Hi guys, i have a Unlocked AT&T LG G5 H820 (Android 7.0 Software H82020n) and using it on the Three Network here in the U.K
Tethering & Hotspots wasn't initially selectable so i Googled it and found the solution:
Download 'Settings database editor' from play store, after installing you will see option system, Then go to: Tether_entitlement_check_state Click over it then Change the value to 0.
Now when i Tether, it is selectable, but nothing seems to happen & has no network connection. Hotspot is the same, i can create a Hotspot, but if other devices try connecting , it connects, but no internet connection.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
I also have a lg g5 att and u know what bro, u and me and all the other people who are using it outside america are screwed
So true bro!
I have downloaded an app called Tether Clockwork mod, which seems do do the job for £4, but laptop/computer also needs the program installed to work.
Bit more messing about, but it does the job

What do you mean? I didn't test the tethering and hotspot... But I had an issue that I didn't have 4G, couldn't access the internet just with the SIM card. But now it's solved... Forgot to configure the APN (Access Point Names). And when I bought the phone I was concerned that couldn't be used properly(4G) outside America.

Hello friend,
What u mean? How do u did these steps. Is it possible?? Please could u explain?
Go to the playstore & download "Clockwork Mod Tether" Tether works fine with this App
locked wi-fi teather by Provider
There wi-fi tether internet access is locked by mostly cellular-providers.
I add the APN on my LG G5 - take it from your cellular provider.
I dounload the 'Settings database editor' from play store, Then go to: Tether_entitlement_check_state Click over it then Changed the value to 0 to unlock the wi-fi tether.
I have wi-fi tether ON, then connected other device, and there NO internet on other connected device due the locked wi-fi tether internet access. Call your cellular provider and ask them is it locked or unlocked wi-fi tether internet access. If it locked ask them how to unlock - mostly it cost some money.
You can check the wi-fi tether working or not from another sim-card that you sure 100% works.
I had the same problem, and I founded the solution:
Go to Play Store, and download an app called "Settings Database Editor"
Once u downloaded it, search Tether_entitlement_check_state
Change the value to "-1"
Done, no need for reboot
sorry for my bad english, hope I could help u

Hi everybody!
I was wondering: is there any possibility to set a proxy (maybe using a 3rd party application) to surf to the Internet, when I'm connected to a WiFi network?
My university uses a proxy for all the outgoing connection, so I need to set it in any terminal I want to connect to the Internet with.
I'd prefer not to enable the "root mode" on my LG Optimus One, because it would invalidate the 2 years warranty.
Have a nice weekend!

I searched on net and it seems, that it is not possible. Most problem is, that some custom ROM is needed - in this case you will most probably lose warranty.
Maybe is some way in rooting of phone and editing of appropriate files. Because rooting is reversible operation, may bee there won't be any problem.

Thank you for the reply!
Is the rooting a reversible operation?
I mean: can I install a proxy for my phone (in root mode) and then deactivate the root mode?
Can LG notice I entered the root mode and deny my warranty?
It's my first Android phone (actually, it's my first smartphone ever!) and I'm a bit confused...

Well, it's not impossible for LG to notice that you rooted (and then unrooted) your phone. But even if LG doesn't notice what you have done, it doesn't matter: rooting the phone voids the warranty... you are then free to unroot the device but the warranty remains void.
Install Any Cut (search on the web or market).
Through Any Cut create a shortcut to home of the option Proxy Setting (I think is under Action menu').
Clicking on the shortcut you can change the proxy for the standadrd browser only.
(Browsers like SkyFire have the proxy option in them preferences setting).
In any case, I have never tested this method, but should work for the browser..I do not know if it works for the app too.
In the next weeks I'll check if the AnyCut solution works for me...
Thanks everybody!

