Yes I am having the same problem, i still have the old Unlimited Plan, so i dont have hotspots! and it doesnt let me connect either.. Im going to try the Hotspot app on the market and see if it connects doing that, if not i hope some one has the answer.
Mine still unrooted, and locked.

It did require a mobile hotspot enabled data plan (5GB or Mobile Share) to use. What a shame. I did not know this before. Now this media link hd became useless for me.

There's no way there has to be an option for wifi only I don't know why its forcing a mobile data connection. I guess once it gets in more peoples hands we'll figure it out.
Theres a discussion about it at android central

I did not wanted to flash yet, but it seems i might have to do it if i want to use the Media Link now :crying::highfive:
Interesting... I had the same notification (contact at&t for hotspot functionality) when I used the htc transfer tool to transfer info from my old phone to this one.
Despite the warning, a wifi hotspot was still established and I had no issue transferring my info.
I wonder why this isn't the same result for the media link.

Were you using an Intl ROM? The stock AT&T one got rid of HTC's transfer tool.

Tethering works perfectly for me on ARHD 10.2 (which is what I'm guessing you meant to type). Just go to settings, hit more,mobile network shareing, then go into portable wifi hotspot settings, name your hotspot and PW, then hit the checkbox. I had no problem.
Just curious, when you did your install with AROMA, did you hit AT&T, or international?

I chose AT&T. But I was just asking for a way to get the hotspot free. I haven't tried because I don't want extra changes, but if you telling me that im good then I'll try

There is NO guide for ADHD 10.2 its an international rom which means there is NO AT&T stuff blocking use of tether, you must be doing something WAY wrong.

I've tethered multiple times in the past, and have never had AT&T bring up the issue. Just don't abuse it.

Well I kinda abuse it. I use sometimes 50gb in a month. But that's because I'm at a friend's during the weekend and the only thing to use is either tether or satilite internet lol

No.... Using the "phone" apn yes, at 5GB of usage I get throttled down to .047mbps down.
Then I just switch over to the wap.cingular APN and BAM pulling 6-10mbps down on H+/3G. No throttling here..
This thread is a bit confusing to me.
Are you guys saying AT&T charges extra for tethering?
ATT charges $$$ for a seperate data plan which lets you tether Internet, which is also limited to about 5gb or 3gb, not too sure. If you use tethering on a regular phone (stock rom with bloatware- fresh from the store), they would probably charge you for tethering because of the detection apk they put in there.
The way to bypass this is to use a custom rom, Internet tethering should work on it, maybe you could reflash/ reset the phone (all the settings and whatnot) maybe try a different rom?
Also, I diddnt know you could bypass ATT throttle, could you post all the complete APN settings to do that?
Cheers,
OK, please forgive me for being slow. You only save money if you're tethering from a phone with unlimited data plan, right? If you're on a limited plan, it doesn't matter and AT&T should not charge you extra, right?

If you go over the limit on a limited plan, they charge you extra $$$. I think it is $20 for 1 more GB.
If you are detected tethering on a stock ATT phone, they will probably charge you for tethering plan
If you are on unlimited data, you may lose it (plan) if you are detected tethering (stock phone),
if you go over limit 5GB for 4g LTE phone they will just throttle you.
Undetected tethering/ Custom ROM with removed att protection = only worry about going over the limit

Ask other people it doesn't change anything. It allows you to use native tethering to use a custom Rom but that's it doesn't change anything else

I agree. The only thing Att or carriers look at is the amount of data being used periodically or the mac/ip address. Carriers have the ability to tell the difference from our phone using data or tethering, especially if data patterns changes.

Heck I use a lot of data tether and through phone anywhere between 5gb and 50

I haven't been using the 5Ghz band.
So, I'm running OC5 OTA update, rooted of course, and have Hotspot working with the APN dun addition (not Galaxy Tools). Is there any way to keep Hotspot from turning itself off when I get a call while on a 3G network? Id like to keep it running until I choose to turn it off, regardless of the state of mobile data. See attached screenshot.
Thanks in advance!

Looks like it's not letting me attach my screenshot. See it here: https://www.dropbox.com/sc/73ot1zhyjhtnvrs/AABxxLdUh2USUIpwIddj3c0Ra

This. Only lte and Wi-Fi does your connection remain on, on 3G it disconnects.

Maybe I'm being misunderstood. I know data and voice don't work at the same time on 3G. I want the Hotspot to remain on, even without a data connection so the clients that are connected don't lose their connection to each other. Yes, I realize that they cannot connect to the interwebs but I use the Wifi AP to stream Plex from one device to another and it's a pain to reconnect and start the stream over. My kids also use it to play games together on their iPads.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.

My understanding is that if the data connection is lost, then hotspot turns off by itself. I'm not sure if I've ever seen any way to change this.
One thing you could do is use tasker or automate it to setup rules to turn it back on when your phone call has ended.

I'll give that a try. I don't recall it being that way prior to LP or on my S4. Oh well, thanks for the suggestion!

You need a data connection of some sort so no.

It only uses data for GPS I believe, not sure if there is anything else it sends/receives from the network.
