Hi Guys. I posted in the HTC One X (non +) and then noticed this separate forum. Sorry for the repeat.
My company just gave me an HTC One X+ from AT&T since I didnt want an iPhone. Seems like a good device but I did run into one snag.
My previous phone was a Galaxy S2 but was having major battery drain issues with Exchange Server so I thought I would try a different manufacture and keep my fingers crossed. The snag is this: with my SGS2 I was able to use FoxFi (and others) for WiFi tethering/hotspot and it worked great even bone-stock. With the HOX+ it seems At&t has gotten a little smarter and can detect when a program is trying to hotspot and I get taht message saying to call them if I want it enabled when I start FoxFi.
I have the paid version of clockworkmod and that will not work at all - says failed to connect when I hit start in Windows 7. I also have the paid version of PDAnet and that kind of works but the connection get dropped pretty regularly making it unreliable. Not sure if this has anything to do with Att's detections since they did gave me some trouble with the SGS2 as well (not exactly same though).
My question is this: can I get FoxFi to work WITHOUT root? Since it is brand new and not mine technically I hate to start hacking the thing up so quickly. But the tethering is a function I really like.
Thanks
Ernie
My phone is rooted, FoxFi and PDAnet didn't work..
I'm using this one :

I'm notl 100% sure but i dont think you'll be able to get what you want without being rooted. I'm surprised you had such good luck with the GS2 if it was on att and not rooted. Previous poster did suggest a great tool, been using it for years... But have to be rooted to do so
I don't believe you can actually get WiFi tethering on your phone without paying the extra amount from AT&T if you don't have your phone rooted. I have mine rooted and the hotspot feature works great!
Thanks guys. Thats what I figured. Guess I will have to just do it.
Ya, go figure about the S2. Guess I got lucky with that one.

I just got my HTC One x plus, and I am using PDAnet (free version), and I am able to tether via USB, with no issues. I have been able to do skype calls with no issues at all, browsing the web is fine as well. Tethering via wi-fi is the challenge, I have not been able to find anything that will allow me to do this. I use AT&T and my device is un-rooted.

PDANet works for me but seems to drop me at randomly. Not sure if it has to do with the ATT block.
So does Att have the ability to detect teathering - rooted or unrooted?

with wi-fi and un-rooted, it seems they detect, with USB un-rooted they don't, at least, this is what happens on my end.
My wife recently purchased the Lg Optimus L9 and wants to be able to tether it to her ipad. Is this possible for this phone. We have T-mo and unlimited data plan. It's saying "our plan doesn't support tethering to another device" but previously she was using a blackberry and my old G2 and it worked fine. The phone isn't rooted and I'm not even sure she would want me to root it but she probably would if this was the only way. Thanks in advance for any info/help.

What model of L9? You can try first update to jellybean (use ROM not from t-mobile). Cause I have V20D Baltics for P760 and tethering works fine with my laptop without root (but I don't know about ipad cause I don't have one).
EDIT: But it more sounds as your data plan doesn't support tethering. I'm not really sure how it works in t-mobile but tethering is additionally paid option. Maybe you used your limit for tethering? Cause as I see unlimited data plan has limited tethering e.g. http://www.androidcentral.com/t-mobile-unlimited-plans-may-get-tethering-bundled-starting-wednesday
2 options:
1.) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201062
This requires root and works.
2.) Try "FoxFi" & "FoxFi AddOn" from the Play Store.
I could not get these to work with Jelly Bean but you may have better luck.
Hey everyone,
I did a search on this and couldnt find anything in the forum - forgive me if this has been covered.
I tried using the stock Wifi Hotspot app today expecting to be greeted by a message about needing to pay for it. My phone is 100% stock, not rooted. I pressed the icon and it instantly turned on without any mention of extra charges or provisioning, has anyone else seen this?
I dont believe my account is provisioned for using it as a hotspot, i've never even attempted to use stock tethering in the past as I am coming from a rooted SGS3 running custom ROMs
Anyone else using Wifi Tethering without paying for it? Oh, and im not on unlimited data, not sure if that matters.
Thanks!:laugh:

Since you are not on an unlimited plan, it should be provisioned out the box.
The standard app should work no problem. For you they don't care. Actually the FCC made them not care.
Unlimited, they care.
Makes sense - the more i use it the more I pay them, thanks for the helpful response

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

This method will work if you have root.
Hello everyone, i was curious if anyone has been able to use Foxfi on a grandfather unlimited data plan with the latest software update?

I have a customer who successfully used FoxFi on MM, non-rooted.

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.
Hi,
I just wanted to put this out there if any of you guys like me relies on the T-mobile LTE Cellspot to get a good signal and data in your house. On 5.1.1 it worked like a dream, with speeds up to 60 mps download. As soon as I installed the update I'd no-longer get LTE using the cellspot. The LTE light stopped blinking (it should always blink when your getting LTE on your phone), and the 3G/4G light started blinking and all I could get was 4G with 10-12 mps download and I'd loose signal all together a lot. Witch never ever happened before the update. So I did all the usual things. I did a factory reset on my phone . I did a reset on my cellspot. I called Tmobile the first time and the guy basically said 6.0 is buggy and you'll just have to wait until LG issues another update to fix this bug. He offered me LG's phone number I said forget it and hung up. I thought about it a bit then called back. This guy just immediately issued me a replacement device, witch they sent overnight. I got it in the mail yesterday and when I set it up it was still on Android 5.1.1 and works perfectly again. I'm scared to update it again. I was just wondering if anyone else on here has a V10 and uses an LTE Cellspot and has updated to 6.0 and had any of these issues? If so please let me know. If your still on 5.1.1 and rely on a cellspot then beware of updating to 6.0.
thanks.

