I just bought my wife a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 on Verizon from someone. The phone is the I605 and already has 4.4.2 installed. I just obtained root with ghettoroot and now I am trying to find out how to obtain wifi hotspot without subscription on unlimited data? I am coming from Motorola phones that had KitKat and had patches that fixed the problem. Does anyone have a fix for this?
No but try tetherfy and if that doesn't work Foxfi, both available in the play store

You need to install xposed framework followed by xtether/mototether module. You can them the use the stock hotspot.

For a those running SGS2 on T-Mobile, is it possible to get their wifi calling feature installed?

No. People with other T-Mobile Android phones couldn't do it or had to make bizarre changes to their rooted phones in order to get it half-working. It's deeply imbedded in to the phone OS. Use Skype or one of the other VoIP solutions in the marketplace.

Thanks for the quick response. Bummer. The prob with Skype is that it isn't free calling like with the Tmo app.
Will look into the alternatives or just wait it out when TMo releases an official Samsung SG2 equivalent.
well, the GS2 *does* support iWLAN ...

In my 5 minute read up on this, it "should" work similar to the wifi calling app, correct?
Do you know of anyone confirming iWLAN is working for them?
anyone have success with iWlan?
has anyone tried it? did it work? Tmo now has a new stock rom out for the SGH-T989 that is supposed to have Tmo WiFi calling on it, but am afraid i will lose root if i flash it. Anyone try the tmo stock? can i get root back on it?
If you search there is already a 2.3.6 root if you update via kies software.. Yes, you will lose root to update to the 2.3.6, but you can unroot it again via odin..
Orange UK have a wifi app for the S2, it only works on Orange here in the UK as it has to be enabled on the network side. Here's a link with instructions on how to get it working

Just wanted to let everyone who didn't already know. Foxfi wifi tether is working on our Galaxy S5 without root. I have tested it and it is working. We don't have root yet but we can still use WiFi tether for now.

Nope . . .did with another tether app, and i do get the trusted certificate warning every time I reboot, but the release notes said to expect that . .
It doesn't work for US Cellular either. Synchronoss TEDC keeps getting in the way.

It is specific for US terminals?. Because i've the international one and the thether option (wifi zone) is on the quick menú by default.

Has anyone installed the update that is being pushed out fro Verizon? Wanted to make sure it didn't stop foxfi.
Thanks
Did not work on my unrooted ATT Galaxy S5 being used on T-mobile.
I called ATT to unlock this feature, they asked me to call Samsung. Called Samsung, the guy wasted 2 hours & called ATT & T-mobile and finally advised me to contact ATT to unlock this feature. I have asked him to give me in writing. I paid for and own the phone and ATT has no rights to block some features.
I wish someone initiates a class action suit on these people.
FoxFi worked on my Verizon S5 before I rooted it (this was a while ago), but I had to use the certificate method. I tried recently with an AT&T S5 active, but I couldn't find the certificate option anymore...
a bit of research.....

imho USA providers take a lot of effort to crap your terminals with unneeded SW while locking many features. Users learn this the hard way..... maybe a more in depth research before buying would help.
And of course.... this fórum can make the difference once you already jumped into a new terminal: rooting, unlocking, flasing ROMs... is all a click away from your fingers once you learn a bit. I'll take this way rather tan calling Customer Service....

I recently bought a Verizon S4 in the US and am using it back at home in latin america. I want to get rid of the verizon pre installed apps, the verizon bootscreen and be able to unlock the mobile hotspot option.
Right now I have the 5.0.1 Android version with the I545VRUGOF1 Build.
What would be the best way to go? flash it with other rom? in that case witch one would you recommend? I like lollipop if possible I would like to keep it but my main goal is to delete the bloatware and enable the mobile hotspot.
thanks..

