I was doing the same thing and read a little bit about someone getting it to go but causing problems for mms. i believe it was deodex* only so far the mod is for.
So far Wifi Tether Router is working 100%. Anyone wanting wifi tether ability without paying $10 for all the other tether apps should but this $2 app instead works perfect.
i have bought wifi pda net in the past but it has never really supported the wifi part its always been usb tether. the price for this app was perfect for me to try it out so thought id vouch for its use on 4.4 kitkat update.

The only wifi tether app that works after root is wifi_tether_v3_1-beta5.apk. I can't remember where I found it but it's out there.

It doesn't work when you want to tether it to a Touchpad. The touchpad cannot detect the wifi connection coming from the phone.

apparently neither does ps3... which idk why it won't work with my photon when it was working with no additional apps or changed settings on my rooted evo 4g... but life goes on and we deal with stuff that just doesn't work... =\
Because the evo actually used infrastructure network with wireless tether

Has to be implemented for the Photon. If you get mad and want to sell your Touchpad to me for $99 just let me know.
Rooted with One-click AIO MoPho root from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1217416
Then downloaded latest (beta6) WiFi Tether from here:
http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wifi_tether_v3_1-beta6.apk
Changed the SSID but left everything else off (encryption, etc) to help with the speed. The work laptop anyway connects over VPN. Set up WiFi connection manually in work laptop (XP) as ad-hoc.
Worked like a champ! It's slow as hell ... but a champ! Let's hope it works a little better when on the road. I just need to show that I'm logged on (Sametime).

How do you set the Type to Net D. I get everything else but that. Thanks
Also if you are using an Android Tablet you can tether via Bluetooth rather easily.
For those who have gotten this to work with the TouchPad , what channel are you using? Thx

After you set the profile to Samsung Galaxy S, get back to the options menu and select "Change Setup-Method" (next one down) and then select "Netd (master)" and that should be it. Hope this works out for you.
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!!!

I have the same question...
Edit... 1 hour later.
Yeow! I installed the OP's recomended ap and the speed difference is amazing.
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.)
Easy Tether rocks. Thanks OP!

Oh and darisven, how do you know it's "just as good"? Have you done some extensive comparison testing in between your 18 posts? You can carry it with this ap too. I'm goin' with the dev guy's advice on this one.

I don't have a DNA yet to test it, but they should work. Under the FCC ruling on Verizon's use of the 700mHz band (the band they use for 4G), Verizon can't take any actions that in any way restrict what apps the customers use, and also can not restrict tethering in any way. If it is blocked, then Verizon will have some major explaining to do to the FCC. (they already had to pay a 1.25 million dollar fine over this, so the FCC is serious)
I sure hope so since none of the WiFi options seem to be working.

They block foxfi wireless, so doubt that is true. I know on my tbolt foxfi is blocked but pdanet works.

Is anyone having an issue with their data keep droping out while tethering. I am rooted on jelly beans build 1 - beanstown 106 rom. I wanna say that this happened once I rooted. Before installing a rom I tried foxfi and it conected for awhile then the 4g and data would drop out causing me to reset. Once I turn tethering off then on it works again for awhile. I thought it might have been foxfi so I installed the custom rom beans and am currently able to use the phones wifi tethering app but the same thing happens. Any suggestions?

Unroot and b return to Vzw. You got a bad phone. My Galaxy nexi(had 5 of them or so) did this until I got a good phone.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
So urs would actually tether for a bit then just drop out?
Theres got to be more to it then just bad hardware cause the 4g and wifi never drops untill I tether for awhile. Then sometimes it wont do it for hours...
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
I think it is the stock app. Mine does this sometimes, and so did my Stock Galaxy Nexus, but the Galaxy Nexus never did it when I was using ROMs... I haven't tried any ROMs other than stock or any non stock tethering apps on the Note II yet, but I don't think it is the phone.
Well thats a relief. Thanks. So should I flash another custom rom?

Same problem here. Must be the app.
Sure enough the native hotspot app is a POS and causes LTE to intermittently drop. Now have to resort to rooting and installing wireless tether.

You don't need to root to solve this. You can download Portable wifi Hotspot from the Market for free. It works great.
Root was a piece of cake with Chainfire's Exynos root exploit apk. And, as others have mentioned TrevE wireless tether is working much better than the native Verizon hotspot which was experiencing intermittent LTE disconnects, slow data throughput and connectivity issues with one of my older devices. Ran overnight without any LTE disconnects so far.

I've tried barnacle and wifi tether both do the same...will try some others. Went to beans' build 3 not doing it so far. Maybe something got fixed in the update. Am using phones native tether setting/app fyi.
Thinking of going to the clean rom 4.1.2.
Has anyone had tether problems with this rom? Specifically with 4g dropping out?
I didn't read this whole thread but if your 4g is dropping out its because your using the stock tethering and its not been hacked this is normal for it to drop out constantly and very annoying like. My s3 does it to. Use WiFi tether treve mod and again I didn't read this whole thread so if it has already been said just ignore my comment. Good luck. If you don't know what treve mod is I can't remember if its built into aroma with duild 3 or not but if its not and can't figure it out. Step over to the Verizon s3 section find treve mod and set up your note 2 the same way they say to set up the s3 and you'll be good to go. Again if this had been said ignore me. I'm bored. Hope it helps someone.
I pay for the unlimited hotspot feature from Verizon, and I often have the same issue on my stock, unrooted Note 2. It doesn't happen all of the time, but there periods where it constantly cuts in and out, especially when connected to a PC. It was also a problem on my Galaxy S3, RAZR MAXX, and Galaxy Nexus.
If you search around online, you'll see that people using the stock mobile hotspot app have been having the same issue for years.
Stock hotspot app AND Trev-E wireless tether does this to me constantly so it's got to be something else.... Its strange because some times it won't do it and then there's times where i'm dead in the water without the ability to tether. Yes I pay for tethering (plan).
My previous Galaxy S3 did the same crap to me as well... Thinking its a Samsung thing.. modem bug/kernel bug probably.
Anybody find any fixes/solutions?
Mine has done it periodically since I got the phone. Both stock and various versions of beans and clean rom. I just restart the phone and device connecting and it takes care of it. Happens maybe 1 out of 100 times.
A contact at Verizon says he sees people complaining about it sometimes and another one at sprint says the same thing.
