[Q] Is Verizon Blocking Bluetooth Data Sharing?

Hey Other Glass Explorers,
Just wanted to check and see if anyone has found a way around verizon blocking bluetooth data sharing unless you have a tethering plan. Out of the research I've done so far supposedly google built a work around into the MyGlass app (the icon shows up and down arrows) but I still get not data connection when only connected to bluetooth. I thinking my option at this point is to root and say "Forget you Verizon, I'll do what I want with my data". Has anyone else noticed this?

VZW is a PITA

Gary -
I can confirm that Verizon was blocking my bluetooth tether. I'm on a grandfathered unlimited data plan. Once I rooted, and went to a custom ROM, I'm happy to report that bluetooth data tethering is fully operational.
Cheers...

Gotcha, Thanks. I guess I know what I'll be doing tonight

Wi-Fi tether no longer an option..

Ok so I'm running a Rom that has the native Wi-Fi tether enabled but as soon as a device connects the signal drops (meaning I loose data on the phone)
I've noticed many many people after updating to kitkat having the same problem but no one has a solution.
Has anyone found a workaround to get Wi-Fi tether working again?
I'm using a sense based rom. Not sure if aosp rom would fix this issue.

+1. I have been searching for a fix myself. The 4g and native tether do not work well together, at least with me. I've tried the patch on stock roms as well with the same results. I connect just fine, but then seconds later the data will drop. I have good 4g coverage and without the hotspot active, the connection will never drop. If I switch to cdma only there are no drops while tethering. I have been testing different scenarios to find a solution, but no success yet. I also have not found any mention of the problem on the cm threads, but I prefer sense and have not tested. It makes me wonder if the sprint proxies are causing this. I am tethering a window device.

No problem, I was on ecliptic one but 4G appeared at my work one day, then one night I went to sleep with3g and woke to having 4g lol...plus we had a little road trip to the wife's family and my oldest one uses her iPod on the tether...long trip with out it lol..

Just curious...do you have a hotspot plan with Sprint?
I am having the same problem with the stock OTA and and using the hotspot hacks since I don't have a hotspot plan. It would be interesting to know if those with a hotspot plan (for which the native app should work unhacked) have the 4G problem too...

Good question. No I do not have the hotspot plan. Never have needed it with the fix prior to kk. I'm not abusive of it, but I simply hate the fact that 4g now doesn't work very well with tethering. Seems to be a hit or miss with everyone. Mine will connect, load a few pages then out of nowhere the connection drops. Go cdma only and it works as should. I'm hoping a few of these threads will gather some attention and help us find a solution for everyone.

Been testing some CM builds of Kit Kat. I have been running CM11 build modded by IrocEvo the last few days. I have had zero issues with any type of tethering. 4G tethering works as should with no disconnects. I'm not sure what the difference is in the scripts for the mods, but possibly someone could assist here. For now, ill be keeping a backup of this build specifically for tethering purposes.

I don't have hot spot on my plan, but I'm trying the new ecliptic rom with sense six, just haven't been able to try4g tether today...been to busy building an engine :/ hopefully try tomorrow

After some further testing on the CDMA+LTE mode, I was able to determine that I could successfully tether my android tablet and samsung smart TV with no interruptions. The problems begin while using this mode (rather than CDMA only) and tethering my laptop. It appears while using this radio mode sprint sniffs the packets for user agent data and once determined its a windows device the connection is interrupted. My question is, why would this happen on this radio mode only? Are the APN settings different for this mode and can those be changed. Sorry to keep beating the horse, but I would like to find a solution rather than running a VPN to tether my windows 8.1 laptop. Any ideas? Thanks everyone.

Do you use chrome or IE? When I use chrome all is fine, when I start using IE I get the drops. I'm using a MS Surface Pro on Win8.1. Strange, but I think I have pinned it down.

Why would you choose to use internet explorer?

Honestly I use both chrome and ie...my work stuff and chrome don't agree...but I use chrome for just about everything else

I've looked into this before and the common response I would find is that it has to do with the Hotspot apk in Sense. There was some sort of change when moving from JB 4.2 to 4.3.

I've since moved to the Google edition rom and everything works there ?

Best Wifi Tether WITH root option?

So I've been a longtime foxfi -> PDANet user and ever since 4.3 dropped I've lived without tether. It wasn't THAT big a deal for me since I tether in emergency situations only and they don't come up often but now that I'm on the S5 and root has dropped I realized it's time to get tethering as a backup working.
So my question is what's the current best wifi tether option for the S5 if you've rooted it? I don't mind paying for an app if there's no free version that does the same thing or just to support a good developer. I've found things like wifi tether:
https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
but every one I've found seems old and hasn't been updated in quite a long time.
Any feedback much appreciated.

Try WiFi Tether Router v6

I apologize for being nosey, but what's wrong with the built-in Mobile Hotspot?

Grandfathered unlimited with no option to use the built-in Mobile Hotspot without giving up the unlimited. I use MAYBE 500MB-1GB tethering a month and I'm not willing to give up unlimited for the ability to tether those rares times especially since pulling into the parking lot of a starbucks has worked for those emergencies in the last few months.

