It does on nfc. That's how the phone and the easy pay pad communicate.

In not sure lol. I just know it's needed for the communication. What I do know is that the secure element is no longer needed after 4.4. Maybe someone more tech savvy can chime in.

i always turn on nfc and s-beam. why takes chances and embarrass yourself if it doesnt work at cashier.
S beam is for transfer between samsung phones. S = Samsung. Has nothing to do with tap and pay. S beam uses nfc them transfer the file through wifi, has nothing to do with tap n pay.

This is how I got my Infuse to do wifi tether/hotspot
1- Root Phone
I used one click root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
2- Install Wifi Tether from Code.Google
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
3- Use Program to FREEZE App Called (Tether Manager) in app list
I used AntTek App Manager... I know theres a lot of other programs that can freeze/uninstall once rooted
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.anttek.am&hl=en
Hope this helped.. I know it took me awhile to figure it out, not many people make it clear and easy on how to get this to work correctly...
Let me know if this helped and happy surfing

Does AT&T charge extra to do this?

Not if it's rooted as it freezes the 'call home and check if this person has a tethering package' part. Been using my infuse for 3 months like this without seeing any charges.

This tutorial is only for stock ROMs.
If you're on any custom ROM, there is no procedure - nothing needs to be frozen or installed. Just go to Settings and enable it. Well you should probably set it for WPA security and configure a password...

I've never seen additional charges when I've tethered. I use it about 2-3 times a week to connect my wi-fi Galaxy Tab to the interwebs when we're out and about. There have been threads on this forum about people getting notifications from AT&T but they may be fringe cases. I think AT&T was issuing a cease and desist or there were going to bump the people to the "tethered" plan.

If the network operator cares, they can use specialized network equipment to analyze the data to see if it is cominf from one device(just the phone) or more than one device (phone +computer tethered) as each device numbers its tcp sequence numbers independently, while from a single device they would be consistent. So, don't complain if you get caught.

I RARELY tether, maybe 5 times briefly since I've owned the phone, but I just got the letter from AT&T stating I will be auto enrolled in the 4gb plan if I don't call.
So I called, they told me anyone who tethers after October 31st will be auto enrolled in the 4gb Tether plan and will lose Unlimited data.
Also new info to me, was that using your phone to play Google Music/Pandora VIA BT to your car or stereo is considered tethering, wow.

Hey guys anyone know some good settings for android Wi-Fi tether 3.1 to work on the charge..
I saw somewhere to use fascinate as the device profile and change to digital for Samsung, but that has never worked for on any 3.1 versions, so Ive used 2.0.7 since I found Wi-Fi tether...

Uncheck wifi driver reload and choose the Droid Charge profile. Make sure you uncheck that box though, otherwise you'll have to reboot to get wifi back.

One big advantage I see is that the new version is in the Play Store, so no more bother with sideloading. It'll autoupdate this way as well.
So Verizon is allowing us to download that version? Sounds fishy don't you think?

I understand Play Store is Google. I had the impression that carriers can block certain apps from appearing in the Play Store. When I was on sprint they blocked wireless tether app. I'm probably wrong about Verizon.

Google had pretty much blocked all tethering apps from the Market for a while, but they've started popping back up again. Not sure why the change in policy, unless they've just decided to stop letting the carriers dictate their internal policies.

I use Wifi Tether and I don't have to reboot either. It's as simple as unchecking a box in the config. I don't trust FoxFi. Anything that uses the built in tethering is going to automatically be easier to detect than something like Wifi Tether or Open Garden.

Lots of places here I use an app called PayPass to find them here.. McD's, Gas stations, CVS, BP lots of places around me take it. I use it at least once a day for something. lol People are always amazed when my phone pays the bill.. haha
What is it? I have a Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Wi-Fi only edition.
What do you want to do with it? I want my wife to be able to text to and receive SMS/MMS messages on the Note.
Where do you need this to happen? Anywhere in the USA, whether over Wi-Fi or 4GLTE through the hotspot.
We have an AT&T Unite Pro hotspot for her to use to connect when not in a Wi-Fi zone. It has its own phone number- not sure if this is needed for this.
I'm wiling to pay a small fee (<$10) for a good app, but if there is a free one that would be even better.
She has a flip phone for calls. I assume it has Bluetooth capability but I am not looking to use the phone at all in this exercise. I want my daughter to be able to send a text/sms/mms to her mother from her iPhone and the Note to receive it whether on home Wi-Fi or hotspot.
Any helpful suggestions would be great. She does not use any Google services so I do not want to rope her into a Google Voice account if I can avoid it. Thanks!
Well Google voice is free. There is no "roping in" you just sign up and pick a phone number.
Look into "whatsapp" to see if fits your needs. It allows messaging to all sorts devices. Its free for a year then .99 after that.
But as far as I know. The only way to send sms messages on a WiFi device is using the Google voice app. You can even make WiFi calls to cell phones with a GV number and an app.

As was stated earlier Google Voice is your best bet. I used it on my Motorola Xoom when my work phone would not allow text. You only have to install it on the tablet. As far as anyone else knows it is just another phone number that they send texts to or receive from. It works great.

I might have to go back and forth on this - I got really used to the finger print log in. I got to the point where I could mount the phone on the dash of the car and unlock it without taking my eyes off the road.
It is worth it though - I don't normally use WiFi tether everyday - so switching back and forth will be fine with me.
I think they just somehow found a way to work around the VZ subscription check and turn on the WiFi Tether anyways. I have a feeling there will be an update to plug that hole at some point.
Indeed... if you don't accept the update all should be well lol. Appears to me to us the VPN to bypass the service check.

There is a workaround for this. Read the app description at play store. The idea basically is to setup a pattern, nota pin, as screen lock security and to fail entering the pattern 5-10 times, then just say ok to forget pattern and then it is necessary to enter your Google password to unlock your device. Such a way you'll keep the security certificate with no lock screen pin.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
i dont think that work around is working. Can only choose between pin and password. No pattern option. I have also cleared credentials and it does the same thing. Annoying, i likley wouldnt have paid the 7.95 for the app had i known this silliness. Granted its nice to see it working without root on the new s5, but its a little more than annoying. Perhaps the developer can fix this so what is in the app description actually works like they say for the s5. or others.

$7.95 for Full Version, Free to try.
As others have stated, it works on the S5 but you need to turn on the lock screen setting.
Also after you launch Foxfi you have to turn on your Verizon mobile hotspot.

I absent-mindedly accepted the Security Update a little bit back, and FoxFi still works for me just fine.

After you turn on the Verizon moble hotspot will it say "Checking subscription"?
Mine has been doing that and I wanted to know if it is suppose to or if I'm doing something wrong.

You need to activate the FoxFi hotspot first and then it will prompt you to turn on the Samsung hotspot. Needs to be in that order as its basically creating a trusted VPN tunnel.
