[Q] Is Verizon Blocking Bluetooth Data Sharing?

Hey Other Glass Explorers,
Just wanted to check and see if anyone has found a way around verizon blocking bluetooth data sharing unless you have a tethering plan. Out of the research I've done so far supposedly google built a work around into the MyGlass app (the icon shows up and down arrows) but I still get not data connection when only connected to bluetooth. I thinking my option at this point is to root and say "Forget you Verizon, I'll do what I want with my data". Has anyone else noticed this?

Gary -
I can confirm that Verizon was blocking my bluetooth tether. I'm on a grandfathered unlimited data plan. Once I rooted, and went to a custom ROM, I'm happy to report that bluetooth data tethering is fully operational.
Cheers...

[TUT][ROOT] AT&T Wifi-Tethering Provision Bypass

DISCLAIMER: This is my first thread on XDA, so hopefully I'm not posting in the wrong place/format/context/whatever. If I am, sorry.
For those of you with AT&T plans that don't include Tethering, I came across a simple way to bypass this with root and allow you to run the built in tethering instead of having to use FoxFi.
What you'll need:
Xposed Framework
X Tether Module (Xposed Module)
Root (towelroot method)
Titanium Backup
Root Explorer/ES File Explorer
Step 1:
Install Xposed Framework.
Once installed, launch Xposed Installer, go to Downloads and search for X Tether
Install X Tether, Activate the Module, and reboot.
Step 2:
Open Titanium Backup and find TetheringProvision 4.06.72
Press the App and select 'Freeze !'
Step 3:
Open Root Explorer and navigate to:
/system/app/
Now rename TetheringProvision.apk and TetheringProvision.odex
to TetheringProvision.apk.bak and TetheringProvision.odex.bak
Step 4:
Reboot, Set up Hotspot and Enjoy!

Tried this, when I attempt to activate the HotSpot it says "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped."
After following the updated instructions, my hotspot appears to be working. Thank you!

Yea, that looked too easy. Usually you would swap the tethering provision files with hacked ones.

I see you changed the instructions in the thread. That just renaming the file like you suggested earlier, well AT&T caught on to that, and now that doesn't work anymore.

Hi shortydoggg,
You're right, I left out the most important part, the Xposed Module.
X Tether (or Moto Tether) is what actually clears out the array that stores the provision varification data (config_mobile_hotspot_provision_app)
Just running this module didn't work for me at first but after renaming the Tether Provisioning files it worked fine.
I also had trouble renaming the files until I froze the Tether Provisioning apk file.
I just ran another test and the built in wifi hotspot is still working great with my 3GB monthly plan.

Works awesome!!!!
BTW, I have the Grandfathered Unlimited Data Plan.
Thanks!

Did this yesterday, worked fine. THANKS!
Also another grandfathered unlimited plan here; they provisioned the plan on my new GS5 but couldn't enable tethering. This solves that!! Awesome!!

Open the Xposed network on your phone and check that the tethering module is activated, and that the xposed network actually installed. You may need to do another step (hint)

Wifi tether speed
I was able to allow mobile hot spot on my Att S5 using the S4 method of replacing the tetherprovision.apk, problem is the speed of the devices connected is terrible. Fine for checking email on one device but not for streaming netflix on multiple like I need. Anyone know of a way to change this? Is it some config file that is set purposely to limit tethered devices?

Note 3 4.4.2
works, thanks

having trouble with the settings also

They shouldn't notice. I've been tethering on my s2 for years without any issues.
Some developers will say it is technically possible. If your concerned, a VPN service will hide all of your online habits from Tmobile.
I have a subscription through PrivateInternetAccess, I havent hand any issues with their app.

It works!!! I'm also on the grandfathered unlimited plan!

Note 3 AT&T on T-Mobile, never used hotspot before
A few questions -
1. Phone gets hot when hotspot is on. Is that normal?
2. Connection drops from time to time. IPv6 connectivity shows "no internet access", but then works without me doing anything. Is that T-Mobile's fault?
3. When I received a call the icon changed from LTE to 4g, but while hotspot is on and pc connected, the signal never changed back to LTE. Is that how it supposed to be? I have to turn hotspot off and on after every phone call to get LTE back? Or is that T-Mobile not being happy (I have not used the 3gb hotspot limit on my unlimited data plan)
Thanks

Hi, first off a major thanks to OP for posting an excellent tutorial on how to do this. I was really hoping to get tethering enabled on my grandfather unlimited data plan before vacation and am so excited to not have to pay $15 a day for WiFi.
I've been having a lot of lag with the phone lately. Its very slow to respond to typing, switching apps, and even waking and putting to sleep takes 5-10 seconds longer than normal. Any suggestions? I followed all of the directions to the letter and aside from this massive amount of lag, everything is perfect.

