any way to do internet tether on jellybean 4.2? Foxfi is force closing on me and it's the only apps i know that is proven able to bypass carrier detection.
you mean that you cannot tether via the built-in feature ?
it's an aosp rom how come carrier have control over it? it doesn't make sense...
if your'e rooted like your signature says you can use this app:

I can't seem to get any tethering to work on NS4G with 4.2.1 roms.

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 has recently adopted new changes in how it monitors for tethering and when unauthorized tethering is detected it redirects you to a verizon web page on how to order a tethering package. I have heard PDA net still works, you might want to check out Koush's tether app, reported to be undetectable.
I say either way root your phone, then load a custom rom many of them have work arounds for wifi tethering
Yes I am a newby. Yes I have searched and didn't really find what I was after.
I unlocked my phone a bit back and did the leaked IMM26. Since then Sprint has updated it again to 4.0.4. I now have an Asus Transformer Prime with ICS and would like to use WiFi or BT tether on my NS4G. Is there a way to do it without going the route of loading up a custom ROM?
Thanks in advance for your time and assistance.
Cheers

I have tried wifi teather. The tether function itself works beautifully in ICS. The Prime gets its IP address fine but there is no data connection. If I open the web browser on the Prime it states there is no connection. So either I am doing something wrong or its still locked out by Sprint in ICS. Help or clarification is appreciated either way.
I have also tried the "1-Click WiFi Tether No Root" app from the market and it does not work either. The problem statement is if I tether with the native ICS or with this app or others in the market then I lose data connection on the NS4G and obviously dont get it on the tethered device (Asus PRIME in this case).
After a considerable amount of reading I decided to just root the phone and install ClockworkMod and vhgomez36 ICS 4.0.4 ROM. Why? What I discovered is that even rooted there appears to not be an app or way to Tether when using a stock Sprint ROM. They disable it and check your account settings at launch to see if you have "Wifi Hotspot" enabled. If you do not then they disable data on the phone.
Works great now on vhgomez ROM with stock ICS tether app.
Case closed.
I have a Blaze on T-mobile's value plan with 2gb data. I am currently running stock 2.3.6 gingerbread and have an icon blinking that there is an OTA update to ICS waiting for me to install. I've postponed that for the moment until I find the answer to my tethering question.
I would rarely use it, but on trips I would like to be able to use my blaze as a hotspot for a tablet/laptop. Im a noob, and afraid to go down the rooting path. With staying stock 2.3.6, would I be able to just use the built in hotspot app to give access to a tablet/laptop? If not, would foxfi or another program work?
Also, if I were to go ahead and install the ICS update would that affect things? If I can use the built in hotspot app or foxfi only in 2.3.6 and ICS update would not allow these options then I'd prefer to stay where I am on 2.3.6. If I need to stay on gingerbread, how can I get this annoying icon telling me to update to go away?
Thanks so much for your help guys
i recently went ics with the over the air update and i was able to get my wifi tethering working with the built in hotspot w/o rooting. i still rooted in the end though.
ics has the ability to disable apps, so you can disable WifiProvision.apk (i stopped getting t-mobile messages related to hotspot)
i'm not sure if it matters, but i also use the app Widgetsoid. It feels like many apps in one. I use the widget to enable my wifi (which is wifi hotspot)

I havent upgraded yet, but I have a question about disabling things. I have a galaxy tab 2 with 4.04 ics and I wanted to turn off the software update feature to remain on that version in case a JB update came out. I could not figure out how to disable the app, so I wondered about how to disable things in general. What are the steps?
To disable apps on ICS: Settings > Applications > All > [Select app / .apk]. Then you just hit disable, or uninstall to uninstall updates, then the disable button appears.
This would be howto disable OTA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856632
I would still recommend going to the latest update on stock. I think it's better and generally is able to support everything in the previous.
I'm asking mostly for knowledge- I'm rooted on the e4gt w/ jb goodness. My boss was looking to wifi tether on his wife's phone w/out rooting and he found an app that does it claiming that no root is required. Why have apps traditionally required rooting for this (if this is true and not a false belief of mine) and what is the difference between wifi tethering apps with and w/out root? Thank you.
Those that require root actually tether your wifi, while the no-root apps probably use the phone as a relay between the PC and phonr
Are there any hotspot or wireless tether apps in the app store that actually work? I would love to have unlocked hotspot, but I don't want to root yet. I can never get any of the apps in the app store to work either.
Does anyone know of any apps that work and possibly what settings to use to get them to work ?
