That could be the problem, you may need to freeze the tethering manager .apk in titanium backup before attempting to tether. Terry that first then let us know if that worked.

The wireless works fine over 4g without running that script. I've had no wake lock issues. Are you in a 4G area?
Also, one of the current roms said to have the wired and wireless tether unlocked. I'll peek around and see if I can find which one it was.

I honestly have no idea how you would do that. I know that if you wanted the hotspot, you could just pull the hacked hotspot apk out of the rom and roll with that....but I don't think that wired usb is tied into that app, and I'm not sure what hits that. My suggestion would be to flash the rom, and see how it goes. I've never had anything but good experience with any of aamikams roms.
OK thanks for the help----on phone now so ill click thanks later

FoxFi is free in the Play Store. Just click "Activate WiFi Hotspot" and it does the rest.
If you don't have tethering enabled on your account that would explain why it is turning itself off. It calls home to Momma first. You can fix it if your phone is rooted.

Using Titanium Backup, remove the IMS Service. That should kill any WiFi calling remaining in your system. Not too sure about the stability you'll get afterwards, as I haven't tested it. Be the first one to try!

Turn on WiFi calling, and if you go in app settings and force stop IMS service, Wi-Fi calling... disappears (until the next reboot I assume)

I guess he meant 'idle'.
About the question, if its in Wi-Fi there is an option to "Keep Wifi On during sleep". Check whether an option like that exists in 2G/3G data connection settings. AFAIK, the data connection would be always live, and I do doubt whether an option for the same exists.
Sorry for the spelling...but it's not on wifi..It's on data connection and it stops send receive if I don't use it actively and hence downloads stop

Hey guys/gals, here is a fix for the VZW GS4 that resolves the issue of WiFi hotspot tethering. In the latest update, you now get an errors message that checks for an active subscription and then gives you an error and turns off the hotspot. Here are 2 methods I found.
Method 1: Download any app that allows you to freeze/defrost packages. If you cannot find one or do not have one, download an app called System Tuner by 3c. You have to find a package called "SPG" (system package). Freeze this package and it will prevent the phone from checking for a subscription service. Run your non-factory hotspot app. It will crash and maybe freeze for the first time, and then exit, just reopen it and it should then work.
Method 2: Using System Tuner, find the package called "SPG" and click on it so that it becomes highlighted. Then click "Details" so that it brings up the info about the app. It should show a list of packages under the "Activites" section (near the bottom). Uncheck the box labeled "NewSPGActivity". After this, you can run your hotspot app and it should crash/freeze for the first run. After that, it should run smoothly.
I hope this works for you all. If you have any questions or issues, just reply to this thread. Don't forget to give me a thanks!
Note: Do not use the built-in wifi hotspot toggle switch, it will crash. Download an app from the market to toggle it.
Note: If you cannot access the settings by clicking on the Hotspot notification, do this: settings>more networks>mobile hotspot.
Note: I am running ME7 with 4.2.2 JellyBean and stock rom.

Foxfi works with no subscription notice all you have to do is make a pattern lock when it asks you.

If you are trying to run the hotspot from the built it button, it will crash. Use an external app for your hotspot. I use "1-click tether" at the moment. I'm going to do some more looking right now.

FoxFi uses your data plan, so if you don't have unlimited data it will cost you a lot of money. The technique I'm using prevents the phone from checking if you have an active subscription or not. Also, FoxFi limits how long you can use it continuously if you don't purchase the pro version. I used to use FoxFi before i rooted my phone.
On VRUAME7 build hack is not required. Toggle the built-in Wifi hotspot on and as soon as the subscription check message comes up just press the home button and it will go in the background but you will be able to still use tethering.

IF you are correct, you still have to deal with the message every time you want to tether. Also, since you have to hit the home button, if you want to change your setting or anything then you have to go back into the app and deal with the message again. This just makes it easier. Your idea just avoids the issue, mine fixes it. I wasn't trying to be rude or anything. Have a good day!
