Has anyone gotten wifi tether to work on the leaked Droid 4 ICS builds?

I can't seem to get WiFi Tether to work on ICS build 6.16.206 and was wondering if anyone else is having the same problem.
Thanks

WiFi Tether does not seem to work properly but I am posting this from my Xoom while tethered to D4 using the Mobile Hotspot with the entitlement check removed, so that method does work.
I don't like to use the Mobile Hotspot and prefer the Wifi Tether app, but it looks like it needs tweaking for these builds.

Hmmm. I tried the Mobile Hotspot SQLite hack and that didn't work either. It gets stuck at "Identifying" when I try to connect with my PC. Weird.

Free wifi works using Sqlite
I am using my mobile hotspot to send post this reply. After I watched a video on youtube on how to get wifi on the Bionic using SqLite Editor. I gave it a try and it did work. I don't know what to expect next from Verizon so if you wanna try it TIGHTEN UP YOUR BALLS AND SEAL YOUR BUTT HOLE in case Verizon decides to f* you up or break your balls because I am not responsible for the outcome
HOw to bypass Verizon Mobile Hotspot restriction to use wifi:
1-Purchase and install SqLite Editor over the market
2-Open SqLite, scroll down the list and choose "Settings Storage"(the one with the hammer and wrench)
3-On the next screen select "settings.db"
4-Then choose "settings"
5-Once on the MS-Excel-sheet-looking page, hit the menu button
6-On the pop-up menu select "set filter"
7-In the "Filter value" field type the word "check"
8-Click and hold on the "entitlement_check"
9-"Edit" the value from "1" to "0"
10-Exit the app and reboot
11-Check Mobile Hotspot under your System Settings and you are back onto free wireless tethering
N.B: For those of you, the cheap bastards, please don't try to snatch a refund by trying to uninstall the app within 15 minutes of purchase. Have a bit of decency, will you?!!!

I don't know why this won't work for me. I froze a bunch of stuff with Titanium Backup so I thought one of those may have been the culprit but after unfreezing everything I still can't successfully connect. Grrr.

Maybe that is why. I did it on bone stock. Try to bring everything back to normal then reboot. Once done try the method again.

Wifi Tethering Works Great
I am using the app 'Foxfi' and my Wifi Tethering works absolutely flawlessly.
No freezing, editing, changing, hacking, nada.

Tried foxfi already and it didn't work. Also tried open garden and versions 3.1-12/13/14, 3.2-1 of the wifi tether app. I'm afraid of any side affects that might come from using the Verizon hot spot app. /:

Got foxfi to work by restarting. Lol
Thanks again

Glad it worked! I wonder what Foxfi does (without root, even) that Wifi tether doesn't...

Wired and BT tether work flawlessly.
Wifi is blocked by verizon because i don't pay for it.

I was able to change entitlement_check and now mobile hotspot can be activated, and other devices can connect to the Droid 4, but internet is not shared to this devices. On the previous phones I have to change APN type to "default,dun,supl" in order to enable internet sharing, but I was not able to do this for Droid 4. Any ideas how to fix that?

You can't add dun anymore to the profiles on the ICS leak, please view my thread in order to navigate through SQLite Editor to add a dun entry to a new APN:

Weird, mine blocks me from changing it

I use Droid Bionic method and it works. It's almost the same as Atrix method. Only we need to type check in settings and change entitlement to 0.

Can anyone post the specific app they're using for SQLite and tell my where exactly to go? I tried the method in the OP but couldn't find it. Sorry for the nooby question. I'm a fairly seasoned vet of Android devices, I'm just having trouble with this one. I'm rooted I just can't find the right file path in SQLite Manager.

This is what I had to do to get tethering to work:
Based on what I read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1962752
1. In the settings.db change dun_apn_changeable to 1 (line 122)
2. Create an APN named Tethering and copy all the settings from your provider's APN. Enter ",dun" in the APN Type.
I did not need to make it active.

So now it works on Atrix HD tethering works with T-Mobile? Can we just delete out the AT&T APN and put in epc.tmobile.com or internet2.voicestream.com?
Is that what y'all are doing?

Per OP
- Phone has to be rooted
- entitlement_check changed to 0 (or disabled)
I used aShell and aSQLiteManager, which are free. The file is in data/data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db entitlement_check is line 107 for me.
Apparently it's an APN issue. There's more info in the thread I linked. If I understand it correctly T-Mobile has a hidden APN for tethering. You can either replace it with modified APNs, as suggested in that thread or what I did was change the setting so that the tethering APN can be changed and then create my own. The AT&T APNs aren't used when on the T-Mobile network, so there's no reason to delete them.

Thanks, I know you have to use epc.tmobile.com with T-Mobile network. Just didn't understand the part of using SQ editor to disable the lock.

