It's there a way to use tethering without AT&T notice the usage. I know that is related to how the data package are processed by the phone and the size. I always use the USB thering. My wife use the Wi-fi thetering and she don't receive any notification.
Help, they want to change my plan to the 4gb, because that's the only plan that the customers can use thetering.

I am sure they have pitfalls in place that will flag if a user crosses X ammt of data usage. no telling what those are but I ahve been using various tether apps for a while and never flagged. on Sprint I used Tetherberry with my blackberry. this was a USB tether. I am now using a wifi tether app (cannot post link cause of my noob status) and I like this one. allows me to do wpa/Psk or to do access control with unsecured network. will be fun to use on for my tablet in the airports. but on teh code.android site it is android-wifi-tether.
I recommend this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17697118
Thanks

No problem.
Hello
I had PDANet+ on my phone but then I had to do a complete factory restore.
Any, PDANet+ does not work now.
What is another Tethering app.
My S4 is rooted.
Thanks.
I would also like to know what WiFi tethering apps are working because the app I used on my HTC isn't working and all others I try all day they started with errors and nobody can connect.

Im running HoloBlur Preformance and when I use my phone with wifi tether the internet doesn't work,wether its a laptop,tablet or PS3. Cant figure out what the deal is. I looked all over the forums and I didn't see anything. Any Ideas?
You need to have ",dun" added in you APN type.
You also need to change dun_apn_changeable to 1 in settings.db.
See the tethering thread.
OK switched to LiguidSmooth. Its running beast,but this time Hotspot is just erroring out and not starting.I tried doing the same thing as before, but its CM Based so it doesn't have the com.Motorola.android references. So I tried adding under com.android.provider area but still doesn't work. Anyone have any ideas?

Ok so I'm running a Rom that has the native Wi-Fi tether enabled but as soon as a device connects the signal drops (meaning I loose data on the phone)
I've noticed many many people after updating to kitkat having the same problem but no one has a solution.
Has anyone found a workaround to get Wi-Fi tether working again?
I'm using a sense based rom. Not sure if aosp rom would fix this issue.

+1. I have been searching for a fix myself. The 4g and native tether do not work well together, at least with me. I've tried the patch on stock roms as well with the same results. I connect just fine, but then seconds later the data will drop. I have good 4g coverage and without the hotspot active, the connection will never drop. If I switch to cdma only there are no drops while tethering. I have been testing different scenarios to find a solution, but no success yet. I also have not found any mention of the problem on the cm threads, but I prefer sense and have not tested. It makes me wonder if the sprint proxies are causing this. I am tethering a window device.

Just curious...do you have a hotspot plan with Sprint?
I am having the same problem with the stock OTA and and using the hotspot hacks since I don't have a hotspot plan. It would be interesting to know if those with a hotspot plan (for which the native app should work unhacked) have the 4G problem too...

Good question. No I do not have the hotspot plan. Never have needed it with the fix prior to kk. I'm not abusive of it, but I simply hate the fact that 4g now doesn't work very well with tethering. Seems to be a hit or miss with everyone. Mine will connect, load a few pages then out of nowhere the connection drops. Go cdma only and it works as should. I'm hoping a few of these threads will gather some attention and help us find a solution for everyone.

Been testing some CM builds of Kit Kat. I have been running CM11 build modded by IrocEvo the last few days. I have had zero issues with any type of tethering. 4G tethering works as should with no disconnects. I'm not sure what the difference is in the scripts for the mods, but possibly someone could assist here. For now, ill be keeping a backup of this build specifically for tethering purposes.
I don't have hot spot on my plan, but I'm trying the new ecliptic rom with sense six, just haven't been able to try4g tether today...been to busy building an engine :/ hopefully try tomorrow
After some further testing on the CDMA+LTE mode, I was able to determine that I could successfully tether my android tablet and samsung smart TV with no interruptions. The problems begin while using this mode (rather than CDMA only) and tethering my laptop. It appears while using this radio mode sprint sniffs the packets for user agent data and once determined its a windows device the connection is interrupted. My question is, why would this happen on this radio mode only? Are the APN settings different for this mode and can those be changed. Sorry to keep beating the horse, but I would like to find a solution rather than running a VPN to tether my windows 8.1 laptop. Any ideas? Thanks everyone.

Do you use chrome or IE? When I use chrome all is fine, when I start using IE I get the drops. I'm using a MS Surface Pro on Win8.1. Strange, but I think I have pinned it down.
Why would you choose to use internet explorer?

Honestly I use both chrome and ie...my work stuff and chrome don't agree...but I use chrome for just about everything else
I've looked into this before and the common response I would find is that it has to do with the Hotspot apk in Sense. There was some sort of change when moving from JB 4.2 to 4.3.
I've since moved to the Google edition rom and everything works there ?

+1. I have had no issues with wifi tethering on the CM builds here as well. Made a nandroid of a CM setup that I use when needed. Wish we could determine the difference. Thanks for the GE tip.

I'm on the M developer preview with the stock m kernel. And radio. I have the settings option and have reset my APN. Also, i have no service down in the caves, so i know it has to use Wi-Fi. Not sure where to go from here. Had same problem on sinless ROM. Thanks.

I am having the same problem on 5.1.1. I know Wifi Calling works because I seen it turn on at the hospital but at home nothing. I'm currently trying to tinker with my router to see if anything is causing it to fail or not. There is talk of opening up TCP and UDP ports on your router and disabling SIP ALG on your router. Seems to work for some and not for others. I am one of those others where its not working so far.

I thought it has been reported to be working on the Google M preview with T-Mobile. Did you do full wipe and format user data?
I am fairly confident it depends on your router settings because Wifi Calling works great when I was at a fast food joint today that offered free wifi with a username and password.
When I 1st upgraded to 5.1.1 everything seemed to work, now I can't get wifi calling to come on. Using at home with same router....it stopped working for me 100%
I finally got it working today. After reading the internet I needed to enable IPsec pass through and SIP pass through in my Asus RT-N65u router. I also setup QoS for the various ports that T-Mobile and it finally works. Took me a full week to figure it out.
