So I got my Thunderbolt Rooted. I have the unlimited data plan for the TB. What WiFi app can I use with my XOOM WiFi so I don't get nabbed?
Just use Wireless Tether. What do you mean nabbed? Tethering only raises eyebrows if you are using obscene amounts of data, at which point your service gets throttled. Otherwise, it just shows up as data usage.
Verizon wants to charge $20 for me to make my phone a hotspot using the app that came preloaded. (Mobile Hotspot)
The app on the Thunderbolt is free until May 15th use it while you can hehe plus BT tethering is free and requires no root.

using wireless tether, BT tethering won't work between the two. They can pair but not connect. The bluetooth option on the TB is greyed out.

Foxfi works fine for me. When you get the pop up telling you to contact att press the home button instead of tapping ok. The hot spot stays active this way

It stays active but did you actually connect to it and surf the Internet?

Foxfi doesn't work on and it connects but surfing the Internet is a no go we need an alternative.

Yea with a grandfathered unlimited plan so an actual tethering plan from at&t isn't offered to me. I'd be more than happy to pay the small fee if it were even offered though...

Yesterday I tried feverishly to get foxfi to work with no luck even doing it exactly as op had done. So now I see this thread and figure okay ill try again.... and guess what.... it worked... The only thing I can think of that I didn't do yesterday is I rebooted the phone this morning. ..

I use EasyTether and it works great for my needs.
You have to enable USB Debugging mode in order for it to work. I had a heck of a time finding it, so here is a quick howto...
From home, press "Apps" menu, press "Settings", press "General" tab, press "About Device", press "Build number" seven consecutive times and you should get messages about having "Developer Mode" being turned on. That's it!
Hit back and you should now see a new "Developer options" selection in the menu. Press "Developer options" and just check mark "USB debugging" if you want to enable it.
Does EasyTether support wi-fi tethering or mobile hotspot?
$.01 via NOTE 3

No, only USB and Bluetooth... I haven't found a non-root solution for WiFi yet.
You can Bluetooth tether it to another android device/tablet...
FWIW, Foxfi is working on my AT&T GN3. As others have said, just hit the home button when the popup appears. Also, I've noticed when connecting with my laptop, full internet isn't available for the first 30 seconds or so, so just give it time...
Subscribed for Samsung Wifi HotSpot Option = )
yep confirmed working with foxfi, the thing is I always need to setup the password everytime I activate the foxfi to work the secured wpa2

Confirmed working with FoxFi without issues with password with everything saving.

Do you need root to use Foxfi for tethering? This is to use the note 3 as a hotspot right?....meaning that I am connecting my other tablets to the note 3 and using its lte data?

Did you guys try any tethering widget?? for AT&T Galaxy S4 wifi tethering doesn't work directly but if you install any tethering app it will work.
Here is the one I've tried from Play store and its free.
'Tethering Widget' by HI-DEVELOP
Install the app and look for 'Tethering (full)' .
once you add this widget click thering widget(make sure you click the Wifi icon not the USB icon'.
This should enable wifi tethering.
Let me know if it works or not..
Now that we have root, can we just freeze tetheringProvsion under titanium backup & use the native app?
Does having Viper enable free wifi tethering or do I need a mod for that? I'm all for paying for things but atts rates for tethering are ridiculous.

I have the Galaxy Note III on T-Mobile, but it's AT&T branded. Are there any workarounds to get mobile hotspotting through my carrier without rooting?
Give the free version of Foxfi a try.
There's a data cap, but you can just disconnect and reconnect then keep going.

I used the app... app quarantine from playstore and froze the tethering provisions. Rebooted phone and working fine. I have an AT&T note 3 but have tmobile service.
