I have tried searching and trying several of the offerings. The one I liked that worked real well on my SG Tablet 7" was this one Android Wifi Tether
The problem with this one is when I turn off the tether, and go back to wifi, I have to power reset to get the wifi to work again.
I know, I tried switching wifi off/on in the manager, but no luck.
So who has found a functional wifi tether. My gNote is rooted.
Really.?

What's wrong with the built in tether app that you enable/disable from settings > wireless & network > tethering & portable hotspot ? That one seems to work great for me.

Do you know if that is undetectable if you have the tethering manager froze? Maybe it is I never thought to try it.

Not sure if it is, but will let you know. I just rooted mine last night and deleted the tetheringmanager.apk. I used the WiFi Hotspot this morning to connect my laptop for about 30 minutes. Have not received any "Cease and Desist" notifications as of yet.
So has AT&T caught anyone yet? I carry an iPhone 4 and sometimes a TouchPad with me so I would like to be able to tether without paying extra. I have a grandfathered "unlimited" plan and I don't see why AT&T can't allow me to tether if I never go over their "unlimited" 3GB cap...
You won't get caught unless you are using ridiculous amounts of data. Its crazy how they even try to charge you $50 a month for a 5GB data plan and "THE ABILITY" to tether off your "OWN" data plan lol. The guy offered me that plan when i got my Note. I chuckled and said common man are you serious? It looked confused. AT&T for ya lol.

I am on the grandfathered unlimited plan. I was told it was 5gb before any throttling of speeds. I was extensively tethering on my LG eXpo and never contacted or 'offered' to switch to a new plan. Did a couple of times with my Thrill and same result. Still nothing from yesterday's wifi hotspot trial. Have already ate up 1gb since acquiring this phone on SAturday. (lot of speed tests and loading of apps) so going tk take it easy and use wifi for a while. Max i ever used was 2.5 gb with the eXpo, so that is probably why i was never 'caught'.

I used to tether my iPhone 4 a lot but haven't done it in over 6 months so I didn't know if they were any better at detecting tethering since all of those "5%" of users have been getting throttling messages.

check out Barnacle, i used to use it and it keeps track of how much data you have used per session and whos connected to your hotspot.. real easy to use
Someone suggested Foxfi Software. That wotks great no root required.

Probably not. I wouldnt be surprised if they open up the flood gates to tethering now that they have effectively killed unlimited data. If I were AT&T I would encourage tethering to rack up more fees! (Perhaps they just want to make up for it up front, who knows!)
I do moderate tethering and dont have any nastygrams in my inbox yet.

It just works didn't do anything special. I am rooted and used TitBu to freeze the tethering manager apk.
Try PDANet
PDANet works great USB from stock ATT Note to laptop. Laptop does not have bluetooth. Must have PDANet on both laptop and Note. Totally free.
Sent from laptop via 4G data from ATT stock Note.
Yes, ATT can detect tethering very easily. Do they care with the new throttling policy in place? I don't think so. ATT policy is "If you are in the top 5% of data users in your coverage area, your data speed will be throttled."
I fought the good fight with ATT (5 telephone calls) to keep my unlimited data plan so I could continue receiving data for free (abeit at a slower speed) if I ever went into the "top 5%".
I tethered my jail-broken iphone for past 2 years. Tethered data to laptop only when in my RV. Never went over 1 gb data used in billing period. Never got nasty email.
Of course, with huge screen of Note (unlike iphone) I probably won't feel the need to tether to laptop too much anymore.

I use about 3GB - 4.5GB per month on unlimited data plan. The only texts I've gotten from AT&T was the "Top 5% of users" text. Other than that, nothing on the tethering.
I have a rooted phone with the tetheringmanager.apk uninstalled. Does anyone know if there is a way to add a shortcut to the menu item 'Settings>Wireless and Network>Tethering and portable hotspot'?
It is a slight, but noticeable pain to have to navigate there every time I feel like hopping on my laptop to watch netflix.

