Anyone know which one works? sprint seemed to bork the native tethering.
Mine works on Sprint
I had to do the build prop edit and SQL lite entry then it worked

Only if you have a subscription. Mine worked initially (could tether to the phone) but with no Internet connection. Now it comes up with an error saying I am not subscribed. when I try to enable it...

I'm not sure if it will work for Sprint, but for Verizon this is what I did:
1. You need root access
2. Download "Root Browser" from the Play Store
3. Navigate to /System
4. Open "build.prop." It should give you the option to open in a text editor
5. Add "net.tethering.noprovisioning=tru" at the bottom - without quotations.
6. Reboot and enjoy
Again, that worked for Verizon. I can't really speak for Sprint, but I imagine it is worth a shot.
what mtpease did, I had to do as well on Atnt and it worked after that

Works on sprint as well. Tried at first and something didn't take. Tried disabling through services.jar and couldn't really decompile due to ART so tried prop edit again and it took. Tether works great
Would they end up just tacking on tethering to your plan anyways? (If they detected you using it)
Having issues making this work on Sprint. Tethering turns on and my laptop gets a valid IP after I edited the build.prop file, but I can't get out to the internet. Any suggestions?

No. With Sprint if you don't abuse tethering (like running a bittorrent node with your laptop, or running your home network through your phone) they will likely not bother you. Slamming down a couple of gigs, or more in a day will certainly get Sprints attention with you either receiving a nicely worded letter telling you to knock it off and get a plan, or that they are dropping you.

Same for me. I can ping my phone, but can't get through to the internet.
If I use Bluetooth tethering on my laptop, it works if my phone is connected to WiFi. Turn off WiFi and computer can't get out to the internet, but I can browse on my phone. There must be a firewall rule blocking it or something.
**Edit** I got it working. In addition to editing build.prop, you also need to add a line in data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db. Open the database in an SQLite editor and add the following string in the global tab: tether_dun_required=0
After you reboot, it will work.

This didn't resolve it for me on VZW. It "checks subscription", then says "Your order could not be processed..." when trying to start the included wifi tethering app.
Did you edit your build.prop too?

Steps I've taken to get tethering working, Verizon unlimited data plan (so tethering should require subs):
--rooted using Chainfire's root mehod.
--modified /system/build.prop to add: "net.tethering.noprovisioning=tru" (without quotes)
--modified the /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases - global - "tether_dun_required" to "0" (without quotes)
Still get "Checking subscription" when I try to turn on Tethering & portable hotspot "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot" in settings.

If you want to use the webtop browser without a tethering plan you can try the following:
1. Install and enable Proxoid (a http proxy) http://code.google.com/p/proxoid/
2. Set the Webtop Firefox proxy to localhost, port 8080
3. Browse the internet without limits
The only thing i have not figured out how to do is get rid of the popup that says "Verifying AT&T account status for webtop...", it eventually goes away but is annoying none the less. If anyone knows what process is responsible for that perhaps we can manually kill it.
Wait... you need tethering for BOTH docks simply to open the browser?!
Help with proxoid
Can u please give a step by step for this
unless you use WiFi, you need tethering.

Yea if you follow that post and change the APN it will also eventually let you use the browser. The only trouble is while that message says "Checking your AT&T account..." it wont work. You have to wait for that message to time out and disappear.
The proxy method is just a way to avoid waiting for that message every time you start webtop.
i guess this would only apply to the people with the laptop dock.....my hd dock i use wifi anyways.

