http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48950150&postcount=2
I have a Sprint Galaxy S3, rooted stock MK3 with the hotspot mod flashed.
TS is running EnSec Patch & Imperium Operative Installer 20140221, option 2.
This is all from memory, but should be mostly accurate.
1) Enabled Xposed module and restart TS.
2) Installed HackConnectivityService.apk (found in referenced message). Enabled and TS restarted.
3) On phone, installed FoxFi (Sprint/AT&T only)
4) On TS, installed PdaNet(Tablet)
5) On phone, start FoxFi and run through configuation. Don't remember what I did here, but I don't think it was anything unusual.
6) On TS, go to Hack ConnectivityService app. Make sure the hack is activated and choose WiFi. Mobile may also work but I haven't played with that option too much.
7) Start PdaNet(Tablet). Choose configure. Start scanning.
8) Back on phone, Activate Bluetooth Mode. It ask if you want to be visible for 120 seconds. Choose Yes.
9) Back on TS, you should be able to pair with the phone's FoxFi. Click on bottom grey button. It may say Connect, but I can't tell because the screen is too small!
10) You should get a connected screen.
That's the general idea.
Without the Hack Connectivity Service in place, I could only browse the web. By choosing "WiFi" in enables Play Store access and GMail syncing, etc.
Other than the usual TS being unable to maintain a stable BT connection for any period of time, I have only found one other problem. GMail won't automatically sync for me over this connection. I can open GMail and manually check for new and it works fine. Maybe a Tasker script would help.
Thanks. Going to look into this and see if it can't be baked into a patch without the $8 FoxFi part.
I had an old PDANet license and yup, sure enough this method works. Though it disconnects pretty quickly. Maybe I can figure a tasker script to re-enable it...
the PDAnet app is too big for the screen and the connect button doesn't show for me.
Any ideas for fixes?

Unless you constantly push data (even then that sometimes fails) it drops. Same for the 5 or 6 other host/client apps I've tried so far.
Maybe have the Omaster and Ocompanion running at the same time?

Using EasyTether BT Tethering Works on TS
I followed the post that you linked http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48950150&postcount=2 and I was able to get internet access using bluetooth on the TS from my SIII on T-Mobile network. I installed the EasyTether Tablet and the HackConnectivity module on the TS and EasyTether Lite on my phone.

Does it work for any length of time, or does it drop and not reconnect like the PDANet/Foxfi one?

@Bushrod I noticed you said two specific carriers with foxfi. I have Verizon so would this hack still work beck my foxfi works fine as hotspot for my phone which I dont want because of ts battery issues obviously.

Thanks, this works for me !! Now we need a tasker script to connect automatically, and disable/enable AP mode based on the tether status on the watch.
It works for me too !
A solution to tether through BT !
The cons are that the watch is very laggy when connected through pdanet/foxfi
Does this happen to you too ?
Does this work with ONLY per app ppi and FoxFi/PDANet in BT mode? If so, for how long before it drops the connection?
I use Dees_Troy's ROM for BT tethering now. I'm lucky to have a watch version that supports it!
I'm looking to see if they Omate got stable BT down to at least FoxFi/PDANet and nothing more.
It seems stable, but I did not use it too long, because the watch becomes very laggy when activated.
I got this working on my T'S last night after seeing Loki's post on G+.
Using PDANet+ on my phone and PDA Tablet on the TS. It will not allow Google services access to the internet but will allow other apps and general Web browsing.
Not sure how stable the connection is as I didn't test it for long and it did seem to chew though the battery quite quick.

