I know this is a dumb question, but can someone please tell me how I achieve tethering. I know it is set up to work on this rom but I don't know how to make it actually happen!
Thanks so much
Edit: I have the 'free tether' option selected in wireless settings
You could just download the "Wireless Tether" from Google Code. It works perfectly even on the Atrix as long as you're rooted. Should work on all the GingerBlur/Adeo mods too.
Which version do you use?
Also, does this need to use wifi, I'm trying to tether with just data connex

think about this for a minute. if you have wifi, why would you need tether?
of course tethering works on data only, it uses your wifi ON THE PHONE to create its own wifi network
you dont have to download any app, just open Settings, Wireless and Networks, MOBILE HOTSPOT, and turn it on.....
well thanks pirateghost...for the somewhat sarcastic reply. lol .
yes, sure that does make sense, duh! ...i guess it hadn't occured to me bc i assumed tethering was done thru a usb cable as i had done on WM before. something was wrong with my settings to make the wifi hotspot connect. i had to open the apn and save it (without making changes to it). this allowed it to connect and now have it working thru the hotspot.

Haha nice catch I didnt notice that. Let me power up my delorean and get 6.5 for all us. I think that is the last version before Motorola unlocked the bootloader. Wireless tether is what is recommended since there are many guides for it and works with all operating systems whereas usb would not. You could try pdanet which I paid for but not on my current device. That supports both however $30 might be more than you are willing to pay for usb support
I've rooted my phone, installed the newest wifi tether apk 3.1-beta2, and flashed TWRP.
I was wondering if this is all that is needed to enable free hotspot? Or is it necessary to install one of the custom roms in order to get it working free? Just want to make sure.
Thanks!
In Wifi Tether go into settings and check Routing fix and you should be good to go, no need to flash anything.

The hotspot fix you (or the ROM devs) are referring to is to use the native sprint built in tethering.

Systen settings/More networks/Tethering and portable hotspot/Mobile hotspot - switch on
This will work unless you are using the device on a carrier other than the branded carrier.
My AT&T branded phone will not give me mobile hotspot on T-mobile service.
That is until we get a custom ROM on this thing
Is FoxFi working on a workaround for Kit Kat 4.4? (hotspotting for folks who still have unlimited data plans)
The developer doesn't seem to like to reply to email questions from paying customers....
Or is this a technical barrier that can never be broken in Kit Kat 4.4?
Thanks!
Not really sure to be honest, but have you considered rooting to enable tethering that way?

At this point root is not possible if you have already upgraded to KitKat 4.4.2. If somehow you succeed in rooting, then you can download Wifi Tether app which is available for free and that will activate your tethering hotspot when you run it.

which "Wifi Tether" app is the right one?
Thanks!
Hello everyone. I was finally able to root my H5X, and the first app I tried was WiFi Tether paid app. Everything checked out fine, but after enabling it, i still can't seem to find the network. Any ideas? Or has anybody tried yet and has success?

If you are on AT&T you may need to be rooted and delete a folder in system/app called ATTEntitle. It should fix Hotspot in 3rd party tether app or (Free) Native Android Hotspot in settings. If you are on another carrier I don't know. I have been trying to get none working for a while. See here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3307384
I'm on T-Mobile. I have the grandfathered $80 unlimited 4g LTE with 7gbs hotspot. And I'm rooted. Busybox installed.

I think you CAN use Native Android Hotspot in instead of 3rd party tether but you need to change your "tether APN" to default "internet APN."
Maybe this thread can help http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...lopment/unrestricted-tethering-n920t-t3188301 But if you Try this you will want to monitor your data usage on T-Mobile website (or however you keep track). You don't want to run out of "tether data" if you can prevent it.

I tried using native hotspot last night and it worked great. Streamed about 4 movies last night. Verified my T-Mobile account this morning and I can confirm that my wifi hotspot shows 7.9mb/7GBs.
This is what my account shows
Very nice, so just using the app alone has stopped the tethering number from climbing?
