I know wifi tethering requires root and I've had my rooted thunderbolt for soooo long I dont even know what is out there, What app recommendations do you have that I can use to tether to my laptop without rooting new gs4, I have no problem using usb cable.
On gs3 for Verizon there was a bug where you download any tethering widget and when you turn it on it would bypass the subscription check to Verizon. Try this?

Check out ES File Explorer. It bypasses the AT&T check for me. There's an option in tools> net manager. Hope that works for ya.

uhhhmm no, I even paid full retail to keep unlimited data... no internet access at work, i like streaming amazon/music/netflix while working. I used to use PDAnet back in the day,not sure if it required root access. I willtry some of the mentioned methods.

If anyone could try ES File Explorer's built-in tethering manager and report back, I'd be thankful. I'm curious if AT&T and Verizon use the same method to block tethering. Root not required.

I just got my S4 and the method cell128 mentioned is working for me. I am using switch pro widget and it worked perfectly in my limited testing so far.

yeah Iam usuing PDAnet+ (which includes foxfi) right now to type this post. I am wirelessly tethered,and it skipped the part where it tells you to contact verizon to subscribe. I am using the free app,which apparently has usage limits, so if it works well I may purchase the full version

It isn't possible to put the changed files in place, but i can't remember which dev (either leoisright or xhausx) said the edited tether is ready to be pushed to the system as soon as we do get root.
Another thing I've heard though is that usb tether works without having to pay (and without unlock/root). I heard that the pay service is just for the wireless tether. I haven't verified but let me know if that works for you.

I randomly found a USB tether app on the Market called "Klink" and it seems to cap your bandwidth to 1 MBit.. peaking at 2MBit at highest. If you need tethering now I'd suggest PDANet or EasyTether. I've not tested PDANet on the 3vo yet, but I'd bet it'd work fine. It's not worth my $15 though....

Try to connect and see what it says, if they are going to charge you they have to tell you first. You will get a message similar to : You have not signed up for this service, to add it to your account call or go online today.
If you don't get the message than Sprint might be offering free for a limited time to get you hooked on it. If we don't get root, they may have a lot of new tether customers.

It works through the ROM without any extra Apps. Just turn it on through the Wifi menu, or use the toggle from the pull down menu.
You'll get the red Verizon wifi icon in your task bar, but as long as you don't get a message to sign up for the wifi plan, you're good to go.
and if you get the subscription notification, just download portable wifi hotspot from playstore and that app will bypass it.

To get the best results I have used the TrevE mod wifi tether app which can also be installed via beans rom... I find that I get FULL download and upload bandwidth from Verizon versus the stock app where I only get about 5-10mbps down and about 5mbps upload... You do have to have the correct settings though. The settings can be found in Bean's rom thread and it has been working great for me with no disconnects and about double the speed of the stock app! :good:

I'm not familiar with that app. But like you, I use WiFi tether all the time, with an unlimited plan. "Portable WiFi Hotspot" works great, with stock and rooted as well. Available from the Market, and free to boot.
Thank you yeah I have been digging around and from what I read if you get a subsidized phone that the take your grandfathering that's why I think I will have to buy it outright at full price it sucks but I can burn through 5 gigs a week between hulu and Netflix tethering 2 other devices so a tiered data plan would kill me.

I've just confirmed this work. I rooted my phone about an hour ago but im pretty sure that wont make a difference. I love how it actually turns on the Verizon hotspot too lol now i wonder how long it will take for them to notice this? Hummm
I was using the sqlite edit with my bionic and tethering for over a year, no problems. But then again I only use about 8gb a month which isn't much compared to some people on here.
The best app that I've ever used was PDANet. It has a Bluetooth net access recently added (using it right now) the license is worth it for a laptop and tablet. I had it on my original Motorola DROID and I would use it with my laptop all the time in places without wifi and I would drive people nuts! Best part is, NO ROOT REQUIRED! Verizon doesn't block it (or can't) so no worries there and I think with wifi hotspot enabled you can have up to 10 devices using it. The directions are simple to follow, however, I did have some trouble locating PDATablet for use on my tablet, but found it on another android forum. Now they have it on the play store.
I'd post a link but, I've been a longtime listener but a first time caller!

Guys there is no reason to use a third party app. Just create a widget to start tethering, or download "portable wifi hotspot", all it does is activate the stock hotspot without the subscription check.
I really like the settings that wifitether had, especially subnet. If you know of a way to modify the subnet on the built in hotspot, then I am one step closer to replacing wifitether

hi - I get you can tether right off the phone- however Windows 7 sees the tether natively as a local IP connection :good: but it's frozen as in I can not access the properties it pulls a 92 address with a gateway but I can not ping it and it does not connect to internet- do i need a tether program still on the PC side?

Wifi Tether works great for me and lets me see how much data I'm actually burning through. I'm using the one w/ the Synergy ROM, TrevE Mod.
The built in tethering only works if you are on a share data plan. If you are on an unlimited, you can't use it without paying extra. However FoxFi works WITHOUT root on the S4. I have yet to root because my wifi passwords all back up to google now, and I could care less about my angry birds data as I don't play it anymore. Tethering was really my only reason for rooting this and since foxfi works with no charge and no root, I haven't rooted. I don't use windows so until I NEED to root, I'm not going to try to get one.

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.

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.