That WiFi tether is OK to use. The core system has not been updated in a while, but if you look into the project a little deeper, you will find that the S4 just received it's own configuration into the tether.
With the S5 recently obtaining root, I'm sure the configuration will be patched in soon.
I am using 3.4pre1 (experimental). There are only two issues I came across.
1) The Logging portion fails.
2) If you are connected to a wifi hotspot, then start wifi tether, you will loose the configuration for that specific SSID. Don't worry, though, as a reboot will fix this.
Also, I use the S4 device profile. It seems there is somewhat smoother operations with this.

I have grandfathered unlimited data with AT&T and successfully enabled the built-in hotspot by using the "Disable tethering provisioning" option in WanamXposed

I just tried that and it didn't seem to work for me. I got impatient and just bought Wifi Tether Router 6 (that $25 google play credit makes it hard to be patient). It seems to work but I had some issues when I was connected to Wifi when I started to initiate the tether and actually if I was even in a place where I had a signal for a saved wifi. Forgetting the wifi networks in my house and it worked which I guess is ok since I wouldn't ever be using it someplace where I had another Wifi to connect to.
But I wouldn't mind figuring out how to use wanam xposed to do it, if there's a way to.

Yes it does seem to. Allows me to use native app, doesn't mess up wifi if connected already. I think I'll use this method. I'll just eat the $2.50 for wifi tether router I guess.

[TUT][ROOT] AT&T Wifi-Tethering Provision Bypass

DISCLAIMER: This is my first thread on XDA, so hopefully I'm not posting in the wrong place/format/context/whatever. If I am, sorry.
For those of you with AT&T plans that don't include Tethering, I came across a simple way to bypass this with root and allow you to run the built in tethering instead of having to use FoxFi.
What you'll need:
Xposed Framework
X Tether Module (Xposed Module)
Root (towelroot method)
Titanium Backup
Root Explorer/ES File Explorer
Step 1:
Install Xposed Framework.
Once installed, launch Xposed Installer, go to Downloads and search for X Tether
Install X Tether, Activate the Module, and reboot.
Step 2:
Open Titanium Backup and find TetheringProvision 4.06.72
Press the App and select 'Freeze !'
Step 3:
Open Root Explorer and navigate to:
/system/app/
Now rename TetheringProvision.apk and TetheringProvision.odex
to TetheringProvision.apk.bak and TetheringProvision.odex.bak
Step 4:
Reboot, Set up Hotspot and Enjoy!

Tried this, when I attempt to activate the HotSpot it says "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped."
After following the updated instructions, my hotspot appears to be working. Thank you!

Yea, that looked too easy. Usually you would swap the tethering provision files with hacked ones.

I see you changed the instructions in the thread. That just renaming the file like you suggested earlier, well AT&T caught on to that, and now that doesn't work anymore.

Hi shortydoggg,
You're right, I left out the most important part, the Xposed Module.
X Tether (or Moto Tether) is what actually clears out the array that stores the provision varification data (config_mobile_hotspot_provision_app)
Just running this module didn't work for me at first but after renaming the Tether Provisioning files it worked fine.
I also had trouble renaming the files until I froze the Tether Provisioning apk file.
I just ran another test and the built in wifi hotspot is still working great with my 3GB monthly plan.

Works awesome!!!!
BTW, I have the Grandfathered Unlimited Data Plan.
Thanks!

Did this yesterday, worked fine. THANKS!
Also another grandfathered unlimited plan here; they provisioned the plan on my new GS5 but couldn't enable tethering. This solves that!! Awesome!!

Open the Xposed network on your phone and check that the tethering module is activated, and that the xposed network actually installed. You may need to do another step (hint)

Wifi tether speed
I was able to allow mobile hot spot on my Att S5 using the S4 method of replacing the tetherprovision.apk, problem is the speed of the devices connected is terrible. Fine for checking email on one device but not for streaming netflix on multiple like I need. Anyone know of a way to change this? Is it some config file that is set purposely to limit tethered devices?

Note 3 4.4.2
works, thanks

having trouble with the settings also

They shouldn't notice. I've been tethering on my s2 for years without any issues.
Some developers will say it is technically possible. If your concerned, a VPN service will hide all of your online habits from Tmobile.
I have a subscription through PrivateInternetAccess, I havent hand any issues with their app.

It works!!! I'm also on the grandfathered unlimited plan!

