Using the Off the shelf Verizon ROM with nothing else installed. the phone does NOT have a data plan.
When I turn on WiFi I am able to see all the networks but am unable to connect to any of them (secure or unsecure). The phone goes into "Connecting" mode and never connects to it. I've tried an open wifi (the one at starbucks), a WEP enabled wireless network (and yes I did put in the Netkey/password), and now a WPA network. All with the same result.
Everytime I try to do anything data related it tries to dial the #777 and do PPP over the cell line.
Is there anywhere/anyway to drop the Verizon Data Network. I deleted it and it comes right back each time.

Well there is no way to delete but there is a way to stop accidently dialing #777 by going to start>settings>connections tab>connections>Then under the carries's name (mine says sprint) there should be 3 clickable links click the one called Manage Existing connections>Press new>The setup will tell u how to do it for connection name i just used my name u can use anything you want press next after that>When it asked for the number dialed put #777 press next>It will take u to a login page Make a username BUT DON'T MAKE A PASS DO NOT MAKE A PASSWORD then press finish and choose the one you just made as ur primary one (put a dot in the little circle next to the name of the connection u just made) then press ok now test it out by hitting the internet button without the wifi on or anything if you did it right it should take you to a login page that you can just close to stop yourself dialeng #777
This is probably not the case, but if you can't even connect to unsecure networks, the signal strength is probably too weak. (Probably not the case if you are sitting right into the Starbucks)
I blocked data access on my phone and never went though the wizard on the phone. My phone doesn't even attempt to dial or do anything if i am not connected via ActiveSync or WiFi. Maybe you have a defective phone? Good luck.
Stock VZW ROM will have the default wifi power settings wrong to actually be able to connect to anything. Fix this by going to Settings-Connections-Wireless LAN-Power Mode and moving the slider all the way to Best Performance. This should enable you to connect to access points.

I always wondered what that power slider actually changes. I usually leave mine on best battery and still connect to my home network. What does best performance change?
Hello every one,
When I select "data connexion off" it comes automatically back on "on" position from time to time as if a software is forcing the use of it.
Is there a way to force it down?
For your information, I've been struggling for a while with my conexions overall as the flight mode prevent my gps from working so I tend to use the phone in normal mode except that I select data conexion off and I dont enter rhe code pin to prevent any communications! Even though, I still get some extra fee from my provider due to data transfert! I have a french HD2 working with bouygues (french provider) and I have been charged 8 euros despite all my effort to avoid any data transfert!
thanks for your help.
You can use NoData to prevent your phone from accessing data feature of the phone. Look here for the application http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1325870. I think it in post #7

On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap Menu > All Settings. Tap Connections > Wi-Fi and then tap the Wireless Networks button. The Configure Wireless Networks screen then opens. Under My ISP Tap Add New (or Menu > Add New) modemconnection, give it the name "Offline" and select mobile connection (GPRS). Then Next give the accespoint "Offline" again, go to Next and done.
Now to go offline select under existing connections under My ISP Offline. To go online again select your phone provider.
With this methode you don't need to install any program
On my wife's and my own Galaxy s4 running FreeGS4 v2.0 ROM - the hotspot works via menu, I have a toggle widget for it that works too. I can connect up with multiple devices to either phone...
But neither phone will allow more than 2 devices to connect at any one time.
I went into the LAN settings to confirm settings are correct - and they are, DHCP is active and allow up to 100 connects - this was default, i tried lower and lower numbers, all the way down to 8, but neither phone will allow more than 2 connections at the same time.
I tried to toggled airplane mode on and off, I've tried rebooting. I've tried manually entering the settings.
I'm starting to worry that it is a flaw in the ROM itself, but a friend of mine who also has the same phone and ROM as I do claims he can connect more than 2. So I'm not sure but I am at hair pulling out stage at this point.
Anyone have any ideas?
edit - search works! I found the solution, and I feel 3% more stupid for somehow missing it earlier

