Hotspot is working with newest tether beta (5). This needs to be moved to General.
barnacle wifi works
Hot Spot Capability After Root
The only wifi tether app that works after root is wifi_tether_v3_1-beta5.apk. I can't remember where I found it but it's out there.

It doesn't work when you want to tether it to a Touchpad. The touchpad cannot detect the wifi connection coming from the phone.

This is because the touchpad can't see adhoc networks

apparently neither does ps3... which idk why it won't work with my photon when it was working with no additional apps or changed settings on my rooted evo 4g... but life goes on and we deal with stuff that just doesn't work... =\
Because the evo actually used infrastructure network with wireless tether

Has to be implemented for the Photon. If you get mad and want to sell your Touchpad to me for $99 just let me know.
Rooted with One-click AIO MoPho root from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1217416
Then downloaded latest (beta6) WiFi Tether from here:
http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wifi_tether_v3_1-beta6.apk
Changed the SSID but left everything else off (encryption, etc) to help with the speed. The work laptop anyway connects over VPN. Set up WiFi connection manually in work laptop (XP) as ad-hoc.
Worked like a champ! It's slow as hell ... but a champ! Let's hope it works a little better when on the road. I just need to show that I'm logged on (Sametime).

Yes it does you have to set your device as a samsung gal s and set the type to net d... you will get like 5-10 error after all the errors are gone it works perfect with the hp touchpad

How do you set the Type to Net D. I get everything else but that. Thanks
Also if you are using an Android Tablet you can tether via Bluetooth rather easily.
For those who have gotten this to work with the TouchPad , what channel are you using? Thx

After you set the profile to Samsung Galaxy S, get back to the options menu and select "Change Setup-Method" (next one down) and then select "Netd (master)" and that should be it. Hope this works out for you.
Can anyone confirm that either of these works?

I don't have a DNA yet to test it, but they should work. Under the FCC ruling on Verizon's use of the 700mHz band (the band they use for 4G), Verizon can't take any actions that in any way restrict what apps the customers use, and also can not restrict tethering in any way. If it is blocked, then Verizon will have some major explaining to do to the FCC. (they already had to pay a 1.25 million dollar fine over this, so the FCC is serious)
I sure hope so since none of the WiFi options seem to be working.

They block foxfi wireless, so doubt that is true. I know on my tbolt foxfi is blocked but pdanet works.
dsb9938 made a thread saying that he got wifitether to work.

I just downloaded the latest FoxFi from the play store, enabled the WiFi hotspot and wala! It made me add a VPN certificate as well as a pattern unlock.

I can use Foxfi and leave it on all day while I connect my Nexus 10 to it. And I don't have to worry about battery at all. No way I could have done that with my DNA.

I agree with this. I tether and not have to worry about plugging the Note. Battery is much better than my RAZR HD maxx.

how are you getting foxfi to work? It is constantly dropping data connection, to the point of being unusable. I'm now using trevE

I bought the paid version and changed the name and password. Thats it. Seems to work great for me. I have connected up to 6 devices with no problem.

I wonder if Foxfi somehow provides better battery life over the stock hotspot app? Can anybody try a day on both and report back?
I would, but I don't have native tethering because I still have unlimited data.

Hope it works out for you. If not, download PDAnet and see if you can tether it that way. I think it'll work over Bluetooth when you use that and Foxfi together.
Umm....yeah

Yo,
Download the hotspot toggle widget. I use that and see no plan signup warning when activating.

The free app "portable WiFi hotspot free" is another way to bypass the activation check for the VZ hotspot.

Man I wish it would last ten minutes for me. Maybe more like ten seconds. And I have the paid version and uninstalled reinstalled multiple times.
So my buddy just got this phone and he's saying foxfi no longer works for him(from what I've read this seems to be accurate).
He's on an unlimited plan with Verizon and he's wanting me to root his phone tonight so he can get a hotspot app... Before I root it i wanted to make sure 1. That there isn't any hotspot apps that work with the DNA without rooting and 2. I wanted to make sure there are some hotspot apps that work after root. I've been researching and it sounds like most people are saying you're sol unless you go to a share every thing plan through Verizon.
Thanks for the info!
I want to know exactly the same thing. I need internet for my tablet. I'd rather not root, but I will if something works for sure after that.

I did this for someone's Verizon Galaxy Note II the other day. There's a modified version of Wifi Tether in the instructions, but you might be able to get away with just copying the settings used here. Let me know if it helped.

I am not rooted. 100% stock. I have not unlocked this phone. I unlocked my first one and then it died several days later of a hardware failure and so I am waiting this time to make sure this new device is solid.
All I do is go to settings>more>Mobile Network Sharing>Turn on Mobile Hotspot. I setup the wifi there and then connect with my tablet.
Perhaps its because i am on the Share Everything Plan?

Yep, you can't WiFi tether on stock with the unlimited plan, but you can if you have a limited/shared plan

I was doing the same thing and read a little bit about someone getting it to go but causing problems for mms. i believe it was deodex* only so far the mod is for.
So far Wifi Tether Router is working 100%. Anyone wanting wifi tether ability without paying $10 for all the other tether apps should but this $2 app instead works perfect.
i have bought wifi pda net in the past but it has never really supported the wifi part its always been usb tether. the price for this app was perfect for me to try it out so thought id vouch for its use on 4.4 kitkat update.
