I wondering if the Tether Hack using the RadioComm will work on the Droid4. I tried it, but could not get the app to detect the phone.
Also I enabled Verizon's Tether, and it seems to be giving me tether at no extra cost, I'm not sure, but the message when I activated it said, as long as you have a data play $29.95 or greater. Other wise you had to upgrade planes. Well I had the unlimited data plane so I continued with the set up, then when to Verizon to check my bill, and I don't see any additional cost as of yet. So I'm curious, is version charging to use Tether ?

When I looked into it, the cost was supposed to be $24/mo for tethering. I just rooted mine and installed the Wifi Tether 3.1 beta 11 apk and it works fine so I would not chance attempting to use Verizon's app just because it seems likely that even if you don't get charged right off the bat, they might get wise and decide to charge you in the future.
Foxfi in the market works perfectly on D4. No root required

x3, except I get the Verizon "Tethering or hotspot active" notification. I haven't gotten a warning or paywall screen and my bill hasn't changed so hopefully that isn't cause for concern.

"That behavior it does is normal. The stock app is just a modified version of the aosp built in tethering mechanism. So when AWT sets the prop that tells the system that tethering is on the stock app gets triggered. Even cm7 on thrill does this."
This quote is from tekahuna (a developer of android wifi tether) on gtalk.
I asked him the same question.

Sweet! Thanks for asking him. That's a big relief.
Yeah, the mobile hotspot pops up for everyone (but not always which is odd)... it will not affect your bill because VZW can't say anything if you're not using their app.
The settings that I'm using on 3.1 beta11 are as follows:
Device - Motorola Razr
Setup - Auto
Not using encryption and everything else is however it comes set.
Part of your problem is probably that you're using an older beta. Here's the link for the one I'm using (just add the Http:// because I haven't posted enough to link):
code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta11.apk&can=2&q=
Wifi Tether 3.1 here. First thing installed post-root. Working beautifully.
Using the built in tether with the entitlement_check hack from bionic, working great
so is it free or what
My wife has the Droid 4 and I love the 4g service (up to 20mbps in my area). We use the wifi tether for our xoom. So if we use the vzw stock wifi tether app we will be charged? And if I use a 3rd party app like fox fi for instance it will b free of charge? Or can we edit the radio with Radiocom like the d3? I have my d3 changed over. And would it help if we rooted the d4?

I wanted to do it this way to. I had it working for DROID3. Tried it on the DROID4, but could not detect it in Radiocom.

Wait, what? They added tethering to your plan without any warning?

You can say that or you could say they warned me not. The pop up warning said you can not use WiFi tethering unless you have a $29.95 data plan or greater. Well I have that plan for unlimited data. So I thought I was good.what they mean is in conjunction with there will be a $30 teather charge.
I pressed continue thinking I was good because of my data plan.

I've never seen this message, and I just logged into my account and it shows no usage for Connect/Hot Spot. It does show usage for Data, but it doesn't separate tether from phone data usage.
Sweet. The only roadblock to getting this phone was making sure I could tether
With a data plan...Should/is the option to start a mobile hotspot from the N7 3g present?
I'm interested to know the same thing. If we don't get a definitive answer by early next week I'll test and post my results here as I'm hoping my N7 3G will have arrived by then.

Yeah, i'm switching from a "broadband" t-mobile hotspot i wonder if it will work. Otherwise it's off contract and i can add it to my plan.

The option wasn't present out-of-the-box for me, but you can activate it with the hack on

Sorry to ask what is probably an obvious question but are you confirming that the hack works for you or that tethering works for you without the hack?

That it works only when the hack is applied. But you still cant torrent on AT&T without proxying.
So I kinda recently got my Note 3, and in the past I have had the s4, running on international rom, which apparently has tethering built in so how can i tether for free on my note 3?
thanks!!
Until we get son roms, I'm not sure unless there is an xposed module to do it

So you are asking how to steal a service you are supposed to pay for through your data plan? As others have said, right now you can't do it. If you are with AT&T, the system and the phone actually check each other to verify your current account and data package allow for tethering and with AT&T only their 5GB plan allows tethering.

thanks a lot bro
ahh so i have a n910t3 rooted on dok2 tekxodus . erm. so is there anyway to get unrestricted tethering with this, i dont care if i have to switch roms ,firmware/bootloaders ,versions whatnot or anyway to switch to n910t? , just wondering if it was possible . sorry im a nub and thank you (also was using pdanet for faster tethering but i think they slowed me down??) not sure on that thought i got 10mb now its like 500kbs to 1mb idk maybe i just seen it wrong but it seems slower lol. ah shucks may have to buy a new phone ehh
I tried asking a while ago in Maximum overdrive, and never got an answer, just people trying to explain what speeds tmo was giving with tether. I have tried barnicle and pdanet and they wont even work on my phone. I know there was an app i used to use on my s4 for unlimited tethering. It seems to me that one of the tethering apps should be able to mask its connection and appear to tmo as just our device, for full speed 4g.
So anyone who has any suggestions please chime in, lol.
I have a rooted Note 4 on Verizons Grandfathered Unlimited Data plans and I use hotspot tethering every day.
Is it safe to say that this will not be possible on the Note 8?
THank you for any input.
If you root you can remove tethering flags, alternatively most roms have them removed. Don't know about the options without root, maybe someone else will chime in on those.
If you search the s8+ threads there have been posts about Hotspot without root being successful...I'm going to try the same methods when I get my black unlocked note 8 for sprint...if I find the threads later, I'll update this with the link.

I'm rooted and got tethering to work, but did you ever find an alternative to be able to tether without rooting? This 80% battery issue kind of gets me. I don't mind being stock for now if I could find a tethering method that works. FoxFi is a no go. I haven't tried flashing unlocked firmware. I'm a little afraid to. I heard the coverage might not be as good. Any thoughts?

Not STEALING bandwidth...just sharing what we are already paying for with our laptops...
fine, as long as you are only "sharing" the amount of gigs that you actually pay for..if thats the case, then why is this thread titled "carrier undetected"? If you aren't stealing or violating TOS, then why does it have to be "carrier undetected"?
