Foxfi works fine for me. When you get the pop up telling you to contact att press the home button instead of tapping ok. The hot spot stays active this way

It stays active but did you actually connect to it and surf the Internet?

Foxfi doesn't work on and it connects but surfing the Internet is a no go we need an alternative.

Yea with a grandfathered unlimited plan so an actual tethering plan from at&t isn't offered to me. I'd be more than happy to pay the small fee if it were even offered though...

Yesterday I tried feverishly to get foxfi to work with no luck even doing it exactly as op had done. So now I see this thread and figure okay ill try again.... and guess what.... it worked... The only thing I can think of that I didn't do yesterday is I rebooted the phone this morning. ..

I use EasyTether and it works great for my needs.
You have to enable USB Debugging mode in order for it to work. I had a heck of a time finding it, so here is a quick howto...
From home, press "Apps" menu, press "Settings", press "General" tab, press "About Device", press "Build number" seven consecutive times and you should get messages about having "Developer Mode" being turned on. That's it!
Hit back and you should now see a new "Developer options" selection in the menu. Press "Developer options" and just check mark "USB debugging" if you want to enable it.

Does EasyTether support wi-fi tethering or mobile hotspot?
$.01 via NOTE 3

No, only USB and Bluetooth... I haven't found a non-root solution for WiFi yet.
You can Bluetooth tether it to another android device/tablet...

FWIW, Foxfi is working on my AT&T GN3. As others have said, just hit the home button when the popup appears. Also, I've noticed when connecting with my laptop, full internet isn't available for the first 30 seconds or so, so just give it time...

Subscribed for Samsung Wifi HotSpot Option = )

yep confirmed working with foxfi, the thing is I always need to setup the password everytime I activate the foxfi to work the secured wpa2

Confirmed working with FoxFi without issues with password with everything saving.

Do you need root to use Foxfi for tethering? This is to use the note 3 as a hotspot right?....meaning that I am connecting my other tablets to the note 3 and using its lte data?

Did you guys try any tethering widget?? for AT&T Galaxy S4 wifi tethering doesn't work directly but if you install any tethering app it will work.
Here is the one I've tried from Play store and its free.
'Tethering Widget' by HI-DEVELOP
Install the app and look for 'Tethering (full)' .
once you add this widget click thering widget(make sure you click the Wifi icon not the USB icon'.
This should enable wifi tethering.
Let me know if it works or not..

Now that we have root, can we just freeze tetheringProvsion under titanium backup & use the native app?

I had the problem too. Needed to factory reset, not restore anything, and the wifi tether for root app was working again.
Needs specific settings though. I'll share tomorrow sometime if someone else doesn't first. It's easier to paste from the pc.

They got the native working cuz they can't use the WiFi tether app.
We got a modified WiFi tether app to use.

Wifi direct is not enabled - from HTC support

I asked how to use wifi direct. Here's their response:
" I understand your concern on the WiFi direct file transfer and the icons on the status bar. Currently the Wi-Fi direct function is not available, but will be enabled in a future upgrade. Until the update is available, you are still able to share files using Bluetooth."

I've been able to use Superbeam without a WiFi connection, but it was a bit slower. Just answer "no" to the question about being on the same WiFi network.

Wifi tethering

I rooted my at&t note 3 with kingoroot. My question is: if I freeze tethering provisions in titanium backup can they (at&t) detect I'm using my tethering?

There are SOOO many ways a carrier can tell what and where your data is going. Freezing the tethering provisions will enable the tethering feature on your phone. It will not hide your data from your carrier.
I have unlimited data on my attention account so as long as they can't see I'm tethering I'm good.

If your provider see more traffic going through your connection than the phone alone would normally generate then they will assume you are tethering and change your plan and bill you accordingly.
I have hit 16 gigs before. With out root.

Like we said, IF your provider checks. Many are cracking down on data leeches as it is costing them bandwidth that is not being paid for. AT&T comes to mind as they have even announced they will start doing it as of last month or so.
Thanks for all your help guys

If you read the null tutorial or install null it lets you tether using a third party app like PDAnet, or you can flash a different ROM on your phone. Either way you're probably going to need root.
Install the null ROM which allows you to connect via bluetooth to your phone and download apps you can use to tether. If your carrier is blocking tethering, u se an app called Easy Tether for the phone and Easy Tether Tablet for the gear - just make sure you go to settings/Network Spoofing and set wifi spoofing

How do you set the wifi spoof on the gear? So basically download easy tether for my phone and easy tether tablet for the galaxy gear and I will be able to bluetooth tether?

on the null rom, go to settings, scroll down and you will see "Network Spoofer" select wifi

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I527 using xda app-developers app
yes you need to install them either via wondershare or adb. Wondershare is the easier route
install the software on your pc, connect the gear via USB then the software will have options to the play store and search for the apps. An alternative is to search for the apk using your pc (i.e. EasyTether.apk) then downoad them to the pc. In wondershare, click on the Files/SDCARD then DWONLOAD directory, then click ADD, point it to the apk files you just downloaded than once it uploads, use wondershare and double click on the file name and it should install it one the gear

How to enable bluetooth tether on Stock-ROM?

I know that installing custom-ROM (ie. null) enables bluetooth tether.
But for some reason, I prefer to stay in stock-ROM and I want to use bluetooth tether by modding system(or...3rd-party app?).
Q. How can I enable bluetooth tether on stock-ROM(rooted)?
(Kernel? Binary? Library? Framework?)

You need to add the Bluetooth internet profile

So...How can I add it?
I'm using Google Nexus 5 and I don't have any tethering restriction on phone.
Adding full-settings app on system app doesn't work. It show the checkbox for bluetooth internet, but its not working.
