OK, I have the Netflix app on my 3D and it works great with 3g or 4g but when I tether using the usb to the laptop, netflix wont play. Netflix says I dont meet the requirements.....huh????
what am I missing?
Mmm.... I do this all the time. What app are you using to tether? I'm using pdanet with no problems.

I'm using PDAnet also and 4g. Is there some setting I need to use?
BUMP BUMP and BUMP
I know exactly why.
Go to PDANet in the system tray, right click it.
Go to Settings > Hide Tether Usage > None
I'm not sure exactly why, but Netflix doesn't like when this is on.

It's a flash thing, but I have a question... Have you used the app "unbridled" or without hiding tethering for any length of time, and still not received the "blocked" message, tmobile blocked me, and I don't want them to breach my contract, or should I say accuse me of breach of contract. Hide tether doesn't look so fruitful on some forums, what do you think?

I see alot of people commenting that wifi tether doesn't work, or its incompatible with the stock kernel. Well I just wanted to post exactly how I got it to work.
How I got it running......
1. Get temp root by one of the methods in the forum. (I personally used Tilde88's method from the " yes another rootme thread in the dev section"
2. Download the wifi tether apk from the root/FAQ thread.
3. In the settings change profile to desire (cdma)
4. In settings apply check to box to fix HTC routing.
Wifi tether should restart and you should be in business. Thats all i did and I can stop and start it and the tether continues to connect to the internet. Hope this helps somebody.
EDIT. Thanks to quinxy....I forgot to mention the wifi tether will tell you that you don't have root, but proceed anyway when it ask's for superuser access. Not sure why it does that, but the app will work regardless.

ECELLENT... THIS is how i got my tethering to work also except i used a different root method..
i used the easy root script tp temp root, then just installed wireless tether pre14, works perfect for me.
Also got barnacle wifi to work after using the perma temp root. no special config needed. But will try wifi tether now since it had epa support.

google search is my friend, lol, first thing i did this morning to be exact .
You might want to update the first post to let people know that even if the WiFi Tether warns you on start that you're not root, and you know you are, it's ok, just proceed and start the tether. The SU app will then ask for super user permission. I spent 30 minutes trying to figure out why WiFi Tether didn't think I was root! I'd just bail out without trying to start tethering, since I thought it'd be pointless (since the app warning says it will!).

FYI - Barnacle Tethering app seems to have better speed for me.
I have noticed that ever since I rooted my Thunderbolt I cannot tether. All devices will connect to my phone(other phones, computers, xbox, etc) but they cannot open a web browser. It used to work on the hotspot ap that came with the phone. The only thing I can think of is that on the stock app, I could change the security to wpa/wpa2/wep. On this new app I cannot change, am I grasping at something that isnt there or is there something else that needs to be done?
help me pleas,e, my neighbors internet wont be there forever. , .
I've been rooted for some time and it may be coincidence but sense the last 4g outage last week my tethering has "limited access" wired or wireless. I'm using liquid 3.0.2 built in wired/wireless hotspot. wifi apps I've installed don't work either now??? Help

I noticed that the android wifi tether app states that it only works for 3G and 2G. I wonder if this is just a "canned" statement? Does anyone know, for sure, if it works for 4G tethering?
Yeah I did, neither the old or new one are getting more than limited access. Know idea what may have changed on the PC side? Nothing new or changed? Just the outrage on Verizons end last week. I'm baffled. I have tried a couple other Rome with the same results. Sucks pdanet is a third of the speed.
There's a bug with CM7 if your using it, I'm having the same problem. I have a none stock kernel with it but I can't using wifi-tether or the built in tether. Makes me want to switch to my sense ROM. :/

If you're running CM7 set your built in tethering to OPEN for security and run this version of wireless tether use the same name as the built in one and it'll work. I finally got it working a few minutes ago.
Thanks will give it a try when I get home.

Its been like this for a week now, does any one know the settings layout on the hotspot? Are theer any that could affect this?
I have rebooted my phone, switched airplane on and off. I then tested the speed on my phone and it is getting 4g, so the problem is with the hotspot.

Try changing the type of connection to Infastructure or Ad-Hoc. I don't remember which one it was, but one of these fixed a very similar issue for me.
So now that we have permroot, is there a wireless tether app that works? I tried the one here:
http://www.jonamerica.com/technology/the-htc-rezound-root-guide/
But although it starts, I don't see the ssid on my laptop. I think perhaps infrastructure doesn't work with that. I'd prefer to avoid ad-hoc.
So has anyone had success with a particular market or apk for wireless tether?
Thanks in advance!

Ive tried a couple versions of the usual Wireless Tether.apk, but I still only get wep as an option. Trying to find a way to get WPA2 to work.
I am using "Wireless Tether for Root Users" V2.0-7 and its working perfectly. None of the newer beta versions have worked correctly for me so far..
It seems to work in ad-hoc mode only though... but it works fine for me. I'm not using WPA either, I just leave it open with access control turned on.
Barnacle
I'm using Barnacle Wireless Tether from the app store and it's working EXCELLENT. Even brings over the 4G speed but is also working in Ad-hoc mode.

If its the link then try a differnet browser.
If its the app then make sure you go to settings and select MS Routing and Clamping. Something like that anyways...

New Wireless Tether
Barnacle
None will work. No signal comes out at all. The data counter will get to like .4kB and just freeze.

Some devices do and some dont detect ad-hoc networks. Until we get a custom kernel capable, and software to manipulate it, we're stuck with ad-hoc only, which works for like, 95% of devices that would need to connect to it.

I have been noticing that on the lg g4 and now the v10 that mobile my account shows small usage of mobile data but not the actual amount I used. I might just be a mobile thing.

I used all the same as the stock apn except I changed to ipv4...I assume you're rooted. Did you turn off the wifi scan setting under wifi?
Yes, I'm rooted and the scanning is off. I have even emailed the developer of the app. His last response was that I need a vpn.
There must be some sneaky software tracking whether you have tethering enabled. My Hotspot Data is being used/throttled no matter if I'm behind a VPN or tethering to another Android phone.
I'm rooted, removed all of the suspicious looking system apps, and set the APN settings to what I've always used before. I'm at the point of giving up and probably just going to use another phone to tether until a stable custom ROM is released.
I used to have this problem on my old Note 4 where the WiFi Tether app was working perfectly but Tmo was still tracking my data usage. The workaround that I found was to connect to a private VPN on my laptop. I used Private Internet Access to hide my IP and then I was able to tether off my phone with Tmo no longer capturing data used. I'm not sure if it will work on my new v10 though since I haven't gotten around to rooting it yet. I think there's a free Google Chrome extension that will do that same thing and for free. I forgot the name, sorry.
On my note 3 the guide I followed said I had to change the build file in a couple spots and then it worked perfect if that helps u guys out at all I really want this but can't use a vpn bc ps4 won't allow it with online gaming and my phone all I got out here in the woods

If you are on AT&T you may need to be rooted and delete a folder in system/app called ATTEntitle. It should fix Hotspot in 3rd party tether app or (Free) Native Android Hotspot in settings.

I think you CAN use Native Android Hotspot in instead of 3rd party tether but you need to change your "tether APN" to default "internet APN."
Maybe this thread can help http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...lopment/unrestricted-tethering-n920t-t3188301 But if you Try this you will want to monitor your data usage on T-Mobile website (or however you keep track). You don't want to run out of "tether data" if you can prevent it.
