hello all, I pay for unlimited wifi tether but can only get it on the rez rom I keep getting errors whether I try to use the official vzw or the wireless tether app its quite frustrating anyone have a detailed solution? I would like to use an ics rom but the wireless tether absolutely wont work on it. I apologise if this was asked before but I did a fair amount of searching. thanks everyone
Scott's CleanROM2.1 has a working 4G hotspot. He's a paying user of it as well so of course it would work in his ROM. Wifi tether works in AP mode as well.

Yes, I've done the routing fix. WiFi Tether functions, it just doesn't function well. I seem to be topping out at 20KBps with 4G, which is obviously pretty bad. And a bummer, too, since I was so looking forward to ditching EasyTether (crashes all the time, doesn't handle loss of 4G well). Anyone else had some problems here, or better yet, found a solution?
Using viperROM at the moment, for reference.
Yes!
Can't get the stock hotspot app to work either. My laptop connects fine but no data?
SteelROM_v1.01
Don't you have to have something in your plan to use the stock hotspot app? I've never tried.
I can't get Wifi Tether to work at all.
But Sprint Hot Spot works fine. With a Hot Spot Enabled ROM of course.
Yeah, same here. WiFi Tether doesn't work at all, fails on the starting wifi interface.
HotSpot worked fine in an enabled ROM
Branacle works great for me.

What kind of speeds you getting?
And what ROM?
Ugh. Unlocked hotspot app is even less functional. Stupid thing prevents my 4G from connecting, same as USB tether does on Sense. So aggravating. This is the entire reason I rooted to begin with, and there's no workaround
Is USB tether an option? or have they figured out a way to bill for that too? And can it be done without root?
I would also like to know if this is possible without buying their plan. Either EasyTether, PDANet, or Tether.com something like that. I'm hoping one of those will work otherwise it's a no go for me. I NEED some kind of tethering capability.
Still no answer to this?
You're either going to have to pay for T-Mobile's tethering service, find a tether app that works, or root your phone and wait for a custom ROM.
This phone was just realeased and not everyone has had the time to tinker with it, nor are there a lot of developers or experienced people roaming this forum yet.
Im assuming there is no mobile hotspot either ?
USB tethering does work with the Amaze 4g with PDAnet. I can confirm it.
The question i have is if someone with a rooted 4g using barnacle is able to wifi tether.
I have my old SIM card in it and it tethers just fine. Acer Iconia and laptop.

Hmmm. My old Samsung phone tethers perfectly with PDAnet but Amaze does not.
Recognizes phone (black icon on PC) but refuses to believe tether is already enabled on phone.
Is it just me? Win7 home / BeastMod 2.2.0

I am running exact same setup. Make sure you have current drivers on your computer by installing htc sync. You may have to use a different user agent on your web browser to avoid the tmobile upsell page. Pdanet isn't necessary, just use tye built in tethering.

I don't understand why people just don't get the tethering option.
I broke down and upgraded to 10gb a month and it came with the wifi hotspot feature. And I NEED 10+gb a month. Currently I'm at 9.2gb and I still have a little over a week to go.

Ditto. They've (TMo US anyway) recently been giving free tethering/hotspot to anyone with 5gb or greater who asks, which is what I've got. And the built in tethering and hotspot both work great.
I've never gotten close to 5gb personally, but I just got the Amaze, and it is so much faster than my HD2 was (or even my cable) that I've basically been leaving WiFi off.

Actualy what tmo been doing is not giving away free tether but changing your data plan.and getting you to sign up for one of their 5gb or more plans.
I tried to get the free hotspot but I'm on a grandfathered unlimited data plan, and I'd be down graded to either the 5 or 10 gb.
And fyi I am very sure, just like the other carriers flow can tell if you are cheating, as in WiFi/tether hack. My rooted g2x had "free" tether, thoguh and never heard from tmo about it.

