I'm an unlimited user running 4.1.2 rooted (stock rom) on my s3 i535. I can use native wifi tether with no problem but USB tether gives me vzw subscription message.
I've poked around google, and motorola users seem to have gotten around this by adjusting 'entitlement_check' in their settings.db, which of course, I can't find in mine using SQLite.
Does anyone know what/where the db entry for usb tethering is for the verizon s3? Is there a custom rom that will unlock it for me?
And for people wondering why i would want USB tether even though I already have wifi tether working, is because my new router (asus n66u) allows for sharing my data connection via usb tether.
bumpy bump
Good question. Rebump.
Bump
I have recently purchased the Asus AC66R and would like to know this as well.
There are plenty of 3rd party apps available that support wired tethering, pdanet worked great for me before I rooted for usb tethering.

I bet some of those third party apps work just fine for vzw users who aren't grandfathered in on their unlimited plan, but using the ones i've gotten from the play store, i get the vzw 'please subscribe to tethering plan' message.
and the other apps that want you to install software on your PC to enable tethering to that PC probably work as well (this is what i think PDAnet requires. I could be wrong), but i'm trying to tether to a router USB port. so I can't install software to it.
So unless there's another specific app someone knows of, any other ideas?
one last bump? anyone?
First of all are your phone rooted ? Second of all if its not rooted go to the internet and download a app call black market and on there is tethering apps that do not require root

Use native tethering - all third-party tethering uses adhoc mode which doesn't play nice with a lot of devices.
You may need to freeze/uninstall TetheringManager2.apk - I forget if this was needed on Infuse. It was needed on the I777.
FoxFi is free on Android Market. I was using it for wifi tethering, until I realized it is just using the native tether feature in settings. It's a good app, though, and not just adhoc like the others.
For native tethering in uclb3, I now just go to settings / wireless and network / tethering and portable hotspot / mobile AP settings.
Delete the tethering manager apk in /system/app, or freeze it using Titanium Backup. I don't think native tethering works without doing that, and that apk is the quickest, and easiest way for at&t to pick up on tether usage (in case you aren't paying for a tethering plan).

Sorry new to this so bear with me please. I went into titanium backup and there was no tethering manager apk or anything like it. Am I doing something wrong? i have firmwar 2.3.6 baseband I997uclb3 and kernal 2.6.35.7-I997ruxkg3-cl366622
If there was no tethering manager then it was probably already deleted in whatever rom you are running.
Do this..
Settings>Wireless> Tethering and Portable Hot Spot (or something like that... on ICS... can't remember exactly for gb. Then you pretty much just start tethering. And remember, if you are not on a plan then you risk getting caught.. so don't do it too much or it will be taking away.
Good luck.

Is it possible to tether (use wifi hotspot) so that T-Mobile won't know that I am tethering? I have the "unlimited" 2GB per month data plan and would really like to tether without paying for the tethering option. Does anyone know if there is a 3rd party app or some other way around them knowing that I am tethering? I know there have been a couple threads about this but none gives a clear answer. Thanks!

Root and install a ROM then use the built in tethering with the ROM. Carriers won't know you're tethering but it will show them that you're using a lot of data

I actually DID get fully blocked from Tethering back in January. They'd been warning me for 2 months when it happened. I had gone over my cap by quite a bit in December, if that makes a difference... crawling internet was better than no internet! Had received several warnings. Made user agent and other changes in my browser that was supposed to hide the activity, but they DID cut me off. Tethering stopped working completely.
Thankfully that was right at the time they were offering the free tethering add-on if you upgraded to 5gb data from 2gb so I called up and had them add that. I was already at 5gb, but I told them I'd be dropping my data if they didn't give me the tethering... Don't know if that is still offered.

Well I won't use tethering a ton because I'm usually in wifi range. I got a Xoom off of craigslist last week and I don't feel like paying for Verizon 4G LTE so I figured I could attempt to tether with the G2x cuz I'm cheap
Lol you guys are making this way too complex for the OP. Just get OpenGarden or Barnacle Tether from the Play Store! Just have to be rooted.

For some reason the wifi from both of those apps show up on my laptop but not on my xoom tablet. Any thoughts on why that would be?

Some devices can't connect to an Ad-Hoc connection (which is what those apps create), like the PS3. Perhaps your tablet is like that too.
Ok thanks. I guess I'll just use the built in tethering app. I was using it yesterday for an hour or so and had no problems.
Hey all!
I rooted my rooted Samsung Galaxy SII T989 for T-Mobile yesterday, and went to install wifi tethering with barnacle today. I was about to install when I saw the button "Wifi Hotspot" in the notifications bar. I clicked it, and used my wifi tethering. So my question is, what is the point in using barnacle? I can apparently now use T-Mobile's hotspot service for free, so it seems pointless to use a third party application. So my question would be: what is the point in freezing the wifi tethering process, or installing a new one when you can just use the normal tethering app?
Additional note: I'm using the Darkside Evolution Rom
It's all the same, same with HTC portable hotspot it does the same as WiFi tether or barnacle from the market

what app are you using? i used to use Wugfresh on my droidx.
I just posted in the General form about this. My recommendation is to use a 3rd party app such as Wifi Widget, that will turn on the built in wifi tethering app without checking for account status. Verizon might change this in the future but it is work much better for me than 3rd party wifi tether apps.
Has anyone seen a way to enable tethering via Bluetooth (bypassing the check for subscription)?
When I'm out and about I like to have my tablet connected to my phone over bluetooth. However, with my new S3 it asks me to subscribe to a tethering plan when I try checking the box to share my phones internet connection over bluetooth.
I'm stock, rooted and on a Verizon capped data plan (not the share everything plan)
Anyone?

bond32, thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately I don't really like the Fattin widgets icon. Tethering Widget also seems to work and I like it's 1x1 icon better. I had forgotten that I was using it on my Samsung Fascinate running CM10 while my SGS3 was getting fixed.

Fxxking Verizon, restricting the wifi/Bluetooth tethering feature...
Does anyone know How can I enable Bluetooth tethering for my Verizon S3?
Thanks a lot.
I have this on my Photon Q, and for some reason, some days it works fine, and stays connected, and other days my computer will connect to the wifi tethering of my phone, then after about 1 min it will disconnect. Its not my computer, it is the phone, the phone stops broadcasting with the tethering app.
Does anyonw know a fix for this? Yesterday i stayed connected without issue, but the day before, I fought with it all day long trying to keep it connected. I either have to restart wifi tether, or sometimes I actually have to restart the phone.
I know this i an issue with the phone, but I wonder if some setting in my computer is making the phone disconnect?
Also, if anyone has any better tethering apps, please let me know.
Have you tried an app like "KeepConnOn"?
No I will check into that thank you

I use Barnacle for wifi tethering myself. Seems like sprint throttles the connection when the phone sleeps though, setting 'stay awake' under the development settings page might help.