go to settings - hotspot - "press on configure->show advanced options->maximum connections" Thanks
Click on configure hotspot and page down in the pop up menu that appears. Click the box that says show advanced options and then set the maximum connections you want to allow. You can also set 2.4ghz or 5.0ghz in this menu.
We're trying to connect commericial sprint and verizon s4 to a test software for LTE ftp throughput testing.
-We've enabled the DM mode but when we enable USB tethering it disables the ports.
-Dial up method dials out but cannot attach to the internet (Every time the dial up is enabled through hidden menu it loses signal then reconnects but the dial up is again selected as disabled).
-Tried using the 4G (ADB shell) method to generate throughput/Does not work, problem coincides with the first issue listed.
This happens on both Sprint and Verizon. Does anyone know how to go about doing this? What menu options need to be enabled? Our phones are not rooted and we would prefer them that way unless that is the only option. We do have MSL for Sprint phones.
I just recently got my Note 10.1 (2014) WiFi a few days ago, but have been doing quite a bit of research. One thing I really wanted was my tablet to be... well, mobile. I could always use it at home through WiFi, but off the WiFi connection it serves very little purpose if any at all besides playing offline games, and playing offline content.
So, I did some research and found that its actually pretty easy to have Bluetooth Tether automatically enable itself and connect when you have your phone and tablet near each other.
Items needed: Android Phone, and Android Tablet
1. Download Bluetooth Auto Connect on your tablet.
2. Download Bluetooth Auto Tethering on your phone.
3. Download Tasker on your phone / Llama on the tablet. I used Tasker on my phone and found it slightly difficult to get this to work on the tablets end, so I used both Tasker and Llama to get this to work, your preference however.
4. In Tasker (which I have enabled on my phone):
Add New Task > Add Action from Plugin > Click Bluetooth Auto > If Bluetooth ~ On > Click pencil icon next to configuration > Make sure Enable Blueooth Tether is active > Save.
Once you complete this click the upper left corner "back" button twice and you should see your new "Tether" task listed on your phone.
5. In Llama (On the tablet):
Events > Click plus sign on bottom right of screen > Add Condition > Wifi Network Disconnected (any wifi network) > Add Action > Locale Plugin > Bluetooth Auto Connect > Make sure you set it to your device, in my case its the Moto X > Save.
Once you complete this, click back on your tablet and you should see the new event listed.
6. Profit
-------------------------------------------------------------
To test, disable and enable bluetooth on your phone, go into settings and check to see if tethering was activated automatically. On the tablet, enable WiFi (given you can connect to a network). Once connected to the network, disable WiFi on the tablet. It takes about 5-10 seconds to kick in, but you should connect to your phones bluetooth internet connection automatically. I ensured my phone was connected to data and not the wifi when I tested, but any connection (wifi or data) will work through tether.
Now, it might be just as easy to do this all in Llama, but its working for me using both apps. I will try to get pictures and format this better later on, but I figured I would share. Let me know if you have issues!
Thank you, this was very useful!
Will deffo give this a go - Thanks
I think there is something I am doing wrong. I followed the steps and couldn't get this to work.
What's happening?

Tablet Talk
If I understand well...
The easiest way: install on both device the Tablet Talk app and voilá! 1 minute and it works!
EasyTether is my app of choice
Gets installed on your phone, pc and tablet. Supports usb connected or bluetooth. Very handy.
Does this still require you to have a bluetooth tethering plan on your phone?
Kit Kat (4.4.2)
It was mentioned that this was used on the Galaxy Tablet 10.1 (2014). I am wondering since the new update to KitKat 4.4.2 has gone through does this still work? I ask because I was running this method with a mix of FoxFI and PDANET - Tablet, and it worked fine until the update, now its not working. So wanted to see if this method was.
Thank You,

I just set my tablet's TTL to 65 and use wifi tethering.
Anyone know if tethering still work with these? I just bought 2 wifi models for $299 (refurbs) on ebay. We want to possibly deploy them for the business. Everyone has Droid Maxx's with unlimited data and it would be nice to tether them together. The tablets are shipped with Android 4.3 and Im afraid to upgrade to 4.4 kitkiat (I know it automatically will). Are there any kitkat tablet tethers for non rooted phones?
If not, is it possible to root the Note 10.1 and permanently stop the OTA update?
thanks ill try it soon on kitkat
Uncheck the auto check feature.

I followed all the steps but I cant complete the tasker part. Whenever I go in to it and try to add a new task, it prompts me to tell it what task I want to add. I dont get the option to add plug in. Am I doing something wrong?
how can i get these apps? Bluetooth Auto Tethering? Cant acess it from austria - unavailable in your country
Is there an apk available or so?
Needed solution for my Phone to tether bluetooth with inet. The solution I have is with Automate (like Tasker but free) See picture.
