Hello. Just looking to know if the wifi tether router app works with the galaxy s6 edge for verizon that's rooted. If it does can someone list their setting gs and procedure to make it work
I apologize that I put this in the wrong section. Could an administrator place it in the right spot? Thanks.

if you look around a bit on the vzw s6 forum there is a modified .zip you can flash in flashfire to enable native tethering.. why not just use that?

Excuse my ignorance, but I have the full ability to tether from my device natively without any modification. Are we talking unlimited tether? Because the Verizon Hotspot app allows for tethering with no issue. Am I missing something? Is that not on every s6 edge?
Here's what I got going on. I have an app radio 3 in my car by pioneer. To be able to use the touch screen and to mirror my phone to the app radio, I need to use a Google Chromecast, and the app radio unchained reloaded app. With this in mind, when I use the native tether that comes with the phone, it disables wifi. Now my chrome cast is connected to the net like it's supposed to, but it doesn't see my phone cause the phone isn't on the same network. Make sense? Using the Wifi Tether Router App, it keeps wifi enabled so my phone is acting like a hotspot which the chrome cast connects to, AND allows my phone to also see the chrome cast. Hope that isn't too confusing.

wifi tether means you share your phones data connection with another device.. what you mean (correct me if im wrong) is to share your phones data connection AND have wifi on to connect it to your pioneer? have you tried the way you used it on other devices? howd you set it up before?

I figured it out. The stock tether that is native to the s6 galaxy edge works fine. I was going about this all wrong with the chromecast app. I don't need any of the fancy apps like foxfi or wifi tether router, etc.... So all is now good. I was an idiot to not figure it out sooner. Thanks.

I hated that that interface with a passion! Bought it a while ago and put it in my H3. Worst buy ever. Connection start to not connect after awhile and apps seemed to never work half the time.

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 &
USB Tether Lite. Respond with a little more details.

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.

So what your saying is, your using BT PAN linking your watch to your phone but you want to use WIFI instead of your cellular data for BT PAN? That works but only with certain BT PAN apps. If I understand your question correct.

Tethered via Bluetooth, using phones wifi instead of data. Works fine with international roms, but with some carrier branded ROMs, if tethering is enabled, wifi is disabled
Gear itself has no wifi, but apps can be tricked into thinking Bluetooth tether is actually a wifi connection via the network spoofer (closed framework module)

So we established there are no apps that will share the wifi internet via bluetooth and that the switching off of wifi during tethering is an automated function. So is there a way to prevent that auto-switch from occurring?
At any rate, if you have the galaxy note 3, and you have a USB 3.0 computer, just tether the internet from USB. Great for when at home, but the downside of this is: if you want to reverse tether from wifi in an airport or coffee shop, then a laptop is required. And at that point, what would you be doing on the watch, that isn't easier on either your phone or laptop, now that you're forced to already have those items out?
Therefore, it would be nice to tether wifi to bluetooth so I can just leave my phone in my pocket and not be forced to use mobile data when I don't want to.

Depends on rom. Most (if not all) international roms can use phone's wifi with Bluetooth tether
Spoofer Module?

This "Closed Framework Module" your refer to, what is it's actual Module Name (I can't seem to find it among the many avaialbel Xposed modules).
I have Comcast.. sadly not an option for me to change ISPs. I am in the one of the few lucky areas that has a data cap on streaming.
I also have T-Mobile where I have unlimited uncapped streaming for Netflix.
I am wondering is there a way on an rooted Android Device (my case a Nexus 7 or Galaxy S5) that I can use my T-Mobile LTE line to stream netflix onto my Chromecast (2014) without going through my Comcast/Wifi connection?
Maybe this would work by turning on phone hotspot then connecting both chromecast and tablet to hotspot. Cast from tablet.

This worked. I had a phone signal today so tried it. I set up hotspot on N5, connected my N9, then had to set up the new network (I unplugged my router) via Chromecast on N9 using the hotspot. I opened Netflix, started a video, then cast it.
You can use your phone as a Hotspot, but you still need to have WiFi on to use the apps.

I haven't tried the bluetooth feature yet. I use the USB tether because of the internet share feature when using USB and the PDAnet software on my laptop. I still need WiFi for other devices such as my TV and Rand McNally Truck GPS. PDAnet was a big save for me when I could not root.
Do you have any connection drops using bluetooth? I lose bluetooth connection to my speaker system about once a day.

Yes.. I have notice connection drop using Bluetooth. Not sure why? If I need phone charge I use USB tether. Your right WiFi has other benefits like for multi devices. I'm a big fan of WiFi but Bluetooth or USB tether will do for now.
I rarely use WiFi on Rand McNally Truck GPS. I use my phone app to stay up to date with the weather.

