I am on an old Verizon unlimited plan. Since we don't have root access, I can't use my hotspot on the phone. Is there a tethering app the works with 7.*?
I have found this usb tethering app for rootted devices https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.snclab.USBtherrouter
Tethering App
This tethering app worked for me on my Verizon old unlimited plan.

Is there any app that will allow the Atrix to do wifi tethering via infrastructure instead of ad-hoc? I may need the ability for a week when I move and wait for my new place's internet service to be activated and installed.
The built-in Mobile Hotspot that Froyo includes is infrastructure mode.
Would the stock one get picked up by AT&T and I'd be charged for it?
Only if you haven't modified your APN settings. I think it won't work at all using the default APNs unless you have a tethering plan. Read up here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980636
As the title says I'm having trouble setting up pdanet fullversion to work properly. I've been reading a lot the past 2 days since I got this phone on tethering with it. I have the grandfathered unlimited data plan which complicates this. Ive also read that verizon has done something so that tethering apps in the playstore wont work for unlimited data plans (guessing this is why i cant use pdanet)?
Anyone tethering successfully with unlimited data plan and this phone?
Do i have to root my phone and flash a custom ROM on it to be able to use PDAnet?
Please help.
Anyone?
I have done wireless tethering w my unlimited data plan
I have not tried pdanet or wired tethering
You can only tether if ur rooted using the app wireless tether
You cannot use the built in hot spot cuz verizon will say you need to buy the monthly service even if ur rooted
I am unlocked rooted and on ukb 1.21
Using wireless tether
Put your settings on generic ics/jb wlan0
And force wifi driver reloading

Stock rooted ME7 with grandfathered unlimited data. Portable WiFi Hotspot works fine for me but I was wondering if there is a way to USB tether? If my home internet goes down, I need a way to tether to my desktop that does not have WiFi.

If you go into settings > more networks > tethering. There is an option for usb tethering. I have never used it so I cant confirm if it works or not. There is also quite a few play store apps that can do it.

Those all work fine on an metered data plan. But for those of us still on unlimited, any USB tether option just brings up the VZW subscription message.
Bump.
Nobody on this forum has unlimited data and could benefit from tethering via USB rather than WiFi?

Foxfi states it can do it without the need of a tether plan and can do it via usb.

USB tether should work, it did for me on my Bionic. Had unlimited until I changed plans when I upgraded.

That program along with any other USB tether programs still uses the built in USB tether option and when you attempt to activate it, you get the error message that a subscription service is required. This is the same message that most WiFi tether apps give as well. Portable WiFi Hotspot is the only app that will still activate the WiFi hotspot if you just hit the home button after the error message. I am just looking for an equivalent for USB tethering.

Same problem on my s3. Can't believe I can't find a solution for allowing USB tethering. Google results fixate on the wifi tether, which works flawlessly for me. But when I try USB tether, that damn sub message laughs at me.
From the lack of responses here, I'm guessing that there is no way to USB tether w/unlimited data on stock rooted ME7 (aside from paying $30/month of course). I'm sure USB tethering is possible with custom ROMs but those aren't possible with ME7.
Just root and get cyanogenmod. It has a built in usb tether

Cannot get recovery on ME7 firmware and therefore cannot get custom ROMs (cyanogenmod).
Is there a working usb tethering app for this phone?
What variant do you have? I have the Verizon XT 1528 and all I did was set it up on PagePlus and it opened up built in tethering for whatever reason. Have you tried foxfi?
Boost. We tried FoxFi on a virgin plan without any luck
Hello everyone,
I am trying to gain some general knowledge about the current state of tethering on android in general but more specifically for my situation on a unlimited data plan on Verizon on a Samsung S4 i545. I'm currently at Android 5.0.1 on OF1.
From what I have gathered so far there are two basic ways of doing wifi tethering these days.
1) Mod the built in tethering application so not to check with Verizon for the tethering plan.
2) Install an app that uses it's own or iptables type of network routing to do the tethering.
3) tethering apps that don't need root (ie FoxFi)
First off if there are more options that I'm not aware of please let me know.
I would like to "fly under the radar" as much as possible being that I'm on a grandfathered unlimited plan. This leads me to believe that using a app that does routing would be a better option. I have tried many of the free apps in the app store and most do not work with my setup.
I believe the following apps are apps that actually do routing.
"WiFi Tether Router", "WiFi Tethering by OpenGarden", "Barnacle WiFi Tether", "WiFi tether" (also known as Wireless tether for Root Users or android-wifi-tether)
I have root but I can't get any of these to work. (with the exception of WiFi Tether Router as I haven't actually tried that app because it's a pay app)
Other options are installing mods that modify the built in app tether app like
I545_OF1_tetherAddOn.zip
And last the option of running an app like FoxFi that doesn't require root. and looks like it is using some kind of VPN to get around tethering? not sure how this works or where it stands but I think it's also using the built in tethering app and just somehow bypassing the Verizon server that checks for a tethering subscription.
if anyone could help shed some light on how these apps are working I could then decide at what level of exposure I was comfortable with. As of right now and my limited knowledge of how they work I think an app like WiFi Tether Router (if it works would be worth the purchase)
Thanks,
Chris

You should look for the WiFi Tether Router paid app apk online, i have the same problem with WiFi Tether, and also flashed the I545_OF1_tetherAddOn.zip and still no result, so I'm going to look for the app's downloadable apk link and share it with you, I'm also going to try it ☺☺

I'm wondering what can help us with WiFi Tethering too, so I tried a lot of apps and methods and nothing worked, the only tethering I was able to get was USB with FoxFi, tbh works really nice, even better than my home internet, I'm foreign so I cannot enjoy 4g on this phone but still got a pretty much decent speed, it's not WiFi tether but it doesn't bother me because works really nice. Still will try to find any other alternative to get WiFi tether but for now FoxFi USB tether seems to be our best option
thanks for getting back to me on this.
Again I'm not just looking for a solution to my specific situation but rather trying to gather information on how the different methods and approaches work. I feel as if I only have a slight understanding of how each approach works. I'm pretty curious to what all the VPN stuff is about that some of the non root apps are doing.
WiFi tether router by Fabio works also for USB tethering KLINK works with option "mimic mobile device" set to on both paid for apps.
A little feedback about Foxfi:
I didn't wanted to connect my galaxy to the pc so I decided to try WiFi tethering and it worked! just follow the instructions it gives you and it will work, if you wanna change WiFi name or password do it from Foxfi, default tether manager just turn off tether and doesn't change anything
Thanks mahn
