Does portable hotspots work for anyone? I didn't know if there was a monthly charge to get it working but everytime I try using it the other device can't connect

If you're using an unrooted stock rom, then I believe you have to be a subscriber to T-mobile's add-on hotspot plan. If you're using a rooted custom rom, like CM7, then it's built-in...and the only thing you have to worry about is your data usage.

Thank you, i'll wait for the tmobile OTA update then root my phone again
Did you set up encryption or leave the security open? I'm on the gingerbread update unrooted and my hotspot works fine. It worked fine on froyo stock unrooted as well.

yeah how can the cellular co's dictate how we can use our data ?
does it stress the towers more using wifi hotspot to our laptop ?
Somebody should do something about this , what can we do ?

No I didn't set up any encryption. I've tried on two different laptops n both don't connect.

Did they see the hotspot? Also it times out after a period of inactivity, perhaps it had timed out before you connected the laptop.
Maybe even try with encryption on.
I can also verify that the stock unrooted Froyo ROM does tethering without anything special in your plan.

My idiot friend managed to find a way to get a wifi hotspot without paying for it and he's the kind of person who never updates his apps because he thinks it's too much trouble.
It's really not that big of a deal.

My XT1080m is not the Developer Edition, and unrooted, but went to T-Mobile, swapped out my sim for a T-Mobile sim and everything is working perfectly.
Just switch preferred network to LTE/GSM/UMTS and data, phone calls, and texts work just fine
4GLTE the internet is great but i couldn't send texts
EDIT: T-Mobile network much more stable with this app...

You won't be able to make phone calls or send sms while attached to the lte network on 4.4. It's a known bug.

If this phone were working on TMobile, it should also work on AT&T. Right?
Finally decided to use that app and I got better speeds, not bad for Mexican carriers

AH ok, according to GSMarena, the Maxx lacks 850/1900mhz bands that the moto x has.
Thinking about getting the Maxx.. I am on T mobile...Do I need the DEV version ? If not does the VZ version need to be unlocked and rooted to work? Figure since this is last of the real Moto I would really like one to hang on to...TIA

No need to unlock or root anything. Keep in mind that you need to be on a particular version of 4.2.2 (mentioned earlier in this thread I believe) in order to get LTE speeds. If you update to 4.4 you will have issues with calling and texting unless you disable LTE and stick with HSPA+

That's how it was for me.... Data was great on LTE, but sms and mms weren't working... But switching to CDMA (H+) data is more than fast enough and txt and mms no longer have issues
Is this available on Verizon? I enabled it in feature.xml and see the check box under phone settings now but how do you switch to wifi calling?

I do believe that Verizon is using Advance Calling as a way to use WiFi for calls as long as your phone supports Advance calling. Of course it still has to be enabled and it still uses minutes if you don't have unlimited talk time.

It is when you're not on WiFi. If I remember correctly Verizon has the calls going over WiFi when connected even if you're in LTE coverage.

If that's correct, I should be able to make calls over WiFi if I have super spotty 3G coverage? I'm out in BFE Kansas and despite being on WiFi and having advanced calling enabled, I can barely get a call through. I was pretty sure Verizon doesn't use WiFi at all for calling.
Yeah I don't think volte uses wifi. I wish they'd add it so we could make calls when we're outside the us

Updated last night. Today, using iheartradio, rebooted 3 times today. App worked great on 6.01 on Nexus 6. Cleared cache, reinstalled app. No good. Trying other radio apps. If it is just iheart, I don't care.
Overall, smooth. But one MM feature missing are the feature updates that 6.01 brought to my Nexus. On the Nexus Do Not Disturb became event controlled, but it is missing from my Note.
Installed the update last night with no problems. One thing missing is the ability to pin a contact to the homescreen which I use a lot. Found an app called SpeedDial that does the same thing.
Can anyone confirm Wifi Hotspot tethering works with the update?

What settings are you using to get LTE? I'm using Cricket and I've been trying to figure out how to get LTE working since I unlocked the phone a few days ago.
Ok, I did not want to start a new thread but since this is not a mod and pertains to PE1 firmware only I started it.
Just and FYI of my history with the S7 Edge
Purchased it from Best Buy and took the first update by then the APN settings were grayed out and no hope for the hotspot mod to work as reported. As each update came out still no luck.
Then the last PE1 update popped up on my phone and I installed it. After a couple reboots, I took a chance and turned on the hotspot expecting for it to come on and then give me the subscription error. To my surprise it never did, I was able to login to the hotspot with my tablet and get internet.
Thinking it was a fluke, I rebooted several times and kept trying it with the same results. Sometimes I would even wait 10 to 30min before turning on the hotspot.
I have never been able to edit my APN or get hotspot to work before PE1. Installed PE1 and now it works?
Strange, yes but I am not complaining. Can anyone else that had no hotspot and installed PE1 check theirs to see if you have the same results.
Which plan do you have? I'm on the new family unlimited an. U limited data and 3gb free Hotspot.

Did you check to see that you weren't using the wifi sharing feature? Did you check that APNs are editable?
i havent isntalled the latest update but yeah, thats is a work around to get hostpot on if your APN settings are grayed out. Just restar your phone and as soon as it gets back on go to your settings and turn hospot on. It doesnt work for me the first time I tried after a reboot, I get the error message but the second time(without rebooting) always work. Im on sprint with the unlimited data plan.

That workaround is common knowledge and has nothing to do with this specific update. We are trying to find out if APNs are editable so that we don't have to constantly restart the phone for a chance of getting hotspot working . . . OP was not clear on whether he was able to edit his APNs to get hotspot working or not.
op your hotspot dont work your wifi sharing. in hotspot config turn off wifi sharing and try it
unless you have a pbc original rom (like i do lol) you have to do as stated above restart phone, turn on hotspot fast before the software loads up that blocks it
I just updated my Good Lock application today. I noticed hotspot is working without restating or without the mod.
