Galaxy s5 boost. Unlimited wifi hotspot achieved? - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, this is my first post on here in years. Forgive me if I am not in the right section or if this question has been answered countless times. Anyways, I have had an Galaxy s3 Boost for years now. When I first got the phone, I rooted and put a custom rom on the phone. I believe it was "Wicked X". Not sure the exact build model numbers for the phones or rom. Will insert later if needed.
Well with Wicked X, I was able to acheive unlimited Hotspot access with no cap. Normally on the plan I am on, the hotspot caps at 8 gigs. I was using 30+ with this rom build.
My question is, I am switching to the S5 now and would like to know a way to achieve the same on this phone as I did with the s3. Maybe this has already been answered and if so can someone please redirect me.
I have no problem achieving root access on this phone but I would like to know of a rom that gives me Unlimited hotspot cap like Wicked X did for me with the S3.
Thanks ahead.

you may want to look at the ROM you used and the apk that sounds like was baked into it. It might have just been using one of the many hotspot apps that dont tell the network that youre utilizing hotspot. Chainfire had one out there before he retired that will likely suit your needs. I use resurrection remix and it has hotspot baked in that doesnt tell my carrier that im using my data for that.

Thanks man. I'll check it out.

[Q] tethering and my htc and att?

Hello, can someone help me with something. I rooted my htc inspire a few months back. I did not change the room just left it as is. I am now trying to tethering my accer a500 to my htc inspire. I have tried the hot spot and also tried to hook cable to tablet from phone. when i try hot spot it turns on then turns off says i need to call att.
I am wondering do i have to flash phone with a differnet rom inorder to use those functions. or is their a way around the issue. Sorry for my lack of knowing lol. i am looking but I have not found a newbie guid covering this. I am asuming i do need to flash phone with custom rom but wanted to make sure.
update
I guess should of added more info. I have rooted my phone a long while back. I did not flash a custom Rom to my phone. I am running the Rom the phone came with just rooted. Thanks again for any help someone will be able to give. I am still reading the fourms just guess not understanding. From what I am getting if I want hot spot to work or tethering to work I need to flash my phone with a custom Rom.
a 30second search of putting 'free tether htc inspire' into google would have given you the answer you need. This has been asked over and over and over. You are technically breaching your agreement and if you get caught that is on you. Here is a link in the market for a simple to use app. Next time please search before making threads.

ok
Lol sorry but you really think I didn't do that like a month ago. Really I have read and re-read every topic even close to covering this topic. One topic saying yes you can the next saying it didn't work. Figured would find someone nice enough to say yes you can do it, and here is the topic area to look. Thank you for the link
Update, followed your link and it went no were. Google free tethering again and came up with the same thing. Someone saying they have a way to make it work. Then a bunch of posts after that with people saying it worked for a bit but not now. I'm just looking to see if it can be done, what has and has not worked and if I am right and I need a custom Rom.
I use EasyTether Pro, don't know if its safe, but I have been using it for almost 2 years on 2 different phones, and haven't been stuck with a higher bill yet

thanks for the info
Was wondering do you guys use the cable, or set up a WiFi way. I don't plan on doing any downloading I use a program that looks up info for me on the net. Maybe some Facebook on the night ****. Once again thanks for the help with this very cool.
I dont have to DD an app to use hotspot because my dev built it in, which most roms do... but if you must stick with your stock rom... (thumbs down)
I used "open garden" wifi tether on a few different phones requiring that functionality. Its one of the best out there IMHO
P.S. If you like the stock feel and stability? of your stock rom, but are ready to open your phone up to a brand new life...
My suggestion for a jump off point(ROM) is 'COREDROID'! I dont rock it anymore, but it was imo the best, next very close runner up would be 'AndroidRevolution'...
Both of those have built in hotspot, plus a WAYYY faster UI than stock. Just My Opinion. good luck!
I have never tried to tether using stock rom, however almost all custom roms I have used have the ability to tether. Maybe try a custom rom, I like IceColdSandwich v 4.2. Good luck!
Thank u very much that was what I was really looking for. I will start looking for custom Rom that might work for me. I really need to learn how to back up the Rom I have so I can save it so I can flash it back to phone if need be. Thanks again all for all the help with this.
Start by looking for a recovery like "cwm recovery"... within the Inspire forums. Follow the directions exactly and read them ALL first, then reread them before flashing. Once youve achieved a recovery, you'll have opened yourself up to try ROMS i.e.Try coredroid for a few days then perform a backup of coredroid, then flash AR and run that for a few days.
As it seems in your OP, youre kinda used to a stock ROM and both of those are based on stock, with enhancements, and bloatware removed... MUCH FASTER and responsive.
So just start with one thing at a time - Recovery Time!!!
p.s. once youve installed your recovery, you should backup your current config before going to the next step - ROM!!! Practice good backup skills, and you'll limit your headaches considerably.
hello, thank you all for your replies. I am really wanting to move up to custom roms. Prob is I do not know how to back up my current rom, and how to check it to make sure its good. I am looking for the info and what app to use to get the best back up file. i want to be sure I know how to back up and also how to go back to the back up if need be before I move forward. If someone knows of a guide to do that stuff or has any good information could you pm me please. thanks a bunch for the help.

