I'm still waiting for my Nexus to arrive in the mail so can't verify it personally, but others have stated that FoxFi seems to work on Sprint Nexus 5 devices and you doesn't require root afaik...

bump i still need to kno this also... need to tether bad.. i seen some way that looked hard so im hoping theres a easier way then the way i saw
Foxfi doesn't work without root, at this point no wifi tethering app will work without root.
Even pdanet's Bluetooth tethering doesn't even work anymore.
open garden might still work, but it forces you to share your data with anyone else using the app.

Hello All. I've searched the forum and have seen many threads about tethering, but I can't find the answer to my specific question...or maybe I'm blind and am just missing it, in which case, I apologize for posting something that has already been answered.
Anyway, I want to tether with my verizon S3 but of course I don't want to pay extra for data I pay for already, nor do I want to root my device, at least not yet. I've heard many things that verizon can't charge for tethering if you have a tiered plan, but when I try to use the built in mobile hotspot it says I am not subscribed and to call verizon. Am I missing something? Didn't there used to be a built in wifi tethering functionality into android?
More specifically, I want to tether my Nexus 10.
Have you tried clockworkmod tether? Never used it but he does great work and it doesn't require root.
Foxfi from the market.

I have not. Does that need root? I assume it is a paid app. As long as the price is reasonable I don't mind. I'd prefer a free app though.

I'd prefer to not root my phone right now. Also, I used to use FoxFi on my Bionic, yes I owned one of those, and it worked great. So I tried it on the S3 (no root) and I couldn't get the Nexus 10 to find the tethered wifi network I set up.
neither require root. clockwork does require to install a program on your comp, might not work for you. check out foxfi.

Yeah problem with CWM tether is that I don't want it for the computer...want it for the Nexus 10 tablet. And FoxFi's network it creates can't be found by the Nexus 10 for some reason.
Yea Foxfi is no root need bro. Just keep playing with it I have had to mess around a few times with settings but always got it. I my first recommendation is keep security off for your first connection then after you connect try it with security.
I use it on my phone and my wife uses it on here locked down tiger than the Whitehouse razor.

Yeah I realize FoxFi doesn't need root, but it won't connect with the tablet. I read somewhere it doesn't work well with Jelly Bean...
Not sure about JB but it works great on ICS and my VZW GSlll.

Yeah works fine on the phone itself, but the nexus 10 is on JB so there is my problem I think.
Also - I have proxy disabled.

Don't think that should matter. Let me test later and see if I can connect to my Galaxy Nexus on JB.

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 trev e mod. So far works flawless.
Sent from my XT897 using xda premium
I did not come up with mod. So I'm not taking credit for it. All I know is that it's somewhere on xda. A buddy of mine sent me the apks. Sprint has blocked almost all the tethering apps from market.
Sent from my XT897 using xda premium
ah yeah, i've seen treve around before. he created some apps to identify and disable logging added in by the carriers, etc. thanks for the tip, PdaNet works well for usb tethering, but it's nice to have a wifi option too.
Here is the link to the trev mod in xda--http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1988735
Only thing though this is the same as wifi tether for root users and i downloaded mine from the play store. The one above i believe you have to install busybox and the one from the market you don't.

I dowloaded the app from the link above. Tried changing a few setting but still no luck. Turn on the wifi tether, laptops sees hotspot, connects, but when i try to browse my carrier pops up requesting me to pay. How do i bypass this? My Photon Q is unlocked and rooted.

In the settings did you change device profile to ics/jb generic wlan0. I don't really touch to much after that and it works fine for me. Who is your carrier?

CSPIRE. It's unlimited but not video streaming wich is kinda dumb that they changed it. Thanks I'm gonna give that a try when i get home. I'm hoping to learn more about kernels so I can stop CSPIRE from blocking me.
I have downloaded the trev e mod, and so far it is working great for me. Thanks for the info and the link!
my phone stopped broadcasting its wifi when I use wireless tether trev E mod lastnight for some reason. I habe reinstalled and changed settings around and everything. Anyone know a fix for this?
Any idea why after some time (30min aprox) the tethering trev shuts down by self?
How can I fix that?

I don't know if you have found a fix for this or not but here is a link to the version that I have and I have never had any problems from it.

If the play store doesn't work just click the "here" and it will dwnload directly to you phone.

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.

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.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
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

There are built in blocks for tethering on the verizon phone and root is not enough, some files would need altered. That said, usb tether might be viable until s-off is achieved and we can truly alter the phones. I havent gotten mine yet but I havent seen anyone else confirming or denying usb tethering if you want to give that a try with a few different apps and report back?
See here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699200
Please try the latest suggestion posted - use titanium backup to freeze tethering guard and then try wifitether from code.Google.com
