Does it matter that the video is for an S4 and that this is the forum for the S4 Active?

I am using my AT&T Galaxy S5 (SM-G900A) on T-Mobile Network. It is working just fine but the only feature that I can not make work is Mobile HotSpot or Tethering. I get Mobile Data is not available or invalid SIM. Can someone advise please.

just follow the link then read and watch the video before you do anything and of course your phone has to be rooted. I tried it on my at&t s4 and it works just fine. http://highonandroid.com/android-ap...n-rooted-android-att-t-mobile-sprint-verizon/
Thanks ROMEOH
Your instructions worked like a charm. Thanks a lot.
It was discovered that the FoxFi app works with the Verizon Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge variants. This is pretty big news as verizon has been able to block these apps on other devices. FoxFi uses a bit of trickery with VPN in the background to get wifi tether working without the subscription!

DO not need 2 threads of the same thing
So ..............THREAD CLOSED ..................
DirecTV customer who can come to AT&T for $140/mo, 2-lines Unlimited Everything. Fine print gotcha is no tether/hotspot.
Is there a work-around since I guess my rooting days are over with this phone?
Thanks.
if you have root you can flash the hotspot hack and this will get your hotspot to work, now if you dont have root.
what i did was download clockworkmod app on your galaxy s6 from play store and then follow the instructions it gives you to tether to your computer.
if you need detailed info i have it, i just wrote down some basic stuff to not waste my time
I don't think the S6 is rootable anymore?
Bumping this as I'm thinking about jumping on the unlimited data deal and getting an S6 edge during the BOGO free deal coming up. Any update OP?

unlikely that any newly purchased device will still come with rootable firmware.

I just got a new S6 (SM-G920T), 5.1.1, COK1.
I've been using my S4 with WifiTether app (rooted) to hotspot/bypass tethering limits. Does anyone have experience doing something similar with the S6? If so, do you have any suggestions for ROM? Is Wifi speed a problem, or any functionality issues with rooted S6? I won't upgrade to the S6 and root if getting the wifi to work is an issue.
A different post suggested this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...nt/rom-sow-nice-rom-v1-0-oi1-tweaked-t3229591
Is it still the way to go?
Buy yourself some Internet, it's safer.

Unfortunately I dont have a high speed internet option (rural area). I use slightly over the tether limit each month.
I'd just like to know if I can root/tether S6 in the same way as S4 without any surprises before I risk tripping Knox on my new phone.

Looking at link to rom you posted in op it looks like they have a working native Hotspot but it entails rooting and flashing the rom, if thats what you want to do; go for it.
There is no way of running a tether hack without root.
I'm thinking your S4 is rooted w/tether hack and you haven't rooted your S6.
Don't think there is anyway of not tripping knox at present, and the deknoxed feature of the rom is probably a build.prop change to not display tripped Knox on screen.

Can the T817T T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 be used as a Smartphone?
I'm trying to minimize what I carry between Tablets, Laptops, and Smartphones.
If I can just get away with the T817T T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 ,
Since it already has built-in LTE and SIM card... Why Not?
http://www.t-mobile.com/internet-devices/samsung-galaxy-tab-s2.html
I hope it's possible!
Well it dosent have an integrated earpiece. But I assume if you use a sim with a voice plan and bluetooth or wired headset I dont see why not.

Just got a T_Mobile version of the tab today with the hopes of giving it to grandad to use as a phone.
Sadly, voice functionality does not exist on the tablet. I installed a few dialers and attempted to make a call, as well as attempting to receive a call, and no dice. The current ROM must be compiled without the telephony libraries required for making calls, as the hardware should be perfectly capable.

Google voice works via wifi, if that's any help.

I had heard rumors in that some XDA members had hacked the S2 to actually work as a Phone considering it does have all the hardware.
I use to have the first Galaxy 7 Tab in which I flashed a ROM to that very thing... used it as a Big Phone with Bluetooth earpiece.
But I cannot find anything on the S2 to accomplish that feat...
Seems like it should have that functionality but no such luck. I've made/received calls via Hangouts Dialer occasionally... works just like a regular phone/dialer would IME. I probably use it most often to call my own phone when I'm at home and can't remember where the heck I left that thing
So in essence if one wants voice dialling then they need to buy the SM-T819 internation model? Which does not have band 12?