i managed to set proxy server using "transparent proxy". this app needs superuser rights
any other ways of doing this without rooting the phone?
My P500 is rooted. But I still dont know how to access wifi via proxy.
I tried to use 3rd party program such as Proxysetting, Transproxy, Android GappProxy, Asproxy, Orbot,... The only working program on 500 is Asproxy (download on Applanet). However, it made me crazy that the status is Running just about 2-3 minutes, and then it comes to Waiting with reason: Couldn't check license. Anyone help me solve this problem??? (this program need root and superuser rights).
Many thanks!
i see it is an old post, but if u still need some app for proxy settings (with authentication)
i recommend using PRoxyDroid
I use it over my college network and it works fine
it is a free app
just google for 'proxydroid apk' incase u want to install it from apk
u need to root ur phone to use this
NOTE: ROOTING DOES NOT VOID THE WARRANTY. THIS IS A CONFIRMED NEWS
Should Barnacle Wifi Tether work fine on the Atrix now that we have root?
It wont matter that att wants you to get there tethering plan?

This isn't exactly an answer to your question but they found a way to activate the native hotspot feature without rooting or adding a tethering plan. I included the link to the thread and the instructions found within it.

Once you verified internet is working, power off phone, then power on. Phone should still have active internet connection, if it does, you are done!
I prefer to use barnacle, because you can do MAC based filtering (default deny, with questions for allow every time). Has anybody tried Barnacle on the Atrix with root?

What is the benefit of using the native ATT tether feature over barnacle? It seems to me that ATT would be more likely to discover your use of tethering if you use their native client and access points.

Not to mention that I got faster speeds when using Barnacle than I did the blank AT&T APN - 4.26 Down / 0.33 Up using Barnacle - 2.70 Down / 0.29 Up on the APN tethering....
For those wondering how to get Barnacle since the stupid Android Market says "this item is not available for your carrier," a big F-U to AT&T on that one, just root your device and allow side loaded apps, then from your computer, go to:
http://szym.net/barnacle/
and download the direct link.... You'll have to manually update it though (if necessary, works great as is on the current 0.6.7 version), because even with using Appbrain, it shows up in the apps sync'd, but will not open the market app to update, when necessary.

I don't have my Atrix yet (get paid on Monday), but on my current Streak, there are 2 ways to get Barnacle: Settings->Wireless & Networks->Mobile Network Settings -- Uncheck "Data enabled", then turn on wifi and download from the market.
The other (unconfirmed) option is to just use the Android web market: market.android.com . Search for Barnacle, install it there. It worked on my phone, but I had it installed previously. I don't think AT&T can block those installations, but I am sure they would if they could, so YMMV.
Barnacle not working for me.
For some reason, Barnacle Wifi won't even let my computer connect to it. It says it's sending out the signal, and my laptop is trying to connect but it just won't. My other smart phone won't even find the signal B.Wifi is sending out. The only thing that seems to work is using the native hotspot after following the instructions listed above. Just curious if anyone else is having an issue?

Since the app doesn't need an update just yet, I can't confirm the first way you suggested. But I can definitely UNconfirm the second - that's where I got the text from that says it cannot be installed on our carrier. I almost always use the computer to search for apps as opposed to the actual Market app on the phone.
Was sitting in the passenger seat of a car going 80mph down the highway earlier and was getting a great connection with Barnacle the whole 3 hour trip. Love it, didn't even bother with the APN tether!
what kind of computer are you using. i have the Chrome CR-48 and it doesn't work because they can't connect to ADHOC networks. Tethering sets up an ADHOC network, not infrastructural like your Home Wireless Routers

An easy way to bypass the Market check is to download MarketEnabler from the market and temporarily change the settings to another carrier (e.g. I tried Telstra). This will allow you install Barnacle directly from the Market.
I also find that Barnacle works flawlessly. The Native Hotspot feature also works with no problem. I have found however that the native hotspot requires high speed or it will not even start. Barnacle on the other hand will work when still within the Edge network if need be.

