Hi,
I've just downloaded an app on my One which allows me to use usb tethering by viewing the speeds and enabling it in the software's settings. One question is that if I'm on wifi and I do not have data enabled does that mean I'm using my wifi to tether or my mobile data?
Just I've already reached my data limit so I've turned it off and I don't want to be hit by extra costs. Plus I can't find anywhere that has a straightforward answer of being able to use your wifi connection to tether.
Cheers.
How could it use mobile data if you have mobile data disabled?

I wonder if it's possible to set your phone as a WiFi hotstop (http://www.wmwifirouter.com for example) and then connect your device to the "networK" or is it only possible for other devices?
I don't think so, if your phone is actually acting as a wifi hotspot, it is actually accessing internet via your data connection with cellular line, so you don't need to connect your phone with itself again. You should be able to access internet with your phone's web browser at the same time your phone is acting as a wifi hotspot.
Damn, that's sad. So with that being said, will it actually charge money if I set it as a hotspot and use the network on another device?
It depends if you already suscribe to a data plan. If yes, you should not being charged more tha what your plan allows you. As long as you use WMWIFIrouter and set it to connect via cellular line , do not set it as usb modem, or you will be charged the same way as you use ''usb modem'' app.
I have unlimited data, and I also pay the extra 30.00 for the hotspot feature. For some reason when I try to tether via USB (so my phone can also be charging, and since it's generally more reliable) I seem to get the connection dropped within 60-90 seconds after I'm using it.
If I use the mobile hotspot app and just tether via wifi, the conniption works flawlessly. I was wondering if I'm missing a setting somewhere, or if the built in USB tethering is just plain crapola. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.

Never heard of such a thing... Perhaps the location where you leave your phone while its plugged in has poor reception.
Try leaving the phone in that spot without tethering and stream a long YouTube video or something like that...

Can't help, but have you tried the clockworkmod USB tethering app?
I just ended up installing FoxFi and it works just fine for USB tethering. No clue why the built in feature (for USB tethering) would crap out. Connecting wirelessly worked great with the stock hotspot app, but USB just didn't. I'm in a very strong signal area so it had nothing to do with that.
Greetings. I have been using entitlement hacks to enable the mobile hotspot for about 3 years now across many android versions, from JB, to KK, to LP. All this time I have always wanted to try tethering via USB to the computer via the native tethering app inside the stock rom but never thought it would work. Recently I bought a CradlePoint router that I have been using for WiFi-As-WAN. It has come to the point where speeds here are so fast that the limiting factor in my speed is the Wireless N interference in the phone-to-router bridge. If I plug in my phone via USB to my router (or any router/computer that uses "phone as modem") will it work the same way as wifi tether or will it try using a different APN or something and charge me for the data? I know nothing is 100% but if anyone has tried it I would love to know the results. Thanks.
Hi! My problem is that I want to use my phones mobile data while connected to a lan to see ip cameras that have only lan access.
I loose all internet access in the phone because of being connected to wifi, even with mobile data turned on it defaults to wifi.
I had a old Nubia phone that let me have both mobile and wifi data simultaneously and even use data from both and never had issues.
Thanks in advance:good:
Hi. Have you tried "Mobile Data Always on" in Developer's settings?

Yes, does nothing...
Check this thread from an XDA developer.
You can also use speedify but I never used it.

Thanks but this does not answer my issue, I don't want the MetroPCS knowing how much i use due to them limiting my data after i use up the mobile hotspot.
When you use your Galaxy phone as a mobile hotspot, all the other devices accessing the Internet through it use your mobile data plan. That is the way it is.

This i know but there are ways of bypassing your carrier from detecting how much data you use on your hotspot.
i want to know how to bypass so i don't hit data limits
