Just wanted to check before I update - does the N6 tethering Trick (pull SIM card before turning on hotspot) work in Marshmallow, or is the build.prop etc edit the only option?

It's there a way to use tethering without AT&T notice the usage. I know that is related to how the data package are processed by the phone and the size. I always use the USB thering. My wife use the Wi-fi thetering and she don't receive any notification.
Help, they want to change my plan to the 4gb, because that's the only plan that the customers can use thetering.

I am sure they have pitfalls in place that will flag if a user crosses X ammt of data usage. no telling what those are but I ahve been using various tether apps for a while and never flagged. on Sprint I used Tetherberry with my blackberry. this was a USB tether. I am now using a wifi tether app (cannot post link cause of my noob status) and I like this one. allows me to do wpa/Psk or to do access control with unsecured network. will be fun to use on for my tablet in the airports. but on teh code.android site it is android-wifi-tether.
I recommend this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17697118
Thanks

No problem.
Hi,
I'm currently having difficulties with WiFi hotspot on my HTC One. I really like this phone, however I am THIS CLOSE to selling it. I've had HTCs in the past and the hotspot function was never an issue with these previous phones.
I am running MaximusHD 20.0.0
The WiFi hotspot OCCASIONALLY works with security disabled, however even then it is very tempermental
I usually appear to have connected (showing up as a connected device on the phone end) however it never seems to show full connection on the PC end (i.e. limited connection and no internet access or connecting times out altogether)
I have tried with multiple computers with no success
Any ideas? Appreciate the help in advance.
Cheers,
Dave
Does anyone have any ideas for trouble shooting? Is anyone else facing the same issue? Can anyone else report their WiFi hotspot working without any issues at all?
Works just fine for me, try it with another ROM (I'm ARHD), and try using the stock hotspot setting found in "more" category of your settings. Also, your carrier may be blocking it.

Is this an extra feature that you have from your carrier? Or do they not know you're tethering? Or you have the wifi hotspot as part of the regular usage for your plan?
Have you tried the google weireless tether apk instead of the stock wifi hotspot?
Is there a tethering guard.apk in your system apps?

Thanks for the replies people.
I was on ARHD and had issues there as well. Also I only ever use the stock WiFi hotspot, the HTC one.
I'm with BOOST Mobile, a MVNO on the Telstra Australia network. I have been informed on a local forum that tethering is not restricted with our plan/deal, so there should be NO issue from the network end. Mobile internet works without any problems.
I'll have to look at that, the Google Wireless Tether apk, hadn't thought of that, will report back.
What is that? I had a look through the ALL APPS section in settings and couldn't see anything like that, tethering guard apk...

EDIT: USB tethering is also not working. Is that significant?

Could it have anything to do with my firmware version NOT matching the ROM I am currently using?
As an update:
It appears that going S-Off and upgrading firmware to match my ROM (now on InsertCoin latest) has fixed the issue. Will report in detail once I can test properly.

Is there any S beam like feature in our phone. If we touch both the phone from back and it make a Wifi direct connection to transfer stuff. I am sorry I am new to Sony I've only used samsung and htc.

Under wireless and networks there's something called android beam, make sure you have that on (both devides) and also the NFC toggle, make sure that's on. Once you have that on you can proceed to transfer files using NFC as you would with you Galaxy phone. When you tap them (back to back) you will be prompted to select what you want to send; and then bluetooth takes over.

I'm on the M developer preview with the stock m kernel. And radio. I have the settings option and have reset my APN. Also, i have no service down in the caves, so i know it has to use Wi-Fi. Not sure where to go from here. Had same problem on sinless ROM. Thanks.

I am having the same problem on 5.1.1. I know Wifi Calling works because I seen it turn on at the hospital but at home nothing. I'm currently trying to tinker with my router to see if anything is causing it to fail or not. There is talk of opening up TCP and UDP ports on your router and disabling SIP ALG on your router. Seems to work for some and not for others. I am one of those others where its not working so far.

I thought it has been reported to be working on the Google M preview with T-Mobile. Did you do full wipe and format user data?
I am fairly confident it depends on your router settings because Wifi Calling works great when I was at a fast food joint today that offered free wifi with a username and password.
When I 1st upgraded to 5.1.1 everything seemed to work, now I can't get wifi calling to come on. Using at home with same router....it stopped working for me 100%
I finally got it working today. After reading the internet I needed to enable IPsec pass through and SIP pass through in my Asus RT-N65u router. I also setup QoS for the various ports that T-Mobile and it finally works. Took me a full week to figure it out.

Hey guys.
I got a note 4 and was going to transfer all my files from my old phone to this using shareit app that basically creates a personal hotspot to transfer files.
Now the problem is I cannot transfer any files.Shareit can't turn on wifi hotspot.Also wifi hotspot can't be activated without having a sim card.
I use shareit alot and sometimes play games with my friends using Lan so I really want it to work.
And I'm on latest epk2 and rooted.

If you have xposed installed you can grab( x tether) module from xposed downloads and activate it then reboot.
This will unlock hotspot permanently like international model. By the way hotspot cannot be activated without SIM card otherwise it will greyed out.
Thanks i will try that
Edit : Thanks that worked.
