I am looking for the terminal command to toggle the wifi hotspot.
Have gotten wifi and mobile data toggle working fine but no go on wifi hotspot.
Any assistance is much appreciated.
I'm sure it's something simple I'm overlooking.
Thanks.

No I'm looking to accomplish wifi tethering via terminal command.
Baseband has no bearing on this.
in order to turn off wifi in terminal by
Code:
svc wifi disable
I'm looking to do the same thing but with wifi tethering.

I was using that as an example.
But I've found a workaround for what I was trying to accomplish.
Just would still like to find a method that could be done completely in terminal.
Without third party plugins

You can use "service call connectivity 24 i32 0" command.
This works on my device with android version 8.0.0
If that doesn't work replace 24 with near numbers like 23, 25 ,22 and try.

You need to be more descriptive. What tethering app were you using? If it is wifi tether what were your settings?

If you're in public make sure to use a security method and check access control so other people can't jump on your tether. If you enable access control you have to allow the connection either by selecting it in the pull down or from the menu of the tether.

Nothing is going to hide data usage. The wifi tether will hide the fact that you are tethering, and most roms hack the built in tether to hide that fact as well

I rooted my OTA VRUAME7 Verizon S4 but can't seem to get wifi tether to work. I've tried both of the newest Wifi Tether for Root (3.3 beta 2 and 3.4 experimental 1). Changing the device-profile to S4 doesn't help. It will start up and say "started with errors." Checking the log results in a "no log file" error.
I also hunted around with SQLite Editor trying to find an entitlement check, and came up empty (to use the built-in mobile hotspot).
Has anyone successfully figured out how to WiFi Tether on a rooted OTA VRUAME7?
Thanks in advance! :good: :good:
To add the hotspot toggle:
Download app => Click Me
Got to => Settings storage
Click => settings.db
Click => system
Search for "notification"
Highlight => notification_panel_active_app_list
Click the edit "pencil"
In the "value" section add "WiFiHotspot;" anywhere you like...
Restart phone
Note: Make sure your list ends with a semi-colon
If you see the warning screen, just hit home.

Could it be any easier? So the only danger here is exceeding your data limit?

OP please read
Hey guys/gals, here is a fix for the VZW GS4 that resolves the issue of WiFi hotspot tethering. In the latest update, you now get an errors message that checks for an active subscription and then gives you an error and turns off the hotspot. Here are 2 methods I found.
Method 1: Download any app that allows you to freeze/defrost packages. If you cannot find one or do not have one, download an app called System Tuner by 3c. You have to find a package called "SPG" (system package). Freeze this package and it will prevent the phone from checking for a subscription service. Run your non-factory hotspot app. It will crash and maybe freeze for the first time, and then exit, just reopen it and it should then work.
Method 2: Using System Tuner, find the package called "SPG" and click on it so that it becomes highlighted. Then click "Details" so that it brings up the info about the app. It should show a list of packages under the "Activites" section (near the bottom). Uncheck the box labeled "NewSPGActivity". After this, you can run your hotspot app and it should crash/freeze for the first run. After that, it should run smoothly.
I hope this works for you all. If you have any questions or issues, just reply to this thread. Don't forget to give me a thanks!
Note: Do not use the built-in wifi hotspot toggle switch, it will crash. Download an app from the market to toggle it.
Note: If you cannot access the settings by clicking on the Hotspot notification, do this: settings>more networks>mobile hotspot.
Note: I am running ME7 with 4.2.2 JellyBean and stock rom.

Foxfi works with no subscription notice all you have to do is make a pattern lock when it asks you.

Foxfi seems to be working. No adhoc error. I've yet to connect to it though. Cautiously optimistic

What exactly force closed?
If you are trying to run the hotspot from the built it button, it will crash. Use an external app for your hotspot. I use "1-click tether" at the moment. I'm going to do some more looking right now.

I just use the toggle. Then, after that hold down the home button for recent apps and go right back to what I was doing...
Yes, was trying to use the built in button and the app crashed. I haven't had any problems with third party tether toggle apps. After getting the subscription check and hitting the home button I am good to go.

FoxFi uses your data plan, so if you don't have unlimited data it will cost you a lot of money. The technique I'm using prevents the phone from checking if you have an active subscription or not. Also, FoxFi limits how long you can use it continuously if you don't purchase the pro version. I used to use FoxFi before i rooted my phone.
On VRUAME7 build hack is not required. Toggle the built-in Wifi hotspot on and as soon as the subscription check message comes up just press the home button and it will go in the background but you will be able to still use tethering.
i just froze that app. and installed a third party wifi tether app and it worked .,thanks

IF you are correct, you still have to deal with the message every time you want to tether. Also, since you have to hit the home button, if you want to change your setting or anything then you have to go back into the app and deal with the message again. This just makes it easier. Your idea just avoids the issue, mine fixes it. I wasn't trying to be rude or anything. Have a good day!

No problem.
So now that 4.3 is available for Verizon I was curious if the typical tethering apps/widgets for us non-rooted folk still work? The tethering widget has been my go too and have become accustomed to just hitting the home button when getting the nag screen about needing to subscribe to the service. I read on the FoxFi app description on the playstore that it "does" support the 4.3 update for Verizon. Can anyone confirm if either of these work since the update?
Pdanet+ with full license got my tethering back.

nolockscreen works and the subscription status shows up so I press the home button to get rid of it (trick from 4.2.2) but the connection isn't seen on any of my computers or devices.

Tethering has been built in, with no need for additional software since the launch of the S3, and still works in the S4.

Yes if you subscribe to tethering through said provider. This wasn't the question I asked.

FoxFi definitely works but you need to set a PIN/Pattern on the device. If you do the nolockscreen option it doesn't start the connection.
Still on 4.2.2. It's weird that I don't get the nag screen at all if I tap on the wifi tether widget and I don't subscribe to the plan. It just works.

That is actually what I get plus you don't see the red hotspot symbol at the top. The blue foxfi icon is still showing though.
Meanwhile I guess I will use the lock screen method until we get root.
PDAnet and Easytether both work but obviously they USB-based tethering rather than Hotspot apps.
I finally figured out how to get framework-res.apk decompiled, my goodness I don't know if it was because were now on api 18, or because Im on linux but I got it decompiled im looking into the tether prospects now.
-P.S. if anyone else is having trouble with decompiling, let me know ill see if I can help

nolockscreen hash only if you want to avoid setting a PIN. But looks like that hash doesn't even work and you have a PIN anyways so no need for it.

Hey, I think I've worked out the mod for a tether unlock (usb, wifi hotspot, and bluetooth). If anyone wants to test let me know. I can make a flashable zip or a script that will rename the old framework, copy the new framework, rename the old framework to back, set the permissions on the framework and finally reboot. Let me know