How to get free mobile hotspot without root

Hi. This post is for those that don't want to root (if you are already rooted you can still follow this) but want hotspot. This method is similar to the LG G3 but some how works on the LG G4 without root.
I made a video. Enjoy.
https://youtu.be/j3Di9d7w1so
It's safe to upgrade to ZVB as long as you do the trick below.
Some good news, a few people have figure out a way to keep the tethering. It requries you to downgrade back to LP (if you are on marshmallow)
(Directions created by Bombillazo, thanks to antonio824
1) On ZV6, used the steps to get to IOT menu to change APN settings.
2) Selected LTE settings > APN settings. Open the App close button (square one on the bottom menu) and check that you have separate instances for the ITO and APN menu. THIS IS CRITICAL DO NO CLEAR THEM OR CLEAR ALL!
3) Applied the MM update (ZV9 and or ZVA).
4) Let the upgrade finish and reboot.
5) When finished press the square button again and go to the APN settings window. You should be able to select the n.ispsn APN again and add dun to APN type. (NOTE: IOT will close if you select it but it doesn't matter. The important one is the APN settings window).
6) Congrats! You have Wifi tethering with MM!
7) Just in case you wanna test like I did, don't close the APN settings window and try to update system stuff to see if it changes the APN settings. I can confirm that updating your profile on the System Updates menu will undo the APN type change.
In MM, you can pin apps to the recents menu so it can't be cleared by "clear all"
Welp, this is the end folks, the new Marshmallow update (ZV9) has patched this trick. Feel free to try it to make sure but as far as I know, it doesn't work. Had a great run!

omfg i love you.

Thanks so much! Now unlimited data has a proper use

Just going to add, if, after enabling tethering, you get a popup saying "Due to network issues, tethering has been disabled, go through the same steps and select cinet.spcs instead of internet in the APN settings.

You are the man. Awesome and easy to do. :laugh::fingers-crossed::laugh:

As far as I can tell this just bypasses the check to see if tethering is enabled on your plan. Can't they still tell that the data traffic is tether traffic? After all it does show up under mobile data as "Tethering and hotspot"

I don't think they even check if the data is coming from tethering or phone use. How do custom roms work? They just enable hotspot without checking same here.

I'm not worried about Sprint monitoring data usage... Normally I hover around 10-15Gb per month usage, with a moderate amount of tethering. But about two years ago, I used a Galaxy Nexus hotspot as my home internet for about 9 months with no issues. Downloading ISOs, streaming, VoIP, etc. Regularly over 100Gb usage, never a peep. Stopped doing it because I got sick of listening to my wife complain about having to restart the phone every few days. In retrospect I should have just put a tasker script on there to reboot it nightly and toggle the hotspot back on.....

APN Settings ghosted/grayed?

I'm trying to change my APN settings on my phone and the settings are ghosted/grayed out and will not allow me to change anything. Also new APN will not save.
Anybody know how to fix this?
Btw... I'm on stock ROM rooted with Franco kernel and T-Mobile is my carrier. Previous phone was a never 5x with same SIM. No problems.

Having the same problem here. T-Mobile support is asking me to change APN settings to troubleshoot network speed, but I'm unable to do so.

Yeah, the default APNs are all grayed out but you can add APN for sure, I did it and it sticks too. see attachment.
When I inserted SIM card, the default APNis the one on top GPRS, I found data speed is slow. So I added one which is US LTE one.

Thanks Lancez. I also tried adding a new one. I tapped save in the menu, but it did not get added to the list. I wonder if it's a bug in the particular build we're on. I'm currently running ONEPLUS A3000_28_170208.

I had also tried to restore default, but it didn't help.
I did just manage to get it to work. I added a new APN with the name "test" and was able to save. I was then able to go in and edit it to match the settings t-mobile had suggested to me.
Unfortunately the new settings did not help with my speed issue.
Thanks again for the help Lancez.

There's another thing, after you edited your APN, go to phone app and dial *#*#4636#*#* > phone info > from the first drop down menu choose LTE/UMTS auto (PRL) > back out of settings > reboot, you should be able to get much better data speed.
And from SIM & network settings, there's Prederred network type, don't select anything in there, leave them all blank. otherwise above settings will be reverted back.
What APN settings did T-mo CS told you? care to share with us? it'll save us sometime over the phone.

I also have two different phones on the account. Which are both getting similar speed results. So seems likely it's got to either be an account or network issue. Though I figured it couldn't hurt to play along and try the updated APN settings to further rule it out.

How to use Hotspot and USB tethering for FREE (Sprint, possibly more)

Go into airplane mode, then come out, directly after hit whichever one you want to do (wifi hotspot/USB tethering) and it should work without problems. I have tried and used both. If you have an easier way, please share!

Go to An settings and add dun to the end of the pan type. Works everytime. Not just Motorola, works on Note8 and V20

"An settings"? "pan type"?
Are these typos we have to decrypt? I don't have anything like this is my Network Settings.

No they don't. Maybe in one of them, but not mine.

If you go to sprint.com you'll see on the front page they include 10 GB of hotspot data. After those 10 gigs I believe it's throttled. I've had this for as long as I can remember.

WARNING about switching to a plan with free 10GB/mounth Mobile Hot Spot: Despite confirming with the Sprint phone jockey that Google Voice carrier integration would still work when I switched from my Everything to a Freedom Unlimited plan; it ended up breaking the integration and "cancelling" my Google Voice account. It took me about five days talking to Google and Sprint; and only after going back to the Everything plan, I was able to get GV working again.

I just acquired a stock Sprint Z2 Force on Oreo 8.0 and the usual Airplane / Quick Hotspot tap fix isn't working like it did on the E5 Plus and Z3 Play, both of which were also running Oreo - the hotspot never activates on the Z2. APN's are all greyed out and locked and there's no way to add another one as of now. I need Hotspot in emergencies only, but I do need it for those occasional situations. Any other workarounds? Thanks!
Update - APN's can be added (not edited or removed) when the phone first reboots, but adding the dun command to the default "internet x.ispsn" APN - under a new APN with all other settings duplicated (as was suggested) - doesn't enable the hotspot as of now.
