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.

even though the native Application has a WEP code input option. the Wi-FiTether.apk has a MAC address white listing option along with encryption options so it will only allow certain devices to connect to yours. which i really like. I've been driving down the highway doing 65mph and had people try to connect to my wi-fi that i am letting my wife use for her netbook.
MAC filtering will not allow them to get to the web....
thats my reason for wanting it.
I just use the one built into my phone, they don't charge me and it works great...
Does anyone have the APK of the one that came with the phone? I'm not on stock rom and would like to try the original one

I've not seen an app that throttles bandwidth being used via the app.
Easy Tether is a great USB tethering app and it does not require root. I just bought the full version after testing the free version for a few days. I LOVE the tethering speeds at 4G.
I am in NO WAY affiliated with this app or its developers!!!

using the Verizon "hotspot" function my laptop would need to buffer (pause) a lot to stream a 720p video. Right now I am streaming THREE different 1080p Y/T vidoes simultaneously!! (And the cached line is still outpacing the play on all 3!!!)
I'm convinced. I'm going back to buy the $10 donation. Then I'm gonna drop another 10 spot on the OP for makin my phone better! (Then I'm callin' verizon & dumping their BS wireless tether option.)

Great news. Finally! I'll try it.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
I have the DNA, and an unlimited plan. By default, when you try to tether up it will tell you to call your carrier to subscribe. You can do it, but you need to be rooted. If you are rooted then install the Android Wifi Tether app from here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether
Once you run the app use the following settings:
Device-Profile: Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)
Setup-Method: Auto
Enable "WiFi-driver reload"
Enable "Routing fix"
This should get you up and going.
But we're not rooted. This is "tether without root" discussion. If you're rooted, sure, you can use wifi tether no problem. The problem is to tether without root.

If you get the latest wireless tether beta from Google there is an option for non root tether. I haven't been able to test it because I'm rooted but someone should try it.

You won't lose it. And throttling is a server-side limit on your data throughput. Meaning really slow speeds

From what I have read is that they can cancel your unlimited data if you are negatively effecting others experience.
Which can mean what ever they want it to really, but also you have the unlimited data to do as you please as long as
you please to.
So I really don't know on this topic.

If they cancel your unlimited for you using too much, you can get out of your contract. I use 90-100 gigs a month. One tech asked me how I used so much. I just said that I watch a lot of Netflix on my phone.

I can't be bothered to Google it, but Verizon can't charge or throttle LTE tethering I do believe. Had something to do with the block C purchase and the FCC. Could be wrong though, bit I do remember reading something along those lines.
They can charge for the stock Wi-Fi hotspot app service, but if you use something else I think it's exempt...
Again, could be wrong...

Tethering works perfectly for me on ARHD 10.2 (which is what I'm guessing you meant to type). Just go to settings, hit more,mobile network shareing, then go into portable wifi hotspot settings, name your hotspot and PW, then hit the checkbox. I had no problem.
Just curious, when you did your install with AROMA, did you hit AT&T, or international?

No.... Using the "phone" apn yes, at 5GB of usage I get throttled down to .047mbps down.
Then I just switch over to the wap.cingular APN and BAM pulling 6-10mbps down on H+/3G. No throttling here..
This thread is a bit confusing to me.
Are you guys saying AT&T charges extra for tethering?
ATT charges $$$ for a seperate data plan which lets you tether Internet, which is also limited to about 5gb or 3gb, not too sure. If you use tethering on a regular phone (stock rom with bloatware- fresh from the store), they would probably charge you for tethering because of the detection apk they put in there.
The way to bypass this is to use a custom rom, Internet tethering should work on it, maybe you could reflash/ reset the phone (all the settings and whatnot) maybe try a different rom?
Also, I diddnt know you could bypass ATT throttle, could you post all the complete APN settings to do that?
Cheers,
OK, please forgive me for being slow. You only save money if you're tethering from a phone with unlimited data plan, right? If you're on a limited plan, it doesn't matter and AT&T should not charge you extra, right?

If you go over the limit on a limited plan, they charge you extra $$$. I think it is $20 for 1 more GB.
If you are detected tethering on a stock ATT phone, they will probably charge you for tethering plan
If you are on unlimited data, you may lose it (plan) if you are detected tethering (stock phone),
if you go over limit 5GB for 4g LTE phone they will just throttle you.
Undetected tethering/ Custom ROM with removed att protection = only worry about going over the limit

I agree. The only thing Att or carriers look at is the amount of data being used periodically or the mac/ip address. Carriers have the ability to tell the difference from our phone using data or tethering, especially if data patterns changes.

For those of you waiting patiently eek for root, there is a simple substitute for WiFi Tether that worked on the Note II and some other phones as well. I'm just leaving this here in case someone doesn't know.
1. Go to Settings > More Settings > Mobile Hotspot (don't turn it on, but select it).
2. Press Configure and set your desired hotspot settings.
3. Go to Play Store and download "Hotspot Toggle Widget" by Fattin Hotspot Network. Link.
4. Add widget to home screen.
5. Toggle widget on.
6. Press the Home button to dismiss this annoying, useless popup.
7. Enjoy.
This also works with Foxfi when you get the subscription notification, just click home and tether away.

So for those on a 4gb/month plan they can use the built-in tethering app and be just fine without incurring any added costs for doing so?

If you are on a not unlimited plan you should already have tethering enabled, so no need to do anything but use the built-in app.

I'm not sure they really care.
I always kept my usage reasonable, but some douche where I work was DLing torrents at over 100 gigs a month!!

Oh, damn 100GB a month? That's nuts. I wonder if there's a cutoff where Verizon starts to become concerned about data use. 20GB? 30GB?

Actually the only plan you can tether at no extra charge its the share everything. If you are on any other plan, it is not included. Okay
Hmm for some reason not working for me. Following directions precisely. Stock rooted. Keeps checking for Verizon subscription.

Finally got it to work. I'm tethering now. Even though the verizon subscription pops up, just press the home button. Profit. Thanks op.
