WiFi tethering?

Does it work out of the box for grandfathered unlimited plans? Hoping it might since this is supposedly vanilla android...

Tethering and hotspot options are both available on my phone with the standard 3GB data cap, so I would assume that its available on the unlimited plan as well.

Thanks. Do you have a family share plan or an individual plan? The family share plans apparently include tethering.

It is an individual plan which doesn't include tethering, but the feature is still available.

Didn't work for me I haven't unlocked on HTC dev yet but I don't imagine that will change anything.
Are you on LTE?

Hmm, I just now tried it, and I get the same message. Guess we'll need to wait for a third-party ROM like CM10 before this is an option...

Have any of you tried FoxFi? Its in the Play store, and it's free. There is also PDAnet as well.

Anybody that is rooted get WiFi tethering to work yet? Barnacle or WiFi tether for root users or something like that?

I'm also having the same problem with wifi hotspot (tethering). Unlocked my phone (originally locked with AT&T) and anytime I click to enable Portable wifi hotspot I get "There is a temporary problem that prevents the enablement of the Mobile Hotspot function. Please retry later."
I've also tried installing FoxFi to see if I could tether that way - no luck. I get the same error message as above.
Any one have any solutions?

Solved! Alright, so I rooted the phone using the HTC First All In One found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2242639
Once the phone was rooted, I downloaded an app on Google Play called "WiFi Tether" (do not download FoxFi, it doesn't work). The "WiFi Tether" app works ONLY for rooted phones.
Now I can finally tether!

What settings did you use with Wifi Tether for root users? I'm having trouble getting it to work with my rooted HTC First.

I opened up Wifi Tether, went to "Settings", then changed my Device-Profile to "Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)". Hope it helps!

That's not working for me maybe because I only used moonshine?
I scoured the interwebs and found these solutions...
These ways will work for people who can't still can't get their hotspot working:
Stock roms seem to whitelist the apns that can use their tether, so either
1. Insert entitled {yourCarrierAPN} into /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db with sqlite editor:
Old Instructions:
1. Use a rooted filemanager (e.g. ES File Explorer) to backup the Telephony Database (/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db) to a safe place (e.g. /sdcard/).
2. Download SQLite Installer for Root from the Market and open the app and install SQLite3
3. Open an adb shell
4. Type the following command in to open the telephony database:
su -c sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
5. This should have opened sqlite3. If it did then type the following command in to update the database:
INSERT INTO carriers (name, numeric, mcc, mnc, apn, authtype, type, insert_by, state, protocol, roaming_protocol, carrier_enabled, bearer) VALUES ("Entitlement","302720","302","720","ltemobile.apn ","-1","entitle","internal","hidden","IP","IP","1","0" );
6. To confirm that this has been applied you can type the following:
select * from carriers;
This should list all the carriers you have in your telephony.db and the one you just added should be at the bottom.
7. Type the following to quit sqlite3
.exit
8. Type the following to reboot your phone
reboot

Summary:
a. Find /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db and it's 'carrier' table
b. Edit telephony.db with sqlite editor and add a row that is the same as the hidden AT&T Entitlement APNS, but change the numeric, mcc, mnc, apn type to match your current cellphone's APN in the database
c. Save, reboot, and viola! default tethering activated
or
2. Hack and disable apn check in framework-res.apk

[Q] HELP!: Galaxy Gear ROM Not Working After Install!

Today I installed a custom _Null ROM on my Galaxy Gear.
After full install, the Google Play Store crashes and says "Unfortunately, Google Account Manager Has Stopped Working"
The browser will not connect, and every page says "Webpage Unavailable"
I am really irritated, because I have not found 1 post with anyone having the same issue.
Please help.

In order to use the store, browser you just be tethered via bluetooth. Turn on bt tether on your phone then on the gear go to settings/bluetooth then you will see settings next to the name of your phone. Click that and select tether

It's very common; doesn't sound like you even looked...
Anyway, those things happen with no active internet connection
Internet is achieved via Bluetooth tether or pdanet (and supported tethering phone plan)

Does anyone know what this FC is or what's causing it? It says, "Unfortunately, Context Service has stopped working." When I press ok it just keeps coming up.