FYI tried Barnacle WIFI Tether from the market with the temp root n it works!
also confirming this version method as well
Thanks to wrxtc714 over at www.therootofallevo.com
After you have rooted your phone you can now install the latest wifi tether app
Source: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
The copy that is on the google code site does not work
use the one wrxtc714 uploaded here
Download:http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6786574/Wifitether.apk
Once you have the wifi-tether app installed
click on the icon to get the app running
(it will give you some errors but just ignore them)
Select
Menu
Settings
Change Device Profile
Scroll through the list and choose EVO 4G
you can now start tethering
You may need to start and stop the tethering a couple times and after that it will work fine

i think it needs to ping the network first before beconning the network.. so since yours is unactivated try going into settings and check "don't wait for data connection." maybe that'll help.. works on mine.
Can anyone else confirm that barnacle works ?
Got it working now, +1
any other wifi tether apps working besides barnacle?
I've only tried the old wifi tether... and it was no go. My nook will connect to adhoc, and laptop are cool with it. I use barnacle as it was, since wifi tether would never work in CM7 on the evo 4G for me
Barnacle works ! check box "dont wait for data connection"
With 4g unfortunately it doesn't. tried the different methods of connecting to a web page etc.. first... at least 3g works

I am using encryption and have access control on, and that's the only changes I made if I recall correctly. I have hardly used it, just wanted it set up on the phone so I'd have it in case of an outage because I only have 3G here. But I was able to connect to it from a tablet and browse to the Google website.

Can't complain about that.
Using Open Garden WiFi Tether (encrypted), BAMF 2.1, loaded the new radio earlier and it's working fine.
Running BAMF 3.0 RC4 and today's radio, wifi-tether 2.0.8-pre1 works fine for me, but 3.1-beta1 does not work (it seems to be a wifi connection issue, not an LTE radio issue)
Distinction between Hotspot and wifi tether
Can we make a distinction between the built in Hotspot app and the Wifi tether?
I can use Wifi Tether with the new radio but I can not use the Hotspot as it tells me to contact VZW to activate it.
The question I think for me is this... Is there any way to use the Hotspot built into the radio when rooted or do you have to revert back to old rooted rom and the old mr1 radio (original radio)?
Wifi tether is working fine for me on the new radio as long as you set your screen to never lock.
I had better results with easy tether though via usb. Both seemed to work though. I'm running cm7 rc1.2

Using 3.0 pre14 and it works on my end. I have "Routing Fix: Enable Routing-Fix (for HTC Devices)" selected.
My tethering was not working on the new radio...restarted a few times and now it works....I love it when things fix themselves, but I hate not knowing what was wrong
No go for me...
I am still on BAMF 1.6.3 at the moment because it has been so stable.
I can understand why the official VZW Mobile Hotspot app no longer works (without paying for it) because they are now charging for it.
However, I would love to know what sets that app apart from something like WiFi Tether. I have tried just about every version of that app, up to and including the new 3.1 Beta, and it just will not work for me. Neither my Xoom or my iPad 2 will connect. I do not understand how it works so well for others and not me. When I could get it to work, it would connect for a few minutes tops, and then the up/down counters would reset to 0 and my tethered device would drop.
What makes the native VZW mobile hotspot app so inherently more stable? I have a separate VZW 4G "MiFi" device I pay for and use, but there sure are times when the convenience of it on my phone would be nice, just not $30 a month nice.
If anyone has any ideas on what I could be doing wrong, please let me know. I think I am going to try BAMF 1.8.6 and a new radio, but I am not holding my breath.
Thanks,

Unfortunately I do not believe this is Verizon's "Mobile Hot spot" .. This was inherently part of the functionality of the phone as it was built.
Verizon basically pushed another version of the wifi hotspot down that disables it unless it checks and validates you are paying them $30 a month.
The facts are they were sued back in the Motorola V710 days for crippling Bluetooth and this is no different.
They were sued also for crippling the GPS on the Samsung omnia when they were trying to make people pay for their Navigator.
Give it some time and they will be sued again.
In the meantime I am just going to keep using wifi tether for free and if they want to end my service contract ... so be it.