Hey Nikon,
Hopefully someone with a little more knowledge on the subject can help out but here are my thoughts.
1. My s2 always got hot while tethering for long periods of time and my s5 seems to do the same as well.
This is normal and caused by the 4G antenna and WiFi antenna running simultaneously.
2. Perhaps IPv6 is not working but IPv4 is? I'm seeing the same thing on my AT&T connection.
3. I never had this issue. You might want to double check your APN settings, it could be a t-mobile thing but I really don't think they're targeting people who tether, it sounds more like the connection can't re-establish after connecting to a phone call.

Hey RSCTurner20,
I haven't notice any lag since doing this, does the lag go away if you turn off the X Tether Module and reboot?
edit: most likely cause and a quick fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784945

that's right - if you get a call or access phone settings while client is connected phone cannot re-establish lte connection.
I know when you get a call (hotspot off) on Nexus 5 it takes anywhere from 15 seconds to up to 5 minutes to get lte back
Is there a way to force phone to refresh frequencies?

When I said "working" I meant it's producing a wifi signal. I have no idea which part of the plan it's pulling data through.
That's why I asked how I test (hotspot or data plan) and fix it.

correction:
FoxFi is NOT working to divert data from hotspot to data plan.
Even using the proxy feature, it still shows up as tethering in the My Account app.
It seems all FoxFi does is turn on the Tmo hotspot app.

Updated thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2914057

So wifi won't work, but could anyone please verify that the Note 4 can at least be USB tethered to a PC with FoxFi and use T-Mobile mobile data, instead of tether data? I've searched all over and saw no one specifically verifying this with TMO, even though FoxFi generally says it's possible. I don't have a Note 4 or TMO yet to test myself, and prefer to stay unrooted so all the other options I've seen wouldn't fly. I'd probably barely go over 20GB in a month.
If USB tethering does properly hide it as mobile data, I wonder if it'd be possible to USB into a wifi router. I saw someone on Reddit doing that, but it wasn't a Note 4 and there was no specific hiding of tethering as it just used android's baked in tethering.
I've never used FoxFi before so if anyone could help with the following questions I'd appreciate it too:
1. If I have to use USB to PC, could I still use my phone for calls/texting/etc at the same time? Same question if FoxFi WiFi was eventually supported for N4?
2. While USB tethered to PC would my phone also be charging?
3. If I can USB into my PC, could I create WiFi from there in some way?
Thank you for any help!

Just coming back to update that yes you can use FoxFi to USB tether to your PC and have the internet useage be recognized as mobile data. Just need to put PDAnet on your PC. It does charge the phone at the same time, though extremely slow compared to fast charging. I've texted at the same time and used my phone in other ways as well.

At&t US mobile hotspot glitch

I just got a new SAMSUNG-SM-G935A
I've been looking for ways to get the mobile hotspot active due to me having unlimited data on AT&T ( US ). To no prevail just like everyone I realize that at&t has block almost every possible way to use the mobile hotspot with unlimited data and it looks like a decent reliable root is going to keep changing as exploits are closed.
But....
I stumbled on this glich so I had to share.
1. Turn your wifi on your S7 edge
2. Connect to a WiFi ( doesn't matter if it has Internet access or not )
3. Once connected Turn on your mobile hotspot
4. Now connect the device your wanting to use. ( I used my Xbox ) ( I had to go into my network setting on my Xbox and configure a new connection)
5. Let the device run what ever tests it needs to run. ( I got an error msg stating that I was connected to the internet but connectivity may be interrupted and that Xbox live services maybe slow on multiplayer games)
Just hit ok
6. Now once you've connected, go to " mobile hotspot and tethering " click on "Mobile Hotspot" then in the top right hand corner click on "more". In the pull down menu click WiFi sharing click " WiFi Sharing Off "
7. Don't clear any notifications, And don't click the set up device.
Just hit the home button and enjoy your device connected thru your At&t SAMSUNG-SM-G935A on unlimited data.
Hope this helps.

Just remember att has technologies to sense this. After a month or so, you will receive an email notifying you of violating your terms of agreement, effectively booting you off unlimited if you continue on. This happens because you violate that agreement and not you or them are bound.

Have you used PDAnet/Foxfi? They're a little expensive but worked on my S6, and they supposedly try to hide the fact that you're tethering.. at&t will always know based on deep packet inspection & TTL hops, but I have a feeling they stopped the 'tetherer witch hunt' now that so many people are on mobile share

What does a VPN have to do with the amount of data your using? VPN will create a secure connection, but it won't make your data usage magically disappear.

Because the tech they use to tell you are tethering is packet sniffing. If you mask the data, you can tether until your heart is content or you run out of data. I said nothing about amount of data being used, only to mask that your computer is using it and not your phone. The concern was being booted off for tethering on an unlimited data plan. Using a VPN on each client machine will prevent them from knowing you are tethering. They will not boot you off the network for using lots of data.