Anyone have an idea?

unfortunately, context service has stopped on my note 2. i cannot use my phone until connected to WIFI. kindly help me with this problem. I am new to rooting and everything. I dont know how to replace this context service. Please help.

I had a similar problem with my S5(G900V). I rename the ContextService.apk file to ContextService.apk.nothanks so it wouldn't run and that seemed to fix the issue.

You can read about Samsung's context service here: http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer...ll-collect-user-data-to-share-with-developers.
If you are rooted with Titanium Backup, you can safely freeze the context service... my phone has been running fine for a few months now without it.

go to Setting/Applications/All/Context Service/Clear Cache/Clear Data. its work for me...

I started getting the error message every time I opened "Messaging" & came to look for a solution. Turns out that freezing it to begin with is what was causing it. Unfroze it and Messaging now works fine again.

SOLUTION: Context service is a background task that collects data and send them to samsung. Just switch that under Settings -> Security and ... -> Diagnosis (not to shure, since my phone is German) off and the trobelmaking "Context service" will be shut down.

i know this thread is old but for those other ppl who will encounter this problem. just download another messaging app. it should be good.

Tasker Unable to "input tap" command after root

I have a GS6 64GB running the latest OTA and rooted on Ping Pong Root. I am trying to automate starting my wifi hotspot and the third party apps don't seem to work so I figured I would use tasker to input a couple of taps but the command won't run. Wondering if anyone else has run in to this. I have given tasker root privilege and enabled its accessibility setting. The circle in the tasker UI goes red and it never completes the task. I never had an issue on my GS5. I tried the swipe command as well with the same outcome. I also opened a terminal window to run the command and it said the tap command didn't exist. I ran the swipe command in terminal and it worked but taskers run shell > input swipe didn't. Any help would be great. Ultimately I want a way to get Wifi hotspot to turn on when it sees my cars bluetooth. I have AT&T so i need to swipe on then verify so it is a couple steps.

I've been trying to do the exact same thing with no luck. I replicated the same thing on my s4 that I recently got running lollipop. Not sure if its a Samsung lollipop issue or a lollipop issue in general.
The only thing I was able to do to make it easier was add a quick settings toggle to enable it. Makes it a little easier. I just wish I could get rid of the warning about turning wifi off and having to tap ok.

After doing some research I found its an issue with new 64 bit devices. Anyway I found a work around using secure settings plugin. The input tap command works if you use the secure settings plugin and put the command in there.

That's good to know. After I was able to accomplish that. It just the secure setting method to activate WiFi hotspot and the tasked WiFi tether function and they both work now. I didn't notice am update to either but I'm glad it work now.

I'm curious what you did to make the wifi hotspot functions work in securesettings? I'm rooted with pingpong but if I run a task to enable wifi hotspot it fails every time.

It works in secure settings and just the wifi tether in tasker. I'm not really sure what I did. Used the input tap method to activate it. And tried after that and it worked. Didn't try it right before that tho. I'm running stock rooted oe2 (I think that's it, the update). I have the WiFi tether mod installed but that's only to get rid of the verify process it did when I turn it on. It didn't work after that I tried.

"My Account needs access to your device's location . . ."

Hi Folks,
I did a search and couldn't locate a reference to this notification message yet, please let me know if it's already been referenced.
Running stock OTA Marshmallow on a non-rooted Nexus 6 with Verizon Wireless and a grandfathered Unlimited Data Plan.
Usually within 30 minutes of rebooting my phone, the following message shows in Notifications, but clicking on it only removes the message and does not actually open any app:
My Account needs access to your device's location, contacts, and phone identity in order to automatically connect you to premium and public hotspots and save your data plan.

I thought it might be the Verizon Mobile app, so I turned off its notifications permissions in App Settings, but that had no effect.
Curious what on my phone is trying to gain this access and which "My Account" is being referenced - any ideas?
EDIT: Answered below - it was the TracFone app.

That sounds like androids device manager. I have never seen it myself but that could be do to not running stock or that I disable the device manager in security/admin.
But it could be that.

Long-click the notification and you'll see what app it is...

Thank you, I did not know that.
Turns out this is coming from the TracFone app, which I had installed to help manage my sister's account. Disabled its notification permissions, so hopefully good to go.