Thanks so much! Firefox "user agent switcher" add-on got the job done, now that wifi hotspot works, I do not need USB tether.
I use very little data and only tether very very sparingly, so really don't see the need of upgrade.
Hey all -
My friend just bought an HTC Rezound to with a 2GB (4GB due to their current promo) data plan. He plans on using it as his main internet connection at his house over the summer because up there, they don't have cable internet or DSL available. Anyone have any input on what the best setup (ROM wise and app wise) would be for him to achieve this? I'm a little worried because I've seen some people saying Verizon can charge you for teathering (I'm currently on Sprint and have never had this problem on a rooted device) even if you use are rooted and use a 3rd party app. Is that true? If he has a custom rooted ROM, and uses something like android wi-fi teather, he should be fine right? How could they tell the data is going to a desktop vs. being displayed through his phones browser?
Anyone?

I really don't think you can tether for free with any of the ROMs out now. I just came from a droid 3 and could tether after hacking the radio, but haven't seen anything like that for the rezound. Tethering does come in handy once in a while. Anyone have any success tethering for free?

I believe there are at least two threads that deal with this at xda, so search "rezound wifi tether" on Google and you should get many hits. Search is your friend.
However, the long and the short is, GB ROMs will allow adhoc wifi tethering and ICS ROMs allow infrastructure tethering.
If you don't understand the difference, I wouldn't suggest messing with your friend's Rezound until you've done some research.

There are currently no wifi hotspot hacks to allow what your friend is looking for. If he's smart he'll pay for wifi hotspot and get unlimited data in the process(plenty of info on that). Otherwise as stated above, ad-hoc tether is available for GB and infrastructure tether for ICS.

So are you saying that VZW can tell if you use ad-hoc or infrastructure tether? I canceled my mhs because it was basically useless. Haven't asked for a refund since I figured I was getting what I paid for a little at a time and I thought they didn't know...

Nope, I was just saying that there isn't a hack for free MHS. You can only do 1-to-1 device tethering without MHS. As far as we currently know ad-hoc and infrastructure tethering is still not detectable.
I know At&t was pulling "We know you are tethering" claims with all the iPhone users when I was with them. That said I don't see how they could claim this with android with the option to use Firefox+Phony to change how you see the webpage.
I tether all the time for free
A friend of mine recently purchased a Razr Maxx xt912. He has a unlimited data plan and wants to make use of the tethering ability without having to pay Verizon the extra 20 a month. He last phone was the Droid X2. Which I rooted and bootstrapped and loaded CM7 onto it he loved it wants me to do the same with his Razr. My question is, Does anybody actually know the method of how Verizon determines if your trying to tether? I thought it may have been something built into the stock ROM, but that doesn't make sense since you can get a tethering app and it bypasses that security check. My other questions are, Which ROM should I try and which is the most reliable he is a paramedic and uses hes phone actively for the job. I have read that CM7 does make one for Razr, but I cannot find it on these forums.
Download Foxfi from the market. Works like a charm.
Yes, FoxFi... it's free and it works. Not exactly like a charm... occasionally, I have to shut the hotspot off and restart it once or twice before my tablet sees it. But overall, it's a great app, gives me good speed, and once connected, a stable internet connection. With a strong 4G signal, I'm consistently 25mbps+ down.
You know Koush right? Here's some information about his Wifi-Tether app: http://goo.gl/5dkha
It is said that the provider doesn't notice that you're tethering with this app, it's being logged as a normal mobile connection.

That's a USB tether, not a wifi tether...
FoxFi is a free wifi tether app.
Thanks for the advice. I will try foxfi first.

Foxfi works great. Also you don't even have to root his device for it to work. It works without needing root.
+1 for Foxfi. Works as described.
If it's only a single device, laptop, iPad, etc. why not just use bluetooth PAN??
Free, easy and take less battery than WiFi.
wow! staring me in the face & i never thought of it. has anyone tried this, i don't have time now.
I have an exhibit t599n I have installed at least 3 roms to see if I can bypass this provider but every time I go to tether I get a message from the provider saying I have to pay an additional 10 dollars to tether whats up with this what are all these roms doing they sure are not working for what its soposed to do bypass the provider.Can someone tell me if im doing something wrong. thanks in advance
Cyonagenmod has a free tether and WiFi spot enabled right in the rom. I am running cm11 m10. I use metro pcs which puts a 5gb limit on data in order to get the WiFi hotspot. But, I have the unlimited 4g lte plan AND hotspot. Thank you cyanogenmod!!!!
