Tethering and Hotspot - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

Okay so tethering and Hotspot works on my phone if I use a separate app, but how come when I use the stock one, it looks like this? Also, the option from the settings disappeared after doing something with root. Thanks

Atrix HD and Foxfi

Foxfi is a great program where you can use wifi tethering without root. I have used it before on other devices but with the Atrix HD when I open it and another computer connects to my Wifi signal then the phone reboots.
I have read on another website that 2 other people are having the same problem and was wondering if anyone else is. I sent an email to the developer of Foxfi but haven't received a response.
Just wondering if anyone knows of a way to get this program working without it causing a reboot or if there is another program that works just as well?
No problems here. Why not use the native hotspot functionality. It works very well.

How do you use the native hotspot functionality? Will AT&T detect I'm using the tethering, if I use the native hotspot?
What data plan u have. My 5gig comes with hotspot included ...

I'll have to give that a try. Have to use a tethering app until this device gets rooted. My 3gb data plan doesn't include mobile hotspot.
I still am wondering if anyone else is having problems with the phone rebooting while using foxfi?
Thanx

I tried foxfi and it also rebooted. when I turn on the native hotspot, it immediately turns it off and stated my plan does not include tethering.
Anyone tried using bluetooth tethering using Foxfi? I would like to use my iPad tethered through Atrix HD. However, if bluetooth tethering is not gonna work, I don't want to jailbreak my iPad.

Not on AT&T without adding the feature and charging additionally for it.
I know Verizon does it for free after the FCC case about the LTE bandwidth.
I've always done the workaround with the wife tether apk... I'll keep trying and searching.

Like other people said, use FoxFi or the native android app. When the box comes up that says call ATT don't push OK, just hit the home button. You now have a wireless access point.

Not sure if this is an old trick or not but hitting home doesn't work. The phone says I have an active wifi network but it is not broadcasting (AT&T is killing any broadcasting).

Doesnt your settings fc after you turn on the tethering?

It works, no problem. So before I give you the answer, please be prepared to smack yourself in the head.
Ok then, first why would you freeze tether when you are trying to use it?
Ok, when you disable tethering provision in Wanam xposed, you can use the att mobile hot spot.
Turn the att mobile hot spot on, hit OK. (if it goes off, turn it on again) When you see the att verify box, hit the home button, do not hit OK.
Open the app again, hot spot should be on, configure your access point.
Enjoy!
I found that ruebarb's method works but it gives me a message about tethering not being enabled for my account. When I freeze provisioning in TiBu I get a force close.

Teathering isn't enabled for your ATT account, that's the point of this work around, you are not paying $20 to use your own data. This mod can't hack the ATT system. You just go around it. If you hit the ok on the ATT box, it closes the app.
Indeed.
I was just saying that the difference between not freezing and freezing whilst using your instructions will yield a notification or a force close, respectively.

Makes sense now.
---------- Post added at 11:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 AM ----------
Folks don't freeze tethering to use the method I listed
Here's how it works.
The way I got it to work is I disabled the tethering provision via Wanamm...
Then - when I enable tethering I also get the popup box for verification, but when the contact AT&T message and ok button comes up, just hit the home button instead...
Wifi tethering will remain on and active without needing the verification. You can then go back in and configure it and whatever no problem. :good:
Thank you Captain Hindsight

Cant send pic messages after towelroot att s5

Did you use xposed, or did you do any modifications. I haven't found a post yet where the phone was broke after towel root, where towel root itself broke the phone.
Agree. There's no reason the root itself would cause this. Give us some more info so we can help you better. MMS can be finicky anyway on this phone. I've had some message delay issues (which are mms), but I've found a restart helps stuff come and go faster.

I've noticed pretty much every one of the "my phone's not acting right after towel root" in some way has xposed involved.

There is a reason for this. It is the network not the phone. Picture messaging is not sent through as normal data on the default text app it has to go through the towers.

I've found that mms doesn't work when using adblock plus. If you're using that, delete it and switch to Adaway. Fixed the problems I was having with mms messages.
DI'm having this same issue. A reboot causes a pending one to download but can't sent out. Uninstalled add block plus and still have issue. I did install add away
For clarification. I installed and successfully ran towellroot. Installed xposed and then the xposed framework. Installed wanam xposed. Changed a few things in the notification bar like battery. Put symbols back into keyboard.
Strange it worked for a few days just perfectly fine... now it does not work.
That's all I've done.

Since you're rooted, maybe you should do a full backup in TiBu, wipe clean, and restore. It might fix whatever broke.

I think I may have got it working last night. Adblock Plus did not an uninstall the first time I did it properly so it over wrote the settings again no I didn't know it. After a couple reboots with adAway install it seems to be now working

I use Handsent with my Xt1080 while stock is disabled. No problems on the latest KK build.
Be sure you are happy with an alternative first then disable.

you cant disable the stock messaging app as its faded out. As long as u have the messaging app you want to use set up as default it be ok.
Some of the services are needed elsewhere, if you remove it you will find some (maybe all?) SMS apps on the play store also leverage those services and they wont work or at least that was my experience. I read some time ago this is also why the roms always have at least the AOSP texting app on board, maybe one of the smart people will come along and set me (us) straight.
