the 2.5gb wifi tether option as I'm on a grandfathered plan that doesn't include this feature for my note 3. Do have unlimited Internet though. Haven't done anything yet as I'm still unclear on this. Really want to root just for this feature alone. Want to be able to tether my kids tablet and pc at home. Thanks and sorry I tried searching every where.

Thanks for quick response! Sorry but when you say tether to laptop via USB cable, I have the option to tether either way? Now how would I tether with the USB cable, is there an option for either wifi or USB cable? Sorry for dumb question very dumb when it comes to this. Thanks again
Yes it does work. I have the same grand fathered plan and using native tether on wicked rom. On stock kk you change the apn as listed on this forum. Delete or freeze tethering provision and use a play store widget to activate tether. It will force close settings once or twice when activates but will work on 3rd time.

Awesome thanks mike!! Seems like it's working very well. So for noobs as myself download kitkat build uvucnb4 root files. Flash via odin, download titanium backup, freeze tether provision, download wifi tether router from play store, make new apn as stated on the tutorial, and should work at least for me so far... now just wondering will tmobile be able to find out when I'm using my cup like downloading software to it or updating it or even just surfing the web?? Thanks for the help guys!!
I rooted my note 3 and using the wifi tether router from play store for hotspot. However, that is a paid software, but it's simple to use. got about 20mbps when on LTE.