i have an iphone unlimited plan (switching from iphone4, may switch back), and did the APN change for the tethering. That works great, webtop keeps trying to check my plan and gets denied. My guess is you dont have an unlimited data plan so tethering is enabled.
This is tremendously helpful for me.
I am also on the unlimited plan and don't want to change to the tether plan but hate having to be on wifi to use the webtop firefox.
Its working well for me.
Great find.
And this is why I'm seriously thinking of selling my ipad for the dock. Seriously.
Rooted/ROM Captivate
Rooted Atrix
does this proxoid method work with the laptop dock? you don't have to change apn settings, can keep the default in place? Wondering if this is a safer route to go if it works.
What happens if you attempt to use the dock on 3/4G without a tethering plan?
I have gon into the phone and edited the Default telephony .db with wap.cingular APN settings. So now the default connection that the phone falls back to IS the wap.cingular settings.
I get a message from webtop that says its verifying tethering on my acct, but then the message disapears and the browser allows me online.
The .db i modified was data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
I midified the settings for #4 AT&T HSDPA, which is the APN that the phone defaults to, and webtop uses.
It also does the same now when i use wifihotspot. It turns on, gives error that i do not have the feature enabled on my acct, then still lets me usee wifihotspot feature.
edit: I've attatched the modified telephony.db. Rename the files ext to "db" without quotes. This was the only way i could upload - as i am on Webtop right now. push the file to the directory i listed above. --try at your own risk-- I would verify with SQLite that the integrity of the file is still intact aft you rename it back to telephony.db
please let me know if this works for anyone else, as it has worked for me.
A smart thing to do would also be replacing ALL instances of isp.Cingular or broadband in that list in the 310 mmc range to wap.cingular or phone.
True .. but while in Webtop, i checked the connected APN, and it is still ATT HSDPA.
Then could we be missing something that may be programmed into the webdock?
The proxy method works great. Thank you very much for the info!

att still thinks im on iphone4 as well, unlimited plan, proxiod works perfect.
i opened a term window and did a

and then turned wifi off and did a

and im going to see if i can find the process that is the window that wont go away so we can kill it.
ill let you know my findings

Can someone give more specific instructions please, including setting up from firefox on the webtop? Also when using the proxoid mehod did u also change apn settings or leave them alone?
NEVERMIND, figured out what to do. Proxoid rules! No tethering contract required, no changing my APN, and no losing my unlimited data. happy camper here.
Has anyone used any tethering apps successfully? I downloaded Wifi Tethering for Root and have not been able to connect. Foxfi will not work on my current phone. Is there any way to change settings in the phones system folder to take advantage of it's built in hotspot capabilities. Well without big red knowing about it.

Do you want to use the Kindle Fire 2 as a WiFi Hot Spot or Access Point? When you say Tether, do you want
to connect your phone to your computer through USB, this is called Tethering. When you use the phone as
a WiFi connection, this is called a Hot Spot or Access Point. What type of phone would you like to use as a Hot
Spot? There is a solid app called WiFi HotSpot / WiFi Tether. The for USB Tethering, there is WiFi HotSpot &

I have a grandfathered unlimited data package through Verizon and I want to be able to use my phone to supply the wifi if I am not close to a public wifi. I ran wifi analyzer and have a strong signal from my phone but it is an ad hoc signal which I understand the K f doesn't recognize.

Now I understand! Yes, Ad Hoc is not supported by many devices. Change the settings from Ad Hoc
to Infrastructure in the WiFi Application. This will be in the Options or Settings of the WiFi Tethering
Application.
Ok, getting closer to something working. I downloaded Wifi Tether for Root and it has a bunch of device selections and different option but something is still not quite right. With generic ICS selected and startup method selected Netd (master) the KF recognizes the signal as infrastructure mode and will allow me to connect but when I try to access the web all I get is a white screen that never loads. Why?
I have answered my own question. I tried another app called Open Garden Wifi Tether and it works like a champ. I have it set on generic ICS and setup method as Netd (master). So far everything is working great. Before anyone thinks bad of tethering against the will of the big red V, I have a plan with 5 lines and 3 data packages (@$90/month) and I'll be danged if I am going to give them any more since I have unlimited data.

