As of yesterday Foxfi (wifi hotspot) has been blocked on my MetroPCS phone. My guess is that it has to do with Metropcs' T-mobile merger. Foxfi is on, updated, but my wifi hotspot is not being broadcast. I went to update Foxfi via the Google Play store and saw something to the effect of "if you have t-mobile use usb connection). So the app does NOT work with Metropcs/Tmobile now.
Is there a hack for this? My phone is already rooted. I use my lg motion and pdanet+ as a usb tether for my laptop and also as a wifi hotspot with Foxfi for an Android Tablet.
?
Does anyone have have any advice?

How do you guys do wireless tether with this phone? Whenever I try to use the Wireless Tether app, it creates an ad hoc network that I can't get my laptop to connect to. When my friend uses the same app with his evo, I have no problems connecting to it. Something about it having an infrastructure mode?
So, my question is, what do you guys use/do to successfully wirelessly tether to this phone?
Barnacle wifi tether if you insist on wifi tethering; or you could use Easy Tether for wired, but i believe it needs to be sideloaded
On a related note (sorry, don't mean to hijack), does the stock OTA 2.2 have the same tether tracking as the leaked version from earlier this year? I really don't want to pay the extra fee for something I'll use less than once a month.
I am trying to get Barnacle or Wifi Tether to work on my LGOG. My laptop will recognize it but it cannot connect to either one. I have previously used my Motorola Atrix 4G to tether with the laptop without any problems so I think the issue is with the phone.
Has anyone been able to get this working with either these or some other tether? I am stock and rooted.
Thanks
You could give this a try, it is cwm tether. It claims to hide your tethering, so att won't hassle you.

Wifi tether works. You have to change device profile to SGS3.
Can't take credit...found in the regular Optimus G section
Well, I couldn't find the clockworkmod tether to download but Wifi Tether did work as an SGS3. I tried Barnacle set as a Samsung device but it didn't work.
But with Wifi Tether I am set. Thanks,

Can we get some tethering support going on here?
I think The Base has it, but my phone refuses to boot that ROM for some reason.

If you have root, you can get Barnacle from the Play Store.

I had problems with unauthorized tethering on my iPhone (used to get the warning messages to cease or they would switch my grandfathered in "unlimited" data plan). then I just used pdanet and set it to hide the tether and had no problems.
now with android I've got pdanet again which uses foxfi for the wifi tether. foxfi hides the tether with an addon that also requires you to setup a proxy connection (your android) on your computer.
I used FoxFi and PDANet+ to get wifi tether any chance there is another wifi app I can get that will let me share my 4G LTE through wifi?
Yea I used WiFi Tether for root users and worked great. You can even set a password. Why not use your system tether though/

WiFi Tether not working
I have used the wifi tether for some time on my rooted devices. With the last update that pushed out by Verizon, I am now getting the message "your carrier has blocked wifi tethering with version 4.1". Does someone have a work around they can share?
Here's a tip to get wifi tether on a rooted s4.
I have been trying to get the wifi tether to work, on my s4, with the wifi tether app from my rooted HTC Rezound but i can't get it to work. If youi have unlimited data you are restricted from free wifi from verizon.
I just installed Smart wifi Tether and it works perfectly on my newly rooted S4 :victory:
You can find it in Google play.