I used the EasyTether app a few times around last Christmas. Today I got the email from AT&T about tethering. So I guess now we can't use EasyTether?
I went to my local store yesterday and had a rep examine my phone to be sure there was no way I could tether. She noted it in my account. Today I got a txt msg saying I was tethering. So I called the 866 number in the msg and the phone rep told me they can now tell any time a computer or any other device is plugged into the phone and any time a tethering app is used. So according to her logic, we can't even use our computers to charge our phones.

*I* know that. But she apparently doesn't. She told me that ANY time ANYTHING is plugged into the phone now counts as tethering. Even if NO apps are being used. I know better than to believe that lol.

Sucks for EasyTether and PDANet users
This seems a good place to ask. Of course, the ref with whom I spoke claims that their system is flawless, but is there anyone here who kows AT&Ts systems that can speak as to the reliability of their inspection system?
The reason I ask, I was informed that "the data connection from your phone was opened to another device several times within the past 2 months." I used it once, I'm afraid that something looks like tethering to their system, and I'll end up with a more expensive capped plan rather than my unlimited plan (truth is that I've only gone over 3 GB once of which I'm aware, I just don't like the concept of caps.... or more cost).
I finaly put a custom rom on my phone and was able to hotspot and tether my phone to my laptop. Only used it to load one page of xda just to see if it worked or not. I never got a text meassage or phone call or anything. I also use a bunch of bandwidth on a daily bases. e-mail, web games and such. I had to re-lock my phone sending it to htc to get repaired, when i get it back it will be re rooted and custom rom and tethered again. Will let you know what happens then. lol
They will constantly improve the system. the more people that find ways around it the more they will invest in closing the holes. they didnt used to have the ability to see but more and more is pointing to packet inspection and TTL's on them to see if theres another device behind the phone. it's not just an apn setting anymore. it's best either to not tether and breach contract or just pay the $15 a month and use it. Getting around it now, could change next week or a month or tomorrow. companies will do what they can to protect their services from being taken advantage of, and with the number of users that are stealing tethering data, that is a considerable cost. do i think its fair that i need to pay $15 to connect my pc to phone for just a picture here and there, no, but the consumer always wants everything for free.

[Q] Enable Tethering on AT&T HTC One X

Anyone with the AT&T HTC One X been able to find a way to enable tethering?
I know that Roger users get tethering enabled for free, unfortunately AT&T doesn't give us the same courtesy in the US.
I found this trick listed for enabling Tethering on the Galaxy Nexus that works on non-rooted devices.
"Elixer 2
Pros: Free
Cons: Confusing to setup at first
1. Install Elixer2
2. Install Elixer2 Widgets
The way I think this works is, you need to install Elixer2 to give you tons of tools and information about your device, so that the widgets work correctly.
Elixer2 Widgets gives you widget tools to create widgets for your device.
You can create a "Wi-Fi AP (Hotspot) toggle" widget that turns on Portable Wifi Hotspot. Doing this bypasses the wireless carrier check, and allows you to modify your AP settings to create a Hotspot."
I was curious if anyone knows if the Elixer 2 trick works on the AT&T HTC One X too?
Or perhaps someone else has been able to figure out another way since there isn't a root method available yet for the HTC One X.
Tasker widget might be able to do this as well.

Ah, has anyone tried using Elixer 2 or Tasker to enable tethering on an AT&T HOX?
You can tether on any device. Just install the right app or root. However, within a few hours to a few months, att will see and give you a warnign to stop tethring. If you continue, they auto-upgrade you to a tethering line. There is no way to go around it.

That is not true that they will eventually detect. I have been using tethering for a while on my iPhone and it hasn't been detected. It all has to do with that you need to make sure to use the right APN.

