I know that AT&T blocks customers from seeing certain apps in the market. I tried searching. Is there a list of these apps somewhere or does anyone the specific type? I know tethering apps are one area they want to keep us away from.
Dont know if this still works but it did ....... Turn your wifi off, put phone in airplane mode, then turn your wifi back on (leave phone in airplane mode so your not connected to the ATT network) and the ATT blocked apps will show up.
Try this it works for my x10 which is a fellow att phone

That actually works really well. Got to look at a few tethering apps.

Couldn't you just take you SIM card out? Using WIFI to connect to the market ofcourse
So based upon what I'm reading, the only apps being blocked by AT&T are tethering apps?
No there are a few others that are blocked. Some music apps, video apps and such.

I think AT&T is able to tell if you are tethering. Which is what they also did with Jailbroken iPhones. So be careful not to get the plan added on automatically if they find out.

Seems like its much easier to activate airplane mode, than to remove the sim card.
Just be careful when tethering, even if you check usage you can still go over and not know it! AT&T can tell by data usage as well. I agree on the Non Inspire 2.3.3 ROMs

As for the unlimited data, no idea. There was a thread here about using an iPhone 2g but I'm not sure how valid it is.
There has to be a way to tether with this thing... From what I have read around they say... The latest update to JB blocked the tether option... I have it unlocked and using it with Telus... This is going to be a real pain in the rear... I used to use my S2X to tether when I was in the usa on Tmobile daily plans....
Anything I can do ?

You need to add a Dun profile for your provider, if it is prevented by regular way of adding apns, you'll have to use my method to hack it in. No other options that I know of, sorry.

Oh great, then just add dun to the profile that mms resides on. You can add multiple services for each APN. Try making the apn type in this apn like the following :
default,mms,supl,fota,agps,hipri,dun

My tethering want working either gave an error. When I went into the apn I saw there was a FIDO tethering apn pre installed. When I clicked it the first time it still did not let me use it but I clicked on it once our twice more and it seemed to work. Tested it out and tethering was fine once again.
I didn't have to input anything just clicked on it

On my Razr, tethering would disable the internet on the phone. Eventually I solved it by adding the "old-style" APN (for rogers) instead of using the "LTE" apn that by default was in the phone.
So my suggestion is either search the internet for new APN information for telus, or, find someone who has successful tethering on their telus phone and copy the APN they use.
Hello, for the lucky folks who have already received their Nexus 5, has anyone been able to enable tethering/hotspot (without additional charges from Sprint)? Since root is available, hopefully hotspot is just a flash away - but I couldn't find any relevant thread in the Android development forum (or in the Q&A forum)
Edit: Thanks @ss4rob for trying this (link) out on the Sprint N5, and reporting that it works. And of course, thanks to @yakman66 for suggesting the fix in that original thread for the T-Mo
ss4rob said:
Yes, this works on Sprint as well - just did it on my rooted Nexus 5 from the Google Play Store and I am connected with my Mac as we speak - nice find!
As suggested above, I added a new entry to the "global" table called "tether_dun_required" with a value of 0 in the /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db file. I copied it over to my Mac using ES File Explorer in root mode, and copied it back after editing in sql, making sure to preserve rw-rw---- and system:system attributes, and then restarted. I didn't have to edit any other settings - done. Thanks!

I've got mine, but sprint won't activate the nexus 5 without a sim. Sims aren t released until Nov 8th. You can order a sim from an international chat room in sprint. No one has even gotten data to work so we can't answer the question

