Wifi Tether Stealth - Moto X Q&A

Hi I was wondering if I have a Moto X rooted with working wifi tether app (the common one downloaded) but not allowed to tether on my plan, will Verizon detect that I am tethering or are there settings that makes this stealth-like...undetected? What does changing the SSID and enabling encryption do?
..Well forget that cause people tend to answer the last question even 2 or 3 were asked..lol..just human nature... does the app allow your network to not detect youre thethering if not are there settings or other apps that are "stealth" to your provider?

Any carrier can detect it. They are allowed to monitor all traffic on their network.

My answer covered all your questions. As for the app I am not sure as I don't need to tether. It doesn't matter the device. Any carrier can see what your doing on their network.
For the other options, I can't answer as I never used the app.

If you have a Moto X on VZW, there is absolutely no need to worry about hiding tethering. They lost a class action suit some time ago that prevents them from blocking anything on a 4G LTE phone. There are some folks who still have unlimited that abuse this to the tune of 50+ GB/month.

[Q] Wifi tether with the Xoom?

I am disconnecting my Droid 2 where I use wifi tether because i go the xoom. Anyone know if its possible yet to do the same thing with the xoom?
also,
i am curious about the LTE upgrade? you think they will care when doing the upgrade if the phone is rooted. Will there be a way to reverse the rooting?
Turning off Data to keep under 1gig limit
If I am understanding you correctly, you are wanting to use the Xoom on wifi when it's available and not have any chances of the Xoom surfing the net on 3G incurring mb's towards your 1 Gig or whatever plan you elected when buying ?
I simply turned off the data under Settings, "Wireless & Networks" -> "Mobile networks" -> "Data enabled" is then unchecked to turn off. This should accomplish what I think it is you are asking if possible..
Can anyone tell me how to keep track of Verizon's running tally of the MB's used to date in billing cycle ? I am scared to death to run into overage of my 1 GIG monthly plan. Verizon rep told me it is sinfully expensive per mb if you do..
On the Verizon setup page, it is $20/GB overage on the 1GB plan, and $10/GB overage on the 3GB and up plans.
Verizon's lower end data plans aren't too bad, but their 10GB for $80 is pretty insanely expensive.
I think you guys are misunderstood what the OP is asking about, I think he asks if it's possible for the xoom to have a native wifi tether that enables it to become a WiFi hotspot just like the option we have on Froyo, I'd like to know that too.

The setting for it is in the same place as on froyo, although I haven't activated service through verizon to see if it can become a hotspot (tethered to my nexus s). The option is there though so if anyone that has a data plan can try then we can confirm.
i was talking about using this
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
I have always been able house this on my droid 2 but was wondering if its going to be possible with a rooted xoom. Does anyone know?

Not sure they'd even check, seems obtrusive and unethical. I'll be encrypting my Xoom before I send it in.
We are going to see all of the services we enjoy on say, The HTC Incredible come to the Xoom in a Custom Rom.
Many root apps you can run now.
The challenge with Tethering is that it requires hooks in the Kernel that might not be in place, or if they are, might be different then what was in Android 2.2 or 2.3 stock ROMS.
The Xoom is the first device to release with Honeycomb, so we are going to have to hold tight, and wait for someone to update things like WiFi tethering Kernels and the app to match Honeycomb,
No need for wifi tether on the Xoom. Honeycomb comes with mobile hotspot built in and verizon does not charge extra to use hotspot on tablets. The usage just comes out of your monthly plan.

Best Wifi Tether WITH root option?

So I've been a longtime foxfi -> PDANet user and ever since 4.3 dropped I've lived without tether. It wasn't THAT big a deal for me since I tether in emergency situations only and they don't come up often but now that I'm on the S5 and root has dropped I realized it's time to get tethering as a backup working.
So my question is what's the current best wifi tether option for the S5 if you've rooted it? I don't mind paying for an app if there's no free version that does the same thing or just to support a good developer. I've found things like wifi tether:
https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
but every one I've found seems old and hasn't been updated in quite a long time.
Any feedback much appreciated.

Grandfathered unlimited with no option to use the built-in Mobile Hotspot without giving up the unlimited. I use MAYBE 500MB-1GB tethering a month and I'm not willing to give up unlimited for the ability to tether those rares times especially since pulling into the parking lot of a starbucks has worked for those emergencies in the last few months.

That WiFi tether is OK to use. The core system has not been updated in a while, but if you look into the project a little deeper, you will find that the S4 just received it's own configuration into the tether.
With the S5 recently obtaining root, I'm sure the configuration will be patched in soon.
I am using 3.4pre1 (experimental). There are only two issues I came across.
1) The Logging portion fails.
2) If you are connected to a wifi hotspot, then start wifi tether, you will loose the configuration for that specific SSID. Don't worry, though, as a reboot will fix this.
Also, I use the S4 device profile. It seems there is somewhat smoother operations with this.

I just tried that and it didn't seem to work for me. I got impatient and just bought Wifi Tether Router 6 (that $25 google play credit makes it hard to be patient). It seems to work but I had some issues when I was connected to Wifi when I started to initiate the tether and actually if I was even in a place where I had a signal for a saved wifi. Forgetting the wifi networks in my house and it worked which I guess is ok since I wouldn't ever be using it someplace where I had another Wifi to connect to.
But I wouldn't mind figuring out how to use wanam xposed to do it, if there's a way to.

Yes it does seem to. Allows me to use native app, doesn't mess up wifi if connected already. I think I'll use this method. I'll just eat the $2.50 for wifi tether router I guess.

FoxFi (paid version) is working fine on my N4. So is the proxy add-on.
My only question is How do I hide the hot spot activity from TMo? I have the top plan which includes 5gb of tethering data.
How do I test this and fix if necessary?

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.

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.

tether

Hi maybe this is not an appropriate question but now that i am on cm12 xt1053 is their any way to tether without bandwidth usage limitations and the provider not knowing it is being done. Again my apologies iff this question is against any forum rules etc.
Most every rom I've seen has removed the "tether provisioning something-something" which is supposed to check if you have a tethering plan. That way they'd never know you are tethering. However it will absolutely use your data as if your phone was consuming it all itself.

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?

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.

Now you can just load the 935U firmware on our phone and the wifi tethering isn't blocked for unlimited users.
I have the same issue "I get this other message: "Mobile hotspot is unavailable. To enable mobile hotspot on this device, go to att.com/mywireless or dail 611."
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.
