Can Sony Xperia Z3 Compact do Wi-Fi tethering? - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm in the U.S., thinking of ordering the U.S. model to use it on AT&T or T-Mobile. I wonder if it can do Wi-Fi tethering out of the box, or i have to root it first. Thanks

Works fine
No root required , comes with it out of the box

Not sure about the other US carriers, but T-Mobile can tether just fine on my unlimited t-zones plan. T-zones generally does not allow any tethering, and I've never been able to tether on a T-Mobile branded phone without some kind of hack.

I tried it and it works on AT&T.

[Q] Teathering and AT&T

So I'm unlocked and rooted (S-ON) and want to know the best app for teathering. My carrier is AT&T and I don't want to violate my user agreement. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Isn't tethering without a tethering plan a violation of the user agreement?
After a phone call to at&t
If you are on a mobile share plan...tethering is included...

I use WiFi tether for root users by Müller. It works perfectly.

AT&T Native Tethering

Had anybody been able to Natively Tether on AT&T? I know there are solutions for VZW.

i would also like to know this
Posted in the other thread someone is going to modify the files for AT&T and post later today. Keeping my fingers crossed that it will work.
Is this just for single line plans? I ask because I've always been able to tether right out the box, even before I went with a mobile share plan.

Well for me if I tether on my current plan I will lose it because I'm still on grandfathered unlimited plan. So having it work with out screwing me out of my unlimited data would be nice.

Wifi hotspot

My phone is rooted but bootloader is unlock able as its a T-Mobile Sony xperia z. Is there anyway that I can use a wifi tether app to take advantage of my unlimited data? I haven't been able to find one with the right settings. Thanks

Do you want to use your mobile phone as an WiFi hotspot ?
Just open settings -> More... -> tethering & portable hotspot (german: Anbindung & mobiler Hotspot)

Yeah I know about that. The only thing is if I use it like that T-Mobile only gives me 2.5 gigs of lte. I wanted to know if there was a way I could take advantage of my unlimited data plan as a wifi hotspot.

Hmmm, think you'll have to talk to T-Mobile support. I thought if you ave LTE flat you also can use it with other devices via WiFi Tethering.

tethering unlocked tmobile with att service?

As title states, is it possible?

For sure. I use AT&T service on the tmobile Note 4 all day. I use tethering all the time too. Never heard anything from AT&T.

Just use the phones native tethering.
It should be in your settings. No need to do anything else special.

I have always used Foxfi to tether on custom roms on AT&T phones and have not been detected as long as I only tethered an android tablet. They could detect a Windows PC unless I used a VPN.
I cannot use Foxfi on 5.1.1 roms on the N910T since it gets an error. I can run native tethering and it works fine, but have only done it a little bit since I am kind of wary about being detected - I have already been warned twice already a couple years ago. I, too, wanted to make sure it was undetectable by AT&T if I used the native tethering instead of Foxfi with its proxy.
I unlock my Samsung Note 4 T-Mobile with sim-unlock code, but I've heard that I cannot use this phone with internet 3G, 4G or LTE i'm outside US. And also I need another code to unlock this feature. I cannot check if I can use 3G Internet or not. Somebody knows that for sure?
