I was wondering if someone with exp on modding apps found a way to unlock wifi calling on any network? I really like that feature but tmobile has horrible coverage where i live so i had to change carriers

Sorry but many of the best devs have been trying for years and no dice
I dont know much about programming apps etc but i know with the verizon bionic you could use sqlite to change aomething in the hotspot app so you could get free wireless tethering so i figured it be the same

Hi, I have a stupid question about tethering... I have always used wireless tether for root from the market, but I have Ken's Alien rom, and im wondering since it has tethering, can I just use the mobile hotpot feature without fear of AT&T finding out and charging me?

How easy is this question? Doesn't anyone know haha

Well i have read then at&t can generally find out but it is easier to be caught with an iphone I should know because I used to have an iphone 4 flash a c a tricks I say using an app which state that I can hide tethering.
Other ways of hiding your tethering include not using it for a long session
Thought I was caught using tethering on the iphone I still haven't been notified on my atrix
But the common consensus is that there is no real way to hide your tethering from at&t unless they really have a reason to look into your account

Use Barnacle.............it works fine and is safer than using the APN for tethering.

<edit> I prefer WiFi Tether, but it doesn't appear to work with 2.3.4............at least not for me.
<edit 2> Just realized WiFi Tether has been updated: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list.
This works with me now. You will get an access control error, but ignore that and you will be fine. Verified working on my laptop here at work. Got 3.5Mbps down and 1Mbps up which is usual dl/ul speed for me at work.
Yeah, wifi tether for root is working flawlessly, but it would be nice to just use mobile hotspot from the phone haha.

Mobile hotspot worked for me. I did the sqlite edit and clicked on the mobile hotspot app and played around with netflix on my 3DS. I had at&t send me a text of my data usage and it still says unlimited. I would imagine if it didn't work they would have changed me over to a 4gb plan.

I did the entitlement check change and use the mobile hotspot which works great. Haven't had at&t say anything to me even when I used custom apn method before.

Okay so tmobile's phone plan was a little too much, so I switch over to Walmart's family mobile tmobile plan thing! Now my wifi calling doesn't work, does someone have a zip or something that can fix this?

Are you trying to use voip? What problem are you having, be more specific.
Okay I switched to Family Mobile (with walmart) and when I try to turn on Wifi calling this shows up:
W006. 15 ISP or T-Mobile network error
I don't know why because Family mobile uses T-Mobile satellites so why isn't it working??

What is wifi calling?
Wifi calling is using a wifi connection to magnify the strength of your phones calling and messaging signal!
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
It seems like wifi calling is not supported by Family Mobile. You might want to call customer support to see if they can help you set it up. Though it uses t-mobile, t-mobile network recognized that you are not their customer.

I have the same problem and have been searching all around for a fix for this. Also updates to Mytouch? Wounder how to get any future updates
Anybody got this working yet?
So I was wondering if the 4 US versions share the same roms, kernels, etc?
No

Sprint plans are cheaper than other providers which is why I want to switch to it. If they offer horrible internet speed I'd rather go with att or verizon.
Just wondering if, when you root the s4, are there any additional hacks to get free mobile hotspot tethering? My droid 3 was hacked with a custom Rom, and a radio hack, and still would not allow mobile hotspot without paying the 20 dollars a month for mobile hotspot.

Wondering this myself. I know the TMobile version has this figured out.
These posts are everywhere on the s4 forums it's ridiculous. Please go read one. You do not need root for wifi tether to activate without subscription

Thank you. I've seen about 30 threads asking the same exact question.
Simply answer, you don't need any wireless tether apps, just use the built in hotspot with a widget such as "Portable WiFi Hotspot".
+1 to the portable wifi hotspot app.
Worked like a charm!

This only lets you use 500mb free. Then you have to pay T-Mobile more. I'm already paying $70 for unlimited internet.
What's a good third party hotspot app for rooted users?
I use Tethering Widget without any problems.
I get a page warning that I've used over 500mb when using Portable Wi-Fi hotspot widget.

I think you're getting that because you're on T-Mobile. They might have something for you in the T-Mobile S4 forum...
I finally got my T-Mobile htc one on MetroPCS on $60.00 a month account with Taxes and fees included on the same payment, I'm now saving $15.00 and I'm on T-Mobile network but on MetroPCS payment plans everything working Voice over Gsm, 4g over UMTS HSPS+, 4G LTE. With great data speeds.
But there's one flaw!!! WIFI CALLING IS NOT WORKING...

It won't work either for one of two reasons
First it works strictly thru tmobile SIM card , even tho you get tmo lte
Second the WiFi calling error means that you have to add update 911 address under your My T-Mobile account and then it works
I don't believe using a metro SIM In any tmo Device will get WiFi calling ever ,mainly cause it's alot to do with the tmo sim service the Main reachable service is still metro towers that's why .

I am wanting to set this up too. Metro PCS has good service in my area but they said they're having trouble with the GSM phones connecting to their 4G LTE network. T-Mobile's voice and text work great where I'm at and my brother is on Metro with one of their CDMA phones and his service works well. I literally just got my HTC One today and so far at my house I'm only getting 'G' which I assume is 1x or Edge service correct? When I reboot the phone and it initially connects to 4G and then drops it. I'm wondering if I take it to Metro and have them put it on their network if the 4G will work better? I wouldn't think it would impact it that much though. I have 30 days to try it out before I lose out on being able to return it and I'm all about saving money so switching to Metro is a big deal to me but I need my 4G too!

I'm no longer in Metropcs CDMA or Their Ericsson LTE network. I'm now on T-Mobile Gsm and LTE network under Nokia but with Metropcs Account. 2 different networks, so that means when you where on MetroPCS cdma and LTE you where on their original lte footprint with Ericsson lte sites, tmobile is planning to unite Metropcs lte with tmobile Nokia lte. But it will take some time.

Thats kool it is something you could have done setup from phone at home in 3 minutes tho...just sayin...
Glad it worked tho.
So to sum it up your saying you get actual tmobile WiFi calling with a actual metro 4g SIM card in a tMobile device ?
Not the same WiFi calling as my metro but I mean the tmobile exclusive WiFi calling .
That's very weird that that works using a metro SIM ..cause it's suppose to be a tmo sim cars thing also that has a lot to do with how it works .
