Mobile Data gets disabled automatically on Android & Windows Phone 8/8.1, (no idea about other operating systems) while using WiFi. Its an OS feature. Independent of device/model.
My friend tried screencast/miracast on an XT1033, but was unsuccessful.. (But, he does it successfully on his Nexus 4, using exactly the same steps/procedure).

If you have root or are willing to root, you could add "persist.debug.wfd.enable=1" without the quotes to your build.prop, then you will have the "Enable Wireless Display" option to select under Cast Screen settings. Keep in mind that Wi-Fi will be disabled when you cast screen so you can only use mobile data. This problem is solved in Lollipop, and I have tested it on a Samsung Smart TV and Roku 3.

[Q] X Tether with rooted Verizon Moto G?

dymmeh said:
After reading about the Xposed framework I decided to write a module to bypass the validation checks for wifi tethering / mobile hotspot.
This method will allow you to bypass the validation without having to worry about moving around APKs, backing them up, setting permissions, etc. It also will no longer contact the actual servers used to verify if you have permission to use the tether.
This Xposed module works by replacing the list of entitlement apps available in the string array "config_mobile_hotspot_provision_app" with an empty set. This means that the entitlement app is not run at all and defaults to the native tether immediately.
Works with VZW, AT&T, Sprint, DE and non-DE devices running 4.4 or 4.4.2.
Installing
Be rooted and have the Xposed framework installed
Search for and download "X Tether" under the download section of the Xposed installer
Activate the module in Xposed.
Reboot.
Tether away!
SPRINT ONLY: Change the line ro.mot.tether_dun_required=1 in your build.prop file to ro.mot.tether_dun_required=0

This guy made this for the Moto X, however people on rooted Moto G's have this working on their devices.
I just recently purchased an unlock code and rooted my Verizon Moto G (Yes, you read that right, Verizon) and installed this tweak.
The Verizon Moto G doesn't even have the menu options for tethering, however it did make this app work. (It used to say that my plan doesn't have tethering and whatnot)
When enabled, my phone does broadcast and other devices can connect, but it seems as if DHCP isn't getting enabled because no device can get an IP lease.
So close, yet so far.
Anyone here knowledgable enough to get this working right?

Few things:
Can you link to who or how you got the unlock token (seen it before but it ended for the one source)
Supposedly the kernel has been modified to kill tethering at the core or something. Some tether apps that require root, can fix this by putting in what was removed.
Also, you can use pdanet+ to use bt to share your internet. It requires pda tablet on the other device and you probably can't share more than one device at a time but at least it doesn't require root or any major workarounds.

Swap between 3G and 4G as preferred network.

Hi
I have searched and not found anything.
Is there any app that will allow me to swap between 3G and 4G networks ?
I know I can manually swap, and all apps I've found take you to the setting to do this.. But is there anything that I can load as a widget to allow me to swap between the two ?
Thanks

If you choose to use a custom ROM, many have this as an optional quick settings tile. Makes it pretty simple.

Gravity box if you're rooted. I use it all the time.

Unlimited hotspot for AOSP or Stock? (New to G2)

Coming from a note 3 I was wondering if there was a way to tether without network restrictions on either aosp or stock thanks

I just did some quick research and its a possibility...
On my phone (which is not carrier branded) a brief test shows that it works.
It appears if you bought your phone directly from a carrier (Verizon, Att, etc.) then it may get blocked on the official rom without a tether payment. For instance going into settings -> more -> tethering and hotspot would allow the carrier to disable data when enabled because its set up to do that on the phone (think software check).
But, it may then be possible to root the phone and either flash a new rom or possibly install a different tethering app from the play store to get around the carrier check since its mostly software based.
Other tethering can cause flags to be raised as well such as desktop browser identity being sent over the mobile data. Switching the desktop browser to a mobile identity could possibly help there.
But, I'm no expert after a only few minutes so don't quote me on any of it.

Z3 and pebble

Hi i need help with z3 and pebble. I have rooted z3 using kingroot using stock rom. My problem is that i use my pebble to enable my mobile hotspot while i drive it's easier and safer for me than pulling my phone out when i need to use hotspot. i have an lg leon on lollipop that works, but for some reason i cannot get it to work using z3 lollipop. i have given one of the programs root permission it is called dashboard for toggles, it gives a toast saying that it has been granted permission but it does not enable the hotspot. my z3 is with tmobile. i was forced to take this phone because of service issues with my flex that is no longer available. i have also made the app a system app through titanium backup, it did not help. the hotspot can be activated on the phone without any problems. i did not to my knowledge unlock bootloader i'm not sure if that would have any affect as to why it would not work. Any help would be appreciated.

How do you flash verizon firmware for Moto G Power to use wi-fi calling?

I recently purchased the new moto g power unlocked through best buy to use on verizon. It comes stocked with android 10, and uses only the google software for its apps, just like the pixel phones (google phone, google messages, and google photos etc.). I found in the messages app that I can turn on wifi sending/receiving, but the google phone app doesn't have a wifi calling setting.
I thought maybe if I put verizon firmware on it, the wifi calling settings would be available. Anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this?
Wondering the same thing but research leaves to believe no