I am in the same situation. I traded in my TMO wifi router for the LTE Cell tower. Great addition since we had 4 phones and 2 tablets that were all on wifi prior to. Once I updated my V10 (via LG Bridge) I immediately noticed a difference in signal strength. Prior to, I had full bars of LTE coverage anywhere in the house. After the update, I regularly see the spinning circle (searching for signal) above my signal bars, and even out in public, my signal strength has dropped. I was going to be patient and see if another update followed soon. If not, I might root and start testing other roms and kernels.

Unfortunately if you took the mm update there is no root yet... You're stuck waiting.
Here's hoping for a root breakthrough!

Thanks for the info guys. I got lucky and Tmobile sent me a new V10 with Lollipop still on it so it's working great again. I noticed that that MM update isn't available anymore, the few times I checked anyhow, I called Tmobile, and I don't know if the guy was full of it or not but he said they pulled the 6.0 update and are working on putting out a 6.01 update that works better. But if you hurry and call Tmobile they may send you a new phone that's still on Lolipop like they did for me. Let me know if an new update comes out that works with CELLSPOT otherwise I'll wait for root. Thanks for the feedback though I really appreciate it.

According to the Marshmallow update page for T-Mobile devices as well as the support page for the V10, they have not pulled the update nor is there any mention of them doing pulling it so the dude who told you they did us full of, well you know what. Never believe anything the customer service person on the phone says because 9 times out of 10, you will know more then them, and they are clueless most of the time.

yea your right buddy.. they just sent me another OTA to update for MM. I figured out a way so it would stop bugging me about it. I'm not upgrading again until a new update comes out that I'm sure works with my cellspot. the only thing I miss about MM is the new Google Now... that is really slick. I wish there was a way to get that without updating from lolipop
Ok, T-Mobile is aware of this issue and are currently working on 6.0.1 to fix the problem, I don't know how long, but I was lucky enough to get a replacement phone with Lolipop, and I'm not updating it until the 6.0.1 is out and somebody successfully did it and it works, until then I'll stay on lollipop, all I really miss is Google now on tap.

Ok, I just got off the phone, with both Tmobile and LG, I can confirm they are working hard on a 6.0.1 update for the V10, they claim all bugs will be fixed with this update, thank goodness I got back to Lolipop. But they are working on this update to come out in a month maybe 2, both people at LG and Tmobile said. So good news.

Care to share how you got rid of the annoying update notification?! It's basically telling me to update to a buggy unrooted MM when I like my v4a too much! I haven't figured out what app to freeze or hide the notification yet..
Thanks in advance!

I'm not 100% certain on this, but I believe that freezing the update center Will Stop the MM upgrade because I tried that & it seems to have have been the cause of the notification disappearing. I had to restart my phone after freezing it to make the notification go away, but it did go away without my hiding the notification for Google play services. I hope this is able to help you
Saw that they finally have root for MM but I do rely on the T-Mobile cellspot at work. Also you guys mentioned that you random signal lost while out and about. I'm not gonna take the chance to update my phone. Will wait and see what v6.0.1 brings. Otherwise, I'm content with lollipop, does all I need it to. I used Siraltus's methods to disable the OTA notification.

Sorry I haven't looked at this thread in awhile. I got rid of the notification by going to. Settings >General >apps>all> then scroll down to the update center and just hit disable. That stopped it for me. Let me know if that worked for you as well.
Any News on this?
I went into my local tmobile store, they claimed that LG has notified them on the mistake on the 6.0 update and that they are working on a fix. My wife and I have the V10's and are tired of the network drops.... getting old. worked fine on lollipop. I guess it's a waiting game now, since there are no publications on this issue. every time I call customer support, they have no idea that this is a problem.

I was told the same thing and I was sent a replacement phone with Lolipop still on it and I haven't upgraded again. I don't know if that's still an option or if they're shipping the V10s already with the 6.0 update. It might be worth looking into. If you raise a big enough stink they'll send you new phones. I couldn't live with this phone on 6.0, it was horrible. All I really miss about the update is Google now on tap and that's not really a huge deal because this phone is so awesome running on 5.1.1 on the cellspot.

I just picked up a lg G5with 6.0.1 and already exchanged device...drops signal with cellspot every 1 minute...no signal,full bars...Tech support no issues noted on their end with G5 and said sorry go back and get a different device
---------- Post added at 04:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 PM ----------
i did see that turning off GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto and switch GSM/WCDMA,seems to be holding a signal and staying connected to LtE cellspot...so just the people getting a G5 and reading this..1st thing i would try do!
I wonder if that would work on the V10 6.0 update.. Hmmm, I'm scared to try, if anyone already has the V10 on 6.0 and you try that let me know.

LTE Connectivity now working
Came home today and LTE connection from cellspot working. I don't think T-Mobile updated phone, as there were no updates. I think they may have updated the LTE cellspot via internet connection. Did a hard reset of cellspot yesterdat. LTE connects with 35 mbs speed (same as internet connection). Greensboro,
