I know this is a brand new phone and this isn't the correct forum, but one doesn't exist for this specific model.
So I realize no customized roms, but I'm looking for a way to enable WiFi tethering.
My wife has this phone. I have the Galaxy S 4g (no CM for me sadly). My stock image allows Mobile WIFI tethering.
Hers Does also, but it brings me to a T-Mobile screen on the device tethered asking to pay $15/month for it, whereas with mine it just works.
Is there another application I can get for this to work?
Do a search in the market for wifi tethering; barnacle seems to run well (for all android phones).

A google or meta search engine search wouldn't hurt as well.
Off hand pda net should work as well. I bought the pro version for my g1 worked like a charm.

Don't those apps require root?

you can also change your user agent string on your computer to match the one on your phone. That is what I had to do, and then it will take you to some mobile versions of websites, but that is no big deal for most. At the bottom of most websites you can choose mobile or classic view.

It does require paying and a driver installed on each computer you're tethering to. It uses USB.
or you could just change your user agent string like I have said.
i helped my friend set hers up and i tried the quick fix by downloading quick settings in the market.... and then you can check the settings and unlock the hidden mobile tethering option. I wasnt able to get a solid connection at the time, but i didnt reboot the phone or toggle airplane. it showed up and my computer saw the connection, but no go. Im purchasing the phones in a few days and i will try to do the onetouch root, and i'll let you know how that goes

It would be better to just pay for it..... Unauthorized tether is the #1 reason for locked bootloaders and such IMHO.

LMFAO!!!! Seriously! Wow. The hardware manufacturers that create locked bootloaders could care less about wireless tethering. The dumb pipe cell companies are the only ones that care about it. The locked bootloaders are so you cant screw with their bloated overlay. IMO.
"wireless tether"
I think its no longer on the market. Recently got removed. If u PM me I will send it to you in an email though
You can just download it from their site here.

As long as you're rooted you can install it from there by going to the download tab and downloading 2.0.7 or any of the stable build.

Should be available from the market if you turn on airplane mode, then re-enable WiFi. It is the wireless carriers that are causing gathering apps to be filtered from the market, this should work around it, though.

Depends on what you are doing. Overall if you are just tethering to your computer PDAnet is your best bet. Xbox or PS3 (Ha if they ever get their network back) I would stay with Wireless Tether for root users.

They will be charging for the wireless hotspot app for sure. Does anyone know for sure if wired tether will remain free? I have heard "opinions", but nothing credible. VZ wouldn't tell me either.

If that's the case, has anyone been able to get wired tether (better anyway, data remains active on the device) to work? The htc tethering app seems to interfere.
Wireless tether works fine.
When I used "wireless tether for root users" my data was still active? I was able to make calls and reply to an email while being connected with a laptop.
I don't use it very often which is why I can't justify the extra cost per month. I had purchased "tether" while it was 50% for my blackberry for the same reason. They have that for android now to so that is an option for people.

If 4g speed can stay the same for the other tethering device. you can almost cancel internet at home, unless you play games
Is that like a cordless extension cord?

This is the sort of logic that will cause unlimited data plans to skyrocket in price or even be abandoned.

Are you talking about the market giving you a warning that the file may be too large to download over mobile data? If so, I got that message for World of Goo (~50mb; had wifi symbol in market) and I just pressed OK and it started downloading over 4G.

Is that even possible? My phone disables wifi when making a hot spot also i'm sure since the wifi is being used to broadcast it can't be used to connect to any

Are you talking about downloading from the market, cuz unless your carrier blocks it, I've never found anything on the market I can't download over mobile data (even if it gives me the warning dialog). If it's not in the market, I've downloaded files like 900 mb or more. Not sure what the problem is unless it's your carrier, in which case, whatever you do to trick your phone still won't trick the provider, I think.

buy a $15 wireless router. Tada.
I think he's talking about games from like gameloft and stuff, That require wifi only to download the extra game data. That's what I got from of his post at least. And to answer his question... I have no idea.

I have a fix for this. What you need to do is go to the Google Code Page for wireless tether for root users and download an older version. The newest 3.X doesn't work. Must be before the 3 update (or whatever it's at) and now you must do it exactly like this. Turn on your WiFi. Next turn on the tether and approve its root permission. Now this is the part you gotta be fast. Enabling the tether will shut off your WiFi. Before the toast pops up saying that tether has been granted root (meaning before the tether app starts tethering) you must re enable your WiFi! If you don't do it before the tether turns on it will error out. BUT if you do it right the WiFi will turn on and stay on AND the tether will be running. I don't know WHY it works but the system will now think you have WiFi. And before the trolls start coming I've USED this myself to play MANY gameloft games online without WiFi. It does work. If you have questions shoot me a PM and ill help and everything.

Only difference that I can tell is Wireless tether for Root Users doesn't work and Wifi Tether for Root Users does. They both look the same but the latter has an additional option to change device profile and switching that to Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE) allows it to work.

They don't charge for tiered/share data plans... Speculation is they do charge for unlimited users.

If I'm not mistaken from a convo with Mr Verizon Store Guy, they stopped charging for tethering because of the rediculous amount of workarounds for close to every device that render their paid service pointless.
However, I heard somewhere online theres a clause for abusing the network in you end user contract associated with fees, but I'm not sure and didn't look into it too much. I don't use it too much and am not worried about my limits (cue wifi), so it'd prolly be wise to check yourself.
Long story short: search around as there are a number of ways as previously outlined. But should you choose to go bananas and over indulge in torrents or roms via 3g/4g, be aware of a potential bill the size of congressional legislation. Tether responsibly as bandwidth is shared by all network users. Don't be THAT guy

Lol, you mean that DB who has it in his avatar that he used over 100 gigs in a month??
So, I elected to sign up for t-mobile's true unlimited 4g plan. I previously had the 5gb plan and I figured since I was rooted I didn't have to worry about their "no tethering" stipulation. Unfortunately I was mistaken as I now get sent to this walled garden site telling me to sign up for a T-Mobile hotspot everytime I try to surf the internet on my laptop while tethered to my phone. There wouldn't by chance be any way around this issue would there?
Thanks in advance guys!

I've been using "User Agent Switcher" in Firefox to change the user agent to either iPhone 3.0 or set up my own Android phone user agent. Mind you, it will show the mobile version of different sites (gmail, etc.).
Try barnacle WiFi tether been working good for me.
Sadly I got hit with this too.
I've been enjoying free tethering since I got my phone (rooted the day I got it), and never had an issue until last month when I started getting redirected to t-mobile to purchase tethering (not paying half my phone bill for it). I had never had any issues with the stock app and the one that was included on my ICS rom. That really sucks, but oh well.
Use a browser like safari that doesn't have a user agent string like chrome or Firefox. This is how tmo detects your behavior and redirects u to the tethering page.
At least Firefox let's u change the user agent string.