Pretty cool, I'll have to try that, thanks for the suggestion!
Another satisfied Barnacle user here.
I am new to Android and when I got my Atrix the first thing I did was root it with SuperOneClick. I tried tethering it using the XDA's forum instructions for APN but couldn't get it to work. A friend of mine suggested Barnacle and I've been rolling ever since.
I was a little confused when my laptop showed the ad-hoc connection and symbol rather than a 'traditional' wifi network, but my connection is solid.
Now to wait on AT&T to do their thing and turn the psudo-4G switch on.

This works PERFECTLY.... Just used T-Mobile (a little closer to home than Telstra is in Australia ) and updated Barnacle - will be doing this for any other "issues" AT&T throws our way......
I was able to install Barnacle as well as PDANET by
***WARNING*** Make sure you know your Moblur login information before proceeding. It was the account you created when you first got your phone.
1) Turn off the phone.
2) Remove the AT&T SIM card
3) Turn the phone back on(It will make you login to your Moblur account again)
4) Connect to your WIFI
5) Install Barnacle and PDANET from the Android store.
6) Turn off the Atrix
7) Re-install your SIM chip
8) Enjoy the applications
I have found that this will work with alot of apps that you cant DL from the store because of AT&T's policy's.
I was unable to manually update Barnacle after side-loaded, could you include the steps you used to manually update?
Thanks!

I have searched extensively on Google, and XDA but can't find the right answer.
I want to tether my phone. I can do this directly in Android but my current carrier brings up a message in the browser saying it's not supported on my current plan.
I'm addressing this, but in the mean time I'm curious if there is a way round it, hypothetically.
I have seen some Apps, such as ClockWork Mod Tether, but since my phone is rooted I wondered if there is a more elegant solution that doesn't involve any software to be added to my PC.
I read about using TB to freeze a specific App/Process but couldn't find any details.
Any advice would be great,
thanks

HOW have you not heard of android wifi tether? One of the first reasons I had for rooting the first Android phone I got.
There's also Barnacle Tether, available on the play store.
Guess Barnacle is gone... but there are other tethering apps on the play store though.
And I'm wrong again. Barnacle is still there, but doesn't show up when I search from my phone. How curious.
Since your phone is rooted you can download wireless tether.
Google it and you will easily find the download link or even directly via the play store.

I appreciate the reply, but if you read my post again the issue I'm having is not an app to enable wifi tether directly on the handset, it's that the packet data is being detected as not from the phone so I get a message, on the computer, in the internet browser saying my priceplan doesn't include tethering. I cant get around this 3 website redirect. So, I need a way to tether, without the network knowing... The apps you mention work when the block is at the phone level I believe.... This is something different Three is doing..
Please correct me if I'm wrong though...
Oh, and as for the apps not showing up, the mobile phone providers asked google to block these apps for certain customers.. if you connect to a wifi network when in flight mode, and go the google market, you should still be able to see them...

And did you ACTUALLY download the tether app and try, or were you using the tether built into the settings of Android? Because it sure doesn't sound like you downloaded the app...

Initially when I first posted I was trying the built in app but I downloaded the app you suggested anyway, but it didn't work. would connect to the computer but no data connection. Unsure if its an app problem or still a three problem, but I don't see how this app would fix the three problem. Does it somehow mask the PC data connection??? I couldn't see anything in the settings or set up that suggest that it would, it just looks like a more feature rich wifi hotspot app?? In addition I found mention that that others with my issue have also tried these apps like barnacle and it didn;t resolve the problem....

They can suspend your service if they discover you are doing tethering on your device if you are not alowed in your current plan.
I Hope you wont have any issues.
Otherwise it is possible that the sim card lock the feature even on rooted phone when detect thetering or it is impossible ?

yes I suppose they could do, but like I say I'm resolving this with my contract. It's more that I'm curious how they are doing it, and on principle don't like being told what I can and can't do
It can't be a sim lock.
I just tried tethering a Macbook, and amazingly that worked!.. SO, It must be something to do with the Packet Headers I'm guessing.. Or they are doing some other more detailed packet sniffing... It means there is definitely a software route around it... Need a clever developer to read this thread
I guess clockworkMod Tether might work, but I want a solution without a PC install..

