I've got a stock AT&T Atrix (2.3 OTA, but rooted) but I"m not in the US so buying a tethering plan is not an option. I'm using wireless tether for root users, works fine.
If I buy a lapdock can I get 3G via the app or do I have to apply the sqlite mod?
Cheers
Hi Guys. I posted in the HTC One X (non +) and then noticed this separate forum. Sorry for the repeat.
My company just gave me an HTC One X+ from AT&T since I didnt want an iPhone. Seems like a good device but I did run into one snag.
My previous phone was a Galaxy S2 but was having major battery drain issues with Exchange Server so I thought I would try a different manufacture and keep my fingers crossed. The snag is this: with my SGS2 I was able to use FoxFi (and others) for WiFi tethering/hotspot and it worked great even bone-stock. With the HOX+ it seems At&t has gotten a little smarter and can detect when a program is trying to hotspot and I get taht message saying to call them if I want it enabled when I start FoxFi.
I have the paid version of clockworkmod and that will not work at all - says failed to connect when I hit start in Windows 7. I also have the paid version of PDAnet and that kind of works but the connection get dropped pretty regularly making it unreliable. Not sure if this has anything to do with Att's detections since they did gave me some trouble with the SGS2 as well (not exactly same though).
My question is this: can I get FoxFi to work WITHOUT root? Since it is brand new and not mine technically I hate to start hacking the thing up so quickly. But the tethering is a function I really like.
Thanks
Ernie
My phone is rooted, FoxFi and PDAnet didn't work..
I'm using this one :

I'm notl 100% sure but i dont think you'll be able to get what you want without being rooted. I'm surprised you had such good luck with the GS2 if it was on att and not rooted. Previous poster did suggest a great tool, been using it for years... But have to be rooted to do so
I don't believe you can actually get WiFi tethering on your phone without paying the extra amount from AT&T if you don't have your phone rooted. I have mine rooted and the hotspot feature works great!
Thanks guys. Thats what I figured. Guess I will have to just do it.
Ya, go figure about the S2. Guess I got lucky with that one.

I just got my HTC One x plus, and I am using PDAnet (free version), and I am able to tether via USB, with no issues. I have been able to do skype calls with no issues at all, browsing the web is fine as well. Tethering via wi-fi is the challenge, I have not been able to find anything that will allow me to do this. I use AT&T and my device is un-rooted.

PDANet works for me but seems to drop me at randomly. Not sure if it has to do with the ATT block.
So does Att have the ability to detect teathering - rooted or unrooted?

with wi-fi and un-rooted, it seems they detect, with USB un-rooted they don't, at least, this is what happens on my end.
Hey guys. I'm in Canada now but I'm coming to the USA soon. I put the T-Mobile Stock roms on my Samsung Galaxy SII in preparation for the trip. Everything is working fine and I'm looking forward to using WiFi Calling when I get to the USA.
Meanwhile I'm up in Canada and I have service with Koodo.
When I put the T-Mobile roms on my phone I suddenly lost my Koodo WiFi tethering. Grrrr! Something in the T-Mobile ROMS disables all WiFi tethering.
Anyway just wondering... is there a work-around for this issue? I got it working with USB tethering and PDANet (which I bought a million years ago). But I miss my true WiFi tethering - especially since it's included in my Koodo plan!
Any suggestions?
New to all of this.
Can someone please, please help.
I rooted my phone. Sprint Galaxy Note 3.
I rooted it for only 1 reason and that was to get free wifi tethering. I have no idea which wifi tether works I have no idea. It's rooted but I need a wifi tethering app that works for sprint.
Also if I need to turn in the phone for warranty how do I unroot.
I am curious to know if it would be possible to port over T-Mobiles rom to my wife's S4. It is rooted and has safestrap installed. It is running 4.4.2 KitKat. We recently switched carriers and I was wondering if I was able to port T-Mobiles rom, it might help with signal reception? Or am I totally wrong? I would love to get the wifi calling and texting that is built in to their roms, along with a few other options they incorporate for the S4.
Thanks for any help!