CM7 and 2.5 radio -wifi tether not working
The MR 2.5 radio caused several WiFi tethering apps for root to not work. I went back to MR 2 radio and it is working again.
I'm using CM7 RC1.3
I spoke too soon. With the MR2 radio now tethering still fails to work. Device can connect but they act like they fail to receive DNS entries and connection to the Internet never works. This might be due to Verizon's check to see if paying for tethering is on?
Im using MR2 OTA not the leaked one. Works fine for me. Mobile hotspot is dead do to the account check . Only thing ive noticed is a Nat issue. All will connect and run fine. but if i try to join a VOIP host lets say i cant. Gives me a Nat issue error. But all else works fine and has from day one. If you keep having a issue id reflash everything. Ive had problems going from one verison of a tethering app to another. Prolly due to the loaded configs. Ive got 3 TBs i test on and they all are on diffrent roms (same MR2 OTA radio though). But Back to the Nat Issue. I have OGdroids that do not have the NaT issues my TBs have. So its Rom or Kernel issue and not Tower Side. As far as i can tell anyways. Sorry i cant help more.( and you might try Dling a Fresh copy of whatever tethering app you use. Or try Barnacle and tell it not to load configs
I'm having intermittent NAT issues as well, including with Barnacle tether. It seems pretty random. Last night I was able to stream a Netflix movie via the mobile hotspot in CM7 but couldn't with Barnacle. This morning neither tethering apps would work. Radios I have flashed: 1.39.00.0528w, 0.01.69.0602w_1
I'm thinking this is Verizon's doing?

Hey thanks for redirecting me to your recent thread and find on the subject.
I uninstalled the old version of wifi tether 3.0 b5 and downloaded the 3.0b11 from the official google site. I tried selecting the device profile you had mentioned whilst testing from home and a laptop (I only have 3g until I leave my apartment at the moment) -BUT....
It appears that I am able to connect and be tethered via Droid Razr (CDMA/LTE) profile but - as unsecure.
If I re-select "auto" profile - I can view my photon from my laptop as secured with the 13 key passphrase. Prompted to enter the key via my windows laptop (vista business 32)
I tried changing the method from "AUTO to WPA_SUPPLICANT" but neither made a difference... (in the Droid Razr CDMA/LTE device profile) but this still shows as unsecure.
I left everything else "as is" by default on the apk.
Running stock photon sprint with shabby's AIO root.
Am I missing something?
I want to make sure that part is clear before trying out the "4g" bit when leaving my apartment to the areas I can get 4g coverage - wouldn't want to keep an unsecure photon tether going on
Hopefully, it is something I really overlooked. The tethering works (meaning I can browse via both the "auto and droid razr-cdma/lte device profiles", but the latter keeps showing up as unsecure. I did "reboot my phone" as you had suggested to another member here.
Thanks - just wanted to share this part for now.

Bluetooth Frustration: Nexus 7 says "use Razr for Internet" but Razr says same
I'm having trouble with connecting my Nexus 7 to my Razr Maxx over bluetooth. My goal is to share/tether my phone's internet connection over bluetooth. They connect reliably, but they don't share internet anymore (they did for several weeks). Not sure if it's related, but... both devices show that they are using the other device for internet access. It's as though they both think that they're tethered off of the other.

I've tried that. It won't un-check.
If this were a Windows PC, I'd look for corruption in the Registry. As this is Android, I'm not sure where to look beyond the bluetooth menu itself, but clearly there's a setting or file somewhere that's corrupted.
Now what?
Why not use wifi instead of Bluetooth?
Odd that setting will not uncheck.

Wi-Fi works and I use it until I can get BT working again, but the great advantage of BT (when it works) is that BT uses so little battery that you can leave BT tethering running all the time without noticing any adverse impact on battery life. Granted BT is slower than WiFi, but for everything except full res streaming video, it's fast enough for me.

On your Razr, make sure you have "Bluetooth tethering" checked under "Settings >>Tethering & mobile hotspot".
I had the same problem last week and somehow that setting had got unset.

On your Razr, make sure you have "Bluetooth tethering" checked under "Settings >>Tethering & mobile hotspot".
I had the same problem last week and somehow that setting had got unset.