There is no 100% clarification either way as of yet. Here is a guy that claims he activated his 32GB N5 on Sprint:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47123506&postcount=97
The theory has been since Sprint is only selling the 16GB N5, only those MEIDs are currently in Sprint's database. However, it seems some 32GB N5's are going through as well.
I'll have a SIM from Sprint on Wednesday and try to activate my 32GB N5 online. It that doesn't work, I'll be hitting up 1 of 3 local Sprint stores.
I cant get usb or wifi to work. Wifi the devices connect however unable to go to any sites. Anyone had better luck?
According the recent updates to this thread, other users are reporting that they are able to activate 32GB versions on Sprint now.
Does Wi-Fi Tether for root work or does the built in tethering option work?
I'm wondering the same.. don't want to sell my S4 until I know I can tether with the nexus 5 which is out for delivery at this moment. .woohoo!!! I'm going to use my S4 sim to activate my 32gb nexus 5... I heard it will work.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I managed to activate my 32gb last night with sprint chat support. First thing... Go to settings and manually choose LTE mode. Mine said LTE, but it was not actually chosen until I chose it manually. Then put in your Sim and get on chat with sprint. When you give them the imei number... Also give them the serial number from the box... Not the serial number from in settings. They will figure it all out from there. I had to program my phone.. Setting the mdn and msid manually...but only because the LTE wasn't turned on originally.
PS... After the programming... It will change to global mode... So you may have to set it back to LTE one more time.

same here.... my Nexus 7 shows "connected" (to the hotspot from my N5), and gets an IP address too, but the wifi icon on the Nexus 7 stays gray (doesn't become blue to show data transfer) - and I have no internet access.
Crap!
Getting same results here. Does rooting solve this issue? Any help would be appreciated.
Rooting in itself won't do anything - till somebody can figure out what files need to be modified to make it work.
I did what they said to do in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2512674
It worked perfectly for me. I believe the instructions on what to do were on page 7.
Edit: I'll just post what he said to do here. I figure that will be easier.
I have the T-mobile $30 unlimited prepaid plan and I ran into the tethering block after getting my Nexus 5.
"I was able to work around the issue by modifying the following sqlite database (you'll need root):
/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
You need to add a new entry to the global table called "tether_dun_required" with a value of 0.
It looks like you need to do this because some configuration data was added to Android for T-mobile that forwards tethered data to this APN: pcweb.tmobile.com
T-mobile is probably checking to see if your account has tethering enabled when you go through this APN.
After I made this change I also needed to change my APN settings so that it uses ipv4 instead of ipv6. It seems like tethering with ipv6 does not work 100% yet.
I hope this helps."

If we can get Foxfi, then I might actually get this phone. WiFi tethering with my unlimited plan is really my only "must have" for root.

I can confirm FoxFi works on a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6. It worked the first time I tried it, exactly the same steps as on an HTC Droid DNA (create certificate - one time procedure, enable security protection e.g. screen lock; I used the S6's fingerprint reader - one time procedure, turn on Hot Spot in settings menu - repeat procedure, and voila).
Cheers.

Yes I am on an unlimited data plan, sorry forgot to mention that. I'll edit my original message.
I'm on a UDP and can also confirm Foxfi works as it always does.
Does FoxFi work alright on a non-rooted S6 with the latest firmware?
I see that all these posts are from April or earlier....can somebody please confirm to me that this still works? That you can wirelessly tether to your heart's content on the S6 NON-rooted via Foxfi? I want to get the S6 but since the latest firmware can't be rooted I would be screwed UNLESS this still works....then I can look past not being rooted....at least for now.
I tether everyday for work and I am on unlimited data and my S3 is getting a tad.....old.

My Hotspot and Tethering icon is greyed out. http://motorola-global-en-roe.custh...nd-use-portable-hotspot---motorola-one-vision
Motorola says that this is due to carrier subscription, but every phone I've had this Sim card in has allowed Hotspot to function.
Does this mean it's disabled because this is an international version of the phone?
Is there a way around this that doesn't require software modification?

Well, I got into a fiasco with AT&T. A friend was telling me that he had to update his pixels imei with the carrier. I chatted with AT&T and the result was that they shut off my wireless data for 4 days. Data was restored at midnight last night, but I still don't have tethering.

After the OTA this week, the tethering is active, but the rom dropped me from LTE to HSPA+. I guess I'm going to dig around to see how to fix that.
