I'm trying to tether my Galaxy S4 Mini. No matter what I do it doesn't seem to work. I've rooted it and still nothing. When I try to activate it a message comes up and says "You are not subscribed to hotspot service."
Foxfi says it's working, but no signal is going out. Can anyone tell me what's wrong?

I have a sim card I used with the original galaxy tab 7.0 and internet worked fine but now that I have the galaxy plus I get the message "To connect to the Internet with the device you are using, you'll need a webConnect data plan." Is there a way around this? It has to be something software related that is detecting this since with Gingerbread or Froyo on original galaxy tab did not have this issue. Maybe an app from T-Mobile that is blocking this? For ex. on the SGSII phone, just had to freeze the "wifi tether manager" to get free tethering again. Any help would be appreciated guys and gals
My service is with Boost Mobile. I have been trying to root the Kyocera Hydro phone I have so I can turn on the wifi hotspot and tethering. I was told by a factory rep and Amazon that this phone can do that job. Boost Mobile says it can't. Boost Mobile says the only 2 phones that will do wifi hotspot and tethering on thair service is the Samsung Galaxy s2 and the HTC Veo. I can't afford ether one new. I was also told by a person online that has been pointing me to online articles about rooting phones. Starting with the fundamentals of rooting. That this phone can do the wifi hotspot and tethering if rooted. I have gotten real deep into my phone. though I am not shure it is rooted. I see a lot of files that look a lot like windows operation/system files. But I know enough not to do anything with them beyond looking. If i can't get this phone to do wifi hotspot and tethering. Then can someone please tell me what phone would be good for what I need, for what I can afford or trade for. I got the Kyocera Hydro new from Amazon for $150.00 Other then the wifi hotspot and tethering this phone has suited my needs well. Sometimes (but not often enough to buy a separate cell phone type usb device) I take my laptop out on Amateur Radio demo's were there isn't a open wifi to tie into. That's why I need the wifi hotspot and tethering. I always have some kind of a/c power to plug into at the site.

I can give you the root method I rooted my hydro its a PAIN tho. And you cant change roms at all. But you may be able to teather and use it as a hotspot. But your internet will be crap it will be SOOOO SLOW but you can try. Let me know if you want the method youd have to inbox me for it im new so I cant post link.

I would also like to know how to tether... I've already rooted my kyocera hydro tho and only thing i'm having trouble with is finding a working app that will allow me to tether to my laptop. Right now i'm using my gfs galaxy s2 (t-mobile) and it works great for playing hearthstone. The only app i've found that works with the hydro is SVTP WIFI USB Tethering Lite. Bad thing is it only works for 2 days and then it wont work anymore. So i rooted my phone thinking that would work but it still doesn't and I would buy the Pro version but the app store wont allow me to since it says my provider (boost) doesn't allow it. If you could point me in the right direction as to how to tether I would really appreciate it.
i got my friends kyocera hydro rooted.
trying to find a working method to make it a 3g mobile hotspot over wifi connection
anyone know an app that actually works or a method to get it done?
does any proxies need to be disabled in any hidden menus?
The app is called "wifi tether for root user". Its on the play store but I can never find with store app. Do a google search it will show in the google play apps link. You will need to change device profile to "generic ics/jb wlan0". Best tethering app you can get.
Can you tell my how you rooted your hydro?
I have the samsung galaxy victory 4g lte on virgin mobile and I want to use it to tether. I rooted it but no tether app I use is working for me. Does anyone have a working tether on this phone? If not, what are some generic tether apps/ways to get tether working?
Thanks
Well, even though this thread has no replys, I will explain what I ended up doing with the Galaxy Victory:
I originally was trying to get mobile hotspot to work with Victory using whatever app I could. However nothing worked. I then just tried to use PdaNet+ (FoxFi) USB tether and that ended up working with a regular PC. Then I just used the computer (desktop) to broadcast the network using Virtual Router Plus.
So far this has been working, but hopefully I can eventually get the mobile hotspot working directly from the phone. Although I think this might require a new kernal which I have no experience in making/modifying.
you can try easy tether.

Thanks for letting us know what you did. I have the sprint device, but have not tried any tethering apps. Also, the kernel already supports tethering but the stock tethering app and associated framework try to block tethering from another source. Thanks again and If you're interested in some mods check out AndroidForums. There are not a lot of users, but since Virgin, Sprint and US Cellular all sell this phone now hopefully more will join us. Thanks again.
Tether problems
I am using the wifi tether app with the TrevE Mod, with all the settings everyone else seems to be using and I still can't get it to work on my Virgin Mobile Galaxy Victory. Anyone have any ideas or tricks i could use to get it to work?
Hi guys!! I really need help and I'm hoping someone here can help me.
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S3 on Verizon network.
Often times, I turned on my S3's hotspot and have my PC (or Mac) connect to my office PPTP VPN via verizon's hotspot on the S3.
Few days ago, I discovered that this stops working.
I can still get on the internet fine using the hotspot and I can no longer get my VPN working.
Connecting my PC/Mac with a regular wifi network can still get on the VPN just fine so
something is wrong with verizon or my S3.
Just wondering if anyone here is doing the same to get on VPN... and if it is still working.
Thanks!!
I'm trying to tether with Bluetooth and I'm currently on sprints network. But when I activate the tethering it says that the service is not supported. I'm curious if anyone else gets this. I contacted sprint and they tried everything and couldn't figure it out. Anyone have any info?
