For those that are familiar with the beloved Verizon gUPD (grandfathered unlimited data plan) I learned that unlocked phones would bypass the subscription check...but recently on Reddit someone told me that his update to Android 11 (on his MotoG ) broke his hotspot capability....so I'm wondering if there's anybody out here that can confirm or deny Android 11's effect on hotspot access

Hi just recently the three company changed my sim plan's terms of agreement, that limits tethering to 2GB a month with the mobile network data. I do have a all-u-can-eat data plan just that in three's unquestionable wisdom they decided to limit tethering.
Does anyone know of any good apps or ways using command lines etc. of hiding my tethering activity? This may of been answered, but I'm a noob so....
My smartphone is a Chinese clone of the Galaxy Note 3, Star N9000, (I just rooted so i guess that will help) android version 4.4.2
Any replies will be appreciated cheers
Hello
I'm from Myanmar (Burma). I bought Sprint LG G3 and I used SIM card from Myanmar. When I bought Sprint LG G3, it came with Android 4.4.2. After I bought, I upgrade to Android 5.0.1 Lolipop. After finish upgrade Lolipop, I can not use Access Point Names feature and Tethering Hotspot feature. And I also can not find these two features under Mobile networks. So I downgrade to Android 4.4.2. But problems is still cause.
I don't know what happen. I want to get back original android 4.4.2 from Sprint Company. Or I want to get these two features from Mobile networks tab.
Please help me
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.

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.
Being a new member, I'm limited on where I can post. Hope I'm in the right area I found this site and it looks like someone here would be the most likely to give some insight to my question.
I've been through several "rugged" smartphones in the last few years. They all have held up to their claims of being rugged but fail on the least likely areas. I'm now looking at the Kyocera Duraforce. I need a GSM phone for my area. I can get a new one reasonably priced but I sure do like the hotspot feature when it's called for. I'm on an unlimited plan from my local provider. It looks like the unlocked ones from AT&T are designed to not allow the hotspot to work on any other network other than AT&T.
So my question is if anyone has found a way to make this possible on an unlocked Duraforce phone? My last phone died the other day and my wife is nagging that I NEED A PHONE. I was late picking up our youngest at the bus stop the other day Hope someone could offer a potential solution? I'm a techie by trade, but I admit Android is a mystery to me.
I used the PdaNet+ app available on the Google Play store to get around the hotspot restriction on my AT&T Duraforce E6560 so I could use it as a hotspot on the Telus network in Canada. You can try the app for free, but costs US$10 to remove the trial restrictions.
PdaNet+ can enable USB tethering and/or create a Wi-Fi Direct hotspot on the phone. You have to install a small app on your computer to connect to the hotspot or USB. So it wouldn't provide a hotspot for a TV or game console unless you could set up a proxy on the device.
I haven't tried the USB tethering, but the hotspot works fine with my Windows 10 laptop.
Hello everyone!
I've been searching this forum with no luck on my question so I'm posting it here. Please, if I'm in the wrong place feel free to move this or delete if not allowed.
I've found some amazing information on this site in the past (thanks to so many smart, phone savvy, outstanding members!) and am really hoping someone can lead me in the right direction. I'm very luck that I'm still grandfathered on Verizons original unlimited data program (no throttling) and my old Samsung S4 finally gave up the ghost. I used Foxfi on the S4 for hotspot with no issues and loved Foxfi! I purchased a new unlocked Moto g Power (model XT2041-4) and had Verizon install the sim card and activate. The lady at Verizon said, since I bought the phone outright, it would NOT change my plan in any way. After getting home I installed Foxfi on the new phone but come to find out Foxfi does not support Android 10, which is what the new phone runs on. I am able to turn on the phones built in hotspot, and can connect devices to it, but now I'm getting really worried that Verizon will be able to tell that I'm hotspotting, which could void my plan.
As the phone is "unlocked", and I'm not getting any warnings or messages from Verizon stating that I must pay for hotspot when I turn on the phones built in hotspot, am I worried over nothing? If I do need to worry, can someone suggest a trustworthy app (I have no problem paying for a functional app, as I paid for Foxfi and it worked excellent) that would give me hotspot access without Verizon knowing?
Thank you all in advance for any advice/suggestions! I'm not as tech savvy as I once was so hopefully I didn't just get into a big problem with this phone.

I have the same phone, but with T-Mobile. Since you already have FoxFi (and the key I assume) you should download PDaNet from the playstore or Google June Fabrics & get from there. When you open the app, at the bottom be sure to check the hide usage box & you should be good to go. Use mine sometimes for my laptop thru USB cable for gaming...( Have to because while T-Mobile gives you hotspot in their data plans, they greatly reduced the speed :/ ) Hope that helps!
T-Mobile gives you 3GB to share on standard data (Plus Up gives you 20GB)
(Sprint is my Carrier) Interestingly, I too was able to turn on the hotspot function of my device, however when I connected a device to the network, absolutely nothing would load. The system was being provided with an IP address, just no internet access. I ended up having to root the device to get it working properly. I found that even when attempting to use FoxFi/PDaNet and selecting the "Hide Usage" option, it would continue to block all traffic to the connected device. Not sure if you tested the actual Hotspot function, or just turned it on, but you will definitely want to make sure you test with a connected device.
just for my perspective, ( from a dutch guy) , you guys in the states are not allowed to use the tethering function?
here in the Netherlands it's no problem, never thought of using another hotspot app, on some days i tether about 3 to 5 gb , no problem in my unlimited dataplan, only when i go above 5gb per day then i have to "activate" every next gb per sms ( free of charge) and all that for € 26 /month.
Mmy average data usage would be somewhere around 20 gb per month