Did you know that if you use USB Tether on PDAnet that you can use the WiFi Share (beta) on the PDAnet software on your computer. It seems to work very well. Only problem I have had is it shows up for bluetooth as an option also, but I can't seem to get it to work with bluetooth. I get an error 19.
edit: I just got WiFi sharing to work with BT. Had to reboot the computer.
Awesome!! I just tried it and it work. I connected my Rand McNally truck GPS thru WiFi Share (beta) using USB tether than I tried BT and WiFi Share on my laptop worked as well. Now we have USB Bluetooth and WIFI using only PDAnet.

Ok. The most recent version is G930PVPU2APC5. This update locked down the apn settings. It would be interesting to hear if anyone on the current software version can still use pdanet for wifi hotspot.

I took the update and PDAnet still works. PDAnet does nothing with the APNs. Instead you have to install PDAnet on both the phone and PC. The wifi hotspot is on the PC side using PDAnet software to do the share.

Yes. Usb tether works this way. And to tether through a pc and use the pc to create wifi. However, pdanet will also activate the native wifi hotspot capabilities of the phone itself. When I open pdanet+foxfi and hit "Activate wifi hotspot" it turns on the wifi hotspot of my phone. No pc involved.

You are correct the FoxFi part of PDAnet does have WiFi but it only works for us if we are paying for the hotspot and it then uses our allocated hotspot data. ie. I pay for 6gb a month and it will use that up. With that being the case I might as well just use it directly from the phone and not use FoxFi. If you are not paying for hotspot I do not believe it will work. If I'm wrong I'd like to know though.

You're right. It's been so long since I have used an non rooted phone. Been getting free hotspot for years. Right now I have altered my apn settings for the free hotspot.

I tried to activate Wifi hotspot PDAnet on the phone but it gave me "Hotspot Error" You are not subscribed to the Hotspot Service. Fail to activate Hotspot. Me paying an extra monthly fee for Wifi is not going to happend. This is why we need root among other things. If your Hotspot Wifi is activated on your phone then there is no need for PDAnet
It seems to have the same problem regular hotspot does for me after update. Keeps asking me to purchase plan. Have to reboot and quickly turn on. Glad that works our I'd be sol. Anyone else have a reliable method? My APN settings are locked out also now.

Even if paying for Wifi, PDAnet does still help (not with wifi but with USB or BT tether) by not using up are allotted data. I go through my allotted data rather quickly. I'm an over the road driver and use internet for many things to include weather on my truck gps, normal things such as email and system updates, and for entertainment (Games and movies).

I'm OTR myself and I know what you mean. I use my laptop for everything its my entertainment system. TV, movies, software, games I rely heavily on tethering my laptop with my phone. I even D/L movies and save them for later where there is no Internet like the Rockies. Thumbs up for PDAnet 2 thumbs up when root is here.
I'm thoroughly aggravated. I have Boost mobile plan with a hotspot. As I live on a houseboat, it's very important to me and 8gb isn't enough. A Boost rep gave me foxfi info. But I get error that my provider won't allow hotspot so I must tether or bt. Now I downloaded foxfi on ex who has Boost but not a hotspot. He can use the option of Foxfi hotspot,tether, or bt. I'm thinking of buying separate phone just for this.
Please verify with me is foxfi working with sprint gs7? I am thinking of upgrading and need to know what phone to get. please advise, anyone?

I am the same. Not so much movies, but all sorts of software. If I had to rely on my laptop for visual entertainment as well, I don't think it or me could handle it. I already fill up 5 virtual desktops, switch between windows and Linux and would punch my own mother in face for, like, 500% more screen space, or even just the ability to lower the dpi or increase the resolution past 1366x768... But currently, even with an alfa 36N and 9dBi antenna, the WiFi here is just plain ****. The burger King WiFi accross the street is better, but I can't can never get the login page to come up. so my phone is my sole Internet source.
I will say one thing, I really regret going with the nougat beta. I've been meaning to revert back so I can reroot because the Hotspot was unlimited and much more stable. That and the beta is super sluggish, at least for me. Some of the newer features were cool, but not nearly worth giving up root. But I let it get to the point where backing up and making the switch back will be an a 6 hour engagement, and I keep putting it off.
Amazing thanks
Alright I have a rooted nexus 6 and am able to use the hotspot feature. Basically what I want to do is use the Chromecast without a WiFi connection and instead use the hotspot. However, I can't get this to work since I obviously can't connect my phone to its own hotspot. Any ideas?
Edit: I have no problem with rooting the Chromecast but I don't know how to do it so I will need a tutorial for that.

if you have another device that has wifi capabilities available temporarily, you can do this very easily. Turn on your hotspot on your phone, then run the chromecast app on the other device (another phone, tablet, or laptop using google chrome browser with the chromecast extension). Then just follow the instructions from the chromecast app as you normally would.