Note 3 AT&T on T-Mobile, never used hotspot before
A few questions -
1. Phone gets hot when hotspot is on. Is that normal?
2. Connection drops from time to time. IPv6 connectivity shows "no internet access", but then works without me doing anything. Is that T-Mobile's fault?
3. When I received a call the icon changed from LTE to 4g, but while hotspot is on and pc connected, the signal never changed back to LTE. Is that how it supposed to be? I have to turn hotspot off and on after every phone call to get LTE back? Or is that T-Mobile not being happy (I have not used the 3gb hotspot limit on my unlimited data plan)
Thanks

Hi, first off a major thanks to OP for posting an excellent tutorial on how to do this. I was really hoping to get tethering enabled on my grandfather unlimited data plan before vacation and am so excited to not have to pay $15 a day for WiFi.
I've been having a lot of lag with the phone lately. Its very slow to respond to typing, switching apps, and even waking and putting to sleep takes 5-10 seconds longer than normal. Any suggestions? I followed all of the directions to the letter and aside from this massive amount of lag, everything is perfect.

Hey Nikon,
Hopefully someone with a little more knowledge on the subject can help out but here are my thoughts.
1. My s2 always got hot while tethering for long periods of time and my s5 seems to do the same as well.
This is normal and caused by the 4G antenna and WiFi antenna running simultaneously.
2. Perhaps IPv6 is not working but IPv4 is? I'm seeing the same thing on my AT&T connection.
3. I never had this issue. You might want to double check your APN settings, it could be a t-mobile thing but I really don't think they're targeting people who tether, it sounds more like the connection can't re-establish after connecting to a phone call.

Hey RSCTurner20,
I haven't notice any lag since doing this, does the lag go away if you turn off the X Tether Module and reboot?
edit: most likely cause and a quick fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784945

that's right - if you get a call or access phone settings while client is connected phone cannot re-establish lte connection.
I know when you get a call (hotspot off) on Nexus 5 it takes anywhere from 15 seconds to up to 5 minutes to get lte back
Is there a way to force phone to refresh frequencies?

Bypass tether throttle on T-Mobile One

I was wondering if there's a workaround to the T-Mobile tether throttle on the One plan. I'm currently waiting on my replacement but was hoping to be able to get the workaround running asap. Thanks in advanced!

Well, that is just the beginning of not so nice things within the new plan. The new plan is really about throttling users after a small amount of data. Unlimited, just not unlimited high speed. Which is the reason I stayed with my old plan.

T-Mobile One is unlimited data, no buckets, so you're gonna use up infinity data at full quality with your proposal

My guess is you could root and probably use a 3rd party app to tether at LTE speeds. I've been wondering the same thing myself so I'm following to see what everybody else says lol

I have tried WiFi Tether Router by Fabio Grasso, but it doesn't help. Tried all different settings/methods combinations. Still tethers at the same speeds as Android native tethering.
I also tried changing User Agent string on my tablet and laptop to clone my Nexus 6's string but still not helping.
I did use to tether heavily, many months of around 300 GBs of data with this app "Wifi Tether Router". It's perfect for bypassing quotas, but so far not working for throttling.
Interesting fact: T-Mobile is letting speedtest.net traffic through without throttling, so if you run it, you'll notice it shows LTE speeds. However, if you run any other test like speedof.me (which is my favorite!) you'll be throttled.
I'll keep you guys posted when I figure it our. Shouldn't take long.

Have you tried a VPN?

You can download "WiFi Tether Router" in the Playstore, if you're rooted, it gives you unlimited tethering.

Interesting fact: T-Mobile is letting speedtest.net traffic through without throttling, so if you run it, you'll notice it shows LTE speeds. However, if you run any other test like speedof.me (which is my favorite!) you'll be throttled.
I'll keep you guys posted when I figure it our. Shouldn't take long.

You have to edit build.prop file. You can do that easily by downloading the app called "BuildProp Editor" in the Playstore. Then look for the string called "net.tethering.noprovisioning" and set it to true. then it should be working no problem.

Any solution yet to this???

Found a kinda solution. I downloaded foxfi and the key (if you need the key I can send you the link) and turned it on and chose "run proxy" then connect your laptop, PlayStation, Xbox etc to the proxy and it will tether more than 500kbps I'm using my hotspot to watch Netflix on my PlayStation right now and there's hardly any buffer time so it's working for me.

Method 1 – Dun = 0 [Android Only]
Requirements: Windows PC, USB cable
Download the ADB and Fastboot installer from XDA-developers. Select Yes when prompted by installation options (install ADB and fastboot, install system-wide, and install drivers).
Enable USB Debugging on your phone/tablet.
Connect your phone to your computer via USB cable.
Open up the command prompt.
Click Start, in the search Type in cmd. Next, Click on the program cmd (or Command Prompt).
Type “adb shell” and press enter.
Don’t type the quotation marks “”, just the text inside them!
Type “settings put global tether_dun_required 0” and press enter.
Note: If you see “error: device not found” it is usually because A) you need to update your phone USB drivers on your PC or B) your USB cable isn’t capable of transmitting data because it is only designed to charge the phone or C) USB Debugging isn’t enabled.

- Got this from Groovypost.com ... It also says you can change your TTL setting in the registry to 65 and that also works...

I have tried WiFi Tether Router by Fabio Grasso, but it doesn't help. Tried all different settings/methods combinations. Still tethers at the same speeds as Android native tethering.

Do you still get throttled to 128kbs or whatever?
