I forgot what i did on my lg motion to bypass the tethering service from metro... I am rooted and tried pdanet, foxfi, barnacle, but my iphone that im trying to get the hotspot activated on never lets me get online without upgrading to the service...
Bump?? Anyone?

This might work for you, I haven't personally tried it but I know what you're after, I use PDAnet to USB tether but if I try to do wireless tethering I get sent to a webpage that blocks me :crying:

I'm confused. I understand that Sprint charges extra to allow customers to enable tethering via their cell phones. And I understand that many rooted phones can have apps installed and/or enabled to allow tethering without any extra charge. (Please correct me if any of that is inaccurate.)
So what happens when I turn on the wifi hotspot on my new phone? Will it fail because I don't have a "tethering" option on my plan? Will it work, but add $30 to my monthly bill? Or will something else happen.
Same with the USB tethering? How does that work? And get billed?
This 3vo is the first phone I've had that offered these options.
You can use USB tethering without paying the $30/month fee. That's just for WiFi tethering. If you try to use the WiFi hotspot, it simply will just not work. You will not be charged.

Both wired and wireless tethering fail with the message to contact Sprint to upgrade your plan.
What about pdanet? I haven't had time to try it out yet.

No, I'm not happy to see you, that's a Shooter in my pocket.
I was told the usb tethering would be free but when i try it it tells me its not included on my acct

This app is cheap and works great check it out here Also you CAN tether a wifi connection for free but not using mobile connection.
Tethering Roms
I found when you try to use either wireless or wired tethering build into the software, you get that error message and it also shuts down the 3g signal. You can still form an adhoc network wirelessly but no internet.
I'm looking for a Rom that unlocks the built in tethering. I just found Virusrom to do a good job. Any other roms you can recommend that just unlock the built in tethering functions?
I have a grandfathered unlimited data setup (part of my base
package not a 'data plan'). Is there a non-root way to do wi-fi
tethering short of the official hotspot option?
Open Garden worked really well with my DInc, but no idea if it would work with the Rezound and 4G. I will try it once I am rooted (requires root).

Non root? I dont think so... U can tether via usb without root, not wifi that im aware of
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
I'll try a few today and let you know how they work out.
I am rooted with the one click root, and it has wireless tether built in.
No, wifi tethering requires root. Try usb, or root it. Unlocking bootloader is pretty easy and safe being official and all. Root is also pretty easy.
Have seen some people say that open garden hangs when they try to stop the tethering, but so far it does seem to be the only app that allows tethering in infrastructure rather than ad hoc. And yes you do need to be rooted.

My coworker has the Galaxy S II and he's flashed his phone he was able unlock the hotspot that already came with his phone. I was wondering if anyone has been able to do the same for the MoPho and if so could anyone possibly give me the link for this software.
You have to root.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA
Well I do have root.I need a wifi tether that isn't running in ad-hoc mode but infrastructure and the only one I know to do that would be the phone's own hotspot already installed but need to be unlocked
That's weird cause for some reason the phone's own hotspot won't work for me at times, but the app does. Sorry I can't help then.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA
Thats because the hot spot on the phone is ties in with sprint, you want wifi tether, just google it, and a custom kernel

First off, my rezound is NOT rooted. I use Foxfi on it and can tether using the bluetooth option to my nexus 7, but a lot of the applications don't recognize it as an actual internet connection (example: i can browse around the play store but when i try to download an app it just gets stuck at waiting for network.) Before the ICS update Foxfi wouldn't even let me turn on the WiFi hotspot function. After the ICS update it will now turn on the WiFi hotspot but my nexus 7 will not connect to it. It just gets stuck at "acquiring IP address" and will not go passed that.
tl;dr if someone can help me use my rezounds wifi hotspot to tether to my N7 without having to root i would greatly appreciate it.
What is stopping you from root? I wouldn't even have a smartphone if I couldn't root it. That said, I believe there are decent rootless tether apps.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
For one, I don't have a computer to root with and I really just don't want to go through the hassle or void my warranty. I've tried a lot of apps but none of them seem to let anything connect to the hotspot. Seems like it's something internal blocking it. I should probably have mentioned that I am on a grandfathered unlimited plan. Do you know of any hotspot tether apps I could try that might work?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Maybe try clock work mod. I don't know though because I have root.
Edit
I don't actually have a clue, it is possible there isn't a good rootless tether app that doesn't require usb

I was on a beta test for a a bluetooth networking app from Open Garden. Try searching that in the Play Store.

Edit the title of this thread to Tethering UNROOTED Rezound with Nexus 7. I bet you'll get more relevant people clicking in here.
Don't want to root your phone? You'll have to pay to activate Verizon's built in wifi tether most likely.
I have rooted my Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3, mainly so I can tether. However, upon installing Wifi Tether (I tried regular as well as TrevE Mod), and entering the usual settings, I found that it does not work with this phone. Does anyone know of a way to use wifi tethering on this phone? Is TrevE going to update his app to work with the Note 3? Developers, if you are seeing this, such an app would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Wife Tether Router is working for me after rooting my note 3. Had to play around with the settings at first. Ad hoc mode works, but none of the other modes would work.

Confirmed. Wifi Tether Router works for me too. $1.95 on the Google Play store. Configure as Method 3 Ad-Hoc.
Do I have to be rooted to use this? I know it's a silly question with a yes answer but I have seen a few post with people saying they have been boot looping like crazy after a successful root with no way to fix it?

I used Chainfire's easy root method the day I got the phone and it works with no problem. Wifi Tether Router does require root, but it is confirmed working where the Trevemod that most people use does not currently work until the dev updates support.

They seem to suspect that TWRP is causing the boot loop (I haven't installed recovery yet) but I'm rooted using chainfire method and haven't had any issues with booting. But yes, rooting would be required to get around sprint's official wireless tether.

Wifi tether router with the structions below ....only my computera recognized and it works but ....but with any cellphone cant connect ....so anny idead??
It's the fact that you have to use adhoc and not infrastructure ..... have to wait until they fix it

I bought Wifi Tether Router, and it works, but there are a few things I cannot stand about it. A security passcode cannot be set on an ad-hoc connection, so anyone can connect. Also, even after I tap disable, the ad-hoc connection is still active! New devices can still see the hotspot until I turn on my wifi and connect to a network.
Does this work with 4g as well?

Look like I'll be holding off until there's a secure connection. Can't stand open network.
It may not be wifi hotspot, but for a good workaround for now I'm using Pdanet+ on my Note 3 and Bluetooth tethering to my tablets using Pdanet Tablet. This creates a secure VPN connection to the tablet and all my streaming apps work fine on it. Haven't tested it with LTE yet but going to try that tomorrow.

I use Barnacle as well, but doesn't seem to support WEP, only ad hoc, wide open. Anyone having luck getting WEP to work, and if so, care to share your settings?
Same here, unable to get WEP to work with Barnacle, but at least I have some free wireless tether going. Confirmed working, thanks!

what settings are being used for Barnacle? i tried to start it and it fails every time.
Barnacle
I'm using Barnacle as well It seems to work well in ad hoc however, plugged in, it works on tether and leaves no vacant Wifi network. Seems to be a good workaround until the encrypted app is available.
I'm Sorry, I take it back. I unplugged and the whole world can still see my Business. LOL

The native hot spot works now also.
Would seem the best option to me.
The only real caveat at the moment seems to be there is no odex version so must be running a deodex rom.
Which is simple enough and an odex version should be along shortly
