Able to wifi tether to apple devices, but no luck with laptops or android devices. " does support ad hoc network" What wifi tether programs are others using? Thanks
wifi tether works. i used it this past weekend for 2 days.
if youre already rooted, you can just use native tethering. just delete tethermanager from /system/app no need for barnacle of wifi tether for root.

What does this mean? I downloaded wifi tether and then uninstalled it, but would like to be able to tether my tablet when we are on vacation. I am rooted.
android has the ability to tether out of the box.
carriers disable that and charge like $20 extra if you wanna be able to tether.
if you use titanium backup and freeze tethermanager.apk (or whatever it is called) you get the ability to wifi tether again without messing with any other third party apps.
look for it in /system/app and once you freeze it delete it or whatever you want to do with it, go to settings > wireless and network > mobile ap. if tether manager is gone you are able to use this native mode already on your phone to tether all you like. i would steer clear of apps like pdanet and tether for root, as usage of these apps appears to be sent back to att by tethermanager.
Is the built in tethering part of AT&Ts "bloatware"? I may have deleted it using Titanium Backup.
Is there a way to get it back?
Thanks in advance.
Thx it worked for me . I installed busy box as root user , then installed titaniumbackup . i went to backup restore tab. Froze tether manager then uninstalled tether manager and it works flawlessly now . Thx forums
Samsung infuse 4G
Yes!
It's these kinds threads that make me want to buy you guys a beer! As a new android user, I know very little, but when I ignore the haters/trolls/ignorant people, and smart asses, I find gems like this. To think I almost paid for it because of the salesman insisting that tethering through AT&T was the ONLY way. Thanks a bunch to all you guys who give back.
Thanks! Worked like charm. AT&T go kick rocks!
Mobile AP warning message
I am running Infused 1.5 on my phone. So from what I am reading in several tethering threads, I am able to use the native app for tethering. When I use MobileAP, the original warning message is still there "A Tethering/Mobile Hotspot plan is required...."
Sorry if this is a noob question, but is this message not supposed to be there anymore? or did I do something wrong?
yes you should not be getting that message. check to see if tethermanager is still in /system/app.

I was just about to post a similar question Im also on infused 1.5 and just tried the tethering, the message your talking about is the one at the top of the screen that doesn't go away that says "Tethering/Mobile hotspot plan is required to use this service. Please ect...." the one I was getting before I installed. The infused 1.5 I would click on the mobile AP box to turn on the tethering and a message saying I didn't have the service would pop up and turn off the tethering but that doesn't happen anymore I also just checked my plan features and tethering does not show up. I remember reading one of the features of the infused 1.5 was tethering but I didn't know how it worked until I read this thread. Thank you guys
But if I'm running Infused, why woukd that file still exist?
So you think I would be ok ignoring the message?

And about the message, if its the one that is on the top of the screen and not the one that pops up when u turn on the tethering I would ignore it.

Hot spots? Isn't this ment for connecting your phone to your labtop/computer to share your phone's internet?

Yes, also called wifi tethering or mobile access point. You can enable this in wireless settings if you pay extra for a tethering plan or remove tether manager.

Okay wait, so just freezing tethermanager wont work. I'd have to uninstall it to tether? I'm running stock rooted btw
i still dont know what freezing means, but it doesnt sound very guaranteed. tethermanager is malicious at best so i just completely delete it, theres no advantage to keeping it around.
Was just wondering if anyone knew what if any repercussions there would be using the Wifi Hotspot and USB tether app from SVTP (from the Android Market) on a non-rooted Verizon GN. The app works great and was quick to setup but I am interested to know if I will be automatically popped into a Mobile Hotspot plan (which I do not have now) if I use it.
That being said would it make more sense to root my phone to circumvent these potential charges?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Verizon has recently adopted new changes in how it monitors for tethering and when unauthorized tethering is detected it redirects you to a verizon web page on how to order a tethering package. I have heard PDA net still works, you might want to check out Koush's tether app, reported to be undetectable.
I say either way root your phone, then load a custom rom many of them have work arounds for wifi tethering
Im running an ICS CM9 Kang on my Nexus S 4G. It doesnt have a baked in hotspot hack, im looking for a ROM with a native hotspot hack.
Or even just an app that will let me use my hotspot with S.U. access. The regular apps im used too dont appear on the market/play store when i search for them, i guess they dont exist anymore.
(FWIW The Nexus isnt my phone, I use a Epic Touch 4G and i dont even know what a kang is (lol) )
About none of the tethering apps showing when you search for them. I think sprint blocks market searches for things they don't want us using. Try searching for them from your computer on the play store and I bet you'll see them. There used to be a app called market enabler that you could install to get around this but I haven't used it in a long time.

I"m trying to find out what files are chagned to make this work, i'm pretty sure it was working on CNA 1.6, but I'm on 2.0 and its not working now and the dev is focused more on Gnex i think.
I know in 2.3.7 it was system/vendor/lib/libsec-ril.so per Peter Alfonso's fix, i dropped the one from his ICS bugless beast in my phone and still no go. computer connects but does not have internet access. the signal icon loses the 3g and turns gray as well. really want to get this working.
I made the mistake of upgrading to 4.3 on my verizon s3 and now I'm in the process of rooting it. Is there a way to disable the subscription check for the stock hot spot after I root?
Bump! was hoping if anyone has a solution
Unfortuantely, I haven't figured out a way to disable the subscription check while activating the native hotspot. That said, there is a workaround available if you root your phone using saferoot.

Wifi Tether Router by Fabio Grasso. Method 3, everything else default.
I'm using fox fi again. I uninstalled my old foxfi and reinstalled from play store and it is working fine now. You have to set a lock screen now for it to work but other than that it bypasses the Verizon check.
Has anyone tried using LTE Network to use remote play..I know the app requires WiFi only to achieve it..but I wanna use my grandfathered unlimited TMobile LTE to do so..has anybody been able to do that..until I root my xperia..you can download on play store " fake WiFi" it's the first application that requires Xposed..and fakes a WiFi signal for apps that requires it and see if it works

I've used another phone in hotspot mode and so far the Remote play app can't tell the difference between that and actual WiFi, it's really choppy though....

I use remote play on T-Mobile LTE frequently without issue. Where I play has good LTE signal but it works extremely well.

Try downloading this app and see if it works. If it says it needs updating try find a similar thread on XDA that has an APK for bypassing WiFi checks.
