I have MetroPCS and I was able to get around tethering by using a VPN, now I can't even connect to the VPN without this thing popping up when I try to click on the network. It's like it requires authentication now. Image attached.
I'm not talking about the upsell page itself, I'm talking about the authentication window that pops us.

MetroPCS/T-Mobile knows if you've been tethering. You'll see this page if you've exceeded your allotment.
The best way around this is to us PdaNet+ and USB or Bluetooth thether.

PDaNet doesn't work with Mavericks MAC OS X. And I'm not talking about the upsell page, I'm talking about the authentication window that pops up. it wasn't doing this before.

Just because you have unlimited 4g does not mean you get unlimited hotspot capabilities. They consider them separate.

So now that we have permroot, is there a wireless tether app that works? I tried the one here:
http://www.jonamerica.com/technology/the-htc-rezound-root-guide/
But although it starts, I don't see the ssid on my laptop. I think perhaps infrastructure doesn't work with that. I'd prefer to avoid ad-hoc.
So has anyone had success with a particular market or apk for wireless tether?
Thanks in advance!

Ive tried a couple versions of the usual Wireless Tether.apk, but I still only get wep as an option. Trying to find a way to get WPA2 to work.
I am using "Wireless Tether for Root Users" V2.0-7 and its working perfectly. None of the newer beta versions have worked correctly for me so far..
It seems to work in ad-hoc mode only though... but it works fine for me. I'm not using WPA either, I just leave it open with access control turned on.
Barnacle
I'm using Barnacle Wireless Tether from the app store and it's working EXCELLENT. Even brings over the 4G speed but is also working in Ad-hoc mode.

Whats not working? The link or the app?
If its the link then try a differnet browser.
If its the app then make sure you go to settings and select MS Routing and Clamping. Something like that anyways...

No wifi modes work in infrastructure on the rezound is my understanding. Adhoc only.
---------- Post added at 07:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 PM ----------
Tried the following:
Old Wireless Tether
New Wireless Tether
Barnacle
None will work. No signal comes out at all. The data counter will get to like .4kB and just freeze.
Yea, but i read that new wireless tether beta app, the dev was wanting to get it where it can support infrastructure mode, but only a few phones would be worked on....idk if its still in the works or not...

Yeah, I had no issues at all with WiFi tether. It has worked on every single android device I have ever had. Optimus, Evo 4G, Evo 3D, and the Rezound. I have tried every single version he has made to boot! Never had any issues.

Some devices do and some dont detect ad-hoc networks. Until we get a custom kernel capable, and software to manipulate it, we're stuck with ad-hoc only, which works for like, 95% of devices that would need to connect to it.

Those with unlimited data plans do not get free tethering, it is blocked and requires you to pay for it.

There is always the chance of bricking when you flash anything. The universe could decide your house no longer needs power in the middle of the flash and you could be in a world of hurt because of it. Not likely though. Many (including myself) have flashed using this method with outstanding success. And as for advantages. Root is what I needed to get wifi tethering to work, remove bloatware, and run many purchased apps that required root.
I posted this earlier but will post it again for how I achieved wifi tethering:
"Just got flawless wifi tether running with TrevE's modded wifitether.

Not true at all.
I have unlimited and i use portable hotspot which bypasses the VZ activation and I've never been charged.
The WiFi Tether - TrevE Mod method did not work for me.
However, this simple little app does work:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kr.core.technology.wifi.hotspot&hl=en
I guess the authentication system used by Verizon isn't all that robust, if all you need is a simple app that doesn't even require root to bypass the subscription check and start the native WiFi tethering. Heh.
I have this issue nonstop.. It's random and annoying..
I've gone an hour or two without problems and then all of the sudden 4g icon disappears and comes back over and over until I stop tethering and restart it.. and then it happens immediately.. If I keep restarting tethering eventually it will hang on without dropping out but it will start it's crap again eventually.
I could have sworn Trev-E caused the phone to do the same thing. I want to say the issue is the phone and or the radio firmware.. possibly the kernel?

Is there a thread on how to set it up properly to work on the VZW note2? It always crashes for me when I try to start it up.
These settings for TrevE Mod have worked perfectly for me on Vzw since the first day I rooted. Also, make sure you have the right version from 11/22/2012 and uninstall any old versions, apparently it does not upgrade very well. Good luck.

I was under the impression that FoxFi works on the LG G3 and you don't need root.
Foxfi does not work! The http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/g3-hotspot-hack-t2812305 does. But you need to be rooted which is a easy as a breeze.

Yeah as mentioned by others it does not work. Unfortunately I need my work email on my phone and can't root it so for now I am use USB tethering via PDANet. Hopefully the developer finds a way around it. On the bright side, my laptop keeps the phone charged while I tether to it. :laugh:

What you could also do is just change the channel. So pretty much just change something about the network everytime. i'd just go with the channel so the ssid just stays the same everytime

It seems that lots of ROMs are no longer working, at least for me, and are directing me to a T-Mobile site to allow me to sign up for a hotspot plan. That said, I'm able to connect to my VPN and get around the browsing portion. See the attached screenshot for the page I get directed to. Any ideas?

If you are on AT&T you may need to be rooted and delete a folder in system/app called ATTEntitle. It should fix Hotspot in 3rd party tether app or (Free) Native Android Hotspot in settings.

I think you CAN use Native Android Hotspot in instead of 3rd party tether but you need to change your "tether APN" to default "internet APN."
Maybe this thread can help http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...lopment/unrestricted-tethering-n920t-t3188301 But if you Try this you will want to monitor your data usage on T-Mobile website (or however you keep track). You don't want to run out of "tether data" if you can prevent it.

Very nice, so just using the app alone has stopped the tethering number from climbing?