Hey guys noob here. New to android altogether.
I just recently switched over to the S2 from the Iphone 4.
I just rooted the S2.
On the Iphone 4 I used MyWi and PDAnet for tethering but recently AT&T here in the USA has detected it so here I am on the S2, because I have heard that with some APP I can tethering wirelessly undetected (well for now anyways)
What are you guys using to tether wireless on these androids? specifically the gingerbread.
I see it comes with the wifi hotspot straight from the factory, but I assume thats detectable.
Thanks!
I have been using the built in native tethering on my SGS2 since May 5-ish. Haven't received a notice about my excessive usage thus far. I have hit 20GB once, and still haven't been notified by ATT, so you are good to go. I have used the built in tethering function excessively on 2 different lines.
well thats good news. Im on AT&T here in ORLANDO, FL. Got a notice from ATT via text and email last month regarding my tethering on the iphone 4 with MyWi. Called them and they said stop tethering and I can keep it, but if they detect it again I lose the unlimited data plan. So i switched over to this S2 hoping to stay under the radar!

Hi all- just picked up a SGSII (upgraded from an iPhone 4) and have been experiencing issues with the hotspot/wifi tether feature.
I can connect to the hotspot just fine from my iPad 2, MacBook Pro, and also have tried this on an IBM Thinkpad. After a minute or so (sometimes less), the hotspot just stops working. It shows that I am still connected, and the browser on the phone works just fine, but the connected device just won't work, eventually timing out. I need to then restart the hotspot all together for it to work again for 30s-1min..
This has been consistent from when I bought the phone (stock, obviously), through now (rooted)..
it looks like this is a recurring issue for some people, including other carriers, countries as you can see from the link below:
forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1750682
Does anyone else have this problem/has anyone found a solution?
It's quite frustrating.
Thanks!
I haven't used stock tethering, but I used the rooted tether with Cognition. It works fine. Don't know if its the same application that tethers, I'd assume it is.

Maybe a dumb question, did you pay for the tethering plan on your account? If not, that could be your reason but I thought tethering won't work at all if that's the case. You will have to root your phone and remove the tethering manager in order to use tethering/hot spot without paying AT&T $$$.

Yes- i pay for the tethering plan through AT&T.
After doing some testing, I've realized that the hotspot works perfectly if the screen never times out. The moment the screen times out, the wifi connection is lost! If i keep the screen on, the connection works great... in fact i'm posting this right now from my tethered MacBook Pro... and I've been on for about 10 minutes.. wierd.
Check your wifi settings and sleep policy to never, don't know if that will help, but I would try that first.

^^ Yeah, sounds like wi-fi sleep policy is acting on you. You should set to Never anyway (it actually saves battery when you connected to wi-fi).

You need root your phone first. Then install TitaniumBackup app from market. This app will allow you to remove apps that you normally can't remove (inluding those AT&T bloatwares).
After removing Tethering Manager, you will be able to use the built-in wifi hotspot as well as USB tethering feature without paying for a tethering plan. That is until AT&T catches you and send you a cease and desist warning

dasilvetz, have you found a fix for this yet? without rooting the phone?
Right as soon as my screen turns off, I lose the tethering capabilities to my iPad 1... Checked the policy setting to never also...
my fix was to install Wireless Tether for Root and use that instead.. it works great and never drops the connection!
I am still battling this issue. Wireless tether does not work either. Wired tethering works without a hitch.

Thanks for the reply's guys. I actually do have EZ-Tether and use it with my laptop when necessary. But I also need a wireless option when I pass internet connectivity to an RTK GPS survey controller from my work supplied DINC2. Since its a work phone, rooting/romming isn't an available option.
The old hack method let me run under the radar on several fronts if you know what I mean. I just wanted to find out if the old hack was still available before trading up to the Inc4G.
:good:
looks like the FCC just ruled that they can't charge for tethering so maybe you can just use the built in option.
Not sure how verizon is going to change due to this ruling.
They will still get you on data usage

No (according to the article I read) Verizon also agreed not charge for tethering. The article however said that this would only apply to 4G non-unlimited plans which is the case now anyways I believe. I did not see anything that specifically said they can't charge it for unlimited or 3g accounts but I guess they prob still will
it's so weird actually using the verizon mobile hotspot lol.