That's what custom ROM's are for. I don't abuse tethering, I do it occasionally and have never received any type of warning from ATT. Proper custom ROM's remove all kinds of traceable software back to the carriers. (e.g. CM9)

I am very aware that with a custom ROM or even a root app like Wifi Tether that you can easily enable tethering. However, I am trying to find out if there is a solution to get it working if you are not rooted.
Right now there is no custom ROMs or even a root for the AT&T HTC One X so the custom ROMs or even Wifi Tether are not an option. So back to my original question does anyone know if Elixer 2 or Tasker work for enabling tethering on the HTC One X?

I understood that, sorry for side stepping on the topic. I got caught up answering that there is a way around the carrier knowing about your tethering.
I don't know how much similarity between HTC's tethering code and Samsung's tethering code, I tried your apps mentioned above on my Samsung GS2 running latest AT&T ICS leak and it didn't work. It does bypass the account checking but there is no internet connection from the tethered devices what so ever. The new tethering code for these Samsung devices in ICS leaks are much difficult to bypass now than the ones in GB.
We will know it once we have AT&T HOX in hand.
This is the easiest solution that works on all android devices.

I guess its luck of the draw then lol, i tetherd like 300 mb 2 monthes ago and got an att text warning 3 days later.
Just as an update, the Rogers RUU is online now, you can find it in the DEV section. Those who wanna attempt to flash its boot.img and system.img to an AT&T phone, knock yourselves out!
Not saying it's gonna work necessarily...
Easy Tether always worked for me. It uses the Android debugging mode. You need to use USB but whatever. Totally worthwhile (costs about $10 one time fee) and I'm not sure how they would detect this. IF they gave you a hard time you could simply explain that you develop Android apps and that you're not tethering. They may buy that.
When tethering is enabled through the device via normal means, then I think they would know about it...But if you're going through the debugger, I just can't see how they would know.
If they ever did or worse yet, IF any carrier is collecting data about user agents, etc. to see if you're using a desktop browser...Then I think that's a severe privacy concern.
I would hope anyone getting a warning from a carrier would because they have a rooted phone and they have the actual tethering system feature enabled for which the operating system likely sends up some sort of flag to notify the carrier (hence why people are saying it depends on what ROM you're using). OR because of their usage patterns, ie. heavy usage in short periods of time. A phone can only have so many browser tabs open and use so much data in a short period of time. They have this stuff down to a science.
However...If you're tethering to check your e-mail, browse a little, do work, and like me...build web sites and what not from Starbucks (because their free WiFi doesn't allow you to use SSH) then I really can't imagine you'd get an angry letter.
Again, this is all speculation...I use Sprint and never had an issue. However, come Sunday I will be switching to AT&T for the better looking HTC One X...Oh right and for the working 4G. Despite half the storage space.
Elixir 2/Widgets does not work on my ATT HOX for the mobile AP. I still get the "call 611 to enable tethering" popup.
Has anyone tried Foxfi from the market?
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
FoxFi does not support wifi for any HTC phones, only Bluetooth (as stated in-app).
Foxfi keeps giving me some cryptic error message "fail to open bluetooth". Being unable to root / tether and downgrade from 32gb to 16gb (and in actuality 9.96 gb) is really pissing me off...
Edit: Easy Tether works. Just using the free version so far, no issues yet. Will know more extensively in the next few days.
Clockworkmod
I use tether from clockworkmod. cost $4.99 USB only though

[Q] Verizon S3 Root Tether ROM

Hello,
I have a rooted verizon S3 i535. I'm one of the lucky to be on the unlimited grandfathered plan.  Anyways, I've been using wifi root tether for months and all of a sudden it just stopped working (yes I do have updates disabled, still on 4.0), well technically the wifi portion of the tether broke, it still starts but just no longer broadcasts the SSID. I also downloaded the SVTP wifi hotspot app (non-root) and that worked for a few days, it still starts up but I the wifi broadcast is now messed up on that device (can't connect with anything to the broadcasted network).
So anyways, I really need to get tether working again, I figure something is ****ed up likely with my S3, and I don't have too much time to **** with this, so I figured I'd just ROM it and start over. (Unless someone has some better advice?)
The only thing I really care about is wifi tether. What is a good ROM that you would recommend for me to use to get this back?

It not hardware otherwise your wifi wouldn;t work at all. Verizon keeps closing paths to free tethering. You might want to go modern and install one of the great developer ROMs here that has built in tethering. Synergy, hyperdrive, MORA, etc, others, have working tethering and many other additional features.