I have no problem with Tethering. I believe that we pay enough in Service Fees and as long as
you are not sharing the connection with 5 neighbors with the motivation to make money, there
is no problem with personal use. I am happy to hear that you were able to make it work. Good
job Clarke33!
No, the only thing I tether from my phone is my KF. I have actually been also playing with a hotspot toggle and using the phone's native hotspot. So far this has also worked and has not activated the screen from Verizon saying I need to pay an additional amount.

any other good tethering apps? open garden isnt there any more and zt-180 doesnt work.
Now that some of us are getting there Note 4 devices.
Has anyone been able to get free tethering or unlocked hotspot?
I have unlimited data plan and 5 GB tethering but on the G3 for example, there is a mod by @autoprime where you can use your mobile data as the hot spot data thus giving you the ability to have unlimited tethering.
Is something like this similar to the Galaxy Note 4?
Im familyer with Foxfi and PDANet but with our device being new, I don't think there compatible.
Any information from anyone would help out allot thanks!

Get an app on the Play Store called WiFi Tether Router - http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.snclab.wifitetherrouter -
Configure it and go down towards the bottom and hit "APN Settings". In there you will see you main APN that is used (fast.t-mobile.com)
You're going to have to make a brand new one with all of the details identical to the original, but where it says "Roaming Protocol", change that from ipv4 to ipv6, that way it is taking off of your data plan and not your tether plan.
That's how it was done on the Note 3, haven't tried on this yet. Haven't had a reason to tether.

I actually tether a lot with my wifi devices and kids' tablets.
So you're confirming that,w ith WiFi Tether Router, you can tether unrestricted?
I'm used just using the native HotSpot since many ROMs include unrestricted native tethering. I just remember that WiFi Tether Router has a lot of settings, but none that were relevant to my devices.
Thanks for your input.

After creating a second APN with the ip4 protocol... Is WiFi Tether App even needed?
On my G3 if u create a second APN the phone on G3 stock ROM wouldn't even let you activate your own APN.
On this Note 4 I created my custom APN and its active. I noticed when I activate the hotspot it stays on my custom APN. Previous phones would force the APN selection to change when u activate hotspot. Not on the Note 4 though.
If anyone is having trouble with this app a new version updated for the note 4 will be released tomorrow on the app store.

Hello,
Anyone know if FoxFi or other techniques work to tether the phone with a laptop to get internet from the phone onto the laptop? I know I can pay Sprint to subscribe for the hotspot feature, but I feel it's unjust because I'm paying for data already (not unlimited plan) so I feel it would be unjust double-billing to make me pay for the data twice essentially.
USB cable methods would be fine, in addition to bluetooth or wifi. Anything?
I tried a few of them and couldn't get anything to work. Root can't get here fast enough.

Foxfi doesn't work. Confirmed yesterday.
I am attempting to gain my MSL so I can change some APN settings and setup hotspot using foxfi and trick the authentication through the APN like on the S6.

PDAnet+
If you haven't looked at it I would suggest PDAnet+. I can't directly link to it but the web address is pdanet.co. I personally use it with the USB Tether and it works flawlessly, for the most part. What I mean by that is if you don't have a koalality USB cable you WILL run into some issues. I was using my old G2 cable not realizing it was shot and would drop the connection and corrupt big downloads. The Free version has a few restrictions, but for light or general use I don't think that would be a major issue. I bought the app as I use my G4 as my internet on my PC . I game with it and download things with no issues. I downloaded all of GTA 5 (60gb) with no major issues either.
Could you elaborate on what is a koalality USB cable? I searched google for "koalality USB" and nothing came up.

LOL, he probably meant quality
USB cables are not born the same. Personaly I use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.ampere to test the USB cable. You will see a huge difference in Amps between good and bad USB cables using the same charger.
hah thanks, didn't catch that. OK will try out both the PDAnet+ app and the Ampere app and see how they work.
So Much for pdanet+ says it's not supported by our carrier.