me too at first, did you get rid of the unlimteed data, and on a shared everything?
if so u get the free mobile data, i just opened it and pressed it and it worked.
it didnt at first but that was because initially i kept my unlimted plan (when i didnt want to) and the guy screwed up (good thing I happened to have called CS)
it saves our family of 4 smart phones 80$ a MONTH!!!
I don't ever need unlimited, I pay for wifi at my house so I take advantage of that and the batt savings.
only use 4g when needed.
I finally moved the cable modem into my room the wifi crappy netgear wifi thing for my desktop blows!
if for vista, i upgraded to wiindows 7, that was a fiasco, then i upgrade my comp from 2GB RAM to 6.5GB and apparaently anything over $GB the wifi wont work.
took me all day of google searching to find the hacked code.
i even to this day have to start my computer a special way to disable signature something to get the wifi to work, happy dont have to do that crap anymore. lol

The FoxFi with proxy addon works well, but it it's limited to http/https protocols, and your device that you are tethering must have an option to set up proxy settings. If you need other protocols, you will need a USB tether option.

Currently it uses Bluetooth, and they are planning on supporting WiFi. If your using it on a PC it only works with the browser (I've used it with Firefox). When first connecting my Asus to my Incredible it wasn't taking. I messed around with it, and added my tablet and then they all connected. After the first connection it now automatically connects if the app is running on both devices.

Tried the old hack as soon as I got the phone. Unfortunately, it does not work.
Connectify is another option (if you have the right hardware), never gave me a bsod. People probably get it because they have the wrong hardware. I had the right hardware and had to do this when I had a Rooted Motorola Droid/Milestone (which is in the garbage since it broke), cause it's wifi tether was ad-hoc only. (Still never failed me)

I got open garden to work on Wi-Fi fine. Just had to tell it the phone was a rezound. Only seeing about 500kbps though.
This method has been used on the GS3 as well so whoever gave that advice. TY
However, All you need to do is go to settings -> more settings -> mobile hotspot and set up your SSID and password. Afterwards, head the the play store and search https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=bohlool.net.toogleHotspot&hl=en and install. Go to your widgets and place it somewhere on your homescreen and tap for instant success. Thanks!
P.S - Root not required
Hopefully, this will be more stable than Wireless Tether which more or less causes phone to reboot and how frequent depends on the version used.

Does this not activate Verizon Hotspot charges??
Had the same question as above...
When I was testing out foxfi, as soon as I turned on foxfi, it would also activate the "Mobile Hotspot" icon that came with the phone. Does it charge me for it through Verizon?
After I deleted foxfi and tried to use the mobile hotspot directly, it asks me to sign up with a plan...
Does this mean that using third party tethering programs activating the "Mobile Hospot" that came with the phone doesn't incur any extra charges?
Thanks~
works perfect thanks man!
Does this bypass Verizon's tether charge?
Works fine here. If this did activate Verizon hot spot I believe it would make you sign up. Quick way to check would be at my Verizon and see if your plan changed mine hasnt
I just tried it and it did take me to the Verizon hotspot sign up. Unless there's another way to use it you're not gonna' tether for free with this.
It's an easy way to turn your paid-for hotspot on though.
I am using widgetsoid to make a toggle, it's pretty much the same thing, it activates the Verizon hotspot without having to register.
This way is more stable then foxfi, I would lose my connection all the time with that one.

depends on your data plan. Old unlimited data plans will have to sign up for the hotspot add on (30 bucks a month). Those on tiered plans or family plans shouldn't have to pay extra as its included now.

Can I have your autograph now that you're all famous and whatnot? ^_^
I can confirm this bypasses the subscription. When running without the app it asks to subscribe. With the little app it with will not ask to subscribe and do native tether...
I think like the att users vzw will see the forums push an update out and disable our little app

Good thing you can decline OTAs if you so desire. I don't think VZW cares that much about us tethering anymore, especially since they signed that agreement with the government to not block tethering as a condition of buying more spectrum. That's why tethering is included free now with the shared data plans. There are so few of us left who still have unlimited data, just don't all torrent 100 GB over the cell connection and VZW will probably leave us alone.
I have turned on the stock Hotspot, that came on the GN2, and it seems to work great. I was not asked to sign up for a Hotspot plan either. Is this unusual?

ther is no charge for tethering with a tiered data plan...the folks who still have unlimited data still get the subscription notice when opening the stock hotspot app. thats where portable wifi app comes into play.