The bluetooth tethering box was indeed un-checked. Checking it didn't immediately solve my problem. However, checking the box and renaming my phone's BT identity (in the hope that the N7 would see the phone as a new/different device and create a new/different BT profile for it) and then pairing to the new name appears to have worked. Of course, it was never going to work without the bluetooth tethering box checked and so I am very thankful for your suggestion. I might never have remembered to look at at that on my own. I think I had two problems. The bluetooth tethering box being un-checked and a corrupted profile.
The weird thing? Both devices still show that they are using the other for internet access. Go figure. Anyone else using bluetooth tethering, is that how it is on your devices?
Disable WiFi on both devices before Bluetooth tethering

never tried BT, but with Tethering/Mobile Hotspot on the RAZR, my Nexus7 works really well. and the battery is usually roughly the same?

R3dbeaver,
As you asking if battery life is the same using BT to tether intead of wifi? If you are, then the answer is no, battery life is much better when you use BT to tether.
I just switched from Sprint to Verizon this week and I have discovered that Verizon and torrenting don't seem to go hand in hand.
There seems to be two issues:
1. After downloading a torrent file and opening it up in an appropriate program (say uTorrent for example) it wont connect to any peers. (or so I hear from those who have attempted this, not me of course)
2. If Verizon finds out that you are torrenting, they will rain all sorts of hell down upon you.
I'm wondering (strictly out of curiosity of course) if there is any way to mask the fact that I'm torrenting (of course only hypothetically, I wouldn't torrent, that's illegal apparently)?
Additionally, if I were to tether my computer through my phone, would they still be able to tell, and is there any way of masking that as well (again, strictly hypothetical)?
Thanks

Two things come to mind that prevent torrenting from working on Verizon.
One is the ToS say we can't use "peer–to–peer (P2P) file–sharing applications" as this would degrade the service. As for using your computer and trying I doubt it will do any good since the your still using Verizon's wireless network. It's probable Verizon might have measures in place to detect and block torrent activity (and specific other activity they don't allow on there network).
Second is that you probably have a private IP address and not a public one. Unless you pay the $500.00 fee to get a public IP address you are assigned a private IP address... Because of this it is not possible for anyone to connect directly to the device. Depending on where you go for your torrents (and the BT client configuration of whom your connecting to) if your not connectable then you won't be able to download...
As for hiding your activity you could possibly run an encrypted VPN connection of some kind and see if that helps. If you have a home computer you might be able to set this up easily, but the reliability and download/upload speeds would be limited to the internet connection of the VPN server.
I've been torrenting and tethering daily for the last 2 years with no problem.
Thanks

Thanks for your response, this leads me though to two (new) questions:
1. For some reason when I was with Sprint, I had no problem with this, which leads me to wonder if it cant be managed with Verizon as well.
2. Are there any good methods for running a VPN directly from my phone, and will it indeed hide my activity from Verizon?
Thanks again

Thanks, I guess I'll keep trying then, Although I found one way to get it to work. If I start the torrent while my phone is connected to my home wifi (which is not as fast), and then turn off the wifi on my phone, the torrent will keep running fine. It seems as though (for me at least) I cant connect to any peers while on my phones internet, but once connected it will download just fine.

Can you shed some light on how you are able to do this? What torrent client works for you? Is there any special configurations/roms/etc. you have installed that make the torrent client work?
Are you running a BT client on a computer tethered to the mobile device?
.... I tether and torrent like a mad man. Use private trackers like bitsoup.me and force encryption.. Disable local peer discovery and dht and your fine.

Been doing it also. I rarely torrent but use adownloader (try their website) i think the play store is restricted.
Tether all the time without any problems. Unlimited data plan.

thanks, how do do all those things?
Utorrent wouldn't work on my Bionic but tTorrent lite from play store worked like a champ so I use that on my GS4

I'm just running Eclipse 2.0 and using Ttorrent. But the ROM shouldn't have anything to do with it. Not sure why it wouldn't work, I've been using ttorrent since my droid incredible days.
As far as tethering goes, most Roms will have the built in tether app working out of the box. If not, the WiFi tether app found from Google code works well.
I tether and use atorrent on my phone and utorrent with no problems
I call bs.

I torrent and watch Netflix on my Tv by tethering. This is my household internet and has been for over six months. My line alone I use 100-200gb a month. and my wife also has unlimited and does the same when I'm not home.