USB and bluetooth both work fine with foxfi (paid) on the phone and pdanet on the laptop. I suspect but haven't tried that pdanet on the phone in conjunction with pdanet on the laptop will work as well.
Foxfi, Tether It, and WiFi Tether Router are all working.
Just confirmed that pdanet on the phone with pdanet on laptop worked.

Hey there. Just a couple of questions. Do you have Sprint, unlimited data, the latest OTA, and was it on LTE?
I tried today, September 22 for the first time and almost immediately got the pop up. I have Sprint unlimited with latest OTA but was on 3G with the pop up.
I followed these directions which I think is the same, http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-enable-wifi-tethering-on-sprint-lg-g4-without-root/ but wasn't sure what they meant when they said, "f it works good but if you get a popup saying “Due to network issues, tethering has been disabled”, you need to follow the same steps again but instead of selecting Internet in the APN settings select ‘cinet.spcs’."
Thanks.
Brad
I've used WIFI Tether Router for several phones with great success.
I know all about the adding of ,dun to apns
But if you already have root Wifi Tether Router does not need any mods. It might also works on CDMA (roaming), where the ,dun trick does not.
It also might be less traceable by sprint.

I'm rooted and this app didn't work for me. Is there anything special I have to do? My mobile is set to Global. Does it need to be CDMA/LTE?

I think these are the only changes needed from default. I so happen to use no encryption (i.e. Open) and channel = 1 which I think is default.
Interface wlan0
method 2
firmware reload unchecked
I think everything else is default.
If you scroll to bottom of Configuration there is a Link to "devices configurations/website"
I had the Native tether working too and I removed the ",dun" mod from my APN's to test this.
Mine shows Build 165
Does SuperUser pop up to grant permission?
It might not work on roaming (CDMA), same limitation as the Native mod (i.e. adding ,dun).
Who-Hoo Wifi Tether Router works on roaming (i.e. works on non Sprint CDMA Networks). The adding of ,dun to APN's method only works on Sprint Networks (i.e. LTE and eHPRD). WIFI Tether Router works on everything. But you do need root.
Tested on rooted ZV6.
can someone please explain how to add ,dun to apn? ive looked online and see lines of provisional code being added. this was on a tmobile nexus 6 and i wasnt sure if thats the way for all phone. thanks in advance!
There is a video specific to the Sprint phone, where the guy walks through the steps one by one showing each step and result to add the dun info, though I don't recall if it was specifically the apn info that was modified?
Anyway, you need an app that can create shortcuts for hidden features of the phone, as explained on the guide. Install that app, that allows you to run the program built into the phone that lets you edit the thing to add the dun text and save it.
Sorry I don't recall the details, but it's another thread here about free wifi tether or hotspot.

Which hotspot method, Native (with ,dun added to APN's) or WIFI Tether Router?
I saw similar issue when trying to tether on Ev-Do it will connect for a moment and disconnect.
The APN method will not work on Ev-Do (usually that means roaming but not always).
Latest WIFI Tether Router will work on Ev-Do but requires root.

For starters don't use Auto. See OP.

so i checked my default and its what OP has aside from the ,dun thing.
I am having an issue with wifi tether router where it will connect for a while and then the wifi signal will stop on its own. I have to kill and restart wifi tether router to regain a connection. I am wondering if this is a heating problem as the phone gets fairly hot when using wifi tether router. Is there a way to reduce the wifi radio power on the G4?
Uncheck "Allow Wifi Scanning" in advanced wifi settings. Should stop the signal from going away.

Good catch !! WIFI Tether Router does warn you to shut that off if I recall.

Yes
So just had something weird happen want to see if anyone else ran into this. I just reset for the month yesterday and My Metro app is showing 1.3 gigs used (all tethered with app). While playing Xbox I get a message saying I have used all of my hotspot data. I checked data usage on Xbox I haven't even used a gig yet. Also they didn't throttle my data. Anyone know what's going on?
