I want to buy an Android phone for my Sprint account that I can use as a dedicated wifi hotspot. I want a Spark-enabled phone, like an LG G2 or G3, but one that is easily rooted and easily modded to have unlimited wifi hotspot. Need suggestions on models. Where could I post this question? Thanks.

Well I´m not from the USA, but I can share you a few links where you could ask.
Also I have to say I´ve never heard about the possibility to have unlimited wifi hotspot. Your Wifi Hotspot limit depends of how much monthly data you have, as soon as you finish all your data you will get slower connection or not connection at all, but never ever unlimited and free.

I do have unlimited data.

Idk if you are the guy who created the thread but if you are or he also have unlimited data:
See all the thread links I shown before.
After you think which one should be the correct one to ask, give me the link and I will move the thread.
I am giving you the chance to choose any of the 4 links

Hopefully I am posting in the right thread.
I have an Andriod and the USB Tethering works like a charm. I even used an application so I don't use the USB in-case I forget and/or my friend wants to use the internet and works like a charm.
However, what if we have a Nokia n95 2gb version and it isn't a droid. How do I get tethering on this phone? Is there an application or is there a software I must install to my computer and hook it up to my laptop/desktop to access the internet.
I have unlimited data-plan so I don't have to worry about my bill going higher than my income a month.
I have searched and all the tethering is pointing at the droids.
Just notice this is in the wrong section. ^^... Too much forum...I got confused with the "General" part. Thinking I can discuss anything in here.
Moved to global Q&A by request from OP
Thank you for moving the thread.
Can anyone help me with this situation?
For a popular community. No answer.
Hello all,
I recently switched from Sprint to T-Mobile and ported over my old number. I now have an unusual issue where I am included in the group text as a clone. IE -- when I reply back to the group, I reply back to all group members which also includes myself so I will send/receive a text message from myself.
When looking at the people in the group, I show up in there as my own phone number.
Any help on how to remedy this would be appreciated!
TIA
Edit to give more phone information:
I had a Galaxy S4 with Sprint and received a brand new S5 with T-Mobile
Model SM-G900T
Android v 4.4.2

First Don't bumb your threads so much.. Bad way to get a response, One you will likely not like
Secondly If you need help post AS MUCH INFO as you can
Phone Model, OS Version, Carrier, App Your Using (if applicable)
Also did you Keep the same phone from sprint to use on T-Mobile ?
I have T-Mobile and I've yet to have this problem and I use group text'ing occasional.
Start By Giving that info and we can go from there.

I don't agree about the bumping part, especially on a site with heavy traffic like this in such a general forum. This thread was made one week ago, not yesterday. Anyway, updated my OP with more information.
anyone? =)

I'm sure someone out there has some answers. Should I be moving this somewhere else for a different exposure?
I have a RAZR 98.72.16.XT912.verizon
4.1.2
build date FEB 2013
Rooted with RAZR_Blade and installed Titanium backup
I installed rootchecker, I do have root
There is an update waiting, and I don't want it. I have no access to internet except through foxfi, and I afraid I'm going to lose it.
My question is, "What do I do next"?
I want free wifi since I have unlimited data and, to stop updates if possible.
Once I am confident, I have an HTC DNA waiting on an update and I would also like to root it as well.
Hardware 0003
software 3.06.605.4
4.2.2
sense 5.0
Please help
Hi there!
Here's a Complete Root Guide for the DNA.
And you'll need to be more clear about what you are after on your Razr. Free WiFi? Not sure what you mean by that. But THIS thread is for the Maxx, but should be the same to stop the OTA notification.
I have been grandfathered for the unlimited plan at Verizon, I don't want to pay Verizon monthly to use the "hotspot"(I guess this is the mistake I made).
The HTC looks like a very old thread, does it still apply for me?

Root methods don't usually change. You can always look around the section that threads in to see if there's anything newer. Also....anytime you're in a thread that's older...check last page and read back for more current posts.
Also it depends on what version of android you're on. If its old versions, older threads would still apply.
Again, look through the section that thread is in....never know what you'll find!
And I still don't know what free WiFi is. WiFi is WiFi.

If that root thread doesn't help, you can always ask for assistance in the DNA Q&A section....here....

I totally misspoke using the term wifi. What I meant to say is, I use Foxfi as my wireless hotspot at my house, it is the only thing available where
I live aside from getting a dish. That being said, I need a phone that I can continue to access the web with a hotspot without having to pay
Verizon $20 a month. I am very intrigued with all the possible ROM's available, but I'm lost in the safestrap, CWMOD, TWRP, nandroid back-up.
I do appreciate your patience.

No problem!
Just make a friendly thread in the section I linked above and ask a few questions. The members there know your device better than any....I'm sure you'll find answers! ?

There is a thread in general, I believe, about the exact issue - you need to manually set your APN.

Problem solved. It was indeed a different apn with the new upgrade. Thankyou for your quick help with direction.
I flashed this and I seem to have trouble with the native tether. I can only setup the hotspot on channels 149-165, which I assume is the 5ghz band. Whenever I try to choose channels on 1-11 or auto, no devices can see the hotspot. I'm running stock 4.4 on 19.5.3
Hello xda,
recently i saw the whatsim upgraded to chatsim, allowing more apps to take place, and i was wondreing some things:
They give you a phone number?
I saw they dont let you send SMS but, recibe o send calls?
Somebody tested the "free internet access" via any VPN service and see if works?
Is there any throttle or they cut all the access when you run out of credits?
I think by now i will resolve my questions, and for sure any other member could have the same questions or post any new question here.
Thanks to all for reading or anwering.
EDIT: Wrong secction, it would be nice if this is moved to the Q&A section, thanks

Hi, I bought chatsim couple of weeks ago and is successfully activated. Today I was in overseas and wanted to use it, but I couldn't do it.
I was looking on the internet and found this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zG8KKaH9B8 in the minute 6:06 they talk about add another user (WITH YOUR CHATSIM PHONE NUMBER) in order to use chatsim. Here is my question:
I have a dualsim phone (Letv X800) and have on mu dutch number whatsapp running. In order to use chatsim (phone number +44number) I need to create/activate it within whatsapp, right? Do you have any idea how to do it without using the method mentioned on the video?
Thanx