Hi:
I have an AT&T Galaxy S7 Edge. Once I turn on Wifi and connect to any network, as per your instructions, I go to mobile hotspot to turn it on but I get a message saying: "Mobile Hotspot will turn off Wifi, hit cancel or ok." Then after wifi turns off I get this other message: "Mobile hotspot is unavailable. To enable mobile hotspot on this device, go to att.com/mywireless or dail 611."
And It won't let me continue.

Why does the we need to turn the sharing on, then off? Will it allow multiple devices to connect? Will it timeout and turn off?
Thanks,

I have the unlimited plan also, but I previously had a mobile share plan, which had a hotspot on the plan so I had to put it on a totally separate plan from my phones with unlimited data.
I remember years ago, AT&T required you to pay an additional fee in be able to use your phone as a hotspot. Since I wanted to use my phone as a hotspot, but didn't use it enough to justify an extra fee, I found an app called FoxFi, which allowed me to override AT&T's rules and turn my phone into a hotspot without having AT&T enable the hotspot feature and without having to pay an additional fee. I'm not sure if this app still works, but it might be worth looking into.

My phone was an AT&T phone. I bought online unlocked. I have taken it to Nigera and lived there 6 months. Now my husband is here he has the same phone Samsung Note 4 and I connect to his hotspot since we have no internet. However my phone when I try to tun on mobile hotspot no can do.
I have taken to my carrier CRICKET they are at a loss. So is all lost I can't get mobile hotspot? I so can;t afford a new phone and need mobile botspot when hubby isn't home.

Well, that is just the beginning of not so nice things within the new plan. The new plan is really about throttling users after a small amount of data. Unlimited, just not unlimited high speed. Which is the reason I stayed with my old plan.

T-Mobile One is unlimited data, no buckets, so you're gonna use up infinity data at full quality with your proposal

My guess is you could root and probably use a 3rd party app to tether at LTE speeds. I've been wondering the same thing myself so I'm following to see what everybody else says lol

I have tried WiFi Tether Router by Fabio Grasso, but it doesn't help. Tried all different settings/methods combinations. Still tethers at the same speeds as Android native tethering.
I also tried changing User Agent string on my tablet and laptop to clone my Nexus 6's string but still not helping.
I did use to tether heavily, many months of around 300 GBs of data with this app "Wifi Tether Router". It's perfect for bypassing quotas, but so far not working for throttling.
Interesting fact: T-Mobile is letting speedtest.net traffic through without throttling, so if you run it, you'll notice it shows LTE speeds. However, if you run any other test like speedof.me (which is my favorite!) you'll be throttled.
I'll keep you guys posted when I figure it our. Shouldn't take long.

You can download "WiFi Tether Router" in the Playstore, if you're rooted, it gives you unlimited tethering.

I have tried WiFi Tether Router by Fabio Grasso, but it doesn't help. Tried all different settings/methods combinations. Still tethers at the same speeds as Android native tethering.
I also tried changing User Agent string on my tablet and laptop to clone my Nexus 6's string but still not helping.
I did use to tether heavily, many months of around 300 GBs of data with this app "Wifi Tether Router". It's perfect for bypassing quotas, but so far not working for throttling.
Interesting fact: T-Mobile is letting speedtest.net traffic through without throttling, so if you run it, you'll notice it shows LTE speeds. However, if you run any other test like speedof.me (which is my favorite!) you'll be throttled.
I'll keep you guys posted when I figure it our. Shouldn't take long.

You have to edit build.prop file. You can do that easily by downloading the app called "BuildProp Editor" in the Playstore. Then look for the string called "net.tethering.noprovisioning" and set it to true. then it should be working no problem.

Any solution yet to this???

Found a kinda solution. I downloaded foxfi and the key (if you need the key I can send you the link) and turned it on and chose "run proxy" then connect your laptop, PlayStation, Xbox etc to the proxy and it will tether more than 500kbps I'm using my hotspot to watch Netflix on my PlayStation right now and there's hardly any buffer time so it's working for me.

Method 1 – Dun = 0 [Android Only]
Requirements: Windows PC, USB cable
Download the ADB and Fastboot installer from XDA-developers. Select Yes when prompted by installation options (install ADB and fastboot, install system-wide, and install drivers).
Enable USB Debugging on your phone/tablet.
Connect your phone to your computer via USB cable.
Open up the command prompt.
Click Start, in the search Type in cmd. Next, Click on the program cmd (or Command Prompt).
Type “adb shell” and press enter.
Don’t type the quotation marks “”, just the text inside them!
Type “settings put global tether_dun_required 0” and press enter.
Note: If you see “error: device not found” it is usually because A) you need to update your phone USB drivers on your PC or B) your USB cable isn’t capable of transmitting data because it is only designed to charge the phone or C) USB Debugging isn’t enabled.

- Got this from Groovypost.com ... It also says you can change your TTL setting in the registry to 65 and that also works...

Do you still get throttled to 128kbs or whatever?
