I'm about to pull the trigger on a Verizon KeyOne. Wanted to make sure before I did that FoxFi or something comparable works with the KeyOne. I've been carrying around my S4 because that was the last Samsung I could get tethering to work and I've got a grandfathered unlimited plan.
Thanks in advance.

So I currently have a $35 3GB/month plan for the Xoom and unlimited data on the D3. The mobile hotspot app is $20 a month. Of course if we had root I could just tether and not worry about it, but I have a question.
I can't really find anywhere concrete, but is that hotspot capped at 2 GB? I feel like I've read this somewhere but can't confirm. It just makes sense to me to pay $20 (if not $0) instead of $35/month. I bought it contract free, I just like the idea of having internet on it without having to get the phone out.
It also seems like tethering is slower than if the tablet had its own connection. No LTE in my area, so the LTE upgrade still wouldn't help me (if it would hurry up and come out already, I've heard whispers, but no emails).
Thoughts?
I have the Tmobile $30 5gb prepaid plan. I was using the native tethering but it seems that Tmobile can detect when I'm tethering. When I visit some websites from the tethered laptop it forwards me to Tmobile upsale webpage telling me that I should purchase tethering plan.
Some of the websites that still works on the tethered laptop are:
Http://www.Google.com but the search results get forwarded.
Https://*
This is the first time I encountered with this issue on the nexus one with Tmobile.
Is this permanent or temporary? Is there any way to bypass? Or am I flagged by Tmobile?
I keep record of my usage and I usually use about 2gb per month.

Same issue :-/
Hi,
I have a rooted G2 with Andromadus Audacity Beta 3 and I have the same issue with T-Mobile. Does anyone know if T-Mo is actually able to detect native tethering? I work around for this will be greatly appreciated. I will rather not waste $14.99 a month in a unfair tethering charge when my data plan is still going to suffer tottering after 5GB. I think that money could better be donated to our developers.
I just got a Moto 2014 from Verizon with the Black Friday deal.
I love the phone, only thing i really want is to have Wifi tether without paying the $30 per month.
Can anyone please point me in the right direction.
I just got the 5.0 update as well.
So, you're asking how to break the terms of your contract?
As long as you're not on a legacy unlimited plan, you can tether for free.
I got my OG Moto X upgraded to a new Moto X. I'm on vzw unlimited and currently tether using PDANet bluetooth or USB. Unrooted.
How does tethering work on the Moto X (2014)?

WiFi tethering on an unrooted Verizon MX14 works the same as it does on any other unrooted Verizon phone - it depends on your plan. If you have a plan where WiFi tether is included for free, then you can tether for free. If your plan does not include free WiFi tether, then when you try to open the MHS, you will be offered the option to pay $30/mo for WiFi tether - the so called entitlement check.
If you root, you can bypass the entitlement check and tether for free.
If you don't want to root, you can turn the $30/mo WiFi tether feature off and on as much as you want in a month either online through your Verizon account or through the MyVerizon app on your phone and you will only be charged for the days you turn it on. If it is on for any part of a day, you will be charged for a full day of use. It is about $1/day to use it plus taxes and surcharges that vary based on your state.
As you already know, PDANet only allows for USB and BT tether on a MX14. If you are interested in free WiFi tethering on your MX14, check out the MoFo thread in this forum.
Wifi doesn't matter to me. Bluetooth or USB are just peachy, just wasnt sure if they worked on the new Moto X like they do the old one. You never know with vzw.

PDANet on 5.0 Lollipop worked on my Verizon MX14 the same as it did on my MX13 - USB and BT only. We are about to get an update to 5.1 and so only time will tell if that will be the case for 5.1.
A minor correction: VZW no longer allows you to add a tethering plan for $30 a month on a grandfathered unlimited plan. At least, that is what I was told when I tried to add it.

That's correct. You can change do literally jack **** when you have the unlimited plan.
I'm on an old grandfathered AT&T unlimited data plan and I can tether using my current jailbroken iPhone but it's starting to die and I'm looking at the Note 8 as a replacement. I see a lot of info about the Verizon plans, but can anyone confirm that if I buy an unlocked Note 8 from Samsung that I'll still be able to tether on AT&T? I gather that pdanet/foxfi no longer works so I also wonder if there's a way to hide the tether usage, and/or if AT&T even still cares about this.
Thanks!

Not trying to get off Subject but I was facing the same thing when I was about to buy my S8+. I had the grandfathered plan (in some form) since my old Palm Treo 650 and hated the thought of losing it. Then ATT came out with a new unlimited plan that has a 10gb/month hotspot for each phone, free texting & calling in US, Canada, Mexico. So I asked my family if they wanted to all be on the same plan so we share the $100. Access fee and the rest is cheaper too. The whole plan is cheaper for me than it was with the "limited" grandfathered in plan (every year ATT had been raising the price of the grandfathered unltd but what could we do? Nothing!). Plus I have DirecTV & get a $25. monthly credit and $17.99 monthly credit for HBO. I think streaming DirecTV on their app is totally not going against data usage (which can slow after 22GB). This is what finally made me give up the old plan.
I could not find any reliable way to otherwise tether. I never did root though. Now I have the N8 and I use the hotspot all of the time but not enough to reach 10gb/month. I do not work for ATT! Lol.

If you root it follow this thread. It will work. I bought a Verizon note 8 then switch to att sim. You will experience a little bug with phone calling. It will not place the country code leaving you with a number instead of contact name and volte and wifi calling will not work. You have to switch carriers on the phone using this method to fix everything:

After that root it and follow these steps to enable wifi tether:

Thanks, I looked into it and it doesn't make financial sense for me yet, but I'm sure it will eventually.

Thanks, I'm new here so bear with me.
I thought that since Verizon and AT&T use different networks, the phones were not interchangeable.
Is there a benefit to buying an unlocked Verizon phone as opposed to an unlocked AT&T phone?
Is rooting necessary? A number of people on here claim that using a factory unlocked phone allows them to tether W/O any modifications. Just trying to verify before I shell out $1k.

just buy unlocked and u can use and tether on any network
you can tether with anyones plan; if you are crazy and use 100's of gigs, then you should pay your way instead of stealing bandwidth from those of us that pay for what we use
