For those of you who are on AT&T plans(or Go phone plan) that officially allows tethering, does the z3 compact have that tethering and hotspot setting like the Note 3? If not and you are not rooted, how are you able to do wifi hotspot?

The phone comes with a standard built-in WiFi hotspot function, and it works perfectly on AT&T
Thank you guys. Getting impatient for a US model. Might just order it from Ebay.

Yea, that is why I just did the pre-order and got it from Clove. US is always months behind getting the new models, if they even manage to hit carriers.
this is good news that it works. anyone know if it works over bluetooth as well?
Does AT&T charge when I turn on my tethering?
They don't really know you are using it if you having an unlocked phone. But if you use it to much they might catch on

I have a non rooted stock ROM, is there any hotspot wifi app available for the TBolt ?
I had the Samsung Droid Charge and I found an app from SVTP that allowed hotspot without Verizon charges.

Try this
Or THIS
Those are for Tethering, not WiFi Hotspot, but thanks anyway.

Well you do realize that tethering will also allow you to use your device's connection through a PC or laptop, right?
Similar concept, just uses USB instead of wifi.
Anyway, here is a WIFI APP (no root needed)
Can't verizon bust you for this?, I'm not trying to do the "holier than thou" thing, because I am interested in this...Just was wondering...I know at&t started nailing people for it.

I believe the running concensus is that yes, they can bust you. Possibly by sending you a bill and/or enrolling you in the wifi tether plan. I'm sure they could legally void your contract and/or refuse service to you as well (there goes that grandfathered unlimited data plan). That said, I don't know how many cases there are of them actually doing this, so from what I've seen, people say to just keep it within reason.
I was a little excited to hear about the introduction of the new "Unlimited" data plan starting tomorrow. However, upon further perusion, I've discovered a screenshot and confirmed it with both of my local T-Mo store managers. This plan cannot be combined with hotspot/tethering option.
So my question is this: Will there be a workaround for this? Or do I have to stick with my current plan? I hit the 10gb cap within 2 weeks, because in this rural area, I use my phone as my general internet. :\

i'm tethering it right now and i'm on the new truly unlimited data plan. I had to set it to samsung gs2 as that was the closest related phone on the list that worked. generic ics or auto didn't work. i had to install the apk and re install it for it to work. then it took some playing with to get it to connect, but it works now. you can get it here.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1850972 just a heads up though. I wouldn't go crazy with your internet. any indication that you are tethering and tmobile could do a number of things. read the fine print as this would be a violation of your contract.

my phone is rooted with the stock rom and although tethering and wifi do work.....it's blocked by tmobile. you can get away with wifi tethering for a few minutes, then you'll get a text from tmobile with a link to "upgrade" to a plan that allows this feature. I've tried both usb tethering and wifi tethering which end in the same result

Use a different wifi tethering app like the one below

I upgraded to the new unlimited plan..... I've used "FoxFi" 2 or 3 times for tethering my Galaxy Tab 7.... T-Mobile hasn't seemed to catch on yet (stock/unrooted Note)

I'm planning to go pick up a moto x (card) today, but I need to know if I will be able to use it to create a personal wifi hotspot.
Right now, I have a Galaxy S (AT&T Captivate) and as soon as I installed Cyanogen, I was able to turn on the wifi hotspot and connect with my laptop. No extra fees from AT&T, it just worked.
Since there is no root or unlocked bootloader for the Moto X, will I still be able to enable this feature or will it still be removed from the OS like it was on my stock Galaxy S?
I don't want to have to pay $10 a month or something to use the data I've already paid for--I don't tether often, but it is often fairly important when I do.

It won't be an option until we get root. After that we can alter the build.prop and work around it.

Is it still an option if I pay for it? I guess I could pay for it until the device is rooted and then cancel (assuming that doesn't red-flag you for improper data use).
Hopefully it gets rooted soon.
I will be moving to ATT by the end of the month, currently using the untether mod through exposed, working great. I was wondering if this method will work after I switch to ATT..searched around, but didnt see this anywhere recently discussed

I have XT1053 DE with unlocked bootloader and rooted on AT&T GoPhone. I can confirm that built-in USB and WiFi tethering work fine but I only used them for a short while just to see that it works. I don't know if AT&T detects it and if it does - what it will do. I also don't know if postpaid AT&T any different.

I read on another site that there is some sort of tether cloaker for ATT if you are rooted but I can't remember where I read it.
To tether on TMobile you need to be rooted? I'm switching over and would like to know before I do.
Well, I am on the unlimited plan, which started to come with a 2.5 gig hotspot. When I wasn't rooted, obviously my data rose on the hotspot when is tethered my iPad, but after rooting and using exposed etc. my hotspot data has stayed at .1 meg for that last 2 weeks

I got a slap on the wrist from AT&T after I used tethering for about a week. I called them for something and they essentially said "if you keep doing that, we'll start charging you for a tethering plan."
AT&T Mobile Share plans have a bucket of data, and it can be used on the device or tethering ... doesn't matter how you use it.

do you have a grandfathered unlimited data plan.
Nope, at the time I had a 2gb data plan.
Is it possible to tether this to a another device...i.e a rooted samsung galaxy s4?

I am not sure why you would need to. It has WiFi and 3G onboard... unless you mean the other way round, in which case YES you can by going into settings/wireless and networks

Well, The Verizon model is cheaper, I'm with AT&T and I don't want a 3G plan but I want to be able to tether it to my phone so that I can still get instant upload and all the benefits while I'm away from "Wifi"

Foxfi should work.
I have a Galaxy Cam 2 and Bluetooth is also an option.
Most current models of Samsung phones have the "hacked" tether blocked, even if rooted. I found that the Wifi Tether Router app by Fabio Grasso in the Play store works perfectly and I gave up on waiting for the hack to be fixed. It's not free, but it's only a few $ (and worth it).