When you use thetering, you embark to the provider internet network.
for example my provider is Bell Canada and their proxy is web.wireless.bell.ca
this one is for the device internet
for the thetering one they use another configuration settings when i connect my device to the computer.
What happen is when you plug your device to the computer, a signal is sent to the provider stating you entered in thetering mode. You don't have access to thetering so your internet connection is limited to the walled garden of the provider stating you are not subscrided to the service. Thats why i think they blocked the port 80 on your device and redirect you to that page.
Now for the Macintosh story.. It is not impossible that you can connect without problem with a mac and safari. I know a lot of people emulating a handled device with the Mac and the safari browser and those peeps didnt had a thetering plan.
The differences came with the drivers installed. Mac OS one are quite different in term of functionality than windows, thats why maybe the provider is able to sniff more easily people using windows but i am not a senior programmer. I am currently taking courses to become one but for now it is only suppositions. If i am wrong feel free to correct me but I am quite sure about what i am saying and that's why you dont have issues with a mac

This sounds correct to me. I'm pretty annoyed though. Only had the contract a month, I was told I could move onto a more expensive plan within contract if I needed more allowance etc.. Phone up 3, not only do they not let you PAY MORE for a different plan, but they also don't let anyone shift onto the one plan ever, unless its a new contract.. So basically **** them... so even if I want to pay extra for tethering I can't... absolute nonsense...

I CAN NOT use wifi tethering due to issues in the area, which is why the store nolonger offers WiFi
Did you modify anything else? Kernel, modem...
And which kernel and modem u using?
Have you tried PDANet for Bluetooth (or USB) tethering? It's a pay app, but you can try the limited version for free & if it works, pay for the full app.
Before you say anything I know that this isn't bluetooth but this is a REALLY good app 100% works (for me) he has instructions for every device. Also you could try modifying your apn and add this: "dun" (don't add quotation marks when you type this. Just type that into the "Apn type" setting in the apn settings section (if you are on stock this will be harder)

The app works and I changed the mobile settings to ipv4..it still is using the hotspot data..does any one have all the correct settings? Thank you and thanks to all the developers for their great work.

I have been noticing that on the lg g4 and now the v10 that mobile my account shows small usage of mobile data but not the actual amount I used. I might just be a mobile thing. Not quite sure but I too saw the same thing. But I also watched a week's worth of anime on my laptop via router and only was a 20mb increase in hotspot usage.
What are your mobile settings and the app settings? Thanks

Did you go their site? They have specific instructions on the site for LG phones on T-Mobile for instance.

I used all the same as the stock apn except I changed to ipv4...I assume you're rooted. Did you turn off the wifi scan setting under wifi?
Yes, I'm rooted and the scanning is off. I have even emailed the developer of the app. His last response was that I need a vpn.
There must be some sneaky software tracking whether you have tethering enabled. My Hotspot Data is being used/throttled no matter if I'm behind a VPN or tethering to another Android phone.
I'm rooted, removed all of the suspicious looking system apps, and set the APN settings to what I've always used before. I'm at the point of giving up and probably just going to use another phone to tether until a stable custom ROM is released.
I used to have this problem on my old Note 4 where the WiFi Tether app was working perfectly but Tmo was still tracking my data usage. The workaround that I found was to connect to a private VPN on my laptop. I used Private Internet Access to hide my IP and then I was able to tether off my phone with Tmo no longer capturing data used. I'm not sure if it will work on my new v10 though since I haven't gotten around to rooting it yet. I think there's a free Google Chrome extension that will do that same thing and for free. I forgot the name, sorry.
On my note 3 the guide I followed said I had to change the build file in a couple spots and then it worked perfect if that helps u guys out at all I really want this but can't use a vpn bc ps4 won't allow it with online gaming and my phone all I got out here in the woods