People who are on Share Everything get Mobile Hotspot included. It's only people still on individual data plans, capped or unlimited, who have to pay an extra $30 for Mobile Hotspot.
Hi All,
Longtime Samsung user here and I've just moved over to the V10.
Hello to all.
I've been doing a lot of reading and as far as I can tell there is no known way of bypassing the tethering provision on T-Mobile to take advantage of unlimited data plans, is this correct? I have heard of 3rd party apps like WiFi for tether router and FoxFi but lately people have been suggesting that T-Mobile has found a way to monitor those.
So is there a way to take advantage of my unlimited data plan using my device as a hotspot?

Ah.
Thanks for replying but That's not going to help. I need to hook up a Roku wirelessly.
I think I may have a solution but I need to test more before I share
Ok.
Nothing I tried worked. I monitored my hotspot usage daily and it kept going up. Has anyone been able to bypass the tether restriction?

only way I know to bypass (on PC) set user agent to chrome on Linux or android or Firefox on Linux Android
if you tell t-mobile you want there. truly unlimited data, no BS unlimited, you get free unlimited hotspot free, no extra games, BS, or hotspot hacks needed.

I called T-Mobile and asked about unlimited hotspot and was told they do not offer such a package. How did you get yours?
njdevil, I'm not sure why they didn't offer you this. im in SC, so that may have been a promotional thing, or state specific. Sorry for your troubles, but i promise that's what i have.

I never doubted you. I just wish I could jump on the same trolley car as you. Unlimited tether would be sweet
Sorry to rehash but has there been any progress to this issue?
Has anyone been able to leverage their unlimited data plan for hotspot?

Foxfi have a wifi share option(not stable but work for me) that's what i use. you have to be usb tethering
so if you have a laptop or desktop with Wifi capbility that is your best option( your computer then become the hotspot
hope you understand my English

I thought I had it with WiFi Tether for Root but it turned out I was still racking up data on my hotspot and not my unlimited plan.
I could really use it though.
*thugmafia, your correct, but I've got a 14GB tethered promo..

Use Siraltus' rom, the one that says debranded, debloated, deodexed, then download wifi tether router by Fabio Grassio from the playstore, works perfect, also delete system/app/upsell.apk
Ok. I deleted the upsell apk and the native tether no longer works but WiFi for tether root works. I'll see if my usage good up and report back

It has been years since I tether or used my hotspot plan that comes with my "unlimited" plan (metropcs/tmobile). I couldn't afford my cable bill this month so it was temporarily suspended. My kids freaked out, no Netflix? I assumed that I had "unlimited" hotspot with my "unlimited" plan but I guess I was wrong. I received a text that at was at 10% remaining yesterday and then the throttle began.
I received a text asking if I want more hotspot data...I clicked link. It was just offering more phones and plans. No extra hotspot plans.
So I had to resort to my old tactics and try to go around the throttle. Here were some of my tries:
1. Wifi Tether Router: I bought this last year and have always worked before. Not this time. My speeds were ridiculous slow when tethering. Developer is awesome on providing frequent updates. So I guess I have to wait.
2. PDAnet: it worked for a while but it kept resetting itself. So, I decided not to buy it.
3. Titanium BackUp: freezed native apps- my account, name id, tethering provision
Still throttled.
Will report if I found a solution. But will be paying my cable bill first.

From my understanding there is really no way around the slowdown once Tmobile flags your account for tether disablement.Some data usage is counted towards your pool of tether alotment even if you use those workarounds .Once your billing cycle starts over and tethering provision is reset than you will be able to tether a lot longer as long as you use one of the apps you mentioned earlier .You may need to freeze the Tmobile.adapt app with Titanium back up I think that's one of the system apps used to monitor your tether usage ..like I said not all data is masked so some seepage will happen but you will be able to tether longer ........hope I helped

Have you tried adjusting the TTL option in Wifi Tether Router? I read that worked.
