Does anyone know how to remove the Verizon Hotspot subscription check ? The method that worked for the SIII doesn't seem to work.

Does anyone know how to access AT&T Wifi Hotspots with the Streak? I have an unlimited data plan and should be able to access them for free (I used to on my BB's) but the Streak does not auto authenticate...?
Are you running a carrier unlocked Streak?
I bought the unlocked Streak last month and the apps to authenticate the phone on the AT&T wireless hotspots are not on the phone.
I have not tried calling AT&T yet to see if there is another way to get access.
I am actually using DJ Steve's ROM .

Maybe someone has the apps and can share with those of us on AT&T who have unlocked Streaks?
I have found that if you install battery doctor (free app - market) and go to settings, its gives you the option to turn on the WIFI hotspot. You can then configer security for it.

This discussion is about the free WiFi hotspots provided by AT&T. In the US almost every McDonalds and a lot of other places have WiFi provided by AT&T. If you are an AT&T customer these are supposed to be free to connect to, but the software that is on AT&T locked phones is not on unlocked phones purchased from Dell. Using these free WiFi hotspots helps prevent using up your data allotment.
I believe that what you are talking about is turning on the portable WiFi hotspot that the phone can provide to other devices.
Sorry I misread the post.
ATT Hotspot - There is no App
You connect to AT&T hotspots through settings. Do the following:
Settings>Wireless & Networks > Wi-Fi settings then select attwifi.
It's been a while since I did this so I don't remember is you may be asked for your AT&T email account and password.
There is no app. It's just a setup.
Edit: Forgot to say you have to be at the hotspot e.g. McDonalds to setup the connections.

Not as simple as that. You get a page saying you can sign up for AT&T wifi or login to your existing wifi account. If you have an iPhone it connects with no issue.

Does anyone know what needs to be edited to disable the Hotspot subscription check ? Thanks
I have my own MVNO setup and I want to activate my Galaxy S5 (rooted) to support Wifi Calling. Is there a way to do that by ADB or some similar hacking form?
There seems to be a way suggested by this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/developing-epdg-p-s-scsf-problem-t3419111
Has anyone found a hotspot workaround yet? I don't want to pay VZW to use my own data twice but it's such an important feature for me that if I HAVE to, I will.
For me, the unlocked version of the s9+ hotspot worked out of the box with no subscription.
Is there a way to get unlimited hotspot on the Tmobile Pixel 6? I know the old method was to add dun to the apn settingsof older phones but not sure what works now with Android 12 and the Pixel 6. Could anyone post or link to a guide or steer me in the right direction?

I don't think there is a guide as it's likely changing the APN still works. However, be careful with tethering or hotspot use as the carriers do monitor their traffic and can tell if you are doing either.
Look into PdaNet+
3rd party app, but works great. Has a feature called Hide Tether Usage too, not sure how reliable that is though.
If your are rooted look for vpn hotspot that's the best way to tether without restrictions, if you're not rooted you can use pdanet as someone has mention previously
I have been tethering on A12 for a long time using a personal method of mine since A10 on the carrier ATT.
Background: By default i have an unlimited texting calling and unlimited data plan with ATT but no hotspot allowed at all within the plan. I wanted to hotspot for video game reasons. Now for my method
My method uses a combination of methods I have found through various threads. It also has a few pre requisites like being able to unlock your BL, root and being able to change your APN/add a new APN.
First you have to be rooted and use the module magiskhidepropsconfig and add a prop. You can Google search the module to find it on GitHub. The prop you need to add is "net.tethering.noprovisioning" using a terminal and set that prop to true. This prop adds the ability for you to tether without the device reporting it as tethering directly.
Next you need to screenshot your entire DEFAULT APN as you need to copy the original one and add that same EXACT SAME APN but with ONE minor change. The change being under "APN TYPE" you need to add "DUN", no spaces in all caps at the end. If you try adding 'dun' in lowercase, this WILL NOT WORK and will NOT let you add it.
This is because "dun" is the code for tethering under the 'APN type' and that will allow your device to tether making your device think you have your "carrier's permission" to tether. This also will allow you tether for long periods of time without it shutting off automatically.
After that you're done and should be able to tether, I'll attach to screenshots, one as proof and one of the 'APN type' change. This method also survives OTA's.

A couple of questions:
-- Is this method the same regardless of carrier? (I have Verizon)
-- I usually do a full flash of the monthly updates without wiping, will it survive that method rather than OTA?
Changing APN setting works adding dun. Sprint/tmobile added an APN called pam, it was doing the monitoring so I had to delete it completely and push a new APN and preferred APN using adb root and some commands.
