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.

What .apk do you freeze/delete to do this the tendering one is different from ics and gb.

I haven't done it since I have the 5 GB plan w/tethering, but I believe you have to freeze the Tethering Manager.

That is for GB. I believe it is different in ICS. I know I've seen the file somewhere in browsing of posts, but can't remember where. When i do a search it pulls up all phones forums. Can we do an advanced search through browser? Will check later.

If you go to settings> wireless & networks, there is a usb tethering option. It's built into Sense already.

I've tried that out---it lets you use it 1-2 and then tells me my plan doesn't include tethering...did I miss something or should I try it again?

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.
EDIT: Here it is, it's MikRoms. See the first thing in the Changelog

Reboot menu
3D Homescreen Display setting
Browser settings unlocked
Browser tabs unlimited
Native Sceenshot (power and home buttons)
Mms no compression and max mms 5mb (default)
Added hidden quicksettings
Removed GPS icon when not in use

Probably a few more things that we forgot.
Oh wow thanks! I am unsure how to get that working without flashing the Rom. Would I just crack open the Rom and pull an apk or is there another way to do it?

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

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.

If you're in public make sure to use a security method and check access control so other people can't jump on your tether. If you enable access control you have to allow the connection either by selecting it in the pull down or from the menu of the tether.

Ok thanks again
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.

I just use the toggle. Then, after that hold down the home button for recent apps and go right back to what I was doing...
Yes, was trying to use the built in button and the app crashed. I haven't had any problems with third party tether toggle apps. After getting the subscription check and hitting the home button I am good to go.

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.
i just froze that app. and installed a third party wifi tether app and it worked .,thanks

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!

xsalemx posted in the 4.4.2 update discussion thread (here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658480&page=31) that the update broke FoxFi.
I am on stock, unrooted MK2, and I have Unlimited Data. I am holding off on taking the OTA until there is a working tethering app for it.

Haven't heard anything concrete yet. I went ahead and rooted, and froze an SDM app. I cant afford to lose FoxFi. Hopefully this works.
Edit: Just saw on another Forum that the KitKat update will indeed negate FoxFi from working.
The release of FoxFi today now supports WiFi under KitKat on the Verzion Galaxy S4, if that's any help.

I have found that if you have a backup way of getting in to your phone past the PIN, you can make the "mistake" of messing up your pin too many times, and use the backup method to remove it so you can "set it again". Do not set it, and you can keep the certificate with no PIN. Not sure if this works on KitKat, but it did on 4.3 Jelly Bean Build MK2.
As long as you don't have the option to wipe your phone if you try the PIN too many times, anyway. Hah common sense, but disclaimer none the less.
foxfi works!
Went all weekend with out wifi tethering....today there is a foxfi update, that makes it work. :laugh:
Edit:....I did not have to set a pin. It said to 'go to settings and manually turn on mobile hotspot with in 30 seconds'.
I didnt do it in time the 1st time and it didnt work. 2nd time it worked when I did it quickly....
Whenever I turn tethering on via Bluetooth (only working method atm) it switches my APN to EHRPD - Verizon Internet from LTE - Verizon Internet. Even if I manually switch it back to LTE it'll auto switch back to EHRPD. The problem is EHRPD is only connecting me to 3G and I really don't want to browse the internet with speeds of 0.50 MB/s.
Would it be safe to delete the EHRPD APN? or is there any other way of stopping it from switching?
No idea here. I have never looked at APN settings. Tethering via WiFi works fine for me.