2. FAST FAST FAST FAAAAAAAST
3. IN BUILT WIFI TETHERING APP, - I have Unl.Data Plan. So I want to use it, for tethering on my ipad.
4. Please suggest me a Link or a Thread or a Site.
P.S: My Phone is just like, out of hte box when it was first released with Verizon around 2 Years back. No Rooting, No updates or Nothing.
SINCE I ALREAD F'ed up once, I don't want to take the same risk once again. So, kindly need the guidance of the experts, who have been using LATEST GREATEST SUPER FAST ROMS.
I will be using my Verizon Unlimited Data Plan SIM card and my Straight Talk 1 Year T-Mobile SIM Card in this Phone.
With Straight Talk, I will get only 2G speeds. But, thats OK. I will move my Verizon Unl. SIM to my Jetpack, and I get 4G LTE Speeds via Wifi.

We don't do suggestions as some of the immature members of the community will turn it to a debate. I will also add that not all people have the same experience with each ROM.
ok, i just tried the most roms out there for my 3 smartphones (live with walkman, Xperia S and SGS3 LTE I9305 ) and i found this
CM roms is the most clear an good enough to make u live happy and im using it on the live with walkman but; personally i liked the stock in the SGS3 and Xperia because of the camera app .. the stock rom have best camera app and make the camera work better even if u install any app it will have the same bad pics in the CM..
anyways ... thanks for @cyanogen team for there hard work

It's pretty much the same bloatware as any Verizon released Samsung device. There is no root yet.
No root same Bloat as all vzw and Samsung device except now Facebook is not able to be uninistalled it's a system app now
OK thanks for the info. Is anyone having any issues with it? I was trying to wait for the nexus 6 but I got a glimpse of the edge and it really got my attention so I'm going to verizon tomorrow to get one if its in stock.
If you're wanting something to root I would honestly steer you towards the Nexus. It doesn't look like a root for our version will be coming out anytime soon, if at all. I love it like it is for sure though and it is a tough battle if you just want a solid phone.

I got the phone at launch and haven't had any issues with it so far. I had a nexus 6 that I purchased from T-Mobile and was using it on Verizon for a while. I returned it within the return window. Battery life was horrendous, random app crashes, it took a couple of minutes to pick up signal, no multitasking, and no simultaneous voice and data. I'm sure the simultaneous voice and data will be on the Verizon edition since they can push Advanced Calling 1.0 to it. I'm in no way trying to say that you should get the Edge over the Nexus. Just sharing my experience with both phones.

yes, advanced calling does have simultaneous voice/data with advanced calling built in. sucky thing is that if you don't elect for the advanced calling 1.0, you can't use the simultaneous voice/data, despite having that feature on the note 4. i've been through hell recently because advanced calling doesn't work with verizon's caller id app, but in order to have simultaneous voice/data, you HAVE to have the advanced/HD calling. went round and round with tech support about this for an entire day, only to have to factory reset and i'm still in the process of getting things backed up/restored AGAIN. barely had the phone for 4 days, at one point i couldn't even dial out because so many people had messed with my account and reset network settings... but anyways. lesson learned-- the HD calling is free. take advantage of it, and utilize a third party caller id app. (recommendations welcome, btw)
Don't forget the Dev edition is coming as well, if you're buying off contract.
Thanks for the info. I just got it yesterday and so far I'm loving it. I love the multiwindows. It's much better since my S3. I'm sure root will come along sometime. I'd really like to have the mod for using the earpiece as an extra speaker
I picked mine up yesterday on edge.. Ended up adding another line and doing a SIM card swap in order to keep my unlimited data. Now I have an extra phone lol with one gigabyte of data on it. Basically sharing that with my tablet as well which stays coupled to me on my wifi tether. So far I am really liking it and do not seem to need to root. Being I am on an older unlimited plan the tether of course was wanting me to pay but there is an app for that lol wifi tether working strong. As of now no need for root but would always love the option hopefully someone will come along and take this device under their wing. I am having an issue with the CNN side ticker not updating itself just showing it as loading. Everything else seems to be working rock solid and I'm loving the camera. Definitely a different phone if you're looking for something different. I was tired of the same old same old was going to get a g3 but that is basically like my s3 with better specs of course but I opted to stay with Samsung. Brighter screen and I actually kind of like some of the TouchWiz options. Does not seem to be bogged down to bed with bloatware as this thing has three gigs of ram and a super fast processor seems to sale right on through everything. Now we just need someone to start some topics under the Verizon edge section.