For now it seems like root can not be obtained with the OF1 firmware because no one has discovered any exploits. And the bootloader is locked so no roms, recoveries, etc can be flashed. I am in the same position as you but for now all we can do is sit back and wait
Mobile hot spot should already be working too! I use mine once in awhile to connect my nook or something to Internet

for me too im waiting some solution to enable hotspot wifi
ive been using the verizon model on net10 and was having trouble activating the hotspot because the phone would recognize the sim card as not being from verizon, i came across a thread for the lg g4 verizon model and tried it on the v10 and it worked. im guessing you have to be rooted for this to work. heres the link to the original guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g4/general/how-to-enable-native-hotspot-unlimited-t3166435
another alternative might be foxfi

I have a customer who successfully used FoxFi on MM, non-rooted.
Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk
for 30 bucks a month unlimited data, I just pay. Turn it on with a phone call and off thru My Vzw, when I need it. Its prorated. I mostly use it traveling with the family so they can use my unlimited data. A buck a day for unlimited data isnt too much to ask I dont think! Specially since root is not looking good.
Hotspots should be freee......... i also used foxfi on non root to enable hotspot on some phones.
Still on the grandfathered unlimited data plan with Verizon, so no tethering in my plan without Foxfi, etc., which was blocked a while back. With the S7edge, we could do that trick where you eject the sim and enable tethering if you time it right when you push the sim back in... Going to need to find a way to get tethering again... sigh.
I could tether fine with my unlocked Note 8. No FoxFi was required. I just started hotspot from the settings. I am on the grandfathered unlimited plan as well.

If you order thru Samsung website and get the unlocked version there is no WIFI hotspot check so it works right out of the box, plus its cheaper than ordering thru Verizon.
Yea, I'm aware of the unlocked option, though I have heard some reports of some carrier specific features such as VoLTE, voice of wifi, visual voicemail, etc. not working on the unlocked version.
Anyone w/ grandfathered umlimited data on Verizon that has their S9+ that has tried this trick? Picking mine up on Friday...
I've got gUDP with an unlocked s9+ from BB and tethering worked today.
Unlocked S9
I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but just confirming I understand what you guys are saying. With an unlocked Galaxy S9 you can tether right out of the box if you still have the grandfathered unlimited data plan? Is all you do is swap sim card from your old phone? How do you get future os updates and are they going to be updates that won't affect this tethering access? Thanks

That would be updates pushed to unlocked S9/S9+ phones. Those are generally a bit slower than carrier updates, but they do come from Samsung.
Thanks for the info
S9+ unlocked on the way
My S9+ unlocked is on the way, is there anything special I need to do with it after unboxing or just insert sim card, power up and open hot spot? I really appreciate the expert advice from you guys since my knowledge about this stuff is very limited.

Yes all i had to do was insert my verizon sim, and open hotspot and it worked. Now the only thing im missing from the Verizon model is wifi calling, i never used that anyway so its no big deal for me.
Thanks again, just wanted to make sure I didn't mess anything up. Really appreciate the quick response.
Returning S9
Cannot get Wifi to work on the new S9 from verizon. I did a quick search before buying which said foxfi worked but alas NOPE.
So I am going to return the phone to verizon and just wait I upgraded from s4 which was nice for a week!
I have grandfathered unlimited data so my options are limited.
Bought an unlocked s9 plus straight from Samsung and my hot spot worked right away like the guys on here said it would. I don't believe a Version version will let you unless you pay for one of their tethering plans.
Verizon - Samsung S9+ - Unlocked?
I'm picking up my phone through Verizon but they said they would unlock it. I currently have the Galaxy S7 and was doing the sim card trick. Has anyone else tried with the S9+? But if I get "unlocked" I'm wondering if it will work as you guys have mentioned here. So clutch to have your own hotspot when there isn't one or its slow.

Use the unlock version or flash the U1 firmware to get hotspot working
Side question...
I see a stock firmware collection website at www . getdroidtips . com / samsung-galaxy-s9-plus-stock-firmware /
and wondering if it is possible to install stock firmware (without unlock) on a carrier-locked S9/S9+ so that can enable tether on a grandfather unlimited account?
Note: I am on AT&T grandfather unlimited plan and AT&T does not allow me to tether.

All firmware are carrier branded,
To bypass AT&T tethering you can either use an APP or use the U1 firmware.
