I'm confused. I understand that Sprint charges extra to allow customers to enable tethering via their cell phones. And I understand that many rooted phones can have apps installed and/or enabled to allow tethering without any extra charge. (Please correct me if any of that is inaccurate.)
So what happens when I turn on the wifi hotspot on my new phone? Will it fail because I don't have a "tethering" option on my plan? Will it work, but add $30 to my monthly bill? Or will something else happen.
Same with the USB tethering? How does that work? And get billed?
This 3vo is the first phone I've had that offered these options.
You can use USB tethering without paying the $30/month fee. That's just for WiFi tethering. If you try to use the WiFi hotspot, it simply will just not work. You will not be charged.

Both wired and wireless tethering fail with the message to contact Sprint to upgrade your plan.
What about pdanet? I haven't had time to try it out yet.

This app is cheap and works great check it out here Also you CAN tether a wifi connection for free but not using mobile connection.
Tethering Roms
I found when you try to use either wireless or wired tethering build into the software, you get that error message and it also shuts down the 3g signal. You can still form an adhoc network wirelessly but no internet.
I'm looking for a Rom that unlocks the built in tethering. I just found Virusrom to do a good job. Any other roms you can recommend that just unlock the built in tethering functions?
When I activate wireless tether in the notification bar next to the wireless tether icon the phones says tethering or hotspots active this doesn't mean im paying extra for it does it?

No the built-in app does not automagically sign you up for a tethering plan.
Absolute_Zero thanks
wireless tether for root?
Is there any version of the wireless tether for root app that works with aosp? I know that cm7 roms have their built-in wireless tethering but it's not as feature rich

Wireless Tether 2.0.7 works perfectly on 3G or 4G. I use it on my ROM everyday.

Correct....you are wrong. There is a Tethering & Hotspot section for USB or wifi tethering under Wireless & Networks (also available via the notification power widget if added).
As DroidTh3ory said, there are versions of Wireless Tether that work as well if you want some of it's features like mac filtering and such.
Ah I apologize for my ignorance I thought that was Verizons tethering

I've tried a few versions on the 627 radio. Used to work on one of your sense roms Theory but this one shows no connectivity. The built in hotspot icon always shows up when I turn wireless tether for root on, is that normal?

I obviously don't have 4g in my house, I turn on hotspot and the phone says the xbox us connected, but the xbox won't connect to live.. Any help? Phones not rooted I'm using the built in hotspot, is that extra charge?
Yeah if you are stock not rooted you need to pay for it.

After install drivers you can do usb tethering. No need of router. Just a usb cable.
And after that you can google for uot.
I found a link to LG support tool,good idea ? Androidforums had the link or do you have something better for LG Usb drivers

can i use the onboard usb tethering on the s4 with out verizon charging me extra for tethering?
If you are rooted, then you can just download a tether app from the play store. If not, you can still find a app like PDAnet that will let you USB tether.
